Zhenyi's housekeeper had just fallen asleep for a short time, just because the big house asked for by the Song merchant named Feng Ji today had been dimly lit, and the lamps and candles were expensive, which made the housekeeper feel extremely distressed. He had the heart to remind everyone that they should remember to blow out the lamp when they went to bed, but he was afraid of those fierce and vicious subordinates, so he didn't dare to act.

After tossing and turning for half a night, he couldn't help but get up, and after pushing the door out in his kudzu clothes, he found that the dog tied to the yard did not move.

He was suddenly furious: "These horsemen actually drunk and killed the dog who was guarding the house!" ”

The housekeeper took three steps and made two steps, and was about to go over and knock on the door of the big house, but he saw that the inside was gently pushed open, and a group of mermaids rushed out, carrying blades that reflected the moonlight.

"There is ......"

The housekeeper was shocked, and was about to shout "there is a thief", but was directly nailed to death by a short sword that flew with a whoosh, and after falling to the ground, his eyes were full of fear, his tongue was sticking out, and blood flowed all over the ground.

The eldest daughter of the housekeeper, who had been tossing and turning with another merchant for half the night, heard some movement, she came out of the side room with a lantern in her hand, and when she saw this, she sat by the door, almost fainted with fright, and then was rushed over by Feng Rin and covered her mouth tightly.

"If you don't want to die, don't scream!"

Feng Rin's heart was also trembling, secretly sighing that he still killed innocent people tonight, he took a crossbow light man who left behind for protection, kidnapped the woman and the merchant in her house and transferred into the living room, and closed the door tightly. They just need to wait quietly, but they don't know if it will be the military soldiers who will come to the door tomorrow morning, or the soldiers from Zhencheng......

Before entering the house, he also specially admonished Tian Bendao: "The brigade commander has words first, try to kill as few people as possible." ”

"I'll save it."

Tian Ben had already withdrawn the bloody short sword, wiped it on the clothes of the dead man, and asked the body to hide in the dark, and then when the merchant travelers in the pavilion were asleep and did not wake up, he led more than ten people along the way to the south gate of Zhenyi.

The others will go north in the dark, and they will light a fire near the Zhen clan in the north of the Yi to attract their soldiers. so that it could not rush to the south gate.

Everyone stepped on the moon and was discharged from the hospital, acting separately.

It was the second half of the night, and the lively streets during the day were empty, half a quarter later. Tian Ben and the others arrived at the south gate. The gate was closed, and the fire was burning all night, and Tian Ben found that the guards were half less than during the day, and there were only one or two people left, and there were a few standing on the wall of the city. The guards by the door were dozing off with their spears.

"Quietly touch the past, let go of the two people next to the stairs, and occupy the Yi wall and the Yi gate in two batches!"

Tian Ben is no longer a reckless man who only cares about rushing forward and fighting alone, he only feels that since he followed the gentleman, the road has become wider and wider, his knowledge has become wider and wider, and the things he has done have become bigger and bigger! If you don't make any progress, sooner or later your position will be taken by latecomers.

So Tian Ben and his light warriors quietly touched it first, wiped the necks of the two people in key positions, and threw the rope sleeve to kill the two people on the Yi wall. Then he sent people to climb the wall along the earthen steps. At this time. One of the guards woke up and began to shout that there was a thief, but soon he was hit by bows and arrows, and there was no sound.

As in previous drills, this sneak attack was done very simply, and after the corporal in charge of the gate was also beheaded by Tian Ben, the battle was declared over, and the remaining twenty guards lost their courage and surrendered one after another.

Although Tian Ben didn't understand their northern dialect, he understood what it meant to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy. and stopped the killing.

At the same time, several houses were lit near Zhen's Lilu in the north of the city, and the flames were small at first, but gradually grew larger. From time to time, there were panicked exclamations. The Zhen clan's soldiers were much more alert than the guards of the Yi Gate, and they quickly turned over and rushed there.

For a while, it became the focus of the whole town, and no one paid attention to the south gate of the city for a while.

"The big thing is over, I just hope that the second and third sons who went to light the fire can survive."

Tian Ben also raised his torch and shook it from side to side towards the mulberry forest half a mile away......

……

Zhao Wuxian and the others traveled all night after crossing the Pushui, and arrived outside the city in the dark an hour ago. Fifty men remained behind to escort the baggage and the bound guards. Fifty others were pulled down in the midst of the rapid march, and they were left to answer in the middle of the road, so that now only five hundred were able to enter the battle.

At the forefront of the mulberry forest were Yu Xi and the light knights, horses on their knots and riders standing in their saddles, forming two teams of wedges, each with its own mission.

Zhao Wuxian and Zhang Mengtan stood side by side on the carriage slightly behind, while the eyes of the emperor Xing Ao were fixed on the flickering firelight, and behind them were Zhao Wushu, who was sitting on the ground with black pressure on his shoulder.

