Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

bang~ bang bang~ bang~ bang bang~

Accompanied by the noise of hey yo hey yo, the sound of knocking on the door followed.

And some troops have already begun to erect ladders, and have begun to climb the South Gate Tower.

Seeing that everything was going so smoothly, Hu Bilie was secretly delighted and excited, but he couldn't help but wonder, a really inexplicable doubt popped up in his mind-why didn't the officers and soldiers defending the city fight back in the slightest?Could it be that their minefield was scrapped because of a shower, and after they lost their support, they were frightened by my strong army of more than [-] people, Mr. Hu?

Bang!

Before Hu Bilie could think about it, the south gate had already been knocked open!

Looking at the top of the city again, the Tang Long Banner of the official army has been pulled down by another army of his, and it was thrown directly from the tower.

The Dragon Flag of the Tang Dynasty fluttered and landed on the ground outside the south gate, and was instantly trampled to the ground by the white lotus bandits who poured into the south gate one after another, and fell into the mud under the city.

The south gate was broken just like that?

The south gate tower was taken down just like that?

It didn't cost a single soldier, didn't cost a knife or a sword, and at the cost of zero casualties, won it?

Hu Bilie couldn't believe his eyes.Suddenly, an unknown feeling rose up in my heart.

Immediately, he urged all the relatives around him: "Quick, quickly follow the leader into the city to find out the situation."

After finishing speaking, he raised the whip in his hand, and galloped towards Qianzhou City at a fast speed.

As soon as he entered the south gate, before he had time to notice the strangeness, he heard a scar-faced leader stepping up to lead his horse to fall, and then reported: "Master, something is wrong, there is no one guarding the south gate at all. The brothers didn't bump into it. The next time, the gate opened by itself. After we entered the south gate, we found that there were no ghosts of officers and soldiers around."

No one guarding the south gate?

Hu Bilie was dumbfounded, and at this moment, a skinny leader flew over the tower and hurriedly shouted: "Master, there are no officers and soldiers above the tower, nothing at all."

Nothing on the city tower?

Hu Bilie was completely dumbfounded this time, subconsciously thinking, do the officers and soldiers want to give up the South Gate and the South Gate Tower?Then let us in and fight again?

Yes, the officers and soldiers must have felt that the more than [-] soldiers and horses could not stop the [-] or more soldiers of the leader from attacking the South Gate and the South Gate Tower, so they simply gave up guarding and put us in the city before fighting.

[-] soldiers want to fight in the city with my more than [-] soldiers, or fight in the streets and alleys?This is a wishful thinking.However, there are many masters of this sect, so we can still deal with you in the city.

After much deliberation, Hu Bilie can only explain it with such a reason.

However, soon another short leader under his command rode his horse to report: "Master, I led the congregation to search several nearby streets and alleys, but there was no sign of an officer or soldier at all. It seems, it seems... "

Hu Bilie's heart collapsed, and he cursed furiously: "What does it look like? Hesitating, are you courting death?"

The short leader replied weakly: "It seems that Qianzhou City is an empty city."

"Empty city? How is it possible?"

Hu Bilie lashed his whip at the short leader in shame and anger, and cursed after the beating: "A few days ago, they were beaten to death, Zhao Youxin and his [-] troops were wiped out outside the south gate, why? Could it be an empty city? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

da da da ~~

Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves behind Hu Bilie, and it was Yu Jingde, Duguyu and others who rode their horses into the south gate.

As soon as they entered the city, they realized that something was wrong.From a distance, I heard Hu Bilie yelling loudly here, and I almost understood what happened.

The three sons of the Yu family didn't think too much about it. The three brothers looked at each other gloatingly at each other, and finally looked at Hu Bilie with a sneer on their faces.

It seems that taking down the south gate and breaking the city this time is not because of how awesome Hu Bilie is, but because it is just an empty city.

The three brothers had already forgotten that a few days ago, the three of them had suffered from the army outside the south gate.

But Yu Jingde and Duguyu couldn't be happy at all, their eyes suddenly showed panic, and then they shouted in unison: "Hurry up, go to Qianzhou Governor's Mansion!!"

