Chapter 8: The Surprise Attack on Gaochang (2)
Fortunately, Lu You quickly gave Duan Ye an answer, "We have to control the city gate first, as long as the city gate is in our hands, we will not be afraid when the army enters the city." If there is no problem in the city, then take over the government office, and if there is a problem, stick to it and wait for help. ”
Duan Ye's eyes lit up suddenly, what Lu You said was right, the most important thing in ancient siege was the city gate, as long as the city gate was controlled, everything was under control, and the city gate was so big, it was not difficult to defend it. As soon as Lu Guang's army arrived, the big thing was decided.
Thinking of this, Duan Yedun felt that he was still a lot worse than the people of this era, the ancients never lacked wisdom, and what he was better than them was only the memory of history. Especially this Lu You, who is strong in martial arts, kills people like hemp, is ruthless, and his opinions in all aspects are also unusual, Duan Ye has to be vigilant!
After all, Duan Ye would not be naïve to think that people didn't mind at all.
"However, there are nine gates in Gaochang City, in my opinion, let's control the west gate first." Duan Ye thought about it, but still thought that something so coincidental would not happen. Besides, with 500 people now, it is impossible to take over several doors at the same time in a big circle.
Lu You thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so he nodded in agreement.
The two agreed, and the 500 cavalry accelerated towards Gaochang City.
Halfway through, Duan Ye suddenly smiled and asked, "Hey, you say, the city gate is wide open and looks calm, could it be a trick?" Will there be an ambush in Gaochang City? ”
Lu You bent the corners of his mouth disdainfully, "Is there any, it's all the same, I only know that we have knives." ”
Duan Ye laughed, and the two of them whipped their horses a few times at the same time, leading the green horse to speed away.
A chief by the city gate was squatting in the corner to pick his teeth, and the two soldiers under his command were standing guard with spears in their hands, and the captain stretched his waist and said, "You two are staring at it, I'll go back for a while, I have something to say." ”
"Yes."
But before the chief of the army entered the small shack next to the doorway, he saw a puff of smoke and dust in the west, although the chief was usually lazy, he had also fought in the end, and quickly lay on the ground, and listened with his ears, sure enough, there was the sound of horses' hooves!
"How can there be cavalry in this west?" Shi Chang is a little dazed, now that the Great Qin country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the world is powerful, which one has eaten the courage of the ambitious leopard and dares to attack the border city of Great Qin?
However, in any case, now there are no soldiers in Gaochang City, the city gate is wide open, careless, and the city gate guard is not there, Wu Chang was about to order the city gate to be closed quickly, but he saw a blue and white flag in the distance, which was the military flag of the Di people!
"Whew, my own people." Nash Chang breathed a sigh of relief and said to the group of soldiers who were looking west with their necks stretched, "Okay, don't worry, that's our own army!" ”
"Oh~~~~~" The soldiers broke out into a small cheer. In the past 20 years, the Great Qin army has been invincible, although they are only garrisons, but the military power also has their share, right?
However, before there was time to cheer, the cavalry had already rushed to the city gate, Shi Chang took down his hat, and was about to step forward, in front of these military masters, to see if there was any chance, but the galloping cavalry seemed to have arrived at the city gate and still did not stop dismounting, Shi Chang was standing by the city gate at this time, and the road was still a little blocked!
Lu You is not welcome, where would he put a little Shi Chang in his eyes, as soon as the horse whip was flicked, Shi Chang had an extra blood mark on his face, and he was beaten and rolled on the ground a few times.
"You guys?" Shi Chang was shocked and angry, and was about to go crazy, but he saw "whoosh", three arrows were shot, and they happened to pass by his body, and the shaft of the arrow was still trembling when it was pierced into the ground.
"On the orders of the special envoy and the governor of the Western Regions, Lord Lu, to take over Gaochang, don't do too much!" Duan Ye reined in his horse beautifully, turned around and said. At this time, several knights quickly dismounted and disarmed all the guards who were at the gate of the city.
Lu You is even more commanding Ruoding, the soldiers of the city gate tower, the arrow tower, the battlement tower and other places, many of them still sleep soundly with knives, and it can be said that the soldiers are not bloody. The blue-white banner, the one-color equipment of the Great Qin Army, is their identity can not be doubted, Lu Guang's order arrow was revealed, and the city gate guards who were dragged out of the bed had to bow their heads.
Next, Lü You left 100 people to watch the city gate, and agreed with Duan Ye that Lü You would go to the government to take over the official office, and Duan Ye would lead his troops to the east gate, just in case.
Speaking of which, of course, it is easy to take over the official office, and I have already asked clearly at the city gate, and the garrison does not need to be coerced at all, so I said that Gaochang is too guarded by Yang Han, and he is not in the city at all!
As a Taishou, one party is in charge, and he is not in the city, so his whereabouts are simply about to come out, and he can only go to Guzang! I went to discuss with Liangzhou Thorn Shi Liang Xi.
Duan Ye immediately decided, now that Yang Han has been gone for almost half a month, it is likely that he should come back, and now that he has taken over the official office, there is no one there at all, so there is no need to worry at all, but if Yang Han has not come back, he must not let him come back, what he is most afraid of is that he is already very close to Gaochang, or he is simply entering the city, then the matter will be troublesome!
He must be stopped!
Lu You agreed with Duan Ye's idea, so the two went their separate ways. Duan Ye didn't care about anything else, and took the 200 green horses assigned to him by Lu You through the main street of Gaochang and headed towards the east gate of Gaochang City at full speed.
Along the way, Duan Ye prayed all the way, Yang Han's old man, Gu Zangcheng is fine, don't you say that, Jin Zhangye Yinwuwei, you just stay there, what is good about Gaochang, don't come back to hinder my affairs.
Compared to the rest of the Western Regions, Gaochang City is much quieter. Due to its early submission, it was directly incorporated into the local governance system of the Qin Empire, and is now no different from the county towns in the interior. It's been a while before the city's bazaar opens, and there aren't many people on the streets, and the shops aren't open.
Even so, hundreds of fierce horsemen galloped through the streets, which still attracted a lot of discussion from passers-by, but they were very clever, and when they saw the cavalry charging as if they were in a no-man's land, they hid on the side of the road with great interest.
"Whose soldier is this? Don't you care? The passer-by was splashed with dust, and pointed at the group of knights with indignation and scolded.
"This doesn't seem to be a soldier defending the city, I'm afraid I can't control it if it's too guarded." Passerby B gloated.
Duan Ye couldn't control their discussions, and he didn't have time to worry about them. , only know to accelerate, accelerate, accelerate. Finally, the eastern gate has fallen into view!
The gates of the city were wide open, the soldiers were not ready for battle, and it seemed that everything was in time.
Duan Ye laughed, but soon he couldn't laugh!
