Chapter 395 Arriving in the Northern Suburbs, Investigate the Enemy's Situation First
The situation is always unpredictable.
Not long after the eldest prince's messenger left Changsha, Xu Lang's 10,000 light cavalry arrived at the northern suburbs of Changsha County.
And because they had been resisting Ling Yue's attack with all their strength, the defense in the northern suburbs was really weak. Although there were several royal flags on the city top, there were only a few hundred people patrolling back and forth.
"General, based on this estimate, the number of troops stationed in the north of the city will definitely not exceed five thousand!"
After setting up camp, a general who accompanied Xu Lang to investigate the enemy's situation made a confident judgment.
"That should be the case, but let's wait and see how General Ling responds! If everything goes well, when Shen Shi passes, we will all three armies. On the other side, General Ling will launch a full-scale attack. Changsha County will take a few days.
, it will definitely be broken!”
Xu Lang nodded. After fighting for so many times, he became more and more confident.
…
Time passed by minute by minute.
At the end of the day, the news from General Ling Yue did not come as promised. However, Xu Lang decided not to wait any longer.
"General Li, everything is going according to plan. When I give the signal at the top of the city, you must quickly lead your brothers to the city."
At this time, Xu Lang was already dressed as a beggar, and behind him were dozens of subordinates also dressed as beggars, all of whom had been in the martial arts world.
Obviously, he wanted to sneak into the city and stage a clever plan to break through.
"I humbly obey my orders!"
The general accepted the order with his hands raised, but his face looked worried.
"It's just that, general, you shoulder the weight of an army, so you really need to be careful!"
In his words, there was concern for Xu Lang's life and death. How could any coach be so reckless about his life and death? The last time he broke into General Yuezhou's Mansion at night was really dangerous!
"Haha, it doesn't matter. This general's life is very tough, and ordinary people can't accept it!"
Xu Lang understood his good intentions and patted his shoulder with a smile.
"It's really hard to start, so just find an opportunity to send a signal. In this small town, our thousands of iron cavalry will definitely be able to tread flatly!"
The general still comforted him, you know, if something happened to Xu Lang, he would not be able to bear the consequences.
"Okay! Let's go!"
Xu Lang waved his hands proudly, picked up a dog beating stick, and walked out first.
When it comes to pretending to be a beggar, Xu Lang still has a talent. When he traveled south from the capital with Fang Zui, he pretended to be a beggar for a long time. Later, he met Zheng Baye and learned the subtleties of being a beggar.
Completely understood.
You see, he is wearing a felt hat with several holes in it, and the clothes on his body are also filthy. The dog-beating stick is stained with a few pieces of chicken feces, and his handsome black face does not need to be smeared.
, and took a seat with the beggar.
As soon as he walked forward, the dozens of subordinates also dispersed, forming groups of two or three, and walked slowly towards the city gate.
Of course, just in case, no one brought weapons with them. This is what Cheng said: there are no guns or cannons, the enemy made them for us. With their skills, they have to go bare-handed and steal the weapons of a few ordinary soldiers.
It's not that difficult when you think about it.
The sun, especially since it's so high up, isn't too hot, and it's extremely comfortable when it hits your body.
"You're a stinker. We're already at war. Why are you running around?"
As soon as Xu Lang arrived at the gate of the city, the soldiers guarding the city scolded him.
"Hee hee, hee hee!"
Xu Lang deliberately pretended to be stupid, smiled naively, and took a step closer to him.
Like him, to be honest, these sergeants would see several of them in a day no matter what. Now that the fierce fighting was going on in the front, their northern suburban city was the most leisurely place. Therefore, it was not surprising.
