Chapter 16 Chapter Fifteen

The snake people have begun to gather.Looking from the top of the city, dust was flying in the snake camp a mile away.After a rain, it is not likely to raise dust, but there is so much dust, I am afraid that the assembled snake people have already gathered the snake people from the two gates in the northwest. I couldn't hold back any longer, and after I tied up the ropes pulling the suspension bridge, I rushed to Marquis Wu, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty..." He looked at me and shouted: "General Chu, get up! What's the name of the knife on your waist?" "The name of the sword is hundreds of times."

"The name of the sword is hundreds of times, and it should be used for all emotions. You are a soldier, and you can only be ruthless and ruthless on the battlefield." I was so drunk by Marquis Wu that I couldn't hold my head up.Standing up slowly, I saw that the snake man in the distance had already started to march down the city. Marquis Wu deliberately let the traitor release the news in order to eliminate Duke Cang Yue, right?But to do so would be too treacherous.At the meeting, Marquis Wu once swore that his safety rested with Marquis Wu, and that he would throw Duke Cang Yue's entire army to the Snake Man in the blink of an eye.Even if Mr. Cang Yue's crime is unforgivable, I still can't bear it.

At this time, Marquis Wu's voice became calmer, and he said: "General Chu, you go and guard your post. You know, there is absolutely no room for soft-heartedness in battle." I had just returned to my side when a horse from outside the city galloped towards the city gate.That was Cang Yuegong, he was at the front of the battalion, probably he rushed over immediately after the Republican army reported the news about him.When he reached the moat, he reined in his mount and shouted, "Tang Shengtai! What do you mean?" Is Marquis Wu called Tang Shengtai?I never even knew.Everyone in the imperial army called him a prince, who dared to call him by his name?Perhaps, in Wuhou's own heart, this name has also been forgotten.He leaned out half of his body from the top of the wall, and said, "Cang Yue, you're going to kill yourself, why don't you still talk hard?"

Cang Yuegong was shocked all over on the horse, and said: "How can I kill myself? What do you mean by that?" Marquis Wu looked up to the sky with a smile, and said: "You have long had the will to die, and you want to lead the snake people into the city in the name of opening the way with five thousand troops, in an attempt to annihilate my entire army. Do you think you have concealed it well? But you don't know As soon as you offered me this time, someone told me your details." Most of the withdrawal route was suggested by Lord Cang Yue, so we can probably guess it.But what Duke Cang Yue actually thought was this idea?I trembled all over, and looked at Jin Qianshi and the others standing beside me, and they all shivered too.

If Cang Yuegong really has this intention, then when the snake people attack, he only needs to use these five thousand soldiers to block the city gate, so that we can't pull up the suspension bridge and close the city gate, and the snake people will rush in like a tide. enter.At that time, where in the city can we still defend? The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and I waited until I didn't believe it, but I saw that the complexion of Cang Yuegong under the city turned completely pale, and he was speechless. That is true! Marquis Wu was still saying: "You can hide this from Lu Jingyu, but you can't hide it from me. You don't have to think about how to leak this news. There is no impenetrable wall for everything in the world."

At this time, two officers in the Republican Army suddenly kicked off their saddles, knelt by the moat, and shouted to the city: "My lord, that was the idea of ​​Cang Yue's rebels. We don't know at all. My lord, you Let us enter the city, we are willing to join the imperial army and serve the empire to the death." They kept talking, but I knew it would never do anything.Marquis Wu said: "Cang Yue, you are hiding the truth from your subordinates. You created the republic, claiming that everything is for the people, and sent these 5,000 people to death, but was it also for them? Using the power of a different kind to kill the same people is also called Everything for the people? Heh heh, you killed the five thousand people."

Cang Yuegong lowered his head and said nothing. Suddenly, Yiqi rushed straight from the camp.This man was holding a saber in his hand, and when he got to Cang Yuegong's side, he shouted: "Rebel!" His roar was extremely loud, but now he didn't know who to call.When he reached Cang Yuegong's side, he swung his saber, the light of the saber flashed by, and the two kneeling Republican soldiers were immediately decapitated.The long knife passed by, and two pillars of blood sprayed up and sprinkled all over the ground. The man said: "Grand Duke! We are willing to fight to the death for the Grand Duke, please issue an order, and we will attack the city!"

