Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 43 Night Attack
The next day, the army set off to the north, passing through Qingyuan and Quzhou all the way, and did not slaughter the gentry in Jizhou.Even as long as those powerful landlords obediently prepare wine and meat meals, Luo Zheng will restrain his subordinates and never flatten their manors.

Five days later, Luo Zheng led his army to bypass Daluze and entered Changshan County.

Han Fu was so anxious that he led his army to rush, but the [-] troops were all infantry, and they were carrying food and supplies, how could they catch up with the lightly armed Xiliang cavalry.After receiving Luo Zheng's reply, he immediately sent a letter on a fast horse, ordering Tian Feng, Jushou and Zhang He who stayed in Yecheng to go to the Xiliang army quickly to discuss with Luo Zheng the conditions for the Xiliang army to withdraw from Jizhou.

Yecheng, the side hall of the governor's mansion.

Tian Feng frowned, and paced back and forth in the hall irritably.

In the sound of hurried footsteps, the chief executive Jushou walked in quickly, cupped his hands to Tian Feng and said, "I don't know if Brother Yuan Hao called you late at night, what's the important thing to discuss, but what's wrong with Mr. Inspector?"

Tian Feng sighed, handed a scroll to Jushou, and said with a sad face: "You can see it at a glance."

Ju Shou took the scroll, read it at a glance, and his face suddenly became very exciting.

Tian Feng sighed and said: "Master Inspector was afraid that the Xiliang rebels would wantonly kill the gentry of Jizhou, so he condemned people to tell them, and would like to open the door for the Xiliang rebels to go north from Jizhou. Unexpectedly, Luo Zheng took the opportunity to threaten, Why!"

Ju Shou frowned and said: "Little Luo Zheng wants me to go to discuss, I don't know what idea to come up with."

Tian Feng smiled and said: "This thief is very cunning, tell me to go, forgive me for nothing good."

Ju Shou said: "Since it was ordered by the governor, shall I wait or not?"

Tian Feng said with a headache: "This is the problem. If General Zhang He is still here, for the sake of the safety of the Jizhou gentry, even if we know that the Xiliang Army has bad intentions, we should sacrifice our lives and go to negotiate with him. However, General Zhang He has gone now. After arriving in Luancheng, the Xiliang rebels will arrive soon, even if they leave now, it may be too late."

Ju Shou said: "Then wait and see what happens. As long as General Zhang He can defeat this Xiliang rebel army, all problems will be solved. Even if Lord Inspector comes back, I will just report my love."

Tian Feng sighed: "That's all there is to it, I only hope that General Zhang Yun can make great achievements in Luancheng."

Ju Shou said: "Don't worry, General Zhang He leads his troops well and handles things carefully, so I forgive you for not making any mistakes."

Changshan County, Luan County.

Xiliang's iron cavalry rushed to kill, and the people and animals within a radius of tens of miles of Luancheng disappeared.

The common people hid in their homes one after another, hiding in the cellar, secretly praying that they would not be discovered by the Xiliang army.

Seeing that it was getting late, seven thousand Xiliang cavalry immediately surrounded Luancheng.If you can enter Luancheng, you can rest overnight in Luancheng before continuing north.If you can't enter Luancheng, you will find another place.

The four gates of Luancheng were closed tightly, and there were soldiers looking around from the top of the city, their faces full of fear.

Luo Zhengce immediately stepped forward and shouted sharply: "Where is the Luancheng Order?"

After waiting for a long time, the soldiers poked their heads out, looked down, and replied tremblingly: "Return to the general, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant have left the city with their families for their lives."

"The magistrate ran away?"

The corner of Luo Zheng's mouth burst into a sneer, and he sternly shouted: "Quickly open the city gate, or break the city, and no one will stay."

"Break the city, and no chicken or dog will be left behind."

The seven thousand Xiliang iron cavalry roared in unison, the sound was like thunder, and the soldiers on the city shook with green faces and white lips, and their legs were fighting.

"What to do, my lord?"

A soldier asked the Dubo who guarded the city gate tremblingly, "Do you want to open the city and surrender?"

"This……"

Du Bo was in some trouble and didn't know what to do.

Both the county magistrate and the county lieutenant have fled, and most of the soldiers in the city have also fled.

Right now, there are only two hundred soldiers left in the city, and it is certain that they will not be able to defend it.

The only concern is whether the Xiliang army will start killing after entering the city. After all, the Xiliang army's reputation is not very good.

"Open the city, no chicken or dog will be left behind."

At this moment, the Xiliang army roared again in unison, shaking the city wall as if shaking.

"Kaicheng, quickly open the city gate."

Du Bo's legs gave way, and he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.

Only then did the soldiers on the top of the city hold their breath, and hurried down to open the city gate.

Fortunately, there is no need to fight desperately with the Xiliang army.

