Chapter 207 207: Xiaocheng chaos (forty-seven) [ask for a monthly ticket]
When the youth passed by, the atmosphere in the main account was chilling.
Brother Yi saw that he was late, and even his armor was only wearing armguards, shoulder armor and skirt armor, and he couldn't help but said in a strange way: "I don't want you to do some work on weekdays, and I leave the military affairs to others. You are also a general anyway, like this How can laziness set an example for the people below?"
The rising arc of youth disappears.
Just as he was about to answer, the old general sitting at the top had already sternly scolded his eccentric son, scolding his righteous brother so badly that his face turned green and pale, and he braced himself to apologize to the young man in public. Let things go.
The young man generously expressed that he didn't mind, but he couldn't help but smile in his heart——smile that this righteous brother only remembers to eat but not to fight.
Knowing that they won't be able to take advantage of it, they are still provocative.
Really why bother?
He takes his place.
asked: "Father, who committed the crime?"
Talking about business, the old general showed a bit of worry, and replied with a sigh: "It's just a bunch of thieves, nothing to be afraid of."
Young people can understand the subtext as soon as they hear it.
The little thief is not big, but he can startle himself. Presumably the little thief leading this group is a somewhat tricky warrior. He cupped his fists and said, "Since it's a gang of thieves, let my son deal with it. More than a thousand soldiers and horses will be ordered, and his head will be decapitated for the foster father to suppress."
Hearing the young man's murderous words, the old general couldn't help showing a gratified smile. He stroked his beard in satisfaction, and scolded with a smile: "What are you talking about. You have to pick off people's heads all day long. It's not too frightening, and you're not afraid of others talking about you."
The young man was confident and confident, with an attitude of "it's normal for me to say so": "When you go to battle and kill the enemy, you talk about 'you die and live'. Don't talk about picking off the head, why do you have to ask people if they are willing to give their heads to their sons? Sons are willing to ask, people I won't give it either."
His words amused the old general.
The old general laughed heartily, and the other generals also laughed.
One person flattered: "The major general is very brave, as long as he goes out, the little thief can only be caught without a fight."
The young man looked around and didn't know why.
So he also smirked to cater to everyone.
Inwardly, he secretly rolled his eyes.
Got another message—
The leader who commands the little thief is probably stronger than everyone else, but inferior to him. Otherwise, this kind of credit would not fall to himself. As he thought about it, he heard the old general say: "It's good that my son has a heart, but you don't need to be a thief like that."
The young man was slightly taken aback.
asked in a low voice: "The adoptive father called his son over..."
The old general glanced at the staff envoy.
The envoy of the staff came forward and said: "Major General, be safe and don't be impatient."
Young people feel a little uneasy.
At this time, the old general had already begun to order his generals. The young man listened quietly, but found that the soldiers and horses dispatched by the old general were marching in the opposite direction to Xiaocheng, and they were still in three different directions. Even the brother-in-law who is intensively practicing "yin and yang strange qi" was arranged to lead a thousand soldiers to support him.
The more young people looked at it, the more confused they felt, and they couldn't see the situation of the battle clearly.
Why divide the troops so many ways?
Or-
A bold and absurd guess emerged in the young man's heart.
These ways of dividing the troops are to meet different forces?
The young man twitched his lips.
If this is the case, it is really fast.
How many days have passed since the late night change?
Waiting for all the generals to leave, only the young man and the old general's confidantes and veterans, and the envoy of the king's staff remained.
The youth frowned wildly.
The old general said in a deep voice: "Gong Xiqiu, listen to the order!"
When the young man got up, he transformed into a complete set of armor.
The clang of metal collision, crisp and powerful.
He said: "The end is here!"
The old general said: "I ordered you to lead 12,000 people to capture Xiaocheng before the third watch today, and the envoys will assist you from the side."
This order completely exceeded the expectations of the youth.
Xiaocheng's current defense, let him lead 12,000 people to attack, is there enough time to limit it before the third watch? ? ?
Intuition tells the youth that there is no such a good thing.
The old general knew his background very well.
This military order is too "easy".
The young man endured it, rolled his Adam's apple, and finally swallowed back what he wanted to ask, and said firmly: "The last general will obey the order!"
The old general said again: "After the city is captured..."
He said and looked at the staff envoy.
continued: "You will follow the messenger's arrangement."
The young Gong Xichou nodded to express his understanding, even though he had already begun to scold his mother in his heart—to this staff envoy, Gong Xichou expressed that he was really annoying. The latter still targeted him intentionally or unintentionally, and this time, he still doesn't know what kind of bad water this guy is going to create.
