(Second update.) ）

When the city gate is opened, it is the easiest time for the army outside the city to take advantage of the opportunity to enter, Gao Jixing is not unaware of this truth, but he has a reason to go out of the city. Moreover, the post house is in the east city, and the gentlemen all attack the east city gate, naturally the first thing is to echo Li Congjing. How could Gao Jixing know that Li Congjing had a first insight into his motive for sending troops to surround the post house, and escaped early and followed him here? Who would know that the gentlemen all attacked the East City Gate, but only in name only?

Li Congjing took off his royal robe, put on his armor, stepped on his war horse, drew his horizontal sword, and transformed himself from the king of Qin to the commander of the Hundred Battles Army.

The commander of the army, the post is in the battle.

The defenders of the north gate of Jiangling City, as soon as they ran down the city, they saw the Tsing Yi knights running from the end of the long street, they were all shocked, at first they thought that this was the king's people, after all, from the city, how could it be the enemy? It wasn't until the knowledgeable gatekeeper recognized the green clothes, and then thought of the gentleman outside the East City Gate, that he shouted that it was the enemy.

By this time, however, the Tsing Knight had reached the door.

The guards of the Nanping Palace, who had no time to adjust the formation, and the defenders of the city gate who were in a panic, were immediately killed by the military intelligence department.

The city gate guard's eyes were good, he saw that the light armor general who was the leader should be the leader of this group of killers, and he was eager to make meritorious service in front of the king of Nanping.

The other party is a horizontal knife, the city gate guard is a horse lance, the blade is longer than zhang, as the saying goes, an inch is long and an inch is strong, not to mention the difference between zhang and yu, it is simply a world of difference, the city gate guard is determined in his heart, his eyes are hot, and he wants to make a contribution at this time.

Seeing that the opponent had reached the attack distance, the city gate guard shouted, used all his strength, concentrated on the horse lance, raised the horse lance high, and slashed down towards the opponent's neck, where the armor defense was weakest.

"Separation of bodies and heads!" The guard shouted angrily in his heart, he knew that he would definitely not be able to dodge this blow.

But he soon found that the other party had no intention of dodging at all, and actually swung his knife to meet him.

This made the guard general's heart ecstasy, he is also a brave man in the Jiangling garrison, and there are few defeats in daily martial arts, he knows that he has a lance to swing, not to mention three hundred catties of gas, not to mention cracking stones, cutting off a foot-wide log is still not a problem.

"Die!" The guard shouted.

The horizontal knife and the long lance collided, and a crisp sound occurred.

The ecstasy on the guard's face instantly dissipated, replaced by a look of surprise, and immediately, his eyes were filled with fear!

The other party waved the knife lightly, and when he shook the horse lance in his hand, he easily slipped in from his lance, and before he could retract the lance, his throat was cut!

The guard finally remembered a sentence, weapons are more artistic, and every inch is short and one inch is dangerous.

When the horse lance in his hand slipped weakly, he heard the Mingguang Armor general who staggered past him say lightly: "It's too slow." ”

The guard wanted to say something, but his throat could only grunt, and then he lost consciousness.

In the face of the sudden attack of the gentlemen, as soon as they met the guards, they suffered heavy losses, but Gao Jixing did not panic. He knew that he only needed to hold on for a moment and a half, and when the nearby defenders gathered, he would be able to save the day, not to mention that the garrison rushed to hear the news, and at that time, I was afraid that it would be these gentlemen in front of him who were in a desperate situation.

Although I don't know why Junzidu appeared here, Gao Jixing knows that there are only 2,000 Junzidu, and the numerical disadvantage is their biggest weakness, although Jiangling's current garrison is less than 10,000, it is still more than enough to deal with Junzidu.

Gao Jixing, who retreated into the escort formation and was tightly protected, didn't feel at ease for long before he realized that he was wrong.

