Chapter 92: Breaking the City, Breaking the Camp
Cao Tiancheng hurried back to Fufeng City, and the information he brought surprised both Wu Kai and Lu Hong, because just one day ago, when Gao Yuan came back, he mentioned that the Donghu Hutu tribe might plan to attack Fufeng in the near future. A looting, unexpectedly, before the words fell, the speculation became reality.
Although the authenticity of the information has not been confirmed yet, Lu Hong and Wu Kai have great confidence in Gao Yuan now. Even if Wu Kaidang ordered the residents of the villages and towns outside Fufeng County to evacuate immediately, there is really no place to hide if they can hide Lu Hong naturally had nothing to say, only Duyou Huo Zhu held an opposed attitude, thinking that if you can't listen to the wind, it is rain, and it is not worthwhile to disturb the whole county with unconfirmed information. , if they were all evacuated and the Donghu people didn't come, wouldn't it be a joke if they were wasting people and money?
Looking at Huo Zhu, Lu Hong said coldly: "Master Huo, that's not what you said. Even if the Donghu people didn't come, we would just spend some money and work on our bodies. But what if they come and we don't do well?" Prepare, it will cost blood. County Magistrate Wu doesn't want the tragedy of last year to happen again. Mr. Huo, you are relieved. When the time comes, you will be sued again. It will be me and County Magistrate Wu who will suffer. "
Huo Zhu's unethical behavior last year was satirized in the words, which made Huo Zhu's face turn green and pale, and he walked away in a rage. Now in Fufeng, Wu Kai and Lu Hong hugged each other, Huo Zhu Zhu has been completely marginalized, and now that they have Zhang Shouyue as their backing, they don't take Huo Zhu seriously at all, let alone Linghu Dan, Huo Zhu's backstage assassin in Liaoxi City. It's Linghudan's backstage prime minister, and Zhang Shouyue, as the warlord who actually cuts off the drama, can also stand against the court.
Huo Zhu walked out of the county with a sneer on his face. He objected to the evacuation, not because of obvious reasons, but because he was worried that a large number of young people from outside the city would pour into the county, which would greatly strengthen the resistance of Fufeng City. Create obstacles to the Hutu tribe's offensive behavior. Master Linghudan of Liaoxi City has already said, either do not do it, or do it thoroughly. They were all dead, so what if Zhang Shouyue turned his back on them, what's more, at that time, Zhang Shouyue would turn around and beg them.
Come on, come on, a group of mud legs, no matter how many there are, what's the use, is it possible that they can stop La Trobe's iron cavalry scimitar? As long as he opens the city gate at that time, Wu Kai and Lu Hong will be the ones The fish on the board was allowed to be slaughtered by himself. This time, in order to ensure the success of the matter, Lord Linghu specially sent ten elite fighters from Liaoxi City. This group of trash under Lu Hong's men could not compare.
The whole Fufeng County was in motion, relying on the people from other counties to drag their children and children to seek refuge with their relatives and friends in Lin County or flock there to seek refuge, and those who were close to Fufeng County flooded into the county town. Donghu people have never attacked The behavior of the county seat, as long as it enters the city, it is considered safe.
Now that Wu Kai is rich, the people who come to the city to take refuge are not like in previous years, even stuttering food is extremely difficult to get. In today's Fufeng City, there are more than a dozen disaster relief sheds that cook porridge every day to supply people who come to take refuge Victims. This actually earned Wu Kai a great reputation. There were praises everywhere in the city, and Wu Kai was so happy from ear to ear.
In the past, he saved money with all his might, but with Gao Yuan, money is no longer a problem. Now that he has a lot of money, he pays great attention to his reputation. As a local, he was praised by the local people as a Buddha of ten thousand families, This made him happier than anything else.
The people who came to the city had enough to eat, so there would be no chaos. Lu Hong easily recruited another group of young and strong people from among them. A strong army of 2,000 people, these people can't let them go out of the city to fight, but they can still defend the city, plus Zheng Xiaoyang and Naha's two regular troops who have made great progress, Lu Hong is not worried at all. The Hutu troops with more than 400 riders had the guts to attack the city.
Now his mind is full of lofty attack plans, at this time, he should have already started to act, right?
The smoke in Juliguan burned for a whole day. At dusk, thick smoke rose again from the villages closer to Fufeng City. Donghu people came! Alarm bells rang out in Fufeng City, and the young men rushed to the city with knives and guns. After reaching the top of the city, Lu Hong divided Zheng Xiaoyang and Naha's two centurions into four groups, and placed fifty people at each city gate. These people led hundreds of young and strong to guard the four city gates. No one could go outside the city. Yes, as long as you defend Fufeng City, that's enough.
