Chapter 495 The former army fought at Taohebei at night, and Tuyuhun was reported alive
(Thanks to the Chinese Tiger Army, ppppppppppppppp, zj75093 monthly ticket support, and also thanks to Sanshanshui for their rewards, thank you!)
At the third hour of Mao, with a few drums, a sound of footsteps came. A team of grass soldiers wearing white turtles and brown robes yawned, holding swords and guns to climb the city tower. The leader was a middle-aged man of medium size, with a pair of bright eyes on the round face with red black and red face, a straight nose and square mouth, and a cold expression. He went up the city tower and shouted, "The guard has changed!"
Dozens of men suddenly gushed out of the city gate tower, walked out with a sleepy look on their faces, stretching their waists and yawning. The middle-aged strong man who came here frowned when he saw this, but said nothing. Seeing this, the head of the defenders in the city quickly smiled and said, "It started to fog in the second half of the night last night, and he couldn't see his five fingers even if he reached out. The fog was too heavy. He was soaked in his clothes shortly after staying outside. He couldn't bear it, so he went into the building to avoid it."
The strong man glanced at the team's head coldly, but still didn't say anything. He just glanced at the top of the city wall with his cold eyes. The team of soldiers behind him stood agilely and stood directly on the top of the city wall. The team was bored, laughed, and took his subordinates to the horse road, and was laid off to return to the camp.
The strong man Zhang Congli stood on the top of the city with his hands behind his back, pondered for a moment, and called his personal soldiers: "Zhao Dayong, you are so meticulous, take a group of people out of the city and run along the city wall. In such a foggy weather, don't let people touch the foot of the city, we don't know."
Zhao Dayong waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother, just spare me. In this foggy weather, I can't see anything clearly when I go out. If there are really officers and soldiers coming, I can't even keep the guys eating when I go out. I want me to see. I just said that the officers and soldiers came yesterday. As a result, General Cao later reported that the officers and soldiers had just moved from west to east of Songcheng. Now that there is such a big fog, we should stay in the city."
Zhang Congli was not angry at this subordinate, but he just laughed and scolded, "You are the ones who are so smart." Zhang Congli was originally a landlord in Jeju, and Zhao Dayong was his cousin. When Cao Jun fought to Jeju, he beat the land of the local tyrants. Zhang Congli knew that he could not escape, so he simply took the initiative to join the group. Therefore, he saved the Zhang family. Zhang Congli had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, studied books, and could ride and shoot, and his boss was very respected. He had become a general in the short term, with a hundred brothers under his command, and Zhao Dayong became his personal military commander.
Seeing that Zhang Congli would not ask him to leave the city, Zhao Dayong smiled and said, "I heard that the war in this town is so fierce. Why doesn't our general leave and insist on fighting with him here?"
"Hey!" Zhang Congli shook his head with a wry smile. "Do you think I know about this? But putting troops under the nose of the town is really scary. I heard that our General Shang has also advised the General several times, but he ignored it."
Zhao Dayong snorted coldly, "I see that the general is now fascinated by that Yang family. Now he is in the gentle hometown all day long, how can he still remember his brothers?"
Zhang Congli glared at his cousin, "If you don't want to be honest, don't just talk nonsense!"
Both cousins remained silent and stopped talking, and their thoughts were thoughtful.
Yu Hou is a city with a wall not very high, only more than one meter high, less than two meter. Fu Cun picked up dozens of thin and climbing soldiers, sneaked into the city quietly, and used a wooden hammer to chisel the big iron nails into the wall, climbing up the edge. With the protection of the fog, they successfully climbed to the city far away from the city tower. Fu Cun hung down the rope ladder on his back and contacted more people to the city.
Soon, a cross ladder was set up on the top of the city. In a short while, five hundred people in the battalion had been picked up to the top of the city. At this time, the guards at the city tower and corner tower had not yet found them hidden in the heavy fog.
Fu Cunshen drew out his big sword with his hands from his back, waved forward silently, and immediately took his soldiers to touch the city tower. Several guards suddenly found several figures rushing out from the fog opposite. Before they could see who was opposite, Fu Cunshen's big sword had already cut off one of them with one sword. Without waiting for them to scream, several personal soldiers behind Fu Cun rushed over quickly. These ten soldiers were not newly recruited soldiers, but elite soldiers who had followed Fu Cun for a long time. They each held a crossbow in their hands and pulled the string sword at the frightened guards. The sharp crossbow arrow shot several directly to kill them, and there was no time to make a sound.
One after another, Fu Cun and his brothers killed each other. In less than a cup of tea, most of the hundred-man grass army on the top of the city were dead. A puffed sound shocked Zhang Congli. He turned his head suddenly, but he happened to see a crossbow arrow flying straight towards him. He was so scared that he fell back and barely avoided the arrow. But the next moment, a long sword with warm blood was already on his neck.
