Fortunately, Lu You quickly gave Duan Ye the answer, "We have to control the city gate first. As long as the city gate is in our hands, we won't be afraid when the army enters the city. If there are no problems in the city, we can then take over the government offices. If there are problems,
, just stand firm and wait for help.”
Duan Ye's eyes suddenly lit up. Lu You was right. In ancient times, the most important thing in sieges was the city gate. As long as you control the city gate, everything is under control. Moreover, the city gate is such a big place, so it is not difficult to defend it.
.When Lu Guang's large army arrives, a big deal will be decided.
Thinking of this, Duan Ye suddenly felt that he was still far behind the people of this era. The ancients never lacked wisdom, and what he was better than them was just the memory of history. Especially this Lu You, who was powerful in martial arts and killed people like
Ma, not to mention being cruel and ruthless, his views in various aspects are also extraordinary, Duan Ye needs to be vigilant!
After all, Duan Ye is not naive enough to think that people don't mind at all when it comes to eye-catching revenge.
"However, there are nine gates in Gaochang City. I think we should control the west gate first." Duan Ye thought for a while and still thought that such a coincidence would not happen. Besides, with only 500 people, it is impossible to go around a large area.
The circle takes over several doors at the same time.
Lu You thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so he nodded in agreement.
The two reached an agreement, and the 500 cavalrymen accelerated towards Gaochang City.
Halfway through, Duan Ye suddenly smiled and asked: "Hey, tell me, the city gate is wide open and it looks peaceful. Could it be a trick? Is there an ambush in Gaochang City?"
Lu You curled his lips disdainfully, "Yes or no, it doesn't matter. I only know that we have knives."
Duan Ye laughed, and the two of them whipped their horses hard at the same time, and led the Qingqi to speed away.
A sergeant by the city gate was squatting in the corner and picking his teeth. Two of his soldiers were standing guard with spears in their hands. The sergeant stretched his waist and said, "You two, keep an eye on me. I'll go back for a while. I have something to say."
ah."
"yes."
But before the corpsman entered the small shack next to the doorway, he saw a burst of smoke to the west. Although the commander was usually lazy, he had been in the war after all. He quickly lay down on the ground and listened with his ears. Sure enough, there was the sound of horse hooves.
!
"Why are there cavalry coming from the west?" The commander was a little confused. Now that the Qin country is peaceful and the people are safe, and it is powerful in the world, who would be so ambitious that they dare to attack the border towns of Qin?
However, no matter what, there are no soldiers in Gaochang City now, the city gate is wide open, there is no need to be careless, and the gate guard is not there. The captain was about to order the city gate to be closed quickly, but he saw a blue and white flag in the distance, which was the military flag of the Di people.
!
"Huh, we are one of our own." Na Shichang breathed a sigh of relief and said to a group of soldiers who stretched their necks and looked to the west: "Okay, don't worry, that's our own army!"
"Oh~~~~~" The soldiers still burst out with a small cheer. In the past 20 years, the Qin army has been invincible. Although they are only garrison troops, they also have a share of the military power, right?
However, before they had time to cheer, the cavalry team had already rushed to the city gate. The chief held up his hat and was about to step forward to get acquainted with these military masters to see if there was any chance, but then
The galloping cavalry seemed to have no intention of stopping and dismounting even when they reached the city gate. Shi Chang was standing by the city gate hole, still blocking the road!
Lu You was not polite. How could he take such a small person seriously? With such a swing of the horsewhip, there was a bloodstain on Shi Chang's face, and he was beaten until he rolled on the ground.
"You?" Shi Chang was shocked and angry, and was about to go crazy when he saw three arrows shoot out with a "swish, swish, swish", and they all just passed by his body. When they hit the ground, the arrow shafts were still trembling. As you can imagine,
If those knights wanted to kill him, it would be easy!
"On the orders of the special envoy Chijie, the Commander-in-Chief Lu, who is in charge of the military campaigns in the Western Regions, we have taken over Gaochang. Please don't cause trouble!" Duan Ye reined in his horse beautifully, turned around and said. At this time, several knights quickly dismounted and took over the city.
The garrison who stood dumbfounded at the gate all disarmed.
Lu You even commanded Ruoding. Many of the soldiers in the city gate tower, archery tower, and battle tower were sleeping soundly with their swords in their hands. It can be said that the takeover was done without any bloodshed. The green and white flags and the standard equipment of the Qin Army were all in one color.
There was no doubt about their identity. Lu Guang's command arrow was revealed, and the city gate guard who was dragged out of his bed had no choice but to lower his head.
Next, Lu You left 100 people to guard the city gate, and agreed with Duan Ye that Lu You would go to the government office to take over the government office, while Duan Ye would lead his troops to the east gate, just in case.
Speaking of which, of course it is easy to take over the government office. I have just asked clearly at the city gate that the garrison does not need to be intimidated at all. It is all about pouring beans through bamboo tubes. Gaochang Governor Yang Han is not in the city at all!
As a prefect and a ruler, he was not in the city. His whereabouts were almost obvious. He could only go to Guzang! He went to discuss with Liangzhou Governor Liang Xi.
Duan Ye made a quick decision. Now that Yang Han has been gone for almost half a month, it is probably time to come back. Now that he has taken over the government office, there is no one there, so there is no need to worry. However, if Yang Han has not come back yet, he must not be allowed to come back.
The most fearful thing is that he is already very close to Gaochang, or simply entering the city, which will cause trouble!
He must be stopped!
Lu You agreed with Duan Ye's idea, so the two of them split up. Duan Ye didn't care about anything else, and took the 200 Qingqi that Lu You allocated to him through the main street of Gaochang and headed towards the east gate of Gaochang City at full speed.
Along the way, Duan Ye prayed all the way, Mr. Yang Han, Guzang City is doing well, why don’t you say anything else? Jin, Zhangye, Yinwuwei, just stay there. What’s good about Gaochang, don’t
It's too much trouble for me to come back.
Compared with other places in the Western Region, Gaochang City is much quieter. Due to its early surrender, it was directly included in the local governance system of the Qin Empire. Now it is no different from the counties and cities in the mainland. There is still one day left before the market in the city opens.
For a while, there were not many people on the street, and none of the shops were open.
Even so, hundreds of fierce-looking cavalrymen were galloping through the streets, which still caused a lot of comments from passers-by. However, they were very smart. Seeing the cavalrymen rushing into the desert, they hid on the side of the road.
"Whose soldiers are these? Doesn't the governor care?" A passerby was covered in dust, and he pointed angrily at the group of knights and cursed.
"This doesn't look like a soldier guarding the city. I'm afraid the prefect can't control it." Passerby Yi gloated.
Duan Ye couldn't care about their discussions, and he didn't have time to argue with them. He only knew how to speed up, speed up, and speed up again. Finally, the east city gate had fallen into his eyes!
The city gates were wide open, and the soldiers were not ready to fight. It seemed that everything was too late.
