- ¡ª¡ªOn May 15th, the fifth year of Jingzhi of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in a certain street in Guangling¡ª¡ª
The time was around the third quarter of Xu, and night enveloped the earth. Although the round and bright moon hung high in the night sky, due to the clouds, the brilliance of the full moon could not be spread to the ground. Instead, it gave people a gloomy and depressing stagnation. Feeling heavy.
¡°Kakakaka¡¡±
Near the intersection of an alley, there was a gray-yellow native dog lying on the ground, gnawing on a bone with relish.
Suddenly, the native dog¡¯s ears stood up, and its slightly green eyes stared at the distance of the alley warily. I saw a rush of footsteps in the distance in the alley.
Perhaps he vaguely saw the figure, the native dog stood up suddenly, pressed the bone with his left front paw, slightly bent his two hind legs, ready to go, and let out a low growl between the teeth in his mouth. .
Finally, it saw clearly the group of people walking hurriedly from the alley opposite.
That was a group of men wearing weapons
"Woooo¡ª¡ª"
The native dog's tail swung slightly, and the low growl from between its teeth became louder and louder. It was obviously trying to scare away the opponent. However, the young man leading the group just glanced at it and held the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand. The cold eyes and the murderous aura brought by the man's actions made the native dog's body tremble slightly.
"woo woo woo woo¡¡"
Glancing at the visitor's cold gaze, the native dog's low growl suddenly turned into a whimper. It lowered its head, quickly bit the bones under its claws with its mouth, and fled into its own yard with its tail between its legs, hiding in the yard. The shadow behind the door watched the group of people passing by the house with fearful eyes.
It instinctively feels threatened.
"[I am really serious about being serious with a beast]
Shaking his head mockingly, Kuyang slowly relaxed the hilt of the sword held in his right hand, looked up at the sky, and asked in a low voice, "What time is it now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chang, the general next to him, whispered, "When I was passing by just now, there was a watchman on the street at midnight. It was probably Xu and Zi time"
Kuyang frowned and whispered, "Where is the vanguard?"
Xu Chang hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and whispered, "If we go according to the original plan the vanguard troops will probably be preparing to feint to attack the South City Gate under the leadership of the thousand-man general Wu Ji"
Ku Yang frowned when he heard this, but he also understood that Xu Chang or Wang Jian could not be blamed for this matter. After all, the original plan also came from Ku Yang's mouth. If he wanted to take it seriously, he could only blame Ku Yang. He failed to penetrate the sinister plot of Wu Heng, the fourth-generation commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army, in time, so that although he could be said to have thought of Wu Heng's entire plan, he did not have enough time to correct his previous negligence.
Xu Chang secretly looked at the dead sheep, and when he saw his commander frowning, he said in a low voice, "Don't worry, commander. The general thinks that Wang Jian will be able to pass the news to Wu Jiu in time. In addition, that Blade Jiu can also inform Zhou in time." The army changed its original plan"
"I hope" Kuyang sighed slightly, then shook his head and said in a deep voice, "At this point, we can only take one step at a time! - Let's go!"
"yes!"
The group of people hurriedly walked towards the far end of the alley. Behind them, the local dog gnawed on the bones and quietly slipped out of his yard. He stood in the alley and watched the dead sheep and others leaving without knowing why. Back view.
After a moment, it quickly ran back to the yard. Even though it was domesticated, its animal instinct reminded it: today will be a sleepless night.
¡ª¡ªGuangling South Gate¡ª¡ª
Just when Ku Yang and his general Xu Chang came from the inconspicuous alleys in the city to the vicinity of the South City Gate, Wu Jiu, the thousand-man general of the Niuzhu Army whom they said was ready to attack Nan City in accordance with Ku Yang's previous order. A feint attack was launched at the city gate.
The so-called feint attack actually has the effect of attracting the enemy's attention. It does not require the capture of the south gate of Guangling, but at least it should make the Taiping Army defenders who have become enemies think so.
Patting his cheek and taking a deep breath, Wu Jiu secretly prayed that his trip would go smoothly.
Most of the generals who are preparing for a sneak attack hate operating under the bright full moon. After all, the bright moonlight will expose their whereabouts. I am afraid that only Ma Dan, the general of the Zhou army, did the opposite and became increasingly fierce. He likes to sneak attack the enemy before and after the full moon. Because the guards' field of vision is wider on a full moon night than on other nights, and as a result, their vigilance becomes weaker and weaker. After all, human habits determine that people will feel more uneasy and frightened in the dark night, thus increasing their vigilance. On the contrary, they will unknowingly relax.
And Wu Jiu obviously did not have the ability of Zhou general Ma Dan, at least he lacked the courage of Ma Dan to dare to attack the rear army general Du Fang on a full moon night, so he could only ask the unknown gods of the past in the sky Pray to encourage yourself.
