When Mengchang was hiding in the forest with his armored cavalry, he felt as if he had returned to the time when he followed Deng Zhizhong to deceive the city in the outer North Sea.
During that time, I was worried every day, but I could forget all the problems in my mind. The feeling of being reckless first and then talking later was really addictive, especially when I succeeded in the end.
Not having a clock is troublesome, and I can't tell the time. Fortunately, the sky is beautiful, the sun is shining brightly today, Meng Chang, who is squatting silently in the forest, looks at the shadow of the sun from time to time, and estimates the time in his mind.
He knew that even if he got the time right, it would not help. The real decisive factor was Wu Gan. No matter whether it was advanced or postponed, Wu Gan did not show up. Even if he and others waited until dark, they could not act rashly.
There was only one chance. After alerting the enemy, Ji Chengnan would never give him a second chance to sneak attack.
Time passed bit by bit, the sun climbed from the east to the middle, and then set from the middle to the west. Shen Shi was about to pass, and Meng Chang kept touching his chin that already had some down, feeling secretly anxious. , if Wu dares to delay the entire war until night, the plan will have to be changed by then.
Finally, a group of chaotic figures appeared. Hundreds of soldiers in yellow robes, discarding their armor, fled from the direction of Gucheng in the distance. Wu Gan and others were mixed in with the defeated army in Gucheng, looking towards the city. Come.
Meng Chang held down the agitated Xiong Kang and put his fingers between his lips to remind him to calm down.
Wu Gan had not sneaked into the city yet, so it was not the time to attack at this time. At least he had to wait until the sound of killing broke out at the city gate before he could lead his army to attack.
Seeing the defeated army retreating from a distance, the defenders in the city were shocked. They immediately dispersed the people entering the city at the city gate, closed the city gate, and shouted at the people to disperse.
"Who are you? Where do you come from?"
"I am Liqing, the assistant general of the army behind Gucheng. Gucheng was attacked and has now fallen into the hands of Chaoge's army. Please open the city gate quickly and let us enter the city."
When Zhong Xi, the city guard, and the second son of Zhong Yu, the man in the city, heard the news about Gucheng, they couldn't help but turn pale with shock. They immediately got off the city wall and walked to the city gate.
The door opened, Zhong Xi cautiously asked the military formation to step forward to block the door, and asked while standing in the military formation.
"But Master Wen from Dashang passed through Yicheng?"
"I don't know, but a group of defenders from Zhucheng threw away their armor and came towards our Gucheng. We wanted to collect Naer and others to prevent the pursuers, but who would have thought that those thieves were actually The thieves wearing Beihai armor took advantage of the unpreparedness of my west gate guard and took over the city gate. The Chaoge cavalry held high the flags of 'Shang' and 'Meng' and followed these thieves in to kill them."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu In just two hours, our Gucheng garrison fell into pieces. I also worked hard to escape from the city and give an early warning to the city."
Zhong Xi's expression changed. The Chaoge soldiers who fled from Zhucheng? Still wearing Beihai armor? And the flag with the word 'Meng'?
Why does this thing sound so familiar? Did my father say that when he came back from Pingbo? It is said that Tian Chen, a man from Yuncheng, briefly told the story of the loss of eleven cities in the outer Beihai area?
Good guy, that character 'Meng' can't be Meng Chang, the "General of Deception" who is famous in northern Xinjiang now!
Listening to the cries of the Gucheng defenders, Zhong Xi also looked strange and looked at Li Qing, who claimed to be the Gucheng defenders, with a strange expression.
Not only Zhong Xi, but also Wu Gan looked uncomfortable among the defeated army. How could this guy steal someone's lines? And you have fully informed me of the loss of Gucheng. The people in this city are so stupid that they would open the city gate and let me in.
When I thought that the general's perfect marching plan encountered such a strange thing at this stage, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. I wanted to immediately raise my weapons and give the order to storm into the city.
Although Wu Gan was reckless, he was not stupid. It was too difficult for him as a "defeated general" to charge into the battle. The defender on the opposite side didn't know how cowardly he was. Seeing the retreating friendly troops, he didn't know how to provide friendly assistance. It is really rude to cross-examine again and again in public.
"You said that the city of Gu was lost. How did they escape? Could it be that they were afraid of fighting and fled first?"
"Oh~ I understand. I'm afraid you are not pretending to be Chaoge's army, but you also want to repeat the same trick and deceive me into the city!"
