Chapter 173 Let Go of Your Guard
"Zhao Yun is indeed very strong, but the seven ins and seven outs were written by Luo Guanzhong. If you don't believe it, just arrest him someday and ask him." Mu Guiying said.
In this world, almost all the celebrities from the Five Dynasties period were included, not only Luo Guanzhong, but also Shi Naian, Wu Chengen, and Cao Xueqin.
They were arguing, but Night Breeze was silent on the sidelines, staring at the battle group intently.
Everyone on the city wall opened their mouths wide in a daze, while the Ming army looked ready to go.
Seeing this, Night Breeze believed that Xu Da's purpose should not be as simple as hitting the opponent's morale. Even if it was such a plan before, it's time to change his mind now.
Just when he was thinking this way, Xu Da withdrew his hand suddenly, and slapped the horse's buttocks with the barrel of the gun. The horse suffered from pain, threw off its four hooves and rushed towards the city gate.
And the 200,000 Ming army behind them also moved.
There was a sound of horseshoes, and the people on the city wall also responded.
"Shoot the arrows! Close the city gate!" the guard shouted hastily.
But it was too late.
They were stunned for only a dozen seconds just now, and this amount of time was enough to cause a checkpoint to fall.
After the general gave the order, the soldiers reacted immediately, and the bow and arrow above shot down first, and the dense rain of arrows fell on Xu Da.
Xu Da raised his black gun high, and danced the gun into a disc. The arrows landed on it, and all of them were bounced away.
The soldiers at the gate of the city were about to close the gate immediately, but when there was still a gap in the gate, a black gun came in.
There are more than 20 people in the city who want to wrestle with Xu Da, but the combined strength of these people cannot be Xu Da's opponent.
Puff, the black gun pierced through, and a person was stabbed at the crack of the door, hanging on the end of the gun.
Boom!
Xu Da followed with a heavy kick, and the door on the right opened in response, and the people behind the door were blown away.
"Kill him quickly and take back control of the gate!"
When the guard gave an order, people approaching the city gate immediately rushed towards Xu Da like a tide.
Xu Da was not afraid at all, with a gun in his hand, he danced up and down, the blood sprayed down, and as many people came up, he would lie down.
But looking at Xu Da himself? Nothing happened at all.
His gun, too fast!
It was almost a circle of soldiers before they were ready to attack, and the point of his gun had already scratched their necks.
The so-called one man guards the gate, and ten thousand men can't open it. Now Xu Da's performance is like this. One man controls the city gate, and no one can move him a bit.
Of course, after a long time, he still has moments when his strength is exhausted and he can't hold on, but he is not fighting alone.
With his insistence, the cavalry behind arrived at the scene first, and rushed in towards the city.
There were more than 30,000 cavalry, which was a huge base. The city defenders had a total of only 50,000 people. Under the leadership of Xu Da, the pure cavalry team rushed to the top of the city, unstoppable all the way, followed by the infantry.
200,000 vs. 50,000, face to face, the strength of the soldiers is equal, the victory and defeat have been decided.
Xu Da deeply carried out the tenet of capturing the thief first, and personally led the team to kill the general, turned his head and left to urge the soldiers of the Song army to surrender, and easily won this pass.
Night Breeze roughly calculated that it would take less than half an hour to win this border crossing.
And when it comes to losses, it should be less than a thousand. For the 200,000 army, this is really not a loss.
After winning the checkpoint, Xu Da immediately ordered the army to start laying out defenses, and ordered the 50,000 army to put on the armor of the Song army and walk up the inner city wall.
Looking at this appearance, they are preparing to welcome the arrival of Yue Fei's army, and see if they can lay an ambush on him.
"This is a border gate, how can it be broken so quickly?" Mu Guiying was taken aback.
"Don't be too surprised, but our Majesty has a faster and simpler way." Shangguan Yan said.
Mu Guiying expressed her disbelief and looked at Night Breeze.
Night Breeze didn't explain much, because it wasn't necessary, and it would be more convincing to show Mu Guiying the actual situation. He just said simply: "She didn't lie."
Time passed, three hours passed, and Yue Fei's army came!
Yue Fei came, but he was one step behind Xu Da.
In addition, Xu Da broke through too quickly, the news was quickly blocked, and did not reach Yue Fei.
That is to say, Yue Fei still doesn't know the news that Lingfeng Pass was captured.
But Yue Fei is not an ordinary person, and he did not enter the city in a hurry. He signaled to his subordinates, and the subordinates who understood his thoughts immediately shouted at the city gate: "Marshal Yue is here! General Zhuo Yan, the guard of Lingfeng Gate where?"
