Chapter 559
"If I don't kill you, will I just sit there and watch you enter the city?" A Ning general came forward angrily and shouted.
"I... We are also Ning people..." As he spoke, the Feng army's face was full of tears, and he wailed: "We were forced to come by the Feng army..."
Hearing this, Li You's head suddenly buzzed. He didn't listen carefully to the words of the Feng army just now, but now he suddenly realized that the Feng army's accent was exactly the same as that of the Ning people. Just when he was stunned, he heard someone on the top of the city shouting loudly: "Sir, there was a sudden fire in the north city, and it seems that there is a battle!"
"What?" Li You was shocked and stunned for a moment. He turned his head and said to a Ning general beside him in a hurry: "Go to the north city quickly and see what happened over there!"
"Yes! Sir!" The matter was important, so how could the Ning general dare to neglect it? He intervened and saluted, then turned around and ran into the city.
Qingyuan City is too big. The main force of the Ning Army, led by Li You, is at the South Gate. If the Feng Army suddenly attacks the North City at this time, they will not be able to rush over to reinforce.
Watching the Ning general return to the city, Li You squatted down and asked the Feng Army soldier: "Who are you? Why do you speak with the Ning accent?"
"Sir, we are all Ning people, ordinary people living in the villages and towns around the county city. The Feng Army suddenly came and captured us first, and then took us to the Feng Army camp, forcing us to change into the Feng Army uniforms and helmets, and let us run to the county city, saying that we would be released back to the county city, and that the sir would come to greet us in person..." At this point, the 'Feng Army soldier' was already crying.
Li You did greet them in person, but the means of greeting were a little violent. He did not use wine, but deadly 500,000 eagle feather arrows.
Oh! After hearing this, the Ning soldiers and generals around were dumbfounded. Li You's body swayed and he almost sat on the ground. He was stunned for half a minute before he came to his senses. Then he hurriedly took a few steps like crazy, pulling and tugging, searching for the corpse on the ground.
The people around didn't know what happened to Li You, and they all came forward and asked cautiously in a trembling voice: "Sir, what are you doing..."
"Look quickly, see if the Feng army is carrying weapons!" Li You screamed without looking back.
Everyone woke up from a dream. That's right, if these Feng soldiers were really dressed up by their own people, then the Feng army would definitely not give them weapons. Reminded by Li You, everyone also knelt on the ground, turning over the corpses to see if there were any weapons left by the Feng army on the ground. As a result, they searched down and found that except for the eagle feathers scattered all over the ground, they did not find even a single sword or knife. The Fengjun soldiers were all clean, not to mention weapons, not even the slightest personal belongings. Seeing this, everyone was completely panicked. No wonder the combat effectiveness of this batch of Fengjun entering the city was so poor. Tens of thousands of people did not even have the strength to fight back. No wonder the Fengjun shouted that they were their own people when they were shot by their own arrows. No wonder the Fengguo cavalry was so spineless and fled first without helping. No wonder the Fengjun’s vigilance was so weak that they all rushed into the city. Now it can be explained clearly. These people are not Fengjun at all, but ordinary people of Ningguo.
"I've been fooled!" At this time, Li You felt his eyes go dark, his body swayed a few times, and he couldn't stand up. He sat down on the pile of corpses, his teeth clenched, and he looked up to the sky and said angrily: "Ziying, you have such a vicious heart..."
Letting the sharp arrows of the Ning people slaughter Ningguo's own people, nothing can be more cruel than this. Not to mention that Li You regretted it, even the other Ning soldiers and generals had their eyes wide open. Looking at the corpses on the ground, people couldn't believe that this was real.
After an unknown amount of time, Li You jumped up from the pile of corpses as if someone stepped on his tail, and shouted: "No, North City is in danger, everyone follow me to North City!"
At this time, Li You also reacted, and it was too late to go to North City. When the main force of the Ning army set up an ambush in the South City and shot arrows happily, the real main force of the Feng army, led by Jiang Fan and Zhan Hu, had begun to attack Qingyuan North City.
After all, Zhang Siting is from Ning, so Ziying can't trust him. He played a trick and said that he had taken a deadly poison. In fact, that was only part of his overall plan. Later, Liu Feng revealed that the poison was fake outside Zhang Siting's tent, and he also deliberately told Zhang Siting to let him have no worries. After returning to Qingyuan, he told Li You all his plans.
In Ziying's view, Li You, the chief of Hedong County in Ningguo, is a wise general. He will never miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He will definitely transfer the main force of the Ning army to the south of the city and set up an ambush to wait for his side to take the bait. It can be said that Li You can use this to take advantage of the situation, which has been calculated by Ziying.
After the Sky Eagle Army arrived at Qingyuan, they deployed camps around the city, which was indeed contrary to common sense. Ziying did this for two purposes. First, to lure the Ning Army out of the city to fight. As long as the Ning Army lost the city defense to rely on, Ziying was confident that he could command the Sky Eagle Army to swallow up the 50,000 Ning Army in one gulp. If the other party did not fall for it, the second purpose of camping around the city would be reflected, isolating Qingyuan City from the outside world.
