Chapter 207 Chapter 207: Rebellion in Xiaocheng (Forty-seven) [Please vote]
When the young man passed by, the atmosphere in the main tent was solemn.
When the step-brother saw that he was late and only wore arm guards, shoulder armor and skirt armor, he couldn't help but said in a strange manner: "You would not do anything even if I ask you to do it on weekdays, and you would also leave military affairs to others. You He is a general after all, so how can he set an example for his subordinates with such laziness?”
The young man’s upward arc disappeared.
Just as he was about to reply, the old general sitting at the top had already sternly scolded his eccentric biological son. He scolded the sworn brother until his face turned green and pale. He gritted his teeth and stood up in public. Only after apologizing to the young man did he reveal the matter.
On his face, the young man said he didn't mind, but in his heart he couldn't help laughing - laughing at the fact that this step-brother only cared about food and not fighting.
Knowing that you cannot take advantage, you are still provocative.
Why bother?
He took his seat.
Ask: "Father, who is coming to attack?"
When talking about business, the old general showed some worry, sighed and replied: "They are just a group of thieves, nothing to be afraid of."
The young man knew the subtext as soon as he heard it.
The thief is not big in scale, but he can alert himself. The thief who leads this group must be a brave warrior who is a bit troublesome. He clasped his fists and said, "Since they are just a group of thieves, let me leave it to my son to deal with it. Order more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and pick off his head to put his adoptive father's shock at ease."
Hearing these murderous words of the young man , the old general couldn't help but reveal a smile of relief. He stroked his beard with satisfaction and cursed with a smile: "What are you talking about? You have to pick off people's heads all the time. It's not enough to scare you, and you are not afraid of others saying anything about you."
The young man said confidently, "I said so." "It's normal" attitude: "When you go into battle and kill the enemy, it's all about life and death. If you don't want to pick off your head, why should you politely ask if you would give your son your head? If your son is willing to ask, he won't give it to you."
What he said amused the old general.
The old general laughed heartily, and other generals also laughed.
One person flattered him: "The young general is indeed very brave. As long as he takes action, the little thief can only be caught without any help."
The young man looked around, not knowing why.
So he followed suit with a silly smile to cater to everyone.
But he secretly rolled his eyes.
Another piece of news -
The leader who commands the little thieves is probably above everyone else, but below him, otherwise, the credit will not fall on him. As he was thinking this, he heard the old general say: "My son is willing to do it, but that kind of little thief doesn't need you to act."
The young man was slightly surprised.
Quietly asked: "Then the foster father called his son over..."
The old general glanced at the staff messenger.
The staff messenger came forward and said: "Major General, please be patient."
The young man felt a little uneasy in his heart.
At this time, the old general had already begun to order generals. The young man listened quietly, but found that the soldiers and horses dispatched by the old general were marching in three different directions, opposite to Xiaocheng. Even the sworn brother who specialized in "yin and yang strange energy" was assigned to lead a thousand troops to respond.
The more the young man watched, the more confused he became, unable to see clearly the situation of the battle.
Why divide the troops in so many ways?
Or—
A bold and absurd guess emerged in the young man's heart.
Are these divisions of troops to fight against different forces?
The young man twitched his lips inwardly.
If that's the case, it's really fast.
How many days have passed since the sudden change in the middle of the night that day?
After all the generals left, only the young man and a few close confidants of the old general were left, as well as the messenger of King Pig's staff.
The young man’s brows jumped wildly.
The old general said solemnly: "Gong Xiqiu, listen to the order!"
The young man stood up and at the same time transformed into a complete armor.
The clang of metal collision is crisp and powerful.
He said: "The last general is here!"
The old general said: "I order you to lead 12,000 people and capture Xiaocheng before the third watch today. The envoy will assist you. You.”
This order completely exceeded the young man’s expectations.
Xiaocheng's current defense allowed him to lead 12,000 people to attack. Is there still enough time to limit it to before the third watch? ? ?
Intuition tells the young man that there is no such good thing.
The old general knew his details very well.
This military order is too "easy".
The young man endured it, his Adam's apple rolled, and finally he swallowed back what he wanted to ask, and said firmly: "I will obey the order!"
The old general said again: "After the city is captured..."
He said and looked at the envoy of the staff.
Continued: "You just listen to the envoy's arrangements."
Young man Gong Xiqiu nodded to express his understanding, even though he had already begun to curse in his heart - to this staff envoy, Gong Xiqiu expressed This guy is really annoying. The latter is also targeting him intentionally or unintentionally. I don't know what kind of evil this guy is going to do this time.
Seeing this situation, the old general changed his previous seriousness and repeatedly warned: "A Nian, after the city is broken, you are not allowed to disobey the envoy."
The young man said: "Yes, my son knows."
The old general was very relieved.
"Okay, okay, father is here waiting for my son's triumphant return."
