Chapter 537
Zhao Xi and Xiang Zheng hurriedly climbed the North Gate Tower surrounded by a large group of Qi soldiers, stood on the top of the city and looked out. Sure enough, they saw hundreds of people dodging and fleeing in the wilderness outside the city. Behind these people, dozens of Chu troops holding sharp blades were screaming and chasing them.
Just looking at the bright and straight bladed sword, you will know that it is a ring-headed sword.
Among the Central Plains countries, only the Chu army used the ring-headed sword.
Seeing this scene, many Qi soldiers' eyes immediately turned red.
A military marquis held out his sword and bullied Xiang Zheng, saying, "You also said that you did not send troops out of the city to kill people and grab food. The facts are all there, what else do you have to say?"
Xiang Zheng smiled faintly and couldn't even look at the military marquis.
Junhou was furious and was about to chop people but Zhao Xi stopped him: "Stop, just a few dozen ring-headed knives do not mean anything. Whether these Chu soldiers are true or not, you will know when you catch them and ask them."
"General, wise." The Junhou encountered a nail and retreated embarrassedly.
"General, the general, clarified his fists." Xiang Zheng hugged Zhao Xi and said, "But I suggest that the general be more careful. After sending troops out of the city, it is best to close the city gate and only open the side gate of the urn city."
The Wengcheng has been in the Huaxia tribe for a long time, and its exact appearance time is no longer accurate. However, it is an ironclad fact that the Wengcheng can greatly increase the city's defense strength.
The so-called Wucheng means building a circular or square small city on the outside (or inside) of the original city gate. The walls of Wucheng are connected to the big city, and there are also defense facilities such as arrow towers and balustrades on it. Wucheng City Gate and the main gate are not in the same straight line. Generally speaking, Wucheng City Gate is mostly built on the side.
For example, Linzi North Gate Wengcheng, its gate is opened on the east-facing side.
Once Xiang Zheng reminded him, Zhao Xi narrowed his eyes and said, "What does the prince mean?"
"There is nothing special to me." Xiang Zheng waved his hand and said calmly, "I just hope that the general can be more careful. The so-called warrior is a trick, and it is always right to be more careful, right?"
"That's right." Zhao Xi nodded happily. He immediately followed Xiang Zheng's advice and ordered the nearly thousand Qi troops waiting under the city tower to be prepared.

Outside the city gate, Bai Yan and Han Ju lay in the weeds, waiting coldly.
"General Bai, is that boy Zhou Yafu doing something mysterious?" Han Ju whispered, "This group of Chu soldiers pretended to be quite like that. Even the ring-headed swords they used were in the shape of Chu army. However, just by killing hundreds of Qi people, they could deceive the city gates into being opened?"
"Who knows." Han Ju was not optimistic about Zhou Yafu's arrangement and said, "Let's see."
As soon as he finished speaking, a Zhao army squad suddenly turned back and said, "General, you have fallen from the suspension bridge!"
"Hmm?" Bai Yan, Han Ju looked up at the same time, but the dark night was so dark that she could not see far. However, the two of them didn't wait too long. Soon, a large area of dense flames appeared in front of Zicheng Gate. With the bright flames, the two clearly saw that the Linzi Gate had indeed been opened and the suspension bridge had fallen.
"Damn it, this Qi Guomao really opened the city gate. It's so evil."
"General Han, don't say anything, hurry up and take the city with his own troops!"
"What I mean is that Lixiacheng gave the Han army the first place. Linzi should be on the turn of our Han army and your Zhao army, hahaha, go!"
As they spoke, the two had already stood up from the wormwood bushes. A personal soldier had already set off the war horses pressing into the grass. They then turned over the horses and drew their swords to lead them into the void. A little ignition flashed in the wilderness behind them, and they quickly spread to all directions, endlessly.
#############
"Is this?!" Zhao Xi, who was standing on the city tower, was shocked.
All the Qi soldiers who were guarding the city tower waiting to see the show were also shocked. The city guards of this era were completely relied on the towering city walls, so the defenders did not pay attention to the warning outside the city, so it was common for the enemy to touch the city walls while the night was dark. However, so many fires appeared outside the city at once, which still surprised them.
Looking at the fire, it doesn’t look like thousands of people, at least tens of thousands of people!
It would be inappropriate to let so many enemy troops touch the city gate. You should know that the Qi army also sent scouts to all directions. It is said that such a large army should be rewarded when it arrives in Linzi? But in fact, even Zhao Xi was kept in the dark, which shows that the other party was prepared.
Zhao Xi couldn't help but look back at Xiang Zheng. If it weren't for Xiang Zheng's reminder, even if nearly a thousand Qi troops had gathered in the city gate by accident, he would probably not be able to stop the opponent's fierce attack, because the Qi army leaving the city would definitely flee back to the city after being attacked. At this time, the soldiers guarding the city wanted to snatch the suspension bridge and it would be too late to close the city gate.
When Zhao Xi and the Qi generals on the city were secretly frightened, the Qi army who left the city to be arrested had already shouted and fled to the sides of the urncheng, but none of them fled back to the urncheng, because when they left the city, they saw that the city gate was closed, and if they escaped back to the urncheng, they would be blocked by the enemy and they would have no way to escape.
