Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 866 Break Qiu City First
"Open the city gate quickly! I'll be back with a message!"

Outside the city gate of Qiu County, two groups of soldiers were anxiously beating the city gate. There were about 200 people, and some were carrying several corpses. Many of them had bandages on their heads with blood stains on them, which looked very serious. Embarrassed.

On top of the city wall, Qiuxian County Magistrate and County Lieutenant were watching, unable to decide for a moment.

This sudden attack really took them so unexpectedly that they were at a loss what to do.

"Liu County Lieutenant, do you think we should let this team of troops in?" After the county magistrate looked at it for a few times, he asked the county captain next to him with some uncertainty, "I'm afraid something will happen if we let it go like this."

"But General Wang hasn't returned yet!" The county captain had an embarrassed expression on his face. Logically speaking, he was the one who should be in charge of the county's military affairs, but this time he was stationed in the city, and the command authority was sent from above. The people took over, "That little general Wang, who is a member of the general's family, is usually very dignified. When he left just now, he gave instructions that no matter what the situation, do not open the door and let anyone in easily. This man Just left..."

"What do you mean this is? Why did the chaos suddenly break out?" The county magistrate looked embarrassed and entangled. He glanced at the soldiers who kept knocking on the city gate and shook his head, "Logically speaking, this situation shouldn't be like this. , which Hu people are the general conquering this time? In the past, the Hu people were not so powerful. They all broke into the hinterland of our Fanyang County. At the beginning, Shi Le only sent a few troops and plundered the surrounding area. Fan."

The county captain sighed and said: "After all, Qiu County is close to Youzhou and has always been a heavily guarded place. If we hadn't attacked foreign enemies this time and mobilized troops and horses, this place wouldn't be so empty. But then again , no one thought that our Qiu County would be attacked, and how long ago? We just sent the soldiers away a few days ago!"

Boom boom boom!
The two people here are still talking, and the knocking on the door below becomes more and more intense. The number of people at the beginning of 200 people has increased a lot in the blink of an eye. Everyone is very anxious, and many people are shouting, saying, There is important military information to report, and there can be no delay.

Such a battle made the two officials panic, and the county magistrate would order people to go to open the gate of the city and let them in first.

However, the county lieutenant still had some sense and stopped the county magistrate and said: "There are so many people, good and bad mixed together. If one or two spies get in, chaos may arise!"

The county magistrate pointed to a few people below the city and said: "I don't think so. You have also seen the attire of these people. They are not ordinary garrison troops. They look like they are patrolling. And it has only been so long. Even if they can get one or two There are only a few military uniforms, so there are only one or two people at most. After careful screening, you will definitely gain something. Although I am not familiar with military affairs, I have seen the art of war and know that the army has its own laws. In ancient times, Han Xin led the troops, There is a set of mutual screening..."

The more the magistrate spoke, the more he felt. But just when he was thinking of going into a long speech, there was a sudden uproar below, followed by a cracking sound. Suddenly, the soldiers and horses below were suddenly swarmed towards the city gate. I don’t know if the city gate was opened or not, but there was chaos immediately.

"What's going on? I haven't given the order yet, so why did the city gate open?" The county magistrate didn't bother to show off his military skills and directly asked the people around him, but the soldiers on this side were all on the side. , and how can we know?
Fortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, two people came up in a hurry, wearing soldiers' uniforms, approaching with fearful expressions on their faces.

The guards around here did their duty faithfully. They stopped the two men at first, but after hearing the two shouting "It's not good" and "It's not good", the county magistrate still waved his hand, told the soldiers to retreat, and called the two people to Ask ahead.

The two men came over, looking shocked, and said to each other: "Report to the county king, there is a spy in the city. Taking advantage of the chaos, he approached the city gate, killed the soldiers guarding the gate, opened the city gate, and let in all the soldiers outside the city! "

Another said: "The soldiers outside the city also have people who are cooperating inside and outside. This city gate simply can't stand it!"

"Sure enough, there is a traitor! What a pity!" When the county magistrate heard this, he immediately beat his chest and stamped his feet, as if he had expected it and completely forgot about his previous discussion.

But he was still talking, and the two people who were slowly approaching secretly looked at each other!
This detail was noticed by the county captain who was watching the two men. He secretly yelled that something was wrong and was about to step forward to stop him. Unfortunately, he was a step too late. The two soldiers rushed over and grabbed the county magistrate directly. After holding on to each other, he took out a short knife from somewhere on his body, placed it on the magistrate's neck, and stared coldly at the people in front of him. "What a man who went deep into the tiger's den. The two of you have such courage. They must be extraordinary people. Can you tell me your name so that Liu can listen to it?" Several soldiers nearby looked at him and asked them to seize the opportunity to see if they could rescue the county magistrate.

The soldier who held the county magistrate hostage ignored him at all and turned around and said: "If I were your Excellency, I would not delay like this. I would also ask the county lord to give an order to open the city gate!"

The county magistrate felt the cold breath on his neck. The two breaths were trembling and he could hardly stand still. However, he still said with a surprised look on his face: "The city gate has not been opened. Then below..."

"It's just a little bit of a cover-up." The soldier sneered and brought the dagger in his hand a few inches closer. "However, it is only a matter of time before the city gate is opened. I just want to speed up the process. County Lord, I hope you can Be able to value your own life and make wise choices.”

"Don't get excited, don't get excited..." The county magistrate hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a weak voice, "Go and open the city gate..."

The county lieutenant said bitterly: "You are also lucky, you happened to choose it when General Xiao Wang is not around..."

"Do you think this is a coincidence?" The soldier smiled mockingly, "If it is such a coincidence, why is the timing just right?"

Hearing these words, the county lieutenant woke up suddenly. He suddenly raised his finger and pointed at the two people tremblingly: "The previous military situation and the unusual movements outside were just to lure General Xiao Wang out?"

crunch...

The city gate opened, and soldiers from outside the city rushed in.

Soon, the entire city suddenly became quiet.

About a meal later, there was the sound of horse hooves outside the city again, and a group of cavalry was seen galloping towards them. Each of them seemed to have gone through a hard battle, and the sound of pursuing soldiers could be faintly heard behind them.

The leader was a young man. There was blood on his face, but he gritted his teeth. When he came to the bottom of the city, he shouted: "Open the city gate and let me in! Get the archers ready and call the people behind... …”

But before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the "Chen" flag flying on the city wall, and his words stopped abruptly.