If they turn around and attack the city, it is naturally impossible to attack.But the snake people are rushing over, I'm afraid our defense of the city will be extremely difficult, and the five thousand republican army will be attacked by the enemy, and they will die in a blink of an eye.I was a little apprehensive when I heard the sound of thunder and drums resounding from the top of the city: "The rebels are attacking the city, all the troops are ready, there must be no mistakes!" At this moment, Duke Cang Yue raised his head suddenly, and raised his voice: "Our army obeys the order. Those who wish to escape should immediately go around the city to escape, and are not allowed to attack the city."

Is he going to fight the snake man to the death?Of course, this is not to claim credit for repelling the snake man by chance, even if he can repel the snake man, Marquis Wu will also send troops to kill the rest outside the city.He did this, maybe he just didn't want to kill each other.There was silence in the Republican army, and suddenly a loud roar broke out: "I am willing to die for the Grand Duke!" Marquis Wu said again at this time: "Cang Yue, may you die like a man, and I will do it for you." He took out an iron flute from his pocket, and blew the murderous "Horse Immediately".The sound of the flute is loud and clear, like a long sword piercing into the sky.Cang Yuegong arched his hands and said: "Tang Shengtai, today I died in battle, and in the future, you will also die by the sword."

Marquis Wu didn't answer him, but just played the song "Immediately Heng Ge".Even if you just listen to it, you can still feel that the sword is full of gold and iron horses.Cang Yue shouted: "A good man of the Republic, follow me!" He galloped forward, and the flag bearer of the Republican army followed closely behind him.Someone in the Republican Army sang loudly the funeral song of the Republican Army: The pride soars to the sky, look up, How vast are the mountains and rivers, good man, Don't be afraid of being buried in Qingshan. Immediately, almost everyone in the 5,000 Republican Army was singing loudly, and the singing resounded through the sky, drowning out the sound of Marquis Wu's flute.The fundus of my eyes was sore, and unconsciously, the eye sockets were also a little moist.

That's my mother-in-law again, right?However, I was a little surprised to find that Marquis Wu moved the iron flute away from his lips, and gently wiped his eye sockets with his right hand. No matter what Cang Yuegong's plans were, he did not lose his dignity in seeing death like home in the end. At this time, the vanguard of the Republican Army had started to engage the Snake Man four hundred paces away from the city.The sound of killing was loud, and most of the Republicans hadn't eaten for a long time. Perhaps it was the determination to die that broke out such strength. For a while, the two armies were entangled in one place, and the dust and smoke billowed, and it was almost impossible to see what was inside. look. The snake man was still rushing out of the camp.It must have been the Snakeman army from other sects who came to reinforce them.Not long after, the funeral song of the Republican Army gradually weakened, but the flag of the Republican Army was still dancing in the smoke and never fell down. On the ground, blood flowed like a river, and even flowed hundreds of steps, some of which flowed into the moat. The five thousand republican army has been wiped out, right? Marquis Wu was still standing like an iron pillar, holding on to the battlements with one hand.At this time, a messenger said: "Your Majesty, General Lu, please see me!" Marquis Wu raised his head, Lu Jingyu had already rushed to the city.He must have rushed here in a hurry, he was out of breath, and when he got in front of Marquis Wu, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, why didn't you save Duke Cang Yue?" Marquis Wu looked at him, sighed and said, "Jing Yu, you are still too soft-hearted." Lu Jingyu said: "What happened? Why are the Republicans only allowed to fight the Snakeman outside the city?" Marquis Wu didn't look at him again, a guard beside him said: "General Lu, Cang Yue vainly tried to use his own army as bait to lure the snake men into the city. His plot was seen through by the Marquis, and he was desperate at this time, so he had to take it alone. war." Lu Jingyu knelt like a puppet, and seemed to be stunned by these words.Marquis Wu said: "Jingyu, you have a lot of strangers, but you still believe in them. If you don't get rid of this disease, you will never become a famous general in your life." Lu Jingyu suddenly choked with sobs and said: "Your Majesty, Jing Yu will die. It is not yet known whether this matter is true or not. Please think carefully about it, and don't listen to one side's words." Marquis Wu shouted: "Jingyu, are you still obsessed with your obsession? Get up! Leaving one's post without authorization is a serious crime." He looked at the Republican Army who was fighting the final battle with the Snakeman, and sighed: "If this matter gets