Chapter 1392 Capture of Bright Moon City (10)

Nangong Bing tilted his head and thought for a while, and felt that Zhao Hu really had a better chance of winning. When he thought of this, he immediately became excited: "Third uncle, if the lord becomes the master of this land, how can our Nangong family win?" Isn't it possible to rise immediately?"

Nan Gongdun sighed: "If we don't do anything, I'm afraid the whole family will be completely destroyed by then. Don't forget what the lord sent me back for. Not only did I not take any action, but I was planning to seek refuge in Mingyue City."

Nangong Bing immediately panicked. He was just happy that his third uncle was Zhao Hu's first retainer, but he didn't expect that his third uncle didn't make any contribution at all, and even betrayed Zhao Hu for a while.He hurriedly said: "Then what should we do? Immediately hand over the secret guard to the lord? Or should we cut off the head of City Lord Mingyue and offer it to the lord?"

"The secret guards need all the elders and the head of the family to sign together to use it. Those stubborn old people will not agree to change the target of allegiance without seeing the real evidence. Now their minds are full of how to get the reward of the thousand stones.

"As for assassinating the city lord of Mingyue? Is a city lord so easy to assassinate? Unless you dispatch ten secret guards and spend a lot of time lurking, you will have a chance. If people like us go to assassinate, I'm afraid they will be shot into hedgehogs before they get close." Nangong Dun shook his head and said.

"Then what should we do?" Nangong Bing asked nervously.

"Now we can only contact the lord, and at the same time call all the warriors in the family who are willing to obey our orders, and cooperate with the cavalry to intercept and kill those private soldiers in Mingyue City. The other big credits can only be earned when attacking the city." Nan Gongdun said .

"Third Uncle's method is good. We can spend our money and bring out the surviving secret guard candidates, and let them sneak around the city gate to wait for the opportunity. When the lord attacks the city, we can take the opportunity to open the door and capture or kill the Mingyue City Lord at the same time." , The biggest credit for these two things belongs to our family!" Nangong Bing said excitedly.

"Well, it seems that you have begun to learn how to serve the family. The task of contacting the lord will be entrusted to you, and I will be responsible for leading the team into the city to lurk. Remember, when you meet as the young master of the Nangong family, you must behave well. , be more respectful, because even if you become the Patriarch of Nangong, he is also the master who can destroy our family at any time.

"However, don't tell the lord about sending people to open the city. After all, we can't guarantee success. It would be bad to say it earlier. You can tell me when the city is broken, and I will give you the signal." Nangong Dun said with a smile on his face. Said seriously.

Of course Nangong Bing knew the importance of this matter and nodded fiercely.

Watching Nangong Bing leave with a few guards, Nangong Dun turned his gaze to the towering Mingyue City, gritted his teeth slightly, turned around and left with the rest of the guards.

It was getting late, the city was lit, and the guards in the city began to work strictly.However, the main focus was on preventing spies, and did not pay special attention to city defense.

No wonder they are so careless, you must know that no idiot will walk at night these days, because the road facilities of this era guarantee that you will fall to your death not long after you go out at night.

Night attack?No matter how powerful the generals were, they would not issue this order, because the troops were rushing in the dark, at least they would break up due to blurred vision, and at the same time, some people would take the opportunity to become deserters.

What's worse is that there will definitely be some people who either fell and died while walking, or were trampled to death by their own people. In these situations, [-] to [-]% of them went before they got close to the enemy's troops.

As for lighting the torches?That's not a night attack, but an open fire to die. The enemy hiding in the dark can shoot the target easily, shooting off the person holding the torch.

Therefore, in this era, there will be no night raids in the battle between the two sides, and it is impossible to light up night battles in the wild. Unless the enemy and us are in the same city, night battles are possible.

When it was just getting dark that day, a sentry on the Mingyue City Tower, leaning against the wall and dozing off lazily, noticed the light, stretched his waist, yawned, rubbed his eyes, and moved his hands and feet.

The sentry, who was obviously an old fritter, looked around, and approached another sentry and whispered: "You know? Most of the local tyrants and retainers didn't arrive on time, hehe, if there is no reasonable explanation, their territory will be destroyed." Confiscated! Ah, I really hope those guys become pariahs."

The other sentinel was obviously a rookie, and he asked a little nervously, "Brother, is there a big war? Otherwise, the lord will not issue a summoning order."

The old fritter sentinel said disdainfully: "There is no big war, but the untouchables at the civilian wharf are making trouble. My lord sent 7000 people to destroy them, and later sent all the cavalry, [-] elite soldiers and [-] heavy cavalry to fight against them." Even if there are tens of thousands of those untouchables, so what?"

