On the third day, the horn roared, and the smoke was billowing from the county, and Wu Jin hurriedly went up to the city to look, "I saw a sea of red flags on the horizon, and one of the huge flags was unfurled."

Under the banner, the dense crowd of Chu troops in red armor rolled in and injected into the expanded camp in the distance.

One person carefully looked at the banner of the Chu army outside the city.

After a while, he said aloud: "One big flag, five middle flags" is exactly one capital, and it is estimated that there are 3,000 troops." It seems that the enemy general is indeed not lying. ”

The county commander Wu Jin nodded, did not speak, but there was a panic in his heart, there were only five hundred soldiers in the city, "Relying on the city, there is still some certainty in resisting a thousand Chu troops, and three thousand will ...... At this time, the military camp was expanded several times, and from a distance, the camp was in order, the cold light was cold, and the military was at its peak.

At this time, dark clouds appeared, adding a bit of solemn atmosphere out of thin air, and at night, the army was settled, and after looking at the county order Wu Jin for a day, he couldn't help but look solemn and "went down with a trace of doubt."

At this time, "Wu Xingzong was wearing armor and had a solemn face" in the main tent and was silent. In the past two days, he has set up camp and stood still, but he has already made people sneak into the rumors of walking, thinking of this, Wu Xingzong couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly.

This county town on the western slope has a solid defense, and it is difficult to capture it for a while.

The rigor of this camp, even if I looked at it from a distance, I felt that it was 3,000 people, and now that the strategy has been fully used, if no one responds, then the only way to attack is to use the next strategy.

The only fortunate thing is that he didn't fully pin his hopes on the plan in the first place, and he ordered the construction of siege weapons Now that three days have passed, and the siege vehicles have been built.

With dry food, he was pondering, when suddenly a soldier stepped forward: "The general has someone from the city." ”

"Is it coming?" At this time, Wu Xingzong's body was shocked, but he sat still, picked up a copy of "Historical Books" and browsed under the lamp.

"No!" "After a while, I saw a middle-aged man come in, this is a middle-aged man about forty years old, with a fair face, dressed in a night robe" stood at the door and looked.

I saw a general in the tent, burly wearing a military robe, reading, his eyes were bright, and he had the majesty of a general, and he was sure in his heart that he knelt down and saluted at the moment: "Villain Zhou Shucheng, meet the general." ”

Wu Xingzong looked at his words and deeds, and knew that this person was a county gentry, and he was afraid that he had some status in Xipo County.

"What do you want to see Ben Jiang?" Wu Xingji sat on his knees with his hands, let his hands go, and asked in a deep voice.

Wu Xingzong is not very old, his face is ugly, but he has a natural majesty, revealing an awe-inspiring atmosphere, "This middle-aged man has also learned to read books", just one glance, he felt that there must be a nobleman, and immediately saluted and said: "General, the villain is a native of Xipo County, and the clan is really not secret, the villain is here this time to surrender to your army!"

"Oh?" Wu Xingzong stared at this person for a moment before smiling and saying, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Shucheng saluted again and continued: "The king of Chu unified the south" and the whole world knows that "a small county town in Xipo County" can stop the pace of the king's division? The villain is willing to open the city gate for your army in the middle of the night, and only hopes that after your army enters the city, it can protect the people in the city and not let the people in the city suffer from this war. ”

"You say, would you like to open the city gate for our army in the middle of the night?" Wu Xingzong heard this, his heart jumped, but his face was deep and unmoving.

"Yes, the villain has a nephew who is a false lieutenant at the city gate...... , and although the villain is not talented, he also has some small income, and he also has some family members available. Zhou Shucheng said.

Hearing this, the matter was understood, and Wu Xingzong couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, this is really heaven's estimation!

"Please rest assured, Ben will swear here, if he can enter the city, Ben will restrain the soldiers, and he will not commit any offence in the Mid-Autumn Festival in the city!" Wu Xingzong smiled and said lightly.

He also said: "Mr. Zhou understands the righteousness, and can take the risk to open the city, as long as it is done, Ben will definitely show his boss and give you a generous reward for the Zhou family." ”

got the promise of the general of the Chu army personally, and Zhou Shucheng's heart finally fell back into his stomach.

"The villain thanked the general for the people in the city first!" Zhou Shucheng said gratefully, paused, and said: "The situation in the city can't stay for a long time, the villain will go back and explain to his nephew immediately." ”

"I saw that the lights of the south city gate were on, that is, when the door was wide open, I also asked the general to know it. ”

"Very good!" Wu Xingzong asked again before letting Zhou Shucheng leave with someone.

As soon as Zhou Shucheng left, Wu Xingzong immediately gathered all his henchmen.

Then he told them about it.

"General, is there any deception in this?" Although everyone was overjoyed, some people couldn't help but hesitate.

Wu Xingzong also thought about this, but as long as the city gate was breached, the county town would be included in his pocket, his eyes swept over the few people in front of him, and he said slowly: "It's a fraud, as long as the city gate is opened, they can't help it." ”

There are no soldiers in the city, as long as the city is opened, they rush in, "Don't say 500 people, even 2,000 soldiers, they can be destroyed in one fell swoop."

As long as the city gate is opened, it will be even more difficult to close the gate!"

"Wei Shuai, when are we going to act?"

Wu Xingzong said: "Immediately, wait for midnight!"

His gaze swept over these people and ordered: "Each of you will take a team and take turns to guard at the south gate, and the others will rest on the spot for the time being." ”

"No!"

Time flies" and it was midnight in a blink of an eye.

On the head of the county seat of Xipo, the guards of the city can be faintly seen constantly moving.

Wu Xingzong led people to "touch the city and wait."

For a moment, all of a sudden, the city lights came on" and the gate slowly fell and fell with a thud.

