Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Battle of the Southern Army

At the same time as Zhang Yu led the government soldiers to attack the city gate, Su Xin also took the government soldiers of several families to the Southern Army Office to prepare to rescue the Southern Army officers who were imprisoned in the government office.

The soldiers of the family led by Su Xin walked silently on the silent street by night, and the soldiers of the southern army who were patrolling the night were silently shot on the street by bows and arrows. All the movements did not seem to arouse anyone's alarm, and nearly a thousand government soldiers gradually gathered on the street in front of the Southern Army Office.

Looking at the familiar place again, Su Xin slowly pulled out the sword on his waist and aimed at the gate of the Southern Army Office, and the government soldiers under his hand had no need to hide their traces at this moment, and they rushed forward quickly.

The soldiers guarding the gate of the Southern Army finally found a large number of samurai in armor and armed weapons rushing over and shouting: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

Although the soldiers guarding the gate of the government office reacted, how could dozens of people resist the siege of nearly a thousand people, but in a few breaths, the soldiers guarding the government office were killed on the steps of the gate of the government office, and with the squeak and turning sound of the gate of the southern army office being opened, the government soldiers led by Su Xin successfully completed the first step of the plan - to attack the southern army government.

The defenders in the Southern Army Office also began to organize resistance when they heard the sound of fighting outside, and Su Xin's soldiers continued to break down the sporadic resistance of the defenders like chopping vegetables, and things seemed to have been carried out according to Su Xin's plan, but this progress was inevitably too smooth.

Looking at the defenders who were retreating one after another, a hint of foreboding suddenly appeared in his confidence, Dong Cunren was not a relational who did not know the art of war, how could he even be so lax in the defense of the base camp of the Southern Army Administration, and the combat effectiveness of these defenders was too poor, it was simply vulnerable.

The officers detained in the government office of the Yugoslav Army are an important guarantee for Dong Cunren to control the Yugoslav army, and the detainees should all be Dong Cunren's cronies, and the combat effectiveness cannot be so bad.

Thinking of this, Su Xin immediately said to the deputy general beside him: "Quickly send someone to find the imprisoned generals, in addition, the progress is going too smoothly now, I am afraid that there will be fraud, send a few teams of scouts to inquire about the situation nearby."

"No, my subordinates will arrange it." After speaking, the deputy general went to arrange for people to carry out Su Xin's orders.

Even after making these arrangements, Su was still nervous, which was his instinct as a commander. Now Su Xin felt as if he was a prey about to fall into a trap, and the hunter had already prepared a trap waiting for Su Xin to throw himself into the net.

A scout came over to Su Xin and said, "My subordinates have searched the area that has been controlled by us, and we have not found any detainees."

As soon as he heard the news, Su Xin immediately ordered: "Everyone stop attacking and retreat immediately."

Although the soldiers of the family did not know why they retreated suddenly, they still carried out the order and retreated from the Southern Army Office in an orderly manner.

Just after Su Xin went out with the soldiers of the family, he found that the silence outside was unusual, and the whole street seemed too quiet, so quiet that it was a little uncomfortable.

Su Xin's alarm bell sounded, and none of the scouts sent before came back to report the situation, just as Su Xin looked around.

Countless torches suddenly lit up all around, and the people holding the torches were all soldiers of the Southern Army, and before Su Xin could react, a wave of arrows had already beckoned, and several unlucky soldiers were shot by bows and arrows and fell in a pool of blood.

"Get back in." Su Xin loudly ordered the government soldiers to retreat into the Southern Army Office.

Dong Cunren rode a white horse and calmly arranged, and said to himself: "Lord Jade-faced Fox, no, it should be that Master Hou is really a god." Every move is under the arrangement of the Hou Ye. ”

Su Xin, who was trapped in the Southern Army Bureau, found that there were a large number of fire-causing things in the office, not to mention that it was a dry summer, and it was extremely dangerous to accumulate a large number of flammable things such as dead grass and fierce fire oil at any time.

"It seems that Dong Cunren has been ready for a long time and wants to burn us to death in the Southern Military Mansion." Su Xin said to the lieutenant general beside him with reluctance and anger.

Without waiting for the adjutant general to speak, a scout came to report, saying that as long as he laid down his arms and surrendered, he could avoid death, otherwise he would burn down the Yugoslav Army Office.

At this moment, the palace is also in full swing to deploy.

"Aiqing, tonight's plan has gone awry, attacking Zhang Yuzhong of Mingdemen. Su Xin, who was preparing to attack the Southern Army Office to rescue the imprisoned officers of the Southern Army, was also trapped in the Southern Army Office. The Son of Heaven, who was sitting on the dragon chair, said worriedly.

"Your Majesty, the Mingde Gate is too far away from the palace, and I'm afraid that only the Northern Army outside the gate has the strength to rescue it. Now it's better to send troops to rescue Su Xin, who was surrounded. Taifu said calmly.

"But how many capable soldiers do I have under my hands? As the saying goes, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and the current forbidden army lacks food and grass to protect itself. The gloom on the face of the Son of Heaven became heavier.

"Back to Your Majesty, it is better to let the soldiers of the hussar battalion have a full meal now, and then fight out of the siege to rescue Su Xin's department. Thinking that Dong Cunren concentrated his troops in the Mingde Gate and the Southern Army Office, the garrison near Miyagi must be lax. ”

Then he ordered the forbidden army to go out of the palace to raise food and grass, and Aiqing was really talented. Get the hussar camp ready. ”

After a rare full meal, the soldiers of the 3,000 hussar battalions looked at the loose defense line of the southern army outside Miyagi and launched a charge.

The charge of three thousand horses made the earth tremble, and the charging cavalry was accompanied by smoke and dust rising behind them. The Southern Army, which had been lacking actual combat, saw this posture and did not even have the courage to resist, so they scattered and fled.

The hussar battalion also had no time to chase down these routs, and their goal was to rescue Su Xin from being trapped.

Seeing that the siege outside had been broken by the hussar camp, the forbidden army in Miyagi immediately came out to raise food and grass according to the orders from above.

Su Xin, who was surrounded by the siege, looked out in despair, could it be that he was going to die here today? No, I'm not reconciled.

Suddenly, everyone felt the ground tremble slightly, could it be an earthquake? Experienced veterans immediately judged that this was a formation that could only be achieved by more than a thousand cavalry.

After the rushing cavalry pierced the soldiers in the first row of the Southern Army with the spears in their hands, they trampled the Southern troops blocking the road with the impact of their horses, and then the cavalry brandished their sabers to harvest one head after another.

"Brethren, reinforcements have arrived, follow me to break through."

With Su Xin's order, the soldiers of the family who were trapped in the Southern Army Office launched an attack in the direction where the cavalry came.

Dong Cunren wanted to launch a rocket to ignite the flammable materials in the office, but found that it was too late. Since the elite were all transferred to Mingdemen, the southern army here could not resist the attack from both sides.

Su Xin, who had successfully rendezvous, immediately took the soldiers of the family and went straight to the direction of the palace.
