Chapter 1258 Fa Zheng's Doubts

In Dingyang City, the war in the East City is still going on. Today is the seventh day. During these seven days, the Tang Army seemed to be tirelessly launching attacks on the East City. It was the same every time. First, catapults and wells attacked the city, and then the infantry launched an attack on the city.

However, although the first attack was counterattacked by the coalition forces, the coalition forces also suffered considerable losses, especially now that there were several cracks in the east wall, and the losses of the soldiers were also considerable. At the end of the day, more than 5,000 soldiers were killed or wounded, but the losses of the Tang army seemed to be about the same as those of the defenders. The soldiers didn't understand what was going on, but the generals understood that because the Tang army was far more elite than the coalition forces, it had a considerable advantage in this regard.

However, these have nothing to do with the soldiers at Ximen, but they are all soldiers who were withdrawn from the attack in the first two days. They were all more or less injured, so they were simply transferred to the West City to defend the city. They say they are defending the city, but in fact they are just watching here, and there is no danger.

Yang Laoliu was one of them, and now only he and two other soldiers were left in their group.

It was already past noon, and the fighting on the east side of the city was about to start again. At this moment, Yang Laoliu suddenly saw several people in front of him running towards the city gate in a hurry. Just when he was about to go back to the city gate to rest, he suddenly smelled the smell of blood. He was startled and suddenly realized that this was coming from several people running wildly from the opposite side. He stopped suddenly. Look in the direction of the person coming.

Soon the three people ran to the suspension bridge outside the city gate. Since there was no fighting in the west, the suspension bridge and city gate at the west gate were not closed. There were still many people coming in and out of the city gate.

Yang Laoliu finally saw clearly that the three people running across the suspension bridge were indeed covered in blood. The leader was dressed like a young man, while the other two looked like servants. However, they all looked injured.

Several people ran to the city gate and were about to enter the city. Yang Laoliu suddenly stopped them and said, "Who are you? Why do you look like this? What are you doing in the city?"

The leader, the Young Master, had already exhausted all his energy from running. He only relied on the support of his two servants to prevent him from collapsing to the ground. However, he kept shouting: "I am the boss of Fujiabao, ten miles west of the city." Master, this morning, many Tang troops suddenly poured out from the valley behind my fort, and then they immediately launched an attack on my Wubao. If it doesn't work, I'm going to the county government office to ask the general to send troops to save me. Otherwise, hundreds of people in Fujiapu will be gone."

As he spoke, he forced himself to get up and ran towards the city again. Perhaps because he had already reached the city, the breath holding him up in his body had loosened. As soon as the words were spoken, his whole body seemed to wilt. .

Seeing this, the two servants quickly stepped forward to support him, one on the left and the other on the right, and then headed towards the county government office.

Yang Laoliu had no intention of looking at the situation of several people leaving. What he was concerned about now was that a large number of Tang troops suddenly appeared in the west of Dingyang. Doesn't that mean that Dingyang has been surrounded by Tang troops?

Thinking of this, he got excited all over, turned around and ran towards the top of the city tower, shouting as he ran: "Captain, it's not good, a large number of Tang troops appeared ten miles west of the city, and they are attacking Fujiabao there. "

The news that only a few people knew at first was suddenly heard by all the soldiers and people at the city gate. All of a sudden, the whole city gate was in chaos. People inside the city wanted to go out, people outside the city wanted to come in, and the soldiers Busy preparing to close the city gate,

As a result, the entire city gate became a mess.

The captain who came out of the city tower after hearing the news saw such a situation. He was so angry that he rushed to Yang Laoliu, slapped him twice hard, and said: "What are you yelling about? It has not been verified. If the enemy spies lied about military intelligence, , I will not punish you for the crime of rebelling against the army."

Yang Laoliu was so frightened that his face suddenly turned pale, and he said calmly: "That is indeed the eldest son from Fujiabao in the west of the city. I have met him once before, and they smell of blood. I can guarantee that he is not wrong."

"Then you can't yell here, you're looking for death, right?" the captain said angrily;

"I'm sorry, my subordinate was just impatient, so I couldn't hold it back." With that said, Yang Laoliu repeatedly begged Captain Zuoji for mercy.

"Forget it, hurry up and arrange to close the city gate. At this time, even if it is not true, it can only be taken seriously." The captain said helplessly;

Soon in the county government office in the city, the remaining kings and Fazheng all knew the news that the Tang army had appeared behind them. They immediately called the messenger in and inquired carefully, and finally confirmed that there were only less than a thousand soldiers. A small portion of the Tang Army appeared in the west, which made several people feel relieved.

The Survivor is King. When he heard that the Tang army, which numbered only about a thousand men, appeared in the west, he immediately ordered: "Come here, send a school of soldiers to Fujiabao immediately, surround and annihilate this Tang army there, and find the way for the Tang army to come out. Keep searching along to see if there are any follow-up troops from the Tang Army."

"Slow down!" Fazheng suddenly shouted before the messenger left;

"Um?"

"General, let Liu Bao send a thousand cavalry to go together!" ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

"Okay," Jiangshan replied immediately: "Send a message to General Liu Bao, and ask him to send a thousand cavalrymen with five thousand infantrymen to annihilate the thousand Tang troops."

After the messenger left, several people turned back to discuss the military situation, but Jiangshan found that Fa Zheng was still sitting there thinking hard about something, and there was no movement for a long time, so he sat there quietly watching, he knew that Fa Zheng must be thinking about something again.

The abnormality of the two of them soon alarmed the remaining king and Xiongba, and the two looked at Fa Zheng in surprise. After a long time, Fa Zheng shook his head and looked at the few people.

"What's wrong? Military Advisor, did you find anything unusual?" Jiang Shan asked hurriedly;

"I did find something wrong. That is, in the past few days, the underground tunnels in the city have not been able to find the location of the Tang army's tunnels. According to the time, their tunnels should have reached the city wall, but why have they not been found? I have been thinking about this problem these days. Now I think Tian Yu must have deliberately ordered the tunnels to stop digging, or to dig carefully, and then he was waiting for something. Is he waiting for news that the Tang army appeared in the west of the city?"

"But according to our previous observations, even if the Tang army has soldiers going around to the west of Dingyang, the number of troops should not be large, at most one or two thousand people, which is consistent with the intelligence we just received, but if there are only one or two thousand people, it can hardly have any impact on the west. What is Tian Yu waiting for?"
