Xia Xue saw that everyone was in very good condition, and then looked at the sky. At this time, there were large dark clouds in the sky, the moon and stars were all covered, and the sky was suddenly so dark that it seemed like a pot lid had been buttoned. The moon is dark and the wind is high, and this is the best time to sneak attack.

Xia Xue made a quick decision and ordered the three brothers of the Zhao family to lead a hundred elite guards to attack Changxi City at night. He led 400 escorts and backup members to respond in the rear.

The three brothers, Zhao Ning, Zhao Feng, and Zhao Quan, happily accepted the order, and quietly approached the county seat of Changxi with a hundred elite guards and four cloud ladders. has already touched the tip of the nose of Changxi County, and the Sui defenders in the city are still unaware.

Zhao Ning looked up at the dark sky and the city wall, and jumped into the moat with the guards, the water in the moat was only waist-deep, but the river water in autumn and winter was really a little cold, and the young men of the escort team gritted their teeth, and the moat was more than ten steps wide, and they swam across it in a blink of an eye.

On the wide city wall, only ten Sui soldiers patrolled, and four of them were still lazy and dozing. Four Sui soldiers were curled up and sleeping against the battlements of the city wall, their heavy iron helmets and shields at their sides, and their spears against the roots of the breastwork behind them.

In the county town of Changxi, all the sounds are silent, the dark and dreary night sky is covered with a cloud of black mess, not to mention the stars, even the moonlight can not be seen, the county seat of this era still retains the night ban system of the Sui Dynasty, but whenever it is night, the squares in the city are closed one after another, idlers are prohibited from walking around on the street, there are patrols along the street Ding Wuhou patrol and guard, one is to prevent fire, the other is to prevent thieves, the city gate around is locked, the suspension bridge is dragged up, and it can be reopened only after dawn.

After crossing the river, Zhao Ning quickly asked people to secretly put four ladders on the city wall, and then led eighty guards with Zhao Quan to quietly climb up.

Several Sui soldiers who were dozing off the battlements of the city wall were awakened by the sound, and stood up in a daze and looked out of the city. The soldiers on patrol also rushed over with the voice.

The women's fence on the three-zhang high wall was only waist-high, and the upper bodies of these defenders were exposed outside the protection of the wall. None of them were wearing armor, their shields and helmets were all on the ground, and their waist knives were still in their sheaths, so they had no sense of battle.

Zhao Feng led twenty escorts to stand in a row under the city, and raised the bow and crossbow in his hand against the ten enemy soldiers who stood out in the lights on the city.

The patrolling Sui officer shouted, and he realized that something was wrong—

With a dense sound of breaking the sky. A row of arrows with extremely high kinetic energy flew up to the city, and immediately there was a scattered cry and shouting, eight of the ten defenders on the city fell, and the other two Sui soldiers who did not fall woke up from their hazy sleep in an instant. He then quickly fell to the ground to avoid the second wave of enemy arrows.

From the time the arrow was fired to this time, it was only half a moment, and the alarm bell had just sounded in the city.

The first to climb the city was Zhao Ning, who held a bow and crossbow in his left hand and a waist knife in his mouth.

A Sui soldier who had just fallen to the ground had just gotten up, and after hesitating for a long time whether to run down the city or stay in the city, Zhao Ning's upper body had already appeared on the outside of the city wall.

The Sui soldier had just pulled out the waist knife at this time, and before he could raise the knife, Zhao Ning shot an arrow, and in a hurry, the arrow passed through the lower abdomen of the Sui soldier, and pierced from behind his waist, he screamed and fell to the ground, Zhao Ning leaned forward, threw the bow and crossbow on the city with his left hand, took off the knife in his mouth, rolled forward, and stood up straight at the head of the city.

Zhao Ning did not hesitate. Standing up, he stepped over and slashed off the head of the Sui soldier who was rolling around in the city with his stomach covered.

At this time, his third brother Zhao Quan also climbed to the top of the city, and he shot an arrow at the Sui soldier who was screaming and running wildly, and the guy fell to the ground with a scream.

