Chapter Ninety-Six: Qingfeng Shakes the Sheath
Nai Tingwu, Qin Zhuofeng, and Jiang Xian pretended to escort Shen Peng's caravan away, and tossed for half an hour, and then they braved the wind and snow and left the Yuan army's cavalry camp.
Shen Peng was far away from the camp, and he couldn't help but shiver a little because of the biting cold wind, turned his head to look at the group of bitter guys, the snow on his head was getting bigger and bigger, he smiled bitterly, and said to Qin Zhuofeng beside him: "Old man, if you go in this weather, I'm afraid that before dawn, we will all freeze and die." ”
Qin Zhuofeng glared at him and whispered: "As soon as the blue jade army arrives, the jade will be burned, and you love to die here, but you can also let you." ”
When Shen Peng heard that Lan Yu was about to storm Gyeongju, he was so frightened that his face turned blue and his lips turned white.
Qin Zhuofeng looked up at the snowflakes in the sky that were getting bigger and bigger, and knew that what Shen Peng said was also the truth, so he immediately ordered: "You lead the team to find a shelter from the wind, set up a tent, and make plans again when the sky is bright, remember not to light any candles, so as not to chase and kill the Yuan army." With that, he stretched out his hand and led two military horses that had pretended to be the Yuan army and came to give orders outside the city, and left the team, galloping away in the direction of due south, the direction of the blue jade army.
After a stick of incense, Zhu Quan and Xu Ying had already come to a dark corner not far from the north gate. In front of the north gate were four soldiers, and the heavy gate was closed, and it was firmly locked with extremely thick chains and huge locks. Obviously, after the assassination and others falsely passed the military order, they had already left the city, and they were all relieved.
Seeing that everything was going well, Zhu Quan couldn't help but laugh, and said softly: I'm afraid that without the military order from the underworld, it will be difficult for the gatekeeper to open the door and lock it. Do you have hairpins or something? ”
Xu Ying took out a hosta in her arms and handed it to Zhu Quan.
Zhu Quan took his hand and quietly hid in the shadows of the root of the city wall, approaching a few feet away from the north gate.
Xu Ying picked up a tile on the ground, raised her hand and flew out, hitting the door frame of a house in the distance, and suddenly made a loud noise.
The four Yuan soldiers guarding the gate were burdened with heavy responsibilities, and when they heard the sudden movement in the quiet night, they didn't dare to slack off, they all drew out their scimitars and ran towards the sound to check. .com
Seeing the Yuan army leaving, Zhu Quan no longer hesitated, ran to the locked place of the gate, lifted the hosta and thrust it into the huge lock, and then folded, leaving the front part of the hosta in the keyhole, and quietly ran back to Xu Ying's hideout, hiding his figure.
After a while, the four soldiers guarding the gate of the Yuan army walked back with a curse in their mouths, and seeing that the gate was still locked and there was nothing abnormal, they immediately sat by the campfire and drank and gambled on the dice.
Zhu Quan and Xu Ying saw that this matter was done, so they went up to the roof again and sneaked back towards the south gate.
Qin Zhuofeng changed to two military horses, galloping in the wind and snow, seeing that the cold wind was howling, the snow was falling heavier and heavier, and he couldn't help but feel mixed feelings and sorrows, and said: "Such a big wind and snow, less than ten zhang as far as the eye can see, it is easy to cover the army to approach Gyeongju, but under such a cold, there are still 20,000 foot soldiers under Lan Yu's command, and the marching speed is bound to slow down, I am afraid that I may not be able to arrive before the Yuan army finds out that the main general is dead."
At this time, in the camp of the Ming army, the candles were still bright. Lan Yu, who was dressed in armor, listened to the wind and snow howling outside, and said worriedly: Counting the time, Shen Peng's caravan should have arrived in Gyeongju, and there is still no news until this time, I don't know if there is any danger. I heard the sound of footsteps in my ears, and turned my head to look, but saw a young general walking into the tent while shaking off the snow on his body, it was the deputy general Wang Bi.