Fu Cunshen looked at Zhao Congli carefully, wearing a set of iron armor, a horizontal knife hanging around his waist, and a steel spear in his hand. He was of medium height, but he was very brave. Most of the thieves were mobs, and those who could have such outfits must be elites, and they were also thieves.
After thinking about it, Fu Cunshen ordered, "If you dare to call, you will take your head."
"I surrender!" Zhang Chengli did not hesitate at all. When he saw the gorgeous armor, the sword in his hand, and the soldiers holding crossbows behind him, he immediately understood that the Zhenzhao had arrived. Although he still couldn't figure out why they suddenly fell from the sky. "I am from Jeju, and I am completely forced to force the thief army."
After receiving Zhang Congli's surrender, the soldiers guarding the city behind him were immediately persuaded to surrender.
Fu Cun waved his hand, and Zhang Congli and Zhao Dayong volunteered, and took the remaining Bendu people to get off the horse first and arrived in front of the city gate. The guards in the city gate saw them coming down and were joking, but unexpectedly, Zhang Congli suddenly waved his hand and dozens of people rushed towards his brothers before. After a moment, the city gate had been taken off by Zhang Congli.
Fu Cun went down to the city and waved his hand. The soldiers of the camp immediately occupied the city gate, and then quickly opened the door and opened the suspension bridge to welcome the brothers outside the city into the city.
In the early morning of May, Cao Shixiong slept soundly in the backyard of the county government in Yucheng. Last night, he hugged the wives of several officials in the city and fought all night. He had just fallen asleep.
I was originally stationed in the west camp of Yucheng, but since he heard the news that he had returned to the town and sent troops yesterday, he immediately shocked General Wang Xianzhi in the city. Although it was later confirmed that the town only moved the camp from the west of Songcheng to the east of Songcheng, it still made Wang Xianzhi feel uncomfortable. Finally, he made an excuse and quietly retreated to the east of Mengzhuze camp in the east of the city at night. Yucheng was left to him. As soon as he took over Yucheng, the first thing Cao Shixiong did was to take all the wives of several officials in Yucheng to his house and comfort them one by one.
Cao Shixiong had a hobby, that is, he liked to play with the wives of officials, and only played with the wife of the official, and was not interested in the concubine. No matter how ugly he was, he liked it if he was a wife of an official, and he became more excited if he had an imperial decree. Tonight, he played four of them all at once, but unfortunately the county magistrate's wife was taken away by the general. I heard that he was from a commoner, but he was very beautiful and coquettish.
After a night of madness, I finally fell asleep with satisfaction.
"General, something is wrong, the officers and soldiers are coming into the city!"
The head of the personal soldiers broke into the house in panic and woke him up from his beautiful dream.
"No, the town** was just moving to the east of the city yesterday, and now it is still in Songcheng. How could it be that it was the damn refugees who were stealing food and killing them all tomorrow." Cao Shixiong lay on the bed and opened his eyes, not even lazy to sit up.
"General, it's not a refugee, but the Tang army has entered the city and is setting fires everywhere." The personal soldier said.
"Nonsense, it must be the camp of soldiers left by Shang Rang. They didn't give them rewards yesterday, so these dogs dared to rebel. They started to make trouble, and after they had enough trouble, they would naturally return to the camp." Cao Shixiong said lazily, yawning, a little excited last night, even the four women of Yu were a little unspirited today. The Cao Army now has a large team, and tens of thousands of people are not in charge of them. Everyone has always just to take care of their elite camps. These elite camps usually eat and drink well, and have rewards and women to play with.
It is much higher than other camps. This will naturally attract some jealousy, and it is normal to make trouble at any time. But it doesn’t matter to everyone. Anyway, those soldiers and prisoners can just give them some food to hang. As for women who reward money, they will rob them themselves if they have the ability, and they will not blame others if they don’t have the ability. These soldiers are just strong and they will only be able to kill them when they are at the critical moment. Cao Shixiong is too lazy to care about these people attentively. Nowadays, there is nothing but people, and they will only be able to kill them if they die.
"General, it's really the Tang army, the town **. They're coming into the city!"
At this time, Cao Shixiong finally woke up from half-sleeping. This personal soldier was an old brother who had followed him for many years. He followed him when he was selling private salt. He would never make such jokes. He sat up in fear, "How many soldiers are there?"
"Thousands of mist are everywhere in the sky, and I can't see how many are there, but the south gate and the east gate are broken!"
Cao Shixiong was startled, put on his robe and armor, and carried a knife and shouted loudly to summon his personal soldiers. As soon as he left the county government office, a group of people had already rushed to the streets in front of him. The fiery red battle robe and red battle flag were the town**.
