When night falls, everything is quiet. Everything in Zigong City spent the day with the last rays of the sunset.

The daytime farce and street looting in the Chen Mansion did not seem to have much of an impact on the people. The people in the salt capital have experienced and witnessed all kinds of disputes between the horse gangs and various forces, and they seem to have become accustomed to swords and swords. Even during this period of rebel invasion, the city was heavily defended, and the war was imminent, the local people still lived according to their daily trajectory, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. The same was true of the day that had just passed.

In the quiet of the night, a figure moved in the alley. According to Zhu Qing's arrangement, the 100 soldiers who were responsible for the feint siege in the east and south of the city sneaked to their respective strongholds with the Tiangang Five Thunder and the Nine Dragons Divine Cannon.

Previously, the rebel strongholds had been detected according to the map of the city fortifications, and at this time, taking advantage of the night, Jinyiwei was more familiar with the road.

At this time, in the southeast of the city, the guard general Xu Dingyuan was not on the position, because the eldest brother Xu Dingguo also led troops to Beishan tonight, whether it was to explain or see him off, Xu Dingyuan had to come and see Xu Dingguo.

"Big brother, don't worry! Brother, I will definitely help you keep Zigong! Waiting for your triumph! Xu Dingguo swore that Xu Dingguo would take away 30,000 people, and there were more than 10,000 people who could leave Xu Dingyuan. Before, Chen Jiujin told Chen Wuyong that Jinyiwei had at least 50,000 soldiers and horses. This word must have spread to the second middle school of the second general of the Xu family a long time ago. Hearing that Qinglong brought 50,000 brocade clothes to attack the city and was still so calm, Xu Dingyuan was indeed a fierce general.

But Xu Dingguo knew very well in his heart that Qinglong was no one else, and although Xu Dingyuan was brave, he was far from being Qinglong's opponent. The time when he killed the wind, Xu Dingyuan's gain was purely coincidental, if it weren't for the fact that he was outnumbered at that time and was attacked on all sides, Xu Dingyuan's arrow wanted to hurt the killing wind, and he couldn't. And today's green dragon is better than the blue. Not to mention 50,000 brocade guards, even if it is 8,000 brocade guards, it is more than enough to deal with Xu Dingyuan's more than 10,000 people!

"Brother, don't be reckless, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood! After I leave, you can block it, it's really tight, hurry up and retreat north, Qinglong is not easy to mess with, I think Li Zicheng's million-strong army was torn apart by him. I asked you to stay, firstly, to help the eldest brother and help the army go north, and secondly, to hope that you can get some more oil and water from Zigong to our Xu family's army. If Jin Yiwei really comes in, you can see the opportunity. Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable! Xu Dingguo pressed Xu Dingyuan's shoulders and persuaded bitterly that he was most worried about his younger brother when he left this time!

After listening to Xu Dingguo's words, although Xu Dingyuan was a little unwilling, he had to grit his teeth and nodded.

"Well, I've already said hello to Chen Wuyong and asked him to help you then. Except for some things before the army, I thought it was his ghost, but just now I sent someone to keep an eye on it, this old boy is quite honest, but you can't take it lightly, you can't bet the treasure on him. Jin Yiwei has entered the city, and it is estimated that he is enough to choke. We don't expect him to be of much help, if we can attract some of the brocade guards, it will be very good for you. Xu Dingguo still feels that Chen Wuyong is reliable.

"Understood! If he dares to come nonsense, I have my own ideas. Xu Dingyuan said, a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth.

Both brothers feel that the situation in Zigong is still under their control!

"Good! Then the old brother can rest assured that the Northern Expedition! Take care of your brother, big brother will take his leave first! Xu Dingguo said, then stepped on the horse and hugged his fists and left.

In front of his formation was a vanguard battalion, and he walked with the gold, silver and jewels looted by the army in Zigong and other places, and the baggage battalion and the large army also moved one after another. Xu Dingguo's army has 30,000 soldiers and horses, and it can be regarded as a mighty force in Zigong County, which is very different from the Jinyi guards sneaking in the streets and alleys.

