Chapter 25: Transfers (I)
Ma Zhenyang knelt on the ground and said, "Lord Yun, if you break through with the elite in the fort, you will naturally kill all sides and succeed, but in that case, I am afraid that none of the refugees left in the fort will survive." The little people implore the adults not to abandon them. ”
Ji Wenyuan shouted loudly: "Old Ma, what are you doing here? Is it only you who have the people in your heart, and Lord Yun and us don't have them in your hearts?"
Ma Zhenyang broke down in a cold sweat and said, "Xiaomin...... Xiaomin is just worried about ......"
Yun Tianjia was very surprised when he saw that his words were sincere, not like a hypocrisy, and thought: "This rich man is rich, but he cares about the common people, which is quite rare. ”
said, "Get up quickly." I promise not to leave them behind. Reaching out and pulling him up.
Let Yongzhi say: "Outside the horse, you are really confused. If Lord Yun would abandon the people, why would he personally deliver the babies to the pregnant women for the sake of their safety?"
Ma Zhenyang said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, the little people are confused, please punish the adults!"
Yun Tianjia said: "Don't mention it again." If I want to save everyone's lives, I have a way, I don't know if the horsemen are willing to cooperate?"
Let Yongzhi interject: "Do you want to dig the tunnel out? We have to dig the tunnel out of the city, avoiding the eyes and ears of the Spiritualist Sect, then we have to dig long enough, the engineering quantity is not small, within ten days, I am afraid it will be difficult to do." Moreover, there is a lack of timber in the fort, and the tunnel is not supported by wooden piles, so it can easily collapse. Please think again, adults. ”
Fu Huo Dao Leader Li Siyun echoed: "Let what the adults say make sense." Poor Dao thought that even if the tunnel was dug through, our personnel would be mixed and the target would be too big, and it would be difficult not to be discovered by the enemy after being transferred. Even if you don't block the entrance of the cave immediately, after you go out, once you encounter the enemy, there is no strong city to defend in the wilderness, and the consequences are unimaginable. ”
Yun Tianjia smiled, just staring at Ma Zhenyang and not answering.
Ma Zhenyang was like a thorn in his back, his face was blue and white for a while, and he suddenly knelt on the ground again, and said, "Xiaomin should die, he shouldn't hide it from adults." In fact, in the earthen fort, there was originally a secret passage leading to the outside of the city. ”
Ji Wenyuan's eyes widened, and he shouted, "What? There is such a thing? Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Yun Tianjia was not surprised at all, and asked, "How long is the secret passage?"
"The secret passage is more than ten miles long, leading to a dense forest in the southwest of the county, and the exit is hidden. But there are so many of us that it's easy to be spotted. ”
"You don't have to worry about that, I have my own plans. Yun Tianjia pondered for a moment, then turned his head and said, "Gong Luoluo, you take Zhang Changjian and Zhang Changyu to the secret exit to reconnoitre, go back quickly." ”
The secret passage is located in a corner of the middle castle hall, with a Bogu frame and a map, which are very delicately camouflaged.
Gong Luoluo and the three of them opened the mechanism, lit torches, and went down into the tunnel.
After more than an hour, Gong Luoluo and the three of them came back to report that there was a big waterhole near the exit of the tunnel, surrounded by strange rocks, high mountains and dense forests, and no trace of the Spiritualist Sentinel was found.
Yun Tianjia was overjoyed and said: "Except for the horses, all the people in Hanyuan County have entrusted you with your blessings. ”
Ma Zhenyang hurriedly shook his head, not knowing whether he was ashamed, panicked, or relieved.
Ji Wenyuan, Sun Mengxuan, and Rang Yongzhi said in unison: "Please ask Lord Yun to assign tasks!"
Yun Tianjia looked around, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he didn't bother to be humble, and said: "We are divided into three waves, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Hong Liang, Zhang Changjian, and Zhang Changyu led two hundred elite government troops to open the way first, looking for a new foothold for the army, and set up camp, and set off in a quarter of an hour.