While waiting, Zhang Mengtan couldn't help but break the silence, and he said to Wuxian: "Zhenyi is a thousand-room mid-town, with a population of 8,000 and a brigade of soldiers. Therefore, it is still a little troublesome to attack, but if the inside and the outside are combined, it is expected to be easily won. ”

This seems to be analyzing the situation, and it seems to be cheering himself up, although he was full of confidence when making the plan, but after all, this is Zhang Mengtan's first battle as the mastermind, and it is inevitable that he will be a little apprehensive.

Zhao Wuxian said: "There is no way to completely keep it secret when traveling in the territory of the enemy, the ferry was attacked, and after the boat beam was erected, the guards may have noticed our whereabouts." By tomorrow at the latest, the nearby Senkuro Towns will get the news, and reinforcements will be sent the day after tomorrow. ”

"If this plan fails, in order to avoid being attacked by the guards inside and outside Zhenyi, we can only retreat westward, go to join the Jin army, and then use the power of the Jin division to break through this city, so that the next plan can go smoothly."

However, in that case, the nature of this operation will be different, and he will go from a wise gentleman who still cherishes the Jin Kingdom in his heart despite his exile, so he will take the righteous city to feast on the Jin Division, to an incompetent concubine who relies on his father's thick legs.

Zhang Mengtan also swallowed his saliva, his father, the current Jin State Zhongjun Hou Xiang is probably the vanguard of the army, if this plan fails, he may be pulled back to the Jin State by him.

So, this battle must be won!

This is related to whether Zhao Ying's eyes will be surprised or disappointed, and it is also related to the future of the two of them, and even the future of this exile organization.

At this moment, Xing Ao pointed to Yimen and said, "Look, it's a signal!" ”

Looking at it, he saw that above the watchtower on the wall, the flickering firelight swaying from side to side was the signal that he had negotiated with Tian Ben. And there are also flames rising into the sky in the city, and the voices of people can be faintly heard, and it seems that the people who ignited the fire and disturbed the people who dragged the soldiers of the Zhen clan have also succeeded.

Zhao Wuxian broke the mulberry branch in his hand and threw it to the ground.

"Well done, they should be the first credit today! Give me the order, and the whole brigade will follow me and march quickly into this town! ”

The light horses galloped away, the whistle sounded, and the chariot slowly moved with the footsteps of the soldiers.

……

According to the rules of customs clearance, the gate of the city is not allowed to be opened after dark, and merchants and pedestrians who are late can only sleep on the side of the wall.

This night, there were also a few unlucky eggs that were hung in the corner, fortunately it was the height of summer, and the night was not cold, but there were more mosquitoes.

On the third watch, the bitten merchants and travelers were still asleep, and they were restless, but they heard some faint sounds coming from within the walls, as if someone was shouting, and the sound of metal clashing and heavy objects falling to the ground.

Then, everything died down, except for the noise in the distance, and before they had time to think about it, they found that the gate was slowly opening.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised, there is still a period of time before the rooster crows, is it possible that the situation is special tonight, so the door was opened early? Just as he was about to enter the door to find a building to rest, he saw several big men covered in blood and embarrassed guards walking out, who moved the fence and antlers that blocked the way, and then knelt on the side of the road and did not dare to move.

"What's going on?" The merchant and the traveler looked at each other, and did not answer each other's questions, but waved their hands away in annoyance.

"If you don't want to die, go aside, don't get in the way!"

Several of the wealthy sword-wielding people were a little annoyed and were about to have a seizure, when they heard a rumbling sound behind them.

As soon as he turned around, he saw more than twenty light knights on horseback rushing in two arrays in the moonlight, and they hurriedly dodged to avoid it, but the knights did not enter, but spread out along the wall on both sides, and galloped away in two teams.

"Isn't there a war......"

The merchants were shocked, it was not news that the battle for hegemony between Jin and Qi was no longer news, but according to reliable sources, the Jin army was still one hundred and twenty miles away to the west of the big river, why did they suddenly cross three or four cities and venture here?

However, the Black Pressure Armor Warriors who then rushed towards the gate with neat steps confirmed their suspicions. Shang Jia was most afraid of encountering rebels, but these people only glanced at them and did not make a move.

The merchant passers-by simply knelt down with the guards in a trembling manner, and they looked down to catch a glimpse of countless pairs of leggings and dirt-covered feet trotting into the gate of the city, and the dust rushing to their mouths and noses, but they could only force themselves to move.

Until a slowly rolling wheel stopped in front of them, and then a voice sounded, asking them about their identity and nationality in Yayin and Shangyin respectively.

A bold Puyang man raised his head, only to see two weak-crowned gentlemen in the car, the one on the left of the car wearing armor and holding a sword to look at everyone, how mighty and domineering. On the right side of the car is a young man in plain clothes, looking at them kindly and smiling.

After the Puyang people answered, the young man who looked like the commander of the whole army said in a commanding tone: "The Zhao clan of the Jin Kingdom has taken over this place, and you will wait here, and you can only enter the city after dawn to register your identity, and you will find a safe place to live in the city, and you will not leave within half a decade!" ”

A businessman had the courage to ask if the goods would be forcibly requisitioned, and the young man with the crown on the right side of the car smiled elegantly: "You can rest assured, the brigade commander's department is a benevolent and righteous army, and it is here to save the people of Zhenyi from war, why would he do such a thing?"
