Chapter 442: The Old Man Who Gets the Flute
On the east gate of the somewhat deserted city of Lamp Flow, two sparrows jumped lightly at the head of the city, looking for the leftovers accidentally left behind by the defenders. Suddenly, a sparrow stopped, tilted its head to look at the young man on the wall, and chirped twice.
"Got it." Hao Qian stood up from the recliner with a helpless face, picked up a small bag from the ground next to him, took out a handful of rice grains, and scattered them on the city.
The two sparrows hesitated for a moment, but finally could not resist the temptation of the grain, jumped off the wall, and happily pecked at the grain on the ground.
Wu Yan looked at the two chirping sparrows with a kind face, the warm sunlight shone down, and there was a peaceful atmosphere around them.
Knock knock, Ha Ying rushed up from under the city tower, frightened the two sparrows and flew away.
Wu Yan shook his head helplessly, "How old is it, it's still rough." Say, what's the matter. ”
Ha Ying scratched his head, not knowing what Wu Gen meant, and reported, "The owner of the village, the wounded and sick have been evacuated to the mountains, and Commander Xue has also led the troops out of the city. The merchants in the city who were willing to leave the city were released, and several traps had been arranged. In addition, the west gate has also been cleared for people to enter and exit. ”
Wu Yan nodded, "Very good." ”
According to the plan with Xue Xin, the troops were divided into two routes, except for the wounded and sick, Xue Xin took some people to go first, and ambushed in the direction where the reinforcements might come, leaving only Lingyun Eight Cavalry and thirty soldiers.
Such a small number of troops made Ha Ying a little uneasy, but he still forced himself to suppress his doubts and asked softly: "Village master, did you say that someone would come?" ”
Wu Yan walked to the side of the city wall, patted the arrow stack gently, looked over the field, and cast it into the sky, "It should come, wait for three days, and if there is no one in three days, let's leave." ”
Ha Ying cautiously approached Wu Gan's side, "My lord, can we stop each other with such a few people, it is useless to send a few people evenly to each city gate, besides, there is such a long city wall." ”
Wu Yan smiled, turned his head and patted Ha Ying's shoulder, "Why do you have to divide troops to guard each city gate, we are not guarding the city." You might as well treat the city as a mountain, and the four gates are the valley, so we just want to take advantage of this location to kill and hurt the opponent as much as possible.
The focus of this battle is the east and west gates, and I will guard the west gate, and the focus of your eight horsemen is to assist others in guarding the east gate, which is the passage for us to retreat. In case of discord, leave through the east gate. Also, we have some supplies left in the city that need to be shipped out of the city.
If the enemy is attacking the city in an all-round way, it is enough to send people to the north and south gates at the right time to shake it, and if it is really impossible to fight, abandon the city and cover the withdrawal of the brothers at the east gate. If the enemy is stationed outside the city, I will be the vanguard, and you Lingyun Eight Cavalry will charge with me, cooperate with Xue Xin, and take the enemy's camp. There may be a lot of opponents coming this time, but I can be afraid. ”
Ha Ying's face turned a little red, "Village master, what are you afraid of." You sit firmly at the head of the city and watch us charge. Isn't it just a few small families, we have even beaten the people of the Five Realms, and we are still afraid of them. ”
Wu Yan raised his head and laughed when he heard this, Ling Yun Baqi shook Juan hard last time, which really impressed him. It is precisely because of this strength that Wu Gen has the confidence to fight his opponent in Zhanliu City. And the fewer people, the easier it is to move, and the easier it is to get out of the battlefield.
Seeing that Wu Yan was in a good mood, Ha Ying's eyes rolled, "Owner of the village, we have few people, do you want to set up some straw men on the city wall, put on clothes, and scare the other party." ”
Wu Yan nodded Ha Ying's forehead, "Have you read too much of the script, you don't want to think about it, the straw man is high and deep, and the other party can't see the movement in the city."
Our small city, it is clear at a glance from a distance, wouldn't it be timidity to put a straw man. By the way, let's get rid of the noisy merchants in the city, there are few people in our city, so we must prevent people in the city from taking the opportunity to make trouble. ”
"Don't worry, the owner of the village is relieved, those few people have been beaten and thrown out of the city, and a few people have taken the lead in committing the murder, so that Commander Xue will be beheaded, plus as long as you pay food, you can leave the city, half of the people are gone, and there are not many people left in the city."