There was a commotion in the city tower, and a Sui army with the appearance of an officer was randomly draped in armor and carrying a waist knife, and rushed out in a panic.

Zhao Ning rushed forward with an arrow step, the white light flashed, and the fast-sharpened waist knife slashed diagonally into the neck of this Sui army officer from the gap in the neck of the armor, chopping his collarbone straight and chopping it all the way to the chest. Crushed the top three ribs and split the heart, lungs and other internal organs in half.

The viscous and fishy hot liquid splashed Zhao Ning's body, and the Sui army officer's right hand loosened, and his waist knife fell to the ground. A dying hiss followed.

At this time, the moon emerged from the dark clouds, the walls were sprinkled with blue and white moonlight, and the barracks in the distance were in a commotion. The sound of stray footsteps began to sound, and the sleeping enemy began to react.

Seven or eight more Sui troops rushed out of the city tower, and Zhao Quan and other guards behind Zhao Ning did not hesitate to pick up the bows and crossbows in their hands and shoot indiscriminately at the Sui army that had just rushed out.

At such a close distance, the chance of missing a shot was extremely small, only to hear a scream and scream, a Sui army two arrows hit him in the front of the head, this unlucky guy didn't even have time to make a sound, and fell to the ground like a rotten log.

Immediately, Zhao Ning led the guards to wave the waist knife in their hands and rushed towards the other Sui soldiers in the city tower.

Suddenly, there was a sound of continuous swords into flesh and weapons clashing in the tower.

There was a creaking sound of the wheel shaft turning at the head of the city, and it was Zhao Feng and other guards who had climbed to the head of the city turning the winch and lowering the drawbridge.

The Sui army in Changxi County was sleeping in a daze, when he suddenly heard the sound of killing on the city wall. He Qimin, the county commander, hurriedly led the Sui army to rush to the city wall, he was a thin figure, mediocre appearance, a beard stubble with a pale color, and a pair of dull triangular eyes with a gloomy atmosphere that could not be swept away. He was shocked to find that many enemies had climbed up on the city wall, and they were fighting with the Sui soldiers on duty, he was so shocked that he seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, his body was cold, his face was pale, his bloody lips were trembling, and he hurriedly commanded the Sui army to go up to support.

The enemy who was sneaking up on the city wall had not yet repulsed, and the Sui army suddenly heard the sound of killing in the city again. The county magistrate He Qimin's face turned from gray to pale, and a coldness that had never been seen before rose from the soles of his feet to his abdomen, gathering in his abdomen, creating a strong pressure, making him feel the urgency to urinate, and his dim triangular eyes were full of horror. "Why are there still enemies in the city?"

It turned out that 100 black-clothed guards such as Dugu Jun and Pan Jiang who were hidden in the city should join forces inside and outside, and quickly killed the city gate guards, and with the sound of the squeaky door shaft turning, the city gate opened......

In the darkness in the distance, Xia Xue breathed a sigh of relief and gave an order: "All the guards will rush into the city and crush all resistance!" After dawn, we will have breakfast in the mansion of Linghe Qimin in Changxi County......"

"Kill! The shouts of hundreds of people resounded through the valley, and flocks of birds were awakened by the tsunami-like shouts of the mountain, and flew away from the branches of the trees they roosted on......

Xia Xue, Li Jing, Hongfu Nu, Ouyang brothers and sisters led many guards to take advantage of the situation to enter Changxi County, and the Sui army was defeated.

The county commander He Qimin and the Sui military captain and other generals were killed in the melee, more than 800 Sui troops were killed, more than 200 people were killed, more than 400 surrendered, and more than 200 scattered and fled. Xia Xue handed over the surrendered Sui army to Li Jing for reorganization and training, and immediately ordered 100 guards and 200 backup members to stay in Changxi Village, and the rest of the personnel, including the craftsmen of the armory, moved to the new escort headquarters base - Changxi County.