The new sentinel thought for a moment and said, "Uh, could it be that those untouchables contacted other untouchables to make trouble together? Otherwise, the lord would not have issued a summoning order, and those local tyrants would not have come to join us so far."

The old fritter sentry rubbed his chin: "Well, it's possible, otherwise those local tyrants would dare to disobey the order of the lord, but why didn't a messenger come? And we sent so many messengers yesterday and none of them came back? They It is impossible to stay and accept the entertainment, this matter is dangerous."

It's no wonder that these little soldiers speculated wildly. The Mingyue City Lord thought that the rebellion was only circulated among the upper echelons. After all, such a shameful thing, before it made a big fuss, the senior officials didn't want the people below to know.

The old fried dough stick sentry said this, seeing Xin Ding's nervous expression, he couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Well, our Mingyue City is as stable as a mountain, and we won't encounter any danger when we stay in the city, you just give it to us." I'll concentrate on being a sentinel." As he spoke, the old You Tiao's expression suddenly changed, and he set up a pergola to look out.

And Xin Ding also learned to look out when he saw this. As soon as he saw a vague shadow appearing on the horizon in the distance, Xin Ding immediately asked in a panic: "Is it the enemy?"

After seeing the flag flying in the distance, the old Youtiao patted Xin Ding on the head and laughed: "What enemy, didn't you see the flag? It's the brother sent out yesterday. But when did they become so diligent? Going on the road before dawn?" Reported upwards while talking.

He is a small sentinel who has no authority to order the gates to be opened.

Although the city gate officer who was woken up in advance by the old fritters was very unhappy, he still appeared at the gate tower cursing. After a closer look, it was indeed a friendly army.

When he opened his mouth to say something, he suddenly remembered the command that the lord had given him, not to open the door without permission. He scratched his head, looked at the towering main building, and looked at the dimly lit sky. He sighed and said to the old fritter sentinel: " When they come, tell them that they need to report to the lord before they can open the door, and let them wait outside the city." Said and ran away.

The old fritter sentinel was dumbfounded immediately: "Isn't it? Let me, a little soldier, let these thousands of people hang out? Damn! I knew you didn't dare to disturb the lord's sleep because of this matter! But what you said just now should be you, the city gate official. Why did you let me, a little soldier, say it? Am I not afraid of being yelled at and cursed by them? It really crushes people to death!"

The old You Tiao muttered to this point, and suddenly stared at Xin Ding with bright eyes. After seeing Xin Ding uncomfortable, he patted Xin Ding on the shoulder with a smile on his face and said, "Little brother, listen to what the city gate officer said just now." Are you here? Brother, my eyes are sleepy now, and I need to catch up on sleep, and I will let you deal with those brothers calling the door."

As he spoke, he covered his ears and hid aside.

The new sentinel was also dumbfounded. He looked at the old fried dough stick who was already snoring pitifully, and saw that all the sentinels around him had turned into sleepy bugs, so he had no choice but to admit it.

It seems that not only the first rank of officials can crush people to death, but even older soldiers can crush recruits to death.

The helpless rookie sentinel could only watch boredly that the troops in the distance were getting closer and closer, and suddenly found that the teammate army paused for a while when they were about to approach the city, and then several people ran back and forth, and the team shook. Then put out a neat formation and began to approach.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xin Ding couldn't figure out why these brothers had to form a neat queue when they returned to the city.

At this time, the old Youtiao suddenly woke up and leaned against the side, looked at them and smiled: "Those idiots thought the Lord would see them, and they don't even think about what time it is, who would watch them pose early in the morning?" Oh, it seems that the harvest is not small, it has loaded dozens of large carts.

"Well, what about the cavalry? Are they still sleeping? It should be possible. Those cavalry are very proud and don't bother to talk to us infantry."

Xin Ding heard the words and took a closer look. Sure enough, dozens of carts were built quite high at the back of the team, covered with canvas and tightly tied with ropes. It seemed that the rewards were great, Xin Ding couldn't help showing that Envious look.

Seeing the team getting closer, the old You Tiao said, "Remember, I'll leave it to you to deal with it."

Side of the body retracted back.

It was the first time for Xin Ding to speak in front of so many people, and he straightened his clothes nervously. This action made the sentries who were peeping at him nearby couldn't help but chuckle.

The rookie is now focusing on the team and doesn't care about being laughed at.Looking at the team outside the city, Xin Ding found that the carts that were originally at the back began to overtake the team, and slowly squeezed to the front. Seeing this, Xin Ding thought that these guys were going to put the seized first in order to show off when they entered the city .

But as the team moved forward, the rookie felt more and more nervous, and at the same time felt that the team was a bit strange, what was it?Yes, it was very quiet. Apart from the sound of footsteps and the sound of weapons colliding with so many people marching, there was no other sound at all, and the whole team seemed to be enveloped in an aura.
