Not long after the four soldiers entered, smoke suddenly rose from the storeroom.

"Oh no, Barcia and Kurha are spies, they set fire to the grain and grass, and now they have run away!" Pretending to be a dark and gray face of the Mengren, he ran out to report the news.

When the team leader heard this, he was anxious, and ordered his subordinates: "He's Nainai, what are you still doing in a daze, don't hurry up and put out the fire!" He turned his head and pointed at Dark Eight and Jiang Yunfei, "You and I will go with you to see the prince." ”

The guards scattered in all directions, and went to find containers to fill water to put out the fire, shouting as they ran, and suddenly, the entire garrison was awakened, and groups of soldiers hurriedly crawled out of the bed and rushed over in all directions.

Dark Eight glanced at Jiang Yunfei, and the two of them followed behind the team leader very quietly, and hurriedly ran towards the prince's bedroom.

Taking advantage of the fact that the awakened Limeng people had not yet arrived, the two of them attacked together after walking not far away, stabbed the unsuspecting squad leader from behind, pretended to be panicked soldiers calling for help, and ran towards other courtyards.

The entire garrison was in a panic, the sergeants were busy salvaging food and grass, and the sentries were busy catching the assassins.

Outside Chongzhou City, the Jiang Quan brothers, who had been staring at the direction of the garrison in the city, immediately noticed the red light that rushed into the sky.

"They've got it!" Jiang Yong pointed to the distance excitedly, and couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. The horse under his crotch was infected by his affection and paced back and forth restlessly.

"It's our turn!" Jiang Quan's always calm face couldn't help but smile, and with a wave of his hand, the three thousand cavalry who were ambushed outside the city, each dragging a long branch behind their horses, charged towards the city gate!

"Rush!"

The Limeng State was the first to send 200,000 troops, and then Crimea himself took command and brought 100,000 troops in his hands, a total of 300,000 troops. After the capture of Zhenyu Pass, the soldiers lost 60,000. The remaining 240,000 were divided into four teams by Kerim, three teams attacked Jingzhou, Lincheng, and Licheng, and the fourth team was divided into two, a few were stationed in Zhenyuguan, and most of them were stationed in Chengzhou City with him.

Most of the soldiers who could follow him were his private soldiers, a few troops who did not belong to him were stationed in the barracks in the city, responsible for guarding the city gates on all sides, and most of his private soldiers were placed in the garrison and surrounding houses.

In the southern city of Yunzhou, when the "army" led by the Jiang brothers came with great momentum, the guards on the city wall, who were already under-armed, changed their faces in shock. The guard made a quick decision, and on the one hand, he immediately sent people to the prince to bring rescue troops, and on the other hand, he calmed down and prepared to meet the enemy.

The people on the city wall were busy and nervous, and the soldiers who were responsible for guarding the city gate below clenched their spears in their hands and stood straight at their posts.

The shouts of killing outside the city gradually approached, and at the moment of crisis, the well-trained soldiers silently wiped their weapons for the last time, and only the loud shouts of the guards could be heard on the scene.

"Visually inspect the number of opponents!"

"Lord Qiqi, the enemy is wearing black turbans, and I can't see the number of people clearly. Judging by the sound and the dust behind them, the number should be above twenty thousand. The most eye-catching lookout in the army watched intently for a moment, and reported with some uncertainty.

There are only 5,000 guards in the southern city, and more than half of them are tired soldiers who have been on duty all day during the day. Hearing that the number of the other party was actually several times that of his own, the guard became short of breath, and his face turned pale.

"Have the people who went to ask for help come back?"

The guard suddenly remembered the sky-high fire in the city before, and a bad feeling appeared in his heart.

His idea was quickly confirmed, and two stumbling soldiers rushed to report in a panic and reported in a voice that everyone could hear: "My lord, it's not good, our grain and grass have all been burned, and the prince's side is now busy putting out the fire, and there is no force to support for the time being!" ”

The face of the guard Tie Qing suddenly faded and turned pale. Turning his head to look at the enemy army who was about to fight outside the city gate, he suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Fight to the death and not retreat!" ”

As this slogan sounded, a tragic look appeared on everyone's faces, "Fight to the death and never retreat!" ”

"Archers ready to shoot!"

