The next arrangement is extremely simple for the Kuai brothers. Kuai Liang has already judged that the other party will definitely use the name of the defenders of Hanshou City to enter the scope of Wuling County, and then want to take advantage of the absence of the Wuling County defenders.
Pay attention to the sneak attack on Wuling City. But in this way, the opponent will definitely have to march quickly, and many places will not be taken into account, such as reconnaissance!
Kuai Liang immediately made a decision, that is, to send troops and horses to ambush on the road from Hanshou City to Wuling City. Just wait for the opponent to arrive, and then ambush the enemy! If everything goes well, he will defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
Defeat is not impossible!
After making the decision, it was time to implement the specific plan. Since the opponent was able to capture Hanshou City in one breath, it can be seen that the opponent's troops were definitely not small. For this reason, Kuai Liang decisively dispatched all the troops in Wuling City.
As for the garrison, as for the commander of the troops and horses, of course it was Huang Zu, the only general under Kuai Liang! Even the water army and water stronghold that Huang Zu had been running these days had stopped. Considering Huang Zu's character
Impatient, Kuai Liang thought for a while, and finally asked his younger brother Kuai Yue to accompany Huang Zu to ambush him. It is estimated that they were the only two brothers who could suppress Huang Zu's violent temper.
At this time, time is a little tight. Judging from the time when the secret message was sent, it should have been sent out a day ago. And since the enemy wants to make a surprise attack, I am afraid that they will have already launched their troops here by now.
Kuai Liang arrived, so Kuai Liang quickly sent someone to summon Huang Zu, and at the same time told Kuai Yue what he needed to pay attention to. Kuai Liang knew that his younger brother's intelligence was definitely not inferior to his own, but he just lacked some experience. This matter was handed over to him.
Kuai Liang was relieved that Kuai Yue would handle it. After explaining it carefully, he asked Kuai Yue and Huang Zu to take their troops and horses and hurriedly set off on the road.
Calculating the distance from Hanshou City to Wuling City, no matter how fast it is, it will still take two or three days. I'm afraid there will be news tomorrow. Kuai Liang stood at the top of the city and watched the city gradually disappear.
After seeing the traces of the army, he nodded with satisfaction, turned around and left. Regarding this dispatch of troops, it can be said that Kuai Liang was confident and was waiting for the good news of Kuai Yue's return after victory.
In the blink of an eye, a day and a night passed by, but the good news that Kuai Liang expected never came, or even no news at all. This made Kuai's conscience start to beat drums involuntarily. Was there an accident? No!
No! My plan will never go wrong! Absolutely not!
Different from Kuai Liang's usual modest appearance, in fact, inside Kuai Liang's heart, he is extremely proud. It's no wonder that although Kuai Liang is young, he has become the head of the Kuai family, one of the two famous families in Jingxiang.
The celebrities in Jingxiang were called genius wise men, and all kinds of honors were attached to him. After all, Kuai Liang was just a young man, so how could he not be arrogant? Although he felt a little uneasy deep in his heart, Kuai Liang
His pride refused to let him believe that his strategy was wrong, so Kuai Liang still forced himself to calm down.
But after another day and night, Kuai Liang did not wait for the news of Kuai Yue's victory. Instead, he heard the thunderous sound of war drums coming from outside the city. Even though Kuai Liang was still in the prefect's mansion, his face was pale. Although it was not yet.
He knew what was going on, but Kuai Liang already had a hunch in his heart, that is, he really lost this time!
Before Kuai Liang rushed out of the prefect's mansion, he saw Cao Yin running from the prefect's mansion in a state of embarrassment. As soon as he saw Kuai Liang, Cao Yin ran to Kuai Liang in panic and shouted to Kuai Liang
: "Eldest Young Master! Eldest Young Master! It's not good! Outside the city! Many, many people and horses appeared outside the city! Those defenders at the top of the city couldn't hold on at all. Now the enemy army has broken through the city gate, and even the company has a huge number of people.
Everyone has been killed too! Young Master! Let’s run!”
Hearing the bad news, Kuai Liang suddenly felt his eyes darken, his body went limp, and he fell to the ground. Fortunately, Cao Yin had quick eyesight and quick hands, and rushed forward to support Kuai Liang, so he didn't fall to the ground. I heard that
Cao Yin's urgent cry made Kuai Liang slowly open his eyes, but there was a look of despair on his face, and he muttered: "Fell into the trap! Failed to fall into the trap!"
"Young Master!" Seeing Kuai Liang's appearance, Cao Yin felt anxious in his heart, but he didn't dare to just leave Kuai Liang and run away. He was nothing after leaving the Kuai family! Hearing more and more
As the shouts of killing came closer and closer, Cao Yin hurriedly shouted to Kuai Liang: "Young Master! Cheer up! Let's escape quickly! As long as we leave the city and there are still Second Young Master and General Huang's army, we can
There is still a chance to make a comeback!”
I don't know whether Cao Yin's persuasion worked or whether Kuai Liang's own mood adjusted. In short, a light flashed in Kuai Liang's eyes again. He stretched out his hand to hold Cao Yin's shoulders, and he stood up on his own with a little force.
