Chapter 683: Trap

Seeing He Gang go out of the camp with three thousand wolf soldiers in the moonlight, Du Yinxi was silent for a moment, and then called the chief soldier Wang Shicai, and gave a detailed order.

Wang Shicai nodded heavily, and led a large group of men and horses out of the camp, but did not follow the pace of the wolf soldiers and went straight to the south gate of Yueyang City, but turned and went east.

He Gang and Wang Shicai each led their troops out of the camp, and the camp suddenly became empty, the torches on the wall jumped brightly, and the occasional drum beat soon became lonely and silent.

It didn't take long for Yueyang City not far away to suddenly shout and kill, and Du Yinxi sneered and ordered all the torches in the camp to be extinguished, and the entire camp fell into darkness in an instant.

In a forest two miles away from the south side of the camp, Bai Wenxuan frowned when he saw the Ming army camp suddenly plunged into darkness.

"Have you checked clearly, how many Ming troops are there who are out of the camp and attacking the city?" Bai Wenxuan asked in a deep voice.

"There are more shadows in the shadows, it's not easy to count, and the brothers don't dare to get too close, the Ming army is divided into two batches out of the camp, with a total strength of about 10,000." The captain of the sentry on the side said.

More than 10,000 people! The total strength of the Ming army was more than 20,000 and less than 30,000, which means that only half of the army attacked the city. However, in order to confuse the Ming army, there were less than 3,000 defenders in Yueyang City, and it was not small for the Ming army to send half of the army to attack the city.

However, why did the Ming army camp suddenly fall into darkness? Bai Wenxuan frowned puzzled.

If he found his own hidden army, how could the Ming army commander Du Yinxi order the siege of the city? Then why was it ordered to turn out all the lights? Bai Wenxuan looked at Yueyang City, which was fighting in the distance, and sneered after thinking for a while.

Extinguishing the lights made the western army in the city mistakenly think that the Ming army was pouring out, so as to exert pressure, and the plug Yinxi was really cunning!

"Governor, do you want to attack the Ming army camp immediately?" The subordinate general on the side asked in a low voice.

Bai Wenxuan shook his head: "Don't worry, now is Yueyang's brother feigning the gentry civil strife, opening the city gate, and when the Ming army enters the city, there will be a more fierce battle, and when the attacking Ming army falls into the trap, it will be the time for us to attack the Ming army camp!" ”

The Ming army besieging the city fell into an ambush, and the large camp was suddenly attacked, and it was inevitable that it would be completely defeated. Annihilated the 30,000 Ming army in one blow and stabilized the rear for the Huguang army, so that the resting general Zhang Dingguo could send troops to attack Jiujiang without any worries.

......

At the south gate of Yueyang Mansion, He Gang led three thousand wolf soldiers to approach the city gate, hiding in the darkness a mile away.

He Gang quickly approached the city gate with his subordinates, and as soon as he came to the city, the city gate was opened, and with countless torches, he saw the corpses lying on the ground in the chaos of the city gate, and Feng Yuan, the gentry of Yueyang, rushed out of the city gate with a sharp blade covered in blood, shouting at the approaching Ming army.

"Brother Feng, why is this?" Looking at the blood stains on Feng Yuan's body, He Gang couldn't bear to say.

"Brother He, is the Lord of the Soldiers coming?" Feng Yuan grabbed the steel knife, looked at He Gang and the soldiers behind He Gang, and hurriedly asked.

"It's not suitable for a civil official, just have a brother, I'll do it for you." He Gang said with a smile.

Feng Yuan's expression showed a hint of disappointment, and then he covered it up again, and hurriedly urged, "I have already opened the city gate with my family, Brother He, let's bring people into the city, it will be too late for the thief army to react!" ”

He Gang smiled and nodded, "There is Brother Lao Feng." With a wave of his hand, hundreds of wolf soldiers rushed into the open gate and slaughtered the city.

"Brother He, let's go into the city together." Feng Yuan hurriedly said.

He Gang smiled and shook his head, "The body of the daughter is not in danger, let's wait until the brothers occupy the city gate." ”

"That, that ......" Feng Yuan's eyes rolled quickly, he didn't expect that Du Yinxi didn't come in person, and this He Gang would not enter the city easily, so the plan to trap and kill the important ministers of the Ming army would be frustrated.

"Then Brother He is now watching the battle at this city gate, and I will take my family members into the city again to lead the way for the army." Feng Yuan picked up the knife and was about to return to the city.

"Brother Feng stays!" He Gang waved his hand, and several soldiers held up swords and guns to block Feng Yuan's way.

"Brother He, ...... you," Feng Yuan asked in surprise.

"I remember that Brother He didn't even dare to kill a chicken before, but I didn't expect that I hadn't seen him for a while, and I dared to kill people with a knife, but since I came with a large army, how can I let Brother He do such a thing, and put the knife down, and our brothers can watch the battle." He Gang said with a smile.

When Feng Yuan was about to say more, a steel knife suddenly landed on his neck, and then the knife in his hand was easily snatched away by a soldier.

"Brother He!" Feng Yuan exclaimed and sat on the ground, at this time he didn't understand where he didn't understand, He Gang had already seen his flaws!

Two thousand wolf soldiers rushed into the wide open city gate and entered the city, who would have thought that there was a city gate behind the city gate, and it turned out to be an urn city.

With a "bang", the jack gate suddenly fell, cutting off the inside and outside, and also cutting off He Gang and Feng Yuan's line of sight. The remaining thousand wolf soldiers behind He Gang suddenly clamored!

"Brother Feng, can you explain to me what's going on?" He Gang asked coldly.

Feng Yuan's lips trembled, where could he still speak.

"What the hell is going on, Lord He?" Long Ao, the son of Yongshun Xuanfu Si Tusi, walked up to He Gang with a gloomy face and asked.

The two thousand wolf soldiers who had just entered the city were all his subordinates, and now they were all trapped in the city, making Long Ao furious.

"General Long, we've been tricked! It was this person who sent a letter to Lord Bingxian, saying that he would open the city gate from the inside and let us into the city, who knew that such a thing had happened. It must be that this person colluded with the thief army and set up an ambush to lure our army into being fooled! He Gang pointed at Feng Yuan and shouted at Long Ao.

"Bastard, isn't that so?" Long Ao grabbed Feng Yuan's chest and lifted it up, and asked sharply.

Looking at the fierce appearance of the cross-dressed strong man in front of him, Feng Yuan's body was like a sifting chaff, his strands trembled, where could he speak.

"Bastard!" Long Ao slammed Feng Yuan to the ground with one hand, and with the other hand, he pulled out the knife, the cold light flashed, and a stream of blood shot up.

"Lord Ho, I'm going to go into the city to rescue my brothers!" Listening to the shouts of killing in the city, Long Ao's eyes were red, it was his brothers who were being killed by the thief army!

"General Long, don't worry, now we only have a thousand people left, and we don't have any siege equipment, how can we attack the city? However, Lord Bingxian had already sent General Wang Shicai to lead his troops to attack the East Gate, originally to contain the attention of our army. We can lead our troops to merge with General Wang's troops and attack the east gate together. He Gang hurriedly persuaded.

Looking at the tall Yueyang City Wall, Long Ao's face changed, and he finally nodded.
