- "Clang, clang, clang¡ª! clang, clang, clang¡ª!"
"The Niuzhu army has rebelled, the Niuzhu army has rebelled!"
The south gate of Guangling City was already a scene of turmoil and chaos. Although Wu Jiu, a thousand-man general of Niuzhu Army, followed the ingenious plan of his commander Ku Yang and designed to kill Zhou Huang, a thousand-man general guarding the south gate. Therefore, in this sneak attack, However, due to the rapid response of the Taiping Army guards on the wall near the South City Gate, a large number of guards poured down from the city wall, which made Wu Jiu's situation somewhat optimistic.
What's worse is that although the guards on the South City Gate wall were initially caught off guard by Wu Ji and his men, as time went by, the Taiping Army guards gradually discovered that this rebel army was the Liushen General. Niuzhu Tianshu Army under Tianshu God General Kuyang gradually calmed down the originally panicked morale of the Taiping Army soldiers.
You know, many Taiping soldiers thought that the Zhou army had invaded the city at first, and used a strategy they could not imagine to cross the seven or eighty-foot high wall of Guangling City under their noses. This is The one that hits them hardest. Later, once it was learned that Niuzhu's army was responsible for the rebellion, the commotion in the army immediately subsided, and was replaced by the anger of being betrayed by friendly forces and the cruelty towards traitors.
Those who betray trust and commit rebellion will be killed without mercy!
Full of indignation, the soldiers of the main division of the Taiping Army waved their butcher knives against the comrades of Sergeant Niu Zhug who were originally friendly forces and fellow soldiers.
Eight thousand people, Zhang Hong's army in charge of the defense of the south city gate has eight thousand people. Even leaving aside the soldiers who have already rested in the military camp tents and requisitioned houses in the city, there are as many as three to four thousand people on duty, and Niuzhu's army has thousands There are only more than a thousand people under the command of general Wu Ji.
With such a disparity in military strength, within just one stick of incense, the army led by Wu Ji was defeated by the angry Zhang Hongjun, and was forced to close the defense line again and again, so that it was finally surrounded. Under the South City Gate.
Seeing one after another of his soldiers dying in a pool of blood, Wu Jiang's eyes were bloodshot anxiously, but as the saying goes, military orders are like mountains, and general orders that should be fulfilled must still be fulfilled, no matter how heavy the price is.
"Open the city gate! Open the city gate!"
Wu Jiang roared at the top of his lungs as he slashed the enemy soldiers to death one after another with his sword. Although they originally belonged to the Taiping Army, Niu Zhu's army has obviously been expelled from the Taiping Army. This means that his former comrades and Tongze have become enemies, and they are still mortal enemies.
Following the order of the Thousand-Man General Wu Ji, dozens of Niuzhu soldiers worked together to hold down the door bolts behind the two huge door panels of the city gate, and pushed them outwards together.
"Boom¡ª¡ª!"
Amidst the angry scoldings of countless Taiping soldiers, the gate of the south gate of Guangling slowly opened. However, Wu Jiu, the thousand-man general of the Niuzhu Army, did not show any joy in his eyes.
Because there is a moat outside Guangling City. If the city gate suspension bridge cannot be lowered for passage, what will happen even if the city gate is opened?
As for whether the city gate suspension bridge can be lowered smoothly, to be honest, Wu Jiu didn't give the slightest hope.
You know, just to open the city gate, Wu Ji lost more than 300 people. In just one stick of incense, he lost one-third of the more than 1,000 people he led in the sneak attack. At this moment, he In front of them were thousands and tens of thousands of Taiping enemy soldiers.
"Kill over! Seize the wheel lock of the suspension bridge! Don't ask the Niuzhu Army thieves to lower the suspension bridge!"
A general jumped out from among the countless Taiping soldiers, his fingers controlled the wheel lock that raised and lowered the suspension bridge, and he roared sternly. Although the general did not know whether it was Wu Heng's plan or Ku Yang's plan, as a member of the Taiping Army, he naturally would not sit back and watch Niu Zhu's soldiers lower the drawbridge after opening the city gate.
