Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 115
"Open the door!"

"Open the city gates!"

"Don't let me rebel in the city again."

The people huddled outside the city were excited, and all the grievances in the past few days boiled up, gradually showing signs of getting out of control.

Luo Zheng mixed in the crowd, trying his best to instigate the repressed dissatisfaction and resentment in the hearts of the people.

"Boss, what do we do now?"

On the top of the city, a soldier's expression changed, and he quickly asked the small school at the gate, "This is not the way to go. These are the people in the city. If they are not allowed to enter the city, these people will really make trouble!"

"Well, who dares to make trouble?"

The small school at the gate of the city gave the soldiers a hard look, and shouted: "The governor of the county once had a strict order that no one is allowed to enter or leave after the army has left. I want to see who has the guts to make trouble!"

The soldier choked for a while, retreated awkwardly, and dared not speak again.

"I can't live through this day, it's against him."

At this moment, some of the people in the city began to curse at the top of their voices.

"Ok?"

Chengmen Xiaoxiao's eyes were fixed, and murderous intent flickered in his eyes.

Right now, the people were more and more scolding, they couldn't help but raised their right arm violently, and shouted, "Archers are ready."

Two hundred archers immediately opened their bows and set up arrows, aiming at the hundreds of people in the lower city.

As soon as the Shangguan gave an order, he shot the arrow without hesitation.

"Ah, run!"

After all, the people in the city didn't have the guts to make trouble, they just cursed and vented their anger.

Seeing that the soldiers on the top of the city opened their bows and arrows, they immediately trembled in fright. Someone ran away with a loud cry. Panic quickly spread among the crowd. Even the man whose daughter was about to die of a high fever picked up her daughter. U-turn and run.

Luo Zheng almost vomited blood out of breath, and had no choice but to run back in the crowd.

It seems that instigating these common people to make troubles and find opportunities to sneak into the city is hopeless.

The common people are the most tolerant and the easiest to satisfy.As long as they are not pushed into a desperate situation, as long as they have a mouthful of food and a way to survive, they will accept the exploitation of the ruling class and will not stand up and rebel.

Hundreds of people fled hundreds of times away from the city gate, and then stopped one after another, lying on the ground and sighing.

Zhao Yun lowered his voice and said: "My lord, Gai Xun and Huangfu Jianshou's army can reach Yuzhong in seven days at most. Our army must attack Guzang within three days, so as to have enough time to turn around and deal with Gai. Xun and Huangfu have a long life."

Xu Chu said: "But right now we can't sneak into the city, how can we break the city!"

Luo Zheng said in a deep voice: "Since we can't get into the city, we can only attack by force. Although our army is all cavalry, and only brought the simplest siege ladder, there are only two thousand defenders in Guzang City, forgive me capture."

Zhao Yundao: "The defenders in the city haven't spotted our army, so they are unprepared, so we can make a surprise attack at night."

Luo Zheng made a 'hmm' sound and said: "At that time, two thousand soldiers and horses can be ordered to attack the three gates of the east, west and south, and the defenders in the city will be restrained to the three gates. At that time, if they attack the north gate again, they will surely break the city in one fell swoop. .”

Zhao Yun volunteered, "The last general is willing to be a pioneer."

Luo Zheng said happily: "Okay, then Zilong will lead an army of [-] to attack the North Gate."

"The last will obey."

Zhao Yun accepted the order loudly, with a gleam in his eyes.

After waiting for more than an hour, the sky quickly darkened.

People dare not leave the city too far, they always feel insecure.When it was dark night, one after another, they approached the city wall cautiously, formed a pile fifty steps away from the city, and lit a fire to keep warm.

Gu Zang North Gate, five miles away.

Under the night, a portal quietly appeared and was pushed to the maximum.

Even so, only five riders can be allowed to go out together.

As early as when he crossed Wuling, Luo Zheng stuffed [-] Qiang and Hu cavalry soldiers into the vegetable garden, and then took only Xu Chu, Zhao Yun and more than ten soldiers, riding three horses each, and raided hundreds of horses in one day. Li rushed to Guzang.

