Chapter 39: Entering the City
Outside the city of Xiangdu, the commander of the Pingyang Army has a big tent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Smack!"
The water cup in Kong Wenzhao's hand fell to the ground, fell to pieces, and the tea was splashed everywhere.
"What did you say?"
The scout said with some fear: "The 1,000 elite soldiers who went to steal the camp were all wiped out!"
Silence, deathly silence.
"Let's go down!"
After a long time, Kong Wenzhao waved his hand and said a little tiredly.
The scout saluted and hurried out of the tent, only to find his back drenched with sweat.
"How could this be, how could Xiao Qi find the ambush?"
Kong Wenzhao's face was extremely ugly, even if he was scheming, he was usually moody, and now he was a little out of shape.
After all, it was a thousand elite soldiers who could condense their battle spirit.
The Juye Gang used to be only a third-rate sect, and it only owned a few county seats, and it was not easy to gather so many soldiers.
These soldiers are one of the hole cards of the Giant Wild Gang.
But now, these soldiers are all wiped out, and Kong Wenzhao feels that his heart is twitching.
"Your plan, even I thought it would be successful, but I didn't expect it to be discovered by the enemy. ”
At some point, an old man appeared in the tent.
This person's beard is white, but his face is ruddy, full of energy, and he looks like a fairy.
He was like a ghost, appearing silently, but Kong Wenzhao was not surprised at all.
"The disciple has seen the ancestor!"
After seeing the old man, Kong Wenzhao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute respectfully.
"No need to be polite. ”
The old man bowed slightly.
His gray eyebrows wrinkled together, and he said, "Those soldiers are all wiped out, do you still have the confidence to defeat Xiao Qi and then conquer Xiangdu?"
Kong Wenzhao did not rush to answer, but hung his head and thought carefully.
The old man didn't care, his sleeve robe waved slightly, and the crumbs of the teacup that fell to the ground actually condensed again.
"Smack!"
The teacup, which seemed to be in good condition, fell lightly on the table, and the old man found a chair to sit down and took a nap there.
Kong Wenzhao was extremely thoughtful, and he didn't notice the old man's movements at all.
After half an hour, Kong Wenzhao raised his head, but he heard a burst of snoring.
He looked at the old man who was napping in his chair, and then at the teacup that was intact, and there was a look of horror in his eyes.
Kong Wenzhao didn't dare to disturb the old man, and tiptoed to the table, ready to deal with military affairs.
"If you think about it, just sue me. ”
As soon as Kong Wenzhao sat down, he heard the old man's voice, but the old man didn't know when he had woken up.
"Patriarch, the disciple disturbed your old man's rest, and he was terrified. ”
The old man waved his hand and said, "If it weren't for the sect, I would rather stay in the deep mountains and old forests every day and comprehend the natural avenue." ”
"It's just that you juniors, you have to stir up the wind and rain, the sect master has invited me to the back mountain several times, and I don't want to disobey him. ”
"Tell me quickly, if you don't have the confidence to take Xiangdu, if you really can't do it, you can withdraw your troops, I still want to go back to the back mountain to cultivate as soon as possible." ”
Kong Wenzhao took a deep breath and said, "If the patriarch is willing to make a move, it will be easy to win the phase. ”
The old man shook his head and said, "At my level, I must not make a move easily." ”
Kong Wenzhao showed a look of disappointment in his eyes, and then said: "If the ancestor refuses to make a move, he can only ask the senior brother to come out of the mountain to help." ”
The old man's face finally changed.
"Your senior brother is in a special situation, if he participates in this war, although it may affect the outcome of the war, I am afraid that it will also leave hidden dangers. ”
Kong Wenzhao said: "If there is chaos today, my Juye Gang has accumulated savings for many years, and it is the time to take the opportunity to expand." ”
"If you cower now, the development of the sect will definitely be like a boat sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat!"
The old man looked at Kong Wenzhao quietly, and after a long time, he sighed: "Actually, you have excellent qualifications, if you are willing to cultivate carefully, I am afraid that your achievements are not below your senior brother." ”
"It's a pity that you are bound by worldly rights and never get past that step. ”
Although the sect is divided into a country, the top masters in those sects basically don't ask about the world and concentrate on seeking the Tao.
This is also one of the reasons why the major sects and masters are emerging in an endless stream.
If you can't cut off your attachments, you are bound by all kinds of things, and it is very difficult to achieve great things in martial arts.
When Kong Wenzhao heard the old man's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
......
On the official road, Huan often rides a donkey forward.
"General, in front of you is Xindu City, and the city has been surrounded by the Pingyang Legion. ”
"When our army scouts were investigating, they also found many Pingyang army scouts, and the two sides won and lost each other. ”
"When the Pingyang army learned of our arrival, they have assembled and are on guard!"
Huan Chang raised the spear in his hand and shouted: "The army stops, build fortifications, and wait for the follow-up army to arrive!"
Surprisingly, Kong Wenzhao did not take the opportunity to lead troops to raid, and the defensive measures that Huan often sent people to build did not come in handy.
After Xiao Qi led the army over, the two joined forces and killed them towards the north gate of Xiangdu.
Prior to this, Huan Chang had already sent a master over and had a connection with the city lord of Xiangdu.
Xiao Qi led the army to rush over, and the north gate of Xiangdu was immediately opened, and a member of the army led the crowd to respond.
Those Pingyang troops who remained at the north gate were attacked from front to back, and immediately collapsed and fled.
Some Lu generals were ready to take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, but they were stopped by Xiao Qi and ordered the whole army to ignore those routs and enter the city directly.
Huan Chang took the lead and took the lead in entering the city of Xiangdu.
After all the 50,000 troops entered the city, the north gate of Xiangdu was closed again.
"The adults led the army to help, and the lower officials can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"
The city lord of Xiangdu is a man in his forties, with a somewhat fat body, but his eyes are bright.
Xiao Qi stepped forward to return the salute and said, "If it weren't for the city lord blocking the Pingyang army here, the southern gateway of Qufu would have been conquered by the thief army. ”
"Your Excellency also mentioned this matter to me, saying that the adults have contributed a lot. ”
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the city lord suddenly asked: "Fang was on the city wall, and the lower officials saw the rout of the Pingyang army at the north gate, why didn't the lord take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill?"
Xiao Qi shook his head and said: "Although I see that the enemy's formation seems to be chaotic, it has vaguely retreated quite orderly, and there must be fraud here." ”
"What's more, the army is coming quickly, the soldiers are exhausted, and now is not the time to fight the thief army. ”
The city lord of Xiangdu thought for a while, and found that this was indeed the case, so he couldn't help but praise: "Your lord's eyes are like torches, and he is thoughtful, and the lower officials sigh to themselves." ”
"Since the adult is here, then the defense of the phase capital will be handed over to the adult, and the subordinate can also breathe a sigh of relief. ”
Xiao Qi is not humble.
Because the most taboo orders in the battle are different, he will definitely take over the defense of Xiangdu, regardless of whether the city lord of Xiangdu is willing or not.
"The lord of the city is humble, I am not familiar with the phase, and I will have to rely on the lord to defend the enemy army in the future. ”
"After repelling the invading army, I will definitely ask for credit for you. ”
The city lord patted his chest and replied: "Guarding the land is the duty of the officials, and the adults only have to give orders if they have something!"