Although the moonlight is still bright today, it is still night after all, and the eyes cannot see far and clearly as well as in the daytime. God knows whether Niuzhu's army colluded with Zhou's army? Who knows if there is a surprise attack by the Zhou army hidden in the darkness outside the city, ready to cooperate inside and outside?
"kill¡ª¡ª!"
Countless angry Taiping soldiers rushed toward Wu Ji's army like a tide, drowning them in an instant. The two armies fought so fiercely that it was hard to imagine that the two armies were friendly forces before today.
And in a remote place about three to five miles away from the South City Gate, on the roofs of several houses, there were several people wrapped in black, half kneeling and half crouching, staring calmly with slightly indifferent eyes. Watching the turmoil in the distance.
Among these men in black, there was only one who looked particularly unsociable. He stood on the roof with his arms folded. His cold eyes scanned the surroundings from time to time, staring coldly at the Taiping troops in the city who were pouring in from all directions towards the south city gate. Guards.
By virtue ofWith the faint moonlight shining on this person, it is not difficult to find that this person is one of the most capable assistants under the commander of the Zhou Army, Xie An, the world's leading assassin, and one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Dongling. Mo Fei.
"Is the target the South City Gate, not the previous West City Gate?" Mo Fei murmured to himself with a slight movement of his lips, then frowned and asked, "The West City Gate is a trick set up by Wu Heng Kuyang Do you really mean that?"
"Yes, three leaders!"
"Beside Mo Fei, Ren Jiu knelt down, cupped his fists and said in a deep voice, "From various signs, Ku Yang inferred that Wu Heng had already known that he had a rebellious intention, and wanted to use this matter to achieve the purpose of severely damaging our army"
Hearing this, Mo Fei frowned slightly and said suspiciously, "You can see how the Taiping Army guards in the city responded to this Didn't the guards at the West City Gate also quickly go to support the South City Gate?"
Ren Jiu lowered his head and remained silent. After all, he was only responsible for bringing Kuyang¡¯s words to Mo Fei. As for Mo Fei¡¯s decision, it was not something he could interfere with. You must know that although the Dongling people are united internally, their class concepts are also quite strict.
And Mo Fei obviously didn't expect that Ren Jiu or the other assassins around him could explain the doubts in his heart. After expressing the doubts in his mind, he thought for a moment and said, "Go! No matter what, we will deal with this matter in time." Sir If you encounter our soldiers on the way, you will be notified first! - Everyone, go!"
"yes!"
"Renjiu, you return to the Kuyang place and protect it. But if Kuyang uses deceit to frame our army, capture it and kill it!"
"yes!"
In an instant, on the roofs, including the roofs of several nearby residential buildings, dozens of black shadows leaped towards the west and south directions, as if they were galloping, as if the jagged roof tiles were a threat to them. It's like flat ground.
As for Mo Fei, he continued to stand where he was, looking towards the south city gate with indifferent eyes.
Perhaps, regardless of whether Ku Yang¡¯s plan changes or not, it actually doesn¡¯t have much impact on Mo Fei, because what he wants to do is actually very simple.
Kill, snipe and kill the leading generals in the Taiping Army as much as possible.
That¡¯s all.
And the first person to bear the brunt was a person's name that suddenly popped into Mo Fei's mind
"After the Five Heavenly Generals, the Military Heavenly General Zhang Hong"
In a calm tone, Mo Fei murmured about this Taiping Army general who appeared several times in Ren Jiu's reports, and a strong murderous intention flashed in Mo Fei's eyes.
"Whoops!"
With a flash of his body, this most terrifying assassin in the world joined the battle.
At the same time, the target that Mo Fei had put on his blacklist for sniping, General Zhang Hong, the fifth general under Wu Heng, the fourth-generation commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army, had already brought many guards with him. He arrived at the west gate and ordered Sun Xu, the guard of the gate, to take most of the guards to the south gate for support.
