"Enemy attack!" Looking at the figure with a crossbow that appeared on the roof more than ten steps away, Xu Dingguo shouted bitterly, pulling the reins with his hand, trying to pull up the war horse to cover his body. But where is the time?

More than ten crossbow arrows were all shot at Xu Dingguo, even if he wanted to hide, he couldn't dodge, Xu Dingguo felt a sharp pain all over his body, and his consciousness suddenly blurred.

"Protect the General!" was suddenly attacked, and some of the personal soldiers he brought with him surrounded him, trying to cover Xu Dingguo with his body. The other took off their weapons and looked around for the enemy.

"On the roof!" A sharp-eyed soldier shouted as he pointed to the houses on both sides of the street. So some of the soldiers tried to fight back, while others rode their horses and rushed towards the courtyard where the house was located.

"How?" Liu Neng peeked out from the roof of the house and watched the effect of the crossbow attack.

"The thief was hit by at least six or seven arrows, and he couldn't survive." The subordinate dog said with a grin.

"Withdraw!" Liu Neng waved his hand, put away the crossbow, and slid down the roof. The other soldiers of the Enemy Intelligence Division followed suit, and slid into the courtyard and fell to the ground.

Running quickly into the courtyard, several long ladders were erected on the inner courtyard wall, and climbed up the wall along the long ladder, jumping into the courtyard next door, and the last one on the wall went up the ladder.

At the same time, Xu Dingguo's personal soldiers were slamming the courtyard gate. But the courtyard door has been inserted from the inside, and where can it be opened in a hurry.

"General, general!" More than a dozen pro-soldiers surrounded Xu Dingguo and cried out in grief, but Xu Dingguo's eyes were closed, and blood flowed down six or seven wounds. Looking at the arrows stuck in him, none of the relatives dared to pull them out.

"Hurry up and find the best Lang Zhong in Guide to the two people, and the others will catch the assassin for Lao Tzu and avenge the lord!" Xu Dingguo's family leader, Xu Ding, shouted angrily.

Some Pegasus went looking for Langzhong, and the rest of the people found a log and began to ram the door of the Assassin's courtyard.

The sound of "bang bang" sounded one after another, and after more than a dozen loud bangs, the courtyard gate collapsed, and the angry soldiers rushed into the courtyard and rushed into the room, but there was no trace of the assassin.

"I guess I jumped over the wall and jumped next door." Some of the clever soldiers quickly figured out where the Assassins might be going, so some of them made a detour to the gate of the next courtyard, while others searched for ladders and tried to climb over the wall.

Liu Neng led his subordinates to climb over two courtyard walls in a row, and when they arrived in another alley, a group of more than ten people removed the black overcoats on their bodies, revealing the shabby military uniforms inside. Whether it is the style of the military uniform or the degree of tatters, it is comparable to the Ming army in the city. So the group swaggered down the street toward the south gate with weapons in hand.

I didn't go far before I saw more than a dozen cavalrymen galloping around the courtyard next door and slamming on the courtyard gate.

Liu Neng smiled coldly and led his men towards the city gate.

Xu Dingguo was assassinated, and there will be chaos in Germany. In addition, the Eight Banners will arrive soon, and it is already very dangerous to stay in the city.

But when he was about to reach the south gate, he saw a horse running wildly and had entered the south gate urn city, and with the cavalry rushing in, the city gate was slowly closing.

However, this is not difficult for Liu Neng, because there are two water gates on both sides of the south city gate that lead directly to the moat outside the city.

These two gates are the same as the ditches in the city, and are used for flood drainage. The moat outside the south gate is a mile wide and undulating, and it is connected to the lake outside the city.

At the water gate, Liu Neng prepared two small boats early and tied them there.

The Water Gate was also guarded by the Ming army, but when they saw the arrival of Liu Neng and others, several Ming soldiers ignored it, but took the initiative to untie the rope that tied the boat and opened the iron fence blocking the Water Gate.

Liu Neng commanded his men to open a half-zhang wide gap in the iron fence, and the boat went out of the water gate through the gap and went straight into the moat.

Guide City is more than three zhang high, the circumference is more than eight miles, there is a moat around the outside of the city, the south side of the moat is the widest and wide up to one mile, and the narrow place in the north also has eight zhang. And there is a small lake in the southeast outside the city, which was left by digging soil when the moat was built during the Hongzhi period, and the lake is connected with the moat, which makes the defense of Guide City extremely strong.

Such a city, if you really defend it, it is very difficult to break through. However, the city has long been separated from morality, and it is impossible to gather the courage to defend it, and it will fall sooner or later.

Riding a small boat and looking at the Guide City behind him, Liu Neng could only sigh deeply. Abandon the boat and go ashore, and walk another mile, which is the outer Guo of Guide City, which is actually a moat embankment with a circumference of 20 miles.

To the north of Guide is the Yellow River, which is often flooded in these years. During the Hongzhi period, the Yellow River broke, and the city of Guide was submerged in the boiling yellow water. The current Guide is a new castle built during the Hongji period. In order to prevent the flood, a circular moat embankment was built that was twenty miles long.

The base of the earthen embankment is 20 meters wide, the top is 7 meters wide, 5 meters high, the top of the earthen embankment is almost flush with the Guide City, standing at the top can see the streets and houses in the city, Liu Neng and his party silently looked at the city, and there was a faint sound of commotion in the city. Xu Dingguo was assassinated, and his subordinates would inevitably react, and at this time they should be desperately searching for assassins in the city. And with the discipline of the Ming army, it is inevitable to disturb the people.

And the governor Yue Qijie and the prefect Yuan Shu of Guide are probably powerless to stop the riots.

Yue Qijie and Yuan Shu are still good officials, at least in the face of the attack of the Eight Banners, these two people are still thinking about how to defend the city, instead of crying and surrendering.

Let's hope they get out of the city! Liu Neng silently blessed.

"My lord, what should we do next?" The subordinate dog looked at Liu Neng with admiration on his face.

Xu Dingguo was heavily protected by dozens of personal soldiers, and in this case, he was able to successfully assassinate and withdraw from the city without a single person, which seemed simple but actually required careful planning.

And from knowing that Xu Dingguo would lead troops out of the city to the implementation of the action, there was only less than an hour in between. Planning a successful assassination in such a short period of time is enough to prove Liu Neng's ability.

The success of the assassination operation made the officers and men of the enemy intelligence department admire their leaders very much.

"We can't hold on to Germany, there's no point in staying here, let's withdraw to Yangzhou!" Liu Neng said resolutely.

The Manchu army had already figured out the strength of the army, and the mission of this trip had been completed. It's time to go back to Yangzhou.

"But the five sons haven't withdrawn yet?" The dog reminded.

Wuzi and others were sent to defend the city in the Ming army, lurking in Xu Dingguo's army and Li Jiyu's army.

"They don't retreat with us, it's still useful to stay there." Liu Neng said lightly. The meticulous work that had been sent into the enemy army with great difficulty could not be easily withdrawn.

"Dog, you stay outside Guide City and are responsible for liaising with the five sons. The others followed me back to Yangzhou. Liu Neng commanded.
