When Kong Ying led more than 500 soldiers of the special battalion to put on Cao Jun's uniforms and run back to Taishan County with Cao's weapons, Lu Xun and Yan Liang also quickly prepared their troops and horses and set off towards the city gate of Taishan County.As for the thousands of Cao soldiers who had been captured, they were also guarded by hundreds of people and walked at the back of the line, following the army all the way to Natai Mountain, and marching to safety, all of them were stationed in the barracks."
County guard, these hours have passed, why hasn't there been news from the front, is there something wrong."
In the middle of Taishan County, some generals were suspicious of the fact that the enemy soldiers had not returned to the nearby Xuzhou, and they couldn't help but ask Na Gao."
According to the distance and time, it should indeed come back, could it be that these enemy soldiers are difficult, Wang Kai can't take them for a while, this shouldn't be, with my 10,000 soldiers and horses as a secret sneak attack, even if the other party has 10,000 soldiers and horses, it will be lost in an instant, and the enemy army will be repelled even if it is not annihilated.Otherwise, the enemy army brought too many supplies, and the cleaning of the battlefield delayed time. ”The more Gao Ci thought about it, the more proud he became, and he couldn't help but imagine the picture of himself going to Xiahoudun to receive merit.At dusk, under the city gate of Taishan County, a group of stragglers ran straight towards the city gate, and did not forget to shout when they reached the middle of the road: "Open the city gate quickly, open the city gate quickly" "Stop, who is coming" Hearing the sound outside the city gate, the soldiers in charge of duty have raised their longbows in their hands and pointed at the people downstairs in the city, although the number of these people is not much, but at this moment it is the time when the enemy and our armies are fighting, they guard the city gate duties, and dare not be careless."
Look at the city gate, we are the soldiers under the command of General Xiahoudun, and this time we were ordered by Gao Junshou to attack the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou.As a result, I didn't want to fall into the enemy's ambush, and almost all the army was wiped out, only I waited for hundreds of people to fight a bloody way and come to report to the county guard, and if the enemy chased after it later, it would be too late. ”One of them complained, and the others all responded with a cry of grief.After seeing this scene, the sergeants in charge of duty on the tower of the city gate stopped their bows and arrows in their hands and looked at their clothes, but they were already in military uniforms, and most of them had already begun to talk about it.Listening to everyone's discussions, the responsible generals can't keep these defeated troops out, if something goes wrong, then this little person can't afford it.Considering the urgency of the situation, the general could no longer withstand the hesitation in his heart, and hurriedly waved his hand to the guards downstairs at the city gate and said, "They are our sergeants, open the city gate and let them in quickly." ”With the order of the general defending the city, the sergeants who were in charge of guarding the city gate hurriedly removed the bolt and opened the city gate, allowing the sergeants outside the city gate to enter.At the same time, the general who defended the city had already asked people to report the news to the county guard of the city.When Gao Ci heard the news, he was so frightened that he fell off his seat.The 20,000 soldiers and horses he received from Xiahoudun gave 10,000 horses to a sneak attack, but now he fell into the trap of the enemy, and 10,000 soldiers and horses went, only more than 500 people returned.If this news reaches Xiahoudun, I am afraid that even if he carries his head, it will not be enough to atone for his sins.However, Gao Ci didn't believe this result at this point, so he stepped forward and grabbed the sergeant who came to report and said viciously: "If you tell me again, if there is a half-word falsehood, be careful that I will kill you." ”In the face of Gao Ci's threats and intimidation, the sergeant in charge of communications couldn't help but tremble and said: "My lord, what I said is the truth, just now I was on duty at the city gate, but there was a team of people outside, about five or six hundred people, they were wearing our military uniforms, all of them looked defeated, claiming to be the soldiers and horses of General Xiahoudun who had escaped from the enemy's ambush, and the others were either killed or captured. ”"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, most of our army's 10,000 soldiers and horses are elite soldiers, those Xuzhou soldiers and horses are running around day and night, people are sleepy and tired, and our army is a sneak attack, how can it be defeated."
Gao Ci muttered to himself, suddenly his eyes froze, and he couldn't help but say: "What did you just say that our soldiers were ambushed by the enemy, what the hell is going on" Seeing that Gao Ci continued to be angry, the sergeant really didn't dare to talk to him too much, and under the nervousness, he hurriedly found an excuse and said: "The little ones don't know, the sergeants who fled back have returned, it's better to ask them later." ”Hearing the sergeant's words, Gao Ci shouted again: "Quick, go and let them come to me, I will ask for clarification in person." ”"The small ones will go, and the small ones will go."
