At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 149 Attacking Siyang City at night, Li Xiaoci beheaded Dalu Huachi
Cheng Demi glanced at Li Xiaoci and remained silent.

Li Xiaoci lowered his head, feeling ashamed.

After withdrawing his gaze, Cheng De looked at the two dark bumps in his hand and sighed softly.

It's not that he dislikes food and can't eat it. After all, it's already so late, and if he eats something, it's already quite good, so there's no need to pick and choose.

He touched the two black bumps in his hands, but felt that the black bumps were very hard.

He was a little worried that if he took a bite, all his teeth would abandon him on the spot.

Li Xiaoci's head lowered, he thought it was his fault that he didn't find decent food for the general.

"Looking at you, you think this general can't eat these?" Cheng De glanced at Li Xiaoci, depressed in his heart.

Li Xiaoci remained silent, as if responding to Cheng De's words.

Cheng De put his hand on his forehead, he sighed in his heart: It seems that this Li Xiaoci is not like Liu Chongwu who can take care of others.Both are tall and tall, but their personalities are different.

The former is careful and cautious, while the latter is careless.

"This black lump is so hard, if you don't get me some water, how can I swallow it?" Cheng De said, feeling powerless in his heart.

Just now, he shouldn't have asked Li Xiaoci to find some food.

Hearing this, Li Xiaoci raised his head in a daze, and scratched his head embarrassedly: "General, this subordinate is going to get some water."

Seeing the back of Li Xiaoci rushing in one direction, Cheng De quickly reminded: "Water, remember to be hot."

However, Li Xiaoci was nowhere to be seen, Cheng De was speechless.

He also didn't know if Li Xiaoci heard this.

Well, just let him hear it.

Looking up at the sky, the sky is still the same, dark, and the sky is full of stars shining with crystal light.

For a moment, Cheng De's heart was rare to calm down.

What happened during the day today is really unforgettable for him.

This matter touched him greatly.

The people are still so cute.

Why from ancient times to the present, those high-ranking rulers are unwilling to treat the people kindly?

Always trying to find ways to suffer those people?

Cheng De thought about this question, and unconsciously fell into deep thought.

"Zhang Yu greets the general!"

A loud voice resounded in Cheng De's ears, interrupting Cheng De's thoughts.

Cheng De turned his head away and nodded, "Ye Dui and He Wenhui haven't arrived yet, just wait here with me!"

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "General, this subordinate is here to recommend two talents to the general."

After hearing this, Cheng De looked at Zhang Yu in surprise.

Zhang Yu met Cheng De's gaze, and said calmly: "During the time I was guarding Hongze City, I found two talents. Through conversation, I thought that it would be against their ability to keep them in Hongze City." It is a waste, it is better to let them follow the general, which can play a greater role."

Cheng De didn't respond immediately, but recalled everything about Zhang Yu in his mind.

Zhang Yu, like him, came from Zhang Village.

However, Zhang Yu's current official position was earned by killing enemies on the battlefield with a knife.

He had never heard of Zhang Yu's misbehavior.

According to the information of Jueshengwei and Jinyiwei, Zhang Yu is a leader who leads by example.

It can be said that Zhang Yu is worthy of his trust.

So Cheng De looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Tell me who those two are first?"

Zhang Yu: "Guo Xing and Guo Ying. They are biological brothers. The subordinates have known these two. They both participated in the siege of Haozhou City, and later participated in the battles of Hongze City, Huai'an City, and Jinhu City. .”

Cheng De stared in astonishment.

Guo Xing, Guo Ying?
I seem to have heard the names of these two people before. Although the memory is a little fuzzy, I am afraid that those who can leave a name in history are not mediocre people.

Thinking of this, Cheng De looked at Zhang Yu and said, "What positions do the two of them hold now?"

Zhang Yu said with a smile: "Both of them are head of a hundred households."

After thinking about it for a while, Cheng De said to Zhang Yu: "Let them come to me first and serve as my personal army head of a hundred households for a period of time. As for how they should be arranged in the future, I will use them according to their abilities."

After Zhang Yu heard this, he was overjoyed and said hastily, "My subordinates, Guo Xing and Guo Ying, are two brothers. Thank you, General!"

Cheng De shook his head: "If they are really talented, don't worry, your recommendation will definitely be indispensable. At that time, you will definitely be recorded in the credit book."

Zhang Yu showed excitement: "Thank you, General!"

"Where do He Wenhui and Ye Dui live? Why haven't they arrived yet?" Cheng De looked at Zhang Yu with doubts.

"General, He Junshi, and Ye Junshi, they live far away from here. It will take at least half an hour to arrive." Zhang Yu replied.

Cheng De estimated the time in his mind, and it was half an hour before He Wenhui and Ye Dui arrived here.