After several breaths, Wu Ji finally made up his mind. He winked at the Qubu soldiers behind him, gritted his teeth and emerged from the alley where his figure was hidden.
In fact, to be honest, regarding the layout near the South City Gate, there is not much difference whether there is a full moon in the sky that is sometimes covered by clouds and sometimes becomes bright, because there are everywhere near the South City Gate. Extraordinarily strong bonfires were burning, and the light spread by these bonfires could easily alert the Taiping guards on the city walls and city gates to any abnormalities nearby.
¡°For example, Wu Jiu and his party hurried towards the South City Gate with a group of people
"Stop! - The city gate is an important place, no unauthorized entry is allowed!"
Noticing the approach of Wu Ji and his party, a general came out from the guards at the south gate of Guangling. He estimated that his position was probably a thousand-man general. This person immediately stopped Wu Jiu.
"Which army do you belong to? Why are you gathering here late at night! - Tell me quickly, otherwise I will blame you for causing chaos!" As he spoke, the thousand-man general had already held down his hand. The sword on his waist, and at the same time, hundreds of soldiers beside him had raised their spears, waiting sternly.
"Huh?" Suppressing the uneasiness and fear in his heart, Wu Jiu pretended to be confused and said, "Didn't you ask me to come over and guard the city gate?"
"Guarding the city gate?" A trace of confusion flashed in the eyes of the thousand-man general, with some doubts and suspicions, and he said in surprise, "Absurd! The guard of the south city gate is a member of General Wang Liang's tent. Who are you? "
"But there is indeed an order issued, asking me to come over and change defense" Wu Jiu said with feigned surprise.
"What? Is this happening?" The thousand generals looked confused, looked Wu Ji up and down, and asked curiously, "What is your name? Which army do you belong to? Which general is under your command? Who called you? Come here to switch defense?"
Seeing this, Wu Jiu clasped his fists and whispered, "The last general, Wu Jiu, was originally affiliated with the Jinling Tianquan Armyhe was ordered by Lord Zhang Hong, the Tianquan Army of the rear army, to be on duty here!" According to Ku Yang's previous instructions , Wu Jiang faked the name of Wei Hu's Jinling Tianquan Army.
"Jinling Tianquan Army" The thousands of people were stunned when they heard this.
As we all know, Wei Hu, the Heavenly Power Divine General among the Six Divine Generals, was one of his most favored generals, Wu Heng, the fourth-generation commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army, and he was entrusted to garrison the important city of Jinling. But after Wei Hu's death, Wu Heng ruthlessly ordered the Jinling Tianquan Army to be dispersed, and nearly 20,000 troops were added to each army, including the army of the rear army Tianquan General Zhang Hong.
After all, Zhang Hong, the general of the rear army, is currently responsible for the defense of the entire Guangling. Under the current situation where the Zhou army commander Xie An is pressing hard, Guangling has become the last fortress of the Taiping Army. Therefore, Wu Heng will naturally give priority. Expand the garrison strength of Guangling. The reason why Ku Yang taught Wu Jiu to say this was to dispel the suspicion of the Taiping soldiers guarding the city.
"It turns out to be the Tianquan Army It may be a false order. Please go back! - This place is guarded by my general Wang Liang!" The sharp eyes of the thousand-man general became much softer, and his eyes were full of ridicule. , contempt, sympathy, pity and many other expressions. After all, the status of Tianquan Army before and after can indeed be described by four words: the world is in a state of flux.
"Go back?" Wu Jiu said with a bit of panic on his face when he heard this, "It would be easy for me to go back, but if the general's order was not misreported, wouldn't the Lord General want to punish me for disrespecting the general's order?" A serious crime? - Could you please tell this big brother to report to General Wang Liang to see if General Wang Liang has also received the news? If it is really a false alarm, I will go back to sleep These days, to be honest, I haven't slept much A comfortable feeling"
"This" There was a hint of hesitation on the faces of the thousands of people, but under Wu Jiang's various pleas, he finally nodded and agreed.
"Tell your subordinates to stop a hundred steps away and not to trespass!" After warning, the thousand people summoned a messenger and ordered him to go up to the tower to report the matter to the guard Wang Liang.
"Okay, okay" Wu Jiong responded repeatedly and waved behind him. Suddenly, three to five hundred people behind him sat down one after another, whispering, and many people actually sighed. , even the weapons in his hands were thrown aside.
¡°Hey, you guys, who told you to wait and sit down?!¡± Wu Jiu cursed with a red face.
However, seeing this scene in the eyes of the thousand-man general, he couldn't help but let go of his doubts, and even couldn't help but sympathize with the army in front of him.