Seeing this situation, the old general changed his previous seriousness, and repeatedly urged: "Ah Nian, after breaking the city, don't disobey the envoy."
The young man said: "Yes, my son knows."
The old general was very relieved.
"Okay, okay, father is waiting for my son to triumph."
The young man's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is there any drink?"
The old general pretended to be serious: "Alcohol is prohibited in the army, but if Ah Nian really wants, Father can take you out for two jars."
For a while, the father and son had a happy atmosphere.
It doesn't feel like being in a military camp at all, it's like being at home.
There was a tricky smile on the corner of the staff envoy's lips.
Although he disappeared in a flash, he was still captured by Gong Xiqiu, and he felt very uncomfortable. After receiving the military order from the main tent, preparations for the siege began. The staff envoy who was traveling with him suddenly asked him: "Why isn't the major general curious at all?"
Gong Xiqiu asked back: "What are you curious about?"
Staff Messenger: "Of course I'm curious why the city suddenly attacked?"
Gongxi Qiu smiled and said: "Isn't marching and fighting just to siege cities and land? It's a waste of time and waste of food and grass like before. The general only knows to obey the military orders, and he doesn't want to know or be curious about the rest. What do you think?"
The aides and envoys did not speak.
He changed the subject and asked a very strange question.
"Major General's family name is 'Gong'? This surname is rare."
Gong Xiqiu didn't even bother to give alms with contemptuous eyes, so how could he be trusted by King Xi's henchmen at this level?
I really want to laugh out loud.
He said coldly: "My surname is 'Gongxi'."
The surname is not "gong"!
Of course, if the staff envoy's surname is "Mother", he doesn't mind being ridiculed for his surname "Gong". Gong Xiqiu took a long-legged stride and increased his stride, wishing to shake off the staff envoy. However, the staff envoy asked again: "Father's family name is 'Gongxi'? This surname is also rare."
Gong Xiqiu said: "Our family only follows our mother's surname."
The staff messenger seemed to suddenly think of something.
"This custom and this surname, could it be the 'Gongxi tribe' who lived in seclusion hundreds of years ago? I have heard of it occasionally, but I heard that this tribe was not—" Before he finished speaking, the tip of a knife reflected faintly Ziguang's dagger was pressed against his throat, and the staff envoy raised his eyes to look at Gong Xichou, and with a sneer, pushed the blade away.
"The major general is very concerned about this matter."
Gong Xiqiu shouted in a low voice, "Who are you?"
Gong Xichou: "..."
Seeing that he was silent, the staff envoy smiled slightly, showing two rows of bright teeth, and asked maliciously, "Does the Major General know what to do after breaking the city?" There is not a single live dog left in the city!"
Gong Xichou: "..."
"Does the Major General find this familiar?"
Gong Xiqiu said lightly, "I don't think so."
The staff envoy asked: "What do you think of this move, Major General?"
Gong Xiqiu said: "I will obey orders."
The implication is that he will do as he is ordered.
The staff envoy heard the words: "Haha, very good, very good..."
Gong Xichou: "..."
Lin Feng heard Gong Xichou kicking open the tent and swearing words such as "sick". Tu Rong, who was grinning and applying medicine to himself, also looked over and murmured to himself who got mad at him.
Gong Xiqiu said: "Speak loudly."
Tu Rong obediently said loudly: "Are you being **** at?"
Gong Xichou: "..."
Tu Rong is definitely one of the toughest boys he has ever seen, he can speak loudly, and dare to say anything. Although he would do the same, he is a fake tiger, while Tu Rong is a real tiger. He hummed heavily and said, "No one!"
Tu Rong muttered: "It doesn't look like..."
Gong Xichou: "..."
Lin Feng and Tu Rong watched Gong Xiqiu with a weapon hanging on his waist, came in a hurry, and left in a hurry, coupled with the constant footsteps outside the tent and the sound of weapons colliding from time to time, they all sensed that the war was about to break out. Dangerous breath.
Lin Feng asked: "Is there going to be a war?"
"Do you still remember where your feet are?" Gong Xiqiu sneered, and ordered two trusted confidants to **** Lin Feng and the two of them to leave. Asked, "Did you two rely on me?"
Lin Fengdao: "No, I just don't understand..."
There was no sign before, but now with such an arrangement, Lin Feng always felt that something was going to happen, and it was still a bad thing.
Gong Xiqiu said: "Either go or stay."
He dropped a poisoned dagger.
Lin Feng stopped asking.
The two and a half-year-old children put on the old clothes brought by Gong Xichou's confidant, and their clean cheeks were covered with dirty mud. There are boxes containing the ashes of loved ones.
