Chapter 17: The Surprise Attack is Long

Xie Tong smiled and said, "Brother Xian's guess is good, Xie Tong is Xie Yang."

Huo Zixin said, "Aren't you dead?"

Xie Tong said, "You kid is jumping around, why do you want to die!"

Huo Zixin suddenly opened his mind and said, "Little brother understands, brother's plan to cultivate the plank road and secretly Chen Cang is really exquisite, and he has deceived everyone in the world, hey, I should have guessed it a long time ago." ”

Yi Wudaunt said, "Where are you two kids, where is it stinky and beautiful, when is it, the military situation is urgent, and it seems like a good way." ”

Xie Tong collected his heart and said, "Little brother can trust Zi Xin, since the news of the enemy has not been transmitted, our army is still safe for the time being, but I can't guarantee that this spy has no follow-up moves, Zi Xin, who else knows the news of the interception of the flying pigeon!"

Huo Zixin said: "Is Lao Tzu an idiot? How can such important information be so casually promoted. ”

Xie Tong said, "Then we will plan and arrest this traitor first." ”

The two of them said in unison, "What's the idea?"

Xie Tong said in a foolish manner: "Look, okay! Zixin, you return to the team immediately and get ready to capture the carrier pigeons!"

Huo Zixin left in a daze, and muttered uncontrollably, "Lao Tzu has only been lying down for a while." ”

Xie Tong said to Yi Wudaunting, "Big brother, I have almost rested, and the order is to go down, our army will hold an emergency meeting and order all the generals to hold a meeting here." ”

Yi Wudaunt said lazily, "Why don't you go!"

Xie Tong smiled and said, "Lao Tzu is a commander, have you ever seen a commander go to be a herald?"

Yi Wuxing scolded with a smile, "You Lao Tzu, don't talk about the commander, after taking the Great Wall of Heaven." See if Lao Tzu doesn't beat you", he said. The herald went.

All the generals gathered in front of Xie Tong.

Xie Tong said, "Sit down!"

The crowd sat down.

Xie Tong continued: "Our army galloped all night, and many generals did not know the purpose of our army's march. Now General Ben will study with you. At present, the general got the news that the garrison of Yangzhou City was only 20,000, and the army was all transferred to the front line of Yingzhou and the Great Wall of Heaven, which was the opportunity for internal emptiness. I don't know what you think about breaking the city." As he spoke, he secretly observed the reactions of the generals.

After hearing this, all the generals were dumbfounded, only Yi Wuxing was secretly funny, this Xie Tong was indeed clever enough, and played the trick of throwing stones to ask for directions, but I don't know if this traitor will be fooled.

Everyone was shocked by Xie Tong's words, the surprise attack on Yangzhou was an idea that Wang Daoxun had put forward in the army before, but it was vetoed by King Ye, just when everyone was looking forward to attacking the Great Wall of Heaven three days later. Wang Daoxun played such a game, and it turned out that King Ye was just attacking the west.

Yi Wudauntless said, "General Xie, I wonder if this empty thing inside Yangzhou City is true?"

Xie Tong was amused when he saw Yi fearless cooperating with him in acting. "Of course it's true, I don't know what Commander Yi thinks!"

Yi Wudaunt said, "Yi can't talk about high opinions, but I just think that since it is a surprise attack." It should be a quick battle, and the enemy should be unprepared. Take advantage of the night to take Yangzhou. Yi believed that the march should be accelerated, and there were still more than 300 miles away from Yangzhou. If it is fast, you can reach the periphery of Yangzhou City at noon the day after tomorrow, and attack the city at night."

Xie Tong nodded and said, "Do the others have any opinions?"

The crowd shook their heads.

Xie Tong said, "Since there is no other opinion, set off immediately and go!"

The army set off again, Yi Wudaunt sat on horseback, and whispered to Xie Tong, "Your plan is enough to be damaged, so it is strange not to deceive the group of Kexu Cheng." ”

Xie Tong said: "Big brother's words are wrong, if you allow Ke Xu Cheng to install a traitor in our army, you won't allow Lao Tzu to plan it? Not to mention whether the spy can be fooled is still unknown."

Yi Wudauntless said, "If you catch the spy, what do you plan to do with it?"

Xie Tong said, "Don't alarm him first, this person is of great use to us, with his help, we can use him to make our articles."

Yi Wudaunt said, "You seem to be stupid, Ke Xu Cheng has been fooled once, he will definitely know that we are using his spies, is it so difficult that you can't take precautions?"

Xie Tong said, "This is called true and false, and false is true, Lao Tzu is playing with fiction and reality, so that this old fox can't figure out Lao Tzu's routine, big brother, you can watch a good show! When you break at dusk, this spy will definitely release carrier pigeons again."

They both burst out laughing at the same time.

At dusk, Xie Tong once again announced that he would rest for three hours, this place was only thirty miles away from the Great Wall of Heaven, and if he accelerated his march, he could reach the Great Wall of Heaven in one hour.

Xie Tong and Yi Wudauntless discussed, and Huo Zixin only stared at all the pigeons, and asked him not to intercept the pigeons. And Xie Tong and Yi Wuxing found an open place to drink.

Xie Tong took a big sip of wine and said, "Big brother, little brother plans to attack the city after night tomorrow." ”

Yi Wudauntless said, "Why not tonight? This place is very close to the enemy, isn't my brother afraid of being discovered by the enemy?"

