Chapter 200 City Gate
early morning.
The sun has not yet risen, and the distant sky is hazy.
Under the dim night with a hint of dark blue, a faint mist permeated the plain outside Nanyang City, making it difficult for people to see the distant scene clearly.
At this time, most of the nobles were still awake, but most of the commoners had already woken up early and rushed to Nanyang City from remote villages several or even dozens of miles away with all kinds of goods and packages on their backs.
There was a long queue outside the city gate, quietly waiting for the sun to rise and the city gate to open.
"Master Sheriff."
Above the city gate, the soldier standing guard suddenly saw a figure coming up. After he saw the face of the person, he was startled, hurried up to meet him, and said respectfully.
"Ok!"
Zuo Teng nodded lightly towards the captain guarding the city, knowingly asked, "Has General Tian not come yet?"
"General Tian will not participate in patrol today."
"yes!"
Zuo Teng naturally sneered at what the captain of the city guard said.
As the commander-in-chief of the border, Tian Lin does not need to personally participate in the patrol, but as a qualified general, he should patrol daily and set an example.
But on the surface Zuo Teng naturally didn't show any abnormalities. After all, Tian Lin's previous laziness and laziness aside, at least the reason why Tian Lin was 'late' this time was because he did it on purpose.
Zuo Teng patrolled the city wall twice in a pretentious manner, and the captain of the city defense followed closely behind.
as a civil servant.
It was a strange thing for Zuo Teng to come to inspect the border wall so early in the morning.However, the soldiers defending the city on the Nanyang city wall did not show the slightest difference to Zuo Teng's arrival.
What it comes down to.
This is because Zuo Teng had already started planning for today's plan more than a year ago.
More than a year ago, after Zuo Teng received the secret order from the Qin State, he got up early every day to inspect the border city wall, and then pretended to 'encounter' with Tianlin.
And after that, he often played songs with Tian Lin every night, and went to the music and dance workshop to have fun.
On the surface, it seems that Zuo Teng is flattering Tian Lin. After all, You Sima Tianlin is one of the important figures under Ji Wuye. With Ji Wuye's current power in Qin, even if Zuo Teng is the governor of Nanyang County, he can please him. He is also normal.
But in fact, Zuo Teng's real goal was to create a sense of presence in front of these defenders.
For today.
After wandering around the city wall for two laps, Zuo Teng first pretended to be satisfied and encouraged the small captain in front of him: "Captain Shu has worked hard, and it is thanks to Captain Shu that Nanyang City can have peace now. I will see you next time." When I go to General Tian, I will definitely mention you a few more words in front of General Tian."
"Thank you, Lord Sheriff."
The guard captain said excitedly.
Although Zuo Teng has no rights in Nanyang now, that is only for the upper class nobles in Korea.In front of mid-level and low-level officials like Captain Shu, Zuo Teng, the sheriff, was already considered a huge figure.
After mentioning Captain Shu, Zuo Teng glanced casually at the team under the city gate and asked, "What's going on down here?"
Captain Shu turned his head and took a look, and replied indifferently: "My lord, these are civilians from some villages near Nanyang City, as well as some traveling merchants. , but it’s not yet time to open the door, so they can only wait below.”
"I see. Since they are ordinary people, let them in first! After all, the heavy snowfall last year made life difficult for Korean civilians, and now it is almost time to open the door, so there is no need to let them in at this time." Watching these people starve and freeze outside the door."
"This······"
Hearing Zuo Teng's order, Captain Shu hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and glanced at the plain outside Nanyang City.
It was not yet dawn, and although the morning mist on the plain had begun to dissipate, it was still too far away to see clearly. However, looking out from the city wall, within two or three miles, everything was flat.
Although Zuo Teng has no right to intervene in the border defense, he has taken into account the status of the other party's county guard and the "reminder" just mentioned.
After a short hesitation, Captain Shu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to obey the order of the Governor."
Say it!
Captain Shu turned around and shouted towards the city: "Come here, open the city gate!"
squeak~~~
Following Captain Tree's order, the heavy city gate slowly opened.
Immediately afterwards, under the guidance of the guards at the city gate, civilians began to line up to check into the city one by one...
And at the same time when Captain Shu gave the order, Zuo Teng slightly raised his head and glanced at a large caravan at the end of the team below, his eyes flashed, but it was fleeting.
Soon.
The large caravan came to the city gate guards. Generally, such large caravans are the key inspection targets, just as a city gate guard was about to come forward to talk.
All of a sudden, the leader of the caravan rose suddenly, and a cold light appeared from the cloak covering his whole body, cutting the throat of the city gate guard in an instant.
At the same time as the blood splattered, a loud roar sounded:
"Go!"
hula la~~
Like a signal, in an instant, everyone in this large caravan lifted their cloaks at the same time, exposing the hard armor under the cloaks.
And the 'cargo' that was originally mounted on the carriage and covered with linen was now uncovered, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred warriors in armor and holding Ligo appeared out of thin air.
at the same time.
A 'fire sulfur stone' soared into the sky, turned into a firework and exploded in the air.
"not good!"
"Enemy attack!"
"It's Qin Jun, close the city quickly... ah!"
······
The mutation happened too suddenly, and there were not many guards stationed on both sides of the city gate. In addition, it was early in the morning, and many guards who had been on duty overnight were ignorant of their brains.
Therefore, in the face of the sudden accident, many people's reactions were a bit slow, and after they reacted, hundreds of Qin army dead soldiers in armor rushed into the city gate, slaughtered all the guards, and killed all the guards. The entire city gate is occupied.
"What's going on?" Captain Shu's expression changed and he roared angrily.
"Captain, it's Qin Jun. The caravan just now was disguised by Qin Jun." Someone hurriedly responded.
"Qin Jun? How could Qin Jun be at this time..."
Captain Shu was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, his face suddenly changed, and he looked up into the distance.
next second.
Two or three miles away, on the plain where there were no people just now, a cavalry unit of at least a thousand people suddenly burst out of the morning fog and was galloping towards Nanyang City at a very fast speed.
"No, it's a trap. The Qin army at the city gate is a dead soldier. Close the city gate quickly, the Qin army is attacking."