The troops in Fufeng City were furious, but the more than 400 cavalry led by Latobe seemed to have no intention of attacking the county seat. The Hutu cavalry were divided into four groups and looted in various villages outside the city. A lot of property was not taken away, but these are urgently needed for the impoverished Hutu tribe. Whether it is quilts, iron pans, or food, they will be moved to the cart when they see it, and then one by one. Drag the cart to the location agreed in advance, unload the goods, and then drive the cart to follow the cavalry for the second round of looting.
Baiyang Village, shrouded in darkness, is only five or six miles away from Fufeng City. If a horse gallops fast, it will only take half a stick of incense. Taking advantage of the darkness, the cavalry is gathering here in groups. The looting during the day is just a cover, an excuse to make Fufeng City feel at ease. The real attack will be launched tonight. Stay away, I believe that the spies arranged in Fufeng City have already reported the news to the city. This can be proved by some inexplicable fires burning along the way. This is obviously a pre-determined contact method in the city. The heart has been greatly reduced, now, it depends on Huo Zhu.
"Nafu, are you all ready?" La Trobe asked in a deep voice.
"Patriarch, everything is ready. The people are covered with wood, the horses are bitten, and the hooves are wrapped with cotton cloth. As soon as the patriarch gives an order, they can go straight to Fufeng City." Nafu said excitedly. He had long thought about the colorful world in the city Went for a walk.
"Now it's midnight, it's almost time, let's go! If everything goes well with Huo Zhu, then when we arrive, the west city gate should be unimpeded. If we arrive and Huo Zhu fails to do all this, then , we withdrew our troops, no wonder we repented of our agreement, we would not be able to forcefully attack Fufeng." La Trobe shook his fist vigorously.
"Yes!" Nafu nodded heavily, turned around and strode out. In Baiyang Village, more than 400 cavalry were leading their horses. village.
At Zishi, at the west gate of Fufeng City, Chen Zhe, the capital under Naba's command, was leaning against the city wall wearily. Countless times, I feel a little numb. To defend Fufeng City is to complete the task. This is a very easy job, because the enemy's cavalry cannot attack the city directly. With the protection of the city wall, the powerful Donghu cavalry can easily It's not so scary anymore. Except for a few sentries on duty, the rest of the soldiers are lying or leaning against the city wall, falling asleep, and the young and strong are even more unbearable, lying all over the ground. , Chen Zhe decided to go back and take a good rest after making another round of inspections. He was really tired these two days.
Holding the lantern, he walked slowly around the city wall. Seeing that the sentries were still alert, he walked down the city wall with satisfaction, and prepared to sleep for a while in the cave of the city gate below the city. Just as he walked down the city wall, he Seeing a group of people approaching in a neat line, Chen Zhe was startled, and strode forward to meet him. To his surprise, the leader of the team was Huo Zhu, the postmaster of Fufeng.
"Lord Huo, it's so late, why are you still here?" Chen Zhe respectfully saluted Huo Zhu and asked.
"The Donghu people are just outside the city. How can I sleep? No, I'll take my servants out to make an inspection and see if you are lazy. If you are, I will definitely kill you." Huo Zhu's voice was not high, But very strict.
Although Huo Zhu is not his boss, but other people's official ranks are placed there, and he is all the same, and there are still many ranks. Chen Zhe doesn't think so in his heart, but he still respectfully said: "Where does the villain dare to be lazy? No, just checked again!"
"Very well, how about this, anyway, I'm here, you take me to have a look again!" Huo Zhu walked straight to the inclined ladder to the city with his hands behind his back. Chen Zhe had no choice but to follow up. The two left After reaching the top of the city wall and starting to climb the city, when we reached the first corner, it happened to be a dead corner. In this position, the sentinels on the city could not see Chen Zhe.
An inconspicuous servant of the Huo family who was following Chen Zhe suddenly took a step forward, flipped his wrist, and a sharp blade was inserted into Chen Zhe's waist without a sound, and Chen Zhe, who was in severe pain in his waist, Zhe's body softened, and he opened his mouth to breathe out, but his mouth was covered immediately, his neck was tightly strangled, and he was pressed tightly against the city wall. He turned his head with great effort, the remaining consciousness During the process, he was horrified to see several servants of Huo's family who had followed Huo Zhu enter the hole of the city gate. Together, the two of them raised the thick gate bar, and Fufeng's west gate was silently pulled away. open.
Huo Zhu is a spy, this is Chen Zhe's last consciousness, and then he fell into the boundless darkness.
Just when Huo Zhu opened the west gate of Fufeng, fifty miles away from Juliguan, Gaoyuan's attack on the old Hutu camp also officially started. Each of the 150 soldiers was covered with withered grass and branches, quietly When they got close to the old Hutu camp, these soldiers suddenly threw off their camouflage, pulled out the big knives on their backs, let out an earth-shattering cry, and broke into the camp.
The soldiers of the Hutu tribe followed Latobe to attack Fufeng City, leaving Gaoyuan only a house with only family members, women and children and a small number of guards. When these guards saw the Fufeng soldiers who had broken into the camp, their faces were full Apart from shock, there was no other expression.