Although there are not many gentlemen, there are many in front of him, and compared to his three hundred guards, it is several times more advantageous. What made Gao Jixing even more frightened was that Junzidu's combat power was inevitably too strong, and the elite guards he was proud of were not opponents at all under the opponent's offensive.

What made Gao Jixing finally collapse was the dozens of Tsing Yi Rui soldiers who were killed from the city gate.

When Gao Jixing saw the leader of the Tsing Yi Ruishi from a distance, he was so angry that he stomped his feet and scolded: "What kind of heart does Li Congjing have, he actually brought armor with him?!" He grabbed the collar of a confidant and roared loudly: "Wasn't Li Congjing surrounded by Sikong in the post house?" Why is it here? ”

"I don't know if this humble position is probably because Li Congjing broke through the siege of Sikong and killed out of the post house, right?" Confidants are submissive.

"Rice bucket!" Gao Jixing lost his heart, "Li Congjing killed out of the post house, didn't go to the east city gate, how did he get to the north city gate?!" ”

It's no wonder that Gao Jixing has no demeanor, but in front of the cavalry led by Li Congjing and Tao Yaoyao, there are almost no enemies in Gao Jixing's guards, and in the blink of an eye, they were driven straight by Li Congjing and killed in front of him. At this time, Lin Xiong, who was outside the city, also led the gentlemen to tear apart the guard formation and kill him directly.

After a while, Li Congjing picked up the last guard in front of Gao Jixing, and held the long lance in his hand at some point, and rode his horse in front of Gao Jixing, the blade of the long lance was still dripping blood, "King Nanping, King Gu heard that you were going to see Xu Zhihe, so he rushed here, intending to go with you, I don't know what King Nanping wants?" ”

There is a county in Jingzhou, named Shishou County, which is named after the lonely stone standing on the top of the mountain, and its county is located on the Yangtze River, which is the most important town in Jingzhou on the Yangtze River. Whenever there is a boat in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, it must pass through Shishou County, and then go upstream, and only then can it reach Jiangling through Gong'an County.

Shishou County is only about 100 miles away from the border of Fuzhou.

Ten miles outside the county seat, ugly for three minutes.

A large army came here to rest, and it was incomprehensible that this army, numbering more than 3,000, had no sign of camping in the wilderness. What's even more confusing is that the county seat is close at hand, but they have no plans to camp in the city.

"I said, cousin, you really don't need to set up camp?" Next to a big stone, Ma Xiaodao held a grass stalk obliquely in his mouth, leaned on the stone with his arms crossed, and glanced at Ma Huaiyuan, who was looking at Shishou County from the stone, "It's so far away, and there are no lights in the city, can you really see the city?" ”

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense!" Ma Huaiyuan didn't look back.

There was another person next to the stone, sitting on the ground with a horizontal knife, looking at the river, and I didn't know what he was thinking, Ma Xiaodao kicked his foot, "I heard that in this big river, demon fish have been bred since ancient times, and they can turn into human shapes, and they are beautiful, Xiaoquan, have you seen it, and you are so fascinated?" ”

Zhou Xiaoquan glanced at the knife and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

A few years ago, when the merits of Youzhou's crusade against the Khitan were examined, Ma Huaiyuan moved to Fuzhou to the right, and Ma Xiaodao and Zhou Xiaoquan went to Fuzhou with him.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoquan ignored himself, Ma Xiaodao set his eyes on Ma Huaiyuan again, although the other party said that he couldn't spit out ivory from his dog's mouth, he was willing to reward him with a few words, "Cousin, if you want to conquer this Shishou County, it is enough to give me 500 elite soldiers, why should we bring 3,000 people over?" This is a knife used to kill chickens! ”

Ma Huaiyuan finally got down from the stone, straightened his robe, and said: "You know a fart, you naturally don't need a few people to defeat Shishou County, but you have to be able to hold it, let alone 3,000 people, 30,000 people is not too much!" ”