You can't just wait for half an hour.

Cheng De looked at Zhang Yuxin's happy appearance, and became even more curious about Guo Ying and Guo Xing.

Therefore, Cheng De fixed his eyes on Zhang Yu: "There is still some time now, you go and bring Guo Ying and Guo Xing to me, I want to meet them."

Zhang Yu didn't hesitate at all: "Follow the order!"

Immediately after, Zhang Yu quickly saluted Cheng De and left the General's Mansion in a hurry.

As soon as Zhang Yu left, Li Xiaoci came over with a bowl of water.

When Li Xiaoci got closer, Cheng De saw clearly that the water in the bowl was steaming.

Seeing this, Cheng De breathed a sigh of relief.

After receiving the bowl from Li Xiaoci, Cheng De held the bowl in his left hand and black bumps in his right, and soaked them in the hot water in the bowl in his left hand.

After soaking for a while, Cheng De picked up the black lump and put it in his mouth.

As soon as he took it in, Cheng De only felt astringent, bitter, and some inexplicable taste mixed in it.

Soon, Cheng De swallowed the two black lumps into his stomach, and drank the hot water in the bowl along the way.

"Hic—" Cheng De hiccupped with a long drag.

"Li Xiaoci, go and rest for a while. Tonight, we will have a big move, and then we will have to suffer a lot." Cheng De told Li Xiaoci.

Li Xiaoci quickly shook his head, he was not in the mood to rest.

He always kept his duty in mind.

Seeing Li Xiaoci's refusal, Cheng De didn't persuade him any more.

At this time, Zhang Yu brought the two of them to appear in front of Cheng De.

"Subordinate Zhang Yu (Guo Xing, Guo Ying) see the general!"

Cheng De waved his hand directly, looking at Guo Xing and Guo Ying behind Zhang Yu.

Guo Xing looks tall and burly, with cold eyes, but a calm demeanor.

Guo Ying, on the other hand, looked a little alert, seven feet tall, and younger.

"Guo Ying, Guo Xing!"

Hearing Cheng De called their names, Guo Ying and Guo Xing held their heads high.

Cheng De: "Have you ever read military books?"

Guo Ying and Guo Xing looked at each other one after another, and Guo Ying quickly replied: "General, we two brothers have read "Sun Tzu's Art of War""

Cheng De looked at Guo Ying and Guo Xing with satisfaction: "Zhang Yu recommended you two to me, saying that you two are very talented. Although I can't see it now, I believe Zhang Yu will not lie to me. You two From now on, I will be the head of my personal army and take charge of the guard. Of course, during the period when you are the head of the personal army, I will observe you secretly. If you are really capable, I will reuse it for you. I hope Don't disappoint Zhang Yu's trust in you."

There was a hint of surprise in Guo Ying and Guo Xing's eyes, and they were full of gratitude to Zhang Yu in their hearts.

"My subordinate, Guo Ying (Guo Xing), thank you, General!" Guo Ying and Guo Xing saluted one after another.

Cheng De smiled and said: "Li Xiaoci, in the past few days, you will hand over the matter to Guo Ying and Guo Xing, and I will have another appointment for you soon."

Li Xiaoci was startled, and his face showed surprise: "General, this...so fast?"

Although Li Xiaoci had expected that he would not be a soldier for Cheng De for a long time.

But he never thought that this day would come so soon.

Seeing Li Xiaoci's expression, Cheng De kept silent, thinking: Guo Ying and Guo Xing seem to be more reliable than Li Xiaoci.As for Li Xiaoci, a great general, how could he always let him be his own soldier?

A general's talent also needs training.

This time, the surprise attack on Siyang City can be tempered.

"Why so fast? Remember, handover as soon as possible, while you have time now, go over there now!" Cheng De said, pointing to a pavilion next to the conference hall.

Li Xiaoci heard the sound, and had no choice but to reply: "Yes."

Immediately, Li Xiaoci looked at Guo Ying and Guo Xing: "You two follow me over there!"

Cheng De saw Li Xiaoci, Guo Ying, and Guo Xing walking to the pavilion and talking, so he stopped looking at them.

at this time.

Wang Er showed up with He Wenhui and Ye Dui.

After Cheng De saw them appear, he said to Zhang Yu, He Wenhui and Ye Dui, "Go to the conference hall."

After all, Cheng De took the lead and walked towards the conference hall.

Wang Er saw that He Wenhui, Ye Dui, and Zhang Yu all followed Cheng De into the meeting hall, but he didn't see Cheng Wu and the others, but only saw Li Xiaoci talking with two people beside a pavilion.

Without thinking too much, he consciously waited outside the door of the meeting hall.

