Chapter 708: Trick into opening the city gate

While speaking, Yin Xianzu and the building on duty came to the edge of the women's wall and looked out of the city, a large part of the cavalry of the cadre army lined up outside the city, and several squads galloped along the city wall outside the city.

Before the cadre army formation, Liang Yi instructed the adjutant general: "Look at the soldiers, you are not allowed to act privately without an order, and the general will go and talk to them!" โ€

"Yes, General!"

Liang Yi took two people to the city wall and shouted to the city tower: "I am Liang Yi, the vanguard of the southern expedition of the Qianguo, please come out and answer the guard!" โ€

Yin Xianzu had to say loudly: "I am Yin Xianzu, the general of Xingyang, what does General Liang have to say?" โ€

"You and our two countries signed a contract of non-aggression against each other three years ago, and now your country openly tears up the contract and invades our territory, which is an unkind and unjust act. If the general Tian is shameless and wants to continue to occupy the land of our Qianguo and enslave the people of our Qianguo, the general and the officers and men of the whole army will surely share the same hatred and hatred for the enemy, and vow to drive you back to Jiangnan! โ€

Yin Xianzu was extremely angry, and said angrily: "You are simply deceiving people too much, Henan was originally my Great Song Dynasty territory, just because the Northern Wei Dynasty brutally robbed the land of Henan, and now my Great Song Dynasty has recovered its own land, how did it become a violation of your Qianguo territory?" โ€

Liang Yi laughed: "It was the Northern Wei Dynasty that robbed you of your land, you went to the Northern Wei Dynasty, what do you have to do with my country?" A few years ago, you and I have already signed a contract, and your country has recognized that Luoyu, Jeju, Qizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou all belong to the territory of our Qianguo, but now your country destroys peace and raises troops to invade our territory, which is really treacherous, and will be spurned by the people of the world, and you are an unrighteous army, and will be defeated. If the general insists on going his own way and does not change his mistakes, then he will not blame the general for holding high the banner of righteousness to crusade against Vaer, etc.! โ€

Yin Xianzu was exhausted, and shouted cruel words: "Don't talk nonsense, you have the ability to attack the city, if Xingyang City is broken by you, you will lose and have nothing to say, but now what is the use of you beeping blindly?" This general is to occupy Xingyang City, what can you do with me? โ€

Liang Yi smiled angrily: "Okay, very good!" โ€

The vanguard cavalry of the 3,000 cadres left quickly under the leadership of Liang Yi, but Yin Xianzu did not dare to open the city gate, fearing that this was Liang Yi's deception.

In fact, the 3,000 cavalry led by Liang Yitong did not go far, but hid nearby and waited for the opportunity.

The east gate slowly opened a gap, and three cavalrymen came out of the crack in the gate and galloped west.

At this moment, a group of cadres and rangers happened to come from the north and found the three Southern Dynasty cavalry, and when the leader saw this, he immediately shouted: "It's the Southern Dynasty messenger, follow me and intercept them!" โ€

Ten cavalrymen galloped on horseback and crossed from the north as fast as they could.

The chief of the Southern Dynasty messengers who was sent out to report to the reinforcement generals saw the Qianguo cavalry coming from the flank, and was immediately shocked, "It's not good, it's the Qianjun cavalry!" Go, pick up, hurry, hurry! โ€

Just as the so-called southerners operate boats and northerners ride horses, the southerners really can't be compared with the northerners in terms of horsemanship, the cavalry of the cadre army threw out the cavalry of the southern dynasty a few streets in terms of horsemanship, and the cavalry of the cadre army rode on good horses, and the speed was faster than that of the cavalry of the southern dynasty, and it did not take long for the cavalry of the cadre army to catch up with the messengers of the southern dynasty.

"Whoosh" three sharp arrows shot out, two messengers from the south fell off their horses, only one was so frightened that the soul was frightened, and after running for dozens of steps, it was also bad luck and was killed by a sharp arrow.

The Qianguo rangers stopped, and three soldiers jumped off their horses and searched the three corpses, searching for some copper coins and dry rations, but nothing else.

"Boss, I haven't found anything except these copper coins and dry food!"

The commander of the army said: "They must have brought a message, just kill them!" Old Five, you go back and report to the general what happened just now! โ€

"Good!"

Fang Cai's scene was clearly seen by the defenders on the city wall, and the news was quickly sent to Yin Xianzu, "General, the messenger you sent out on the way to the east city gate was intercepted and killed by the rangers of the cadre army outside the city, and none of them ran out!" โ€

Yin Xianzu felt that things were not good when he heard it, if the news that reinforcements were coming from Xingyang City was learned by the cadres, wouldn't it be very dangerous for the reinforcements? He immediately asked: "Has anyone been taken prisoner?" โ€

"The news from the soldiers on the western city wall is that the messengers have been killed by the Cadre Army Rangers, and there should be no prisoners!"

Yin Xianzu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, as long as the news was not known by the cadres, he still had the opportunity to pass the news to the reinforcements, so as to prevent the reinforcements from crashing into the arms of the cadres.

Liang Yi soon got the rangers to intercept and kill several Southern Korean army messengers outside the West City Gate, and he pondered, why did Yin Xianzu send messengers to Hugao with confidence? Could it be that they called for help because the city's defenses were insufficient? Or has Shen Qingzhi, the general of the Western Route Army of the Southern Dynasty, sent reinforcements and is on his way to Xingyang?

Liang Yi quickly vetoed the first possibility, this has not started yet, it is not reasonable to ask for help now, so the first possibility is ruled out.

