Chapter 422 Siege
into the night,
When everything was quiet, a disturbance suddenly occurred in the National Protection Army garrison camp...
The torches in the camp were bright, as if they were going to light up half the sky.
This unusual situation was soon discovered by the rebels guarding the city walls.
With such a big fanfare, who knows if they are planning to attack the city at night!
"Quick! Go get the general!"
The general climbed up to the city wall and looked around carefully.
The purpose of attacking the city at night is to conceal themselves, but now they are making such a large-scale attack, which is a bit strange.
The light source formed by these torches only lingered near the camp and went in all directions. It didn't seem like they were going to attack the city, but rather they seemed to be looking for something...
He summoned his deputy general and ordered the scouts to leave the city and investigate the situation!
"The city's defenders must step up patrols at night, and the north and south gates must not slack off..."
"Those who neglect their duties will be beheaded!"
"Yes!"
"Look, hurry up!"
Huo Changming stood on a high place with an anxious look on his face.
He held a torch high in one hand and waved a whip with the other, making a crackling sound, and was shouting commands to his soldiers.
The ambushed scouts didn't dare to get too close, so all they saw was the young general on the high ground with an angry face, and the hurried steps of the National Defense Army...
After seeing the situation, the scout did not stay any longer and hurried back to the city along the same route.
The moment he disappeared from the spot, Huo Changming, who was originally furious, turned his head to look over there and suddenly laughed.
This person... is so deceptive~
"Eternal Light!"
Qi Shanyuan in front of the tent called out in a deep voice, "Don't let your guard down!"
"Cough cough..."
The young master restrained his smile, clasped his hands together and begged for mercy in a place where the scouts could not see, and continued to devote himself to "acting".
In front of him, the National Protection Army was indeed running hurriedly, back and forth, and their footsteps stirred up dust, making it even less clear in the dark.
What the scout didn't know was that the soldiers he saw were all the people in the camp...
They ran back and forth, creating the impression that the camp still had the same number of soldiers as usual, but was extremely panicked!
In fact, the army, led by Huo Lang and others, had already sneaked closer to the city gate in the dark.
At this moment, about half a quarter of an hour after the scouts entered the city from the city wall in a hanging basket, a team of a thousand people quietly approached the city wall.
Huo Lang and Meng Bu Ren, who were watching from the dark, could see clearly that their daughter was on Wang Qi's back...
"Meng, don't be impulsive!"
Huo Lang clenched the knife in his hand, his nerves tense.
Meng couldn't bear to glance at him and said speechlessly, "Who are you talking about?"
Say you're pretty good...
Huo Lang grinned, not caring too much, and used Meng Bushen's robe to wipe the sweat off his palms. "I've never been so scared even when I was in battle!"
Meng Bu Ren said calmly: "Impossible."
"What?"
He tilted his head and said sincerely, "Wang Qi can't carry you, so you can't go into battle."
Huo Lang: I am speechless.
"I...you!"
Finally, the tough guy rolled his eyes at the people around him and commented sharply: "Annoying!"
According to the little girl's plan, she has two plans~
One is to lure the defenders out of the city so that they can occupy the city... No, to recapture the city!
If the defenders are cowards and refuse to come out, she has a second plan.
Wang Qi and she led the thousand people into the city and attacked the city from outside. They intercepted the reinforcements at the South Gate inside the city and opened the city gate from the inside!
This city is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it has an inherent geographical advantage. The rebels have few troops to begin with, and according to the general's strategy, he should leave the minimum number of troops to defend this city.
Therefore, there is no problem in having a thousand people enter the city and fight hard until the main army enters the city.
"who!"
"No! Don't shoot!"
"We are under the command of General Shen You!"
Wang Qi carried the little girl on his back, looked up at the sharp arrows on the city wall, and quietly took a step back.
He seemed to be frightened, but he completely exposed his front to the people on the city wall, thereby shielding the girl on his back.
If something really happens, he will go to see the King of Hell first!
"stop!"
On the city wall, the general seemed to be lost in thought.
Until now, it was unclear who the leader of the rebels was and who led the troops. Even in the capital, it was not clear. But this person could accurately call out General Shen You's name...
Although he called for a stop, he did not ask the archers to put down their weapons, and it was obvious that he was half-believing and half-doubting.
"Who are you?"
Wang Qi heard the voice and smiled happily, "General, it's me, Wang Qi!"
"He is the deputy general sent to Kyoto by the general a few days ago!"
He said excitedly: "The general asked me to make amends for my crime, but the little girl sneaked back to the north. I couldn't wait for the master, and I was afraid that the master would blame me..."
"I can only pretend to surrender and beg for mercy to get into the army!"
"Look..."
He pointed at the person on his back, looking excited, "We have captured him!"
"The National Defense Army's camp is in chaos right now. General, follow me to attack the camp now, and we will surely win a great victory."
"Defeating the National Defense Army is such an honorable thing. The master will definitely be happy!"
After a long speech, Wang Qi finally smiled flatteringly and said, "I just hope that the general will say a few good words in front of the master, and we will also make contributions..."
"We don't want any high officials, gold or silver!"
"Just give me some gold and silver!"
The little girl lying on Wang Qi's back had her eyelashes fluttering restlessly.
Good man, it’s a shame for you not to act in the theater with your talent!
I almost believed that you were really thinking of selling someone out!
In the team, Jiang An was not the only one who thought this way. Even Zheng Yan and Zheng Lu were feeling very nervous.
Caught the person?
The general remembered what the scout had just reported, and he became so excited that he almost leaned half of his body out, which scared the deputy general beside him.
He looked at her and saw that she was indeed a little girl...
There is no other little girl in the National Protection Army!
In addition, he saw with his own eyes the chaos in the camp in the distance...
The general no longer doubted what Wang Qi said.
only…
He gave the order, "Open the city gate!"
"Wang Qi, you all should enter the city quickly!"
Wang Qi looked at the door that was gradually opening, and asked again, unwilling to give up, as if he was greedy for credit, "General, do you want this free credit?"
On the tower, "The master has said that we only need to guard this pass!"
This city is an important gateway and the only way to enter Beijing.
If you want to bypass this city and enter the capital, you have to go through the mountains, and it will take at least ten more days to march!
By that time, the capital will have changed a lot...
“Is…I see.”
Now, Wang Qi was really disappointed.
It seems that I can only try my best~
The door opened, the soldiers entered, and within a few moments...
Before the general walked down from the tower, many torches suddenly appeared very close to the city wall, and shouts of fighting and killing reached the sky.
The light from the torches was so strange that it almost scared the soldiers on the wall out of their spears.
After being stunned for a while, he said, "Attack... Attack the city... Attack the city!"
This sound brought many people back to reality, "Attack the city... Go call the general!"
Now, the city wall was in chaos.
The general, who was halfway there, seemed to hear a noise and stopped.
"Siege the city?"
"Why attack the city? Didn't I tell you to keep your troops in place? Why are you yelling?"
The deputy general beside him hesitated, "General, it seems to be at the city gate..."
"General, the National Defense Army is attacking the city!"
"what!"
Oh my God!
The general almost climbed up the city wall, "Why are they attacking the city?"
Could it be that he thought that his little ancestor was abducted by them?
Are you anxious?
He is wronged...wait a minute.
It doesn’t seem unfair.