Sun Mengxuan, Rang Yongzhi, and Ma Zhenyang commanded 900 miscellaneous soldiers to escort the elderly, weak, women, children, and the wounded and sick to evacuate, and the food and baggage were also taken away.
I broke off with Gong Luoluo, Ji Wenyuan, and Fu Huo Dao Chief, along with three hundred elite government troops, fire guns, crossbow teams, artillery teams, and Hercules.
In order to cover everyone's retreat, I will sneak up on the enemy camp and take the opportunity to launch several fake breakouts. Everyone should remember that the enemy is very close to us, and when retreating, it is strictly forbidden to make noise, so as not to hear the flaws. ”
Everyone agreed in unison.
Outside the earthen fort, the three fierce gate generals released the scouts for dozens of miles, and waited for two whole days, but there was still no shadow of reinforcements.
The two quarreled.
Dugu You endured for a long time, and said fiercely: "Since you disagree, then the attack that wants to attack, the retreat that wants to retreat, Lao Tzu continues to surround here, don't bother me if something happens." ”
The human bones and snake scales died down and stopped talking.
The red-eyed scorpion Dugu ghost's light flashed, and he suddenly said: "We can't attack, we can't retreat, and we can't surround it." It's better to design to lure them to take the initiative!"
Fu human bones and snake scales hurriedly asked, "What is the best plan?"
"We left only half of the men and horses around the fort, and the east gate of the fort was empty. The other half of the men and horses went out from the south of the city and went around to the north gate of the city to set up an ambush. When the enemy saw us walking towards the south gate, they must have thought that we had withdrawn to our lair. They were short of food and were anxious to find reinforcements, so they had to break through the east gate. After breaking through, of course, he went straight to the Huazhou Mansion in the north of the city, and then he just fell into our ambush. ”
Fu Rengu said: "There is nothing surprising about this strategy, what if the enemy is not fooled?"
Dugu You sneered: "Then we will build a few more catapults, and throw rocks over the earth fort day and night to help them make decisions." ”
Yun Tianjia and Gong Luoluo stood on the wall and looked out, only to see that more than half of the enemy was missing, but there was no one outside the east gate. The rest of the people, busy demolishing houses and pushing houses, cutting wood and ropes, and building equipment, seemed to be preparing to attack the city.
Gong Luoluo was puzzled and said: "What are they doing here? They said that they were attacking the city, but most of the people were gone, saying that they were retreating, but they were building equipment with great fanfare, isn't it a contradiction?"
Yun Tianjia said with a smile: "They are surrounded by three and one is missing, carrots and sticks, soft and hard, so that we can break through from the east gate, I guess there must be their ambush outside the city." ”
Gong Luo Luo Xi said: "Isn't that just right? We originally planned to sneak attack the enemy camp and cover the retreat of our own army, but now we can plan and paralyze the enemy, thinking that we are really in the middle of a plan." It's really a pillow for sleepy, and it couldn't be better. ”
Yun Tianjia thought so, and immediately ordered all the men and horses, with the knife cart as the head, the spearman, the sword and shield hand, and the hook and sickle hand followed, and he and Gong Luoluo were embellished in the tail, opened the east gate, and rushed out.
On the pillboxes and walls, archers, musketeers, artillerymen, closely echoed.
Seeing that the enemy in the fort was really impatient to rush out of the east gate, the Spiritualist Sect was overjoyed and clamoured, and followed behind, but pursued but did not attack, as if chasing ducks.
Yun Tianjia and the others rushed out of the east gate and turned north, and the Spiritualist Sect thought it was a plan, shouting and intimidating, for fear that they would escape too slowly. However, after walking a short distance, Yun Tianjia and his party suddenly turned around the knife cart and rumbled into the enemy on the northeast side of the earthen fort.
The enemy on the northeast flank was defenseless and disorganized.
The knife cart was like a dragon, grinding out a bloody path among the enemy troops, making a circle, returning to the east gate of the earthen fort, and swaggering into the earthen fort.
Snake Xuanlu had already led people to ambush outside the north gate of the county town, and the remaining Fu human bones were scolded under the earthen fort.
Dugu You's face was gloomy, and he ordered his disciples to step up the construction of equipment.
