Chapter 96: Lure the Enemy(1/2)
Chapter 96 Lure the Enemy
It was night, the wind was strong and the night was dark.
The clouds covered the moonlight behind them, and there was no fire or light in the flat wilderness. From a distance, only a group of people and horses quietly approached.
The team of men and horses came slowly forward as if they were carrying very heavy things, and the person at the head was sitting on a tall horse, wearing a silver mask on his head.
When the scout saw it, he immediately turned around and ran away quickly.
"Here we come, the Suzheng Army is here!"
The scout rushed to a forest and reported the news.
Zhu Hanchun was waiting anxiously. When he heard this, he quickly took a telescope and looked towards the flat wilderness in the distance.
He was far away, and even on the mound, he could only faintly see his figure.
He asked for details.
The scout replied, "The carriage was escorting a box. It looked like the box was extremely heavy. They were moving slowly. The person at the head was wearing a silver mask."
Silver face!
"See clearly?"
The scout Liandao saw clearly.
Zhu Hanchun was determined.
The handover of arms is a major event. Previously, when the Nancheng Army and the Suzheng Army handed over arms, both sides sent generals. The Nancheng Army went to Jiang Shan's eldest son, and the Suzheng Army also sent the silver-faced general.
This time, Zhu Siwei also proposed to escort the two armies with generals. Before the two armies completely broke up, Su Zhengjun agreed and asked Yin Mian to come in person.
On the Guangzhou Army side, of course it was Zhu Hanchun.
But Zhu Hanchun came, but he didn't really arrive.
He had long expected that what was kept in the box should be the military supplies distributed by the Su Zheng Army to the Guang Liang Army according to the agreement. But when the two parties were in such a quarrel, how could there be any sincerity?
What was inside must have been just large, heavy-looking rocks.
Whatever it is, it won't be arms.
He didn't believe that Su Zhengjun had such good intentions.
So, he followed the plan he had discussed with his father, Zhu Hanchun, and without making any move, he called the scout, "Explore again and report again!"
The scout flew away.
Zhu Hanchun began to wait anxiously again.
The appearance of the Su Zheng Army is only the first step.
In this second step, it is time for the imperial army to take action!
In the eyes of the imperial court, the Su Zheng army that captured Xuzhou City was a huge slap in the face. How could the imperial court not seize the opportunity and kill the Su Zheng army?
So, a letter stating the place of this transaction was shot at the gatepost of the imperial court.
At this moment, what Zhu Hanchun continued to wait for was the sudden appearance of the imperial army.
But after waiting and waiting, there were still only people from the Suzheng Army in that wilderness, and the imperial army was completely missing.
The subordinate came and asked, "Could it be that the court didn't believe it was true, so it didn't send any troops at all?"
"How is this possible?" Zhu Hanchun didn't believe it. "The general Qian Feng was just scolded severely by the emperor in the palace. How dare he not take it seriously? The imperial army will definitely come. Wait a minute!"
But after waiting for another quarter of an hour, almost two quarters of an hour had passed before the Guangzhou Army and Suzheng Army were better off.
The imperial army did not arrive, but the Su Zheng army had the intention of leaving.
Zhu Hanchun was so anxious that he was sweating. He didn't believe that no one from the imperial army came. Could it be that the imperial army wanted to wait until the Guangzhou Liang Army came forward and then catch them all?
Of course Zhu Hanchun did not want to lose a single soldier. The troops and horses he brought this time had a more important role.
However, no one came from the court, and Su Zheng's army was about to leave. A scout came to report that the silver-faced general had mounted his horse.
In this situation, Zhu Hanchun became worried and was about to send some of his troops to lure the enemy, but he got a quick report.
"The imperial army and the Suzheng army are fighting!"
"That's great!" Zhu Hanchun couldn't help but congratulated, his small eyes shining brightly.
Then, he asked someone to lead the horse, and stepped on the back of the people below to get on the horse.
"Go to Xuzhou City."
*
In Xuzhou City, the soldiers guarding the gate saw a pair of men and horses wearing solemn military clothes and holding solemn military flags running towards them from a distance.