out, I'm afraid there will never be peace in the southern border. Cang Yue, you are really good, even if you die, you still want to buy people's hearts." I'm stunned again.Could it be that Cang Yue attacked the Snake Army instead of the city because he couldn't bear the cannibalism of his own kind, but used his own death to buy people's hearts for the Republican Army?Indeed, if he is really willing to join hands with us to fight against the Snake Man, he shouldn't have made such a bitter plan.He probably knew he was going to die. If he fought back to attack the city and died, he would get some praise at most, but dying to a snake man would bring all the people in southern Xinjiang to their hearts.When people in southern Xinjiang heard the news, they would most likely sympathize with the Republican Army.At that time, I am afraid that there will be more wars and troubles, and it will be even more difficult for us to wipe out the remnants of the Republican Army. However, listening to the gradually thinning singing over there, apart from admiring Cang Yuegong's foresight and foresight after knowing his true intentions, I was more just panicked, but I still couldn't hate Cang Yuegong.At this time, even though I know that if I escape one, it will be more difficult to pacify southern Xinjiang in the future, I just hope that I can escape a few more Republicans. Cang Yuegong's death is still a bitter plan.It's just that he probably thinks too much about the imperial army. It's still unknown whether we can return to the capital today. To pacify the southern border is probably an empty talk that is out of reach. At this time, the flag of the Republican Army finally fell down, and the dust gradually dispersed.Looking from a distance, corpses are strewn all over the field, and there are corpses of soldiers and horses of the Republican Army everywhere.Although we stayed out of the way, we still watched thrillingly. Some soldiers of the Imperial Army even hummed the funeral song of the Republican Army in a low voice. Marquis Wu's face also seemed to be much older.Lu Jingyu knelt on one side without saying a word.At this time, it is useless for Marquis Wu to change his mind.I looked at Lu Jingyu who was kneeling straight, but I had more doubts in my heart, and I secretly organized my thoughts. What kind of character is Zheng Zhao?According to Marquis Wu's words, he must have informed Marquis Wu of Cang Yuegong's tricks.But he was brought by Lu Jingyu, why didn't he tell Lu Jingyu?If Lu Jingyu didn't bring Cang Yue back, wouldn't there be troubles? Who the hell is he?I can't help feeling even more chilly.He would never claim to be as simple as finding Bai Wei's whereabouts. Moreover, he claimed to be a low-level officer in the Republican Army, and Bai Wei was the daughter of Duan Hairuo, one of the Seven Heavenly Generals. If he was really a low-level officer, then How did you know Bai Wei? The more I think about it, the more suspicious I become, but now that he is gone, I'm afraid I won't be able to see this person again in the future.I couldn't help but regret for a while, I really shouldn't have let him go so easily. At this time, Marquis Wu said: "Jingyu, you should quickly return to the defense area and prepare your squadron." Lu Jingyu raised his head and said, "Your Majesty..." He seemed to have a belly full of words to say, but he couldn't come out when it came to his mouth.Marquis Wu sighed, and said: "Go back, we will discuss the class teacher tomorrow." Lu Jingyu stood up, and the battle armor on his body made a soft sound.He bowed to Marquis Wu and went down to the city. Even though we knew that he had fallen for Cang Yue's trick, we still silently saluted him when he walked past us. Cang Yue's final death in battle made us feel a little bit of respect.Lu Jingyu's scheming also took away a lot of his divine brilliance, but we respect him even more. It is a kind of luck for a hero to be born in this turbulent era.However, in this era of heroes, aren't those innocent people too unfortunate?The times are in the hands of heroes, and between offensive and defensive killings, those ordinary people can only become the cornerstone of heroes' achievements, and even individuals cannot be counted.Cang Yue was setting the time for this bitter meat, did she ever think that his 5,000 troops would all be his sacrifices?In order to break his bitter scheme, Marquis Wu also regarded these five thousand people as dust that could be wiped away at any time. That's right, a Lu Jingyu who is not a hero is what this era needs. Looking at Lu Jingyu's back, I was at a loss for a while. At this time, Marquis Wu shouted: "General Chu!" I was startled, walked up to him, knelt down and said, "The last general is here." "You follow me to the Chinese army." Don't you need to guard here?What could be more important than fending off the snake people?I didn't dare to ask, I just said: "The last general obeys orders." Marquis Wu went down.I waved my hand and followed behind him with the Dragon Scale Army.After getting out of the city, Marquis Wu got on his horse and respectfully