Chapter 431: Catching the Turtle in the Urn (Part 2)
The effect of Jin Chongwu's run was beyond his expectations. Most of the soldiers who went out of the city to attack with him were killed. According to the plan, he had to return to Qingzhou City as soon as possible, but he finally underestimated his enemies.
Xuan Shaoning followed Jin Chongwu closely. With this move, he led the entire army of the Rut Guards. They actually stepped up and left behind the light-fitting horses. When Jin Chongwu crossed the ambush circle, there would be a rain of arrows on the top of the city immediately, one round after another, at least the leader of the Rut Guards could be shot down.
When he thought of this, Jin Chongwu couldn't help but look back. He saw Xuan Shaoning following him all the time. At this time, he was a little worried about Xuan Shaoning. If he was really caught off guard, Xuan Shaoning would undoubtedly be the first target of being attacked by feather arrows. Jin Chongwu's thoughts turned and he tried hard to wield the reins to speed up the speed. As a result, Xuan Shaoning had to drive away the horse and accelerate the pursuit. As long as he could cross the ambush circle with Jin Chongwu, he would be safe temporarily.
Without looking back, Jin Chongwu could tell that Xuan Shaoning had crossed the ambush circle by just his ears. Now he was relieved. It is said that kindness to the enemy is cruel to himself, but Jin Chongwu didn't believe it. He liked Xuan Shaoning's character, and even if he wanted him to die, he had to die in battle at his Jin Chongwu.
Before the satisfaction had passed, Jin Chongwu discovered something bad. The feather arrow did not shoot down as expected! What's going on? Jin Chongwu couldn't help but look up at the head of the city. At this time, there were indeed no guardians on the head of the city. At the same time, what he could hear was the faint shouting coming from the city.
This time, the traitor was really tested! Jin Chongwu couldn't help but feel nervous. This was originally part of his plan, but the development of the matter was beyond his expectations. If Yan was a traitor in the city, then he could just rightly eliminate all the Su Nan army and take this opportunity to be promoted to Tuorong; if Yin Wanwan was a traitor, he would feel a little unbearable from the bottom of his heart, but Yin Lingqi has always been against Wu Wei and should have died. Yin Wanwan is Yin Lingqi's only successor. If she is not eliminated, that kind of straitor army will be an unstable factor.
"Wangwan, don't be you!" Jin Chongwu's hand holding the reins couldn't help but tremble. He was eager to solve the mystery. The reality is that no matter how urgent Jin Chongwu was, the situation was a little out of his control. Without the garrison on the city wall, it would not only not cause any harm to the pursuers behind him, but it could not even be able to open the city gate.
Seeing that the city gate was getting closer and closer, if no one came to open the door, then Jin Chongwu would have really trapped himself in. There were tens of thousands of people behind him, and fighting against him was simply seeking death! Thinking of this, Jin Chongwu began to be afraid. When death really faced, no one could completely ignore it, even the generals who fought on the battlefield.
Xuan Shaoning had a different mentality in his heart. After waking up from the night attack one hour ago, he realized that Jin Chongwu was just bluffing, with the purpose of attracting them to go out of the camp to pursue him. There is only one route that Jin Chongwu can take, which is to return to Qingzhou City. What other intentions can he do? Isn’t it just to lure the Rust Claw Guard into the hook and step into his ambush circle?
Xuan Shaoning followed Jin Chongwu closely, holding the horse's reins with one hand, and shaking it back three times with the other hand to clench his fists as a summary. The soldiers who saw this gesture immediately stopped their horses and separated into two rows to deviate from the city gate.
Run over and look for an opportunity to turn the horse's head and look for new fighter opportunities.
Xiang Ang understood the danger outside Qingzhou City. He looked at Xuan Shaoning alone and was thinking about how to set up a formation to face the powerful enemy and help him, the city gate opened from the inside. The city gate opened! This was something that no one expected, including Rust Jade, Xuan Shaoning, and even Jin Chongwu.
When the door opened, no feather arrows shot down from the city. Xuan Shaoning couldn't help but feel a stern. It seemed that he was thinking too much. Jin Chongwu didn't ambush the heavy troops near the city gate at all. This guy was considered open and honest. But he didn't ambush outside the city. Could it be that he was ambushing the city? Otherwise, wouldn't he have nothing to do if he took a group of people out of the city to attack at night? At this time, Xuan Shaoning and Jin Chongwu were already near the city gate, and the speed of the war horses could not be reduced, so they were destined to enter the city.
Chongwu was in tears. He originally wanted to kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he attracted Rust Jade to fall into the trap, and on the other hand, he tried Yin Wanwan and Yan as scheduled. But now the enemy was attracted by him, but where was the ambush? There was also the sound of fighting in the city that the two armies had to start a war. Who among them was on their side? They were about to enter the city, and even one of them didn't see one of their own people. Jin Chongwu didn't know how to deal with it next.