Lan Yu looked at the snow falling on Wang Bi's body, and couldn't help but sink in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "Have the things been distributed?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Bi hurriedly bowed down and said: "In accordance with the general's order, all the gunpowder, fire oil, and spirits in the camp have been placed in bamboo tubes, and all knights carry three bamboo tubes, and each foot soldier has a tube of spirits. As he spoke, he was worried about the safety of Zhu Quan, King of Ning. It turned out that after he got the order of the blue jade general, he knew that Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, had already followed the caravan to Gyeongju, intending to assassinate the chief general who guarded Gyeongju, Ping Zhangguolai.
Lan Yu nodded, turned around, and was about to speak, but he heard a report from a soldier outside the tent, Qin Zhuofeng came back and hurried out of the tent. East! Square! Net .com
Qin Zhuofeng turned over and dismounted, stretched out his hand to brush away the snow on his body, and walked towards Lan Yu.
Outside the tent, the north wind howled, and the goose feathers and snow fell one after another.
Lan Yu couldn't help but sigh when she saw such bad weather.
Qin Zhuofeng came to Lan Yu's side, stared at him with both eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Ping Zhang Guolai has already died at the hands of the old man, and Quan Er and they have already locked the north gate where the Yuan cavalry camped, and it is estimated that the Yuan army will not be aware until dawn." General Lan was asked to send troops to Gyeongju immediately. He knew that this apprentice was tricky and eccentric, and he was not worried about him trying to find a way to lock the north gate unconsciously.
When Lan Yu heard that the commander of the Yuan army had died, his eyes flashed, and he said solemnly: "Please come in and tell me about the situation in Gyeongju." ”
Qin Zhuofeng walked into the tent, took out the long sword on Wang Bi's waist, and drew it on the ground, while drawing, while detailing the details of the cavalry of the Yuan army seen in Gyeongju during the day, the approximate number of foot soldiers, and the location of the camp. He knew that Lan Yu's greatest concern at this time was the strength of the Yuan army in Gyeongju and the deployment of defenses, and he skipped nothing about the assassination of Guolai and the rescue of Naijiu.
Wang Bi heard that the Yuan army had more than 50,000 troops in Gyeongju, so he couldn't help but secretly gasp, and said softly: "Our army is less than 30,000, and there are still 20,000 foot soldiers. ”
After listening to Qin Zhuofeng's words, Lan Yu's face did not change, he took out his long sword, pointed to the box that Qin Zhuofeng drew on the ground to indicate Gyeongju City, and asked in a low voice: "As the old man said, although the Yuan army of Gyeongju City did not know that the Lord would die at this time, after all, there were more than 30,000 soldiers, and the city was full of residential houses, if I led 10,000 cavalry to rush in, where would there be room for turnaround?" 10,000 cavalry in the narrow city, fighting with the Yuan army's foot soldiers, how to exert it? ”
When Wang Bi heard Lan Yu say this, his eyelids jumped, and he wondered: Do you really only lead 10,000 cavalry to fight the 50,000 yuan army backed by the fortified city? Crazy?
Qin Zhuofeng had been in the army for a long time in the past, and knew that although the cavalry had an advantage in fighting against foot soldiers, they also needed to be in an open area, and after pondering for a while, he said while gesturing with a long sword: "At this time, more than half of the houses in Gyeongju City have been demolished by Guolai to build the city wall. ”
Lan Yu couldn't help but show joy when she heard this, walked to the outside of the handsome tent, looked at the goose feather snow flying in the sky, it still didn't stop falling, frowned again, and said to Qin Zhuofeng on his side: "At this time, the snow is falling, and it is already difficult to distinguish the direction outside the three zhang, if you are a little careless, the person who leads the team deviates a little, I am afraid that it will be difficult to reach Gyeongju." It turned out that when the three of them were discussing in the tent, the weather became worse and worse unconsciously.