After the two shouted, they had already waved their whips and galloped towards the Governor's Mansion in the center of the city.

At this time, the three brothers of the Yu family also understood, and shouted in unison: "No, gold bricks!!!!"

The three brothers followed closely behind their father, and also rode their horses to catch up.

After being reminded by the three brothers, Hu Bilie also understood that the astonishing amount of gold bricks was actually hidden in the governor's mansion.

Immediately, he also rushed to the governor's mansion with a group of followers and trilogy.

After a while, when he arrived at the governor's mansion and entered the gate, he was about to ask the bandit soldiers Yu Jingde and Duguyu who were on guard in the mansion where they were in the governor's mansion when he suddenly saw Yu Jingde and Duguyu coming from the backyard with low expressions. out of the archway.And the third son of the Yu family also followed, and the faces of the three brothers were full of resentment, and they kept swearing at each other.

Hu Bilie's heart skipped a beat again, and he secretly chided, is there something wrong with the gold bricks hidden in the governor's mansion?

When he was about to ask Yu Jingde, Duguyu had already shook his head at him, and sighed: "It's a step late, the secret passage in the mansion has been discovered by the officers and soldiers, and the batch of gold bricks hidden in the ground are all gone." was transferred."

"what?"

Although Hu Bilie had already guessed the situation of the gold bricks, but hearing what Duguyu said, he was still shocked, and exclaimed: "All gone?"

Duguyu nodded and remained silent without saying a word.

On the other hand, Yu Jingde sighed gloomyly: "If the old man's guess is correct, the officers and soldiers not only gave up Qianzhou City, but also transferred all the gold bricks away. Hehe, it's in vain for us to spend all our efforts to twist I tried my best to take back Qianzhou City, but they left us an empty city, ahem..."

At the end, Yu Jingde was so angry that he coughed.

But after Hu Bilie listened to Yu Jingde's words, he felt that his joy of conquering Qianzhou City was gone in an instant. It hit the cotton pile.

Immediately, he asked: "The officers and soldiers withdrew from Qianzhou City in such a short period of time, and they had to bring such a large number of gold bricks. Where can they retreat? Let's chase them? Maybe they can recover them. "

"wishful thinking!"

Yu Jingde replied coldly: "The south gate is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of our heavy soldiers. Where can he retreat? North? Impossible! The dog thief surnamed Guo is a person who is proficient in strategy, he must also Thinking of withdrawing to the north with so many gold bricks, we will definitely catch up. If the old man guessed correctly, the surname Guo must have moved to the other side of the Heishui River with these gold bricks—"

After all, Yu Jingde raised his hand and pointed to the west of Qianzhou City, and said in a deep voice: "Lingnan City! He must have moved to Lingnan City, and wants to continue to confront us by taking advantage of the natural danger of the Heishui River."

"Lingnan City? Blackwater River?"

Hu Bilie jumped up and shouted at his followers: "Hurry up, go and see that there are no boats at the Ximen Ferry. Forcibly collect all the boats along the Heishui River on the Ximen side, and prepare to forcibly cross the Heishui River." River, attack Lingnan City, and take back the gold bricks."

"Don't bother!"

Duguyu, who was silent, suddenly looked at Hu Bilie, shook his head in dismay, and said, "Do you think that a shrewd person like Guo Ye will leave us a boat before leaving? Let alone attacking Lingnan City now." Even crossing the Heishui River is not an easy task!"

Chapter 1085

Hu Bilie's planning was so thorough this time, it really took a lot of effort to prepare for the capture of Qianzhou City.

In the end, unexpectedly, the captured city turned out to be an empty city.It is conceivable how disappointed he was at this moment.He has been standing empty-handed in the Governor's Mansion, stupidly frozen on the spot, he didn't even notice when Duguyu, Yu Jingde and others left the Governor's Mansion.

After a long time, Duguyu and Yu Jingde's hundreds of thousands of white lotus guards also marched into the city one after another.