On the tower, Xu Da, who was dressed as a soldier, heard this man's words, and his mind turned.
He has also seen Yue Fei's sophistication, if it is an ordinary person, seeing his own people at the city gate, he should go directly to the city at this time, but Yue Fei didn't.
At this time, Xu Da looked behind him, the lieutenant who was tied like a rice dumpling.
The chief general had already been killed, and if Yue Fei wanted to see the chief general, he had no choice but to take the deputy general as his head.
Thinking of this, Xu Da stepped forward and said: "Go and talk to Yue Fei. If you can bring him in, I will introduce you to the King of Ming Dynasty. Then the prosperity and wealth will be endless! Otherwise, your family will have dozens of people. Everyone must die!"
When the deputy general heard this, he couldn't help trembling.
Not because of fear, of course, but because of the excitement of escaping death.
Originally, he thought that he was going to die, but he didn't expect that there was still a glimmer of life.
"Uh-huh!"
The lieutenant, whose mouth was tied, nodded sharply.
Seeing the reaction of the lieutenant general, Xu Da said to the soldiers beside him: "Untie him!"
The untied lieutenant adjusted his makeup, waited for a while before walking to the city wall, looked at Yue Fei, and said: "Marshal Yue, the Lord General has urgent military affairs, so he specially ordered the villain to come to greet him first, and his group I'll be there."
Yue Fei also knew this lieutenant general. After all, it was not that Ming and Song had never fought before. He had met him many times.
Seeing him, Yue Fei let go of his guard a little, "Then General Lao Wei will open the city gate for me."
"Quickly, open the city gate and let Marshal Yue in." The deputy general shouted.
It was a trap in itself, and the soldiers of Daming also cooperated with the lieutenant general's order and went to open the city gate immediately.
And the lieutenant himself immediately went down to meet Yue Fei.
When he got close, the man quickly knelt down and said, "The last general pays his respects to Marshal Yue!"
"General Wei, you're welcome." Yue Fei called him up first, and under the leadership of the deputy general, he followed the process and asked as he walked, "Is there any latest news about the Ming army?
"Ming army?" the lieutenant thought, isn't the Ming army in the city? But this cannot be said, Xu Da still holds his family in his hand.
"Back to Marshal, Xu Da's army will arrive in half an hour, and the chief general is deploying it to deal with the Ming army, so he can't escape for a while." The deputy general said without missing a word.
Yue Fei didn't hear anything wrong in his words, and walked into the city while communicating.
Yue Fei noticed the cloth strangle marks on the lieutenant general's mouth, even though they were so slight that they could not be seen with the naked eye of a normal person, he did notice them.
"Why do you have strangle marks on your face?" Yue Fei asked with a gloomy expression, his colleague already had an ominous premonition.
I don't know how to explain Vice General Wei. Did he get fined? But in the army, the punishment ranged from decapitation to military sticks and fines.
Take the punishment of military sticks as an example, in order to punish this person to frighten others, he should scream as hard as possible, it is impossible to tie an i to prevent people from screaming.
Seeing that he couldn't answer, Yue Fei looked worried, and the atmosphere in the city was also very strange. Based on years of experience, this is not a good thing.
"Withdraw!" Yue Fei ordered decisively, regardless of whether this feeling was right or not.
As soon as he said this, the lieutenant thought he was completely exposed, and hurried to leave.
Seeing this, Yue Fei was even more certain that he would shoot back.
Puff!
A silver spear pierced the lieutenant general's back, piercing him in half.
"Close the city gate!"
Knowing that Xu Da was exposed, he didn't pretend anymore. He originally planned to annihilate the Ming army when 100,000 people came in. Although there are only more than 10,000 people coming in now, there is the coach Yue Fei.
If Yue Fei could be killed, the 190,000 army outside the gate would be a mob in Xu Da's eyes.
"Xu Da!" Yue Fei heard the sound and looked over, and immediately recognized the person who heard the sound.
"Hehe, Marshal Yue, long time no see." Xu Da smiled lightly.
"Good method!" Seeing Xu Da and the closed city gate, Yue Fei already knew that it was impossible for these ten thousand people to escape.
"Your reaction is not slow." Xu Da replied.
"But it's a loss after all." Yue Fei said.
"If you change someone, you will lose more than half, or even wipe out the whole army." Xu Da replied.
"Now what I should think about is whether I can go out?" Yue Fei quickly calmed down after suffering such a big loss.
