Chapter 329: A Plan in a Plan
Liu Changle was blindsided by this sudden accident. Mo said that he didn't react, and even the soldiers who followed him didn't react.
Seeing that Li Xianzhong's sword was about to hit Liu Changle's neck, a long sword suddenly stretched out from the sideways and gently picked Li Xianzhong's sword away.
Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be one of the ten people behind Li Xianzhong, who intervened in time to save Liu Changle's life.
This sudden accident surprised everyone again. And among them, the most surprised person is Li Xianzhong.
He was able to make sure of it. This sword, which has no warning of its own, will surely be able to achieve merit in one fell swoop. Then he can take his brother to open the city gate and welcome Huang Yudie into the city.
However, he never expected that he would kill Cheng Cheng Jin halfway and stop this most critical sword. Seeing that this sword failed to kill Liu Changle, Li Xianzhong immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. There are people around Liu Changle, and if he misses a blow, it will be difficult to have a second chance.
Thinking of this, Li Xianzhong once again launched a strong attack on Liu Changle. Because he knows that every second he delays now, his chances of success are one percent less.
However, the person who had just made the move had already stopped in front of Liu Changle, and the soldiers also reacted at this time and stopped the men brought by Li Xianzhong. At the same time, when the guards at the head of the city saw that their lord was assassinated, they all rushed to the city.
Li Xianzhong fought hard with that man for more than ten moves, but he still couldn't help him. At this time, Liu Changle had already been surrounded by a group of subordinates and left his effective attack range.
Li Xianzhong only gritted his teeth with hatred. "Who are you? Why are you mixed up with my people? ”
The man opposite listened to Li Xianzhong's questioning and gently lifted the hat on his head.
"Yu Ren!"
Li Xianzhong never expected that the person he wanted to kill in every possible way would always be by his side, and he didn't know it at all.
"Surrender! Thinking of the love you led the troops to help, I can spare you from dying. Yu Ren said lightly. Li Xianzhong's long sword has long been a threat in front of him.
Li Xianzhong laughed loudly, and the laughter was full of depression and sadness.
"Yu Ren, who do you think you are? If you want me to die, I have to die, and if you want me to live, I have to live? I won't let you get your wish! ”
After speaking, Li Xianzhong grabbed a war horse and rushed towards the city gate.
When the archers in the city saw that Li Xianzhong was about to flee, they raised their bows one after another.
Yu Ren waved at them. "Forget it! Let him go! ”
Liu Changle hurriedly waved his hand to his subordinates. The archers heard the order, so they didn't release the arrows.
When the guards at the gate heard that Yu Ren said that they wanted to let Li Xianzhong go, they also took the initiative to open the city gate and put down the drawbridge in time.
Li Xianzhong rushed to the city gate, swung his sword at a soldier who opened the door for him, and slashed at it. Before the soldier could open all the city gates, he was struck in the back by Li Xianzhong's sword and fell to the ground.
When the archers in the city saw Li Xianzhong like this, they were angry, and some people wanted to shoot him with bows again.
"No arrows!" This time, it was Liu Changle who took the initiative to give the order.
Li Xianzhong beat his horse and rushed out of Taizhou City.
No one stopped him anymore, and no one fired arrows.
Seeing Li Xianzhong's figure gradually disappear, Liu Changle ordered someone to close the city gate again, and then came to Yu Ren's face.
"Thank you, General Yu, for saving your life."
Yu Ren put away his sword, "Liu Shoubei is polite." It was only by chance that I learned about this, so I pretended to be their accomplice and followed them into the city. ”
When Liu Changle heard this, he solemnly saluted Yu Ren again, "Thank you General Yu for letting Li Xianzhong go, so that I won't be infamous for revenge!" Speaking of this, Liu Changle sighed lightly with a gloomy expression.
Yu Ren gently patted Liu Changle's shoulder. The two climbed to the top of the city side by side, looking at Li Xianzhong who was leaving the city, and slowly disappeared into the night, but the incense smelling disciples outside the city did not react at all. Obviously, Li Xianzhong did not return to Wenxiangjiao, and he probably knew that if the plan failed this time, if he went back, there would be no good fruit to eat.
Seeing the tents of tens of thousands of people outside the city standing quietly, Yu Ren's heart suddenly moved.
Just when the fourth watch was about to pass and it was about to dawn, a fire suddenly ignited in the north of Taizhou City. The fire burned so hard that they could still see clearly even the Topaz Butterfly who was stationed a few miles outside the city.