Xiang Ang was also confused. He believed Xuan Shaoning's judgment before. He originally agreed with Yan as scheduled to send out a signal once the city took action, but he did not receive any signal until now. Unfortunately, Jin Chongwu, as a general guarding Qingzhou, took the initiative to leave the city to provoke during the night, and the battle could not be stopped at the beginning. Seeing Xuan Shaoning chasing Jin Chongwu, Xiang Ang had to lead the army to set off. The expected ambush did not appear, and even the city gate was opened on its own initiative. What kind of tactic is this? Xiang Ang didn't know whether to advance or retreat at this time.
Don't blame them for not being able to guess clearly. Even the army in the city who was already in battle did not know what kind of war this was. The army in the city was divided into two parts, and the one with the advantage of the number of people was under Jin Chongwu, and the other part was brought by Yin Wanwan. Among these two parts of the army, Yin Wanwan's own army naturally obeyed her orders, but it was hard to say that Jin Chongwu's subordinates were not convinced. They were not convinced by Yin Wanwan, but due to historical reasons, they trusted Yan more as scheduled, so they hesitated to Yan's order to evacuate the city as scheduled.
Jin Chongwu's subordinates failed to wait for the commander to return in time. The tricky thing they encountered immediately was that Yin Wanwan and Yan started working as scheduled. The army behind them also started fighting, which was difficult to resolve for a while. Poor, these soldiers of the Imperial Army didn't know who to help, but at this time one person jumped out.
"Why are you still standing there?" Sun Jincheng shouted at the top of his voice: "Yin Wanwan's defeat is simply a defeated general! Yan is a Liang person as expected, and he must have wanted to take the opportunity to usurp power. Both of them have no good intentions! You should act quickly and eliminate both sides of them together!"
"Is Lord Tuorong a native of Liang? Are you still a native of Liang!" A soldier scoffed at Sun Jincheng. This sentence also made Sun Jincheng lose his temper, but his face had been tempered enough, and he directly retorted "You are just a life-long dog in Tang! I am the real hero of Tang Dongliang's future abandoning the dark and turning to the light!"
Even if Sun Jincheng jumped like this, almost all the soldiers of the Imperial Army would not pay attention to him. If it weren't for Jin Chongwu's order to keep this person's life, they would have been
I wanted to go forward and chop him into meat sauce with one knife.
Sun Jincheng was unwilling to give up. Jin Chongwu was not there, which was his best chance to fight back, so he jumped directly to the bell tower of the general's mansion, pushed him downstairs while the guard general was not paying attention, and began to grab the wooden and hit the bronze bell desperately.
This bell tower, which was originally set up in the governor's mansion, is to alert him. Once the bronze bell is ringed, it will send a message to the soldiers and civilians in Qingzhou City: Foreign enemies invade!
Due to the addition of fuel to Sun Jincheng's fire, the bronze bell kept ringing, pouring a basin of cold water on the people of Qingzhou who had woken up from their sleep. They immediately woke up. Qingzhou had been seized by the Tang Dynasty. Although their days have not been greatly affected this year, they were Liang people after all, and bloody men could not stand the oppression of the Tang people, but they were suffering from the opportunity to resist. The sound of the bronze bell in the middle of the night was a signal that the Liang army began to attack Qingzhou!
Yin Wanwan and Yan Ruyi fought for half an hour and took a lot of effort to separate. Both of them were injured, but fortunately they would not endanger their lives for the time being. Both of them heard the sound of the bronze bell, and their expressions were different: Yin Wanwan was stunned at first, and then they understood that she firmly believed that it must be Jin Chongwu who had returned and found the rebels in the army, so they rang the bronze bell to order the entire army to wipe out. Yan Ruyi's face was gloomy. He had not sent a signal as agreed before, and then he was entangled by Yin Wanwan and could not make any moves. He originally believed in the ability of the Jingyi army, but he knew that so many of them could not stop Jin Chongwu.
"It depends on when you can pretend!" Yin Wanwan asked, with pride in his words. "Once the army comes back, your men are no match for you! Yan Ruyi's death is here, and I will use your hair to wash away my father's stigma!"
"A woman is a woman after all! She is just a bronze bell, so you are proud? Do you believe that I can take your life before Jin Chongwu arrives! Let alone wash away Yin Lingqi's stigma?"
The result of the two of them not giving in was that they continued to fight, and the two armies did not stop. The key figures in the real incident were also confused at this time. Jin Chongwu rushed into the city safely, but he could not stop Xuan Shaoning from following in. He heard the bronze bell when he first entered the city. Jin Chongwu couldn't believe his ears. He had orders first - no one was allowed to approach the bell tower at will.
Who is it?! Who dares to break my military order and ring the bronze bell without authorization! Jin Chongwu was furious and came to cause trouble for him at this time. He wanted to remove this person from the top of the city! After entering the city, he did not see anyone on the top of the city. A urn was empty. What happened to these subordinates? There was no trace of battle in the place where they could see them.
"Although I don't understand what tricks you are playing, but now we are the two of us. You have your army behind you and Jingyi's army behind me. How about it, Jin Chongwu?"
"This is the first time I heard you call my name so seriously." Jin Chongwu turned his horse's head and looked at Xuan Shaoning, "How can you Liang people easily understand my strategy? You are brave enough to follow me into the city alone. Could it be that you want to become my prisoner again? Of course, I will still treat you well this time."
