Chapter 22 Deception(1/2)
The Golden Crow returns to its nest in Chang'an City.
A group of people were sneaking towards Xuanpingmen in the east.
"Is everyone here?"
"The two from Guiyang Duke's Mansion didn't come."
"Tch, I must be timid and scared."
"It's a pity. They also asked them to bring out some belongings so that we can make a fortune."
"..."
The group of people dodged the patrolling Jin soldiers and arrived under the city wall.
"Stop arguing and stick to the plan!"
"Zhang San, Zhang Wei, go and light a fire to cause commotion among the people in the city, and send a signal to His Royal Highness outside the city."
"Others, follow me! I have been observing for a long time, and there are not many defenders here. When the time comes, we will attack together. We don't want to defeat those soldiers, but we must find a way to open the city gate!"
This group of people all have green faces, fangs, and sharp knives. They don't look like ordinary people.
They secretly clung to the wall and were secretly happy to see that the defenders above were extremely relaxed.
After a while.
Several places in the city were already on fire.
"It's gone!"
"Come and put out the fire!"
"My son is still in the house, someone come and save him!
"..."
The fire was not too big, but it caused a lot of panic when it started at night.
At this time, the city wall defenders came down to maintain order and organize everyone to put out the fire.
And those who have been ambushing under the city wall also know that the opportunity has come!
"Walk!"
Several people burst out in the shadows, trying to get close to the city gate.
They were extremely fast and reached the depths in an instant.
But the leader made a gesture.
"Something's wrong!"
My group is a little... too smooth.
It went so smoothly that I didn’t even see a single soldier!
This was completely different from the bloody battle scene he had imagined.
The people in the city were different from He Lianjuan who had not had many contacts with the Jin army.
Not only had he met top generals like Liu Yu, Wang Zhene, and Tan Daoji, but he also understood how strong the Jin army's military discipline was. Even if there was water in the city and there was a shortage of manpower, there would still be no defense for this important city gate.
"Proceed with caution!"
Although I have doubts in my heart, the matter has come to this, and I can only grit my teeth and walk all the way to the dark.
But before they could take a closer look around, the sound of neat footsteps could be heard all around.
Neat and heavy footsteps!
An eagle-eyed old man wearing heavy armor and holding a broadsword led hundreds of people to surround the group.
Mao Dezu smiled extremely cruelly: "No one will be left alive."
This group of people who seemed to be highly skilled in martial arts were like chickens and dogs when facing the regular army, and collapsed at the first touch.
The leader waved the sharp blade unwillingly, but it couldn't even cut down the soldiers' armor.
At this time, a school officer jumped up and hit him hard with a shield, knocking him out of balance. When his energy was blocked, he stabbed him in the abdomen with a backhand knife.
With unwilling eyes, the school officer cut off his head with a smile and trotted to Mao Dezu to claim credit: "General! The head is here."
Mao Dezu looked at the school officer with relief.
"Doji is really brave."
The school officer’s name was Fan Daoji. He was Mao Dezu’s favorite school officer. He had superb martial arts skills and was fearless in fighting. He was somewhat similar to Mao Dezu when he was young. Mao Dezu almost treated him as his own son. (Historically, it was Fan Daoji who was in the army.
The only two hundred Jin soldiers who survived in Hulao returned south.)
"Dao Ji, I have prepared the arrangements here. You can quickly go to Zhangcheng Gate to protect Duke Guiyang."
Fan Daoji scratched his head: "But General, where are you?"
Mao Dezu laughed and scolded: "Go! Do you think I am really old? How can a mere Hun dog hurt me?"
Fan Daoji chuckled: "Yes, I'll go then. General, don't worry, as long as Daoji is still alive, I will never let Duke Guiyang suffer any harm!"
"Go quickly!"
"hey-hey."
Watching Fan Daoji walk away, Mao Dezu's expression became solemn.
According to deduction, this is probably the main direction of Hu Xia's attack.
The next battle will not be easy.
But Fan Daoji's departure also made Mao Dezu less worried.
In other words, Fan Daoji also learned a lot from him, and he was regarded as his successor.
If he lives, he can still leave behind a firewood.
I can fight to the death myself!
Compared with the bustle at Xuanping Gate, Zhangcheng Gate is a bit quiet.
Wang Xiuyi, a civil servant who had not seen him for a long time, stood on the wall wearing a battle armor, looking helplessly at the tin cans beside him.
"Mr. Guiyang...what are you doing?"
The tin can tried to stick out its head, and it was Liu Yizhen's slightly embarrassed handsome face.
"This... I'm afraid of death!"
Originally, Liu Yi really didn't have to go to the battlefield in person.
But when he thought of being alone in the defenseless Anxi General's Mansion, Liu Yizhen felt even more insecure, so he ran to the less dangerous Zhangcheng Gate.
It's coming.
However, protective measures cannot be omitted.
Not only did Liu Yizhen put on a layer of bright light armor, he also held a large shield in his hand that was taller than himself.
Liu Yizhen was not worried about this, so he sewed many thick strips of cloth into the gaps in the Mingguang Armor to prevent stray arrows.
But because Liu Yizhen was young, his body was not fully developed yet.
The bright light armor originally made for an adult figure looked particularly funny when worn on Liu Yizhen, and Liu Yizhen wore so many things that it looked like a short, fat iron can from a distance.
But Liu Yizhen doesn't care about this.
The sword has no eyes.
As long as you are ugly, you can protect yourself.
Wang Xiu sighed.
Previously, I had planned to tell the soldiers about Liu Yizhen's personal visit to the battlefield to improve their morale.
But Liu Yizhen looks like this...
Forget it, you can hide behind me.
At this time, a fire suddenly broke out in the east of the city, and everyone knew that this was a signal that something was about to happen!
But he waited and waited, but Helian Guang's soldiers and horses refused to move.
Liu Yizhen struggled to lift his head which was pressed by the iron helmet: "Wang Changshi, did the other party sense something and refuse to attack the city?"
Wang Xiu was also very confused at this time.
"No! We must lure Helianhuan to attack the city!"
If he missed this time, He Lianhuang knew that the hidden man in the city had been removed, and he was waiting for Liu Yi to attack like a mad dog from Hu Xia.
"It's better to let someone seduce Helian Huang!"
Liu Yizhen was so bored that it was difficult to speak.
"Let my people go to the enemy camp and convince Helianhuan to attack Chang'an now!"
To be continued...