Li Qing suppressed his blush and was speechless. The general opposite was really rude. Can such a big truth be made public in public? But he didn't know how to refute it. He could only mind his own business and pointed at Zhong Xi with red eyes, "You, you, you" for a long time, but he couldn't even curse a few words.
"General, we are really the defenders of Gucheng. Gucheng is not far from your city. Are there not many people in the army who know my general Liqing?"
When Liqing heard this, he was overjoyed. The two cities had good relations with each other, and they actually had some friends who knew each other. He couldn't help but look around him, and looked at the young Wu Gan, who was a little surprised. Whose child is this soldier? Why does this look a bit strange?
But it doesn't matter. There are always more than 10,000 soldiers in Gucheng, and he doesn't know everyone. Li Qing excitedly punched Wu Gan in the chest, immediately took off his pocket, revealed his face, and shouted at the city defenders. .
"I am Liqing from Gucheng, does anyone recognize me?"
"I am Gucheng Liqing, but someone knows me!!!"
After shouting four or five times, a few people finally stood up and whispered to their major general, which proved the authenticity of Li Qing's identity.
Under normal circumstances, Zhong Xi should have stepped forward immediately to explain the previous misunderstanding, and then gathered the remaining soldiers of Gucheng to repay his father.
But Zhong Xi's mood wasn't quite right either. He kept staring at Wu Gan who was standing behind Li Qing, and there seemed to be some excitement in his eyes.
"Come here, with the shields in front and the spears standing among them, drive these rebels out of the city gate area and arrest them all."
Everyone was shocked. Even the defenders of the city were a little dumbfounded. They didn't understand what the major general's intention was and why he wanted to attack the friendly forces. However, despite the military orders, the formations still completed the transformation in an instant and slowly moved forward. The army collapsed in Gucheng.
"General Jicheng, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Wu Gan, do you know Zhong Xifeng, who was a pawn under Yuan Futong's tent during the alliance meeting at Pingbo City in the past, when the kings competed in martial arts?"
"..."
Wu Gan really wanted to reply, who are you? do not know!
But at this moment, it was obvious that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. In desperation, he had no choice but to raise his spear and shout loudly.
"The wolf dogs in Jicheng look down upon us, the good men in Gucheng, and think that we are lost dogs. Not only do they not save us, they also harm us."
"The soldiers from Gucheng formed a formation to meet the enemy and beheaded this guy. We took his head and went back to join the Grand Master's army!"
At this time, Wu Gan was not very quick-witted. After a few shouts, in addition to his own troops, hundreds of Gucheng's defeated troops also subconsciously raised their arms to mix with the Chaoge soldiers, and helplessly resisted the friendly forces on the opposite side. move forward.
Only General Liqing stood in the middle, acting as a peacemaker, trying to prevent his own soldiers from clashing with Jicheng.
Originally, everyone came to seek refuge in Jicheng. If you don't want to, I'll just leave. The man opposite looks like a gentle and gentle young master. Why is he so angry? He escaped with his brothers all the way. Could it be that the people around him are... If he wasn't a soldier from Gucheng, how could he not know?
"General, please listen to me. I am really Liqing from Gucheng. I..."
With a "Pu Chi" sound, Zhong Xi stabbed out a spear without hesitation, piercing Li Qing's chest.
Li Qing didn't realize it until he died. Why would Jicheng, who was dependent on each other, do this to his own ally?
The other defeated soldiers in Gucheng immediately became frightened, and followed their "comrades" around them, squeezing harder.
"Wu Gan, how long are you going to keep pretending?"
"Hahaha, in the past you joined your family Wu Guwei to join forces with Yuan Futong in Pingbo, and I followed my father in the front. That young man who stood up with his spear and fought against the brave generals of the princes of Beihai was really enviable."
"I think I don't have the courage you have, General Wu. I am more wise than brave. Stop pretending. The pity show played by a reckless man like you is too clumsy. Don't stain our eyes."
Wu Gan was immediately furious. He asked himself that he had never entered the Inner Beihai Territory a few times in his life. Tian Chen only knew him because he was close to Wu Qi, and they had frequent contacts with each other. Who was this little thief? He only knew him four years ago. I followed Wu Qi to Pingbo once, and I was able to recognize him with a photographic memory.
It's actually a very embarrassing thing to have your ruse discovered, and it's even more irritating because you are the one being seen through.