Of course, it was just a pretense of support. Before Sun Xu set off, Zhang Hong secretly asked the latter to deliberately delay the rescue of the South City Gate on the way, and to return immediately to support once the West City Gate was attacked.
At this time, Zhang Hong would never have imagined that Ku Yang had already seen through the trap set by Wu Heng.
"How is the situation at South City Gate?"
Standing on the wall of the west city gate, Zhang Hong looked in the direction of the south city gate and asked unhurriedly.
"Replying to the general, the messengers have just come to report, and there is still fighting at the south city gate"
"Oh? Are those Niuzhu Army thieves who were feigning an attack still holding on? That's amazing!" Zhang Hong laughed loudly when he heard this, but there was a bit of disdain in his eyes.
No wonder, after all, the reason why Wu Jiu of the Niuzhu Army can rely on the support of more than a thousand people to this day is not only the fact that Wu Jiu and his soldiers fought hard on their own, but more importantly, Zhang Hong secretly ordered those who besieged the South City Gate. The generals reminded them not to rush to kill all Wu Ji's more than a thousand people. As long as they recapture the wheel lock that controls the takeoff and landing of the suspension bridge, it doesn't matter even if the south city gate is wide open. Otherwise, how could Wu Jiu withstand so many Taiping soldiers.
As for why Zhang Hong did this, the reason is simply that Kuyang and the main force of Niuzhu Army under his command have not shown up yet.
"You are so cautious, Kuyang! - Are you still waiting to see how the battle is going? If you continue to wait and see, the thousand-man general named Wu Jiu won't be able to hold on for long" As he said, he asked his confidants, "The South City Gate's How many rebels are left in the Niuzhu Army?"
"About five or six hundred people!"
"Really" Zhang Hong frowned slightly when he heard this.
It has to be said that Kuyang's ability to remain calm was somewhat beyond his expectation. Furthermore, Niuzhu's thousand-man general Wu Ji at the South City Gate knowinglyZhang Hong was a little puzzled that he was just feinting and still resisted and fought despite abandoning his son.
He really couldn't understand how a weak-looking Kuyang could enjoy such a high status in Niuzhu's army, so much so that his subordinates were willing to die even if they were asked to do so.
[Is it because he defeated Li Xian, the Eight Wise King of Zhou Kingdom, several times when he was at Hengjiang, preventing him from taking a step beyond his reach? ]
Zhang Hong secretly guessed. After all, after Ku Yang defeated Li Xian, the Eight Wise King of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in several battles, his reputation in the Taiping Army was indeed incredibly high. Perhaps it was for this reason that Wu Heng had difficulty dealing with this general of the Southern Tang Dynasty. A young general who was born as a descendant, had great achievements in the Taiping Army, and had great abilities.
And at this moment, a hurried news interrupted Zhang Hong's thoughts.
"Report! - The guards at the city gate were attacked by surprise!"
[finally come! ]
Zhang Hong was overjoyed when he heard this and walked towards the city wall in a few steps. Sure enough, while he was idle and bored guessing why the dead sheep could make Niuzhu's army swear allegiance, an army appeared under the gate of the west city gate where he was, and they were fighting with the guards guarding the city gate. However, the two parties seemed to have just come into contact, so the sound of fighting did not startle him from his thoughts.
"As expected, the dead sheep fell into the trap" Zhang Hong felt very happy in his heart. The confusion caused by the delay in the dead sheep's sneak attack suddenly dissipated like smoke. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel extremely sorry for Wu Heng, the leader of the Taiping Army. admire.
After all, this was not a plan that took Ku Yang into account, but Wu Heng subtly induced Ku Yang to become a rebel. This achievement in intelligence and scheming is indeed not something ordinary people can possess.
Raising his right hand, Zhang Hong chuckled and said, "According to the plan, let them open the city gate and let the Zhou army enter the city!" As he said that, he glanced at the places outside the city that were difficult to see. In his opinion, if the dead sheep If they really cooperated with the Zhou army inside and outside to plot Guangling, then the Zhou army's sneak attack troops were lurking not far outside the city at this moment.
