"Crazy, crazy..." Yuan Shao panicked. He couldn't command these madmen at all. He was marching northward just now. What happened when he suddenly turned around and headed back?
The key is that he ignored him despite asking. At this time, Yuan Shao was like a helpless child, alone and messy in the wind.
Fortunately, Yan Liang, who knew Yuan Xi, couldn't stand it and came over to inform him. Only then did Yuan Shao realize that the city guard's march north was just a cover, and the real big fish had already fallen into the trap.
"Seriously?" Yuan Shao looked in disbelief. Yan Liang nodded slightly and said: "Don't panic, Mr. Yuan. The master has already made a plan. As long as Brother Yuan is okay, he will be rescued safely. In other words, if Brother Yuan has... we will continue to go north now. There is no point." "Yuan Shao frowned, the truth was this, and he was fully confident that the Huns would not hurt his Tan'er until they got what they wanted, so he was not actually worried about Yuan Tan's safety.
Just like Yan Liang said, even if the worst outcome is that Yuan Tan has been killed by now, there is no point in them continuing to go north.
However, Yuan Shao still couldn't believe that Wei Cheng actually used a trick to lure the snake out of the hole.
If King Zuo Xian is really trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, then he really fell into Wei Cheng's trap at this time! Wonderful, simply miraculous.
Different from the orderly march when they came, the army at this time was like a wild horse running wild, scrambling to be the first to gallop south.
Xu Huang took the lead. The mounts of the Five Hundred Longshan Army were all carefully selected Dawan horses. Even if they weighed several hundred kilograms, they were running as fast as flying. You know, these horses not only eat grass, they also replenish it regularly. flesh.
This horse is named Hu Lei Pi. It not only eats meat, but also likes to drink. It is said that Qin Qiong’s yellow gelding is a descendant of this breed. It was tamed from wild horses. The first generation of Hu Lei Pi was named a mythical beast and could rival jackals and wolves. Tear the tiger and the leopard apart.
Buzz, buzz, buzz... Xun Yu felt the vibration in his arms, his face changed slightly, he raised his head and said to Xu Huang: "General Xu, I have an order from the young master to send five hundred city guards west to Taiyuan to capture them alive. Anyone from the Taiyuan Wang family who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!" Xu Huang was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Why are you involved with the Wang family?" Xun is also puzzled." Xu Huang nodded slightly and said loudly: "Since it is the young master who gave the order, no matter who it is, take it first and then talk about it... Where is Wei Jue?"
"Yes!" Wei Jue stepped out from the crowd. Xu Huang looked back at him and shouted: "Young Master has an order to capture the Taiyuan Wang clan alive. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed. Your eighth team will take the lead in this matter, and the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth teams will cooperate." , there must be no mistake." Wei Jue also looked confused, but he quickly clasped his fists and responded: "Yes." Soon, 500 people from the two thousand city guards were separated from the large army in a [human] shape. , and head to Taiyuan separately.
Yuan Shao, who followed closely behind, frowned and looked curiously at the retreating Wei Jue and his group, wondering what else had happened.
The army moved southward at a rapid pace. After two days of marching, the team had already crossed the border of the Han Dynasty. However, after traveling 800 miles in a hurry, in just one day, they had arrived at a valley about 30 miles away from Anyi.
Xun Yu raised his head and looked at the sky, with a hint of anxiety and expectation flashing in his eyes from time to time. Xu Huang and the others gulped down dry food behind them to replenish their energy for the upcoming battle. Thirty miles away, there was no problem at all with lightning speed. However, before it was time to close the net, news about Wei Cheng It hasn’t come through yet.
"Mr. Xun, let's eat some solid food first." Hao Zhao handed a piece of compressed biscuit to Xun Yu. Xun Yu took the biscuit and thanked him, opened his mouth to take a bite, and said: "If what is expected is true, the Huns should first send elite troops to pretend to be traders and sneak into the inner city. Then the inside and outside should be coordinated, and the city guard might be caught off guard." Hao Zhao Hehe smiled and responded: "Since Mr. Xun said so, I think the Huns will do the same. Unfortunately, their plan will fail, haha." Xun Yu also laughed, he was standing on the side of the Huns. Angle simulated the feasibility of attacking the city. As he expected, pretending to be a merchant and sneaking into the city, and then working together inside and outside, this was the most likely way to break through the city defense.
But Xun Yu couldn't guarantee that his conjecture would come true. After all, the Huns' best siege method was to attack by force, and they were too lazy to use their brains... Anyi.
when! when! when! The tiring day is finally over, and it’s time to serve food in the cafeteria. The civilians and farmers in the satellite city gathered together in twos and threes and walked toward the canteen, talking and laughing.