After saying that, the sergeant ran out with a roll and crawl.Let's say that the Xuzhou soldiers who were in charge of lurking in Taishan County this time, after successfully deceiving the guards and touching into Cheng, still did not dare to be careless, and everyone squatted at the gate of the city as soon as they entered the city and hugged their heads and cried, so that those soldiers who were guarding the city could not help but be moved when they saw it.As soon as the sergeant who was in charge of reporting to Gao Ci returned and encountered those sergeants who had retreated, thinking that he had been strangled by the county guard because of these people before, he couldn't help but be angry: "You guys, the county guard has summoned you, hurry up." ”Kong Ying, the leader of Xuzhou who was lurking this time, couldn't help but look helpless at the sergeant and said: "We are a sergeant from General Xiahou, who is not familiar with this place, and Brother Lao will lead us the way." ”"You" the other party does not know the way, and as a local sergeant, if he does not give him the way, he cannot afford to delay anything.What's more, when the county keeper was furious at the moment, he couldn't delay.The errand sergeant did not dare to slack off even if he was not satisfied, but silently remembered in his heart that his luck was not good today, so he led everyone to the county guard's mansion, and after running all the way, he pointed to a very luxurious mansion and said: "This is the county guard's mansion, you go in, I will not accompany you, I still have to go back to defend the city." ”Seeing that the other party was leaving, and hearing that the other party seemed to be a soldier defending the city, Kong Ying's eyes rolled and he hurriedly said: "In Xia Kong Ying, thank you little brother this time, I don't know what the little brother will call again, and I will definitely thank you in the future if I have the opportunity to do the east." ”The politeness of Kong Ying and the others made the errand sergeant feel warm in his heart, thinking of his previous indifference, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed: "Ah, this is not necessary, it's just a guide, and besides, it's a gesture." ”Seeing that the other party was embarrassed and wanted to postpone it, Kong Ying couldn't help but say again: "Alas, the little brother is a local, and we are dispatched from other enemies."
Today's sneak attack on the enemy failed, I am afraid that I will have to stay in this city in the future, and it will be inconvenient to walk in the city in the future, so there will be Brother Lao, which can be regarded as a multiplicity. ”Seeing that Kong Ying and the others were so hospitable, the errand sergeant was embarrassed to postpone it, so he had to put up a smile and arch his hand: "In Xia Wang Dazhuo, he is a guard sergeant at the city gate, and he has nothing to do on weekdays, if you have something to do and come to me directly." ”Kong Ying hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Brother Wang, Kong Ying remembered, Brother Wang should go and get busy, wait for me to deal with the matter at hand, and invite Brother Wang to have a drink tomorrow." ”"In that case, then I will respond to your kindness."
After speaking, Wang Dazhuan didn't stop for more, left quickly, and returned to his post.This time such a big thing happened, the position of the guard is even more difficult, if you can't return to your position on time, I'm afraid you will be charged with leaving your post without permission.When Wang Dazhuan ran all the way back to the city gate, he encountered a picture of crisis.His brothers were on full guard with their bows and arrows in the city gate.I don't know why, Wang Dazhuan hurriedly ran to his post, and when he met the general in charge of his duties, he saw him, and shouted at himself: "Wang Dashuo, you are a pig, a trivial matter has been delayed for so long, if you let the enemy attack the city, the first one will ask you to behead." ”Seeing that the leading generals were angry, Wang Dazhuan hurriedly made up a lie: "The little one has some stomach discomfort on the road, so it's convenient, so it's late, don't be angry." ”The general ignored Wang Dazhuan's explanation at all, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, a full rice bucket, who told you to eat so much, guard your door." ”Another burst of drinking from the guard generals made Wang Dazhuan extremely unhappy in his heart, and he couldn't help lowering his head and gritting his teeth to endure the anger in his heart.When Wang Dazhuan returned to his post, it was not difficult to see the scene outside through the gap in the city gate, and he couldn't help but be stunned.Although it was nighttime at the moment, I don't know when, a column of people gathered in the plain outside, and these numbers were more than a few thousand, not too much, not too little.Even though the distance between the two sides was relatively far, Wang Dazhuan had already felt that there was a strong killing intent exuding from these people, and that killing intent directly enveloped the entire Taishan County through the sky, making people can't help but feel a trace of trembling.A thought instantly floated in Wang Dashuo's mind, these people are the Xuzhou soldiers who had broken the army of 10,000 soldiers and horses before, the soldiers and horses under the Zhao King who was rumored to be Chinese and brave in the world, it is reported that there is no unbreakable city where the soldiers and horses of King Zhao went, and the soldiers and horses that could not be defeated, especially the soldiers and horses of this King of Zhao can each fight well, and they are used to winning more with less.According to the brothers around him, the county guard borrowed 20,000 elite soldiers from General Xiahoudun, of which 10,000 soldiers and horses were used to strengthen the defense, and 10,000 soldiers and horses were used to sneak attack the enemy camp on the way, but he did not want to be plotted by these enemy troops, which shows how powerful these enemy troops are.Just when Wang Dazhuan was pondering, there was a sudden burst of shouts outside: "The people in the city listen to me, now my Xuzhou soldiers and horses are coming to the city, if you are acquainted, quickly put down your weapons and open the city gate to surrender, we will never kill innocents indiscriminately, if our army invades the city in the future, we will never surrender again, give you a day to think about it, I will think clearly." ”Seeing that the enemy army was so arrogant, the leading guard general couldn't help but shout: "Bold thief, dare to come to invade my Yanzhou land, just because you people and horses also want to break through my city, when my Yanzhou army arrives, let you and others be buried under the wilderness and jungle of my Taishan County." ”:
