Chapter 481 The Eyes of the Grass Man

The messenger repeated Dou Jiande's words in its original form, without adding more or missing a word, which was of great importance. The messenger did not want to bear any responsibility for this. According to Dou Jiande's arrangement, he ordered Su Dingfang to attack Yuncheng today and must conquer Yuncheng within three days, because he would personally lead the army to attack Yanyunzhai, Juyeze, and conquer Yuncheng, so the army would not have to worry about threats on the flanks. After Su Dingfang conquered Yuncheng, he stationed on the spot and supported the army led by Dou Jiande.

There was no problem with this order, and Su Dingfang even felt that he should be happy. But for some reason, he always had a vague worry in his heart. His vanguard battalion was only responsible for attacking Yuncheng and did not participate in the attack of Juyeze Yanyun Village. In any case, it was much easier and simpler than attacking Juyeze. Juyeze is the world's best place to defend and difficult to attack. Under strong attacks, the losses will inevitably be extremely heavy. Although Yuncheng was once the governor of Dongping County and Yanyun Village repaired and reinforced its city defense after conquering it, it was still just a small city.

The walls of Yuncheng are less than two feet long, and there are no terrifying crossbows on the walls, no horse faces are built, and there are not many arrow towers. Su Dingfang has 15,000 combat soldiers, plus auxiliary soldiers and civilians, with nearly 20,000 troops. It is definitely not difficult to conquer Yuncheng.

Even if Dou Jiande had more than 80,000 combat soldiers and more than 20,000 auxiliary soldiers at the attack of Juyeze, he still had little chance of winning.

Su Dingfang could not speculate on the special significance of Dou Jiande's arrangement, but he felt inexplicably frightened. He had already thought about it before that he planned to conquer Yuncheng without Dou Jiande's order. After the victory, he quickly retreated northward, making the people of Yanyun Village unable to understand the routine. However, after Dou Jiande's order arrived, he hesitated a little.

After summoning his generals to discuss for half a day, everyone also felt that attacking Yuncheng was much better than attacking Juyeze. Since the lord had made such arrangements, it was just right for everyone to think.

"Prepare the troops and stop moving after taking Yuncheng!"

Don’t think about Du Li and say, “Since the lord let our Pioneer Battalion be only responsible for the support, this is definitely not a bad thing for our Pioneer Battalion. Why not do it? After capturing Yuncheng, you will not move. If the lord’s side goes well, you naturally don’t have to join in the fun. If it is not going well… Let’s ensure that the lord’s army is worry-free, and the lord can’t blame us. After all, this is something he arranged by himself.”

"You think it's easy!"

General Lang Ren Dongcheng said angrily: "If the attack on the lord is frustrated and the troops are consumed severely, our vanguard camp will be transferred in the first time! Do you think you can escape? Dreaming, let's talk about it, the lord's military order says that we must conquer Yuncheng within three days. Why have you considered it so anxious?"

"Why?"

Du Li asked subconsciously.

"Pioneer Camp.Pioneer Camp!"

General Ren Dongcheng, Lang general, shouted in a low voice: "When have you seen it? The Pioneer Camp has been transferred to the back team? The lord's meaning is obvious. He asked us to attack Yuncheng first, but why did we feel guilty about conquering Yuncheng for three days? The lord's army will only take three days to arrive at Yuncheng at the normal marching speed! I'm afraid that after we captured Yuncheng, the lord's army will arrive, and then the lord's troops will immediately continue to attack Juyeze. Do you really think the lord will let the lord's camp go to the rear of the lord's camp?"

"ah?"

Du Li was surprised and said embarrassedly: "What do you mean is the lord using us as a knife?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Su Dingfang rebuked and said, "The Pioneer Camp is originally a knife, the sharpest knife in the lord's hand. If this is not the case, what's the use of the Pioneer Camp? Besides, the lord's orders have been made in the Gregorian calendar. When did he use military orders as a joke?"

Seeing that the general expressed his opinion, Su Dingfang's men did not dare to say anything arrogantly.

Among them, Su Lei, Ren Dongcheng and others were Su Dingfang's most confidant people, so they naturally knew why Su Dingfang didn't let them continue. After all, the Pioneer Battalion was a team that had only taken over not long ago. Who knew how many people in the army were the spies that King Xia had inserted into? Today, these words could be heard in a few days. King Xia's temperament has changed drastically in recent days, and several former confidant generals were imprisoned by him. Who dares to get into trouble at this time?

When Ren Dongcheng thought of this, he felt a little regretful that he said what he had just said.

He subconsciously looked at Su Dingfang, but saw that the general's face was not displeased.

"Dongcheng!"

He was looking over, and Su Dingfang also looked over and called him.

"Please give orders to the general!"

Ren Dongcheng stood up and said.

"The lord's military order cannot be delayed. You must take down Yuncheng. You personally bring 5,000 troops and will attack the city tomorrow morning. I have seen it myself. The wall of Yuncheng's west gate is the lowest and there is no wolf teeth to be arranged. You can lead the troops up. The lord is originally rushing to the front, so you can't let the lord underestimate us. The lord will take down Yuncheng in one day for three days, so that the people in Yanyun Village can see what soldiers are called!"

"Here!"

Ren Dongcheng stood solemnly and responded loudly.

Su Dingfang nodded, and his eyes swept across everyone were a little complicated. He comforted himself in his heart and said that if the lord really had no other arrangements, garrisoning in Yuncheng would be a good choice.

...

...

In an abandoned small temple in Yuncheng, several Yanyun Village soldiers dressed in one after another, leaving one person watching the wind at the door, and the others went straight in to gather in the backyard of the small temple.

Seeing that their outfits were exactly the same as those of the Yanyun Army soldiers guarding the city, they were spies sent by Dou Jiande to Yanyun Army a few months ago. Not long after they arrived in Yanyun Village, they happened to have a secret spy from the Yanyun Village Army Inspection Office to thoroughly investigate the violations of the army. They did not dare to do anything. This time they happened to go to Yuncheng with the army and knew that they finally had the opportunity to make achievements.

A while ago, secret spies from the Military Archives found that many spies sent by various rebel troops to Yanyun Village were found, and most of them were directly chopped off. After several months of fear, they were lucky to be not caught, which made them feel very grateful. The Military Archives in Yanyun Village and the Wagang Village sentry camp have always been the nightmare of the spies. They can survive the cleaning, which has to be said to be the favor of the goddess of luck.

The leader of the Xia army spy was named Meng Si, who was Dou Jiande's fellow townsman. He was also proud of this. Although Dou Jiande had long forgotten him, he still felt that he was superior. This time he went south to invade Yanyun's army, which was to accept the suggestion of Song Zhengben. Dou Jiande had no idea that there was another fellow townsman among the sent people.

However, Dou Jiande didn't know, but the general assigned the task knew, so Meng Si became the leader of these people. But it has to be said that this person is indeed very cautious in his behavior.

"General Su Dingfang's men are less than twenty miles outside the city. He may have to attack the city one day. Since we have arrived in Yuncheng, we naturally cannot pretend to be a turtle."

Meng Si glanced at several of his men and said in a deep voice: "When I was taking turns on the city wall these days, I could see our Daxia scouts coming to investigate, but the scouts couldn't enter the city, so naturally they didn't know the details in Yuncheng. General Su Dingfang had not attacked for a long time, so he must have not figured out how many defenders there were in Yuncheng. The general didn't know, we know!"

Meng Si paused for a moment and said, "There are no more than 2,000 people coming out of Juyeze to guard Yuncheng, but there are many grass men in the city walls as suspicious soldiers. The scouts of our Daxia cannot see clearly from afar, and they will inevitably think that there are many defenders in Yuncheng. We must find a way to spread this news. As long as General Su Dingfang knows that Yuncheng City has an empty air defense, he will attack immediately!"

"What are we going to come south to share the worries of King Xia and to build a good future for ourselves! If we assist General Su Dingfang in conquering Yuncheng, will your and my contribution be small?"

He whispered: "The civil servants and people in Yuncheng have already retreated. When we entered the city, we could see clearly that even the county government was empty. Li Xian clearly lacked military strength, so he had to come up with such a way."

"But, voyage, how can we send the news?"

His subordinate Wang Xue said depressedly: "All four gates have been sealed, we can't get out at all!"

"Idiot, if you can't get out of the city gate, you won't think of any other way?"

Meng Si said: "I am on duty tonight. I will find a way to bring you a few of you and prepare the ropes. Today, Wang Xue, we will use ropes to pull you down from the top of the city. You will tell General Su Dingfang the truth in Yuncheng!"

"ah?"

Wang Xue was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "I... am afraid of heights."

"Okay, stay, I will go out of the city myself. At that time, General Su Dingfang will attack the city. Be careful in the chaos army, don't be killed by our people by chance. In the chaos, no one can tell that we are our own people!"

"That... Lusheng, I have already decided to go out of the city. Although my subordinates are afraid of high, they want to serve King Xia even more. Not to mention high, so what if they die?"

Wang Xue stood up, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Lu Rui, I will definitely complete your explanation."

Meng Si and others looked at him with a sarcastic smile on their faces.

...

...

At the time of the sequel, except for the occasional footsteps of the patrol team passing by, the city wall seemed extremely quiet. According to the order of General Luo Fu, who was guarding Yuncheng, a straw man was placed every three steps on the city wall, and there was only one soldier among every three straw man. The soldiers under General Luo Fu knew that the general did this out of helplessness and was seriously insufficient in military strength. Only two thousand people were drawn to guard Yuncheng. How could he stop Dou Jiande's army?

Before they followed General Luo Fu to Yuncheng, Yuncheng had been emptied. The people and the officials of the county government had withdrawn from Juyeze. The two thousand people seemed to have become an isolated army. This feeling made people very uneasy.

Meng Si took the turn tonight. He used the excuse of asking someone to help re-arrange the straw men and brought a few subordinates to the city wall. During the day, there were more defenders on the city wall, and there were one soldier among every three straw men. At night, there were even fewer defenders on the city wall, and most of them went down to rest, so few people saw Meng Si and others on the city wall.

Because the location of the straw man was constantly changing, he couldn't say anything when he asked someone to help him move. After midnight, Meng Si checked that there were no outsiders around him, and immediately took out the rope hidden in the straw man with a few subordinates, and tied Wang Xue's waist to move him down. The wall of Yuncheng was less than two meters long, and soon Wang Xue arrived at the city. After cutting the rope with a dagger, he immediately rushed into the thick night and rushed out to the direction of Su Dingfang's army camp.

Meng Si watched Wang Xue disappear into the night, and he smiled proudly, and then asked his subordinates to pull up the rope and put it away. Several people discussed in a very low voice how to find a way to open the city gate when Su Dingfang's army attacked the city. If General Su Dingfang could be successfully brought into the city, they would not be able to get the brigade leader in terms of military merits. Meng Si even felt that it would not be very difficult for him to be promoted to another general.

I am a fellow villager of King Xia, and I have made great contributions!

Meng Si was proudly thinking, what happened to the fifth-ranked other general, I will become the champion general sooner or later!

But he didn't notice that a straw man not far away suddenly moved slightly, and the straw man's head turned slightly, as if he was looking at his back. In the quiet late night, under the dim moonlight, it seemed to be particularly strange and terrifying. There seemed to be a gloomy gaze flashing from the grass man's eyes. The eyes were colder than the cold moonlight, with murderous intent. But how could the straw man have eyes?
