Chapter 480 Eyes of the Scarecrow

The messenger repeated what Dou Jiande said exactly, without adding or missing a single word. The matter is of great importance, and the messenger does not want to take any responsibility for it.According to Dou Jiande's arrangement, he ordered Su Dingfang to attack Yuncheng immediately, and he must conquer Yuncheng within three days, because he will personally lead the army to attack Yanyun Village in Juyeze. After conquering Yuncheng, he was stationed on the spot, and he and the army led by Dou Jiande became horns of each other.

There was nothing wrong with this order, and even Su Dingfang felt that he should be happy, but for some reason, he always had an inexplicable worry in his heart.His vanguard battalion is only responsible for attacking Yuncheng, not participating in the attack on Juyeze Yanyun Village. In any case, it is much easier and simpler than attacking Juyeze. Juyeze is the best place in the world that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Under a strong attack, the losses are bound to be extremely heavy.Although Yuncheng used to be the prefecture of Dongping County, and its defenses were repaired and strengthened after the capture of Yanyunzhai, it was still just a small city.

The city wall of Yuncheng is only less than two feet long, and there are no scary bed crossbows on the city wall, no horse faces built, and not many archery towers. Wan, conquering Yuncheng is by no means a daunting task.

As for the attack on Juyeze, even if Dou Jiande has more than 8 soldiers and more than 2 auxiliary soldiers, he still has little chance of winning.

Su Dingfang couldn't speculate that Dou Jiande's arrangement had any special significance, but he somehow felt terrified.He had already thought about it before, and he planned to conquer Yuncheng without Dou Jiande's order, and quickly retreat northward after the big victory, so that the people in Yanyunzhai could not figure out the routine.However, after Dou Jiande's order arrived, he hesitated instead.

Gathered the generals to discuss for a long time, and everyone also felt that attacking Yuncheng was much better than attacking Juyeze. Since the lord also arranged this way, it was exactly what everyone wanted.

"If you take Yuncheng, you will stand still!"

Don't think about Du's ideals and said: "Since the lord let our vanguard battalion only be responsible for supporting, this is definitely not a bad thing for our vanguard battalion. Why not do it? After capturing Yuncheng, the troops will not move. If the lord's side If it goes well, naturally we don't need to join in the fun, if it doesn't go well... let's guarantee that the lord's army will have no worries, and the lord will not blame us, after all, this is what he arranged for himself."

"It's easy for you to think!"

General Lang Ren Dongcheng said angrily: "If the lord's attack is frustrated and the troops are seriously depleted, we will transfer our vanguard battalion immediately! Do you think you can escape? Dreaming, let alone, the lord's military order said Let us conquer Yuncheng within three days, why are you in such a hurry, have you considered it?"

"why?"

Du Li asked subconsciously.

"Pioneer Battalion. Pioneer Battalion!"

General Lang Ren Dongcheng shouted in a low voice with some annoyance: "When did you see that the vanguard battalion was transferred to the rear team? The meaning of the lord is obvious. He asked us to attack Yuncheng first, but why did we make us feel guilty for three days? According to the normal marching speed, the lord’s army will only take three days to reach Yuncheng! I’m afraid that after we take down Yuncheng, the lord’s army will arrive, and then the vanguard battalion will immediately continue to attack Juyeze, do you really think? My lord will let the vanguard battalion go to the rear?"

"what?"

Du Li was taken aback, and said embarrassingly: "You mean, the lord is using us as knives?"

"No nonsense!"

Su Dingfang reprimanded and continued: "The Pioneer Battalion is originally a knife, the sharpest knife in the Lord's hand. If not, what's the use of the Pioneer Battalion? Besides, the Lord has always followed orders. When will you take military orders?" Was it a joke?"

Seeing the general's statement, Su Dingfang's subordinates did not dare to say anything presumptuously.

Among them, Su Lei and Ren Dongcheng are Su Dingfang's most trusted people, so they naturally know why Su Dingfang doesn't let them talk.After all, the Pioneer Battalion is a team that the general took over not long ago. Who knows how many people in the army are Xia Wang'an's eyeliner?Today's words will reach King Xia's ears in a few days.King Xia's temperament has changed drastically in recent days, and several former confidant generals have been arrested and imprisoned by him one after another. Who dares to suffer at this time?

Thinking of this, Ren Dongcheng regretted what he said just now.

He subconsciously looked at Su Dingfang, but saw that the general's expression was not displeased.

"Dong Cheng!"

He was looking over, and it happened that Su Dingfang also looked over and called him.

"Please command the general!"

Ren Dongcheng stood up and said.

"My lord's military order cannot be delayed. Yuncheng must be captured. You personally bring 5000 troops to attack the city tomorrow morning. I have seen it in person. The city wall at the west gate of Yuncheng is the lowest, and there is no mace. Take it yourself. Soldiers go up, the Vanguard Battalion is at the forefront, we can't let the lord underestimate us, the lord has a limit of three days, we will take down Yuncheng in one day, so that those people in Yanyun Village can see what a soldier is !"