"Big brother go slowly! Take care, big brother! Xu Dingyuan bowed and clenched his fists, and watched Xu Dingguo lead the team to the north of the city.

Accompanying the mighty army, Xu Dingguo didn't know that there was a pair of eyes staring at himself and his troops in the dark.

"How's the North City going?" Seeing Xu Dingguo dispatch, Zhu Qing took down the clairvoyance and asked.

"General Qiyu, the brothers have just arrived in the north of the city, and it will take some time to take the north of the city quietly......" the guard replied.

Zhu Qing's face was a little worried after hearing this. He didn't expect Xu Dingguo to act so quickly, if Jinyiwei hadn't been able to take the north of the city, when Xu Dingguo arrived at the north gate, I was afraid he would not be able to stop it!

Zhu Qing pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What is the situation in the southeast of the city?" ”

"It's all in place!" The guard replied.

A smile finally appeared on Zhu Qing's face, he nodded, and then ordered, "I can't wait any longer!" We must find a way to slow down Xu Dingguo's speed, pass the order, fire artillery at the east and south of the city, and start a feint! ”

"Order!"

The guards took the order and left, and after a while, they saw a sudden burst of fire in the sky above the southeast of the city, followed by a crisp explosion, the sound in the air had not yet dispersed, and the east and south of the city suddenly sounded at the same time!

Jinyiwei took the lead in firing the first shot of the Zigong Counterinsurgency War!

As the first shot was fired, the sound of artillery rang out one after another from various strongholds in the southeast of the city! At this time, Xu Dingyuan had not yet returned to the station, and when he heard the sound of artillery in front of him, he was immediately shocked and shouted, "What's the situation?!" ”

"Report ...... Report General! Both the east and south of the city were raided by the Jinyi Guard's artillery fire, and several strongholds suffered heavy losses! ”

"What?! Fast! Hurry back to your position and organize a counterattack! Xu Dingyuan gave an order, pulled out his sword, and rode his horse towards the southeast of the city!

At this time, Xu Dingguo, who had just arrived in the city, also heard the sound of cannons in the southeast of the city. When he looked back, he saw that it was no ordinary incident.

"Phew! Stop it! A few of you, quickly return to the southeast of the city and see if the Jinyi Guards have started attacking?! Xu Dingguo ordered.

"Yes!"

"General, do we have to wait first?" A guard asked Xu Dingguo.

Xu Dingguo glanced back and forth, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "Wait for the situation first." ”

"Yes! By the way, the general, it is not far from the county government in front of you, why don't the generals go to the county government to avoid it first? The guard advised.

"Avoid?!" Xu Dingguo shouted angrily, and the guard didn't dare to make a sound.

However, Xu Dingguo still glanced in the direction of the county office, and muttered, "How can the county government be so quiet?" ……”

But before Xu Dingguo could finish speaking, a person suddenly ran out of the alley of the county government, "Help...... Help me! ”

"What's the situation? Check it out! Xu Dingguo ordered the guards beside him.

Several guards carried knives to pick up the people who had run out of the county office. Behind that man were two shadow men!

"General, General help me!" It wasn't until that person came over that Xu Dingguo saw that this person was Chen Wuyong's personal guard, and he went to the General's Mansion to report to Xu Dingguo in the evening!

Chen Wuyong's guards stumbled and fell in front of Xu Dingguo.

Xu Dingguo glanced forward and shouted, "Chase!" ”

The five rebels chased them down the alley. The two men in black looked at each other, nodded, and disappeared into the alleys on either side.

Chen Wuyong's guards crawled up to Xu Dingguo in embarrassment, "General, general, save me......"

"What the hell is going on? Say it! Xu Dingguo asked.

"Didn't the general ask the adults to help keep an eye on the Jinyi Guard? The adults heard that there was a Jinyi guard in the north of the city, and knew that the general was going out of the city to the north tonight, so he personally led people to explore the way for the general, who knew that it was the Jinyi guard's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and soon after the adults left, more than a dozen Jinyi guards suddenly killed into the county government, and the county government garrison was empty, and now it has been swept away by the Jinyi guard! Ask the general to support the county government! Chen Wuyong's guards responded anxiously, and after speaking, they kept clasping their fists and kowtowing to Xu Dingguo.