"Okay, these two days have been harder. Didn't Suoji catch an eagle and come back, let him let the eagle go out for more spins in the past two days, and it would be better to know if there was an enemy. Wu Gan commanded, turned around and walked to the city tower, "When you're done, call a few of them to come over, and I'll invite you to eat noodles." ”
Two days later, Wu Gen was counting ants on the Xicheng Tower, and when he counted one thousand seven hundred and ninety-one, an eagle fell from the sky and stopped on Suo Ji's shoulder.
One person and one bird muttered for a long time, and Suo Jixing rushed over, "My lord, someone is here." ”
Wu Yan raised his head blankly, and didn't react for a while, "What kind of person." ”
In the past two days, Wu Gen has gradually become tired from the initial expectation, and now he is numb, in fact, he no longer has any hope for Hulan Fuyan to send people to hunt him down, and so early the next morning, Wu Gen is ready to take people out of Zhanliu City.
"There are a lot of cavalry, but I don't know which one." Suoji was a little surprised by Wu Gan's reaction.
Smack, Wu Yan slapped the wall violently, with an angry face, "What are these people doing to eat, they have been grinding for so long." ”
Suo Ji smiled when he heard this, "My lord, according to what you said earlier, the Hulan family is the Hulan family, but Hulan Fuyan is just himself. You also know that the shepherds are different from the Beizhou where the adults are located, although these small families are under the leadership of the Hulan family, they still have a certain degree of autonomy after all. In fact, the small families are more attached to the Hulan family than to sell their lives to them. ”
Wu Yan was slightly stunned, and suddenly smiled, "Yes, Hulan Fuyan's identity is a little embarrassing, and it is already these small families who can bring people to give face, no wonder they have delayed for so long, and they must test each other to discuss the conditions." ”
Suo Ji didn't laugh anymore, and Zhengse reminded, "But adults must not despise each other, I guess it's the Cheng family who came this time, although these small families don't have to sell their lives for Hulan Fuyan, but they still need to be able to get by." And we robbed other people's cities, and we can't say that we will fight to the death. ”
Wu Gen looked at the birds flying rapidly in the sky in the distance, and sneered: "Then knock it, I just want to let these people know that my dreadnought army is not easy to mess with, if they are still willing to take the chestnut in the fire of Hulan Fuyan, then they must be prepared to break their heads and bleed." ”
Turning his head suddenly, Wu Yan stared at Suo Ji, "According to your estimate, how many men will the other party send." ”
Suo Ji's eyes couldn't help but roll, and after thinking about it, he replied: "The Cheng family is just a thousand households, and the number of troops in their hands is on the surface, and it is estimated that they will not send more than thirty percent of the troops, that is, about four hundred people." No matter how much, the Cheng family really gave Hulan a face. ”
"Okay, in this kind of small-scale battle, the combat power of the soldiers is very important." Wu Yan said as he walked down the city tower, "When the enemy comes, you and I will guard the west gate." The rest are at the east gate, guarding our retreat. If there is a chance, urgently summon Lingyun Eight Cavalry, waiting for the opportunity to go out of the city to attack. ”
When the sun was setting in the west, on the field west of the city of Lampyu, a group of cavalry came, and among them was a flag with a large character on it. These people surrounded a young man in white armor in the middle, huhula and rushed towards the city of Streamers.
When the cavalry was still five hundred paces away from the city of Lenliu, they slowed down their horses and fanned around. Wu Gen stood at the head of the city, holding a pergola and looking at his opponent, with only Suo Ji by his side.
"Three hundred and sixty, my lord." Sogi stared at the cavalry in the distance and reported a number, "I saw that Cheng Jie, he really went to report the news." It's just that the Cheng family is still a little stingy, and there are not many people who send it. ”
Wu Gan poked his head out of the battlement and carefully looked at the cavalry opposite. Sure enough, Cheng Jie was mixed in with these cavalrymen, without armor on his body, and carrying a huge long axe in his hand. Among the black cavalry, it looks very conspicuous.
Of course, the most conspicuous thing is Hulan Fuyan in the middle of the team, he is wearing a white armor today, and he is accompanied by a middle-aged man next to him, and he points to Zhanliu City with a relaxed expression. Such a demeanor is not like coming to war, but as if he has come here with a group of followers.