"Report to the altar master, a signal has been released in the city!" A junior colonel hurried to Huang Yudie's big tent.
Huang Yudie nodded, not at all surprised. "Okay, let Youcai take 2,000 people to lurk by the city gate first, as soon as the city gate is opened and the drawbridge is lowered, he will immediately lead people to rush in. I will lead the army into the city afterwards. ”
The little colonel said yes and turned away. Huang Yudie turned around and looked at Yu Yuqian, who was asleep on the side, and whispered softly, "Senior sister, I still can't hand over Yu Ren to you." Get a good night's sleep! When this awakening comes, everything is over. You'll never see this man again, and hopefully you won't think of him again! ”
After speaking, Huang Yudie gently pulled out her sword and walked away.
Sun Youcai lurked outside the city with 2,000 men. In the darkness of the night, they carried many branches with them as shelter, and although they were very close to the city gate, they did not seem to attract the attention of the defenders of the city. This made Sun Youcai very satisfied.
It didn't take long for the city gate to be opened, and the drawbridge was lowered.
Sun Youcai was overjoyed, he couldn't care about hiding his traces anymore, and rushed to the city with his subordinates. To his surprise, when he rushed into the city, he didn't see Li Xianzhong, who was supposed to appear at the city gate, nor did he see a person else who had entered the city earlier.
But at this time, Sun Youcai didn't have time to think about this problem anymore, anyway, he was killed in the city. It doesn't matter anymore that Li Xianzhong is not there.
Thinking of this, Sun Youcai no longer hesitated, and rushed towards the city with his subordinates. He divided his men into two teams, one team aimed directly at the general's mansion to take advantage of the chaos to kill Liu Changle, who might still be asleep, while he himself personally led people to storm the city. He had to take the city in the shortest possible time to reduce the casualties of the bow and arrow to the followers.
As long as they can capture the city, this Taizhou city will be theirs.
However, Sun Youcai soon discovered that something seemed to be wrong. These soldiers guarding the city did not look unprepared at all, let alone panicked. They were surprisingly numerous, and bows and arrows were one after another. This made Sun Youcai lose hundreds of brothers before he could get close to the root of the wall.
Looking at the corpses of his brothers lying on the ground, Sun Youcai was puzzled. "What the hell is going on here? In the end, did the enemy fall for us, or did we fall for the enemy's plan? ”
Before he could think about it, there was another accident outside the city, and the drawbridge was suddenly blown in two by two huge explosions and fell into the moat.
Only then did Sun Youcai realize the seriousness of the problem. He yelled, "Not good! "I was about to give the order to retreat, but I saw another team suddenly enter at the city gate. Then they took the gates and soon closed them.
Sun Youcai slapped his thigh in annoyance, "I've been tricked!" Evacuate! ”
When his brothers saw this, they all knew that they had stepped into a trap set by others, and they all wanted to run out of the city.
However, the gates were now firmly guarded, and a large number of archers were constantly firing arrows at them. If you want to kill it, it's not easy to say.
"Li Xianzhong, I'll fuck your ancestor!" Only then did Sun Youcai think of Li Xianzhong. However, where to find Li Xianzhong at this time. What's more, it's too late now, even if Li Xianzhong is found, it can't save their fate of being wiped out.
Sun Youcai scolded while holding a knife and desperately rushed towards the city gate. There were fewer and fewer brothers behind him, and when he rushed to the city gate, he suddenly found that there was no one around him, and he was left alone.
At this moment, a person suddenly flashed by the door.
"Brother Sun, when this time comes, aren't you still enlightened? What is good about Xu Hongru, he will only be jealous of the virtuous. Since the day you Wenxiang Sect started its army, your original Jinan faction has always contributed the most. But what was the result? What did Xu Hongru do when he ascended the throne, and rewarded and promoted many people. But how many of them are sent by you in Jinan?
Not only that, but he is on the lookout for you at every turn. What does it mean to let you send troops to charge him into battle, but leave your boss Liu Ziming behind?
Obviously, I don't trust you, and I want to keep Liu Ziming as a hostage!
With this, nothing good will come of it. A talent like Brother Sun, where are you afraid that you won't be able to find a bite to eat? Why do you have to follow Xu Hongru, this old boy!
If you surrender, how about I guarantee you to be a guerrilla general? ”
