Prancing Horse Xiliang

132 Empty City
The sky is slowly dawning, and the city of Yunwu is silent.

A few hundred paces away, Ma Teng's army's scout Tan Ma was waiting and watching, but he didn't dare to get too close.

"what happened?"

A scout soldier scratched his head and murmured to himself in puzzlement, "How could there be no one on the top of the city? Could it be that the defenders in the city ran away overnight? Scary, it's really possible, it must be Report to the boss as soon as possible."

Before he finished talking to himself, he hurriedly beat his horse and ran back.

Soon, Ma Teng received news that there seemed to be changes in Yunwu City.

"What's going on, have you ever found out?"

Ma Teng asked puzzledly, frowning.

The scout Xiaoxiao replied: "The last general went to the city to inquire personally, but he didn't see a single soldier on the city. However, the gate was closed, and the last general did not dare to act without authorization, so he came to report to the lord, and asked the lord to decide whether to raise troops. Siege?"

Ma Teng frowned and said: "What the hell is Luo Zheng doing?"

All the generals under the tent looked at me, and no one knew what was going on.

Pang De thought for a while, and said: "It's better to send two thousand infantry to attack the city, and find out the truth!"

Ma Teng said decisively: "Okay, just follow the order, and you should obey the order."

"The end is here!"

A majestic Qiang man rushed out and stood under the tent, waiting for orders.

Ma Teng said in a deep voice: "Lead two thousand infantry and attack the east gate of Yunwu."

"The last will obey."

Qiang Han received his orders loudly, and then rushed out quickly.

Not long after, a group of 2000 infantry rolled out of the camp and rushed to the east gate of Yunwu.

When there were more than a hundred steps away from the east gate of Yunwu, the Qiang general did not dare to be careless, and ordered two thousand infantry to form a neat army formation on the spot, and put the sword and shield soldiers at the front to protect the formation. Slowly advance down the city.

There was silence on the top of the city, not to mention people, not even a ghost could be seen.

After entering fifty steps, there was still no movement at the top of Yunwu City.

Beware of doubts, but more and more dare not be careless, nerves collapsed tightly, and led two thousand pawns to advance steadily.

Until within ten steps, under the moat, there was still no movement on the top of the city.

"what happened?"

Dang wondered: "Could it be that Luo Zheng's army ran away overnight?"

A small school asked: "General, what should we do? Do we want to attack the city?"

Jin Dang scolded: "Nonsense, I just came to attack the city, what else can I do if I don't attack the city?"

"Uh!"

Xiao Xiao Qiang choked, not knowing how to speak.

Jin Dang's face became grim, and he shouted: "Listen to me, whoever is the first to kill the leader of the city, I will give him a credit. If you can break through the city gate in one fell swoop, and when Yunwu is defeated, I will personally go to the lord to say hello. Brothers please credit."

"Ouch!"

The two thousand infantry screamed excitedly, full of fighting spirit.

"Give it to me!"

With a loud shout, two thousand pawns rushed up immediately, put the siege ladder on the top of the city, held a shield in one hand, and a saber in the other, and quickly climbed along the ladder to the top of the city. Leaped onto the city wall one after another.

"General, no one!"

The Qiang soldiers who were the first to climb to the top of the wall turned their heads and shouted, with a confused look on their faces.

Some Qiang soldiers shouted: "Don't talk about people, there is not even a ghost."

"What the hell is Luo Zheng doing?"

Xun Dang was in shock, unable to figure out what was going on.However, no matter what Luo Zheng Xiaoer is doing, right now is a good opportunity to make meritorious service.It is a great achievement to break through Yunwu.Jin Dang didn't think much about it, but when he thought of the achievements in front of him, he became excited and shouted: "No one is the best, open the city gate for me, and welcome the army to enter the city."

"As ordered."

A small school who climbed up to the top of the wall roared, and immediately rushed down the top of the wall with dozens of soldiers.

Several other soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city tower, and cut off the cables holding the suspension bridge with all their knives.

Di Dang said loudly again: "Quickly report to the lord, just say that there is no one in Yunwu City, and Luo Zheng's army is missing."

"As ordered."

Some of the guards had already agreed, and quickly rode away.

Amidst the loud noise, the suspension bridge fell down and rested on the pier.

Immediately, amidst creaking and rubbing sounds, the heavy city gate was pushed open by dozens of soldiers.

With a loud roar, Jin Dang rushed in with two thousand infantry.

Two thousand infantry ping ponged all the way, quickly took control of the north gate, and overturned all the nearby places where people could hide. It was like a group of cattle rushing into the wheat field and destroying wantonly. The houses near the east gate were quickly destroyed. It's out of shape.

Fearing fraud, he dared not divide his troops. He just guarded the east gate and waited for Ma Teng's army to arrive.

Not long after, Ma Teng led five thousand cavalry to arrive first.

Jin Dang went out of the city, knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly: "My lord!"

Ma Teng reined in his horse and asked in a concentrated voice, "What's going on?"

Jin Dang said loudly: "The final general doesn't know where Luo Zheng's army has gone. When the final general led the army to arrive, there was not a single soldier in the city. The final general was afraid of being cheated, so he didn't dare divide his troops to attack the other three gates. So wait for the Lord's army to come."

Ma Teng made a 'hmm' sound, nodded and said: "Your approach is right, Luo Zheng is full of tricks, this matter is very strange, and it is true that you can't be careless, so as not to be caught by Luo Zheng's tricks."

Only then did Kun Dang get up and step aside, respectfully inviting Ma Teng to enter the city.

Five thousand cavalry rushed into Yunwu immediately, and divided into three teams to attack the remaining three gates.

Ma Teng stayed at the east gate, waiting for the news while waiting for the rest of the army to arrive.

Soon, another [-] cavalrymen arrived, and news came from the south, north, and west gates. There was no soldier in the city, and the three gates had been successfully controlled. It was unbelievably easy, as if Luo Zheng had already Give up Yunwu.

So smooth to occupy Yunwu, but Ma Teng was not happy.

Luo Zheng is full of tricks, and he doesn't look like a master who is willing to bow his head and admit defeat.

Now it disappeared without a trace overnight. If there is no ghost in it, even if Ma Teng was killed, he would not believe it.That being the case, there must be some conspiracy.The enemy in the open is not scary, the enemy who is most afraid is the enemy hiding in the dark.

Ma Teng had to be on his guard. The examples of Han Sui and Zhang Meng were placed there, so there was no room for him to be careless.

Otherwise, if there is a slight omission, and if you fall into Luo Zheng's tricks, you will be in danger of being defeated.

But Ren Ma Teng wanted to break his head, and he couldn't figure out what tricks Luo Zheng had.

As for the generals under the account, except for Pound who occasionally uses his brain to analyze some military affairs, the rest of the commanding generals are almost all rough men who don't like to use their brains. It is unnecessary to expect them to see through Luo Zheng's tricks.

After waiting for an hour, Pound finally arrived with the follow-up army.

Ma Teng didn't dare to be careless, he withdrew all [-] cavalry and stationed outside the city, and only ordered the infantry to take over the city. At the same time, he launched a carpet search for Yunwu, hoping to find out the movement of Luo Zheng's army through clues.
