Four hundred and fiftieth chapters final battle (11)
"Although my body is in the hands of a thief, my heart is still facing the Tang Dynasty."
Although the number of words is not large, it is enough! Several bigwigs who also saw the letters showed joy and sighed that they were about to take down Yuezhou City. The reason why Wei Hong was able to receive a reply from the prefect of Yuezhou so quickly was because when Wei Hong contacted him, he did not tell him the following plan so as not to add pressure to him. Instead, he told him as much as possible that as long as he was willing to cooperate with him, when the day when Yuezhou City broke, he would not punish him, but instead let him be the prefect of Yuezhou City. The prefect of Yuezhou was probably not a fool. Knowing that Li Yuanjing could not achieve great things, he put his bet on Wei Hong. No matter what the purpose of the prefect of Yuezhou City was, as long as he was willing to cooperate, it would be a good thing.
The next night, Wei Hong drafted a book again and asked someone to send it to the prefect of Yuezhou. Last time he was threading needles, and this time he issued an order to win over an enemy general. As long as he was willing to open the city gate, he would not only spare the general and not die, but also reward him heavily.
Wei Hong's letter was sent out. As for whether he could successfully lure the enemy, it depends on the ability and vision of the prefect of Yuezhou. In this kind of thing, you must be steady, accurate and ruthless, and choose someone who is not loyal to Li Yuanjing, who is selfish and timid and afraid of things.
There was no movement on the first day, nor on the second day. It was not until the third day that Wei Hong was eagerly sent. When he opened it, he wrote: "The enemy general Han Wei commanded three thousand soldiers and was willing to surrender. At midnight in the Ming Dynasty, the city gate was opened from the city to welcome the army into the city!"
Han Wei's three thousand soldiers were directly ignored by Wei Hong. The most exciting thing was not how many soldiers there were or who was the surrendered general, but the "open the city gate from the inside" mentioned in the letter. As soon as the city gate was opened, Yuezhou City would be in the bag! That night, Wei Hong found Yin Kaishan and others to discuss that Yin Kaishan might be afraid of being beaten by Li Yuanjing, and said with great concern: "Will there be a fraud if it goes so smoothly?"
Wei Hong patted his chest and sweared: "No! Li Yuanjing is not an ordinary person. If he had known our plan early on, he would never have used his plan, but would have directly killed all the people in connection with him to serve as a warning. After all, there is only one way to do this kind of trick, which is to introduce our army, and at halfway through the city, cut off the army, and annihilate the troops in the city. But this method is only suitable for small cities. It is not suitable for Yuezhou City, where tens of thousands of people fight. You must know that once the city gate is opened and the cavalry leads in, they will never have the possibility of closing the city gate again."
Everyone felt that Wei Hong was right, and Li Jing asked, "How to act tomorrow?"
Before summoning them, Wei Hong had already thought about the tactics and immediately said without thinking: "It's very simple. I ordered all the cavalry in the army to prepare. As soon as the time comes, I rushed to Yuezhou City as fast as possible. Because the cavalry speed is fast, it is too late even if the enemy discovers it. The city gate should be opened and the cavalry rushed in. Then all the infantry advanced towards Yuezhou City and entered Yuezhou City. I don't need to say more about how to fight at that time. I believe that all the cabinet masters are more experienced than me."
After hearing Wei Hong's words, everyone nodded repeatedly. After Yin Kaishan was excited, his old face turned red. Looking at Wei Hong, he stuttered: "Nephew Wei Hong, I have been so negligent in the past, and I hope you don't want to take it to your heart."
"It's easy to say..." Wei Hong replied very happily. After this period of contact, Wei Hong has basically understood Yin Kaishan's temperament. Apart from being a little arrogant, he has nothing to do with it. He is a good person. Since they have admitted their mistakes on their own initiative, they should not be right and have no choice. After all, they are still a cabinet master, with wider connections and greater power than themselves. If they make a fuss, it will be hard for anyone to live.
The plan was decided so happily. The next night, the entire army was ready for battle, and 18,000 infantry prepared for war, and the war was about to begin. When the midnight period arrived, with a command, ten thousand cavalry moved at the same time and headed for Yuezhou City. At first, the cavalry were moving slowly and did not sprint, so the sound of horse hooves was very small. After being close enough to Yuezhou City, the cavalry advanced at full speed. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves shook the sky.
Because the moon was dark and the wind was high, the defenders in the city only heard the sound of horse hooves, but could not see the cavalry, and they were in chaos. At the same time, the inner responders who had been guarding the city gate took advantage of the chaos to turn against each other. The three thousand responders came out from different directions, and the defenders at the city gate caught off guard. Before the defenders could react, the city gate had been completely captured, and the inner responders should be opened.
Almost at the moment when the city gate opened, the Tang Dynasty cavalry rushed into the city with a fierce wind. At first, there were only a few dozen cavalrymen. As time went by, the cavalry rushing into the city increased at a geometric speed. In a short while, there were thousands of cavalrymen in the city. There were not many defenders guarding the city walls. When they saw so many cavalry suddenly rushed in, they were so scared that they looked like earth. They didn't even dare to resist, so they defeated the city. From this, they saw that the shrimp soldiers and crab generals were essentially different from the genuine army. Even with Li Yuanjing, the master who defied the heaven, could not change the conclusion of a mess.
The defenders gave up the city gate without resisting. Ten thousand cavalry left two thousand to guard the city gate, and the remaining eight thousand rushed back and forth in the city. Since the insiders were all concentrated at the city gate, they would kill as long as they saw the enemy in the city. The fierce style of the cavalry was even more frightened and had no morale at all.
At the same time, the infantry corps outside the city were also approaching Yuezhou City, and the fall of Yuezhou City had become a conclusion.
Li Yuanjing, who was sleeping sounded awakened by the sound of killing. He realized that Yuezhou City was over. Li Yuanjing did not show a panic and frightened look like most people. Instead, he turned his eyes wisely, then turned over and got out of bed, put on his clothes as fast as possible, ran out of the house, led 200 cavalrymen, and escaped from the back city gate.
Only generals who are at a loss will choose to live and die with the city. Li Yuanjing has other prefectures and counties to guard. Yuezhou City can be taken back if it falls. If his life is gone, it will be a waste. After escape from Yuezhou City and runs south for more than 30 miles, Li Yuanjing reduced his horse speed slightly. Although he is far away from Yuezhou City, he can still see the firelight in the direction of Yuezhou City.
Sighing, Li Yuanjing led 200 guards and continued to march south. Soon, he arrived at a small woods, and the forest was pitch black, and from time to time, one or two birds of screams came from time to time, which seemed extremely strange. Just as Li Yuanjing stopped the horse and looked at the small woods in front of him, suddenly, countless torches were ignited in the forest... (To be continued...)
