That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the entire Zhenjiang City was shrouded in a thick night, only the sparse torches on the city wall revealed a faint light.

Originally, there were few torches on the city wall of Zhenjiang City, but the defenders in the city received news this afternoon that the Ming army was coming, just in the Xinxing fishing port in the south, in order to prevent the Ming army from sneaking up at night, the guard general Mo Lehong specially ordered people to light torches on the city wall, but they didn't have much lamp oil to burn, so they could only light one every dozens of steps, so that the soldiers patrolling the city wall could at least faintly see the road, so as not to walk and hit the wall.

At this time, Molehun was patrolling the southern city wall, he really couldn't sleep, and in the afternoon, he didn't know who spread the news that a large number of Ming troops had appeared in the new fishing port in the south.

When he received the news and sent someone to ask, he found out that there were already two teams of foot soldiers who went to the fishing port to inspect and there was no news!

He immediately sent scouts to the fishing port to investigate, as a result, all the scouts have gone and have not returned, until now he does not know how many Ming troops have come, he can only send people to Dingliao right guard to ask for help, and at the same time ordered people to close the city gate, and pulled all his men up the city wall.

As a result, I waited for an afternoon and didn't see a shadow of the Ming army, which was really inexplicable.

Despite this, he still did not dare to slack off, and at night he not only arranged for many people to patrol the city wall, but also personally came to the south gate to inspect, for fear that the Ming army would sneak attack at night.

Zhenjiang City has a record of being attacked and broken by night, although more than ten years have passed, he does not dare to take it lightly, who knows if the Ming army will carry out another night attack this time.

He looked around the southern city wall, and saw that everything was normal on the city wall, and there was no movement under the city wall, so he relieved himself and went back to his house to sleep.

At this time, on the north city wall, a group of foot soldiers were constantly patrolling back and forth, and everything seemed to be normal, whether it was on the city wall or under the city wall, there was no movement at all, only their neat footsteps drifting in the night sky.

At this time, none of the patrolling foot soldiers thought that the Ming army would come to sneak attack, even if they wanted to sneak attack, it was a sneak attack on the south city wall, or the east and west city walls close to the south, this is the north, the Ming army is in the south, how can it be a sneak attack?

They almost all had this idea, so they didn't take it very seriously when they patrolled, they didn't look at the enemy as if they were facing a big enemy, they weren't careful, they just walked back and forth like a machine, and they didn't even bother to investigate under the walls, let alone on them.

If people are negligent, they are generally prone to accidents, just as they walked to the darkest place between the two torches, more than a dozen black shadows suddenly appeared in the dark corner, one of them covered the mouth of a patrol soldier, and then a cold light flashed, all the patrol soldiers were like roosters with their necks cut, and they twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

As soon as more than a dozen black shadows on this side put down the corpse, Wang Er over there rushed out from another corner with more than a dozen people, ran quickly to a torch, picked up the torch, shook it in the air, and then ordered all the elites of the special operations battalion to unload the ropes on their backs, put one end on the arrow stack, and drop the city wall on the other.

Soon, countless black shadows climbed the city wall along the ropes, and in less than a tea time, nearly a thousand people gathered on the entire northern city wall, which was already equivalent to the Houjin foot soldiers guarding the city!

Li Dingguo learned a little about the situation in the city, and then ordered: "Zhang Cha, you take six teams of elite special operations battalions to kill Wang Er from the east city wall to the south city wall, you take six teams of elite special operations battalions from the west city wall to Chen Zhong from the south city wall, you take me to the military camp in the city." ”

With his order, Zhang Cha and Wang Er led six teams of elite special operations battalions to run towards the east and west city walls, while he followed Chen Zhong with eight hundred elite foot soldiers, ran down the city wall, and went straight to the military camp in the city.

This night, Zhenjiang City can be described as very lively, first there was a shout of killing on the city wall, and then there was a louder shouting of killing in the direction of the military camp in the city, this shouting and killing sound has been intermittent for more than an hour, until the ugly time slowly stopped.

After the shouting and killing stopped, the city was not quiet, and from time to time there would be a sound of orders and neat footsteps in the night sky, as if the southern gate had been opened.

At this time, Zhang Bin was sitting around a big fire with Ai Nengqi, Wang Shangli and Bai Wenxuan and other generals, in order to reduce weight, they rushed to Zhenjiang quickly, they didn't even bring tents, at this time they could only camp in the wild, fortunately the weather was not very cold at this time, and it was still very warm to build a fire and roast.

It's not cold on this day, but it's a little hard to survive this night, especially when it's ugly, it's the time when people are most likely to get sleepy, Ai Nengqi, Wang Shangli and Bai Wenxuan, these young generals' heads are already like quails, and they all point down, and they seem to be asleep while sitting, only Zhang Bin is still sitting there, looking up to the north from time to time.

He is excited, if he takes Zhenjiang today, he will be able to surround the right guard of Liao tomorrow, and more than sixty percent of the land in Liaodong will be recovered by him, can he not be excited.

He looked up and didn't know how many times he looked to the north, and finally a group of black shadows appeared on the north avenue, and this leeward flat ground was full of fires at this time, and the group of black shadows asked a few places before finding the right direction and ran directly towards him.

It was Zhang Cha and a team of elites of the special operations battalion who came, and as soon as he ran to the fire, he excitedly bowed his hand to Zhang Bin and said, "My lord, Zhenjiang City has been taken." ”

"Okay." , Zhang Bin jumped up from the ground excitedly, and then shouted: "Get up, get up, it's dawn." “

"Ahh , Ai Nengqi and the other young generals opened their eyes in a daze, and looked up, it was not dawn yet, could it be that the adults were joking with them!

Zhang Bin was indeed joking with them, Zhenjiang City was won, he was in a good mood, and couldn't help but joke with these little guys, when he saw these little guys in a daze, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahahaha, I lied to you, it's not dawn yet, but Zhenjiang City has been taken." ”

When everyone heard that Zhenjiang City had been taken, they jumped up from the ground excitedly, and they all became energetic, as if they were not the ones who dozed off just now.

Zhang Bin rubbed his face excitedly, and then ordered: "Nengqi, you take your men and horses and Dingguo's men to Zhenjiang City with me, and set off now, Shangli and Wenxuan, you take your men and horses to wait here, before noon, the chariots, horses, and grain and grass will definitely arrive, and you will be sent to Zhenjiang City immediately after receiving these materials." By the way, pay attention to rest, before noon, just arrange a few people to take turns on duty, anyway, there are no enemies near Zhenjiang. ”

All the generals bowed their hands together and obeyed the order, Zhang Bin set off with 20,000 horses under Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo, this night march is really troublesome, it is dark and dark, and the road can not be seen clearly, fortunately, Zhenjiang City is not far from the fishing port, and the fire is ready-made, and a person can barely see the road with one.

The 20,000 army tossed for half an hour and finally arrived at Zhenjiang City, at this time, the sky had already shown a glimmer of dawn, Zhang Bin greeted the dawn, looking at Zhenjiang City with the city gate wide open, and couldn't help but show a bright smile on his face.

The Ming Dynasty has been weak for a long time, and finally the dawn has reappeared, Zhenjiang City has been taken, as long as the right guard of Dingliao is taken again, more than sixty percent of the land in Liaodong will be recovered, and no matter how Jiannu can jump, it will not be long before he jumps.