Lin Feng didn't dare to cry, but when he turned his head, he saw from a distance a group of banners waving in the wind like dark clouds.
She opened her mouth, as if guessing something.
Tu Rong said: "Junior Sister, don't look at it."
The two confidantes had received the favor of Gong Xichou before, and they also admired the invincible majesty of the major general on the battlefield, and they loved him with all their hearts. The two of them were very excited when they received the **** task entrusted by Gong Xiqiu himself, and they patted their chests and promised to complete it.
One of them asked: "Is there a place for the two little brothers?"
For convenience, Lin Feng was also dressed as a boy.
Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "Yes."
She doesn't know where her husband is at this time, but she knows where to try her luck, but—we don't know the enemy, she can't lead them to the village, for fear of bringing the flames of war there.
decided to go up to the middle of the mountain, and they walked the rest of the way by themselves.
Thinking about going home soon, I felt much more at ease.
The man smiled and said, "That's good."
The Xiaocheng garrison couldn't laugh at all at this time.
The soldiers on the sentry tower detected tens of thousands of rebels approaching from a long distance, and immediately passed the news on. The soldiers on the city gate could not see so far, and could only vaguely see dust rising in the distance.
Looked up at the sky: "It's not the hour yet, is it?"
The rebels threw the corpses of civilians into the city regularly every day.
The people are panicked. In the past two days, hundreds of people have developed the same symptoms one after another, and the onset is more rapid. It only takes three days from the onset of the symptoms to the sudden death. In Xiaocheng, the people were in panic, if the county government hadn't come forward to rectify and appease, the situation would have been even more serious.
Come again today.
The soldiers defending the city thought they were coming to throw the corpse again.
But when the rebels approached and saw that they were fully armed, they knew something was wrong, so they immediately sounded the warning horn. But what they never expected was that the style of the rebels today is quite different from the past.
In the past, it was slow and procrastinating, but today it is like a sharp sword out of its sheath.
As soon as the formation stood still, arrows rained down from the sky like a tide.
Some soldiers couldn't react in time, fell to the ground with an arrow, and fell off the city wall.
After three breaths, the second wave of arrow rain is about to strike again.
The soldiers were desperate.
"Dare you, a thief!"
Just then, I heard a shout! When it fell into the ears of the soldiers in the garrison, the dejected spirit suddenly lifted!
"Don't panic, lords, defend against the enemy with me!"
It turned out to be a brave warrior who took over the duties of Captain Yang temporarily and commanded the garrison. He was tall and burly. Although his strength was only a seventh-class official, he was experienced and calm. Defense is offense. As soon as he came forward, the soldiers in the garrison had a backbone, and their morale soared.
The morale condensed into a whirl, coming together, and the aura of the brave fighters increased steadily under this blessing. At the same time, the martial energy on the warrior's body is also divided into three or four hundred, which are submerged into the soldier's body respectively. These three or four hundred people are all in one piece.
"This is a filial city, thieves are forbidden!"
As the loud shout spread, the city wall under the feet was suddenly raised by tens of feet—no, it wasn't that the city wall was raised, but a wall of martial energy that was more than ten feet thick rose outside the city wall. The rain of arrows jingled as it landed on the wall, causing dense ripples.
After this wave of arrows rained down, there were no cracks.
However, no one showed joy at this.
Everyone knows that this is just a wave of temptation by the enemy.
Look at the size of the enemy, ranging from tens of thousands.
Although I have the convenience of a city, Xiaocheng has been destroyed several times before, and I can only barely use it for repairs. If I encounter a ruthless character, I am afraid that it will be completely scrapped. When the brave warrior saw the rebel army coming down from the city, his face became even more livid.
At this time, the rebels all stopped. The two rows of people separated neatly, and a young general rushed out.
He is Gong Xiqiu.
Gong Xichou is no nonsense.
"Surrender now and save your life!"
His voice was not loud, but it could be clearly heard by everyone on the city wall, and the garrison was furious.
The brave fighters who led the troops were also angered.
Come up and let people surrender to Kaesong to save their lives.
This kid is really arrogant!
He said: "Yellow mouth child, presumptuous!"
Needless to say, just hit it!
All of a sudden, on the city walls and under the city walls, rhythmic high-pitched war drums sounded, and the momentum soared into the sky, stirring up the atmosphere of heaven and earth to riot.
The movement alarmed several people.
"Report—the enemy led more than ten thousand troops to attack the city!"
Message The soldiers passed the news to the county guard's office in the city.
Wu Yuan's face suddenly changed.
Gu Chi looked indifferently in the direction of the city wall, and stood up.
"Don't panic, let's go and have a look."
It was Shen Tang and his party who moved faster than Gu Chi.