He was not angry at others for being smart, but angry at himself for not being able to better fulfill the important task given to him by the general. When he thought that the general did not want him to do this before, he had to take the job on his own initiative and made a decision. Military orders.
Wu Gan felt so ashamed that he commanded the army to fight forward bravely. Even if he died, he had to make a gallop for the general's cavalry to drive.
The shouts of killing were deafening. The scouts dressed as minions near the city gate immediately set fire to the wet fodder on the oxcart. Thick smoke rose, and the rumble of horse hooves was heard in the distance.
Zhong Xi looked at the armored cavalry rushing in the distance with a flushed face, commanding the army to keep pushing forward. The gate of the city was so big, even Wu Gan, who was so brave and brave, was squeezed out and couldn't move. He was constantly being attacked by the enemy. The military shield formation was pushed outward.
Seeing the armored cavalry getting closer and closer, Wu Gan was pushed outside the door and could not move. He looked ashamed. Seeing his general slowing down his horse and approaching slowly, he wanted to immediately pull out the dagger from his waist and kill himself to apologize.
Just when Wu Gan was about to step forward to apologize, Zhong Xi was one step ahead and fell to his knees in advance, with grief and anger on his face and shouting with tears in his eyes.
"General Meng, why did you come here! Xi has been waiting here for a long time!"
To be honest, Meng Chang was a little confused. When he saw his army being squeezed out of the city gate by the crowd, he thought his plan had failed. He was thinking about rescuing Wu Gan and others before making plans and re-planning the strategy. He never thought The young general on the other side who saw through the disguise actually did this?
"General Meng, you should know that when Yuan Futong and Chonghou fought in Yancheng last time, although the princes in Beihai did not help Chonghou in the battle, they still adhered to their duties and did not help Yuan. Later, Chonghou took the initiative to oppose him. We gave Yuan Futong time and energy to turn around and attack our coalition forces."
"Although my city is not Bo City, it has a reputation for bravery within the Inner Beihai. General, can you see the carvings on my city? These are all traces left behind by Yuan Futong's attacks and defenses in the past. "
At this point, Zhong Xi's face showed anger, and he gnashed his teeth and cursed angrily: "That thief Yuan is with the strange beast. I have been suffering from the thief Yuan in Beihai for a long time. Now that the general is coming to recover, how dare I fight against the king's army? I am the man of the city. Zi Zhongxi wishes to show his loyalty and lead the soldiers in the city to surrender to the general."
Zhong Xi's words were convincing and well-founded. This meant that traces of a tragic battle could still be seen on the city.
Of course, the ones who were even more shocked were the defenders of the city. They never expected that the enemy army had just arrived and saw that the number of armored men was only over 2,000. There were more than 10,000 armored men in the city. The number of soldiers and servants was more than ten times that of the enemy, but his own major general actually knelt down and surrendered?
At this moment, Wu Gan no longer had the urge to draw his sword and kill himself. He immediately rushed to Meng Chang's side and roughly explained what happened to him just now when he saw through his disguise.
Perhaps seeing Mengchang's surprise and uncertainty, Zhong Xi was a little anxious and immediately continued to express his loyalty: "I know that the general can't believe me, so I would like to ask the general to wait for a while. The general is willing to go back to the city in person to convince my old and stupid father, please General, please wait a moment."
"Come here, open the city gate. If the general wants to enter the city, no one can stop him."
After that, he apologized and walked straight into the city.
Mengchang's doubts never disappeared, so he asked Wu Gan beside him: "Has this person known you well before?"
"Reporting back to the general, I have no impression."
"That's strange. Does he really want to surrender?"
The capture of the city was basically aborted. Even if the city gate was open, he would not dare to take everyone into danger.
He is a cavalryman, he can come and go as he pleases. If there is a trick, he can turn around and run away. If he looks for a good opportunity, he will be a turtle in the urn once he enters the city. He may be able to escape, but this brother may not.
However, Zhong Xi asked himself to wait where he was and went to personally ask the Jicheng men to surrender in front of the formation. This matter did not look like a lie.
As long as people hold on and don't come out, they'll be fine. There's no reason to bring their master here to risk it.
After thinking about it, Meng Chang turned around and asked Wu Gan and others to return to the team, and quietly waited for Zhong Xi's appearance with his cavalry.
An empty city strategy? Zhong Xi is not as good as Zhuge Wuhou, and he is not the Sima Yi who can dress up as a woman.