With the determination to die, the guard stabilized his mind and began to command.

The people who were all focused on the outside of the city did not notice that the two small soldiers who reported the news quietly slipped down the city wall.

"Who's the leader?" Swaggering down to the city gate, Dark Eight, who was still very wolf just now, changed his arrogant face with his nostrils facing the sky, and asked menacingly.

The captain of the gatekeeping team hurriedly came out of the ranks, a little confused, "It's exactly below." ”

"We just went to the prince to report the news, and the prince specially issued a secret order to the captain of the gatekeeper, you come with me."

When the team leader heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and followed the dark eight around and walked into the darkness.

After a while, the team leader walked back alone, and the soldier who had just "passed the decree" was gone.

"You all go up to help the Guard, and I will personally sit at the gates." As soon as he returned, he gave an inexplicable order.

"My lord, but our duty is to guard the door?" A soldier who was known for his boldness in the army voiced doubts in his heart.

"The prince said that the reinforcements are expected to arrive in half an hour, and in this half an hour, we must defend the city gate to the death. Now that there is a shortage of manpower above, and the enemy will not be able to attack the door for a while, you should hurry up to the top to help, and wait for the enemy to come down when the door is outside. This reason is quite reasonable, and everyone did not dare to disobey, and lined up to step up the stairs.

Jiang Yunfei followed the end of the team slowly, and after watching everyone go up, he took out a small jar like a trick, bit open the seal and splashed all the contents on the wooden staircase, and then, threw the torch in his hand, and before everyone could react, the staircase instantly ignited a raging fire.

"Oh no, they're spies!"

After burning the stairs, Jiang Yunfei hurriedly turned around, and worked together with Yi Rongcheng's team leader Dark Eight to remove the huge latch made of the main trunk of the entire big tree and open the city gate!

The two Jiang Quan brothers led light cavalry that came and went like the wind, and they deliberately slowed down their speed just now. Seeing that the city gate was opened as planned, the brothers took the lead in cutting the rope with the branches on the horse's tail and gave the order to charge: "Kill!" ”

Removing the branches that got in the way, and charging with all their might, the terrifying speed of this group of light cavalry finally showed. The raindrops of bows and arrows on the city walls had just fallen, and the place where they had been aiming was empty.

"Archers listen and shoot freely."

The guard, who did not know that the city gate had been opened, heard the loud noise of the group who had been deceived into entering the city wall, and hurriedly walked over to check after giving the order.

"What's the matter, aren't you guys in charge of guarding the door? What do you do when you run up? Who burned the stairs? ”

"My lord, no, two spies just came, disguised as captains, tricked us up, and then set fire to the stairs. Now they're open! ”

"Rubbish! A bunch of rice buckets! Why don't you go down to the other side and stop it! ”

Watching the rice buckets run towards the nearest staircase, the guard felt a chill in his heart. He clearly knew that he couldn't hold it this time. Looking at the army that had attacked the city in an instant, he was in a dilemma for a while, he didn't know whether to gather men to chase and kill the other party, or whether he should continue to hold the city gate in case there were any more enemy troops behind.

When the unlucky rice bucket returned to the city gate, instead of seeing the shadow of the spies, they happened to encounter the enemy army that had just rushed in. In the face of the cavalry charging with all their might, they were powerless to resist at all, and they were killed by the opponent in an instant.

"Kill!"

After joining the army, Jiang Yunfei and Dark Eight removed their disguises, each rode with the Jiang brothers, and led the army to rush into the city.

On the horses, the cloth bags originally used to carry dry food were all filled with fire oil, and the three thousand cavalry arrived at their destination with just a cup of tea, and surrounded the entire garrison.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Jiang Yunfei took over the command, and with an order, it suddenly rained fire in the garrison mansion where the fire in the warehouse had just been extinguished. (To be continued.) )
