Chapter 1270

As the last soldier stepped out of the gate, the gate closed again. Yang Gan looked at the four village leaders and said, "from now on, the gate is not allowed to open without my command. No matter what you have in mind, you must do it according to my requirements. As for the Tang Army, I will explain myself."

"Yes, Captain!" All of them agreed together;

"Lao Liu, let's go back to the east city!"

"Captain, I think we have something else to do!" Yang Laoliu suddenly said to Yang Gan;

"Oh, what else?"

"Although most of the city's grain, grass, supplies and Treasuries have been removed, we have to take them over. If someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, snatches them or burns them down, it's not easy for the Tang army to explain."

"That's right," Yang Gan suddenly realized. He quickly pointed to another village leader and said, "you should immediately take over all the granaries and government warehouses in the west of the city, and then send someone to take care of them, so that no one can have a chance to destroy them. Lao Liu, you will go to the east side of the city to take over. For the county government and the general's office, they must also take over. "

Yang Laoliu later learned that his move was crooked. He killed all the people who were left to burn food and materials for the king, and saved nearly 100000 stones of food for the Tang army.

……

In Fu's castle, Liu Shang and others are busy. Fu Yang has returned an hour ago. Cao's Castle agrees with his suggestion. The eldest son of Cao's family, together with 50 servants of his family, comes to see Liu Shang. Then everyone begins to prepare to send all the prisoners to Cao's Castle overnight.

By the third hour, all the more than 4000 prisoners were roped up in a group of ten. Just as they were about to leave the fort, suddenly two fast horses came running from the eastern official road with torches. There was no intention of hiding their whereabouts.

Soon the two horses galloped out of the castle gate. The two knights turned over and dismounted. They yelled at the guard on the castle gate: "open the door quickly, report to the general if there is an emergency!"

After seeing them clearly, the taxi driver immediately opened the gate and let them enter the castle.

After they entered the castle, they went directly to the courtyard where Liu Shang was. Running all the way, they quickly came to several people. One of them said: "general, no, dingyang Dingyang west gate opens and comes out There's a big wave of troops. There are thousands of cavalry at the head, and you can hardly see the edge behind. "

"Ah..." Everyone was surprised!

"How many troops are there?" Liu Shang asked in a hurry;

the two cavalry shook their heads: "I don't know. First, they couldn't see clearly at night. Second, after leaving the city gate, they cooperated with thousands of soldiers and came westward along the official road. There were two brothers lurking by the road to observe the situation. I don't know how many soldiers there were!"

"Is dingyang's army going to take advantage of the fact that the army in the East is not attacking the city overnight, and first send heavy troops to capture fujiabao to solve the threat in the west of dingyang?" Yu Xin opened his mouth;

"it's possible. If the order goes on, all the troops will be ready. It seems that we still have a big war to fight today." Liu Shang ordered,

"no!" With his command, the whole Tang army in fujiabao began to make preparations before the war.

More than half an hour later, the vanguard of dingyang allied forces finally arrived on the official road to the south of Fujia castle. The generals standing on the castle tower looked at the official road in front of them, all of them were as deep as water, and they were speechless for a long time. From the castle tower to the official road, although there are not many torches on the official road, they are several miles long. In the light of the torches, they seem to be full of soldiers and horses.

For a long time, Liu Shangcai said slowly: "let the soldiers get ready and light all the torches on the wall of the burning dock fort. Since a big war can't be avoided, let's have a big war. We just need to drag it until dawn, and the East army will attack the east wall of dingyang. At that time, dingyang city can't resist without these troops."

With his command, the whole fujiabao was like a huge lighted brazier, shining brightly around it. Not only that, within the hundred steps around the fort, dozens of huge fires that had been prepared were also lit by the Tang army. Now, within the 200 steps around the fort, the light is as bright as day.

However, to the surprise of the Tang soldiers, the attack of dingyang allied forces was delayed. The first one thousand cavalry and three thousand soldiers stood in the north of the official road, facing the fujiabao array, but they did not move closer to the fortress, but stood there quietly.

At first, the generals of the Tang Army thought that dingyang's logistics carts were towing equipment to attack the city. Who knows, those logistics carts went directly from the official road to the west without stopping, and thousands of Alliance troops guarding the logistics convoy also directly escorted the convoy to the West.

By the time the last wave of troops arrived, the Allied forces on the official road had reached nearly ten thousand people. I thought that the Allied forces should have launched an attack at this time. Who knows, the first group of four thousand infantry cavalry went straight to the front of the whole team, along the side of the motorcade, while the thousands of delayed allied forces stood in the north of the official road towards fujiabao, still standing However, he watched quietly, and no soldiers came forward to invite him to fight, and no generals came to persuade him to surrender.Seeing this, Liu Shang suddenly realized, "no, dingyang allied forces are going to flee!"

"Well, it's been an hour. We haven't come to attack yet. We have to run for a long time. General, let's catch up and bite two pieces of meat again." "It's impossible," Yuan Quan objected, "don't you see two thousand cavalry and three thousand soldiers behind? How many of us? How can we keep them? Besides, the situation in dingyang city is not clear now, and we have no way to let general Tian Yu know the news of the escape of dingyang allied forces, so let's wait and see what happens! "

After thinking about it for a moment, Liu Shang finally made up his mind. As Yuan Quan said, the direction of dingyang is not clear. If he drags down the enemy and the army can come as soon as possible, it's OK. If he can't, it's estimated that all his more than 4000 troops will be filled in, and there won't be much success.

"We can't move. We'll make a decision after confirming the situation of dingyang city by the day tomorrow."

When all the wagons of the Allied forces left for an hour, Xu Huang, who was in charge of breaking up, led the 5000 troops to withdraw slowly and disappeared into the vast night in the West.

Meanwhile, Fang Ge asked to go out to inquire about the situation several times, but they were all pressed down by Liu Shang and Yu Xin, so they were unable to make the trip. What they don't know is, how can a calm general like Xu Huang not be unprepared? In fact, he had set up an ambush several miles to the west of Fujia castle, waiting for the Tang army's pursuers to come. Unfortunately, Liu Shang and Yu Xin were both cautious people, and they did not send any pursuers at all. Seeing that the sky was about to light, Xu Huang led thousands of ambushes to chase the army.
