Chapter 804: The Battle of Luoyang (4)
The Hushi under the car is a special type of military unique to the land of Sanwu, and has always been the private garrison of the princes and kings of Wu in the past dynasties, but the two emperors of Huan Ling are not leafy, and it is naturally impossible to divide the king of Wu, so such an elite army actually fell to the people, and was also enveloped by the Marquis of Hefei to the tent.
The leader of this generation of Chexia Hushi is named He Hui, and at this moment he is lying in the darkness under the city, quietly observing the movement on the city wall. Although there are locusts shooting down from time to time, but there are sword and shield soldiers to protect them, but they don't have to worry about their own safety, and judging from the density of arrows shot, it seems that there are not many defenders above.
He Hui was fascinated by it, and his youngest son He Qi came up from behind him and whispered in his ear: "Father, it's better for us to climb the city with a hook, as long as we can open the city gate, Luoyang City will be counted." ”
Although He Hui has three sons, but those two are not very successful, only this young son Wen Taowu is still good, so he always takes him by his side and mentions his face, hoping to train him into a generation of famous generals. Although he agreed with his son's suggestion, He Hui shook his head slightly: "The enemy we faced this time was extremely cunning and sinister, and our army suffered huge losses. Now we don't know what is real in the city, so it's better not to act rashly, so as not to fall into the trap. ”
He Qi was young, and he always had some unique ideas about everything, but since his father said so, he could only nod his head and say yes. Just a little unwilling, He Qi saw a dark red lantern suddenly poking out of the arrow hole under the side of the city wall, still shaking rhythmically in the air.
He Qi immediately told his father about his discovery, since He Hui could lead the elite car tigers, he was naturally a close person around the Marquis of Hefei, and he recognized it at a glance as a code from Xu You. He stared at the arrow hole without blinking, until the dark red lantern disappeared into the darkness again, and then ordered his subordinates to stay on guard, but he retreated and reported to the Marquis of Hefei.
In the flickering of torches around him, Hefei Hou's face looked a little cloudy, and he muttered for a while and said to He Hui: "Xu Yu let us go west?" However, the Pingcheng Gate and the Kaiyang Gate are both located in the east, and we do not take the city gate, but what do we do to the west? ”
Kan Ze said: "Xu Ziyuan is far-reaching, this move must have deep meaning, why don't I take someone to the west to investigate before making a decision." ”
Hefei Hou said: "I have traveled to and from Luoyang many times, I have always walked to the east of the two city gates, I have never been to the west to see, anyway, they make the crash wood and ladders for a while, it is better for all of us to go to the west to walk, to see what Xu Yu means." ”
The Chinese army of the Marquis of Hefei only moved, and there was already a lookout to report that Qiuming, Qiuming exclaimed: "They went west? Could it be that they had noticed the loopholes in those two small doors and were ready to attack from there? ”
Chen Gong said: "Since they have all gone, let's also go to the vicinity of Xiaoyuanmen and Jinmen to have a look, the so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, we must see their movements clearly, so that we can come up with corresponding countermeasures." Qiu Ming said deeply, and took the others to the west, leaving only Zhang He to defend at Kaiyang Gate.
He ordered all the soldiers to retreat to the stone steps under the wall, take off their armor and restore their strength, leaving only a small number of auxiliaries on duty, so the torches on this section of the city wall slowly dimmed.
He Qi was asked by his father to stay in the city, and suddenly saw the silence of the people above, and the lights gradually faded, and guessed that Qiu Ming and the others were only afraid that they were led away by the main formation of the Marquis of Hefei. He was immediately overjoyed, and immediately ordered the tiger warrior to prepare to climb the city.
An old lieutenant said: "Now that Commander He is not here, and he also told us to wait for him to come back before leaving, so the young general should not act rashly now, right?" ”
He Qi pointed to the darkness on the city and said: "Soldiers are like flowing water, the way to use soldiers is to adapt to changes, and now the enemy army has obviously been led away by our Chinese army, why don't you take the opportunity to steal into the city?" Seeing that the captain was still about to speak, he clapped his hands with a smile and said: "I know what you're worried about, but our three Wu men are all good men, and the tiger soldiers under the car are the elite of the elite, I only take three hundred people to steal the city, it is good to be able to succeed, and if I can't succeed, it won't bring too much loss to our army." ”
The captain's face changed, the loss of three hundred people was nothing, but if the young general was trapped in the city, he would definitely not be spared when He Hui came back. The lieutenant rolled his eyes and said: "In this case, the young general is sitting under the city, and this credit will be given to his subordinates." ”
He Qi said: "My father is the commander, I will not fight to the death, who of the armies is willing to move forward?" There is no need to discuss this matter again, you are here to watch the enemy for me, and if I succeed, you must immediately bring someone up to meet me. Seeing that he was resolute, the lieutenant had no choice but to clench his fists and agree.
He Qi personally ordered three hundred elite soldiers, each with a hook rope iron grasp, carrying a short blade, and slowly climbed up along the gap in the city bricks. Although their movements were very light, the sound of iron grasping and the collision of city bricks still clearly reached Zhang He's ears. Zhang He didn't make a sound, just made a few gestures to his subordinates, so the halberd who had just retreated to the bottom of the steps quietly went up the city wall again.
Luoyang is the city where the Son of Heaven lives, and it is naturally a few strong cities in the world, the city wall alone is as high as four or five zhang, and the wall is densely covered with arrow holes, if it is not for the lack of troops in the city, if these arrow holes are all together, there is almost no place to stand people under the city.
He Qi carefully climbed upwards as he observed the arrow holes that passed, and found that they were all empty. He couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, it seems that he may really be able to take Luoyang tonight, and maybe he can become famous all over the world because of it.
One zhang, two zhang, three zhang, seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the city, He Qi's heart became tighter and tighter, and his breathing became a little short. He stepped on an arrow hole, raised the hook in his hand, and was about to throw it towards the city, when suddenly the fire on the city was bright, and many figures appeared, and at the same time there was a chorus in unison: "Hello T He Qi was so taken aback that he almost fell into the city through the arrowhole.
It turned out that this day was beating around, the city wall was crowded with officials and soldiers and all kinds of idlers watching the excitement, and the square dance aunts who had long been accustomed to dancing before going to bed had no venue for activities, but they did not dare to argue with the soldiers with bright knives and guns, so they had to hide aside and sulk. When they saw Tyumen leading people away, and there were no torches in this section of the city wall, they were really overjoyed, and immediately called friends to gather the team, grabbed the territory and began the day's drills, but they scared He Qi enough.
