Chapter 96: Breaking the five elements, living and dying together II
Gongsun Sheng added: "The compositions of the earth camp and the water camp are different, but they are similar. However, these two thousand people are what I said before. They are all Xie Jiajun. Each one can be worth ten, and each holds a long halberd in his hand. , hanging a simple knife on his waist, a dagger in his boots, and a strong bow on his back, he is as skilled in horse and water warfare, and he is capable of long-range shooting and short-range attack. And this is not the most terrifying thing. Hearing the will of this Xie family army to fight He is so powerful that even if there is an abyss in front of him, he will march forward with the sound of drums; even if there is a golden beauty in front of him, he will retreat with the sound of gold. Moreover, even if he is defeated miserably and only one person is left, instead of giving up, he will often break out in an astonishing way. The lethality, generals must be careful and don’t show off."
Gongsun Sheng said that, and finally added: "When the generals go into battle, I will watch the battle from the ladder. As long as the gold is awarded, I also ask all the brothers to withdraw their troops quickly, and not to be arbitrary."
Everyone nodded along with Shi Jin.
"Didn't you say that they broke the formation and I came to attack the city?" Wu Song spoke at this time and said: "The city is missing now. How do you want me to attack? Seeing how difficult it is for them to break the formation, it is better for me to go It's better to help than to stand here and stare."
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious," Wu Yong smiled and waved his feather fan and said, "It's not easy for them to break the formation, but it's even harder for you to attack the city. Come, listen to me and listen to you." After saying that, Wu Yong pulled Wu Song to the tent. Outside, Wu Song didn't know what trick Wu Yong was playing, so he waved his hand. When Zhang Qing saw it, he quickly followed him out. They all followed Wu Yong, got on their horses, and walked north along the Chinese army's tent. They almost arrived at the edge of the camp. At that moment, a large tent stood awkwardly among the other tents.
"Here we are, right here," Wu Yong pointed to the big tent with a smile, and the three of them got off their horses.
"This is," Wu Song said, "What does this mean?"
Zhang Qing took a quick look and saw that the tent was surrounded by deer antlers and was guarded by more than a hundred armed soldiers. There were bows and arrows on the archery towers on all sides, staring at the tent, and on the outside There were pikemen who surrounded them three times. There were also crossbowmen outside, as well as hundreds of soldiers with simple swords, and a thousand soldiers with simple swords, standing by at any time, with a stern look, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. .
Wu Yong led the two of them inside. When the sergeants guarding the outside saw that the military advisor was coming, they immediately moved out of the way.
Wu Song walked beside Wu Yong and asked curiously: "Is there some important person imprisoned here? They are so carefully guarded."
Wu Yong looked sideways at Wu Song and couldn't help but smile. He didn't answer. He just waved his feather fan and led Wu Song. Zhang Qing went straight into the big tent. After Wu Song followed Wu Yong into the big tent, he suddenly He was stunned by what he saw before him, and Zhang Qing, who came in shortly after, was also stunned.
This big tent is even worse than the Chinese army's big tent. In this huge tent, there is not a table or a cup or saucer. Some are just swords and swords, and some are just tense. This is There were more than fifty strong men surrounded inside, with swords unsheathed and arrows cocked. The atmosphere inside was even more tense than outside, but there was nothing in the crowd.
"Military advisor, what are you doing here?" Wu Song said with a playful attitude, standing in this place that seemed to be incompatible with his expression: "What kind of treasure are you guarding? To scare them all like this? "
Wu Yong did not joke this time. He just waved his feather fan gently and said, "Brother Wu Song, come and have a closer look." After that, he motioned to the officers and soldiers guarding there to make way for Wu Yong to lead him. Following Wu Song and Zhang Qing, they entered the inner core.
A general inside saw the military advisor and came in. He didn't dare to put away his sword. Seeing Wu Yong looking over, he knelt on the ground and knocked on the ground "two, three, three, two" several times, and the ground below The sound of "three, two, two, three" came back, and the general immediately stood up, clasped his fists and reported to Wu Yonghui: "Military advisor, everything is normal now."
Wu Yong nodded and held his feather fan horizontally. Napi understood and immediately knelt down on one knee and swept away a layer of soil on the ground, revealing a piece of bluestone. Wu Song looked at it and then turned to exchange with Zhang Qing. With a look of astonishment, he stared closely at the general Pi and several sergeants as they laboriously moved the big stone together, revealing a hole in the ground. At this moment, the sergeants holding long spears surrounded them in an instant, and a The sharp spear pointed at the dark hole, as if an enemy would rush out of here in an instant.
At this time, a little firelight flashed under the dark hole, and then a lamp was lit. General Pi walked into the big hole and looked down. Then he turned back and said to Wu Yong: "It's safe."