??I think about the status of the Tianquan Army when Wei Hu was there, but now that Wei Hu is dead, the Tianquan Army is alsoIt¡¯s
Yes, it was completely over. From the perspective of the thousand-man general, the lazy soldiers in front of him seemed to have lost all their fighting spirit and morale in Aurous Hill, and they were even worse than a mob.
"Hey, you guys, get up!" Wu Jiu, whose face turned red, kicked the soldiers who were sitting on the ground to rest mercilessly.
[This thousand-man general named Wu Jiang seems to still have some fighting spirit, but it¡¯s a pity]
Looking at the soldiers who still did not want to get up from the ground after being kicked by Wu Jiu, the thousand-man general shook his head secretly, stepped forward and shouted to Wu Jiu, "Stop! - No noise is allowed in the important area of ??the city gate!" "
"I" Wu Jiu looked back at the thousand generals at a loss, and then turned to look at the soldiers beside him with an expression of anger.
[Is this the Tianquan Army? ¡ª¡ªThe Lord Tianjiang didn¡¯t know what he was thinking, but actually asked this ragtag group of people to participate in the defense of the city]
The thousand-man general felt both contempt and sympathy in his heart. Not only him, but also the soldiers guarding the city under his command looked amused and disdainful.
I don¡¯t know what he thought, but the thousand-man general actually walked towards Wu Ji. Maybe he felt that Wu Ji and the soldiers under his command who were not even qualified as a mob were not enough to threaten him.
Of course, but this does not mean that this thousand-man general trusts Wu Jiu. It is not difficult to tell just by looking at his left hand that is always pressed on the hilt of the sword.
"Those bastards!" He cursed in an angry tone. Wu Jiu seemed to have calmed down, and turned to ask the Thousand-Man General, "Why does this big brother have a proper surname?"
"The surname is Zhou, and the name is only Huang."
"Oh, it turns out it's Brother Zhou Huang" Wu Jiu called rather affectionately, seemingly trying to get close to him.
"Where is it" Thousand People General Zhou Huang waved his hand with a smile on his face.
¡°Perhaps it was because Wu Jiang deliberately cultivated a close relationship. After chatting for a few words, the two gradually became close to each other. But unfortunately, Zhou Huang's left hand is still clasped on the hilt of the sword at his waist. It is not difficult to see that he is still somewhat suspicious of Wu Jiang.
[Commander Kuyang said it right. It¡¯s not easy to gain someone¡¯s trust in a short period of time, but]
A slight chuckle appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Wu Jiu's expression suddenly changed slightly as he smiled and chatted with Zhou Huang in a low voice.
"What's the matter, brother Wu Ji?" Zhou Huang, who noticed Wu Ji's abnormality, subconsciously tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, and his eyes towards Wu Ji became wary.
However, what surprised him was that Wu Jiang squinted his eyes and looked towards the city wall for some reason, lowered his voice and asked hesitantly, "Brother Zhou Huang, are those people soldiers under your command?"
"Oh? Who are they?" Zhou Huang's eyes became more alert as he looked at Wu Jiu. He walked away a few steps intentionally or unintentionally, and then turned to look in the direction Wu Jiu was pointing.
To be honest, Zhou Huang was actually very wary and suspicious of Wu Jiu at this moment. After all, after wars, there were countless examples of people around him being killed because they turned around. God knows if Wu Jiu had any intention of harming him. , after all, the heart is separated from the belly.
However, what surprised Zhou Huang was that when he looked in the direction Wu Jiang pointed, he actually saw a group of people sneaking towards the base of the city wall.
"Who is coming?! - The city gate is an important place, no trespassing is allowed!"
Subconsciously, Zhou Huang shouted sharply.
What made Zhou Huang even more angry was that when the group saw their whereabouts exposed, they immediately drew their weapons and charged toward the city gate.
"The matter has come to an end, brothers, fight to the death and capture the city gate!" The group of people shouted.
Zhou Huang was shocked and angry, and quickly ordered his soldiers to resist. He was secretly lucky. If Wu Jiu hadn't warned him, the traitor might have succeeded and was killed by surprise. After all, because of Wu Jiang and his party, the guards at the nearby city gate were watching the jokes of these former Tianquan soldiers and did not notice the thieves approaching quietly.
"Could it be Zhou soldiers? - How did they get into the city?" Zhou Huang said to himself in a shocked voice while commanding his soldiers to resist the incoming enemy.
"It doesn't seem like they are Zhou soldiers" Approaching Zhou Huang quietly, Wu Jiu pretended to be surprised and said, "These peoplearen't these people Tianshu Army?"
"Tianshu Army?" Zhou Huang's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he asked in surprise, "Niuzhu Tianshu Army under Ku Yang's command?" After saying that, he squinted his eyes and murmured, "There are rumors in the city that Ku Yang is dissatisfied with Commander Wu and wants to Raising an army to rebel, I didn't expect it to be true" At this point, he was suddenly startled.
