Chapter 110
Yangxin City was like a dead city in the middle of the night. Logically, when he knew that the rebels were coming to attack the city, Li Neng would definitely send at least some troops to patrol outside the city. This is a small city. If he didn't patrol, he would only be captured for a moment.
Obviously, what Li Guiren saw was extremely abnormal, and he knew it himself, but the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Li Guiren had no better way for a while, because he was afraid that if he withdrew at this time, he would fall into the enemy's plan, so he could only bite the bullet and issue an order to attack the city.
Not only did he issue an order to attack the city, Li Guiren also asked his soldiers to directly use all the siege equipment.
In almost a few incense sticks, the rebel generals had already climbed to the top of the city. When Li Guiren saw this situation, he felt no joy at all, because he had already seen that the Tang army was not in the city at all.
In other words, he was fooled by his scout, and the information conveyed from the front was obviously wrong. Li Qing's army did not appear in this city and he had wasted a lot of time on the road. One very likely situation was that Li Qing had already taken the Tang army to Youzhou with the detour.
If Li Qing and his troops had already set out, he would not only not have any contribution, but his status under Shi Siming's account would also further decline.
When Li Guiren thought of this layer, he was so angry that he was so angry that he came.
"General, this... is just an empty city! There is no shadow of a defender in the city. Could it be that we were fooled, right?"
The deputy generals who attacked the city basically understood what was going on. It was indeed easy for them to take down the city, but the reason for the ease was not something else, but there were no defenders in the city, which was obviously not a normal situation.
"Damn it, Li Qing is really cunning. He quickly went to the city to capture some people and asked how Li Qing's army left!"
After Li Guiren gave this order, he actually had a little fantasy in his heart. If Li Qing and his men had not yet gone far, he could still chase him from behind.
But not long after, another news that surprised him came. Not only was there no Tang army in the city, but even a commoner was gone. In other words, the city had become an empty city that was completely empty.
"What? The people are gone? Could it be that Li Yan even eats all the people in this city? Let's go and take a look! Could it be that Li Yan has started to use the method of being a side-by-side method? He used illusions in this city, so that our army could not see them?"
This is obviously a very evil thing. Li Guiren is a little unbelievable. Li Neng's army can leave, but the people in Yangxin City have basically lived here for generations, and it is impossible for them to leave cleanly within such a few days.
During the Xuanzong period, due to the prosperity of Kaiyuan, there was a little extra money in both national strength and people's homes, which gave rise to the emergence of many entertainment projects, and this illusion was one of them. Moreover, because of the illusion that people had never seen before, Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan both highly praised this project.
However, under such circumstances, Li Guiren actually threw the blame to the Illusion, and he was obviously a little crazy.
He took his confidants and several generals straight into the city, but in the city, what he saw was basically no different from what his soldiers told him. This was an empty city, but it was definitely not empty for a long time, because many things were still fresh. Li Guiren could conclude that these people must have disappeared after Li Yan arrived here, but he didn't understand how they disappeared.
He could not complete the task given to him by Shi Siming, so there was basically only one way left before him, that was, to bring 50,000 troops back to Youzhou to apologize.
However, Li Guiren was once a person who was above the top in the rebels and could be called king. He was unwilling to give up at this point.
This unwillingness made me feel a little bit of a bad idea.
"Since you have arrived, don't go back empty-handed. At least you have to get out the food and grass in the past few days. Send some people to search the city to see if there are any valuable items. Our soldiers need money! Our big swallows also need money!"
After making up a high-sounding reason, Li Guiren ordered these people to plunder the remaining things in the city. In his opinion, even if the people left, it would be impossible to go far in such an anxious situation, so there would be still a lot of valuable things left in the city.
After he ordered this, the soldiers happily went to do it because such a thing was so good. If any soldier really discovered something valuable, as long as there was no one around him, the thing would basically belong to him.
So, more than 20,000 of the 50,000 army entered the city and began to sweep the storm. The remaining people were left 10,000 outside the city to be warned, and the rest followed him.
The rebel soldiers who were guarding outside the city stopped doing this. They were all talking about how many treasures there might be in the city and how many people would find valuable things during this treasure hunt, and then they went directly while the night was dark.
A soldier who was guarding outside the city was frowning and talking about how much gold, silver and treasure he would lose this time. Suddenly, he heard a "whoosh" sound from far to near. Before he could turn his head to take a look, the sound-producing thing had arrived. It was a flying arrow that was directly inserted into his forehead.
The rebel soldier didn't realize what was going on in the end, but his life was obviously over outside the city.
"Enemy attack! There are enemy troops! There are enemy troops!"
It was not until a friend was shot and killed that the rebels outside the city realized that they might have been trapped, but by this time, it was obviously a little late. In the night, their enemies had already killed them.
The 5,000 Suiyang cavalry brought by Nan Jiyun. After experiencing the previous battles, the Suiyang cavalry was no longer the same as before.
