Chapter 248: The Momentum of the Encirclement
In the middle of the day, the blazing sun made the Hun soldiers outside the city listless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Captain Zuo wiped the sweat from his forehead, still waiting for that 'little doll' to go out of the city and fight him to the death.
His lieutenant couldn't stand it first, "General, that little doll wants to fool us and others, and doesn't really want to fight us to the death."
Captain Zuo thought for a while, "There is indeed this possibility, the Han people are cunning, and if they want to empty me, they are equal to the city."
The adjutant general looked at the listless appearance of the army behind him, and couldn't help but start worrying, "General, or we should withdraw one after another, lest the Han army come out of this gate and hit us by surprise."
Lieutenant Zuo felt that his words were reasonable, so he waved his hand and signaled the troops to retreat, and when the troops heard the retreat, there was a commotion, because the weather was too hot, and everyone was very moved when they heard that they could leave here temporarily.
The commotion of the Hun army naturally could not escape the eyes of the coalition troops hiding on the city tower, and at this moment Gao Zhong was also resting on the city tower, and the guards reported that "General Yu Zhonglang, the Huns seem to have signs of evacuation"
Gao Zhong didn't open his eyes wide, but said in disappointment, "I can't hold it back just like this, but I definitely can't let them leave so chicly, I ordered people to beat the drums, but only the drums can be beaten, and the other brothers continue to stick to their respective posts."
The guards took the order. Not long after, above the city tower, there was a sudden sound of drums.
The rumbling drums will naturally reach the ears of the Huns under the city tower, and the Huns, who are already not strong in war, will immediately turn back in fright when they hear the war drums of the Han people. And Captain Zuo immediately raised his weapon, turned his horse's head and shouted, "Meet the enemy, meet the enemy."
The Huns, who had hastily taken up the formation, looked at the north gate facing them, but after a while, the drumming stopped, but the gate did not move, and there was no intention of opening it.
Captain Zuo was amazed, and then thought that the Han army was deliberately teasing him, so he raised the scimitar in his hand and shouted to the city tower, "The turtle with a shrunken head above, dare to come out to fight?
The city was quiet for a while, and then Gao Zhong poked his head out and said, "Captain Zuo, right? Didn't General Ben Zhonglang promise you to fight to the death with you under the city? It's just that I didn't say the time, what are you anxious about?"
Lieutenant Zuo was furious, didn't Gao Zhong clearly entertain and tease him? "The time is uncertain, if you are about a year later, then won't I have to fight you again in a year?
Gao Pet waved his hand, and a rain of arrows shot down and said, "Then make an appointment, how about today?"
Captain Zuo waved his hand, "Okay, even today, I will not attack the city, and I will fight to the death with you in the city."
Gao Pet shouted, "Captain Zuo is so angry, okay, Captain Zuo is waiting!"
Captain Zuo shouted, "Okay, I'll wait here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Pet disappeared without a trace from the city.
Lieutenant Zuo was still laughing under the city, thinking that he had really scolded Gao Chong, and the deputy general on the side had a sad face, "Captain Zuo, he said today, but he didn't say that it was morning, or evening, whether it was a decisive battle with you immediately, or for a while"
Captain Zuo reacted "Yes, why did you forget?"
I was about to ask, but suddenly the drums sounded loudly in the city, and Captain Zuo looked at the adjutant general with a proud face and shouted, "Meet the enemy, meet the enemy"
The original loose formation of the Huns was once again neatly formed, but ...... The gates of the city were still not opened, but instead the heralds at the head of the city shouted to them in surprise, "The general orders the troops", and then the head of the city fell silent.
"Adjutant general, point soldiers, point soldiers, and Captain Zuo, this ......" The adjutant general looked helpless, this Han army was clearly trying to entertain them, and there was no compassion.
Lieutenant Zuo was also helpless, but he looked away, "Adjutant General, where can we retreat now? Retreat to Shule and build engineering weapons? We can wait, can our brothers wait? We will wait first, wait until dusk, if they don't go out of the city, we will find a forest, build siege weapons overnight, and secretly send warriors who are good at climbing, climb over the wall, and open the city gate." ā
After a while, the drums beat loudly, and this time, it was shouted "General, general", and of course, the gates were still not opened.
However, the Huns were still not used to it, and as soon as they heard the sound of drums, they immediately assembled, but they also couldn't wait for anything.
After a while, the drums beat loudly, and this time, it was shouted "The general is in armor", of course, since it is armor, and it is not out of the city, the city gate will naturally not open.
This time, the Huns gathered in a thin and loose manner, but they took it for granted that they could not wait for anything, so their attitude was very casual. Of course, their idea did come true.
Fourth, fifth, every quarter of an hour, drums, no more, no less, just the right time. It's about to become the timekeeper in the ears of the Huns. Even Captain Zuo couldn't bear this terrible sun, and began to rest on the side, the lord will be like this, and the subordinates below will naturally go up and down.
And all of this is in the eyes of Gao Pet, he just silently let his troops begin to assemble secretly, and his subordinates heard that Gao Pet asked them to assemble, so they immediately ran out in a puff of smoke, and soon, under the north gate, Gao Pet's elite troops were assembled. And inside the west gate and east gate, two troops were also assembled, the difference is that after the assembly of these two troops was completed, they quietly went out of Peishan City. Only those at the north gate are still waiting.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and this time the drums were thundering on the castle tower as always, and the door was still not open if it was not on the side. Captain Zuo squinted, "This little doll is interesting"
Suddenly, there was a commotion behind the camp, and Captain Zuo said nonchalantly, "What's the noise, hasn't the Han army left the city yet?"
After a while, a herald ran "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" and ran all the way to Captain Zuo's side.
Captain Zuo was also incredulous: "Is it the Han army?"
The herald shook his head, "No, Captain Zuo, it's the Blue House people, and the cavalry of the Blue House people suddenly appeared behind us!"
Captain Zuo took down the rag and gave the order, "The rear formation has changed to the front formation, and we will attack immediately, damn the people of the Blue Building! We haven't messed with them yet, but they're here to provoke us!"
Gao Zhong stood on top of the city, and the time had come, so he shouted, "Beat the drum, remind the east and west soldiers and horses to attack immediately, and the defenders of the north gate will immediately shoot, and whoever shoots more bows and arrows within a quarter of an hour will be the first merit."
Under the city gate, Gao Pet turned over and got on his horse, listening to the rumbling war drums, Shaoyuan smiled and said, "Is it finally our turn?"
Gao Zhong smiled and did not answer, but shouted loudly: "Everyone go and teach these Huns who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, and tell them, what is the elite of the Han Dynasty! Open the city gate! Kill with me!"
