440 [I will kill you]
The architectural layout of Guping Camp is similar to that of other military forts, with only two east and west gates. Now outside the west gate is Zhang Qingbai's 70,000-strong army, and the east gate is the only entrance and exit connected to other parts of Lingzhou.
It's not that Zhang Qingbai doesn't know how to siege the city, but there are terrain obstacles on both the north and south sides. He can't reach the east gate of the camp unless he takes a hundred-mile detour. This move is obviously too radical. He can't let a lone army go deep behind the enemy's rear, so now the east gate is here
Pretty safe.
Wuwei Hou Ningzhong seemed very cautious at this time and led dozens of soldiers to the east gate wall. Looking down, he saw a cavalry force of nearly ten thousand standing outside the city.
From the outside, this cavalry was in a state of utter wretchedness, with blood and dust dyeing the bright armor black and purple, and the soldiers' faces were covered with dirt. However, the moment Ning Zhong saw them, his heart suddenly tightened.
, because he could feel the auras of these people being extremely cold, and the murderous aura that seemed to be substantial rose into the sky, shrouding the Guping camp.
Ning Zhong found Pei Yue's figure in front of the cavalry. What puzzled him was that there was a sturdy carriage beside Pei Yue.
Pei Yue said a few words to the carriage, then rode forward, getting closer and closer to the city gate.
Ye Qi, Wei Rui, Fu Hongzhi, Meng Longfu, Chen Xianda, Tang Linfen and Gu Mang followed closely behind, but the carriage still stopped in place.
When he was still fifteen feet away from the city gate, Pei Yue reined in the reins and looked up at Ning Zhong standing on the city wall, his eyes cold and his face expressionless.
Two words came out of his mouth: "Open the door."
Ning Zhong laughed a few times subconsciously, then realized that he shouldn't be so polite, so he put on a stern expression and said in a tone of voice: "Prince Pei, what door do you want to open?"
Pei Yue said in a deep voice: "The Zangfeng Guards need to go into the camp to rest."
This reason seems irrefutable. After all, the Zangfeng Guards and Zhang Qingbai's army fought with their lives yesterday. Everyone in the city saw it. Even the soldiers around Ning Zhong took this request for granted.
But someone like Ning Zhong, who has studied people's hearts all his life, can still see through the murderous intent in the eyes of the people below. Even if Pei Yue behaves calmly and does not have any verbal conflicts, he will never let these such people go at this time.
The wolf-like cavalry came in.
What's more, Lu Min's hint was very obvious, so he naturally had to do his best to complete it.
Thinking of this, Ning Zhong laughed and said: "Pei Qin, there are already 40,000 troops in the camp, and there is no room for your cavalry. I have been ordered by Master Junji to tell you that the Tibetan Front Guard is now the leader of Hucheng.
As the only cavalry outside, don't be afraid of death, and concentrate on killing the enemy. Later, I will send people to send food and grass supplies out of the camp. After you get them, you will immediately return the same way and continue to harass the rear of Zhang Qingbai's army."
Chen Xianda cursed loudly and angrily: "Fuck your mother!"
Ning Zhong's face turned blue and he almost jumped up and said: "Pei Yue, is this how you discipline your subordinates?"
Pei Yue ignored the question at all, raised his head and said indifferently: "I will give you one last chance, open the door."
Ning Zhong smiled ferociously and said, "Dream!"
The breathing of the generals behind Pei Yue suddenly became thicker, and they all involuntarily clenched the weapons in their hands.
Pei Yue slowly raised his right hand, and Chen Xianda shouted at the top of his lungs: "Array!"
More than 10,000 cavalrymen outside the city immediately began to form a charging formation, and the generals also returned to the front lines of their subordinates. Only Ye Qi remained with Pei Yue.
Ning Zhong was not angry but happy, looking proudly at Pei Yue below on the city wall.
This military city was built so solidly that even Zhang Qingbai's infantry couldn't capture it after three days of continuous attack, let alone the more than 10,000 cavalry outside without any siege equipment? No matter how brave and skillful they are on the plains, they can't take it out of thin air.
Flying up to the top of the city? Ning Zhong thought it was Pei Yue's angry struggle, so he laughed loudly on the top of the city.
But except for him, none of the other soldiers smiled, because deep down in their hearts they only felt worthless for the Zangfeng Guards.
After working hard in the west, and now even if you want to go to the city to rest, you are not allowed, is this still something that people can do?
Pei Yue looked at Ning Zhong's ugly appearance on the top of the city indifferently, then suddenly turned to look at the carriage behind him and said loudly: "Let's do it."
The curtain on the right side of the carriage opened, and a delicate hand stretched out, holding a strange object.
The middle-aged man standing at attention beside the carriage took the object and then pulled it up suddenly.
Fireworks exploded in the sky during the day.
Ning Zhong vaguely noticed something was wrong, and at this moment, there was a sudden noise from below the city tower. Before Ning Zhong could react, the east gate of Guping Camp was slowly opened.
"Who asked you to open the door? Do you want to die?" Ning Zhong cursed angrily, but what frightened him even more was that at the moment the fireworks exploded, the entire army of the Tibetan Front Guards outside the city lined up and charged!
Pei Yue took the lead, his horse rushing towards the half-opened city gate like lightning.
At this moment, there were more than twenty defenders wearing ordinary infantry armor inside the city gate. They were opening the city gate. Driven by the gatekeeper, others were about to step forward to attack them. However, a young sentry stood in front of them, holding in his hand
Holding a token high, he shouted angrily: "Taishitai Pavilion is doing something, and anyone who blocks it will die!"
The gatekeeper couldn't help but hesitate on his face. It was no secret that there were many crows from Taige in the army. Just when he was hesitating, the Zangfeng Guard vanguard army, led by Pei Yue, had already rushed to the door, and then there was a shaking sound.
The roar of the earth: "Make way without killing!"
The gatekeeper knew that there was nothing he could do, so he could only drop his weapon first and then stand obediently on the side of the road, motionless.
Pei Yue rode on horseback with a sword in his hand. He glanced at the young sentry officer who was putting the token in his arms, and his eyes became a little more wary.
All this happened in a very short period of time. Wuwei Hou Ningzhong ran down the city wall in panic, running in the direction of his mount.
The city suddenly fell into immense chaos, with shouts of killing happening one after another. Ning Zhong was getting closer and closer to his mount, and his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.
At this moment, a group of cavalry suddenly charged forward. The soldier who was leading the way for Ning Zhong was unable to dodge. He was kicked in the chest by a horse's hoofs and fell to the ground.
Ning Zhong stopped suddenly, not because he didn't want to run, but because a spear appeared out of nowhere and was pressed against his throat.
Pei Yue jumped off his mount and walked towards him with a knife.
Ning Zhong shouted with stern expression: "Pei Yue! I am the Marquis of Daliang and the commander of Guping Camp. Do you want to rebel?"
Pei Yue dragged the tip of his knife on the ground, making a harsh sound along the way.
Ye Qiping raised his spear, making Ning Zhong dare not move without permission.
More and more Zangfeng Guards officers and soldiers were approaching here. They looked at their commander, with expressions of grief and hatred on their faces.
"Pei Yue, I don't know anything. What happened yesterday has nothing to do with me. Don't—"
Ning Zhong's screams suddenly stopped.
