It must be said that the young man before him surprisingly came up with such a comprehensive plan in such a short time after being captured.
More importantly, he even considered the speed of the reinforcements.
That thorough and meticulous thinking made Lu G raise an eyebrow.
Feeling the gaze from the other party, the young man felt a bit anxious and quickly added, "If you're worried, you can send a team to come with us, but the number shouldn't be too many as that could raise suspicions.
What's your name?" Without receiving a clear answer, Lu Gi suddenly asked this question.
Zhao E.
Although he was puzzled as to why the other party suddenly wanted to know his name.
Zhao he honestly reported it.
All right, Zhao he I accept.
The issue of troop losses was indeed a problem.
After capturing one city with a lightning strike, he wouldn't be able to reach the second city in time.
Once the enemy reinforcements arrived, it wouldn't be easy to take it down.
Originally, Lu Gi planned to wait a few days before launching a formal attack.
However, now that Zhao E was guiding him and even willing to help him deceive the city gates, he certainly didn't team mind capturing two cities in one go.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yong, who had been silent all along, suddenly changed his expression upon hearing this.
Chief, you can't trust the enemy's words.
what they turn against us as soon as we enter the city.
It's better to kill them outright.
After speaking, Lu Yong cast a suspicious glance at Zhao E.
Hearing this, Zhao he felt anxious and wanted to argue, but Lu Gi raised his hand and said, "It's fine.
If he turns against us, I'll just take that city and kill him.
" Chapter 263.
Deceptive opening of the city gate part one.
The night was dark and under the night sky, Sun-ha City was ablaze with light.
A soldier stationed on the city wall squinted his eyes, watching the flames outside the city gradually grow larger.
The solders's expression changed slightly, and he hurly rang the copper bell beside him.
Hearing the commotion, the soldiers on guard quickly gathered at top the city wall, looking at the approaching team outside who were holding torches.
As one of the two captains of the East City Gates garrison, Jeang Daping raised his hand, signaling the archers to be ready to shoot and then shouted, "People outside the city listen.
Don't come any closer or I will order the archers to shoot.
Perhaps a shout had some effect as the team outside slowly halted their advance.
" The cooperation from the other side eased Jeang Daing<unk>s expression and he shouted again, "Who are you? State your affiliation and name.
" As he shouted this, a figure slowly stepped forward from that team outside.
Raising his voice, I am Zhao E, a subordinate of General Jindo.
The east border city has been attacked by the enemy and has fallen.
We barely managed to escape and many of our brothers are seriously injured and in urgent need of medical attention.
Open the city gate quickly as he spoke.
He deliberately raised the torch in his hand, letting the light illuminate his face so that those on the wall could see him clearly.
to perform this act.
Well, Zhao, he had indeed put in a lot of effort.
He and the 50 or so others were all covered in blood, their leather armor tattered and torn, each looking as if they had fought their way out of a bloody siege from head to toe.
It was utterly convincing.
However, it was still daytime when the messenger had just arrived.
And at this moment, Sona City had already closed its gates and entered a state of martial law.
They didn't dare to casually open the gates to let others in.
Thinking of this, Jeang Daing couldn't help but shout again, "Where is your general?" Hearing this, the soldiers behind Zhao he felt a tightening in their hearts, but Zhao e himself remained calm.
After breaking through to evade enemy pursuit, the general ordered us to act separately.
He took another team of brothers to retreat towards Songhan city.
I'm not clear on the current situation.
In the eastern region of Zhao Dong Nan civilization, there are three cities.
East Border City, Son City, and Song Han City.
These three cities form a triangular formation, allowing for mutual support in case of emergencies.
This layout was quite good, but Zhao Dong and himself probably never imagined that one corner of this iron triangle would be shattered before nightfall, leaving them no time to react.
Zhao Yi<unk>s response left Jeoping unable to discern any immediate problems, but he still hesitated slightly, saying, "Wait a moment.
I need to consult the general.
" The other side's indecision made Zhao E feel uneasy.
Xiao Pu, the garrison commander of Suna City, was a fierce general.
If he came over, it would be difficult for them to seize control of the city gate.
For a moment, Zhao ES mind was racing, pondering whether to change the plan when there was suddenly a new development on the city wall.
The general just married a third concubine yesterday and is busy right now.
If we disturb the general's good fortune, what will happen when blame comes down? Have you thought about the consequences? The speaker was Chuning Rui, the other captain of the East City Gate Garrison.
He stepped forward and glanced at Zhao E below before turning to Jean Daang saying that person down there is indeed Joe E under Generalong.
I've seen him before.
Then should we let them in? Jeang Daang looked indecisive.
But Chinming Rui<unk>'s words made sense.
Given their generals temper, it would indeed be punishable to disturb him at this moment.
What else can we do? Jeang Daang was momentarily speechless and then shouted again, "Brothers below, wait a moment.
We will open the gate now.
Hearing this, Zhao he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He couldn't hear what the two above had said, but as long as he could trick them into opening the city gate, it would suffice.
The waiting time was particularly agonizing for Zhao E feeling as if each second was a year.
While Jeang Daang and Chinming Rui walking toward the gate clearly could not relate, Jeang Daing even asked a few more questions on the way.
That Zhao e outside, do you know him? Can't say I know him well.
He was originally a centurion but is quite the fool.
He offended the general for a few dead commoners and ended up demoted to a soldier.
Given General Xindong's character, he will probably never rise again.
Shuning Ruer spoke without concealing his disdain for saying that having popularity among soldiers and a bunch of dead commoners counts for nothing.
Building a good relationship with superiors is the right way to get promoted and become wealthy.
As they spoke, the tightly shut city gate of Songha City slowly began to rise.
The light from the flames illuminated Zhao Yi<unk>s face, and he slightly relaxed, then quickly tensed up again.
This was just the first step.
The key was to seize control of the city gate.
Quickly come in.
The gate had risen halfway and did not go any higher.
Jeang Daping<unk>s voice came from inside.
He was worried that the gate being open for too long might cause some unexpected incident.
While Zhao he was concerned that lingering too long might arouse suspicion.
Thinking of this Zhao he dared not hesitate any longer.
He moved forward using a torch light to quickly signal to those behind him.
The crowd immediately understood helping each other as they surged into the city.
Tribe leader they have entered.
In the distance hiding in the night Luo Yong<unk>s expression was still somewhat worried.
Even now he still doubted Zhao Yi<unk>s words.
Should we take advantage of the opportunity now that the gate is open to strike directly? Don't rush.
Standing beside him, Lu G appeared calm.
Trust those we use and don't doubt those we trust.
Since we chose to believe Zhao e once, let's believe him completely.
How long does it take for them to close the gate? Even if we suddenly rush out now, can we outpace the other side closing the gate? At this point, Lu G slightly eased his tone.
Seeing his calm demeanor, he truly appeared unhurried.
Rushing out suddenly would only disrupt Zhao Yi<unk>s plan.
Rather than doing that, it was better to take a gamble.