Wu Yong nodded, then turned around and said: "Brother Wu, this is a secret passage we dug, which can lead directly to an abandoned old house in Xiagui City. This old house changed hands in the southeast corner of the city. We resold it three times, but all the customers died in the fire for no apparent reason. Rumors about this house were very evil, so the surrounding neighbors all moved out of the alley. It was for this reason that we were able to use that place to hide the secret passages. It will take about an hour to get from here to Xiagui, using this. After you go to the old house, gather the troops first, and then fight out from the alley. Here, this is the defense map of Xiagui City. We We’ve sent people to investigate,”
After saying that, Wu Yong took out the map from his arms, unfolded it and handed it to Wu Song and Zhang Qing, and continued: "The South City Tower is where we bear the brunt of the attack, so their troops are also arranged the most. According to The latest intelligence report indicates that there are about 2,000 people. The defense under the east city gate is less, with only 1,000 people. And you don’t have to attack the tower first. These are secondary. You can do this, this, and this... alright,"
"Okay," Wu Song was very happy after hearing this, and immediately said: "Without further delay, I will lead the troops right away, but where are the troops and horses?"
Wu Yong's smile gradually dissipated and he said: "The soldiers and horses are outside. They have been assembled and ready for deployment at any time. Each of them is a carefully selected expert, but..."
"It's just," Zhang Qing felt that there seemed to be something ominous behind this.
"I can only allocate a thousand men and horses to accompany you. I don't know if Wu Dutou dares to make this trip," Wu Yong said.
When Wu Song heard this, his heart skipped a beat. These thousand men and horses entered the city, but they had to fight against the thousands of officers and soldiers.
Before Wu Song could speak, Zhang Qing said: "It is convenient for a thousand men and horses to assemble near the old house. However, once they enter Xiagui City, they will enter the enemy's tiger's den. If they cannot win, it will be easy to rely on them alone." I'm afraid this secret passage will lead to no return."
After hearing Zhang Qing's somewhat frustrated words, Wu Yong sighed and said with a hint of helplessness: "After everyone goes down, for the safety of Dazhai, I have to destroy this secret passage and this port. In this battle, I can only Can win but not lose,"
"You can't catch tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den," Wu Song took a deep breath and said, "I, Wu Song, want to break in. I'm not afraid that he has a tiger, but I'm afraid that he is a sick tiger and can't stand my beating."
Wu Yong heard these domineering words, and the smile suddenly appeared on his face again, and he said: "Wu admires Brother Wu's courage. General, please remember that although this is going deep into the tiger's den, it is also a surprise attack."
Wu Song nodded, and immediately followed Wu Yong out of the tent, lit up the thousand death squads on standby, gathered their weapons and lined up down the tunnel.
"Brothers, take care. You go first. After an hour, I will let them start to break the formation. Everything will be done according to plan. You two wise brothers must be careful," Wu Yong said.
Wu Song cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, military advisor," and then he and Zhang Qing went down the wooden ladder and down the tunnel.
The tunnel is sometimes wide and narrow, about one person tall, and can accommodate two people passing side by side. The earth walls on the left and right sides of the tunnel are compacted, and every two or three steps there are wooden poles as beams to support the wooden roof above. The workmanship cannot be said to be fine, but it is almost solid.
Zhang Qing and Wu Song walked in front, followed closely by the thousand death squads. Every so often, they would see a lantern inserted in the side of the secret tunnel, which could barely light up the crowd as they walked through this section of the tunnel to the next one. In front of the lamp, Wu Song and others first walked down the tunnel. After walking for an unknown amount of time, they went up again along the tunnel.
Wu Song and Zhang Qing just walked forward. At some point, they suddenly saw many sergeants appearing in the tunnel in the distance. They were all extremely vigilant. When they saw Wu Song and others approaching, they put away their knives and walked over slowly to report: "The general is finally here, our people are all deployed, everything is safe as before, and we can move,"
Wu Song nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Finally, we're done." After saying that, he took Zhang Qing to the end of the tunnel, where there was a dry well. When Wu Song came, the sergeant above The next rope ladder came, Wu Song and others went up the rope ladder. It was indeed a house. The four walls were burnt black. Most of them had no beams and roofs. There were only some tall ruins scattered everywhere. Wu Song looked at it and thought to himself, this is It was also a wealthy family back then, otherwise it would not have been able to build such a big house. However, the repeated fires were a bit strange.
Wu Song looked around, waiting for the brothers behind him to climb up the rope ladder one by one. Wu Song spread out the map Wu Yong handed him, carefully pressed the map and reviewed all the strategies Wu Yong said. At the same time, he also kept in mind the route to the places he wanted to pass through in the city. When everything was ready, the thousand death squads were also assembled in this courtyard.
Wu Song looked at the troops and horses standing in front of him, and glanced at the southern skyline, Shi Jin and the others must have also begun to charge into the formation.