said to Lu who had dismounted beside his horse and saluted him: "General Qianfeng Yinglu, you are fully responsible for this place. If the snake men dare to attack the city, you must defeat them." .” Marquis Wu assigned all the generals to defend the city, and he turned to me and said, "General Chu, mount your horse quickly." What does Marquis Wu have to do?I looked at the back of Marquis Wu on the horse, and I was even more at a loss.I don't know what Marquis Wu wants to do, but most of the strategies he set up are correct.In any case, Cang Yue has truly died in battle, and a hidden danger has disappeared, so the most important thing now is how to retreat.But the snake man was outside the city, and he was about to attack again when he saw it, so why didn't Marquis Wu come to the front line to command?This is very abnormal. Marquis Wu's horse was at the front, and only his two inseparable soldiers, Big Eagle and Little Eagle, followed closely behind.I suddenly realized that not all of Marquis Wu's personal troops were with me. Although Marquis Wu's personal soldiers did not follow Marquis Wu closely like big eagles and small eagles, when Marquis Wu went out, he would definitely follow him. Since the army marched south, only two soldiers have been killed in battle, and there are still nearly a hundred of them. However, there were only seventy or eighty people who followed Marquis Wu. When he was approaching the Chinese army, the soldier next to Marquis Wu, who didn't know whether it was a big eagle or a young eagle, suddenly patted his horse and quickened his pace, caught up with Marquis Wu and said, "Your Majesty, there seems to be something wrong." Marquis Wu turned his head and said, "What's wrong?" "The smell of blood is heavy." Bloody smell?I sniffed the air, but couldn't smell anything.Just thinking about whether the big eagle or the little eagle is a bit too allergic, Wuhou said: "Little Ying, do you smell right?" "That's right, the smell of blood is very fresh, and he died just now." Marquis Wu turned to us and said, "Everyone, be extremely careful, lest the situation change." I'm a little baffled, I don't know what Marquis Wu means by being careful.At this time, he had already arrived at Marquis Wu's tent, but Marquis Wu didn't dismount, but said to the two soldiers guarding the tent, "Who's passing by?" Those two soldiers were bowing on the ground, when they heard Marquis Wu's question, one raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, there is no one." "No one passed the door?" The soldier said: "No." Marquis Wu jumped off his horse, turned around and said, "Knives and guns are out of their sheaths, be careful, the traitor is in the army!" I woke up with a start.Marquis Wu was here to capture the traitor!No wonder the big eagle at the top of the city once came to report, saying that "it really is him".This traitor is in the camp of the Chinese army, is it really Gao Tie Chong?None of them joined the army on the front line.But if you want to capture him, why do you need such a big force? I jumped on the horse, rushed forward and said, "Your Majesty, who are we going to catch?" Marquis Wu snorted and said, "Gaotie Chong!" My body trembled involuntarily.Although I was already suspicious of him, I was still involuntarily shocked when it came out of Marquis Wu's mouth.I said: "Your Majesty, could you be mistaken? How could Gao Canjun be a traitor?" "I didn't believe it at all, but Daying has seen him let the bird fly away. He is not a traitor. Who else?" Marquis Wu was striding forward, in front of him were a dozen of Marquis Wu's personal soldiers guarding outside a tent.Seeing Marquis Wu approaching, they all knelt down and said, "Your Majesty." "Did he not go out?" A soldier said: "No one has ever gone out." Marquis Wu snorted again, and shouted to the tent: "Gao Tie Chong, come out and see me." There was no answer in the account.I surrounded the tent with the Dragon Scale Army, and I couldn't help but admire Marquis Wu in my heart.Cang Yue wanted to use bitter tricks to lure the snake man into the city, but he didn't expect that his strategy was under the mastery of Marquis Wu from the beginning to the end, so he had to fight the snake man to the death.But Marquis Wu used him to use this double-edged strategy, that is, get rid of Cang Yuegong, and use this false news to hide Gao Tie Chong, forcing Gao Tie Chong to release birds to spread the news during the day, so that his identity was revealed. If Gao Tiechong is a traitor, I'm afraid he has sent news to the snake man several times.Birds are released in the dark, and they cannot be seen clearly, and no one knows who released them.But this time the Chinese army was all at the head of the city, and they left as soon as they said it, and the high-speed rail was rushing to report the news, so the bird could only be released during the day. Marquis Wu's strategy is one chain after another, leaving no room for people to react.It's not injustice for the high-speed rail to be defeated in the hands of Marquis Wu, right? Just as I was thinking, I don't know if it was