This is the most anticipated moment of the day. They no longer have to worry about not having food to eat, and they don’t have to worry about filling their stomachs. Even if they only have one meal of meat in three days, such a life of food and clothing is enough to make them full of happiness.
It's just that the cafeteria is strange today. In the past, when meal time was approaching, the aroma of food could be smelled from a distance, but today I had already reached the entrance of the canteen. There was no smell of fireworks at all in the canteen, as if the stove was not turned on today.
At the entrance of the cafeteria, all the stewards of the satellite city came out together. .Everyone looked curious when they saw this. These stewards had never appeared so neatly on weekdays.
Without waiting for everyone to discuss, the leader of the stewards said loudly: "Everyone, from now on, enter the canteen in an orderly manner according to the shop number. Don't mess around, don't talk, and don't panic. The dishes and rice have been prepared, just don't eat on the floor."
"what's the situation?"
"What do you mean by not eating on the ground?"
"Shh, don't talk. If the manager catches you, your performance will be deducted."
"Don't worry so much. How can you hurt us by taking care of things?"
"Haha, Lao Zhang is right, there must be some surprise waiting for us. My second uncle will not harm everyone, just follow the instructions." According to the shop number, waves of people were brought into the canteen. , looking at the empty meal window, everyone looked confused, and then they were taken to the backyard in an orderly manner by the stewards.
"Go in, don't make any noise, don't make trouble, just wait inside and wait for the notice. You will be able to come out soon."
"Sniff, sniff... wow, I can smell the aroma of food. It's coming from this door."
"Yes, I smell it too. It seems to smell like meat, or mutton!" The head steward said, "That's right, we have a whole sheep feast today, and each city has three whole sheep." Hearing this, everyone They were all overjoyed to eat meat once every three days. They just had a meal of chicken yesterday, and they didn't expect to be able to eat meat again today, and it was mutton. There were about 150 people in a city, and an average of 50 people had one. There are already a lot of sheep, and each person can get more than a pound of meat, not counting the water.
"Okay, march in an orderly manner, don't crowd, and don't make any noise." The leader of the stewards emphasized again. Everyone shut their mouths when they heard this, and they could do whatever they wanted if they had meat to eat.
Soon, under the leadership of the stewards, the originally crowded canteen became empty in an instant. Not to mention the canteen, not a single person could be seen in the entire satellite city.
After arranging everyone into the cellar, the steward lit a box of fireworks in the center of the satellite city. Standing on the city gate tower of Anyi County, you can see beautiful fireworks blooming over the satellite cities.
Wei Cheng nodded with a smile, glanced at the time on his watch, and secretly praised the stewards' efficiency.
At the same time, Tian Feng ran over quickly.
"Sir, the Huns' cavalry has approached Satellite City No. 9. It seems that they are planning to set up camp and rest in place, haha." Wei Qing nodded slightly and asked with a smile: "Where are those people in the city?" Tian Feng answered with cupped hands: " We have already sent people to keep a close watch, waiting for them to open the city gate."
"Have all the people in the cities in the west of the city been settled?" Wei Cheng confirmed again.
"It has been settled. Everyone has been temporarily resettled in the north of the city. All the ditches in the west of the city have been filled with water. No matter how powerful the Huns are, they cannot cross the three-foot-wide ditch. It is useless even if they set fire to vent, the fire will not spread at all. open."
"That's very good. Let them burn it. It just saves the demolition costs. When they are in the urn, we will take care of them." Tian Feng laughed, raised his eyes and said: "Oh, by the way, the Longshan Army is already in the thirties. Stationed inside and outside." Wei Cheng said 'hmm', turned around and walked towards the inner city, holding on to the railing with both hands, and said: "Then go and invite the audience and guests to the banquet, just say that I, Wei Zhongdao, want to invite them to see it. It's a good show, if you are interested, don't go to bed too early tonight!"... The screen came to Satellite City No. 9.
This place specializes in training masons, and the farmers and commoners living here are also masons and apprentices, as well as their families.
However, at this time, they could no longer be seen in Satellite City No. 9. When the Huns' cavalry came in, it was like entering a deserted land.
King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu sat in the high hall of the guardhouse. Therefore, he did not become suspicious. The 50,000-strong army came in force. It was normal for the Han people outside the city to be afraid and hide in the city.
What he is worried about now is whether the people in the city have been discovered by the Han people. If the strategy of cooperating inside and outside cannot be implemented, then he will have no choice but to attack by force, and it will take a lot of effort to capture Anyi.