The young man's eyes lit up and he asked: "Can I have some wine?"
The old general's story Zuo Zhen said: "Alcohol is prohibited in the army, but if A Nian really wants to, my father can take you out for a drink."
For a time, the atmosphere between father and son was harmonious.
It doesn’t feel like being in a military camp at all, but more like being at home.
There was a sly smile on the lips of the staff envoy.
Although it disappeared in a flash, it was still captured by Gong Xiqiu, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. After receiving the military order from the main tent, preparations for the siege began. The staff messenger who was traveling with him suddenly asked him: "Why are the young generals not curious at all?"
Gong Xiqiu asked back: "What are you curious about?"
The envoy of the staff said: "Of course I am curious about the sudden attack on the city?"
Gongxi Qiu Su smiled and said: "Isn't the purpose of marching and fighting just to attack the city and plunder the land? Besieging the city instead of attacking like before is a waste of time and food. . The general only knows to obey the military orders, and he doesn't want to know or be curious about the rest. What does the envoy think? "
The envoy on the staff did not answer.
He changed the topic and asked a very strange question.
“The young general’s family name is ‘Gong’? This surname is rare.”
Gong Xiqiu didn't even bother to give charity with a look of disdain. How could he still serve as a confidant to King Pig at this level?
It really makes people laugh out loud.
He said coldly: "My surname is 'Gongxi'."
Not "Gong"!
Of course, if the staff member's surname is "Mother", he will not mind being teased with the surname "Gong". Gong Xiqiu stepped up his legs and took longer steps, eager to throw away the envoys. However, the staff envoy asked again: "My father's family name is 'Gongxi'? This surname is also rare."
Gong Xiqiu said: "Our family only takes our mother's surname."
The staff member seemed to suddenly remember something.
"This custom and this surname are from the 'Gongxi tribe' who lived in seclusion hundreds of years ago? I have heard about it occasionally, but I just heard that this tribe was not -" He didn't finish his sentence , a dagger with a faint purple light reflected from the tip was pressed against his throat. The aide envoy looked up at Gong Xiqiu, and sneered as he pushed the dagger's edge away.
"The young general is very concerned about this matter."
Gong Xiqiu shouted in a low voice: "Who are you?"
Staff Messenger: "Who can I be? I just happen to know some secrets. Is this poking the Major General's leg?"
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
Staff Messenger Seeing that he didn't speak, he opened his lips and smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth, and asked maliciously: " Does the young general know what to do after the city is broken?" Seeing Gong Xiqiu, he still didn't say anything. He smiled and said, "There won't be a single living dog left in Xiaocheng!"
Gong Xiqiu: "... "Does this sound familiar to you, Major General?"
Gong Xiqiu said lightly: "I don't think so."
The staff envoy asked: "What do you think of this move, Major General?"
Gong Xiqiu said: "We will obey orders."< br>
The implication is that he will do whatever is ordered.
Hearing this, the staff envoy said: "Haha, very good, very good..."
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
Lin Feng heard Gong Xiqiu kicking open the tent and cursing words such as "sick". Tu Rong, who was applying medicine to himself with a grin on his face, also looked at it. In the past, he secretly muttered to himself who he had been insulted by.
Gong Xiqiu said: "Speak loudly."
Tu Rong obeyed and said loudly: "Are you offended by others?"
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
Tu Rong is definitely one of the toughest young men he has ever seen. He can speak loudly and dare to say anything. Although he would do the same thing, he was a fake tiger, while Tu Rong was a real tiger. He snorted heavily and said: "No one!"
Tu Rong muttered: "It doesn't look like..."
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
Lin Feng and Tu Rong watched Gong Xiqiu take the weapon and hang it on his waist. He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Coupled with the constant sound of footsteps outside the tent and the sound of weapons clashing from time to time, they all smelled that a war was imminent. Dangerous atmosphere.
Lin Feng asked: "Is there going to be a war?"
"Do you still remember where your feet are?" Gong Xiqiu sneered, and ordered two trusted confidants to escort Lin Feng and Tu Rong away. Lin Feng and Tu Rong looked at each other, neither of them moved. Gong Xiqiu Asked, "Are you two relying on me?"
Lin Feng said: "No, I just don't understand..."
There was no sign before, but now suddenly such an arrangement, Mr. Lin Feng I feel like something is going to happen, something bad.
Gong Xiqiu said: "Either go or stay."
He dropped a dagger stained with poison.
Lin Feng asked no more questions.
The two and a half-year-old children put on the shabby clothes brought by Gong Xiqiu's henchmen, their clean cheeks were smeared with mud, and they set out on the road carrying a small bag of food and clothing. Tu Rong had a lot to bring. In addition to packing dry food, there are also boxes containing the ashes of loved ones.
Lin Feng did not dare to cry, but when he turned around, he saw from a distance a series of flags like dark clouds fluttering in the wind.