a big eagle or a little eagle, and it was already saying to the tent: "Gao Canjun, come out quickly." Still no sound from inside.Marquis Wu nodded to me, and I hurried up to meet him, saying: "I will wait for your orders." "Go and catch the high-speed rail, you can live or die." "yes." I jumped off the horse and said, "Come with me." Jin Qianshi's Dragon Scale Army sentry followed closely behind me, and they also jumped off the horse one after another. I took off the spear from the horse and said, "Gao Canjun, come out quickly." There was no sound from inside.I stretched out my spear and opened the tent door, Jin Qianshi and the others also held spears and surrounded the tent door in a semicircle.This posture is like facing a big enemy, as if there is a snake man hidden in the tent. Is Gao Tiechong really hiding a snake man?I'm afraid not.In the Chinese military camp, no matter how well he hid, he would be discovered immediately. As soon as the tent door was opened, a man with a big hat on his head was sitting on the edge of the bed, with a short knife stuck in his chest, he had been dead for a long time. Is that the high-speed rail?I approached slowly and said, "Gao Canjun, is that you?" Gao Tie Chong is resourceful, and I know that.If he knew he couldn't escape and set up this suicide situation as a final resistance, then I would bear the brunt of it and approach rashly, which is unwise. I approached slowly, keeping the tip of the gun close to his upper body, and if the high-speed rail rushed suddenly, I would stab him in the shoulder.When Wu Zhao taught us how to use the spear, he said that it was called the Lazy Dragon Shuclaw Spear. When the tip of the spear is three feet away from a person, no matter how fast the person moves, the power of the tip of the spear cannot be dodged. The tip of the gun slowly moved closer to the high-speed iron and rushed to the big hat. Just as it touched the brim, I pressed my wrist and exerted strength with my arm, and the hat was picked up lightly and deftly. Inside, there was a pale and bloodless face, which had been dead for a long time, and it was the guard of Gao Tie Chong. High-speed rail washed away?I was startled when Jin Qianshi and another Dragon Scale Army suddenly rushed up, I didn't know what they were going to do for a while, I just felt a strong wind blowing down on my head.I looked up and saw a person rushing down, like a gust of wind, a dagger as long as a human elbow was chopping down on the top of my head. It's not the first time I've been attacked by a sneak attack, but this person's attack was silent, I didn't feel it at all just now, how can I get out of the way now?I also couldn't help being startled. At this time, the spears of Jin Qianshi and another Dragon Scale Army had stabbed from behind me. I only had time to lower my head, and I only heard a "Dang", and there was a chill on the back of my neck. When I looked up, I saw that the attacker was almost at the same time. When it fell, it retreated at the same speed, and the knife just now was blocked by Jin Qianshi and his two guns. Is this also a snake man?But even though it was dark in the tent, I could still see clearly that it was a man with two legs, relatively short, who looked like Gao Tie Chong.I retracted the gun and shouted: "Hits!" The gun was aimed at the man and fired violently. Although my throwing spear is not as good as Shen Xiping's, it's not too weak either.Once this shot was shot, the sound of the tip of the gun piercing through the air made a sharp whistling sound.Seeing that he was about to shoot the man right through, the man moved out of the way lightly and deftly, and the spear flew out through the tent without touching him at all. Good job.I can't help but admire.It's just that now he has nowhere to go, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be a match for the 300-odd dragon scale army. Jin Qianshi gave me a long gun at the side, and I took the gun in my hand and said, "Is it Gao Canjun? It's the best policy for you to abandon your weapon and surrender now, otherwise you will die without a place to die." On the top of the tent, Gao Tie Chong's face couldn't be seen clearly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.Suddenly, I found a flash of light in his hand, and then I heard the little eagle shouting: "He wants to use fire and thunder!" At that moment, I didn't know what to think.I can also see the power of Zhang Longyou's fire and thunder bombs clearly, but I didn't expect Gao Tie Chong to have it too.Or he used it to attack Marquis Wu, so what?And if it is thrown down, then we, the group of people crowded in the tent, will be dead. I shouted: "Throw the gun quickly!" Before the words fell, I threw another shot.This time, almost everyone in the tent threw their spears.The tent was not very high, so many spears were thrown at the same time, even a bug couldn't escape.I saw the fire and thunder bomb in Gao Tie Chong's hand light up. With this light, I saw five or six long spears piercing his body. In an instant, I heard a loud "boom", and the dust flew up immediately. A