Chapter 488: Darkness Chen Cang Takes Yingzhou

The army set out, mighty and mighty, like a giant dragon out of the abyss.

The soldiers defending the city on the city walls looked at this mighty army.

How they wish they were one of them, but the task of defending the city is just as important, and they must stick to their posts.

They can only send their most sincere wishes, hoping that they can start victorious.

However, they didn't seem to have any worries, maybe because it was their martial master who led the troops to the battle, they were inexplicably full of confidence.

The soldiers raised their eyes to say goodbye, and naturally these people in Zhigu Village were indispensable.

There were many people standing under the walls of Dawu, and they also bid farewell to this team.

There were their relatives in the ranks, and although they couldn't see their loved ones, they didn't mind sending their blessings to the entire army.

However, it seems that even if their relatives are in the army, they are more thinking about hoping that their martial arts people can be safe.

The march was not very fast, but with the passage of time, this army of 120,000 men had disappeared from their sights.

When the army disappears, they should also be busy and create a different Zhigu village.

When they triumph, they will be able to see the new Zhigu Village.

Almost ten days have passed, and the army is about to reach the first place they are going to attack... Yingzhou.

Yingzhou is the closest state to Jinghai County in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and it will definitely be the first place they attack.

When there was about a day or so left before Yingzhou's trip, Wu Dalang ordered to set up camp and start resting.

Rest and recuperation is only one aspect, the most important thing is that Wu Dalang wants to have a meeting to discuss the way to attack.

Wu Dalang called Song Jiang, Yang Zaixing, Yue Fei and other generals to the big tent.

"Yingzhou is coming soon, do you have any opinions on breaking the city?"

"My lord, there shouldn't be many defenders in Yingzhou, we can break through it directly, and it won't take much time." Yang Zaixing said.

"My lord, that's exactly the case, Yingzhou is close to Zhigu Village, our marching speed is much faster than the Liao army, I believe that the Liao army will definitely not have time to rescue, and there is no problem with direct attack." Song Jiang said.

"My lord, I think the city gate of Yingzhou is definitely not as strong as our Dawu city gate, we bombarded it directly, and direct attack is indeed the fastest way to break the city." Wu Yong said.

.....

One after another generals said their own methods, but each method seemed to be a direct attack on Yingzhou.

Wu Dalang pressed his hand and motioned for these people to be quiet.

"You're right, there's nothing to discuss. If this were the case, I wouldn't have stopped in particular, and I would have marched directly to the Yingzhou City Gate and stationed there. ”

"The reason why I stopped was to take Yingzhou in a less costly and more convenient way. Now let me schedule the task. ”

"Yang Zaixing listens to orders." Wu Dalang suddenly shouted.

"The subordinates are here." Yang Zaixing stood up directly and said loudly.

"I order you to take 5,000 cavalry and artillery directly to Yingzhou at the third watch in the evening, bombard the city gate, and attack Yingzhou at night." Wu Dalang ordered.

"Command." Yang Zaixing said.

"Song Jiang listens to orders." Wu Dalang shouted.

"The subordinates are here." Song Jiang stood up.

"You set off at the first watch and quickly went to Yingzhou, after Yang Zaixing broke the city, you rushed to Yingzhou, pressed for Yang Zaixing, and completely won Yingzhou." Wu Dalang ordered.

"Command." Song Jiang said.

"Alright, that's all for the meeting, let's disperse." Wu Dalang waved his hand and said.

.....

After Wu Dalang finished speaking, everyone left one after another, and they didn't disturb Wu Dalang.

Night is falling.

At the appointed time, Song Jiang set off first with his team.

A few more hours later, Yang Zaixing also set off with his cavalry.

Even though Song Jiang set off relatively early, the speed of the cavalry was still faster, and they still surpassed Song Jiang's infantry halfway through.

When Yang Zaixing's cavalry was about to arrive outside the city of Yingzhou, they immediately dismounted, and then pushed the cannons and slowly approached the city gate, they didn't want to alarm the soldiers defending the city.

The soldiers in Yingzhou now don't know that they are in danger.

The generals defending the city in Yingzhou have already sent spies out, and they have learned that Wu Dalang is camped far away, and it is impossible to get to Yingzhou today, he must rest for a night, and he will come here tomorrow.

Therefore, the soldiers in Yingzhou didn't care, they all felt that they could have a good rest tonight, and the battle would not start until tomorrow.

But how did they know that Wu Dalang was camped in the distance to show them at all, and he sent soldiers to attack at night overnight.

This move was dark, and the guards of Yingzhou didn't expect it at all.

Or he didn't think much about it, because in the eyes of the Yingzhou guards, Wu Dalang and they have an absolute advantage, and they will not engage in this kind of sneak attack trick.

But Wu Dalang has always been a guy who doesn't play cards according to common sense.

If Yingzhou can be taken with fewer casualties, Wu Dalang will of course be very happy.

It was very dark, and if you didn't pay attention, you couldn't see that there were still a few soldiers under the city pushing a cannon that had approached the city gate.

The cannon did not push very close to the city gate, and when it reached the range of the cannon, it stopped.

After the artilleryman adjusted the cannon, it began to fire.

"Boom..."

With a loud bang, the city gate was blasted open in an instant.

The walls seemed to be shaking, and the soldiers on the walls were still a little confused, they didn't know what was happening, it seemed like an earthquake.

But just as they were stunned, Yang Zaixing and the others also began to attack.

Yang Zaixing jumped on the horse and shouted loudly: "The city gate has been broken, kill me with me." ”

Five thousand cavalry rushed towards the city gate in an instant.

With the sound of horses' hooves, the soldiers defending the city knew that it was the enemy army attacking the city.

"Enemy attack..."

"Enemy attack..."

"Enemy attack..."

......

The soldiers began to shout in panic as they tried to close the gates, only to find that they had turned into a pile of sawdust.

Yang Zaixing took the lead, jumped directly from the city gate, raised the steel gun, and stabbed a soldier to death on the spot.

Confusion began to erupt in the city, and all voices were intertwined, and it was impossible to hear who was saying what.

After a while, Song Jiang also came to the outside of the city with his 10,000 infantry, and when he saw that the city gate was wide open and the fire was rising inside, he immediately shouted.

"Kill me and kill all the Liao soldiers."

"Kill..."

"Kill..."

"Kill..."

......

Song Jiang and the others rested for a while halfway, although it was not the time when they were most physically strong, but their spirits were definitely the most excited.

It was this excitement that made them forget their fatigue and began to sprint towards the city like wolves.

The voices in the city became louder, after all, there were 10,000 more shouts of killing.

And tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Because, it's a killing night.
