Chapter five hundred and forty fifth sneak attack on Luoyang
West of Luoyang City, in the tent of Jiling Army.
At this time, it was completely dark, and the siege was not going well. The soldiers were tired and hungry. Ji Ling himself was also rumbling and could only call the gold to withdraw his troops.
In his commanding tent, Ji Ling walked around, feeling upset. The soldiers brought food. Although he was hungry, he still couldn't get any appetite.
The deputy general couldn't bear it anymore and walked over and advised, "General, stop turning around, just eat something first."
"Eat and eat, you will know how to eat!" Ji Ling was anxious and kicked over the stove in the handsome tent, causing carbon fire to splash.
"A group of waste, Luoyang City has such a small force, but it can't be captured for so many days. What's the point of taking you!"
The deputy general did not dare to refute, but asked the soldiers outside the commander's tent to come in, clean up the carbon fire on the ground, and bring a new brazier again.
Perhaps he had kicked the brazier and vented it, Ji Ling's mood slightly relieved, and the deputy general stood up.
"General, don't be anxious. Victory and defeat are common among military strategists. Although our army has suffered a lot of losses now, the main force is still there. The last general found that as the evening approached, the defenders in the city seemed to be weakening. I guessed that it was because Hulao Pass was in an emergency, so Gao Shun sent reinforcements to the city. If so, there would be less than 20,000 defenders in the city. Tomorrow, our army would be better off as the troops were divided and attacked the four gates at the same time. It would be difficult for the opponent to guard against such troops, and it would definitely be possible."
"Fart!" Ji Ling had just calmed down a little, but was angry with the words of the deputy general.
"Didn't you see the power of those huge crossbows on the city wall? As long as one or two thousand people defend on one city gate, and these powerful crossbows are enough to guard against the attack of tens of thousands of people, you have to die and go to death."
"I... am I kind of intent too..." The deputy general looked aggrieved.
A soldier lifted the curtain and knelt in front of Ji Ling.
"General, there is someone outside the camp asking for a visit."
"I haven't seen you, are you upset about this general? No one comes, let him get out!"
Ji Ling shouted impatiently.
The soldier continued, "But... but he claimed to be the messenger of Yanzhou and said he had important things to report to the general."
"Hmm?" Jiling immediately raised his spirits.
"Cao Mengde's messenger? What did he want to say?"
The deputy general opened his mouth and said nothing in the end.
When Ji Ling saw him like this, he waved a small tripod with soup and smashed it over.
"I am really a waste when I ask you something!"
The deputy general barely avoided the tripod. Although he was very unhappy, he could only answer: "The last general thought that since Cao Cao in Yanzhou was an ally of our army, he had also said that he would send troops to take over this battle. I believe that the messenger came here from all over the place, probably for this matter."
"Well, you guys can say a few useful words."
Ji Ling's face relaxed a little, and he said to the soldier: "Take a messenger to see me."
Not long after, a strong man was kept in by the soldier.
"Under General Cao Hong's command, Bai San'er, pay homage to General Ji Ling."
Ji Ling sat upright in his seat, looked at the man a few times, and said carelessly: "General Cao Zilian is a capable general of General Cao Cao. What certificate do you have if you say he is a soldier under his command?"
Bai San'er was prepared and took out a letter from her arms and an iron plate.
"This is the waist card of my general. Please check it out. There is another letter from my general to General Ji Ling. After reading it, the general should understand the purpose of the villain."
Ji Ling waved his hand, and the soldiers on the side walked over, took two items, and handed them to him.
He first looked at the waist card with the waist card for a long time: "Well, it's the waist card of the general of Yanzhou. It seems that you are indeed under General Zilian. Let me see what he has to give me."
Ji Ling unfolded the letter, and after reading it for a while, he was so surprised that he was beyond surprise.
"General Zi Lian has actually arrived in Luoyang, and have you attacked the city together today?"
Bai Saner said solemnly: "Yes. Our army came through the mountains in the south of the city. It was short of troops and it was difficult to capture the city. Therefore, he pretended to go to attack Hulao Pass and forced the defenders in the city to send troops to reinforce. We personally saw that the white-robed general named Zhao led no less than 7,000 troops to help."