Those people were galloping very fast. Just as the soldier guarding the gate was about to tell them to stop quickly, he saw those people rushing in front of them.
"Hurry! Let people go to support! The Guangzhou Army did not come, but the imperial army came. We were attacked by the imperial soldiers and horses. The general and his troops were trapped inside. Go to support!"
The solemn military clothes and flags worn by these soldiers all looked like they had been severely injured. The soldiers and horses were also covered in blood. Some even couldn't sit still on their horses and might fall off at any time.
The soldier in charge couldn't help but say.
"Hurry up and support us. Let us go into the city first. My brothers can't hold on any longer!"
This man urged repeatedly, and the gate of Xuzhou City, guarded by the Su Zheng Army, was finally opened.
The soldier at the head was shocked, but without showing any signs of it, he entered the city with a group of "remnants and defeated generals" behind him.
When the people outside entered the city, the people inside quickly sent out a group of cavalry and galloped out of the city.
Zhu Hanchun was very excited when he heard the scout's report.
The silver face was already trapped on the battlefield of the imperial army, and Xuzhou City sent elite troops to support him.
Xuzhou City is now almost half empty.
The most important thing is not yet here, he is still waiting for the last signal.
Zhu Hanchun put his telescope against one eye and kept looking towards the tower.
Thinking of Zhu Hanchun as a scholar, he was not as focused as he was now on reading articles and looking at women.
But now, he was staring at the Xuzhou Gate Tower.
After a while, and after another, just when he was getting impatient with waiting, he saw the dull and solemn military flags falling one after another on the brightly lit city tower, and the firelight reflected them brightly.
The military flags of Guangzhou were raised one after another!
The people who entered Xuzhou City disguised as injured Su Zheng soldiers had carried out a sneak attack!
Taking the flag change as a signal, Zhu Hanchun no longer hesitated.
In his opinion, the gates of Xuzhou City are now almost wide open, waiting for his new master to move in!
Today it is Xuzhou City, and tomorrow it will be that princess.
Who is the Suzheng Army? The Guangzhou Army is the future master of this world. Doesn’t the little princess have to kneel under his crotch?!
"Take Xuzhou City!"
Like a real general, he rode his horse straight to the gate of Xuzhou City.
Xuzhou City, which had changed its flags all over the city, opened its gates wide and waited for his entry.
Zhu Hanchun was so proud that he hit his horse and galloped in. Xiao finally got the Xuzhou city he had wanted for a long time!
Unexpectedly, he rushed into the city gate with his troops and horses, and when he was about to join his own soldiers who were advancing into the city and completely capture Xuzhou City, he found that the city was quiet.
Zhu Hanchun's eyelids twitched, and when he looked back, he saw that the door he had just entered was slowly closing.
The moment the city gate closed, he suddenly heard a light and heavy snort.
He tensed up and looked around. He saw that on the high city tower, all the high-flying military flags of Guangshuo had disappeared at some point, and the black flag of the Suzheng Army had been erected again.
The torch shines on the big flag and also reflects the people under it.
The man's posture was as tall and straight as a pine tree, standing with his hands behind his hands under the solemn and solemn military flag flying neatly. The silver face on his face seemed to be plated with gold in the light of the torch.
The blood all over Zhu Hanchun's body flowed backwards.
"Yinmian. How could it be Yinmian?"
Wasn't Yin Mian entangled by the soldiers and horses of the imperial court?
Isn't Xuzhou City controlled by his vanguard?
Isn't he sure to win this battle?
There was a commotion in Zhu Hanchun's mind, but these commotions were suppressed by the cold and solemn voice of the silver-faced man on the tower.
"A few days late."
He suddenly said this.
Zhu Hanchun didn't understand the chill for a moment, but the next moment, he suddenly saw him on the high wall, drawing his bow and arrow.
The sound of the sharp arrow breaking through the wind seemed to have pierced Zhu Hanchun's eardrums. He opened his eyes wide and his eyes were split. The sharp arrow had shrunk into a silver point. Just when it was almost invisible, it suddenly appeared again.