Seeing this scene, Xiang Zheng couldn't help frowning. This was a small negligence.
However, Xiang Zheng's brows soon stretched out again. In front of the two armies, the fighter planes were only in an instant, and the opponent's general might not be able to take care of this small flaw.
###############
Bai Yan still discovered this small flaw, and then he was a little surprised and said, "Hey, it's not right, why didn't these Qi troops run back, but instead ran to both sides?"
"What do you care about so much?" Han Ju said indifferently, "If you are a little late, the city gate will be closed!"
While speaking, Han Ju had already driven the Qi army to cover the city gate and killed him. Bai Yan hesitated for a moment, and the Zhao army had already landed behind Han Jun. The seventeen or eighteen captains, Sima and Junhou were a little anxious, and all looked at Bai Yan with eager eyes. Bai Yan had no time to think too much, and he rushed to the suspension bridge with a war horse.
Amid the deafening sound of killing, rows of Korean troops, Zhao army rushed into the north gate of Wengcheng, and the Han army, who rushed into the Wengcheng first, soon discovered something was wrong. Although the Wengcheng gate was open, the gate leading to the city was closed. A discerning person could tell at a glance that this was a trap. Han army, who was rushing in front, suddenly started to scream.
However, at this time, it was impossible for the Korean army to retreat. Behind them, more Korean and Zhao troops were stepping across the suspension bridge and swarming in through the gate of the Wengcheng. The loud warning from the Korean army in front was also destroyed by more Korean and Zhao troops' shouts of killing. The urn was full of fire, and no one could hear what anyone was calling.
Bai Yan finally entered the Wengcheng. Seeing the crowded appearance of the crowd in the Wengcheng, Bai Yan was shocked and turned around and wanted to leave the city. However, it was too late. Hundreds of dry firewood and white grass suddenly threw down the top of the Wengcheng city, and dozens of cans of tincture oil were poured down, and then dozens of torches were thrown down, and the fire ignited.
As soon as the fire ignited, it completely isolated the inside and outside the urn. Thousands of Han and Zhao troops who had already rushed into the urn were unable to advance or retreat, and they suddenly became turtles in the urn.
#############
On the northern suburbs of Linzi, above the hills.
A huge fire had already ignited outside the city gate of the North Gate Wucheng. Although it was far away, it still reflected Zhou Yafu's face. The soldiers standing on both sides secretly looked at him. Zhou Yafu's face looked very bad, and the corners of his mouth were even twitching slightly. Obviously, this plan to seize the city had failed.
As soon as the fire broke out, Zhou Yafu knew that his plan had been discovered, and Zhou Yafu immediately thought of another more difficult problem.
The gate of the North Gate Wengcheng has been blocked by a raging fire. It is absolutely impossible for the Zhao army to escape from the thousands of Korean troops that have entered the Wengcheng. Moreover, the North Gate Wengcheng is extremely large. Zhou Yafu roughly estimated that the trapped Korean troops and Zhao army had at least 2,000 people, and they must be the most elite soldiers in the army!
Bai Yan, Han Ju was eager to enter the city to seek profit, and maybe he was trapped in it.
Moreover, until now, there were no screams and wailings in the urn city, which shows that the Qi army or the Chu army had not yet killed him. At this time, Zhou Yafu had hoped that the Qi army or the Chu army would kill him, because he kept these more than 2,000 prisoners of war, especially Bai Yan, and the two hostages of Han Ju, and when the next division of the dirty, the Lianheng Alliance would be in a very unfavorable situation.
No one is a fool, and King Xiang Zhuang of Chu is extremely smart. How could he not use these more than 2,000 prisoners of war as bargaining chips to bargain with Lianheng Alliance? Zhou Yafu knew what it would mean to be captured by these more than 2,000 people, but he had no choice. As the saying goes, if one careless moves, he will lose everything. That's what he said.
#############
When teams of Qi army archers who were arching and arching on the female wall around the city appeared on the female wall, the more than 2,000 Korean troops trapped in the city, the Zhao army was in an instant. Those with shields quickly set up their shields. Those without shields instinctively wanted to find a cover, but where could they find a cover in the empty city?
However, no arrows fell down the city.
The Han army and Zhao army in the urn city were rioting for a moment, and finally gradually calmed down. In the end, more than 2,000 people in the entire urn city were silent, and even the root needle was clearly heard on the ground.
Then a majestic general of Qi army appeared on the top of the city and shouted to the city: "If you want to survive, put down the weapons in your hand. I promise that no one will be killed. I will let you go back when my king takes the country." After a brief pause, the general of Qi army looked cold again and said with a grim voice, "I will send someone to confiscate the weapons. If you dare to make any abnormal movements, or if any person who came down to confiscate the weapons, then all of you... will be killed immediately without forgiveness!"
The clang of weapons hitting the ground suddenly sounded in the urn city, and many people threw the swords in their hands to the ground.
Then dozens of hanging baskets were hung down from the Wengcheng city tower, and dozens of Qi soldiers began to pack up the weapons all over the ground, and then put them in the hanging basket and hung them on the city tower.!~!