"Here!"

Ren Dongcheng stood upright, and responded loudly.

Su Dingfang nodded his head, his eyes were complicated when he glanced at everyone.He comforted himself in his heart, after taking down Yuncheng, if the lord really had no other arrangements, stationing in Yuncheng would also be a good choice.

……

……

In an abandoned small temple in Yuncheng, several people dressed as soldiers from Yanyunzhai walked in one after another, leaving one person to watch the wind at the door, and the others went straight in and gathered in the backyard of the small temple.

Their attire is exactly the same as the Yanyun Army soldiers guarding the city, but they are spies sent by Dou Jiande to the Yanyun Army a few months ago.It's just not long since I arrived at Yanyunzhai, just in time for the secret agents of Yanyunzhai's military inspection office to thoroughly investigate the army's violations of discipline. An opportunity to make a difference.

A while ago, the secret agents of the military inspection office found out many spies sent by various rebels to Yanyun village, most of them had their heads chopped off. They lived in fear for several months, but luckily they were not caught. Make them all feel lucky.The military inspection office in Yanyun Village and the sentry camp in Wagang Village have always been the nightmare of the spies. They can survive the purge, it has to be said that it is the favor of Goddess of Luck.

The leader of Xia Jun's spies is Meng Si, who is Dou Jiande's fellow villager, and he is also proud of it. Although Dou Jiande has long forgotten him, he still feels that he is superior to others.It was Nayan Song Zhengben's suggestion that he went south to enter the Yanyun army this time, and Dou Jiande didn't even know that there was a fellow countryman among the people he sent.

But Dou Jiande didn't know, but the general who assigned the task knew, so Meng Si became the leader of these people, but it has to be said that this person was indeed very cautious in his actions.

"General Su Dingfang's troops are less than [-] miles away from the city, and they may attack the city someday. Now that we have arrived in Yuncheng, we can't pretend to be cowards."

Meng Si glanced at a few of his subordinates, and said in a deep voice: "When I was on duty on the city wall these days, I could see scouts from Daxia coming to investigate, but the scouts couldn't enter the city, so naturally they didn't know the details of Yuncheng. .General Su Dingfang has not attacked for a long time, so he must have not figured out how many defenders there are in Yuncheng. The general doesn't know, but we know!"

Meng Si paused and said: "This time there are no more than 2000 people who came out from Juyeze to defend Yuncheng, but there are many straw people planted on the city wall as suspicious soldiers. Our Daxia scouts can't see clearly from a distance. It is inevitable to think that there are many defenders in Yuncheng. We must find a way to spread this news, as long as General Su Dingfang knows that Yuncheng is empty, he will attack immediately!"

"What is the purpose of our coming south? It is to relieve King Xia's worries, and also to seek a better future for ourselves! If we assist General Su Dingfang to conquer Yuncheng, will our contribution be small?"

He whispered: "The civil servants and common people in Yuncheng have withdrawn a long time ago. When we entered the city, we could see clearly that even the county government office was empty. Li Xian's man clearly lacked troops, so he had to come up with such a method."

"But, brigade rate, how do we send the news out?"

His subordinate Wang Xue said depressedly: "The four gates are all sealed, we can't get out at all!"

"Idiot, if you can't get out of the city gate, why don't you think of other ways?"

Meng Sidao: "I am on duty tonight. I will find a way to bring you up and prepare the ropes. Today, Wang Xue, we will use the ropes to take you down from the top of the city. You go and take you up." Tell General Su Dingfang the truth about the city!"

"what?"

Wang Xue froze for a moment and hesitated: "I... am afraid of heights."

"Well, you stay here, and I will go out of the city myself. When the time comes when General Su Dingfang attacks the city, you guys in the chaos army should be more careful, and don't be killed by our people. In the chaos, no one will be able to tell who we are. My own people!"

"That... brigade rate, I've made up my mind. It's better for my subordinates to go out of the city. Although my subordinates are afraid of heights, they want to serve King Xia more. Let alone high, so what if they die?"

Wang Xue stood up, patted himself on the chest and said, "Don't worry, I will complete your explanation."

Meng Si and the others all looked at him with mocking smiles on their faces.

……

……

At midnight, except for the occasional footsteps of the patrols passing by, the city wall was extremely quiet. According to the order of General Luo Fu who guarded Yuncheng, a straw man was placed on the city wall every three steps, and every three steps was a straw man. There was only one soldier in the middle of the day, and the soldiers under General Luo Fu knew that the general did it out of helplessness. There was a serious shortage of troops, and only 2000 people were dispatched to defend Yuncheng. How could they stop it?