"Okay, wonderful, really wonderful! No wonder there were obviously fewer defenders in the city not long ago."
Ji Ling slapped the table with excitement, looking at the letter in her hand, as if she had seen some treasure.
"My general's intention is that soldiers are more powerful than speed. It's a long and dreamy night. I want to make an agreement with the general that at midnight tonight, attack Luoyang City from both sides and raid the battle. I will definitely succeed in a battle."
Ji Ling said without hesitation: "Okay, I agree. On behalf of me, I, General Zilian, thank you. After I captured Luoyang, I, Ji, invited Zilian to drink, haha!"
"Since that's the case, the villain will go back immediately, report to my general, and say goodbye."
"Come, send this hero out of the camp."
Ji Ling was very excited, and his depressed mood had completely turned around at this time.
"If you send the order, the entire army will be temporarily rested. The soldiers will not remove their armor and the horses will not untied their saddles. At midnight tonight, they will attack Luoyang."
On the south side of the Yuzhou camp, several soldiers had just finished their meal. The hard battles for several days had already made them very tired. When they heard this order, the soldiers complained about Liantian.
"This Luoyang City is so difficult to attack. I think even if we fill all our brothers in, we can't attack them. Just night attack can be useless."
"Oh, who said no? But those generals only care about their own glory and wealth, who cares about our lives or death?"
"Well, take advantage of the fact that there are more than two hours left before midnight, hurry up and rest, otherwise where will the energy get to attack the city in a while?"
"Oh, life is hard..."
The soldiers wiped out the bonfire and were about to go back to the camp to sleep when a soldier suddenly stood up and walked out.
"I've drunk too much water, just take a break."
His words also aroused the urge to urinate several others.
"Go and go together."
Six or seven soldiers ran to a small wood dozens of steps outside the camp. Then, there were bursts of water flowing.
"Huh...good..."
Several people trembled and raised their belts. One of them deliberately lowered his head and looked at both sides.
"Haha, you guy, you can brag on weekdays. It turns out that you are just this big, I think you are not much better than that loach."
"Damn, you still say I? If I am a loach, you will be an earthworm."
"I'm not going to fall down, otherwise where did the four kids come from? You guys who don't have enough hair, compare this with me and make a humiliation, haha."
"Tsk, you're out of war for many years and don't have to stay at home. Every time you go back, you'll have a baby. How could it happen? I'm afraid there's a story in it..."
Several old men were making fun of each other, and the older man who spoke first suddenly became quiet and even made a "shhh" gesture towards the other people.
"Don't talk, listen carefully..."
The other people even took him as a joke again, so they didn't take it seriously: "Listen? What are you listening to your wife's screams? Haha..."
The elderly soldier was a little angry and couldn't help but yelled in a low voice: "Shut up, don't you hear the sound of horse hooves over there!"
These people seemed really angry when they saw him. They didn't look like they were joking, so they really became quiet.
"Hmm? It seems that there is really a faint sound of horse hooves, right in front of you..."
"Is it the cavalry in Luoyang City coming?" As soon as this guess came out, the faces of the people turned pale in an instant.
The older soldier said, "It's not a cavalry. When I heard this, I was clearly just a single rider. I think it was probably a provoker in the city and I wanted to go out to help out the soldiers at night."
After he said this, the people around him immediately became interested.
"If you catch this horse in Luoyang City, it will be a great achievement."
"What are you waiting for? Get on!"
Seven or eight people, without saying a word, quietly followed the sound.
Not far away, the few people saw a man riding a horse, running towards Hangu Pass under the faint moonlight. The group of soldiers seemed to see a big girl lying in front of him, and rushed over.
"Stop, who is the rat? Stop and quickly dismount and surrender!"
It was dark, and they suddenly came out of the woods beside the road, which scared the horseman.
"What are you doing..."
Seven or eight people surrounded the man, and the older soldier walked out and said, "This place is the place where my army camp in Yuzhou is stationed. You are sneaking and have any plans, tell me quickly!"