tent suddenly collapsed. I pulled out the Baipi knife from my waist, and rushed towards the wall of the tent.Before the person touched the wall of the tent, the knife was already half a minute away, and the tip of the knife touched the thick cloth.I swung violently, and a long gap appeared on the tent, and my body rolled over, and I fell out of the gap. At this time, the tent has fallen down.The tent was originally painted with tung oil, but when it was blown up by a fire bomb, it was immediately lit up, and Jin Qianshi's middle sentinels were all covered in the tent.I desperately shouted: "Hurry up and save people!" But the tung oil burns extremely fast. Once the tent catches fire, it will be like a volcano when it is pressed down. I can escape only because I have a hundred knives.I saw some human figures wriggling under the tent, but once they couldn't see them, how could they rush out? I pulled up a corner of the tent that hadn't been burned yet, and shouted, "Pull it up!" This is the only way.Now the tent is only burnt with tung oil on the surface, but it can still be pulled.Wu Wanling and another soldier of the Dragon Scale Army rushed over, I said: "Pull one side!" I didn't care if they could understand or not, I raised the blade of the Baipi knife up the tent cloth, and rushed forward . Thankfully, Wu Wanling understood my intentions, I rushed forward, and the tent cloth split in front of me and split to two sides.That was the result of Wu Wanling and the others pulling to both sides. He knew what I was going to do at that moment, and he was really capable.Perhaps, he also thought of this idea. I rushed forward seven or eight steps, the tent had been torn in half, and a bunch of dark people appeared in front of me, the first one was Jin Qianshi.I yelled, "Come out!" Jin Qianshi was also dizzy, and rushed out when he heard my cry.I don't know how many people Jin Qianshi brought in, he said, "General Jin, take a look, is there anyone else in there?" Before Jin Qianshi could answer me, Wu Wanling said from behind: "Including General Jin, there are nine people in total, the commander." I just counted every time I rushed out, and now I have clearly escaped eight, so there is still one inside.I was about to rush forward again, when Jin Qianshi hugged me fiercely and said, "Commander, I can't move forward!" The fire and mine bombs from the high-speed train exploded on the top of the tent. When the tent fell, the center was the thickest, and it burned first. I tore open half of the tent, because the bottom half of the tent was only covered with cloth. Tung oil is burning.In the center, it has been burnt through, and there is no way to break through it. Even if I can rush in, Wu Wanling and the others will have no way to open the tent again.I clearly knew this, but seeing the fire burning more and more vigorously, my heart ached like a knife. In order to capture Gaotie Chong, another person died! If I can catch Gao Tie Chong, I will definitely tear him to pieces.However, even if the high-speed rail rushed to him, he might not even be able to find a complete piece of meat.Seeing the fire getting bigger and bigger, I felt like tears were pouring out. Not all about the brother who was burned, I don't even know his name.I just feel that one human life is so insignificant in the midst of such brutal killings. I just hope that not one more person dies.However, now is the war. I put the knife back into its sheath, turned around and looked at Marquis Wu who was standing on the side. The fire was getting more and more fierce, but fortunately, fire prevention was also thought of when setting up the tent, so that it would not spread to other places.Through the air steamed by the fire, Marquis Wu looked awe-inspiring like a god.I stood up, walked to Marquis Wu, knelt down and said, "My lord, I will die in the end, and Gao Tiechong could not be captured." Marquis Wu just nodded and said, "Get up." He turned his head and said, "Xiaoying, go and have a look, is that Gaotie Chong?" The little eagle jumped off the horse and walked forward.He arrived at the fire, sniffed it carefully, then knelt down on one leg in front of Marquis Wu and said, "My lord, the fire is so intense that I can't tell it apart. However, there are indeed traces of high-speed iron rushing." Marquis Wu lowered his head, looked at me suddenly and said, "General Chu, can you see Gao Tiechong's true appearance?" real look?I recall.The high-speed rail was on the top of the tent just now. Due to the backlight, it could not be seen clearly from below. But when the high-speed rail ignited the fire bombs, I saw the high-speed rail for a moment. I tried my best to think about it, and said: "He looks very thin, frighteningly thin, his cheeks are tucked back, as if he has no flesh at all. Moreover, his ears are also round, and he has some short beards..." The appearance of Gaotie Chong has nothing to do with "mighty".In fact, his appearance was even a little ridiculous, like a little beast.Perhaps Gao Tiechong knew that he looked too ugly, so he often wore that big hat with green gauze around