Chapter Fifty-Five: The City of Fire Bull Presents Trojan Horse
Another day and night passed, and Meng Biao did not lead the Tang army to attack the team of the Fire Bull Tribe.
Now it is 150 kilometers away from Los Angeles City, and the distance traveled in one day and one night is not as good as the distance traveled in half a day before.
Meng Biao made up his mind to go back and train the soldiers of the Sanzi Battalion well, because they were not well trained, they had already dragged the army back.
Don't ask them to be elite, just ask them not to become the enemy's weakness to defeat them.
The spies reported: "A small city has appeared ahead. ”
Another spy came and reported: "The remnants of the defeated army, which numbered less than 2,000 men, have entered the city." ”
"The town is boxy, and the walls of the earthen ramparts are about four meters high. The surrounding two kilometers are open space. ”
Meng Biao ordered the whole army to hide in the forest and discuss the methods of battle with the military commander.
"They now have 2,000 people in the city, plus the original defenders of the city are about 1,000 people, and all the combined forces should be less than 3,000 men."
"It's okay if we take it by force, but in the face of a city with 3,000 defenders, our damage will be not small."
Tomahawk thought for a moment: "I can take the soldiers of the Sanzi Battalion to disguise themselves as reinforcements to support the city, and enter the city as an internal response." ”
"We changed our animal skin clothes, we used wooden spears, and we already lived in the forest, and they wouldn't have found out."
"But how can we make this matter logical is a problem, and the reinforcements that suddenly appear will make them suspicious, right?"
Wang Ping thought for a moment: "That commander will definitely not say that we only have less than 2,000 people when he goes back, they will definitely say that we have a large number of people, so that we can be exempted from punishment." ”
"We took the opportunity to wave our flags and shout at the edge of the forest, so that there were a lot of people, so that their chieftain would panic and send people out for help."
"We took the opportunity to cut off the people who asked for help, and then it was logical."
"Then the Tomahawk will prepare to enter the city in disguise with the soldiers of the Scattered Word Battalion, and the rest of the people will wave their flags and shout a bluff."
As Wang Ping expected, the commander who fled back had a handful of snot and tears, crying about the tragedy of the battle.
"We had already climbed to the top of the city, but there were too many people on the opposite side, and the garrison of more than 10,000 people couldn't defeat it at all."
"They sent troops to hunt us down, eight thousand!"
"We were chased all the way and all the way away."
"It's a good thing I set a trap to stop them, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to escape!"
"But we also have gains in this battle, I will kill at least 4,000 of them!"
The chief's beard, which sat on the stone seat of the council chamber, was almost crooked.
The 1,000 members of the alliance of the affiliated tribes of the previous Raven Belt were all lost.
This time, the commander led a tribal coalition of 5,000 people, and only returned less than 2,000 people.
Now there were only a thousand defenders left in the city.
Of the 7,000 warriors put together by the Fire Bull Tribe and the surrounding tribes, there are less than 3,000 left today.
Fifteen hundred people in the headquarters of the fire ox, and fifteen hundred people in the rest of the subordinate tribes.
How do you account for yourself to other tribes that are attached to you?
"Nonsense! According to intelligence, their troops could not exceed two thousand at most, how did you kill four thousand? ”
"I've worked hard for the tribe all my life, and now I'm not trusted."
The commander sat down on the ground and began to sprinkle.
At this time, there was a report from the warriors that there were armor soldiers in the forest in the distance, and there were quite a few of them.
The chief of the fire ox hurried up to the city wall to check the situation.
The forest in the distance was crowded with people, and even if you were two kilometers away, you could see the dense chess pieces on the opposite side.
The chief looked at the forest without stopping, and now he also believed in the fact that there were eight thousand people on the other side.
So he hurriedly sent a few warriors out from the other end to ask for reinforcements, and there were several large tribes within a hundred kilometers around, and he was willing to pay enough to ask them for support. At least two days back and forth, I must hold on to it.
And the tomahawks were already waiting for them on the other side of the city with the scattered word battalion.
The warriors of the Fire Ox tribe hurried into the forest, and before they could take a few steps, they were stopped.
"Stop, who are you?"
There were a lot of heads popping up in the surrounding grass.
The warrior immediately panicked: "Fire Bull City is besieged, I am going to ask for support, who are you?" ”
"Where are you going for support?"
"Nearby Yanyang, Ikezawa, Ironwood. Who are you? ”
"Ao, in this way, I was sent by Chi Ze to expedition to Tang."
The Fire Bull Tribe was like a ghost: "How do you know? ”
"You don't have to worry about this, it's nothing, we'll go first."
The tomahawks were about to leave, and the soldiers of the Loose Word Battalion followed closely.
In the spirit that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is also meat, this warrior wants to trick this group of people into going to Fire Bull City to be cannon fodder.
"Hey, hey, wait a minute, the Tang army you are going to expedition is now outside my Fire Bull City, can you go to Fire Bull City to help us defend the city together? There were at least 8,000 of them, and they were sent to their deaths in vain. ”
Tomahawks almost didn't laugh when they heard this, and the maximum of two thousand people on their side became eight thousand in their mouths.
"What's in it if we pass?"
"Although you have a lot of food in Ikezawa, you don't have sharp weapons, if you can help us, we are willing to give up some of the iron ore, and the spear made of iron ore is extremely sharp."
As he spoke, he danced the spear in his hand.
The tomahawk looked at the spear decorated with iron ore, and couldn't help but feel a little pitiful on the other side, it was normal for him to be looked down upon by the Tang Army before, backward technology, and solidified thinking.
Tomahawk pretended to be contemplative: "I'm thinking about it...."
"Don't think about it anymore, our chief is willing to give the precious gold to you in his personal name."
Tomahawk pretended to be very happy: "Really? Where's the gold? We'll pick it up now! ”
Seeing the expression of the tomahawk, the warrior smiled slightly: It's done!
As everyone knows, the tomahawk is also beautiful: it's done!
The two people with their own ghosts returned to Fire Bull City in this way, and even the Fire Bull Chief was extremely shocked.
He pulled the warrior aside: "How did you come back so quickly?" ”
"Who are they, are they reliable?"
"Chief, he is from the Chize tribe and wants to go on an expedition to Tang, but he was stopped by me."
"I lied to them that I could give them iron ore, and you were willing to give them gold."
"It's just short-sightedness."
The chief was still more suspicious that the other party was a spy sent by the enemy.
So he followed the warriors to meet the tomahawks in the square, and a group of 700 men.
As soon as they met, Tomahawk spoke: "Where is my gold?" ”
The chief looked at the battle axe with a smile: "I will naturally give it to you after the defense of the city." ”
When Tomahawk heard this, he cursed and prepared to leave, but the chief hurriedly grabbed him.
"Don't go, there's gold, here, here."
took out a few pieces of gold from the bag behind him, and cursed in his heart: The defenders of the city must send you to the front, and these are all mine if you die.
Tomahawk pulled out a flag from the bag with a horse painted on it.
"Hang this flag at the head of the city, this is the flag of our team."
The chief hurriedly asked people to hang up, not daring to ask more, for fear of annoying the person on the other side to leave here.
The Ikezawa tribe was the richest and richest of the surrounding tribes, and it was normal for them to be able to get this kind of national flag.
Li Chengzhou, who was in the distance, saw the flag hanging at the head of the city, and understood that it had happened: the Trojan horse entered the city, and the center bloomed.
