Chapter 703: Attacking Xiao County
This Wang Da and the others are the scouts sent by Gan Ning. These people were all newly recruited by Guan Yu in Xuzhou. It was originally between Huaisi, and Xuzhou and Peiguo were next to each other. If these scouts want to learn from Peiguo's words, it is not easy to capture.
first deceived the fishermen, and then fooled the Huang military officials. Finally able to enter the city. After entering the city, Wang Da and his group began to look left and right. The other fishermen were not surprised. Many people are entering the city for the first time, and they are like this.
Some people even smiled and said: "Wang Da, I heard that you have no wife at home, and you will sell fish later, I will take you to a good place." Hearing this, the guys who were covered with fishy smell and barefoot in the left side all burst into laughter. There was also an aftertaste in his expression, and he didn't know what he remembered.
Wang Daxin said, Naigong pinned his head to the waistband of his trousers and came to do this big thing, how could he go with you to find a prostitute? So he responded with a smile: "There is an old mother at home, who is sick in bed, but the money from selling fish is used to buy medicine, and I can't accompany a few brothers to play." ”
Hearing this, some people said that it was a pity, and some people said that Wang Da was filial. chatting all the way, they arrived at the barracks in the city. Huang went in and told the fishermen to wait outside.
Wang Da led people to hide behind, and kept looking around.
After a while, Huang Junguan came out again, brought a cart of money out, and divided the money while passing the scales. When the king had the money, he said goodbye to the people. Disappear into the city.
On the second day of selling fish, someone saw Wang Da and his group, and there were a few more fresh faces, and they couldn't help but be curious: "Wang Da, what about the previous ones?" ”
Wang Da smiled honestly: "If there is something at home, I changed a few township parties." ”
A few days later, there was another change. However, as Wang Da spent more and more time here, no one asked. After all, everyone is making a living, who has the leisure to care who you bring to sell fish?
A month later, Gan Ning and Wen Ping sent troops.
On this night, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, and the earth was covered with a veil of dust and silver. Outside Xiao County, looking carefully, in the darkness in the distance, there were many figures, and Gan Ning led 5,000 soldiers and lay outside the city. Looking at the fortified city in front of him in the moonlight.
At the head of the city, at the battlements, there was a bonfire in the brazier, and the soldiers patrolling the defense walked back and forth. Gan Ning said in his heart, this guard is cautious, not mediocre!
On the other side, Wen Ping also lay quietly in the dark. Start recuperating.
In a private house in the city, Wang Da gathered a group of people and said in a low voice: "Say it again, have you kept the target in mind?" ”
Seeing that everyone nodded, Wang Da clapped his fist and said, "In this way, let's act." If Xiao County goes down, it will be a great achievement, and it will not take us to wait for more than a month to lurk here. ”
The people received the order and went out quietly. After a while, he disappeared into the night.
On this night, the breeze was light, the insects did not chirp, the dogs did not bark, and it was very quiet. But on such a sleepy night, a fire suddenly lit up in a place in the city. Then the glimmer of fire, gradually expanding, turned into a raging flame.
Then, when the gong sounded, the gentry and the patrolman shouted, "The water is gone!" Walk the water! ”
While the people were scrambling to put out the fire, another fire broke out. The captain who patrolled the night led the crowd to put out the fire, and then began to pacify the people. As a result, several people came to report that there were fires in all four cities. The captain was shocked when he heard this, and no matter how slow he reacted, he knew that someone was making trouble.
So he hurriedly ordered: "Quickly go to the county order and the general to report the matter." The rest will come with me, and if you see anyone who is strange or takes advantage of the fire along the way, you will kill them! ”
The crowd roared in response.
The lieutenant led his men and horses to the nearest place where the fire started. Halfway through, a soldier suddenly came rushing forward, shouting as he went: "Captain Ding, it's not good! ”
The lieutenant heard someone shouting to him, and he didn't suspect him, so he stopped and said, "What's wrong?" ”
The soldier rushed to the nearest place, and said, "Captain Ding......" While shaking his hand, a sword popped out of his sleeve and stabbed the captain in the throat.
This time, it was ruthless and vicious, and no one reacted. The lieutenant stabbed a sword in his throat, a hiss in his mouth, his hands clutched to his throat, and his eyes fixed on the assassin, wanting to say something, but unable to say anything.
When everyone saw the captain hit the sword, they couldn't help but be shocked, and they clamored to kill the assassin in front of them. The assassin smiled, but took advantage of the chaos to roll a few times, and rolled into the darkness beside him.
Such a situation is staged everywhere in the whole city of Xiao County. Anyone who commanded the firefighting was attacked, some died on the spot, and some escaped by luck. The scene of the fire was in chaos.
By the time the county commander and the generals of the garrison in the city were dispatched, the city was already on fire and in chaos.
At this time, Gan Ning outside the city saw the fire in the city, and couldn't help jumping up from the ground, and said loudly: "Second and third sons, follow me!" So he took his troops in his hands and leaped forward in this field.
The general of the garrison in the city and the county commander glanced at each other, and the county commander arched his hand and said: "General Cao, the fire in the city must have been done by a spy." If so, there will be an enemy outside the city. The fire in the city belongs to me, but the enemy in the city belongs to the general! ”
When the general surnamed Cao heard this, he said: "Yes! ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard the shouts of killing outside the city. The face of the general surnamed Cao changed, and he said to the county order: "All the things in the city will be entrusted to the king." I'll go too. Then he beat his horse and went to the city.
But it turned out that this king acted on orders, pretended to be a fishmonger, and brought his subordinates to sell fish. Every time I entered the city, a few people were left behind. Although there are armies and government offices in the city, it is relatively easy for scouts to find a place to hide.
In this way, the fish that had been sold for a month also lurked in the city with more than 100 scouts. With more than 100 internal responses, Gan Ning discussed with Wen Ping and could do it. So they agreed on an hour, and raised their troops to come by night.
And the king of the city, knowing that his army was coming tonight, decisively set fire to the city at the appointed hour, causing a riot, and assassinating the officials.
In Xiao County, the fire in the city continued, and the Han army outside the city was paving the ladder. The situation is extremely dangerous.
Under the city, Gan Ning's eyes were blazing, staring at the city. When he saw where Cao's army appeared, he made the archers of the Han army shoot it. When the first ladder was built, Gan Ning pulled away the sergeant and climbed up first.
Encouraged by this, the archers inflicted a stormy assault on the head of the city where the ladder was erected, in order to cover the arrival of their generals.
At the head of the city, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and when the general surnamed Cao led the troops, Gan Ning finally climbed to the top of the city.
Gan Ning laughed, jumped forward with the knife, and stabbed a Cao Jun in the stomach, and then the knife knob swirled, stirring up the intestines of this Cao Jun, and then pulled the knife out to find the next target.
In an instant, Gan Ning killed more than a dozen people in a row, killing Cao Jun and retreating. At this moment, an angry shout came: "Dog thief, take your life!" ”
