The next day, with heavy rain and drums blaring loudly, the sound was as loud as thunder. The Fifth Battalion of the Anqin Army and the Shangyong Army launched a feint attack on Nanzheng City in the rain in accordance with their pre-rehearsed rehearsal.
"Arrow formation ready!"
"Arrow formation ready!"
The fast horses of the messengers broke through the rain and galloped between the gaps in the Anqin army's formations outside the city. After receiving the military order, the crossbowmen in each building stepped forward with their bows and arrows on standby...
"Crossbowmen come forward."
"Fire the arrow!"
The arrow feathers of the Anqin army poured down on the small city of Nanzheng along with the rain all over the sky. Without the support of kerosene, the Qin army could only push the rolling logs and stones to block the attack of the Anqin army.
"attack!"
When the drums of attack sounded from the front of the phalanx, the vanguard troops had already launched their first probing attack towards Nanzheng City.
"Brother Lu, is it too much for us to fight like this? General Zhang clearly ordered us to pretend to attack Nanzheng. If this continues, we may not be able to afford the losses!" Xu Song, the captain of the right battalion, looked at the soldiers who kept rushing to the front and said with a smile. Worry.
Lu Min shook his head and pointed his riding crop at the north gate of Nanzheng: "Did you see it?"
Xu Song followed Lu Min's expectations and saw that the city was gradually crowded, and the Qin army's flags also increased. He suddenly realized: "Brother Lu is saying that we will create a great momentum to attract the defenders of the other three gates to come to support and relieve the rest of the battalions." pressure?"
"That's right! In order to prepare for the Qin Army's reinforcements from the Yangping Pass direction, we can only make the Qin Army think that our north gate is the main attack direction, and by the way, test the Qin Army's combat power." Lu Ming held up his helmet: "Hear this Mao Xing is familiar with military books and is proficient in military strategies. I want to see if he is an embroidered pillow like Zhao Kuo in his time."
"Furthermore, General Zhang is going to investigate the status of the Yangping Pass guard. The greater the momentum we can build here, the safer he will be there."
Lu Min knew that this man who came from Shangyong was not only a general of the Xiaoqi Army, but also the sworn brother of Xu Zongwen, the general who conquered the North.
Xu Song suddenly realized that his restless heart was finally not disturbed by the noise of the heavy rain and gradually calmed down.
"In that case, everything will be subject to Brother Lu's arrangements."
"Thank you, brother, for your trust."
Lu Min and Xu Song had never been reused in the Qin army. When they were ordered to capture Hanzhong, they both knew that this was a rare opportunity, so they went out of their way to attack Hanzhong.
Xu Song was good at marching and setting up formations, good at training and selecting soldiers, and showing kindness to his subordinates, but he neglected military law, so he was very popular in the army.
Lu Ming was different. He was born in Luzuo. Although he was the son of Wengguo Shengxu, he had great ambitions since he was a child. Lu Ming followed Han Xin of the Han Dynasty as an example, hoping that one day he could meet the Ming Dynasty master and show off his talents!
Therefore, the laws and regulations in Lu Ming's army were strict and the soldiers were self-disciplined. Lv Ming shared the military achievements with all the soldiers, so the soldiers respected him very much.
The other battalions of the Anqin Army heard about Lu Min's reputation and admired him very much, let alone the sergeants of Xu Song's right battalion.
"Brothers, please take turns to have a meal after noon, beat drums and shout, but don't attack the city."
"promise!"
"promise!"
…
Outside Yangping Pass, a group of fast horses came galloping from the east. After passing the official road, the group of about ten people began to sneak into the forest path.
"General, if you go any further, you will be discovered by the Qin army's sentry cavalry! It's too dangerous!" the accompanying bodyguard reminded Zhang Gui, who was still moving forward.
Winter is approaching, the grass is withering, and the forest is filled with a sense of solemnity. Zhang Gui dismounts his horse and steps on the easily broken branches to secretly observe the nearby Yangping Pass.
Zhang Gui handed the reins to the guard. He stared at Yangping Pass without blinking, "Have you found out who the guard of Yangping Pass is?"
