Chapter 1784 take the city
Wei Tianqing woke up and opened his eyes, but found a dazzling burst of sunlight shining on his eyes. He hurriedly raised his hand to block it. At this time, he heard a voice from the side: "Sir, are awake!"
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wei Tianqing reluctantly sat up, but found that he was in a forest with the scorching sun hanging on the sky, shining through the treetops, looking left and right, but found that he was lying beside a stone, with several subordinates approaching him.
"grown ups!"
Wei Tianqing clenched his fists, recovered his strength, and his head was quite refreshed, so he asked, "Where is this?"
"Sir, you drank too much last night." The person next to him said, "We can only come here to rest for a while."
Wei Tianqing immediately got up, but felt a sense of relief on his body. When he looked down, he saw that he was wearing a single garment. He thought that his subordinates saw that he was drunk, so he helped him take off his armor and quickly walked out of the woods. He looked around and vaguely remembered that he had been drinking on the grass not far away last night, but the traces of Pei Ji and others had long disappeared.
"Where are people from the northwest?" Wei Tianqing asked in a deep voice.
"Sir, they left after you get drunk." The general said, "When we saw that they did not hurt the Lord, we did not chase him. How do you feel now?"
Wei Tianqing clenched his fist and said, "I am fooled, you are fooled, I was not drunk last night last night!"
Everyone looked at each other, but they all showed suspicion. One of them said with courage: "Sir, you were indeed drunk last night. We thought at first they hurt you, but later we saw that you were not seriously injured. We just got drunk, so we carried you here to rest. How do you feel now?"
Wei Tianqing smiled bitterly and said, "They poisoned the wine!" Seeing that everyone under his command showed doubts, he knew that they did not believe it very much, and sighed, "Forget it, take my armor and let's go back to Liangzhou quickly."
"Clothing and armor?" Everyone looked at each other. Seeing this, Wei Tianqing knew that something was wrong and said in a deep voice: "What happened? Where is the general's armor?"
One person plucked up his courage and said, "My lord and Pei Ji drank last night. We didn't dare to get close to the past, but when we passed, the My lord was already drunk, and he was not wearing any armor on his body at that time!"
"What?" Wei Tianqing suddenly changed color.
A general seemed to understand something, and stomped his feet and said in a silence: "Oh, we have been negligent and did not care about this festival. Your armor may have been taken away by the people of the Northwest!"
A man next to him said wonderingly: "Take away the adult's armor? What's the use?"
Wei Tianqing's face was already blue, and ran over, pulled off the reins of the horse from the tree, turned over the horse, and rushed towards Liangzhou. Everyone under his command got on the horse and followed closely behind.
It was midnight, and everything was quiet, but Liangzhou City was very defensive.
Before Wei Tianqing left, he handed over Liangzhou City to his general Xue Ju and instructed Xue Ju to defend Liangzhou. After Wei Tianqing led his troops out of the city, Xue Ju began to quickly arrange city defense.
After a few days, the city of Liangzhou was filled with stones and bows and arrows, and martial law was also in full swing. After dark, it was difficult to see people in all streets and alleys in the city. Only patrol soldiers patrolled the city. Whenever someone violated the ban and appeared in the city at night, he would immediately arrest and imprison without asking about his identity.
The entire city was silent, but the defenders at the top of the city were always on guard.
Just after midnight, the defenders on the front of the city suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the north. Someone had already quickly informed Xue Ju. When Xue Ju arrived at the front of the city, he had already seen a group of people coming from the north of the city with the light of torches on the front of the city.
The formation of the people and horses was not in a mess and looked very embarrassed.
"Open the city gate quickly." Someone shouted under the city: "The Northwest Army is here!"
The soldiers on the city were all shocked. Xue Ju frowned and glanced. He saw that most of the cavalry appeared under the city, with about five or six hundred cavalry. He shouted in a deep voice: "Where is the Lord Commander?"
The soldiers on the city wall could see clearly at this time that the group of cavalry raised under the city were following Wei Tianqing to reinforce Tongzhou. Compared with the high spirits when they set out, the group of cavalry now looked in a mess, and at a glance they knew they had a defeat.
Many people felt strange in their hearts and thought that according to time, Wei Tianqing's reinforcements should have just arrived in Tongzhou. Even if they were about to collapse when fighting with the Northwest Army, they would not be able to return so quickly.
Of course, Xue Ju also understood this. He held a knife in one hand and glanced at the cavalry under the city, "How did you look like this? Why did you return so quickly?"
A man under the city whispered: "The people in the northwest attacked Tongzhou as a bluff, with the purpose of tempting us to reinforce. They ambushed heavy troops in Liuzi River and broke the dike to prevent floods. We were caught off guard and caught off guard. The team had been disbanded, and the Northwest Army must be coming to Liangzhou City next!"
When Xue Ju heard this, his face changed drastically. At this moment, he saw a team of people rushing towards him from behind. Under the light of fire, he saw that the first horse was wearing gray armor and burly figure. Xue Ju glanced at him and recognized that it was Wei Tianqing. When Wei Tianqing stopped the horse, he raised his hand and made a gesture. When Xue Ju saw that Wei Tianqing had withdrawn, he knew that what he said was true, so he immediately ordered to open the city gate and let Wei Tianqing enter the city.
