First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 282

...

Seeing the dangling arrow inserted into the gap of the armor, Lin Zhisong was a little embarrassed, covered it, lay down on the horse's back, grinned and said, "This is realistic enough."

Then he looked at Jiang Baoyi, frowned and said, "General Jiang can't be in such a posture. He doesn't look like a defeated army with his head held high. You have to break up your hair and lie on the horse's back, so that there will be no flaws."

Jiang Baoyi was slightly taken aback, but after thinking about it carefully, it really made sense, immediately disheveled his hair, and bowed his head.

Seeing this, Lin Zhisong nodded in satisfaction, looked at the two hundred "remnants" behind him, waved and ordered, "All get off their horses, and get some dust on their faces and bodies."

After the words fell, the whole army stood still, Lin Zhisong rubbed his nose in embarrassment, Jiang Baoyi immediately said: "General Yilin will do it."

More than 3000 people headed towards Zhijiang City in "wretchedness", and not far behind, Gao Chong led [-] people followed closely. To be honest, cheating the city in broad daylight is very risky, after all, it is not conducive to hiding their whereabouts. But for Jiang Baoyi and others, they can see more clearly during the day, and it is very easy to reveal their flaws.

But Yidu is only a hundred miles away from Zhijiang, and they can arrive in about noon, but the march is exhausting, so Gao Chong made an agreement with Jiang Baoyi to start his action when the city gate is closed.

The reason why Gao Chong took the risk to act during the day was because time was running out, and the two cities refused to get too close. One night had passed, and Zhijiang City would definitely get news if it dragged on.

The second is because the Yangtze River has turned a big bend here, and the river bank is winding, which is good for concealment. With the opening of the elite scouts, it is possible to sneak out of Zhijiang City.

Of course, it is necessary to be bumped into by ordinary people and pedestrians on the road. For this, Gao Chong specially dispatched dozens of rangers to cruise around. If they can be captured alive, they will be captured alive. Do not hold soldiers.

There is a hidden river bay in the south of Zhijiang City. There were more than ten boats moored here. It was originally the private dock of a local wealthy family. Seeing the dozens of boatmen and guards who were no longer alive on the ground, Gao Chong expressed his deep apology.

After reconnaissance, only this place is the most hidden, suitable for Tibetan soldiers. Not to mention 3000 Tibetan soldiers, even if 1 people gather here, it is not easy to be discovered.

Gao Chong's original intention was to capture him alive as much as possible, but unexpectedly the steward of the dock was so brainless that he tore his face apart without understanding the strength of the two sides.

After resting here for less than half an hour, the sky darkened. Gao Chong checked the time and immediately ordered to assemble. This place is only three or five miles away from the south gate of Zhijiang. Once Jiang Baoyi lasts for a quarter of an hour, Gao Chong can lead the army Rush to the city gate.

Jiang Baoyi and the others did not hide their whereabouts, and came straight to the city gate. Liang Jun on the top of the city was already facing a formidable enemy, and Yang Junmao was also holding a big knife, looking into the distance solemnly.

"General Jiang, I must save my brother-in-law's life later," Lin Zhisong said worriedly.

"I'll try my best," Jiang Baoyi hesitated, and could only choke out three words. In his opinion, if Yang Junmao dared to resist, he would definitely capture the king first.

The matter has come to this point, and it is too late to regret, not to mention Jiang Baoyi's long spear is shining coldly, ready to attack at any time, Lin Zhisong gritted his teeth, and immediately ordered, "Speed ​​forward, don't show your flaws."

When he came outside the city gate, Lin Zhisong saw Yang Junmao at the head of the city at a glance, and he immediately looked overjoyed, "Brother-in-law, help me, I am Lin Zhisong", as he said, he brushed away the messy hair covering his face with his hands, and returned it with one hand. Don't forget to hold the arrow, "Brother-in-law, Yidu City is lost, Tang Jun is here, let me in quickly, I've been hit by an arrow."

Yang Junmao turned pale with shock when he recognized Lin Zhisong, "Zhisong, where are you... Tang Jun now?" Surprised, Yang Junmao did not forget to ask.

Lin Zhisong shook his head in horror, "I don't know, it should be behind me, brother-in-law, hurry up and open the city."

Yang Junmao's eyes froze immediately when he heard the words, as if he was hesitating, but at this moment Lin Zhisong became angry, "Brother-in-law, what do you mean by this, quickly open the city and let me in, if I die, my sister will not spare you."

Hearing these words, Yang Junmao, who was tall and burly, trembled all over, and immediately ordered: "Quick, open the city", and then hurried down the city.

It seems that Yang Junmao's degree of internal fear is no less than that of Fang Xuanling, a scholar of Qin Palace.

Seeing this, Lin Zhisong turned his head and said in a low voice, "Don't hurt his life."

Jiang Baoyi didn't respond, but gripped the spear tightly, ready to strike at any time, Lin Zhisong couldn't help sweating, and his hands were shaking.

The city gate creaked open, and Yang Junmao hurried out of the city, "How is Zhisong's injury?"

It seems that he really cares about Lin Zhisong's brother-in-law, Yang Junmao.

"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry for you," Lin Zhisong said with a wry smile, feeling that Jiang Baoyi was about to make a move.

"What?" Yang Junmao was taken aback, "What do you mean? Huh? Who is he?" Yang Junmao noticed Jiang Baoyi behind Lin Zhisong with a glance.

Jiang Baoyi raised his head sharply, swept the spear in his hand, and slapped Yang Junmao's waist. Yang Junmao came out of the city to meet him without a weapon. Seeing this, his eyes widened in horror, and he hurriedly dodged sideways. How can I miss it.

It was originally aimed at the waist, but because Yang Junmao dodged sideways in a hurry, the tip of the gun was slapped on his shoulder, Yang Junmao screamed and fell off the horse, the spear flashed, the cold light came first, and the tip of the gun was already at Yang Junmao's throat.

"Yang Junmao has been captured, who dares to act rashly?" Jiang Baoyi scolded angrily, staring.

"You...Lin Zhisong, why did you hurt me?" Yang Junmao cursed while clutching his shoulder with a headache.

Behind Jiang Baoyi, Tang Bing quickly stepped forward and placed the waist knife across Yang Junmao's neck.

"Sister, brother-in-law, listen to me, there are too many soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, we have no chance of winning, why not surrender," Lin Zhisong said hastily.

"Tang Dog is here, close the city gate quickly." Behind Yang Junmao, there are also several generals who are loyal to Xiao Liang. A school lieutenant hurriedly ordered to close the city gate when he saw this, while Yang Junmao's cronies surrounded him tightly, not daring to move rashly. .

"The Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have arrived, and those who descend will not be killed." Seeing that Yang Junmao was already under the control of Guo Ke, Jiang Baoyi shot him to the gate of the city.

Lin Zhisong was in a hurry, if he couldn't capture the city, not only would he not be able to make meritorious service, but Mr. Gao might want to take his anger out on him, so he shouted loudly: "I am Lin Zhisong, my brother-in-law Yang Junmao has already surrendered, and Xiao Liang has already surrendered." Dead, Datang Wansheng".

Hearing Lin Zhisong's shout, the Zhijiang garrison who didn't know why panicked. Yidu is adjacent to Zhijiang. Lin Zhisong and the Zhijiang garrison are no strangers. Did General Yang really surrender?Why did Daliang die?
In such a close fight, the situation is changing rapidly, and there is no room for hesitation. Jiang Baoyi seized the opportunity, took the lead, and led more than two hundred people straight into the city gate.