"Returning to the general, it was originally General Yang Ding who took over temporarily. Now Fu Tongcheng, King of Yingchuan of the Qin State, is responsible for guarding the pass. It is reported that he just left Nanzheng yesterday and took office." Sun Yi, the chief of the personal guard, finished setting up the guard and followed closely.
"It seems that Mao Xing asked him to come."
"So what? We, the Jin Dynasty, are following the destiny of heaven and driving out the barbarians. If the ugly little country dares to use a mantis as a chariot, our army will turn them into powder!"
Unlike Zhuge Kan and Zheng Lue, Zhang Gui knew that he was not good at literature and ink, and was short of long-term strategy. He was the current Amen under Wu, so he did not select brave warriors who came from the martial arts competition. Instead, he promoted a group of literate people from his own bodyguard. People with the word "Zi" serve as his left and right, and Sun Yi is one of them.
"Well said!" A gleam flashed in Zhang Guihu's eyes. He stretched out his hand. Sun Yi immediately turned sideways with quick eyes and hands. Zhang Guihu put his big hand on Sun Yi's right shoulder and patted her, "As expected of a scholarly family. Born, I use words that even I don’t understand when cursing people.”
Sun Yi rolled his eyes and lowered his head: "If the general does not personally promote him, how can a villain have the opportunity to get close to the general and serve him?"
"Yes." Zhang Gui turned around and nodded with satisfaction: "I have been happy with my grudges all my life. It is very good that you know how to repay kindness."
"It is a small man's honor to serve the general!"
"Then there is something that requires you to take action right now. I wonder if you would be willing to share my worries?"
The corners of Zhang Gui's mouth rose, and his hand was still on Sun Yi's shoulder, without moving even an inch.
Sun Yi raised his head slightly, and he immediately saw the light reflected by Zhang Gui's sharp gaze, so he immediately lowered his head again, feeling the increase in strength on his shoulders. Sun Yi's throat moved: "I wonder if the general has What orders?"
"I want you to go to the city to incite rebellion against Yang Ding. You tell him that no matter what method he uses, as long as he can capture Fu Tongcheng and surrender Yangping Pass, I will recommend to the general that he be given the title of Duke, and all the cities in Hanzhong will be included." Let him choose the city."
"Remember! No matter life or death, we must capture Fu Tongcheng!"
Zhang Gui repeatedly emphasized that Yang Ding could surrender to the Jin army only if he captured Fu Tongcheng.
Sun Yi's breathing became more and more rapid. Such a major matter was related to one's family and life. If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent person. The difficulty is extraordinary!
I don’t know why Zhang Gui is so confident, as if this matter will definitely happen.
This also gave Sun Yi the illusion that there was great potential for this matter!
You must know that the Knight Cavalry Army is world-famous and has never been defeated. If you can use the military power of the Knight Cavalry Army and the name of General Zhengbei to persuade Yang Ding to return to the city with a smooth tongue, it will be a great achievement!
"If this happens, I will send a letter to the general's palace to celebrate your success. If there is an opportunity, your name will be in the eyes of the general. Are you afraid that you will not have a good future in the future?"
"I heard that the shogunate of General Zhengbei is recruiting talents. If you are selected, it will be a lot better than staying under my tent as a small personal guard."
Zhang Gui made promises to Sun Yi one after another, from asking for merit to recommending to the shogunate. How could Sun Yi resist this temptation?
"The villain is willing to go!"
"That's right!" Zhang Gui let go of his hand, "He who knows the current affairs is a hero. Wealth and honor can be found in danger. How can you know whether you can succeed if you don't give it a try?"
Sun Yi straightened up and arched her head towards Zhang Gui: "Thank you, general, for giving me the opportunity to make a name for myself. I will definitely live up to the general's trust!"
"Without any further delay, time waits for you. You will enter the city as soon as it gets dark."
"I still have some coins with me, and I will give them to you as well as those from my brothers. After buying off the city gate guards..." Zhang Gui handed over all the coins from the accompanying guards to Sun Yi, and at the same time handed over his seal of General Jianwei. Gave it to him.
"No!" Sun Yi's eyes flashed with a strange light, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart at the moment.