Cheng De waited for a few people to sit down, and then said: "At Haishi, I will lead an army of [-] to cross Hongze Lake by boat to the opposite bank, and then I will cut off the Yuan army's food and grass, and then burn them. Of course, this is just my preliminary plan. The plan that has been set is changing rapidly on the battlefield, and it is very likely that it will look different at that time."

"Zhang Yu listens!" Cheng De looked closely at Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu stood up immediately, puffed out his chest and responded, "This subordinate is here!"

"At the time of Xu, you are sitting on the wall of the east gate, and there are already [-] troops from me waiting for orders. They will obey your orders. All you have to do is to attract the attention of the Yuan army outside the east gate. To cover me crossing Hongze Lake. As for how to do it? You can beat the drums or shout to kill the Yuan thief, etc., and you must make the battle bigger." Cheng De told Zhang Yudao.

Zhang Yuying said: "Follow the order!"

"He Wenhui and Ye Dui listen to the order!"

When He Wenhui and Ye Dui heard that Cheng De had called their names, they got up quickly and said, "This subordinate is here!"

"I have already sent [-] troops at the south gate of Hongze City. What you have to do is to find ways to attract the attention of the Yuan army. Then tell the general of the [-] troops, Wu Haru, the method. , he will act according to the method you gave." Cheng De instructed He Wenhui and Ye Dui.

"Follow the order!" He Wenhui and Ye Dui responded.

The reason why this arrangement was made with He Wenhui and Ye Dui was that Cheng De knew Uharu well.

Because Uharu is a fierce general who is good at fighting, he relies on his own force very much, and usually seldom uses his brain, or doesn't use his brain at all.

Wu Haru is half of Semu blood and half of Han blood, who was accepted by Cheng De when he attacked Huai'an City earlier.

Later, Uharu fought with Cheng De and was promoted to a partial general because of his meritorious service.

It can be said that Uharu is more than enough to kill the enemy, and has almost no strategy.

After the arrangements were made, Cheng De felt a little more at ease.

"You all go down and get ready!" Cheng De said suddenly.

Zhang Yu, He Wenhui, and Ye Dui all saluted Cheng De and said, "This subordinate will leave!"

Cheng De returned to the study, ready to deal with some military affairs to kill time.

Once the hour of Hai is here, act immediately.

He secretly estimated the time, and it was still about an hour before Haishi.

After a while, there was an earth-shattering roar from the east gate of Hongze City.

Cheng De paused as he held the Chinese book in his hand.

Then, after he continued to process the paperwork for a while, more than half an hour had passed.

At this time, Cheng De put down the documents in his hand, took Li Xiaoci, Wang Er, Guo Ying, and Guo Xing with him, and headed towards the north gate of Hongze City.

On the way, he happened to meet Cheng Neng, and Cheng Neng consciously followed Cheng De.

When they arrived outside the north gate of Hongze City, there were already [-] elite soldiers waiting here.

Cheng Wu, Cheng Jing, Cheng Fan, and Cheng Kong came up to meet them. When they saw Cheng De, they said, "General, the arrangements have been made."

Cheng De looked up at the sky, estimated the time, then looked at Cheng Wu and the others and said, "There are [-] ships in total, and each ship can hold five soldiers, plus a helmsman, a total of six people can be carried on the ship. It takes only seven shipments to complete the shipment. Considering the wind direction and the speed of the water, each time, the round trip takes about half an hour, and it is estimated that all of them will reach the other side at the time of ugly hour. Now it is not too late, let the brothers go down and act immediately. Order to go down and transport the infantry first."

When Cheng Wu and others heard the words, they hurriedly passed on Cheng De's order.

Cheng De stood on the shore, watching the ship lift anchor and sail towards the opposite bank.

"For this operation, there are a total of [-] elite soldiers: [-] firecrackers, [-] infantry, [-] crossbowmen, and [-] cavalry. Li Xiaoci obeys orders!"

Li Xiaoci, who was standing behind Cheng De, was shocked for a moment, and hurriedly responded: "General, my subordinates are here!"

"Three thousand infantry are under your command!"

"Thank you, General!"

Seeing that Li Xiaoci seemed a little excited, Cheng De didn't say anything more.

And Guo Ying and Guo Xing looked at the excited Li Xiaoci with some envy.

As for Cheng Neng, Cheng Wu and others, they smiled.

In a flash of time, it was time for ugly.

Cheng De and his party all arrived near Hongze Station on the other side of Hongze Lake.

Things went smoothly, and Ru Zhongbai Dajun didn't find out.

Cheng De then led the army to march towards Siyang City at night.

As for the cavalry brought this time, most of them did not have horses.

Only about 100 people have horses, and of course Cheng De and Li Xiaoci are among them.

Of the 2000 cavalry, only 100 actually had horses.

Because Cheng De thought that after taking Siyang City, he would use the horses in Siyang City to arm the cavalry.