Suddenly, Zhang Hong's expression changed slightly, and he stared at the Niu Zhu army who came to attack outside the city gate with an uncertain expression, because he noticed that the number of Niu Zhu army who came to attack was not large, only two or three thousand people.
Although most of the guards at the west gate have been transferred, are the two or three thousand Niuzhu troops alone enough to conquer the gate here? Capture the West Gate, which is still guarded by seven or eight thousand guards?
Zhang Hong doesn¡¯t think Ku Yang is so courageous! Because this is not called courage at all, but meaningless death!
"Good guy" Zhang Hong took a slight breath and licked his lips, with a look of interest in his eyes.
In his opinion, the Niuzhu army that came to attack in the city gate should be a chess piece used by the dead sheep to ask for directions. He wanted to use this to test the true number of guards at the west gate. Or even test whether the place is a trap.
"I was almost deceived by him At such a young age, he is quite scheming!" Zhang Hong chuckled and shook his head.
Ah, according to Wu Heng's clever plan, in fact, the guards on the west, east, and north walls were not really supporting the south gate. Zhang Hong just ordered the generals who led the troops to pretend to support the south gate to walk around the city. Forget it, once Kuyang really leads the main force of Niuzhu's army to take advantage of the lack of troops at the West City Gate to launch a strong attack, these and other armies will immediately rush to the West City Gate, with all sides secured, and wipe out Niuzhu's army in one fell swoop.
Of course, the premise is that after luring the main force of the Zhou army into the city, when the Zhou army thought that their trick had succeeded and swarmed into the city, he opened his jaws and closed the west city gate suspension bridge, then closed the city gate, cutting off the Zhou army's retreat. At that time, the troops from the east, west and north were gathered to surround and kill the Zhou army and the Niuzhu army. With the superior strength and geographical advantages, the Niuzhu army and the Zhou army were like two trapped beasts, trapped alive in the cage of Guangling. middle.
However, now, Kuyang has posed a problem for Zhang Hong.
"What should we do, Lord Heavenly General?"
From the side, a garrison general asked in a low voice.
Zhang Hong frowned when he heard this. Although he wanted Niuzhu's army to kill the guards at the west gate, open the city gate, lower the drawbridge, and welcome the Zhou soldiers lurking outside the city to enter the city, it was even possible for him, Zhang Hong, to help Kuyang secretly. . But now, Kuyang asked the two or three thousand cattle soldiers to throw stones and ask for directions, which stumped Zhang Hong.
After all, no matter what, Zhang Hong could not fake defeat according to Wu Heng's plan when he only had three or two thousand Niuzhu troops to attack. Let alone Ku Yang, no general with any brain would believe it.
"Send the order and stay still!"
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Hong had no choice but to stand still and wait until he had a clear view of the situation before launching an attack.
"The besieging and killing armies on the east, west and north sides"
¡°Didn¡¯t I say to stand still?!¡± Zhang ?He glared at the speaking general in displeasure, and then thought to himself, "Send someone to notify the three armies and order them to slowly approach the west city gate. However, they are not allowed to move without permission before receiving the signal!"
¡°It¡¯s an order!¡±
Glancing at his subordinates who were following the order, Zhang Hong frowned and stared at the two armies fighting under the city.
It is undeniable that the Niuzhu army with only two or three thousand men under the city gate can be said to be heroic in combat. Under the premise that Zhang Hong secretly asked people to deliberately release the water, the more they killed, the more courageous they became. But the problem is that these troops alone , is really not enough to break through the guards at the city gate.
[What on earth is that Kuyang boy thinking? The so-called sneak attack should be carried out vigorously and vigorously. How can there be any reason for such a sneak attack? Or he has seen through Wu Shuai's clever trick? ]
Narrowing his eyes, Zhang Hong¡¯s eyes flashed with a bit of surprise.
"No, no, no, although Kuyang is quite powerful, he is not strong enough to understand Wu Shuai's brilliant strategy!" ¡ª¡ªHe was probably just being cautiousyes, just being cautious! After all, it is a matter of rebellion]
Nodding, Zhang Hong comforted himself secretly and calmly waited for the arrival of the main force of Niuzhu's army.