Soon, the suspension bridge fell, and with the creaking sound, the south gate of Luan City was pushed open by dozens of soldiers.

"Enter the city!"

Luo Zheng waved his hand, and thousands of Xiliang cavalry immediately rolled forward and rushed into the city.

Fortunately, after entering the city, the Xiliang army did not kill any more. The soldiers and common people in the upper city breathed a sigh of relief, and some powerful and wealthy households quickly sent wine, meat and meals, hoping to save their lives and families.

At night, the lights dimmed.

The soldiers rested early after eating and drinking.

In a wing room in the backyard of the county government office.

The soft couch made a creaking sound, as if it was a bit overwhelmed.

By the time the house quieted down, midnight had passed and the night was already deep.

At three o'clock in the ugly hour, when the night was darkest, there was a sudden shout of killing from the north gate of Luan City.

"what happened?"

Luo Zheng was awakened from his sleep and shook his dizzy head vigorously.

"General!"

Gan Qian opened her eyes, her bright eyes were like two shining black gemstones in the dark night, she looked at Luo Zheng who was about to turn over and sit up with a little shyness, she uttered a soft cry, and sat up quickly.

"You sleep first!"

Luo Zheng grabbed her hair and hurriedly shouted to the door: "Come here."

A personal soldier broke into the door, stood behind the screen, and said loudly: "What orders does the general have?"

Although Gan Qian knew that the soldiers were blocked by the screen, she hurriedly got into the bed, her jade face was hot.

Luo Zheng shouted and asked: "What happened, where is the sound of killing?"

The soldier replied: "This, the villain also doesn't know!"

While asking, Luo Zheng quickly put on his robe and was ready to go out.

At this moment, a small school rushed in and said loudly: "General, there are Jizhou troops coming in at the south gate."

Luo Zheng was taken aback, and said sharply: "Han Fu's army has not arrived in Yecheng, where did the Jizhou army come from?"

The little school shouted: "The villain doesn't know, please make a decision early."

"What are you eating?"

Luo Zheng cursed angrily, and shouted: "Call the army, go to the south gate quickly."

"As ordered."

Xiao Xiao shouted for orders, and then rushed out like the wind.

When Luo Zheng put on his armor and held a knife, when he ran out of the house, he saw the flames of the south gate soaring into the sky, and the screams and screams shattered the night sky. It can be seen that the battle situation is tragic. This situation and this scene all show that the Jizhou army has already entered.

A soldier nearby had already brought the horse over and handed it the reins.

Xu Chu was even more fully armored, he led his horse and stood aside, as if he would never know how to get tired.

Luo Zheng turned on his horse, waved his hand, and said sharply: "Go!"

Amidst the rumbling of iron hooves, dozens of riders rushed out of the county government office in a whirlwind and headed straight for the south gate.

On the way, a small school led a team of Xiliang cavalry to chase after them, and galloped their horses to the south gate.

However, before reaching the south gate, a small school rushed over covered in blood, yelling sadly, "The general is not good, the Jizhou army has already killed them, there are too many soldiers in Jizhou, brothers can't stop it!"

Luo Zheng couldn't bear it any longer, and asked sharply, "This general has repeatedly told you that you must send more scouts to prevent being attacked by the Jizhou army at night. Han Fu's army has not yet arrived in Yecheng, where did the Jizhou army come from? How to open the city gate?"

The little school said sadly: "The general doesn't know that the Jizhou army has already planted an ambush in the city, hid in the houses near the north gate, killed them after dark, joined forces with the Jizhou army outside the city, and seized them. South gate."

Luo Zheng almost vomited blood out of breath, "This general has repeatedly told us that we must patrol everywhere to prevent thieves from hiding, why is there a Jizhou army hiding in the city, who is responsible for the inspection, this general must behead his dog's head. "

The little school looked panic-stricken and dared not answer.

Luo Zheng asked sharply again: "Where is the Jizhou army hiding outside the city, why didn't our army scout find it?"

The little school bit the bullet and replied: "This, the villain also doesn't know."

"I'm mad at me too!"

Luo Zheng shouted, "Go, go to the South Gate."

At this moment, there were shouts of killing from the north gate, west gate, and east gate at the same time.

Not far away, on the street ahead, the Jizhou Army had already killed them.

The Xiliang iron cavalry was blocked in the narrow alleyway, and they couldn't exert the powerful impact of the cavalry at all. Instead, they were defeated by the Jizhou army because they couldn't use their hands and feet, and because they were caught off guard.

"kill!"

Luo Zheng urged the horse to advance quickly, cutting down several Jizhou soldiers one after another.

However, on the streets in all directions, there are more and more Jizhou troops.

I couldn't see clearly in the dark, and no one knew how many Jizhou soldiers came in.

What's more, people set fires everywhere in the city, and there were thunderous shouts of killing from the east, north, and west gates. The Xiliang army was suddenly attacked. public.
