Chapter 689: Fraudulent Luocheng

(Thanks to 774488 children's shoes for their super rewards, and congratulations to 774488 for becoming the guardian of this book...)

On the third day of the April 19th, the night is dark, the wind is high and the moon is high.

After the Xu hour, there was no more light in the wilderness, and the night was as dark as a curtain.

On the tower of Luokou Cang City, an important town by Luoshui River, the ward sentry who was bored on duty suddenly stood up straight, rubbed his sore eyes, and a dim mist rose in the direction of the distant northern Mangshan. It seemed that something was flashing inside, approaching, and the shadows were from hazy to visible. It was clearly that the army was coming over with torches! The sentry's head was dizzy. Could it be that he had just drunk too much and was drunk when he was on night shift?

But he quickly woke up and ran to report the situation to the on-duty trooper.

"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!"

The officers on the top of the city quickly sounded the alarm bell on the city tower. The soldiers guarding Luokou Cang City were all elite soldiers carefully reorganized by Li Mi. In Luokou City behind them, two-thirds of the Wei army's food and grass were stored, which made the officers of the defenders very alert.

However, after the alarm bell sounded, Meng Ke, the left-behind captain who rushed to the city, was also very puzzled. He had just sent 10,000 troops from the city to reinforce Luokou. Why was another army coming from Luokou to the north at night?

However, although he was puzzled, he did not expect that the troops coming from the brigade might be the enemy. After all, in the north, except for the Mangshan Mountains that stretched for more than a hundred miles, there was only the Luokou Avenue. Now in Luokou, there is an army of more than 100,000 led by the King of Wei and the generals. Although the Hebei Army is powerful, it is not as powerful as this.

He was puzzled and climbed up to the city and watched.

The team rolled forward and turned into an extremely long snake formation, winding and moving, getting closer and closer. Gradually, the defenders could see the troops clearly on the top of the city. The vanguard approached nearly a thousand cavalry, and then advanced were the infantrymen. Over the team, spears like clouds thorns emitted a faint shaking reflection under the light of the torch in the dark night.

Meng Ke felt relieved. It was obvious that the regular army was coming, and there were tens of thousands of people. Seeing the opponent swaying so loudly and holding a stick with open flames, it was impossible for him to be Hebei soldiers or Jianghuai soldiers. Even if the enemy really came, he would only come secretly.

When the team approached the point again, three cavalry ran out of the cavalry in front of the opponent and rushed to the moat in front of the city gate to stop.

The three knights were all wearing neatly bright light armor, and they were the most elite knights at first glance. Moreover, the armor and robes of the three men were all in red, which was the color of the Wei army. However, he still did not dare to be careless and said to the officers next to him, "Be careful, be careful, but without the orders of our general, you must not act rashly."

In front of friendly troops, if the bows and arrows face each other, it would be impolite. If not properly handled, it would touch the general who led the troops. He was just a captain, and the opponent was carrying tens of thousands of troops and an elite cavalry of thousands of people, and his status was much higher than that of him. However, he also took a scruple and ordered the archers to go to the city wall to guard against the city wall, and if there was any change, they could fight back immediately.

Meng Ke shouted loudly at the bottom, "Which general is here? I don't know why he came here in the middle of the night?"

In front of the moat, Lu Shishen was wearing the red armor of Wei generals, followed by a personal soldier, and the other was one of the Wei prisoners who had been captured during the day to reinforce Luokou. The Wei soldiers rode on the horse, their faces turned blue, and their teeth were still shaking up and down.

Lu Shishen whispered, "Don't be nervous, follow the answer we taught you before. As long as you perform well, you will be able to mess with me in the future, and you will be more than a hundred times better than before."

After receiving the promise of Lu Shishen, the Wei soldiers Liu An nodded and rode their horses forward for a few steps, "Person Meng, I am Liu An, the mate commander of the former camp."

Several officers on the top of the city were stunned when they heard Liu An's voice. Although Liu An was just a young man, he used to defend in Luokoucang City and was quite familiar with each other. Now several officers heard his voice.

"Sir, it seems that it is Liu An's voice."

"Put down the suspension bridge, don't open the city gate, put a basket and pull him up to ask clearly." Meng Ke thought for a while and said.

Several soldiers immediately slinged the big sling according to the order, slowly lowered the big suspension bridge and laid it on the three-meter-wide moat. Liu An got off the horse and ran down the city gate, and sat on the hanging basket. The soldiers had already hung him up.

As soon as Liu An went up, several officers recognized him. Meng Ke checked his waist card and other items, and it was indeed correct.

"Liu An, you just followed the army out of the city to reinforce Luokou in the morning. Why are you back in the evening?"

Liu An was still a little nervous when he was under the city, but when he came to the city, he was willing to sacrifice his life. This was not only for his own future, but also for his younger brother's life. The other person who was captured by the Hebei army with him today was his younger brother. In the chaotic times, he only had one relative left. He could not return to the city by himself at this time, so he ignored his younger brother.