After Xu Dingguo heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, fortunately he didn't go to the county government just now!

"General, it's not easy to get rid ......of being entangled by the Jinyi guard," Xu Dingguo's guard muttered in his ear.

Xu Dingguo nodded slightly, glanced at the guard kneeling on the ground, coughed lightly, leaned over and helped him up, "General Chen, please get up, it's not that I don't support Lord Chen, it's really that our army has important matters that should not be changed...... However, I will not leave Lord Chen, I have already asked people to go to relieve the siege, I believe that I can hold out until Lord Chen comes back, you can rest assured, as soon as the army leaves the north gate, as soon as Lord Chen returns, the Jinyi guard of the county government will definitely be unable to escape! Xu Dingguo spent so much time talking with a guard, just to appease this soldier, after all, this person had provided Xu Dingguo with important information about Jinyiwei, if Xu Dingguo did not express it at this time, presumably the brothers behind him would have other opinions about Xu Dingguo, and it would be difficult to say if anyone would be willing to die in the future.

When the guard heard this, he was happy, because he had completed another task and pretended to escape to report the news!

However, the county government did come to Jinyiwei, and Chen Wuyong did leave the county government to take people to Beicheng. However, Chen Wuyong did not go to deal with Jinyiwei, but to deal with the rebels in the north of the city for Jinyiwei.

Although there are not many rebels in the north of the city, it is difficult to kill them quietly in a short period of time and capture the north gate.

Zhu Qing thought of Chen Wuyong, Chen Wuyong and Xu Dingguo were allies on the surface, if Chen Wuyong personally led people into the North Gate, then the North Gate rebels would not be suspicious!

But at the same time, there was another war in the southeast of the city, and if the county government did not move, Xu Dingguo would definitely be suspicious. Therefore, he sent Jinyiwei to harass the county government and play Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai again, so that he could hide Xu Dingguo, who also wanted to use Chen Wuyong.

I heard that the county government was targeted by the Jinyi guard, Xu Dingguo would not wade into this muddy water anyway, he didn't want to go out of the north gate to have to work hard.

But I heard that Chen Wuyong went to the north of the city to chase and suppress Jinyiwei, which was exactly what he wanted. This proves that what he said to Chen Wuyong before still has a certain deterrent effect.

At least, Chen Wuyong acted!

After appeasing Chen Wuyong's guards, Xu Dingguo's guards also returned from the alley.

"How's it going?" Xu Dingguo asked.

Several guards glanced at each other and said, "The county government has indeed been attacked...... However, we have solved the ......"

Obviously, these people are lying, and if they really see Jinyiwei, it is estimated that it is impossible to come back.

But Xu Dingguo laughed loudly, "Okay! is worthy of my Xu Dingguo's soldiers, and he doesn't even pay attention to the Jinyi Guard! Let's get back! ”

"General Xie!"

Chen Wuyong's guards couldn't help sneering in their hearts when they saw Xu Dingguo's master and servant singing and harmonizing, but they didn't show it at all, just nodded to Xu Dingguo to express their gratitude.

"Report! The south and east of the city were attacked by Jinyi Guard, and General Xu Dingyuan had already rushed to the position to organize a counterattack, and he told the general not to worry about it, and to get out of the city quickly! "After a while, the guards sent by Xu Dingguo to inquire about the situation in the southeast of the city came back!

Although the situation in the southeast of the city made Xu Dingguo a little worried, as Xu Dingyuan said, the army should not stay for a long time!

"Let's go! Keep moving! Xu Dingguo ordered.

The vanguard officer then marched forward on horseback and led the army.

However, Xu Dingguo's journey from the middle of the city to the north of the city was much slower than just now, because there was a Jinyi guard in the north of the city, and Xu Dingguo hoped that Chen Wuyong could remove the obstacles in the north of the city for him!

It was also during this period of delay that Xu Dingguo had already joined forces to take the North Gate!

"Let's go! Let's go and meet Xu Dingguo! Zhu Qing put away his clairvoyance, sneered, and led a group of guards to move quickly towards the north gate......
