Chapter 230: A Thousand Horsemen Break Chengdu

Although the night was cold, it was very suitable for covering up the tracks, and the 2,000 cavalry of the Tiance Army were quietly marching in the direction of Chengdu Fucheng on the official road.

Maybe it's God's help, there are no dark clouds tonight, and the bright moon is just pointing the way for the Tiance Army. As we get closer and closer to Chengdu Mansion, the city walls of Chengdu can be clearly seen, and the sparse torches are particularly eye-catching, and the weakness of the city's defensive strength can also be found.

Suddenly, a scout galloped in front of Zhao Xiong, did not dismount, and immediately said after saluting, "Commander Qiqi, the defense of Chengdu Fucheng is weak, and there are more troops in the north and west, and fewer in the south and east. ”

The huge Chengdu Mansion was actually defended by less than 3,000 soldiers and servants, and even the people were not recruited, so it can be seen that Chen Jingxuan never thought that they would attack the Chengdu Mansion, which also shows that their adventure is likely to be successful.

"Commander, how are we going to fight? Although there were not many people defending each gate, we were cavalry, and there were only a few ladders. ”

These ladders were still grabbed in other counties before, and because the city walls of Chengdu Mansion were high, they could only put two ladders together in order to climb the city walls of Chengdu Mansion.

Zhao Xiong stared at the city tower in the distance for a moment, and asked Qin Yi'an next to him, "Qin Du, what is your good plan?" ”

Qin Yi'an looked at the familiar Chengdu City, and said in a deep voice, "Commander, there is a plan for humbling the position. There is not much new ideas, just deceive and open the city gate, we fought during this time, and captured a lot of military uniforms of the Xichuan army, we can pretend to be Zizhou reinforcements to attract the attention of the defenders.

At the same time, for the sake of safety, some soldiers were allowed to use the ladder to go up to the city from a distance away from the city gate. In this way, as long as we have one place to succeed, we can attack the city of Chengdu. ”

Zhao Xiong nodded, approved of this method, and ordered, "Pei Du, you lead three battalions of brothers to dismount and take the ladder to attack the city from the southern city wall; Qin Du, you are from Chengdu Prefecture, and your accent can deceive these Xichuan soldiers who defend the city, and you are responsible for taking two battalions to deceive the city gate.

I will take the remaining five battalions with me to wait for you with good news, and as soon as you do it here, I will immediately bring five battalions to support you.

Is there a problem? ”

"No problem!" Qin Yi'an and Pei next to him nodded and said in a deep voice.

Soon, Pei Du dismounted with three battalions of cavalry and headed south with a ladder, while Qin Yi'an began to let his men change their uniforms.

The cavalry equipment of the Tiance Army is very good, and the cavalry are all mountain armor, but Xichuan is not good. Although Xichuan is rich, Chen Jingxuan is only good to his own cronies, and he will not spend a lot of money to build other troops.

Therefore, the mountain armor must be taken off, otherwise it will not be able to deceive the defenders.

After about a quarter of an hour, Qin Yi'an led two battalions towards Chengdu Fucheng, only a dozen of them were cavalry, and the rest gave up their war horses, and even their weapons were only equipped with horizontal swords.

The movement of Qin Yi'an and his party alarmed the defenders on the city tower, and the defenders rushed from all directions, and suddenly many torches were raised, looking at the troops under the city with unkind expressions.

"Who's coming?"

"Open the door quickly, we are the vanguard of reinforcements sent by the deputy marshal, if you let the deputy marshal know, you will all have to walk around without eating." Qin Yi'an, who pretended to be an officer of Xichuan, yelled in a grumpy manner.

The deputy marshal is Chen Jingxun, that is, Chen Jingxuan's own brother, who serves as the assassin of Zizhou, and calls himself the deputy marshal, and the people below are also called so.

Of course, Chen Jingxuan didn't say that he wanted to set up Chen Jingxun as the queen or anything, this was just Chen Jingxun's wishful thinking, but Chen Jingxuan didn't object, so the Xichuan army called it down.

Qin Yi'an is a native of Chengdu Mansion, and his Chengdu accent, coupled with his temper and Chen Jingxun's name, really frightened the defenders on the city tower.

The soldiers next to him saw that the Xichuan defenders had not moved for a long time, and they were still a little worried, but Qin Yi'an waved his hand and signaled to stabilize. Through the afterglow, he found that the defenders on the castle tower were not as guarded as they were just now, and obviously believed his words, but he still had to come out to confirm, after all, the situation was special these days.

"Click!"

Suddenly, the gates opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and dozens of defenders poured out of the gates, all armed with weapons in hand.

An officer in armor walked out with the support of the soldiers, and Qin Yi'an immediately jumped off his horse and strode forward.

"Brother is really the deputy marshal's man?" The person who came looked wary.

"Can it be fake? What are you doing here? It wasn't so troublesome before, but now it's so inky when you enter a city gate? Qin Yi'an didn't have any tokens or anything like that, so he took the initiative and took the initiative.

The person who came was stunned for a moment, and his face was a little unhappy, but he still held back, "Don't blame me, brother, this is also my duty." During this time, the cavalry of the Tiance Army caused trouble to Chengdu Mansion, isn't this afraid that they will infiltrate Chengdu? ”

"Sneaking into Chengdu Mansion? What do you defenders do? Could it be that with such a high wall, you can't hold it? Qin Yi'an pursed his lips and mocked.

The person who came was a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject, "Brother, take out your paperwork and read it, and then I can let you in." ”

"No problem."