She opened her mouth, as if she had guessed something.
Tu Rong said: “Junior sister, don’t look.”
The two confidants had previously been favored by Gong Xiqiu, and they admired the Major General's invincible majesty on the battlefield, and fell in love with him with all their hearts. After receiving the escort mission personally entrusted by Gong Xiqiu, the two of them were extremely excited and clapped their chests and promised to complete it.
One of them asked: "Do you two young brothers have somewhere to go?"
For convenience, Lin Feng was also dressed up as a boy.
Lin Feng thought for a while and said: "Yes."
She didn't know where her husband was at this time, but she knew where to try her luck, but - friend or foe Unknown, she couldn't lead the two of them to the village for fear of bringing the war with them.
They decided to go halfway up the mountain and walk the rest of the way by themselves.
Thinking about going home soon, I felt a lot more at ease.
The man smiled and said: "That's good."
The Xiaocheng garrison couldn't laugh at all at this time.
The soldiers on the guard tower detected the approach of tens of thousands of rebels from a long way away, and immediately spread the news. The soldiers on the city gate couldn't see that far, and could only vaguely see the dust rising in the distance.
He raised his head and glanced at the sky: "Isn't it time yet?"
The rebels threw civilian corpses into the city regularly every day.
The people are panic-stricken. Hundreds of people have developed the same symptoms one after another in the past two days, and some have more acute symptoms. It only takes three days from the onset of symptoms to sudden death. In Xiaocheng, the people were panic-stricken. If the county government had not stepped in to rectify and appease the situation, the situation would have been even more serious.
Come again today.
The soldiers guarding the city thought they were coming to dump corpses again.
But when the rebels approached and saw that they were heavily armed, they knew something was wrong and immediately sounded the warning horn. But what they never expected was that the rebels' style today was very different from the past.
In the past, we were slow and procrastinating, but today it is like a sharp sword being drawn out of its sheath.
As soon as the formation stood still, a hail of arrows fell from the sky.
Some soldiers failed to react in time, fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow, and fell off the city wall.
After three breaths, the second wave of arrow rain is about to hit again.
The soldiers despaired.
“How dare you, thief!”
At this moment, I heard a loud shout! When it fell on the ears of the garrison soldiers, their depressed spirits suddenly lifted!
"Don't panic, gentlemen, fight with me to defend against the enemy!"
It turned out to be a brave warrior who temporarily took over the duties of Captain Yang and commanded the garrison. He was tall and burly, despite his strong strength. He is only a seventh-class official, but he has rich experience and is calm. He is best at defense and likes to use defense as offense. As soon as he came forward, the soldiers in the garrison had a backbone and their morale soared.
The morale condensed into a whirlpool and gathered together. Under this blessing, the aura of the brave warriors increased steadily. At the same time, the martial energy in the warrior's body was also divided into three or four hundred channels, which were absorbed into the soldiers' bodies respectively. These three to four hundred people had a unified momentum.
"This is Xiaocheng, no thieves are allowed!"
As the shout spread, the city wall under the feet suddenly rose more than ten feet in place - no, it was not that the city wall was raised, but the city wall was raised. Outside the city wall, another martial wall with a thickness of more than ten feet rose. The rain of arrows tinkled on the wall, causing dense ripples.
When this wave of arrows rained down, there were no cracks at all.
However, no one showed joy for this.
Everyone knows that this is just a wave of temptation from the enemy.
Look at the size of the enemy, it can range from ten thousand to ten thousand.
Although I have the convenience of a city, Xiaocheng has been destroyed several times before, so I can only use it with repairs. If I encounter a ruthless character again, I am afraid it will be completely scrapped. When the courageous warrior saw the rebels coming from the city, his face turned livid.
At this time, the rebels all stopped. The two rows of people separated neatly, and a young general came out clapped his horse.
He is Gong Xiqiu.
Gong Xiqiu doesn't talk nonsense at all.
"You surrender now, and you will save your life!"
His voice did not sound loud, but it could be clearly heard by the people on the city wall, and the garrison who defended the city became furious.
The brave warrior who led the troops was also angered.
As soon as you come up, ask people to surrender in Kaicheng to save your life.
This guy is really arrogant!
He said: "You kid with a yellow mouth, let's be arrogant!"
No need to talk more, just fight!
For a time, on the city wall and under the city wall, rhythmic and high-pitched war drums sounded, the sound was soaring to the sky, stirring the energy of heaven and earth into riot.
The news alarmed many people.
"Report - the enemy has led more than 10,000 troops to attack the city!"
The messenger sent the message to the governor's office in the city.
Wu Yuan’s expression suddenly changed.
Gu Chi looked in the direction of the city wall with an indifferent expression and stood up.
“Don’t panic, go and have a look.”
The ones who moved faster than Gu Chi were Shen Tang and his party.