it.In fact, it doesn't matter how he looks, no matter how ugly Gao Tiechong looks, he is still a great military adviser. Marquis Wu interrupted me and said, "Is it like a mouse?" Even though I can't laugh now, Wuhou's words almost made me laugh.Although Jin Qianshi and the others had just escaped from the fire, they still couldn't help laughing.I held back my laughter and said, "Marquis Wu Mingjian, that's right." Mice and squirrels look very similar. Some people say that squirrels are giant mice, which of course makes sense.Gao Tiechong looks like a mouse instead of a mouse and tiger, just because of his appearance.Gao Tiechong's appearance didn't have the might of Shuhu at all, he looked more like a mouse, which made people laugh, even though he was probably a hundred times more dangerous than Shuhu. Marquis Wu murmured: "That's not wrong, it's him." The pile of tents was all set up now, and there were at least three corpses inside, which were emitting a scorched stench from the fire.Marquis Wu jumped off his horse, and he seemed to be talking to us, or he seemed to be muttering to himself: "When Gao Tie Chong joined the army more than ten years ago, he had a strange request that he always wear that big hat all year round, no matter who it is Can't let him take it off." Marquis Wu must have sneaked a peek at him when he wasn't paying attention.Of course it is not a sin to be ugly, Gao Tiechong is a man, does he love beauty so much?But looking at what he did, it didn't look like it. Marquis Wu said: "General Chu, let's go back to the city." He jumped on the horse, walked forward, and said to Xiaoying: "Little Ying, you take twenty people and clean up this place quickly. This matter must not be spread. If anyone asks, he will say that Gao Canjun has lived in the east gate." .” Xiaoying knelt on the ground and said: "Yes." Once the news that Gao Tiechong is a traitor gets out, it will probably have a certain impact on morale.In this southern expedition, we made suggestions along the way, and the high-speed rail made a lot of contributions.If the army knows that most of the military plans in the past were designed by an insider, they will probably feel that they have been controlled by the enemy since they left the army. I also jumped on the horse and looked at Jin Qianshi on one side. His face was also covered with dust, and his face and armor were all black.Looking at the other seven people who escaped, most of them were like this, and I'm afraid it's not much better.I wiped my face with my hand, and followed Marquis Wu forward. Not long after I left, suddenly, I felt a chill on my forehead.When I looked up, it started raining again. It's the rainy season now, but there hasn't been much rain in the past two days. There was only one rain a few days ago, and then there will be two consecutive sunny days.But today it started to rain again, and when I looked up, I saw ten thousand silver threads rushing towards my eyes from time to time, as if they came from the void. I caught some rainwater on my face and reached out to wipe it away. Back at the south gate, it was raining heavily, Marquis Wu rode ahead, and the rain hit his cloak, drawing a majestic silhouette.As soon as he arrived at the bottom of the city, Lu Gongxing had already run down from the top of the city and said, "My lord, the snake man seems to be about to take action." Marquis Wu got off his horse and ran quickly to the top of the city, and we rushed up to the city after him.Now, there are already a lot of people at the south gate, the Chinese army has the most people, the other three armies have 20,000 each, the Chinese army has 40,000, and now there are about 35,000 to 6,000, half of them are already in the city. Looking over, in the rain, the snake-man formation was slowly moving.Marquis Wu said, "Has it always been like this?" Lu Gongxing's face was very solemn, and he said: "Yes. It seems that the snake man is dispatching and seems to want to launch an unprecedented attack." Marquis Wu looked there, and suddenly said: "General Chu, I heard that you have a telescope there?" I was taken aback.Marquis Wu even knew this, maybe someone who joined the army reported it.I knelt in front of him and said, "My lord, yes. That's what Xue Gongzheng, the right soldier, can see far away, but it's not clear enough, I can only see a vague outline." Marquis Wu said: "If he can make this telescope so that he can see clearly, it will be a great thing in the army. General Chu, come and see, what is the snake man doing?" I went up and took a closer look.However, the snake people are just snake people, moving slowly one mile away. Now because of the rain, the dust has dispersed, and you can also see that the snake people have been lined up. It seems that there are more than 20,000 people.Is that Shandu's army?But although he couldn't see anything clearly, the short armor on the snake man's body was exactly divided into two colors.Green in the middle, brown on the left.The green ones are probably the army led by Shandu, while the brown ones are still increasing continuously, probably they