Qin Yi'an didn't have any paperwork, but he still pretended to have it, touched his waist, and made a gesture to the subordinates behind him who were ready to do it.

At this moment, the guard general suddenly found the blood stains on Qin Yi'an's cloth armor, and hurriedly shouted, "Wait, what's the matter with your bloodstains?" ”

"Bloodstains?" Qin Yi'an looked down and found that the cloth armor on his body did have blood stains, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed, it was black just now, and he didn't pay attention to it, who would have thought that this blood stain was so obvious.

Seeing that the other party was a little suspicious, he hurriedly explained, "Halfway with... ”

"When! While! While! ”

Suddenly, there was a rapid bell from the south tower, and then someone shouted, and suddenly there was a crowd of people near the city wall.

"There is an enemy!"

I don't know if it was a shout, which instantly attracted the attention of the defenders in front of him. However, the guard of the city gate thought that the identities of these people in front of him were also a little suspicious, and before he could react, a cold light flashed, and then a person's head fell to the ground and rolled down a few times.

"Do it! Take the gates! ”

Qin Yi'an's movements instantly attracted the attention of the city gate defenders, some of them killed Qin Yi'an and the others, and the rest ran towards the city gate.

At this moment, Qin Yi'an roared, his horizontal knife flew, cutting off several surrounding enemy troops one after another, and then quickly rushed towards the city gate.

The Tiance army behind Qin Yi'an also swarmed up, and directly took off the bow and crossbow from behind, and shot at the defenders on the city tower to cover the actions of Qin Yi'an and others.

Although Qin Yi'an's martial arts are not very good, his momentum is quite bluffing, coupled with years of combat, don't look at his usual politeness, but on the battlefield, he is not inferior to other fierce generals.

Qin Yi'an's example inspired the surrounding Tiance Army soldiers, and he killed the defenders at the city gate in one fell swoop.

The defenders of the city gate are not elite, and the elite have gone to encircle and suppress the cavalry of the Tiance Army, where they have seen such a brave army.

Seeing that he and the other lieutenants and the team were dying in the hands of these people one after another, they were so frightened that they scattered and fled, and they didn't know who shouted, and a swarm of bees ran away.

So Qin Yi'an led two battalions of soldiers to seize the city gate, and cooperated with Pei Du to occupy the nearby city wall.

With the city gate opened, Zhao Xiong led the remaining cavalry to kill in, seeing these cavalry, the Xichuan defenders in the city were frightened, and they all hated why their parents didn't give them two more legs in the first place.

After Qin Yi'an and the others arrived, everyone quickly got on their horses, except for leaving two battalions to defend the city gate, the others followed Zhao Xiong into Chengdu City.

The sound of horses' hooves echoed in the streets of Chengdu Mansion, and more than a thousand cavalrymen split on both sides, while Zhao Xiong was surrounded by everyone and came to the middle.

Seeing that this supposedly strong Chengdu City was actually attacked by him so easily, his heart was suddenly full of pride.

"Commander, what now? Do you want to kill Chen Jingxuan's mansion directly and capture this Xichuan Festival envoy alive. Pei Du asked.

"Naturally, we want to go, but we also have to announce that the Tiance Army has entered Chengdu Mansion. Soldiers were ordered to burn the gates along the way, but remember not to enter people's houses, not to loot, and not to move privately. ”

"Yes!"

After the order was given, more than a thousand cavalry split up, and it didn't take long for fires to burn everywhere in Chengdu Prefecture. I only heard the sound of the horses' hooves of the Tiance Army and the shouts of the soldiers of the Tiance Army in the streets and alleys, so the news of the Tiance Army's entry into Chengdu spread throughout Chengdu Prefecture, and everyone, including the Xichuan officials, was so frightened that they hid at home, did not dare to go out at all, and did not even dare to look at it.

When the Tiance army broke through the city, Chen Jingxuan was sleeping, and when he heard the report of the visitor, he couldn't believe it at that time.

However, seeing the flames of Chengdu Mansion, Chen Jingxuan's face was pale, and he didn't care about ordering a counterattack or anything, so he fled directly to Xicheng with a group of family members under the cover of his own soldiers.

Less than a quarter of an hour after Chen Jingxuan escaped, Zhao Xiong led nearly a thousand cavalry to Chen Jingxuan's mansion. There were Xichuan soldiers around constantly, but under the charge of the cavalry, they were not the enemy at all, and for a time Chengdu Mansion corpses were everywhere.

"Qiyu commanded the envoy, the Jiedu envoy's mansion was empty, and Chen Jingxuan had already run away before we arrived."

"What?" Zhao Xiong saw this huge festival envoy's mansion, and felt a little remorseful, he would have come over early when he knew it, but he didn't expect the other party to run so fast.

"Commander, it's time for us to withdraw. Otherwise, when the Xichuan army outside the city comes, we may be surrounded. Qin Yi'an reminded.

The strength of the cavalry is in the wilderness, and in the streets of such an urban area, if the cavalry is surrounded, there is only one way to die.

Zhao Xiong naturally knew this truth, but when he saw the Jiedu Embassy in front of him, he was a little unwilling, and he was ruthless in his heart, and said sharply, "Set fire to this Jiedu Embassy for me." ”

"Yes!"

After the fire of the Jiedu Embassy was ignited, Zhao Xiong led his cavalry out of Chengdu City from the east gate. And Chen Jingxuan came back with thousands of soldiers, and when he saw the charred Jiedu Embassy, his throat was exchanged for a hot stream, and then he vomited a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground unconscious.