He stood up, nodded and said in a deep voice: "That makes sense! Keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood! Let's break out now! Today's humiliation will be repaid twice as much in the future! Let's go!" Although Kuai Liang had just suffered a lot.
After all, he was a first-rate wise man. He figured it out in a short time. Since the opponent was still able to arrive outside Wuling City without anyone noticing, it was obvious that there was no confrontation between the opponent and Kuai Yue's troops.
As soon as Kuai Liang gritted his teeth, he took Cao Yin and rushed outside the prefect's mansion. Even the family members and the children of the Kuai family who were in the prefect's mansion had no time to notify him. This alone shows Kuai Liang's decisiveness. Unfortunately, Kuai Liang
His decisiveness did not buy him much time. When Kuai Liang and Cao Yin just rushed out of the gate of the prefect's mansion, they saw a group of fully armed soldiers and horses coming towards the prefect's mansion. Kuai was shocked.
Liang couldn't help but shuddered, and hurriedly shouted to the Kuai family guards who were following him: "What are you doing standing still! Hurry up and stop the enemy!"
Although they knew that they were giving their lives in exchange for Kuai Liang's time to escape, out of loyalty to the Kuai family, none of the Kuai family guards hesitated. They all drew their weapons immediately.
They shouted in unison and charged towards the enemy. Taking advantage of this moment, Kuai Liang and Cao Yin also hurriedly turned over and mounted the horses prepared at the entrance of the mansion, ignoring the guards who were fighting desperately behind them.
Riding Whip then rode his horse in the opposite direction.
After all, Cao Yin had been the prefect of Wuling City for so many years and was already very familiar with Wuling City. With Cao Yin leading the way, Kuai Liang and his party quickly arrived at the gate in the north of the city. The enemy army entered from the east of the city.
The city was captured, but at the moment the north of the city was quiet, the ground was in a mess, but the city gate could be opened. Kuai Liang knew at a glance that they must be the temporarily recruited defenders. Seeing that Wuling City was breached, he
He opened the city gate and escaped.
Now Kuai Liang doesn't have the time to blame the defenders who haven't even received formal training. Anyway, he has never placed hope on these defenders. The Kuai family guards behind him can't last long, and Kuai Liang has no intention of doing more.
To stay, just to gallop towards the city gate.
"Dang!" Just when Kuai Liang was about to pass through the city gate, a bang was heard suddenly, and countless soldiers and horses suddenly appeared on the left and right sides of the originally empty city gate, blocking the entire city gate tightly.
Kuai Liang and Cao Yin were startled by the sudden appearance of soldiers and horses, and they quickly tightened their reins to avoid running into the opponent's formation.
Kuai Liang's face was already ashen. At this time, Kuai Liang suddenly appeared. The enemy blocking their escape must be the enemy. All the personal guards around Kuai Liang stayed at the gate of the prefect's mansion to help them fend off the pursuers. Now Kuai Liang
Behind Liang, there was only one person like Cao Yin. How could they, two powerless scholars, break out from the hundreds of fierce soldiers on the opposite side?
"Don't move!" Just when Kuai Liang was about to turn his horse's head and prepare to escape, suddenly a cold touch came from his neck. Kuai Liang subconsciously froze his body, but his face was full of shock. Because
Kuai Liang has already recognized the owner of this voice, and it turns out to be Cao Yin who has been following Kuai Liang!
"Cao Yin! What do you want to do!" Kuai Liang never expected that Cao Yin would betray him at this time. Although he did not dare to move, he could shout and ask.
But at this moment, Cao Yin looked ferocious, even a little distorted, and said fiercely to Kuai Liang: "I'm sorry, eldest son! Instead of the two of us dying together, why not borrow the eldest son's head to help the lower officials?"
! This can be regarded as the reward for working as a cow and horse for the Kuai family over the years!"
Cao Yin is a smart man. Just looking at the formation of hundreds of enemy soldiers at the gate of the city opposite, he knows that it is impossible for the two of them to escape today. Cao Yin does not want to lose his life, of course.
We must seize every opportunity to survive, and Kuai Liang is undoubtedly Cao Yin's best bargaining chip. Immediately, Cao Yin held a sword in one hand against Kuai Liang's head, turned around and shouted to the soldiers at the city gate: "You guys
Listen! This person is the head of the Kuai family! I will hand him over to you and let you make meritorious deeds! But you must let me go, huh!"
Suddenly Cao Yin let out a muffled grunt, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble. Kuai Liang, who was held up by the sword in Cao Yin's hand, was also frightened by Cao Yin's tremor and broke into a cold sweat, fearing that Cao Yin would accidentally kill him.
Life. At this moment, Cao Yin's face was full of shock and pain, and a few streams of blood slowly flowed out from the corners of his mouth. He looked down at his chest and saw a bloody sword tip emerging from his chest.
Several more blood arrows spurted out from the tip of the sword.
Immediately afterwards, the sword tip turned sharply, and the heartbreaking pain immediately made Cao Yin tremble again. The sword in his hand could no longer be held and fell directly to the ground. Kuai Liang, who was no longer threatened by the sword,
I was also relieved, this was considered a narrow escape!