Ma Xiaodao sneered, and followed Ma Huaiyuan to the assembly place of the army, "Cousin, you are nonsense, Gao Jixing is busy using troops to the west, and now you can free up thousands of soldiers and horses to come here?" ”

Ma Huaiyuan already disdained to taunt Ma Xiaodao, and motioned to Zhou Xiaoquan, "Zhou Dutou will explain to this stupid pig." ”

Zhou Xiaoquan held the horizontal knife and said lightly: "The garrison in Shishou County is not to guard against the Jingnan Army, but to choke the river and guard against Yang Wu Shuishi. This time, the King of Qin ordered my Fuzhou army to leave the country and capture Shishou County, and his intention was precisely this. ”

Ma Xiaodao opened his mouth wide, "Really? ”

Ma Huaiyuan sighed: "If it weren't for the territory of Fuzhou, there was no Dajiang fortress to defend, why would we have to go on an expedition here?" ”

Ma Xiaodao scratched his head, "Yang Wu is crazy, why did he send a sailor to enter Jingzhou?" Could it be that Yang Wu is going to war with my Datang? ”

After he said this, he pondered for a while, but when he looked up, he was stunned to find that Ma Huaiyuan and Zhou Xiaoquan were gone, and it seemed that he didn't want to go with him and answer his questions that seemed stupid to the two of them.

"The situation in Jingzhou is still unclear, so the King of Qin ordered my Fuzhou army to capture Shishou County and hold the Yangtze River, because the King of Qin did not intend to fight with Gao Jixingwen, but was ready to solve the Jingnan problem by force from the beginning?" Zhou Xiaoquan asked Ma Huaiyuan in a low voice.

Ma Huaiyuan said: "Gao Jixing is a greedy and repeated generation, I hope he is sensible, knowledgeable, and at ease to be a minister, what is the difference between that and a fool's dream?" As for King Qin's original intentions, don't forget, letting Ben General serve as the assassin of Fuzhou was the result of King Qin's recommendation to the imperial court. ”

Zhou Xiaoquan was stunned, doesn't this mean that King Qin planned to clean up Gao Jixing as early as last year?

The northernmost county of Jingzhou is called Changlin. Changlin County is only seventy or eighty miles away from Lexiang County, the southernmost county in Xiangzhou.

Different from Shishou County to Fuzhou, Xiangzhou is the location of Shannan Dongdao Jiedu Envoy Prefecture, and the military strength is not comparable to ordinary states and counties, and the best choice for the Tang Dynasty to enter Jingnan is to send the Xiangzhou Army and attack Jiangling with lightning speed, therefore, Changlin's defense force is not comparable to Shishou County.

The Fuzhou army's attack on Shishou County was a surprise attack, and the Xiangzhou army's attack on Changlin could only be called a head-on battle strategically speaking.

The Xiangzhou army did not send out to attack Changlin, and it was the five hundred gentlemen led by Lin Ying who undertook the task of attacking Changlin.

Only with 500 gentlemen in battle can it play a role in a surprise attack in a tactical sense. Otherwise, if the army goes to war, it may repeat the mistake of the disastrous defeat of the Xiangzhou army in the original history.

Lin Ying looked at Changlin County on horseback, and the corners of his mouth gradually outlined a cruel arc.

Because Li Congjing swaggered away from Xiangzhou to Jingzhou before, it was because of this journey that Lin Ying's department did not encounter any setbacks on the road.

At this point, attacking Changlin and laying a forward fortress for the Xiangzhou army has been half successful.

Although it is a surprise attack, it is necessary to pull out the city with 500 gentlemen, but it still depends on the other half of the factor.

That half factor was the pawn of the MI that had been placed in the city earlier.

As for whether the Military Intelligence Department planned to directly raid the defenders and open the city gate for the gentlemen, or set fire to the city to create chaos and attract the garrison to extinguish the fire and quell the chaos, it was not a question that Lin Ying would care about.
