The situation is always unpredictable.
Not long after the eldest prince's messenger left Changsha, Xu Lang's 10,000 light cavalry arrived at the northern suburbs of Changsha County.
And because they had been resisting Ling Yue's attack with all their strength, the defense in the northern suburbs was really weak. Although there were several royal flags on the city top, there were only a few hundred people patrolling back and forth.
"General, according to this estimate, the garrison in the north of the city will definitely not exceed five thousand!"
After setting up camp, a general who accompanied Xu Lang to investigate the enemy's situation made a confident judgment.
"That should be the case, but wait and see what the response is from General Ling! If everything goes well, when Shen Shi passes, we will send out all three armies. On the other side, General Ling will launch a full-scale attack. Changsha County will take a few days. , it will definitely be broken!"
Xu Lang nodded. After fighting for so many times, he became more and more confident.
…
Time passed by minute by minute.
Suddenly, the news from General Ling Yue did not come as promised. However, Xu Lang decided not to wait any longer.
"General Li, everything is going according to plan. When I give the signal at the top of the city, you must quickly lead your brothers to the city."
At this time, Xu Lang was already dressed as a beggar, and behind him were dozens of subordinates also dressed as beggars, all of whom had been in the martial arts world.
Obviously, he wanted to sneak into the city and stage a clever trick to get through.
"I humbly obey my orders!"
The general accepted the order, but his face looked worried.
"It's just that, General, you shoulder the weight of an army. Really, you have to be careful!"
In his words, there was concern for Xu Lang's life and death. How can any coach be so reckless about his life and death? Last time, it was really dangerous to break into General Yuezhou's mansion at night!
"Haha, it doesn't matter. This general's life is very tough, and ordinary people can't accept it!"
Xu Lang knew his good intentions and patted his shoulder with a smile.
"It's really hard to do anything, so just find an opportunity to send a signal. In this small town, our thousands of iron cavalry will definitely be able to tread flatly!"
The general still comforted him, you know, if something happened to Xu Lang, he would not be able to bear the consequences.
"Okay! Let's go!"
Xu Lang waved his hand proudly, picked up a dog beating stick, and walked out first.
When it comes to playing beggar, Xu Lang still has talent. Back then, I followed Fang Zui from the capital and traveled south, pretending to be a beggar for a long time. Later, I met Zheng Baye again, and I already fully understood the subtleties of being a beggar.
You see, he is wearing a felt hat with several holes in it, and the clothes on his body are also dirty. The dog beating stick is stained with a few pieces of chicken feces, and his handsome black face does not need to be painted. , and took a seat with the beggar.
As soon as he walked forward, the dozens of subordinates also dispersed into groups of two or three, slowly walking towards the city gate.
Of course, just in case, no one had any weapons on them. This is what Cheng said: there are no guns or cannons, the enemy makes them for us. With their skills, it would not be difficult to steal the weapons of a few ordinary soldiers with bare hands.
The sun, especially since it's so high up, isn't too hot, and it's extremely comfortable when it hits your body.
"You're a stinker, you're already at war, why are you running around!"
As soon as Xu Lang arrived at the gate of the city, the soldiers guarding the city cursed him.
"Hahahaha!"
Xu Lang deliberately pretended to be stupid, smiled naively, and took a step closer to him.
Like him, to be honest, these sergeants have to see several of them every day. Now that a fierce battle is going on ahead, their northern suburban city is actually the most leisurely place. So, it’s not surprising at all.
Seeing Xu Lang approaching with a stinking smell, the sergeant slapped him with the back of his knife.