The city gate opened, Wei Tianqing took the lead and took the lead in riding his horse into the city. Five or six hundred cavalry behind him followed him like a tide.
At this moment, he heard the sound of the horn. Xue Ju was stunned. Before he could react, he heard a sound of fighting sounds from the city. He was stunned for a moment and understood something in an instant. He said in a lost voice: "No!" He held the sword tightly, turned around and rushed to the city, and said sternly: "Prevent the city gate, they are disguised as northwest!"
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately understood that they all suddenly changed their color.
The sound of horns under the city was endless, but the soldiers on the top of the city had already seen that in the dark night, countless figures suddenly emerged from the north, like ghosts, rushing towards the city gate.
Xue Ju rushed to the city, but saw a group of cavalry rushing into the city. Wei Tianqing reinforced Tongzhou. The main force of Liangzhou was almost taken away, leaving only three thousand troops stationed in Liangzhou and guarding each gate. At the north gate, the total strength of the total troops was only a thousand, and most of them were guarding the city. Less than a hundred people guarding beside the city gate rushed in by the opponent's cavalry and caught off guard. In just a moment, the north gate had fallen into the control of the enemy.
Xue Ju was almost vomiting blood, and at first glance he saw "Wei Tianqing" slashing a guard. He knew that this person must be a fake, so he shouted loudly, swung his sword and slashed over him with a knife.
"Wei Tianqing" heard the movement and had already come to us with a backhand. With the sound of "choking" between the two swords, sparks flew everywhere.
When Xue Ju saw that the armor on this man was exactly the same as Wei Tianqing. He was a close general around Wei Tianqing, and he was naturally very familiar with Wei Tianqing's body outline. Even the armor on Wei Tianqing was also very familiar with it. At this time, he could see clearly that this armor was indeed Wei Tianqing's armor. Although the outline of this man was extremely similar to Wei Tianqing, his face was completely different.
The two swords met, the man grinned and said, "You are Xue Ju? Wei Tianqing is dead, do you still have to resist?"
When Xue Ju saw that Wei Tianqing armor was occupied by this man, he knew that something was wrong. He heard the other party's words and felt a stern, and he said sternly: "Look at the knife!" The blade slipped and slashed towards the man's wrist.
The man's sword technique was obviously not below Xue Ju. He turned his wrist and the blade streaked horizontally, and it had already passed Xue Ju's chest. Xue Ju hurriedly retreated. The man slashed several times, one more time more fiercely than the other. Xue Ju blocked again. He heard the man roar again. Xue Ju raised his sword to block it. The man slashed on Xue Ju's blade. Xue Ju felt his whole arm swaying violently and numb.
He gritted his teeth and held on, and at this moment, a cavalry rushed by his side. When the two armies fought, they naturally would not pay attention to fighting alone. The cavalry waved a knife and chopped down on Xue Qiao's shoulder. Xue Ju was at all unavoidable at this time. Blood splattered, and an arm flew up. Xue Ju screamed. The man who pretended to be "Wei Tianqing" shouted again. The sword light passed by, which had cut off Xue Ju's throat and said sternly: "Hou Jingang is here, and those who blocked him will be killed without mercy!"
In Tongzhou City, the governor Xu Qing and Qianhu Miao were like birds in cages, without a smile after a few days.
At this moment, they naturally had completely understood the intentions of the Northwest Army. Xu Qing sent someone to ask for help as soon as possible, which was exactly what the Northwest Army wanted to see the most. If he helped Chu Huan, he would help him.
Covering the reinforcements was Chu Huan's purpose. Xu Qing wanted to send people out of the city to notify the reinforcements and remind the reinforcements to pay attention to Chu Huan's purpose. Unfortunately, the roads that sent messages to the outside have been blocked by the Northwest Rangers, and no soldiers were sent at all.
It was the fourth morning when the Northwest Army was at the city. The Northwest Army did not really launch an attack on Tongzhou City. Xu Qing knew that what he thought was absolutely right. In the past two days, he had been hoping that reinforcements would pay more attention to themselves and not fall into the trap of the Northwest Army.
However, neither Liangzhou nor Yunshan, the two reinforcements had appeared for a long time. Xu Qing was uneasy, like a mountain pressing on his head. In just two days, he seemed to have become ten years older.
Just when he was in despair, Hu Miao came like the wind, "Sir, good news, good news!"
Xu Qing was shocked, but Hu Miao was already excited: "Our reinforcements have appeared outside the North City outside the North City. Is it the Governor General, and the Governor General led the reinforcements to arrive!"
Xu Qing spread his eyebrows and hurried to the north city. Looking out, there was a small hill outside the north city. The distance was not too far. Xu Qing saw that soldiers and horses appeared near the hill, with flags waving. In the sun, the soldiers and armor were bright. It was the reinforcements from Yunshan Mansion that arrived.