During the two days stationed outside Qingyuan City, although the Feng Army camp was calm and seemed to have no action, in fact, the Feng Army was not idle. They attacked the villages and towns around Qingyuan City in batches and teams, killed all the local defenders, and then captured all the men in the villages and towns.
There was an additional camp built behind the Tianying Army's city-circling camp. At first, Ning generals speculated that Ziying built it for Tang Yin to please his master. In fact, that camp was set up to detain the captured Ning people. Feng Jun All the captured Ning people were imprisoned in this camp. Because it was too far away from Qingyuan, the city couldn't see clearly. In addition, the Tianying Army's camp surrounded Qingyuan City. The Ning Army in the city violently attacked Feng Army. He had no knowledge of the arrest of Ningguo people and had not heard any rumors.
After that, Feng Jun repeatedly threatened tens of thousands of Ningguo people who were imprisoned in the camp. From time to time, they said that they would behead all of them or trap them all. The Ningguo people lived in fear every day.
On the day of the sneak attack, Feng Jun changed the topic and his attitude suddenly became better. He said that their county chief Li You had paid a large sum of gold and silver to redeem them all, and he could release them back to the county tonight. city.
The people of Ning State believed it to be true and were extremely excited about the good news that fell from the sky. At the same time, they also praised Li You for loving his people like a son and so on. But at this time Feng Jun said that it would be too convenient for Ning Guo to let them go back like this, and wanted to use this to humiliate Li You, and immediately ordered them all to put on Feng Jun's military uniforms.
Of course, military uniforms are very light. Each soldier will carry two sets with him. It is not a problem to distribute tens of thousands of sets. However, there are not so many armors. Each soldier only has one set. This kind of life-saving thing on the battlefield is not It was impossible to separate the people of Ning State, so Ziying retreated and asked the soldiers to only give up their helmets.
It was also a great humiliation for Ning people to wear the military uniforms and helmets of the Feng Army. Some people in the Ning State were unwilling to be humiliated and refused to wear them. Feng Jun was not polite to these people at all, and cut them into pieces in front of tens of thousands of Ningguo people. When the people saw that Feng Jun was like a devil, killing people without batting an eye, they no longer dared to refuse, so they all wore Feng Jun's military uniforms. superior.
That night, the main force of the Feng Army had already quietly lurked in the North City, while tens of thousands of Ningguo people were pressed by more than 5,000 Fengguo cavalry and left the Fengjun camp. At this time, the Fengguo cavalry pointed at the city gate in front and waved. Holding a torch, he said to the people of Ning: "Did you see that your lord has sent people out of the city to greet you? Why don't you go quickly? But no one is allowed to speak. If you dare to say a word, don't blame me for waiting for you to be ruthless!"
The people of Ningguo did see torches waving in front of the gate of Qingyuan City. How could they doubt it? Moreover, they suffered a lot in the Fengjun camp. Now they are finally returning to their own city. People are running away one by one. Fast, but the cavalry of the Feng Kingdom were following behind. They didn't dare to say a word, they just ran away with their mouths closed and holding their breath.
At this time, for the people of Ning State, returning to Qingyuan City was just like returning to their own homes. People rushed to squeeze into the city gate regardless of their concerns. As a result, it was not the door to go home, but the door to hell. the door of death.
The nearly 50,000 innocent people of Ning State did not even understand what was going on. They became the target of Ning's army and became the pawns played by Ziying in the applause.
When Ning's army massacred Ning's own people, Ziying also issued an order to attack Qingyuan North City.
The collective siege of a hundred thousand troops was earth-shattering, but Qingyuan City was too big. The battle in the North City had been turned upside down, but in the South City, not even the slightest cry of killing could be heard. If it weren't for Ning, The sharp-eyed soldiers saw the fire in Beicheng, but they still have to be kept in the dark until now!
When Li You led the main force of the Ning army back into the city from the south city gate, before taking a few steps forward, he saw a soldier from the front covered in blood, Ning, galloping towards him on horseback and knocking Li You over. The man who fell off his horse fell to the ground with a plop, raised his head, and screamed: "Sir, something bad happened. The main force of the Feng Army sneak attacked Beicheng. Although our brothers fought desperately, the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. Now... Now the Feng army has broken through the inner and outer gates of Beicheng and entered the city! "
These words were like a bomb exploding in the crowd, making everyone dizzy. Li You sat on the horse, his body shaking continuously, and he almost fell off the horse.
If there is a city defense to rely on, the Ning army can still fight with a small number against the Feng army and keep the Feng army out of the city. But now the Feng army has broken through the city gate and entered the city. The Ning army of only 50,000 and the 100,000 are very good at close combat. Fighting with the wind army seems to be suicidal!
But now Li You couldn't think about it so much. He took two deep breaths and shouted loudly to the Ning Army soldiers behind him: "Brothers, follow me to the north city and fight out all the Feng troops who entered the city to death." Repay the country’s favor!”
"Death to repay the favor of the country! Kill -" The general was determined to die, and the soldiers were not greedy for life. At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Ning army were all red-eyed, shouting and hurried to Beicheng following Li You.