[It¡¯s strange, those people don¡¯t have flags. How did Wu Jiu know that the other party was the Tianshu Army? ]
Thinking of this, Zhou Huang made up his mindShidi turned to look at Wu Ji and asked doubtfully, "How do you know"
At this point, his voice stopped suddenly, because he suddenly saw a sword shadow flashing in front of him, and immediately, he felt that the world in his eyes suddenly spun inexplicably.
"Plop"
A bloody head fell to the ground and rolled.
Shaking away the blood on the sword in his hand, Wu Jiu's eyes that were full of flattery flashed with a hint of coldness. He glanced at the headless corpse in front of him and said lightly, " What a fool! - Isn't this very simple? I am also a Niuzhu Tianshu Army!"
After that, he waved his hand, and the soldiers who were sitting on the ground and sighing, not even a mob, suddenly jumped up from the ground one by one, taking advantage of the guards at the city gate to focus their attention. When there are sneak attackers in the direction of the city wall, kill them from behind.
Under attack from two sides, the defenders near the South City Gate were immediately defeated and almost killed. But similarly, the sound of fighting also attracted the attention of the guards on the city wall.
"Someone is attacking the city gate! There are civil rioters who are attacking the city gate!"
An alarm bell sounded immediately on the tower of the South City Gate, and immediately, the Taiping Army guards on the city wall surged down like a tide.
"It's really terrible"
Looking at the unknown number of enemy troops attacking, Wu Jiu felt his scalp numb. He didn't even have time to feel complacent about killing Zhou Huang with a trick. Firstly, this was the trick of his commander Kuyang. Secondly, , the Taiping Army guards on the city wall reacted really quickly and quickly came down the city wall to support him, so that he had no time to be proud.
[Killing the guard at the city gate is just the beginning]
At this moment, Wu Jiu understood the true meaning of Ku Yang¡¯s words.
"The whole army forms a formation! - Send twenty people to open the city gate, and the rest guard here, waiting for backup!"
With a ferocious look on his face, Wu Jiu shouted sharply. In fact, he knew very well that there was no so-called backup at all, because he was just feigning an attack. The real target of his Niu Zhu army was the West City Gate.
At the moment, he still doesn¡¯t know that Kuyang has noticed Wu Heng¡¯s true sinister plan and changed his strategy.
Not only did he not think of it, but even a certain big shot on the tower couldn't think of it.
"Beautiful, really well done! - Logically speaking, a small general with a thousand men shouldn't have such a strategy He should have been taught by Ku Yang himself, right? It's amazing! He could think of such a strategy to transfer the guard. Suspicion!¡±
After the five generals of the Taiping Army, Zhang Hong, the military general, stood by the city wall, stroking his palms and praising lightly. Because he had seen all Wu Jiang's actions just now, but he didn't get drunk. After all, his target was Kuyang, not Wu Jiu.
"Do you want to send a signal for help, Lord Tianjiang?" a guard beside him asked in a low voice.
"Send it! Of course we have to send it! - Especially the West City Gate" With a slight smile on his lips, Zhang Hong said with a half-smile, "If we don't mobilize most of the guards at the West City Gate here, the dead sheep will be here again." How could he show up to attack the west city gate?" As he said that, he glanced not far to the right.
At the corner of the city wall, Wang Liang, the guard of the South City Gate, was sitting paralyzed against the city wall with blood on his face, looking at Zhang Hong with anger and horror.
"Is it an accident? Ha! It should feel natural! - Do you really think that the little trick you are waiting for can be hidden from Commander Wu and this general? Idiot!"
Wang Liang was shocked and angry when he heard this. At first, he was a little confused when he was seriously injured by Zhang Hong for no reason, but at this moment, he already understood.
Exposed Whether it was Ku Yang or Wang Liang secretly informing his cousin Wang Jian, they have actually been seen through.
"It's just that Zhang Hong, the general of the rear army, was targeting Kuyang himself, not his subordinates.
"As the guard of the South City Gate, I informed the rebels Do you want to kill this person, Lord General?" Glancing at Wang Liang, the guard asked in a cold voice.
"Ha!" Zhang Hong chuckled upon hearing this, and said calmly, "Make sure this person dies in the hands of the Tianshu Army! - At least there must be no traitors under my command, Zhang Hong, otherwise it will affect the morale of our army!"
"Yes!" The guard nodded, raised his hand and cut Wang Liang's throat with a sword, and then said in a deep voice with his fists clasped, "Sir, something bad happened. Unfortunately, General Wang Liang, the guard of the South City Gate, was killed by the Tianshu Army rebels ¡¡±
"Oh, that's such a pity" Shrugging, Zhang Hong turned around and walked away.
Wang Liang covered his throat with both hands, but still could not stop the blood spurting out. Wang Liang watched Zhang Hong gradually walk away and slowly fell into a pool of blood.