Wu Xingzong did not hesitate any longer, and ordered his subordinate Hu Yan: "Up!"

Hu Yan's beard was full of cheeks, he was the leader of the elite cavalry in this guard, although there were only fifty horsemen, but hidden in the dark, except for a few horses panting, there was no sound.

At this time, when he heard the order, he immediately raised his hand, only to hear the sound of "boom", and the fifty horsemen rushed straight up.

In just an instant, fifty horsemen rushed to the gate of the city, and stepped in without hesitation, seeing this, Wu Xingzong only stared at the key to victory and defeat, "It's here."

The cavalry rushed forward, and for a short time there was no sound of killing, but there was a commotion for a moment.

"Up!", at this time, another battalion of soldiers pounced on and entered the city, this battalion did not enter at first, but just looked at it, and took a look, but it was really opened.

"Kill in!", Wu Xingzong was overjoyed" and shouted loudly: "Surrender and don't kill!", and the surrounding soldiers drank at the same time: "Surrender and don't kill!Surrender and don't kill!", at this time, I saw that the city gate was in flames, and a large number of Chu troops had already entered Hu Yan and rushed to the front, shooting with a bow from afar, and stabbing at near, but in half a tea time, the city gate guards had been killed.

The soldiers in the county were suddenly attacked, and suddenly there was no order, and hundreds of people were in chaos.

The Chu army has long been trained in this, taking the team as a unit, attacking vertically and horizontally, as long as they see the officers either shooting with bows or shooting with spears and attacking with spears, they will kill them for a while.

Seeing this, many soldiers threw down their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

"You take a team, the guards and prisoners take a team, maintain order in the city, and the camp will follow me into the county government!"

"No!", Wu Xingzong rushed to the county government with people, but when he arrived, he saw the sound of killing inside, but he had already broken through the county government, and under the county barnyard gate, more than a dozen corpses were scattered horizontally, and the strong smell of blood was permeated, but for Wu Xingzong, he was very used to it.

At this time, a person was pulled out.

This person was stabbed several times and was dying, but he could still be identified as Wu Jin, the county commander, at this time, although the flesh and blood were blurred, he still cursed inarticulately, "This gritted tooth gritting resentment makes people feel terrified."

"Killed!" Wu Xingzong only glanced at it, and then ordered.

If this kind of county order is captured, maybe he can live" He didn't want this kind of person to live, and the resentment on the other side was too obvious.

Although Wu Xingzong is very inexplicable, it is enough to kill such a person.

In folk commentaries, there are always people shouting: "If you have the ability, kill me, if you don't kill me, you will ...... in the future."

And the villain inside will let this man go.

At that time, I listened to it with relish when I was a teenager, and now Wu Xingzong has not waited for this county order to say this, only to see it, and when he sees it, he will order it to be killed.

Hearing the order, a pro-soldier pulled out a long knife violently, the knife flashed, and the head that was still cursing "suddenly rolled, and on a headless corpse, blood spurted out, swayed, and fell to the ground with a "boom".

It was all too common for everyone to have no expression.

"Straighten out the yamen, inspect the city, and count the warehouses. After tossing all night, at dawn, Wu Xingzong had completely occupied the county, almost bloodless, and the losses were very small, which made Wu Xingzong very happy.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Shucheng was able to meet him.

In the living room of the former county government, the two sat down as guests.

At this time, Zhou Shucheng was very happy in his heart, what he did was a risky thing, if there was an accident, "but the whole family would lose their heads with him."

Up to now, seeing that the Chu army quickly took control of the county seat of Xipo County, and the city seemed very calm, Zhou Shucheng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled a little bitterly.

At this time, it was already understood that "there are no three thousand people at all, just one guard."

"Mr. Zhou, concealment was the art of war before, but now our army has conquered this city, Mr. Zhou has made great contributions, the general will already report this matter to the king, I don't know what Mr. Zhou else wants, as long as the general can call the shots, it will be achieved!" At this time, Wu Xingzong said with a kind expression.

Hearing Wu Xingzong's words, Zhou Shucheng said with a wry smile: "I don't dare to be greedy for merit in Xia, the reason why I welcome the general into the city is that I really admire the king of Chu and dare not resist the king's master" but ......

"Mr. Zhou doesn't have to be restrained, please have something to say. ””

"Now that the general has said so, he will be cheeky and make a request to you. Zhou Shucheng thought for a moment, and finally made up his mind to "stand up, arch his hand to the general in front of him and say: "I have a son under him, who is seventeen years old, and has the heart to join the army, and I hope that General Wu can accept him!"

"Oh, where is Ling Lang now?" Wu Xingzong was stunned and asked.

"The dog is outside the house, and the general wants to see him." Zhou Shucheng said.

"Someone, please come in. "After Wu Xingzong heard this," he said to his own soldiers.

"No!", the soldiers went out to call someone.

After a while, I saw a young man come in, looking very heroic.

"Zhou Tai has seen the general!", after coming in, he gave Wu Xingzong a salute.

Wu Xingzong originally only planned to be perfunctory, but now when he saw it, he immediately changed his mind.

Listening to Mr. Zhou, "You are seventeen this year?" Wu Xingzong asked.

Zhou Tai bent down slightly" and said, "General, the villain is seventeen this year." ””

"Want to join the army?", "Exactly. ””

"It's not easy to be a soldier, aren't you afraid of death?", "General, since ancient times, when the king was a teacher, he was a man when he made meritorious deeds, how could he be afraid of death at this time?"

"That's good!", when Wu Xingzong heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and said to Zhou Shucheng: "Ling Lang is really a talent, let's be a personal soldier by the general's side first!", "Thank you general!" Zhou Shucheng hurriedly said. ！~！