But this wait lasted for half an hour, just waiting for Zhang Hong to become anxious. But even so, he still didn't dare to move without permission.
But in his heart, he had a vague premonition of something bad.
At this time, under the city, Niuzhu Army general Wang Jian, who was responsible for the sneak attack on the west city gate, was still leading his troops to fight with the guards at the city gate. It's not so much a strong attack or sneak attack, but rather a defense and entanglement, a steady and steady attack. Logically speaking, this tactic should not be used in sneak attacks.
[You can really keep your composure]
While fighting, he took a moment to look up at the tower and saw a strange smile on Wang Jian's lips.
"What time is it?" he asked the guard beside him.
"That's almost it, General!"
"Then" With a strange smile on his lips, Wang Jian glanced at the tower in a joking manner, and suddenly ordered, "The whole army retreats!"
¡°It¡¯s an order!¡±
With a loud shout, the remaining thousands of Niuzhu soldiers retreated like a tide, which shocked the Taiping defenders at the city gate. Zhang Hong, who was on the tower, was even more shocked.
[what happened? Shouldn't the target of the Niuzhu army's attack be the west city gate? Why did they suddenly retreat? ]
Just when Zhang Hong was puzzled, a messenger suddenly rushed over.
"Report! Lord General, something bad happened. The South City Gate was captured! Just now, the traitor Ku Yang personally led the main force of the Niuzhu Army to attack the South City Gate!"
"What?" Zhang Hong's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he immediately asked angrily, "Why didn't the supporting troops at the east, west, and north city gates come to help and just sit back and watch the dead sheep capture the south gate?!"
Including the messenger, the nearby soldiers lowered their heads with fearful expressions on their faces. After a while, someone reminded them in a low voice, "Didn't the General of Heaven just give the order for those troops to approach the west city gate slowly, and not to move other than that?" "
"" Zhang Hong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
[Fell into a trap fooled by that fellow Kuyang! ]
Thinking about it, Zhang Hong is not an idiot. He still doesn't understand what happened now. With his face full of shock, a guess emerged in his mind involuntarily.
"[That dry sheepactually saw through Wu Shuai's clever plan and used it to his advantage? ! ]
"This is bad" Zhang Hong muttered to himself, a layer of cold sweat oozing out of his back.
We must know the strength of the Taiping Army in the city at the moment. Because they plan to ambush the Niuzhu Army and the main force of the Zhou Army, most of them are concentrated in the west and north of the city. However, they did not expect that Kuyang was more skilled and took advantage of the opportunity to capture the South Gate. If the Zhou army attacks Guangling from the south gate at this moment, how can the Taiping army in the city resist it?
The best situation is that half of the city will be lost in an instant.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hong picked up his weapon, turned around and ran down the stairs on the city wall, saying urgently, "Quick! Send the order quickly, and the whole army will rescue the south gate. Don't ask the Zhou soldiers to have one soldier." Fight into the city!"
However, at this moment, Zhang Hong suddenly heard a whisper.
"found it¡¡"
The cold tone made Zhang Hong subconsciously feel a chill on his back, as if he was being targeted by a venomous snake and beast.
Stopping suddenly, Zhang Hong slowly turned around and saw a rather handsome man squatting on the inner wall of the city wall, looking at him with indifferent eyes.
[Assassin? ]
Looking at the black attire of the visitor, Zhang Hong squinted his eyes subconsciously.
"There are assassins! "
"Protect the Lord Heavenly General!"
The surrounding Taiping soldiers seemed to have just seen the person coming, and they all drew their blades to kill the assassin. However, in just a short moment, more than ten people were killed by the opponent with weird iron rope sickle blades.
¡°Is that you?¡ª¡ªThe general behind the five generals of the Taiping Army, Zhang Hong!¡±
"" As if he had a premonition of something, Zhang Hong swallowed his saliva and clenched the weapon tightly with his trembling right hand, with a look of deep fear in his eyes. (To be continued.
