Chapter 166: Attacking the Replacement County (4)
Early the next morning, the gate of Daijun City opened, and Zheng Shuping led the convoy of grain to come out of Daijun Town, only to see the figure moving in the distance, gradually getting closer, and on a carriage headed by Li Yinghong was standing. I saw that she was dressed in a military uniform, with swords diagonally inserted on the left and right behind her back, but she didn't wear a helmet, her long hair was tied in a men's bun, and a red ribbon was tied up, which looked heroic and sassy, and she had a heroic beauty.
Although he didn't count them, Zheng Shuping could also see that Li Yinghong did only bring more than 300 people, and there were only five carriages in total, but there was only one person on each chariot, and the vehicles were covered with linen, probably with Li Yinghong's belongings, after all, when he entered the city to settle down, he also had to bring some daily necessities, and the rest of the people were all infantry.
Therefore, Zheng Shuping also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Li Yinghong did come as promised. And this thing has really been done, and he has made a great contribution in front of Zhao Jia, and after Zhao Jia becomes king in the future, he can at least be named a lower secretary.
At this time, Li Yinghong's carriage had already arrived in front of the city gate, Zheng Shuping hurriedly walked in front of Li Yinghong, bowed down, and said, "I've seen Miss Li." ”
Zheng Shuping knows very well that once Zhao Jia becomes king, Li Yinghong will definitely be established as the queen by Zhao Jia, and with the support of Li Mu's old department, Li Yinghong's power will never be small, so he must try his best to have a good relationship with Li Yinghong now, which will be very beneficial to his future future.
Li Yinghong stopped the chariot, bowed his head slightly on the chariot, and said, "Mr. Zheng, you have been waiting here for a long time." ”
Zheng Shuping hurriedly said: "There, there, there is also an escort grain cart below, just came out of the city, this is 5,000 stone millet, Miss, please check it." ”
Li Yinghong waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, I can trust Mr. Zheng, then let someone send the grain truck immediately, and when the grain truck leaves, we can also enter the city." ”
Zheng Shuping also wanted to bring Li Yinghong into the city as soon as possible, but it was a big deal, so he nodded again and again, and hurriedly ordered the grain team to set off and move in the direction of the camp. ”
Zheng Shuping is Li Yinghong's words, if Li Yinghong doesn't open his mouth again, Zheng Shuping will speak, so hearing Li Yinghong say this, Zheng Shuping hurriedly said: "Okay, Miss Li, please come in, lead the way in front of you." ”
As he spoke, Zheng Shuping got into his carriage, and the emperor shook the reins, and the carriage turned around and drove onto the suspension bridge. Li Yinghong's royal master also urged the horses pulling the cart to follow behind Zheng Shuping. After crossing the drawbridge, passing through the city gates, and entering the town of Daijun.
At this time, there were also a lot of soldiers standing in front of the city wall, but the team was sluggish and very scattered, and Li Yinghong turned around on the carriage and looked, behind him, only one carriage had crossed the drawbridge and was still in the city gate hole, while the other three chariots all drove on the drawbridge and stopped, and the people in the carriage also got down from the ground one after another, as if something was wrong. The soldiers accompanying Li Yinghong bypassed the three chariots, walked across the drawbridge, and entered the city gate hole.
Li Yinghong immediately said, "Mr. Zheng, please wait for a while." ”
At this time, Zheng Shuping had driven out of the city gate cave more than 20 meters away, heard Li Yinghong's shout, looked back, and saw that there was a carriage parked on the suspension bridge, he didn't care too much, because the chariot broke down, which is also a common thing, so he hurriedly asked the emperor to stop the car, and Li Yinghong's chariot caught up and stopped side by side with his carriage.
Zheng Shuping said: "Miss Li, ......what's going on?"
Before the word "matter" could be spoken, Li Yinghong suddenly pulled out a saber from his left shoulder, slashed it at Zheng Shuping's shoulder strap, and slashed it down. Zheng Shuping didn't prepare at all, he couldn't dodge at all, but Li Yinghong slashed it down, and the blood appeared, Zheng Shuping screamed, and immediately fell on the carriage, dying of anger. And Li Yinghong's emperor also took out his saber and slashed Zheng Shuping's emperor to death with one sword, it turned out that Li Yinghong's emperor was the plateau.
This change came so suddenly that the surrounding soldiers were stunned, and at this moment, on a carriage behind, the sackcloth suddenly opened, and a snow-white, huge white wolf jumped out of the chariot and jumped in front of the two carriages parked side by side.
Li Yinghong's carriage arrived fortunately, after all, he was a little familiar with this big wolf, but the horses in Zheng Shuping's carriage were startled when they saw this big guy for the first time, and they all screamed, withdrew their legs, and galloped wildly, hitting several soldiers in a row. When the other soldiers saw this, they also retreated.
At this time, Li Yinghong and Gao Yuan also jumped down from the carriage and lifted the sackcloth, which turned out to be loaded with hay. Gao Yuan took out a fire sickle, lit a fire, and set fire to the hay on the cart, and the four war horses pulling the cart were immediately frightened, and they also spread their legs, and galloped towards the city.