As for Sanqian Jiubu and Sanqian Yueshi Huqi, they were left in Yunwu.

I was locked up for a day and a night, and the people and the horses were crowded together, and there was almost no place to stay.

Not only did the soldiers almost get sick, but the horses were also restless.

Moreover, there was no night in the vegetable garden, and the soldiers and horses couldn't adapt to the darkness for a while after they came out.

Luo Zheng straddled the horse and stood beside him, his wolf-like eyes glowing with coldness.

Although the vegetable garden is a great weapon, it also has great limitations.If you want the soldiers and horses to rest well, you also need to bring the accompanying supplies and food and grass, and you can only hold [-] cavalry at most, which is the limit.

If there were more, the soldiers would have no place to lie down and rest, and were only suitable for short-distance raids.

After more than an hour, the [-] cavalry finally drove out of the vegetable garden, and the formation was completed.

It happened to be the night of the full fifteenth month, and the moonlight was as clear as water, and the potholes on the ground were barely visible.

With Luo Zheng's order, [-] cavalrymen immediately took advantage of the night and rushed to Gu Zang.

Naturally, such a big movement cannot be concealed from the defenders in the city.

Before the army reached the north gate, the city of Guzang was already in full swing. The soldiers on the top of the city rushed to tell each other. .

"Where is Liang Xing?"

Luo Zheng reined in the horse and shouted.

"The end is here!"

Liang Xing hurriedly stepped forward and stood by with his hands folded.

Luo Zheng shouted: "Speed ​​two thousand soldiers and horses to attack the East Gate, there must be no mistakes."

"The last will obey."

Liang Xing responded loudly, and immediately ordered two thousand soldiers and horses, and rushed to the east gate with the ladder on their shoulders.

"Where is Yang Qiu?"

"The end is here!"

"Speed ​​two thousand soldiers and horses to attack Ximen."

"The last will obey!"

"Where is Zhang Heng?"

"The end is here!"

"Attack the south gate with two thousand troops at a speed!"

"The last will obey!"

The soldiers and horses of the three routes left quickly, and went to the east, west and south gates by suicide.

As for the horses, they will be handed over to the rear army to take care of them.

Soon, the east, west, and south gates of Guzang burst into flames, and the sound of killing shocked the wild.

If it was attacked during the day, the defenders in the city would not panic.

However, no trace of the enemy army has been found before, and the sudden attack in the middle of the night, and it is unknown how many enemy troops have come, not to mention the ordinary soldiers who cannot calm down, even the generals who lead the troops are not at ease.

The morale of the army is unstable, how can the soldiers still have the heart to fight to the death.

The east, west, and south gates were already crumbling before the resting troops arrived.

The three generals Liang Xing, Yang Qiu, and Zhang Heng have not done anything since they were put under Luo Zheng's account.This time they bypassed Zhang Meng's army and ran long distances to raid Guzang. They finally had the opportunity to lead troops, and they were eager to make meritorious service.

Although there are only simple ladders, there are more than [-] guards in each of the east, west and south gates of Guzang. Moreover, they were suddenly attacked in the middle of the night and panicked. .

After receiving the news, the Guzang defenders were shocked.

Although he knew that there was no movement at the north gate, there must be fraud, but the east, west, and south guards were about to fall, so he had to send a thousand soldiers and horses hastily assembled to the east, west, and south gates in order to kill and retreat. out of the enemy.

At this moment, a shocking cry of killing suddenly sounded from the north gate.

Zhao Yun and Xu Chu each led [-] fierce soldiers to rob the pass and seize the city, and quickly killed the top of the city.

How could more than two hundred soldiers stop Xu Chu and Zhao Yun, two fierce men, they were quickly killed and routed.

Not long after, amidst a loud bang, the suspension bridge fell and hit the pier, and then the city gate opened.

"Kill in!"

Luo Zheng drew his sword and moved forward, and the six thousand Qiang Hu cavalry who had been waiting for a long time immediately rolled into the north gate.