For this battle, Cheng De is full of confidence.

After all, Tuotuo had already brought the army to Qingjiang and Qinghe City.

Even if there are people stationed in Siyang City, it is estimated that there will not be many.

Along the way, Cheng De and his party kept silent.

After passing through several villages in a row, the people in the village seemed to be asleep, and Cheng De and the others didn't stay at all.

When Cheng De and his party were on the other side of Siyang City, he sent scouts to check if there was a bridge leading to the other side.

It didn't take long.

The spy in charge of investigating the nearby terrain reported: The bridge has been found.

Without the slightest hesitation, Cheng De led the army and stepped onto the bridge in the dark.

At this time, Cheng De's army was outside the south gate of Siyang City.

When Cheng De came to the foot of Siyang city three hundred steps away, he stood on a high hill and looked towards the wall of Siyang city.

At this moment, there are not many people patrolling the walls of Siyang City, only a dozen people.

Moreover, they were yawning all the time, looking sluggish.

Cheng De observed that the city wall of Siyang City was not high, only about three feet high.

Cheng De asked Li Xiaoci to cut down some trees nearby to make a ladder for attacking the city.

After an hour passed.

Ladders made six.

Taking advantage of the dark night, Cheng De ordered Li Xiaoci and the [-] infantry led by him to lightly lean the ladder against the city wall.

Afterwards, Cheng De took the lead in climbing one of the ladders, and Li Xiaoci, Cheng Neng, Cheng Jing, Guo Xing, and Guo Ying climbed the other ladders one after another.

They climbed the ladder very fast.

not long time.

Unexpectedly, Cheng De was surprisingly the first to climb up the city wall. Holding a long knife in his right hand, he charged towards the Yuan soldiers patrolling the city wall.

"There are enemy troops!!" Yuan soldiers on the city wall found Cheng De and his party, and shouted loudly, the voice was full of panic.

"Brothers, follow me to kill the Yuan thief!!" Cheng De roared fiercely, breaking the tranquility of the night sky in Siyang City.

"kill!!"

Shouts of killing echoed like mountains and seas.

Cheng De led Li Xiaoci and his party, and quickly killed all the Yuan troops on the wall of Siyang City.

The corpses of the Yuan army were lying on the ground in disorder on the city wall.

After leaving Cheng Neng and hundreds of people to clean up the battlefield and garrison the captured south gate, Cheng De hurried down the city wall.

And Li Xiaoci and Guo Ying also opened the city gate at this time, and the [-] troops outside the city gate flowed into Siyang City like a flood.

Riding on a tall horse, Cheng De led the army to kill Wanhu Mansion in the center of Siyang City.

Shout to kill and shake the sky! !
The originally dark Siyang City was suddenly brightly lit.

After waking up, many people in Siyang City looked out from the crack of the door.

Each of them was disturbed and pale.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Dalu Huachi of the Wanhu Mansion in Siyang City hurriedly packed up some things, took a hundred soldiers, and headed towards the east gate, preparing to go straight to Qinghe City to meet Tuotuo.

It's just that Dalu Huachi doesn't seem to be very lucky.

On the way, he met Li Xiaoci and his party of 3000 people.

It turned out that after taking down the South City Gate, when Cheng De led an army of [-] to attack Wanhu Mansion, he suddenly thought that the people in Wanhu Mansion might run away, so he arranged for Li Xiaoci to block the South City Gate.

Because the south gate is the direction leading to Tuotuo.

In order to prevent the taking of Siyang City from being known by Tuotuo, Cheng De arranged such an event.

Li Xiaoci was riding on a tall horse, looking at the Dalu Huachi who rushed over in a panic, a sneer appeared on his face, his eyes were dim, and he shouted: "Brothers, follow me!! "

"kill!!"

"kill!!"

Li Xiaoci was the first to rush out, riding on a horse, brandishing a long knife, like a god of death, harvesting Yuan soldiers one after another.

After Dalu Huachi met Li Xiaoci, he immediately regretted it.

He found that he was no match for Li Xiaoci at all, and wanted to leave those soldiers behind and run away alone.

But Li Xiaoci took Dalu Huachi as his credit, how could he let his credit fly away?

So he kept paying attention to Dalu Huachi, and when he saw that Dalu Huachi didn't want to fight him and wanted to run away, he pressed hard at every step.

After ten rounds of fighting, Dalu Huachi's head flew into the air, and Li Xiaoci took the opportunity to pick up Dalu Huachi's head.

At the same time, under the siege of [-] infantry, Dalu Huachi's [-] soldiers had all turned into corpses lying on the ground.

Afterwards, after Li Xiaoci sent people to clean up the battlefield, he led his troops to Wanhu Mansion and joined Cheng De.