The time of these changes was extremely short, and many of the soldiers guarding the city gate did not know what was going on, and at this time, the three hundred soldiers led by Li Yinghong also passed through the city wall and entered the city.
The plateau also began to arrange immediately, and five squads were deployed in front of it, two squads on the left and right, to firmly guard the city gate. Another four squads were assigned to attack the city wall and occupy the city, while the remaining three squads were used as reserves to protect Yun Yao who remained in the city gate.
However, the slow reaction of the defenders in the city greatly surprised the plateau, and only after the plateau had arranged all the soldiers guarding the city gate did the defenders come to their senses and attack them. But at this time, the soldiers had already lined up their formations, and before the defenders could attack, the four crossbowmen behind each Mandarin Duck Formation squad opened their bows and released arrows, and shot down more than ten defenders at once. Gao Yuan saw that the city had been arranged, and now the city tower must be captured, otherwise the side defenders pulled up the suspension bridge, and the Jiong reinforcements came, and it was useless.
So Gao Yuan also gave the city gate ** to Li Yinghong and Wu Hongyan to command, and he and Zhong Sun Qi led four teams respectively, from the stairs on both sides, to attack the city wall. At this time, Yun Yao patted the white wolf's neck and said, "Xiaobai, you go and help a group of big brothers." ”
The white wolf listened, and immediately jumped out of the city gate with a "rub" sound, and came to the side of the plateau after a few jumps, and during this time, the plateau and the white wolf were also familiar with a lot, and they did not refuse, and took the white wolf down the stairs and climbed up to the city wall. At this time, the defenders on the city wall also came down to block, and the plateau was about to step forward to meet the battle, and the white wolf had a "whin" and pounced on the stairs.
Seeing such a huge white wolf, the soldier in front of him screamed in fright, slipped his feet, and rolled down the stairs.
The white wolf let out a howl, and then jumped up to the city, his whole body was full of hair, the wolf's mouth was wide open, and he looked very fierce, and anyone who saw it would be the first to be afraid. In addition, this white wolf is huge in size and has a strong impact, so it bites and hits again, knocking four or five defenders down the stairs in a row, and the remaining defenders are also so frightened that they retreat one after another, and the entire staircase was actually rushed away by this guy.
Gao Yuan was also surprised and delighted, and he didn't expect this guy to be really good, so he immediately led the soldiers up the stairs to the top of the city. At this time, there were still many defenders in the city, but in the face of this big white wolf, they were all frightened and retreated. In fact, this is also because the soldiers under Zhao Jia are a group of rabble, and they have not gone through the battle formation, although they usually show off their strength and are strong and aggressive, when they see such a fierce beast, they are immediately exposed.
But at this time, the plateau had already climbed the city wall, of course, it would not be just this guy, with a wave of his left hand, three flying knives were gone, and suddenly three guards screamed, and the servants fell to the ground and died. Then Gao Yuan swung his knife and grabbed it, and the sword light rolled out a cold light, and in a blink of an eye, he hacked the two guards to death, and then threw out two flying knives and shot two guards. And the white wolf also followed the plateau, even with its claws and bites, and also grabbed and bit three or four people. When the other soldiers saw that this man and a wolf were so brave, they couldn't help but be in high spirits, and they waved their weapons one after another to kill the guards.
As a result, the defenders couldn't resist at all, and after a while, dozens of people were killed and wounded, and the other defenders also fled along the city wall, and on the other side, Zhong Sun Qi had not broken through the stairs. However, Gao Yuan immediately led the soldiers over, dispersed the defenders guarding the staircase, and took the army led by Zhongsun Qi up to the city wall.
Immediately afterwards, the plateau deployed soldiers to guard the staircase and the two sections of the city wall, and held the city head. Looking down from the castle tower, the drawbridge was still lowered and not pulled up.
In fact, the soldiers guarding the city tower also tried to pull up the drawbridge just now, but now there are three carriages and twelve horses parked on the drawbridge, and there are many stones on the carriage, at least seven or eight tons of weight, of course, this is also intentional on the plateau, without the strength of dozens of people, it is impossible to pull the drawbridge up.
After occupying the city tower, Gao Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief, and looked into the city again, at this time the defenders had begun to attack the city gate, but under the strict defense of the Mandarin Duck Formation, the defenders' attacks were in vain, just constantly killed and wounded, and the Mandarin Duck Array was almost undamaged, and Li Yinghong and Wu Hongyan also commanded behind the formation, and sometimes went into battle in person to help the soldiers, and it seemed that they could hold on for a considerable period of time.
At least so far, this time the operation has been carried out very smoothly, not only breaking into the city, but also firmly controlling the city gate and tower, and now waiting for Zhao Xuan to lead the reinforcements to arrive, he can launch an attack on the city of Daijun.
At this time, Gao Yuan saw from the city tower, and in several streets, there were troops marching in the direction of the city gate, and the number was as many as thousands. And Gao Yuan was not worried about the city, and said to Zhongsun Qi: "You are guarding the city tower, and I will go down to support them first." ”
Zhongsun Qi nodded and said, "Go ahead, leave the affairs on the city tower to me to guard." ”