have just been transferred from Ximen.It seems that the snake man is about to have a decisive battle with me at the south gate. I said: "The snake man seems to have put the main force here." Marquis Wu sneered and said, "Is it the main force?" He stared at the team of snake men, and said: "The most elite troops from the north gate have not been transferred at all. They imitated our old wisdom of besieging Gaojiu City, and wanted to trap us to death." I was taken aback.We have seen a lot of the tragedy of the siege, did the snake people imagine us encircling Gaojiu City for a second siege?We have been besieging for three months, but now Gaojiu City is dilapidated, I am afraid that the snake man will not have to besiege for another three months to get twice the result with half the effort.At this moment, I heard Marquis Wu murmur: "Sit back and reap the benefits, it's no wonder that you want to offer these four generals to encircle you. It turns out that it was a trap from the beginning to the end. Heh heh, Tang Shengtai, you have been a soldier all your life, and you ended up falling into this trap." The beast's trap." I am silent.Such traps cannot be avoided by humans. When we first attacked Gaojiu City, we never thought that there would be snake people appearing.At this time, Lu Gongxing said: "Your Majesty, we really don't need to entangle with them in the city. While there is no enemy in the east gate, we will go to the teacher immediately and beat them by surprise at the east gate." Marquis Wu's eyes lit up, as if moved by Lu Gongxing's words, he sat down slumped, and said, "What if the snake man has already ambushed outside the east gate?" There will be an ambush outside the east gate, I dare say.The snake man deliberately made a way out to make us suspicious. If we rashly go out through the east gate, we will definitely be ambushed. Lu Gongxing said: "Your Majesty, if you sit and wait to die, wouldn't it be even more hopeless? Even if there is an ambush outside the east gate, we will fight every step of the way, using Mr. Zhang's fire and thunder to clear the way. After the fire is cut off, the snake man will not be able to kill us in one fell swoop. Defeat them. Or be trapped in the city, food and grass will be exhausted, then it will be even more difficult to get out." Marquis Wu frowned as he looked at the snake camp outside the south gate.Lu Gongxing's words are not unreasonable, but Wuhou's words are related to the safety of the entire army. Once the decision is wrong, it will be too late to regret.He stared outside the city, unable to make up his mind for a long time. It is raining now, and it is not an easy task after the fire is cut off, and the fire cannot burn too much.But now is indeed a good opportunity to rush out of the city. At least many of the snake people have been transferred to the south gate, which is the most heavily guarded. Marquis Wu thought for a while, then stood up abruptly.I looked at his figure, not knowing what decision he was going to make.Just waiting for Marquis Wu to issue an order, there was a burst of shouting from the east.Marquis Wu suddenly walked to the east of the city wall and looked there. In the rain, only one or two hundred paces away, it becomes blurry and I can't see clearly.The south gate and the east gate are two miles apart, so it's not easy to see them at a glance. At this time, a fast horse rushed out from the rain, and the horse beat like a gust of wind until it reached the city wall. Before the rider could get off the saddle, he was already shouting: "Your Majesty! The East Gate is urgent!" Marquis Wu was taken aback, and said, "What?" "Snake people suddenly appeared at the east gate. There are tens of thousands of them. They are attacking the city gate now. General Lu is resisting with all his strength." There are also snake people in the east gate!I was taken aback, but it seemed to be expected.Snake people will never attack only three sides and leave the east side completely empty. Marquis Wu said, "How is the battle going now?" The orderly reined in the horse, which ran too fast and was still spinning around.He said loudly: "Our army suffered heavy casualties, and the situation is extremely critical." Marquis Wu frowned tightly.The left army has always been the elite of the whole army, Lu Jingyu leads the troops well, and the left soldiers have strong attack and defense power.但蛇人连番攻城，偏留着东门不攻，左军这次还是初次抵御蛇人，只怕也要吃亏。 武侯道：“路将军，楚将军，你们率本部骑军速去增援。雷鼓，你马上去向岳将军和胡将军传令，小心蛇人的攻击！” 我和路恭行答应了一声，马上冲下城去。下城时，龙鳞军井井有条，竟似比前锋营更有秩序。吴万龄整顿军纪，也初见成效啊。 我想着，跳上了马，路恭行道：“楚将军，你们先走。” 龙鳞军只有三百多人，比一千多人的前锋营要好带得多。我一声喝令，龙鳞军已全部上马，我对路恭行道：“路将军，我先走了。”拍马向东门冲去。 在马上虽然颠簸之极，我却有些微微的得意。武侯现在经常命令我和前锋营一起行动，龙鳞军的地位也已约略和前锋营相等了。 这时，吴万龄冲上来，道：“楚将军，不要赶得太急，后面有兄弟跟不上了。” 我回头一看，三百人的龙鳞军已拖得很长，毕竟，我的座骑是万里挑一的好马，以前那匹被蛇人杀了后，新换的这匹也是好马，可那些士兵的马却没有这么好，何况料草不足，不少都掉了膘。 我放慢了速度，道：“有多少人跟不上？叫他们无论如何也要加紧。” 东门的战事不知如何了，万一左军顶不住，那可大事去矣。虽觉万分不该，可我不由自主地有些幸灾乐祸。左军若不是是曾有一半人抽调到南门助守，曾有与蛇人战斗过的经验，只怕初遇之下，连冰海之龙陆经渔也要乱了方寸，敌不过蛇人了。可再想想，我这么幸灾乐祸于己又有何好处？东门失守，那时便不是左军一军的事情了。现在全军如一道万里长堤，只消有一个地方崩溃，另外的地方势必也连带着崩溃。 只是，蛇人在这时攻击，到底是什么意思？它们已埋伏了那么久，又为什么突然间出现？难道它们认为我们已不再会在东门撤退了么？ 它们也在用我们的四将合围战术！
