Zhao Yulong knew that he was brave and never overly modest, but his views on military strategy were far inferior to those of Qin Feng. This expedition to Nanping County was a good opportunity for him to learn and hone his skills.
"Brother Qin, there is already civil strife in the city, why not take the opportunity to send troops and attack them unprepared?"
Qin Feng sat on the horse, holding the reins, looking at the heads moving on the city wall, and couldn't help but chuckled: "What's the rush? Let the bullets fly for a while."
"Bullet? What is that?" Zhao Yulong's eyes revealed a 'strong desire for knowledge'.
Realizing that he had made a mistake, Qin Feng simply changed his words without explaining: "Let the arrow fly for a while."
Zhao Yulong still didn't understand the deep meaning of Qin Feng's words, but looking at Qin Feng's calm and calm look, he knew that it was not the time to attack the city yet, so he stopped talking and just waited quietly.
The people who were confused were not only Zhao Yulong, but also the generals of the riding department who were present were also confused.
In the past, Qin Feng established his power with an iron fist and dispatched a large army of chariots and cavalry troops to the city in order to attack Pingnan County. Why is he not in a hurry now?
Just when everyone was confused, another drama arranged by Qin Feng last night was staged again.
I saw two black knights, escorting a man dressed as a noble man, walking straight to the city gate.
One black knight grabbed the man's collar by the back of his neck, while another black knight held a short knife and shouted angrily: "The bold traitor dares to have a secret affair with Beidi. He will not be punished!"
The man was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder burst. He shouted loudly: "Master, spare your life. I was also ordered by Huang Cheng. Huang Cheng said that as long as I help him communicate with Beidi, he will give me a thousand taels of gold to level Nan County." The whole city is destroyed in exchange for Sang Qian’s army conquering Beixi County.”
Black Cavalry Tiger's eyes widened: "Fart! Huang Cheng is in the city, doesn't he even care about his own life and death?"
The man's face turned pale, his whole body was trembling, and he wailed helplessly: "Even if I lend you a hundred courages, I would never dare to deceive the military master. Huang Cheng's wife and children have already moved to Beidi. The king of Beidi promised his family no It is reasonable and reasonable to exchange all the glory and wealth for Huang Cheng's life in exchange for the family's glory."
The black knight then shouted and asked: "What should the more than 10,000 defenders in the city do?"
The man cried: "The life and death of those mud-legged people is irrelevant. They are all stepping stones for the Huang family to ascend to heaven. If you don't believe it, wait until the city is broken to arrest Huang Cheng and question him. If he tells a lie, five thunderbolts will be struck from heaven." .”
Black Cavalry grabbed the man's hair and pulled it up: "Okay! When we capture the city and capture Huang Cheng alive, we will definitely let you two confront each other!"
After saying that, the two black riders got on their horses and dragged the man away with a rope. In an instant, it seemed as if the entire Pingnan County was echoing with the man's hysterical screams.
Once they were out of sight of the city's defenders, the two black knights yanked on the reins, quickly stopped, dismounted, and helped the dusty man up.
"Brother, how are you?"
The middle-aged man's body was covered with misunderstandings mixed with blood and dust, but he waved his hand heroically: "It's just a small injury, what's the big deal? If we can complete the master's plan, not to mention this little flesh injury, even if his head is chopped off, It’s no more than a scar as big as the mouth of a bowl!”
Not long after, a war horse came here carrying heavy armor. The man dressed neatly and returned to camp with two other black riders.
After learning about Qin Feng's ruse, Jing Qianying couldn't help but ridicule: "Isn't it a little too fake?"
Qin Feng had a bad smile on his face, and bad water was pouring out of his stomach: "So what if it's fake? Now the city has become a mess. Rumors are everywhere. Who can tell the truth from the lies? As long as Huang Cheng betrays his subordinate Yaofeng Blow it up, and the rest has nothing to do with us.”
The guards who were lying on the wall and witnessed the entire passage looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
"Aren't the general's family members all in the city? When did they go to Beidi?"
"I don't know, but one thing is for sure. The general did have contact with the wealthy family's retainers."
The old man sitting next to him, holding a big sword in his arms, sneered: "It's just a tactic to attack the heart, don't panic! If the traitor is really caught, he will be executed on the spot, or taken to a prison to extract a confession by words and deeds. How can he be sent to the city to show off? ? It’s obviously a cruel trick to mess up the morale of our troops.”
After hearing the old man's analysis, several guards nearby nodded: "That makes sense!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a scream came from the wall not far away.
Immediately afterwards, seven or eight defenders, with blood splattered on their faces, rushed over angrily, carrying the heads of the defenders' generals.
The leader of the defenders, who was carrying the human head, gnashed his teeth and said, "The stupid Huang Cheng betrayed us for the sake of the glory of his clan! We have rebelled once, so what's the point of rebelling again? Brothers, rush into the county government office and chop down Huang Cheng’s dog head!”
There were hundreds of guards who witnessed this ruse. As long as a few people believed in the ruse, it would spread like a plague.
Most of the defenders present were already extremely shaken in morale. When they saw someone taking the lead in rebellion, they all responded.
Some even shouted loudly: "There was a rumor earlier that the defenders outside the city are not like iron barrels. There is a gap in the south gate, but there are supervisors guarding it. We killed the supervisors, escaped from the gap, and escaped." also!"
"You're right! It's really not worth working for Huang Cheng's bully! We promised to capture the county seat and then we can rise to the top. Either we can have Zhao'an in the capital and be promoted to a higher position, or we can encroach on the state capital, strengthen ourselves, and advance and retreat. Orderly. What’s the result? I turned around and was surrounded by the army!”
"Huang Cheng's words are unbelievable!"
More and more defenders came to the scene to join the mutiny.
At this moment, the veteran who had seen through Qin Feng's "treacherous plot" actually stood up and waved his sword: "Kill the supervisor and chop off Huang Cheng's head!"
Seeing the confused expressions on the faces of the young defenders next to him, the old soldier was very tactful and shouted coldly: "Why are you standing still? The trend has become irreversible. We can only have a chance of survival by complying with the trend."
The young defender just woke up from a dream. Believe it or not, Huang Cheng was not important at all. Survival was important. For a time, almost all the defenders guarding the city wall rebelled and turned against him, spreading like a virus into the city.
The Jinyi guards who were guarding the city could not help but sneer when they heard the loud killing sounds in the city and the voices of crying fathers and mothers, and turned to report back to Qin Feng.
Two hours later, the first group of troops came out from the south city gate and ran towards the south.
This scene meant that the supervisors would either defect or be killed.
It is impossible to defend the city. Only by escaping south can there be a chance of survival.
This rebel army of eight hundred people only ran less than twenty miles before being completely wiped out by the Black Cavalry and Tianji Battalions who were ambushing around them.
The entire battle took less than a stick of incense and was almost a one-sided massacre.
Xu Mo kept pulling out the arrows from the corpse and stuffing them back into his quiver. He couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "They are all civilians who have not received military training..."
"How could this ragtag group of people capture Pingnan County? Haha, no wonder Brother Qin said that after the city is broken, everyone above the government officials will be killed, and there will be no unjust, false, or wrongful convictions."