Qin Zhuofeng heard him tell the truth, and he was also anxious in his heart, but he was helpless. It turns out that the army marches to identify the direction, which is not difficult during the day, and at night under the clear starry sky, it can also rely on the direction of the stars to discern the direction, but in this cloudy, no starlight, snowy night, it is indeed very easy to get lost. If the blue jade army deviated from the direction and froze to death in the ice and snow, it was very possible.
Lan Yu sighed and said: "I could have used the Sinan car to discern the direction, but at this moment, the soldiers are very fast, and the 10,000 cavalry must arrive in Gyeongju before dawn. ”
Several people were anxious, and the neighing of horses suddenly sounded in their ears, it was Qin Zhuofeng who rode to report the news, those two military horses taken from the Yuan army. It turned out that these two military horses were owned by the guards under Ping Zhangguolai, and they were deeply loved by the original owner, and they were even resentful of Qin Zhuofeng along the way, but they just gave him strong means to subdue him, and it was difficult to resist.
Lan Yu glanced at the two military horses, suddenly showed joy, and asked in a deep voice: "Senior, these two horses were taken from the hands of the Gyeongju Yuan Army?" After seeing Qin Zhuofeng nodding, he no longer hesitated, and said in a deep voice to Wang Bi and the two Chinese army Sima on his side: "Immediately pass this general's order, all the sergeants in the battalion will leave the camp immediately, I will lead 10,000 cavalry to set off first, General Wang will lead all the foot soldiers, abandon the baggage, only bring weapons and spirits to keep out the cold, and follow our cavalry to attack Gyeongju at night." Speaking of this, he turned his head to Qin Zhuofeng and said: "Please seniors still ride a Northern Yuan military horse, hold a torch, let go of the reins, let it run on its own, and guide our army to attack Gyeongju directly." Another military horse, left with 20,000 foot soldiers to General Wang to lead the way. Speaking of this, he stared at Wang Bi with a slight pause and continued: "Immediately release three carrier pigeons and send a message to Marshal Feng Sheng of Tongzhou, saying that my Lanyu has taken Gyeongju, and ask him to quickly dispatch reinforcements for reinforcements." ”
When Wang Bi heard him say this, his face turned pale, and he asked hesitantly: "Before the army set off, I released such a message to take Gyeongju, and it is an unforgivable capital crime to lie about the military situation, please think twice." He knew that the army had not yet set off at this time, Lan Yu was going to fly a pigeon to send a message, asking the commander Feng Sheng to send reinforcements to help, he had already committed the crime of lying about the military situation without credit, if he was lucky enough to take Gyeongju, as long as the reinforcements arrived, Lan Yu had not yet occupied Gyeongju, Feng Sheng could engage in military law, and treat Lan Yu a capital crime.
Lan Yu waved the whip in his hand, and said angrily with frost on his face: "The two armies are fighting, and the opportunity is fleeting, how can you be fully sure?" If Marshal Feng Sheng is questioned by military law, Lan will bear it, and General Wang will have nothing to do with it. ”
Qin Zhuofeng was overjoyed when he heard this. Wang Bi received the order, but he was apprehensive, and wondered: Could it be that the lives of my 30,000 troops could not be given to two animals like this. Recalling that at this time, Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, was still trapped in the place where the Yuan army of Gyeongju was strongholding, sighed, turned around and rode his horse to the battalions to dispatch soldiers.
Nearly 30,000 soldiers under Lan Yu's command were already in a state of preparation, and it only took half an hour to complete the assembly of the camp.
Qin Zhuofeng held a huge burning butter torch, rode his horse to Lan Yu's side, nodded, let go of the reins, waved his horsewhip and struck the back of the horse twice, and ran out.
Lan Yu held a torch, and the three-foot Qingfeng sheathed out, and gave an order.
A long dragon-like cavalry team of the Ming army, armed with torches, followed him mightily and rushed into the vast wind and snow.
