Chapter 355: Clever Tricks
When Sha Dingzhou heard this, he suddenly dragged the messenger off his horse, and said in a deep voice: "You said Kunming...... Not Kunyang? ”
The messenger trembled and said: "Back to the general mansion, yesterday General Du was broken by the official army in the east of Kunming, and his subordinate Gu Yuhua and others opened the city and surrendered......"
Sha Dingzhou's hands also trembled, Kunming is the core of Yunnan, and he dares to call himself the "General Mansion" precisely because of Kunming.
He looked at Chen Changming with a cold gaze, "Didn't you say that the main force of the official army is still in Qujing?" ”
"This ......" Chen Changming was stunned on the spot, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The messenger hurriedly said: "The general mansion, the attack on Kunming is the vanguard team of the official army, only 4,000 people......
"Du Qifei, this waste!" Sha Dingzhou threw the messenger on the ground, and was so angry that his muscles jumped, "Eight thousand defenders were taken by four thousand people!" ”
Chen Changming glanced at the messenger gratefully, and hurriedly said to Sha Dingzhou: "Lord of the General Mansion, now you should take Chuxiong as soon as possible to stabilize the morale of the army." Then, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the imperial court had not arrived, based on Chuxiong, he cooperated with General Tie's Lin'an soldiers and horses to attack Kunming. There are only 4,000 officers and troops in the city of Kunming, and it is not difficult to take it. ”
"Yes, hit Chuxiong first." Sha Dingzhou glared at the "wood" banner on the city and shouted, "Order the whole army, and the four gates will attack at the same time!" I'm going to see the head of the Mulberry tonight! ”
"Subordinates obey!"
Sha Dingzhou did not dare to retain his strength at this time, and his own troops were thrown into the siege together with Lu trillions of men and horses.
Mu Yan looked at the note in his hand in the arrow tower at the head of the city, the handwriting on it was beautiful, and it was written: When the sand thieves arrive, the second brother only responds to his kind words, and prevaricates with the chaos in the city, lack of salary, mobs, plagues, etc., and tries to delay the time as much as possible. At this time, His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King was in the most urgent situation, and Chu Xiong spent one more day to reach thousands of soldiers and horses.
He smiled and shook his head, his second sister really had a lot of "ghost ideas", and Sha Dingzhou was really bluffed like this for several days.
Suddenly, a soldier entered the house and reported, "My lord, the Shadingzhou Department has blocked the four gates, and the siege ordnance is close to the city." ”
I can't get it fooled. Mu Yan got up and ordered his officers to divide up, and when everyone left, he hurriedly took out a bag from his body and opened it.
When he led his army to leave Lijiang, Mu Zhiqing handed him three tips and ordered him to dismantle them separately when he saw Sha Dingzhou, Sha Dingzhou attacking the city, and Sha Dingzhou retreating.
There is still a note in the bag, which reads: If the sand thieves attack Chuxiong, the second brother should disperse the military funds, and recruit the strong people in the city to defend the city in the name of the Duke of Qian, and the Duke of Qianguo will not be angry afterwards. If it is really critical, he will pretend to surrender, and when the thieves retreat, he will still defend the city.
Mu Yan immediately ordered people to post the secret order of "Qianguo Gong" everywhere in the city, inviting the people of Chuxiong to join the thieves of the country, and those who contributed to defend the city were rewarded with three taels of silver, and there was another pension for the disabled.
Mu Tianbo's prestige in Yunnan is extremely high, and the people in the city saw that the prince of Qianguo had money to take, so they all enthusiastically signed up to defend the city against the enemy. In less than half a day, four thousand were strong.
Mu Yan took out the 30,000 taels of silver sent by Sha Dingzhou the day before yesterday to reward the soldiers, and the momentum in the city was like a rainbow, vowing to fight to the death with the sand thieves, that is, women and children came to help deliver meals or carry the equipment to defend the city.
The battle lasted until dark, and Shadingzhou's headquarters were never able to set foot on the first half step of Chuxiong City.
By the next day, Sha Dingzhou, who could not see Mu Yan's head, was furious and ordered his Black Armor Army to also enter the siege. These people are the elites he has cultivated for many years, and they will never be wasted on siege unless they have to.
