Quietly out of town

"We can't take care of these now, the marshal just won't let us go out of the city, so we can only wait, wait for the enemy's siege engines to arrive, and then find countermeasures." Li Guang said.

Chi Zhongtian lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then suddenly said: "In this way, you take me up, and I will go up to the city tower to have a look, but don't make a noise, understand?"

"Understood, General Chi, you come with me. ”

After speaking, Li Guang walked in front, and Chi Zhongtian and Ye Luo followed behind him, and when they walked to the steps this time, those officers and soldiers saw Chi Zhongtian and they were following Li Guang, so they didn't say anything more.

After arriving at the castle tower, Chi Zhongtian saw that all around him were people who were running non-stop, including officers and soldiers, and young men dressed in people's clothes, some of them were carrying stones, and some were setting up iron pots.

Li Guang quietly tugged at Chi Zhongtian's sleeve, and then pointed in one direction with his hand.

Chi Zhongtian followed his hand and looked forward, only to see that at the front of the city tower, a tall man in armor was looking into the distance.

"That's General Lu. Li Guang whispered.

Chi Zhongtian nodded quietly and motioned for Li Guang to leave first, so as not to be suspicious when they were seen together.

Li Guang smiled knowingly, and then went to find Lu Gui.

"General Lu, the marshal still ordered that you are not allowed to go out of the city. ”

"What! The marshal doesn't know the current military situation?"

"I know, I know very well, but in a word, if you dare to open the door to fight, you will be in the head immediately!"

"Oh! This is really a rush to death, Lao Li, let me tell you the truth, just now I received another military information, it was our spies who risked their lives to investigate, the enemy army has now passed the military order, and today swear to break through Lijiang City!"

"General Lu, this can't be! It's not about this battle."

"General Li! Don't talk nonsense if you shouldn't say it!"

"Yes, yes, you see I'm also a little confused, by the way, then you can think of a way!"

"There is a way, give me 3,000 soldiers and horses, I promise to let them lose their armor within an hour, and I can smash all the siege vehicles for him!"

"Isn't it the same as if you didn't say it? The big marshal said, you are not allowed to go out of the city!"

"You are not allowed to go out of the city, then what else can I do! Look at the siege engine, you can see it, it will only be half an hour at most in front of the city gate, and the two wings of the enemy army have been outflanked here, I am afraid that if we let them approach, we may be in big trouble. ”

"General Lu, don't worry too much, those people are all a rabble, and they can't become any climate!"

"General Li, you are also a veteran, the battlefield is a taboo for soldiers, you don't need me to teach you, the rabble? The rabble can suddenly pop out of thousands of people? Will the rabble know how to use siege vehicles?"

"Alas, General Lu, don't worry, the top priority now is to find a way to deal with the enemy army without leaving the city. ”

"Okay, okay, I know, you let me think about it, you go and reply to the marshal in a while, just let him stay in the barracks at ease, and promise not to disturb him!"

This conversation between Lu Gui and Li Guang was listened to by Chi Zhongtian, who was standing nearby, and nothing was missed.

Lu Gui's method is actually very feasible, take the initiative to attack, and it will definitely succeed, but Chi Zhongtian doesn't understand, why didn't King Qing let him out of the city?

If he had this right, he would definitely let the sergeant go out of the city to face the battle, but unfortunately, he was only ordered to investigate the matter, and he had no right to interfere with the military order.

After Li Guang finished talking to Lu Gui, he first glanced at Chi Zhongtian, and then turned around and walked down.

Chi Zhongtian slowly walked to the front of the city tower, and then looked around, in front of him was a plain, unobstructed, a few miles away, sure enough, there were several huge things slowly moving towards here, obviously siege vehicles.

It's just that although the siege vehicle is obvious, it doesn't find many enemy troops, and although it can't be seen clearly, it feels like there won't be more than a few hundred people.

Is there an ambush? This inference is reasonable, but where is the ambush?

If there is no ambush, these individuals will not be able to take it in a while.

Just when Chi Zhongtian began to ponder in his heart, there were suddenly many more black spots in the distance.

If you look closely, there are black spots, and they are all people, and these people seem to have come on foot, not on horseback, so they have not raised a large amount of dust.

Lu Gui obviously also found out, and quickly watched for a while, and then immediately shouted loudly: "All the troops have obeyed the order, the enemy army has appeared, prepare for battle, and the archers will gather in the city tower immediately!"

With an order, a commotion began on the castle tower again, and many archers hurriedly walked up from below, and then stood at the front of the castle tower, while Chi Zhongtian and Ye Luo took a few steps behind in a playful manner.

At this moment, Chi Zhongtian suddenly thought of a way, he dragged Ye Luo, and then quietly took him to the corner of the city tower.

The gate of Lijiang Castle is built against an earthen mountain, so next to this corner, there is a mountain wall.

Chi Zhongtian glanced down, and then said to Ye Luo: "Let's go down from here, and then go to the front to have a look, how about it?"

Hearing this, Ye Luo looked forward, and then said, "It's feasible, but don't go, owner, I'll just go by myself." ”

"Then what's the matter, let's go together, but there's nothing to hide in front of here, I'm afraid that someone will find out. Chi Zhongtian said with a little worry.

Ye Luo smiled slightly, then pointed to the side and said, "We can pass over the mountain wall, and then slide down in the distance, we will definitely find cover." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Chi Zhongtian also felt that it was feasible, so he said, "Then how can we come back?"

"It's easy to come back, if we can find out some false words, we don't have to hide it when we come back, just the height of this city gatehouse, I believe that for the owner, it should be effortless." ”

As soon as Ye Luo said this, Chi Zhongtian smiled, really, the height of this city tower is at most more than ten zhang, and it is too easy for him to climb up.

After making up their minds, Chi Zhongtian and Ye Luo took advantage of the chaos of the people around them, quietly jumped and jumped directly to the mountain wall next to them, and then the two of them quickly slapped the mountain wall with their palms, and soon disappeared.

After swimming along the mountain wall for a while, Chi Zhongtian looked to the side, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, just below the mountain wall, and at this moment, a pile of weeds appeared.

The two of them looked at each other, then jumped down at the same time and landed in the grass.