Yes, King Zuo Xian never doubted whether he could capture Anyi. The Wei family had only 5,000 city guards, but now 2,000 have gone to the grasslands, and the remaining 3,000 are not enough to hold on.
He led an army of 50,000 to fight. With a strength gap of more than ten times, it was not easy to capture Anyi County.
"Report..."
"Say." A man ran in from the door. After bowing respectfully, he leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, we have received the news. Everything is going well for Barbak and the others. The Han people did not doubt their identity." King Zuo Xian was startled when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed. Nod,
"Okay, great." After King Zuo Xian was happy, a graceful figure suddenly flashed in his mind. She was the girl he had never forgotten. Ever since he met Dong Zhuo in Chenliu, he vowed to get her.
He didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon. Even though she had already married as a woman, King Zuo Xian didn't mind at all.
The night is getting darker. It's time for the city guards guarding the city gate to change shifts. The twenty men who had just joined the city guard looked at each other with confusion on their faces. Why were they all placed on duty today as newcomers?
And several of them also found many familiar faces.
"Lame Qiao, how come you were released from prison and were selected into the city guard?"
"Damn it, I haven't talked about you yet, why are you here?"
"I...I was the one yesterday...uh, no, did you also report on it in the past two days?"
"It's true, I just joined the team this morning..." A trace of uneasiness spread...
"Brother, I always feel weird. We robbed the Wei family's goods and killed many people. How could they let our brothers join the city guard? I don't believe in the idea of making up for the mistakes."
"I don't believe it either, but that's the fact. I guess it's the right time for the Wei family to employ people. We brothers are somewhat famous in Green Forest, so it's normal for the Wei family to like us."
"This is the truth, but I always feel like something is wrong."
"Oh, don't think so much. I think life is pretty good now. We have wine and meat every day. The life of the city guard is very beautiful. It is much more comfortable than us going to block roads and rob." If someone observes carefully, they will I found that these newcomers to the 'City Guard' all had tattoos on their faces. Unfortunately, it was too dark and they were all wearing stab-proof clothing and hats. It would be hard to tell unless they were face to face.
Just when these newcomers were leaning against the city wall, chatting and spanking.
"Uh, drink, I can still drink, I'm not drunk, and our brothers will not come home unless they are drunk today..." A few drunkards came over noisily.
The leader of the 'City Guard' team frowned and shouted loudly: "Who are you? Don't you know that the Huns are coming outside the city? Are the city gates under martial law?" The drunken men seemed not to hear his scolding and continued to talk to each other. He walked over with help, and one of them even unzipped his pants and peeed while walking, laughing and crying at times, as if he was really drunk.
Several men from the City Guard looked at each other and frowned at the same time. Among them, there were many people with bad tempers, and some of them had beaten people to death because of their violent tempers. When they saw this group of drunkards, they couldn't help but feel bored, so they picked up their spears and pointed at the leader of the drunkards. Han pulled away.
At this critical moment. A few men who were still drunk suddenly got angry. They pulled out the scimitars tied behind their backs, and killed several "city guards" with the knife in their hands. They rushed over to kill others before they could react. .
Within a dozen breaths, twenty City Guards men were already lying on the ground. The hot blood dyed the soil under the city gate red, and a smell of blood filled the air.
"Brother Barbak, you did a great job." In the darkness, dozens of Huns wearing leather armor suddenly ran out, their bloodthirsty eyes full of ferocious aura.
The leading man sneered, kicked away the 'city guard' who was standing still at his feet, and said through gritted teeth: "Hurry up and open the city gate, welcome the king into the city. Tonight, we will avenge my brother Enke and Gemuhe."
"Yes, revenge!" The men clapped their chests one by one with high spirits. Squeak~ The closed city gate slowly opened, and the huge noise attracted the attention of the patrolmen on the gate tower.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack..." Someone was heard shouting loudly, but unusually no one was seen rushing down to fight.
Barbak and others raised their brows, feeling that everything was going too smoothly, but the city gate had already been opened, and they didn't care so much. Even if some Han people found out, it didn't matter. They just needed to block dozens of Han people from breathing.
The earth was trembling, and the roar of horse hooves was rolling in. Balbak looked back and shouted with joy: "It's the king. Brothers, hold on, we must not let the Han people close the city gate." Boom...
"Hahaha, Barbak, you did a great job. When you take Anyi and kill the Wei clan, I will give you a big reward." King Zuo Xian took the lead and rushed into the city. When he passed by Barbak and his party, he excitedly greeted him. They waved their scimitars.