To say that the Black Armor Army is indeed extremely powerful, one by one they are not afraid of death, stepping on the corpses of their companions and climbing up the city. By the time of dinner, two or three hundred men had attacked the north wall, and Mu Yan himself led his soldiers to resist it, but they were killed and retreated, and saw that there were more and more enemy troops at the head of the city.
Sha Dingzhou was also distressed when he saw that although his men attacked the city, they had killed a lot of black armor soldiers. At this moment, he saw several horsemen rushing out of the city, holding white flags high in their hands.
He was overjoyed when he saw this, accepted the surrender table, made Ming Jin withdraw his troops, and then entered the city with the whole team.
But unexpectedly, when the other horses withdrew to the city, they still didn't see the gate of Chuxiong open for a long time, and Chen Changming said cautiously on the side: "Lord of the General Mansion, this kid Mu Yan is afraid that he will deceive ...... again."
"Fuck it!" Sha Dingzhou tore the descending table to pieces and threw it on the ground with all his might, intending to make people attack again, but when he saw that the sky was already dark, he had to give up.
Early the next morning, the army of Shadingzhou attacked the city again. After a night of repair, Mu Yan no longer has the decline of yesterday, and he also led the army to fight to the death.
When the battle between the two sides was in full swing, Chen Changming suddenly ran into the camp tent of Shadingzhou in a hurry, and said in a panic: "Lord of the General Mansion, the big thing is not good, Lu Trillion led his men and horses back to Dongchuan." ”
"What?!" Sha Dingzhou stood up and wondered, "He, is he going to betray me?" ”
Before his words fell, Lu Trillion subordinates rushed to see Sha Dingzhou, and only said with a bitter face: "My lord also asks the general government to forgive me, I got an urgent report from Dongchuan last night, saying that the six thousand troops of the imperial court set off from Qujing to the north, and it is less than a hundred miles away from Dongchuan.
"My family was afraid that something would be wrong in the family, so I had to lead my troops to rescue him."
Sha Dingzhou inquired carefully and learned that Lu Trillion was worried that he would not let him go, so he quietly led the army to leave last night, and there were only more than 100 people left in his camp at this time.
Sha Dingzhou brought a total of 16,000 people from Chu Xiong this time, and Lu Yuan lost nearly 4,000 people this time, and the pressure on Mu Yan's side to defend the city was suddenly greatly reduced.
"Without his surname Lu, take Chu Xiong like Lao Tzu!"
Sha Dingzhou's eyes were about to split, and he was about to make Chen Changming step up the siege of the city, when another horse came from afar and handed over a letter box to Chen Changming.
The latter took out the letter and glanced at it, and immediately his face was like ashes, and he presented the letter to Sha Dingzhou, and said in a dry voice: "Mu Tianbo did not continue to go to Wang Nong Mountain, but turned to Lin'an ...... halfway."
Sha Dingzhou's hands trembled when he heard this, but he didn't catch the secret report.
How did Mu Tianbo, a guy who never knew how to fight, become so cunning? He was bitter in his heart, he had been too light on the enemy before, why didn't he leave some defenders in Lin'an?
Lin'an is the west gate of Ami, and it is also the closest road from Chuxiong to Amizhou. If you lose this city, even if you take Chuxiong by yourself, if you want to return to Ah Mi or Wang Nong Mountain, you have to go around a big circle from the south side of Xishan, a journey of nearly 1,000 miles.
He sat back on the chair in a dejected manner, hesitated for a long time, and finally waved his hand weakly and said: "Order, the whole army will return to Ami." ”
Mu Yan only felt that the enemy's offensive was getting weaker and weaker, and he was also puzzled, and then a horse from outside the city returned to report that the sand thief brigade had slowly retreated, and only less than a thousand people were still feintting.
Mu Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, it seems that Chu Xiong has been saved, and he can be regarded as living up to his father's trust.
He immediately remembered that the second sister still had a bag left, and he said that he would watch it when he retired from Shadingzhou. He hurriedly opened the bag and took out the note, but found that unlike the previous two, there was only one sentence on the paper. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