Xie Tong said with a smile, "Actually, the little brother is also gambling, if it is a pigeon that flies out tonight, the army will set off immediately after resting, if it is two pigeons that fly out, it will attack the city tomorrow, everything depends on what news comes from Huo Zixin's side!"

Yi Wuxing laughed and scolded, "I'm angry with your brother again! Hey, you kid is eccentric, if anyone is your opponent, he will definitely be turned around by you! Hey, this wine is really good, for some reason, the wine in the army is more delicious than the wine in the city." ”

Xie Tong said, "I drank the same wine, and my eldest brother just felt kind to the life in the army, so he also felt extra good when he drank." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and drank again.

After a while, Huo Zixin ran over, saw the two of them, and scolded with a smile, "Lao Tzu is running around, but you two are drinking here, it's really unfair." After that, he directly dodged Xie Tong's wine bottle and poured two sips directly.

Yi Wuxing smiled, "Don't be in a hurry to drink, hurry up and report the news of the inquiry!"

Huo Zixin poured two sips again and said, "Good wine!

Xie Tong said, "Don't sell it, kid, it's a big matter being discussed here!"

Huo Zixin said seriously, "This commander lived up to General Xie's trust and successfully found the carrier pigeon."

Yi Wudaunt said, "How many carrier pigeons?"

Huo Zixin smiled, "One?"

Yi Wudaunt said: "Little brother is not mistaken?"

Huo Zixin deliberately pretended to be displeased, and said, "Brother Yi, is this an ethereal technique that looks down on the younger brother? The younger brother will tell you now, there is a hole ten zhang behind you, and there is a snake in the hole, which is eating mice!"

Xie Tong used his spiritual sense, and sure enough, he also sensed this.

Yi Wuxing didn't believe it, he stood up, walked behind him, and walked back after a while, this time he was really convinced, which made Xie Tong and the others laugh.

Yi Wudaunt said, "There is really this kind of martial arts in the world, hey, Lao Tzu's cultivation is not enough, you two boys don't have to laugh, what's the use of this, don't accept and Lao Tzu have two tricks." ”

Xie Tong and the others laughed even harder.

After laughing for a while, Xie Tong put away his smiling face and said, "Two hours have passed, and now you can order the army to set off and go to the Great Wall of Heaven immediately."

Huo Zixin said: "There is still important news for General Xie to tell!"

Xie Tong scolded with a smile, "Don't show off, hurry up and say it!"

Huo Zixin said, "The younger brother used the ethereal technique, not only mastered the movement of the carrier pigeon, but also discovered the owner of the carrier pigeon!"

Xie Tong said, "Who is this person?"

Huo Zixin said, "It's a thousand-commander of the forward battalion, his name is Li Gong! He thought that God had released carrier pigeons unknowingly, how could he hide Lao Tzu's ethereal technique!"

Yi Wudaunt exclaimed, "It's actually him!"

Xie Tong asked, "Could it be that Big Brother is very familiar with him?"

Yi Wuxing said slowly, "It's not familiar to talk about it, this person was brought by Xue Yue, and he has been on a steady journey since he entered the forward battalion, and soon he will be the commander of the thousand! If Xue Yue doesn't leave, it is very likely that he will replace Xue Yue in the position of the battalion commander!"

Huo Zixin said, "How to deal with it, kill him!"

Xie Tong said, "Let's keep it for the time being! This time he did us a great favor, and he will be planning after capturing the Great Wall of Heaven!"

The army set off slowly, but this time there was no rapid march, because it was too close to the enemy, Xie Tong ordered all the cavalry to dismount and become all infantry, and all the horses were left ten miles away from the city.

When we were three miles away from the Great Wall of Heaven, it was already midnight. The Great Wall is about two battles high, and the city wall is made of bricks and soil, although there is no moat, it is still easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The flickering lights flickered on the city wall, and there were rows of soldiers, although it was midnight, they were still very energetic, and stood guard on the city wall without moving.

Xie Tong said, "Brother Fearless led the two battalions to attack, and the ladder siege vehicle or something is ready!"

Yi Wudaunt said, "The ladder is okay, the sound of the siege vehicle is very loud, and it may alarm the defenders on the city wall!"

Xie Tong said, "It doesn't matter, since it is at this moment, presumably the enemy's preparation is not very thorough, since the siege enemy will know sooner or later, as long as Brother Fearless can break through the city gate, the remaining street battles will not be a problem, and notify the whole army, before the drum is not sounded or the enemy does not find out, do not shout to kill!"

Yi Wuxing was just about to set off, Huo Zixin suddenly said, "Big brother, the spies are coming to report, there is a large camp ten miles east of the Great Wall of Heaven, and there are about 10,000 people and horses. ”

Xie Tong was taken aback, the person guarding the Great Wall on this day was not an ordinary general, just looking at such a troop arrangement, he knew that he had already prepared a response. This army of 10,000 people and the Great Wall of Heaven can respond to each other, and it is indeed very powerful.

Xie Tong pondered for a moment, and said, "Zixin, you lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to give me a sneak attack on the camp outside the city, bring enough torches, remember that it is just a feint to prevent fire, and you must not contact the enemy army to fight", he immediately said to Yi Wudaunt, "Big brother, I will give you three battalions of soldiers and horses, be sure to fight quickly, Duan Yuanjing will lead the Tongzi battalion to be responsible for the back, and I will lead the rest of the soldiers and horses to adapt to the situation." The whole army set out at once. ”

Under the cover of night, Yi Wudaugh led three battalions of men and horses to slowly approach the city wall, less than a mile away from the city wall, and the rumble of siege engines had already been heard. (To be continued.) )