According to what Lu Shishen taught, Liu An told Meng Ke that the army under the city was going to rush to Jinyong City. In the afternoon, the king received an urgent report from General Jinyong Dangren, saying that the Jianghuai army in Heyang crossed the river to attack Jinyong City. The king was considering the safety of Jinyong City, so he dispatched General Lu, who had just reinforced Luokou from Hulao Pass, to bring 20,000 people to reinforce Jinyong. Now the eight thousand vanguards led by Huang Jiaowei came to the city first, and General Lu brought the King of Wei's military orders and then arrived. The soldiers ran from Hulao to Luokou, and from Luokou to Cangcheng. They ran for a day and were hungry. Huang Jiaowei came to get food and grass."

Meng Ke couldn't help but hesitate when he didn't see Li Mi's military orders. Fortunately, the other party did not ask to enter the city. As long as he asked to get food, it was not a difficult requirement. There were not many other things in the city, but the most food was the most. As long as they didn't enter the city, it wouldn't be a big deal to give them some food. After all, after a while, the General Lu would arrive. He had also heard of the General Lu, and it was said that it seemed to be a relative of a woman who was favored by the King of Wei. Although he had never seen it, he knew that he had been stationed in the Dahu Prison before.

After hearing Meng Ke's decision, Liu An basically agreed. "Mr. Meng, what you said is true, but Captain Huang just explained that the other brothers could stay outside, but he had to bring a few Captains into the city. He said that he had to arrange wine and food for Lord Lu and wait for Lord Lu's arrival. Do you think of this?"

Hearing this request, Meng Ke nodded in agreement after just a little thought. The Wei army was basically from the peasant army. Although the King of Wei has more and more rules in the past two years, and it has become more and more like the official army, but the upper part is above and the lower part is below. In private, everyone still retains a lot of their previous habits. What's more, General Lu is the person who said something in front of the King of Wei. How could they offend such a person?

"Liu An, tell me, do you know if General Lu has any hobbies? Let's prepare some in advance." Meng Ke whispered to Liu Ande. Although the garrison in Luokou Cang City is not of an official rank, Luokou City is a large granary, which is a very good position. Originally, Meng Ke was just a deputy general, but now that lord is leading troops to Luokou. Now he happened to meet such a noble person as General Lu. Of course, he wanted to take the opportunity to make a relationship. After the activity, he could see if he could remove the sub-word.

Liu An turned his head and said to Meng Ke mysteriously, "This time I was sent to Huang Zheng to lead the way, so I have to look at him. I heard that Huang Zheng was the confidant of General Lu, and he liked him very much. As long as Lord Meng treats Huang Zheng well, can Lord Huang treat Lord Meng badly?"

When Meng Ke heard this, he was overjoyed. He immediately took out a few gold coins and stuffed them into Liu An's hand, "Okay, Liu An, you are indeed worthy of being from our Cangcheng, and your heart is still on our own. I will ask someone to open the city gate immediately. You go back and invite Captain Huang to the city. You have to say a few more good things to me in front of Captain Huang."

Liu An answered with his chest repeatedly, but there was no difference between the two of them in the past.

Lu Shishen waited in front of the moat for a long time, and was a little impatient. He even thought that the suspension bridge had fallen, so he might as well take the risk of attacking directly, rush over and place a gunpowder bag in front of the city gate and blow the door open. However, he looked up at the strong and tall city wall and the faint light reflected from time to time under the battlements, but he still endured it. Once he failed to blow up the city gate as soon as possible, all their plans would be completed.

After almost a moment, Lu Shishen saw the north gate of Luokou Cang City creaking slowly. In the city gate, Liu An trotted out of the city gate, crossed the suspension bridge, and ran to Lu Shishen, "General, the matter is done. Meng Ke asked General and other officers to enter the city!"

Lu Shishen nodded, turned around and returned to his cavalry brigade with the two.

After hearing Lu Shishen's words, Guo Xiaoke looked at Liu An and said, "Are you colluding with the people in the city? As soon as we enter, we will catch the turtle in a jar?"

"The villain dares not, never dare. The villain is willing to stay outside the city. If something goes wrong, the general can kill the younger brothers." Liu An quickly explained.

"General, let me bring dozens of brothers into the city. Once we arrive at the city gate, we will fight the city gate immediately. You can rush over immediately." Guo Xiaoke suggested.

Lu Shishen shook his hand, "Don't argue anymore at this time. I've already shown up in front of me just now. If you change people, the other party will definitely be suspicious. I will take a hundred brothers to ride over and directly seize the city gate. When you see us taking action, come over immediately. By the way, Liu An, please come with me."

"Okay!" Guo Xiaoke nodded solemnly. Although this was an adventure, it was a better way to attack Luokou Cang City.