This shows that Shen Qingzhi, who is attacking the Tiger Prison Pass, sent reinforcements, and the reinforcements should not be very many, otherwise Shen Qingzhi's own troops should be insufficient.

Liang Yi called the deputy general and ordered: "You bring a thousand people to stay and keep an eye on the Xingyang defenders, and I will take the remaining two thousand people to meet the reinforcements of the Southern Dynasty, if the Southern Dynasty army in the city dares to come out, give me a hard beating!" โ€

"Yes, General!"

After the explanation, Liang Yi quickly led 2,000 cavalry to the west, and after marching for less than an hour, Liang Yi's army collided head-on with a Southern Korean army, with more than 2,000 people on the other side, all of whom were infantry.

"Hahaha, there are really reinforcements!"

Liang Yi was overjoyed and shouted at the officers and soldiers: "Brothers, the enemy army has more than 2,000 people, all of them are foot soldiers, and our army is all cavalry, this is the credit of sending it to the door, rush over to me!" โ€

The cavalry of the cadre army was greatly excited, and their morale was suddenly high, and the reinforcements of the Southern Dynasty who came from the opposite side saw a large number of cavalry of the cadre army rushing in front of them, and immediately stopped and did not leave.

The reinforcements of the Southern Dynasty were in great confusion, and a general anxiously ordered the command to line up to meet the enemy, but the Southern Korean soldiers were panicked and frightened one by one, and the speed of the formation was much slower than usual, and at this moment the cavalry of the Qianjun army came over.

First, several successive rounds of arrows rained down to make the Southern Dynasty soldiers and generals even more confused, and then the cavalry of the cadre army rushed over and easily crushed the Southern Korean reinforcements with more than 2,000 people.

After the battle, in addition to a large number of dead bodies on the battlefield, there were also many seriously wounded wounded, and these wounded were howling in pain one by one.

A general-like captive was escorted to Liang Yi by several fierce armor soldiers.

"General, this should be the leading general of the Southern Korean reinforcements!"

Liang Yi saw that this guy was not very strong, and he looked a little thin, so he asked, "What's your name?" โ€

The Southern Dynasty general looked at Liang Yi with fear and timidity, "Hui, General Hui, my name is Liu Shuren."

"Liu Shuren? Liu Yuanjing, who are you? โ€

Liu Shuren hurriedly said: "It's my brother!" โ€

Liang Yi's face changed, and he shouted: "Come on, drag it down and cut it down!" โ€

Liu Shuren was so frightened that he was urinating, and shouted and begged for mercy: "The general spares his life, spares his life, the villain is willing to surrender, he is willing to surrender!" โ€

When Liang Yi heard Liu Shuren's appearance, his heart moved, and he raised his hand: "Stop!" โ€

A few armor soldiers dragging Liu Shuren stopped, and Liang Yi walked over and asked, "Liu Shuren, do you want to die or live?" โ€

Liu Shuren hurriedly said: "If you want to live, you want to live!" โ€

Liang Yi showed a smile on his face: "As long as you are obedient and obedient, General Ben guarantees that you can live, and you can also be prosperous and rich!" Come, take him down, let him have a full meal! โ€

At night, a group of soldiers and horses quietly came to the west gate of Xingyang City.

The defenders on the city wall found out, and immediately someone shouted: "What man? โ€

A response voice came from outside the city: "I'm Liu Shuren, General Shen sent me to bring troops to reinforce, don't open the city gate quickly!" โ€

The soldiers on the tower of the city looked at each other, how is this good? To open or not to open? Or do you want to report to Yin Xianzu?

"General, do you want to open the gates and let them in? Time can't wait too long, the cavalry of the dry army should not be far from here, once they hear the movement, they will suffer! A general asked the guard of the West City Gate.

The gate keeper shouted to the city, "Can General Liu come forward with a torch?" โ€

The two cavalrymen behind Liu Shuren followed him closely, secretly aimed at him with their crossbows, and one of them shouted in a low voice: "Don't play tricks, or I will shoot you!" โ€

Liu Shuren didn't dare to have the slightest misdemeanor, he took a few steps forward with a torch, and the guards on the city tower saw his appearance clearly, confirmed that it was him, and immediately ordered to open the city gate, and at the same time went to Yin Xianzu to report.

"Squeak ยทยทยทยทยทยท" A tooth-wrenching sound rang out, the moat drawbridge was opened, and the gates were slowly lowered.

"Let's go, let's go into town!" Liu Shuren shouted under the threat of the two armor soldiers behind him with crossbows, and stepped across the suspension bridge first.

Hidden among the soldiers, Liang Yi saw the city gate wide open, immediately pulled out his weapon and shouted: "Meritorious service is at this time, brothers, kill with me!" โ€

"Killโ€”" The cadres and soldiers dressed as the Southern Korean army poured into the city gate with their weapons, and the battle began, and the sound of shouting and killing, screaming, roaring, and the sound of weapons resonating spread.

The West City Gate soon fell, and when the 2,000 cadres dressed as reinforcements from the Southern Dynasty rushed into the city, 1,000 cavalry followed.

"The first, second, third, and fourth go to the three gates of the southeast and north respectively, control the three gates as fast as possible, and do not let anyone go! The fourth, fifth, and sixth buildings are responsible for clearing the Southern Dynasty soldiers patrolling the streets, and the others will follow me to attack the Taishou Mansion! โ€

Under Liang Yi's order, the cadres and generals began to act separately, and the entire Xingyang City was in chaos, and the sound of fighting was heard everywhere.
