Xiu'er didn't have time to react, and so did everyone else. When Gao Pujun stood on the arrow stack and shouted down, Xu Zizhen's horse happened to step out of the city gate. Next to him was Yanzhao, who looked like a black tower. He looked up embarrassedly.
At one glance, Xu Zizhen pretended not to hear anything and still rushed forward boldly.
Behind them were the eight hundred martial arts students of Yingtian Academy. They did not ride horses, but formed four columns and ran behind the horses. Each of them carried an eyebrow-level stick, and they were so excited that they felt like they had been pumped with blood.
Gao Pujun gritted his silver teeth and cursed bitterly: "Two reckless men..."
"There are three!" A voice suddenly came out from beside him. By the time Gao Pujun saw clearly that it was his younger brother Gao Chong, the boy had already skipped down the city and "borrowed" a pole from the defender at the city gate.
With a big gun, he spread his legs and chased Xu Zizhen.
Gao Pujun was angry and anxious. He turned around and went to Zhao Gou, wanting to ask him to send someone to intercept Xu Zizhen immediately. When he took two steps, he was grabbed by someone. Looking back, it was Wen Xian.
Wen Xian's emotional intelligence was higher than hers, and she had a better understanding of the temperament of an official than she did. She pulled Gao Pujun over and whispered: "Sister, it's useless for you to go to His Highness Prince Kang. On the contrary, it will make him unhappy."
Gao Pujun said: "Then what should we do? Do we just watch them go out to die? That is a hundred thousand gold army, does he think he is a group of minions in the mountains?"
Another person came closer, this time it was Kou Qiaoyi. She smiled and persuaded: "I don't understand the battle, but since my husband did this, he must be sure of it. Could it be that my sister really believed that my husband was a man some time ago?"
Are you...going to pick up girls?"
Gao Pujun was startled, yes, Xu Zizhen is really carefree, but he is not so short-sighted. He knew that the Jin army was coming, but he still went to pick up some girls. He must have secretly set up defenses, and he was reckless before.
But after almost dying a few times, he became a thief. How could he really lead 800 people to carry the 100,000-strong Jin army?
As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. Gao Pujun is known as the most talented woman in the Song Dynasty. Among women, her military ability is unmatched. In fact, if she calms down and thinks about it, the hundred thousand troops outside the city will not be difficult for her, but she just goes out to meet the enemy.
It was her husband and biological brother. She only reacted when Wen Xian and Kou Qiaoyi said this.
Yes, Xu Zizhen is a coquettish guy, but he will not risk his own life to show off. He must be fully prepared if he dares to go out of the city.
After thinking about it like this, Gao Pujun immediately stopped worrying, and instead stood there looking outside the city, frowning slightly and guessing what Xu Zizhen would lay out.
Zhao Gou was confused now. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Xu Zizhen to go out and take this risk, but Xu Zizhen seemed confident, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree. But when Xu Zizhen really left the city, he regretted it again and wanted to ask someone to intercept Xu Zizhen back.
I hesitated again, what if my plan goes wrong?
Zhang Shuye next to him was dumbfounded and swallowed hard. He had heard that Xu Zizhen was very courageous and defeated powerful enemies with less and more. However, the legend only said that he had a few thousand to tens of thousands. Now
But it was a serious 800 vs. 100,000. If 800 people were thrown into the opponent's army, they wouldn't even make a splash. This... this is too disparity.
All the dissatisfaction he had with Xu Zizhen in the past few days disappeared in an instant. He was a military attache and had always admired courageous men. No matter how Xu Zizhen did it, at least he did not shrink back in front of the Jin people. This was enough.
There are various thoughts on the top of the city, but among the Jin army outside the city, Wu Shu has a calm expression. The anger caused by the defeat just now has been well controlled by him.
Hu Lieer waited for a long time, but Wu Shu did not show up, so he had to continue waiting. Seeing the sun sinking lower and lower, it was already afternoon.
Wu Shu suddenly spoke: "Kuliel."
Hu Lieer quickly responded: "My subordinate is here."
Wu Shu looked at the city gate and asked: "Do you know why I ordered the army to assemble but it was delayed?"
Hu Lieer hesitated for a moment and replied: "This subordinate is stupid."
Wu Shu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Actually, you have already guessed it, right? You and I are brothers and sisters. There is no need to be so careful. Just say whatever comes to mind."
A flash of emotion flashed in Hulie'er's eyes, and then he regained his composure, nodded and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me, I believe that the so-called immortal magic and demonic magic from ancient times to the present are nothing more than blinding techniques. How can they be found in this world?"
What magic formation can resist the army? What Xu Zizhen said is just a bluff."
Wu Shu nodded approvingly: "That's right, go on."
Hulie'er, who received the praise, was even more excited and said: "Your Highness is holding back just to make Xu Zizhen feel guilty. If this is the case, the Song people will be unstable and panic first, and that's when my army can calmly enter the city."
Wu Shu laughed loudly: "What you said makes some sense, but I have other reasons for keeping you still. That is... I want Xu Zizhen to leave the city and die."
Hu Lieer was stunned and couldn't believe it. They knew very well how many defenders there were in Yingtian Mansion. If Xu Zizhen's Shenji Battalion was still there, it would be worth being afraid of, but the news said that the Shenji Battalion had already followed the Xiliao army and fought far away.
In Hami in the west, if Xu Zizhen doesn't have this most powerful team, what else can he do to resist my army of 100,000 people? If I were him, Xu Zizhen would definitely hide in the city and not come out. How could I go out of the city to die?
Before he could finish his thoughts, he saw the gate of Yingtian Mansion in the distance opening with a loud click, and then Xu Zizhen, dressed in commoner clothes, rushed out on a white horse. There was only a big black man beside him, and behind him
Not a single Song army was seen, only a few hundred boys carrying wooden sticks.
"Your Highness is wise and has a wonderful plan!" Kulie'er was sincerely convinced and said in a low voice as soon as his thoughts changed, "Your Highness, I think that if two groups of people are divided to attack those two groups at this time, Xu Zizhen will be unprepared."
Wu Shu touched his chin and pondered for a moment, and said: "I also had this intention. I heard that the most talented woman of the Song Dynasty, Yi Zhiji, was in Yingtian Mansion. I think she was the one who found out just now, but she would never have thought of it.
I will attack the city along the old road again." He only paused for a moment before deciding, "Even if the Song people have intelligence, they will only stay nearby. Hu Lie'er, choose another 10,000 infantry, and take a detour first north and then south.
"
"My subordinates take orders!" Hulieer saw that his suggestion was adopted, and he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, so he responded and deployed his troops.
Wu Shufu turned around again and looked at Xu Zizhen with a smug look on his horse. He suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if a voice was telling him that this surprise attack would end in failure again.
Everyone on the top of the city looked at Xu Zizhen nervously. Suddenly a sergeant rushed to the city: "Report! News came from the observation ball. The Jin people divided into two groups and went around the road to Tiandu Mawei No. 2 Village."