After looking at it for a long time, Wu Yan turned his head and asked, "Your methods may make the other party's horse lose control." ”
Suo Ji understood Wu Gan's intentions, and said with a wry smile: "My lord, my beast control technique is a magical power brought by my mother's womb, and it is okay to bewitch insects and ants, like this kind of tamed horses, especially war horses, at most they can control a few, but if they have more, they can't do it." It was only after a slow training that I was able to command so many horses. ”
"Oh." Wu Yan frowned, thinking about how to deal with these cavalry.
At this moment, the cavalry on the opposite side began to move forward slowly, pressing in the direction of the city of Lampoo. When he had reached more than 100 steps, he restranded the horse under him again.
Hulan Fuyan looked at the city, couldn't help but look a little puzzled, whispered a few words to the middle-aged man beside him, and shouted loudly at the city tower: "Wu Gan, it's really you, but you still recognize me." ”
"Eh, isn't this the son of Lan Yan, when you and I met on the riverside, we felt sorry for each other, and we felt sorry for each other at first sight, I didn't want you to say goodbye, I really wanted to be a brother." Wu Yan stepped on the battlement with one foot and shouted at the other side, "Lan Yan, I heard that you also have the name of a vertical fence, when you traveled with you that day, the foolish brother was overwhelmed by the sound of your flute, and I don't know if you still have a flute after parting." ”
"Wu Gan, you don't come here, since you know my name, how can you not know my origin." Hulan Fuyan's face was a little annoyed, and he pointed at Wu Yan at the head of the city with a horsewhip, "I was taken advantage of by you when I was drunk that day, how can I bear such humiliation." Wu Gan, acquaintance, quickly abandon your weapons and surrender, I can spare your life. ”
When Wu Yan heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand at the head of the city, "Lan Yan, don't talk nonsense, you and I are innocent." ”
Hulan Fuyan was stunned, knowing that his words were easy to be ambiguous, Wu Gan's secret poking and probing words made others look at him, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Wu Gan, don't take advantage of your tongue." That being the case, today's affairs will not be good.
You can see clearly, Cheng Liang Cheng Zhenfu led the soldiers here, how can your few bandits be the enemy, when the city is taken, I will treat you well. Speaking of which, your people won't be scared to flee because they saw the soldiers and horses coming. ”
After staying in Kuntianzhou for a long time, Wu Jian now knows that no matter how big or small the family is, there will be a town to be appeased, and if the head of the family is unable to lead the army, the town will mostly lead the army. The Cheng family sent a calmer out, which can be regarded as giving Hulan a face.
"Yes, they are all gone, only me and an entourage are here, you have the ability to arrest me." Wu Yan smiled and pointed to the city gate, and hooked his finger at the other party.
Seeing Wu Gan's behavior like this, the people of the Cheng family became a little cautious and talked to each other in a low voice, but they refused to step forward.
Seeing the other party's hesitation, Wu Jian smiled secretly in his heart, and shouted at Cheng Jie: "Cheng Jie, I still have to thank you for this incident, I deceived so many people to come here." In this way, my military resources will finally be lost. ”
Cheng Jie's face was red and white for a while, and he wanted to defend himself, but after looking at the suspicious eyes of the people around him, he had to sigh and bow his head silently.
After discussing with Hulan Fuyan for a long time, Cheng Liang urged the horse to take more than a dozen steps forward, "Tailless thief, don't make a fool of yourself here, you take my Zhanliu City, rob the people under my rule, the crime is unforgivable."
I already know that you don't have many people under you, and if you surrender, you can't be able to save your life. If we resist stubbornly, our army and horses will die without a place to be buried. ”
Wu Gen sighed and complained to Suo Ji beside him: "If you don't want to fight in Kuntianzhou, you have to come to the scolding battle to warm up first." ”
Reaching out to take off the Heaven-Shaking Bow, Wu Yan pulled the string violently, and a thick white arrow appeared, with a line of gold hidden in the middle. With a slight release of the hand, the arrow whistled out.
A long turbulent stream appeared from the head of the city, pointing directly at Cheng Liang, who was in front of the team and was still shouting loudly.
What is this, Cheng Liang suddenly shuddered, and the hairs all over his body exploded, feeling that the next moment, he would die. Recklessly, he rolled off his horse, only to hear a strong wind blowing beside him, and his horse had turned into a cloud of blood mist.
Behind the red blood mist, an arrow rushed into his ranks. Everywhere they passed, before they could even shout, seven or eight of their men and horses turned into a flying piece of flesh and blood.
Some people died, but not completely......
