In the end, Gao Qi, who was in a loss, could only watch He Tengjiao lead seven battalions of cavalry, and more than 3,000 people galloped towards Xinxiang City!

"Okay, Gao Qi, don't look at it, who made you the commander of the infantry, what do you envy?"

Ke Yunlu on the side sneered.

"Damn, Yunlu, are you still talking here about cool things? Lao Tzu pleaded with you in front of the eldest brother in vain, ungrateful thing! ”

It's just that He Tengjiao couldn't hear these words.

In order to be able to reach Xinxiang City as soon as possible, He Tengjiao led more than 3,000 cavalry to run out of sixty miles in one breath, and it took less than three hours, the sky had gradually darkened, and the army gradually stopped, and after running for a long time, the war horse could not consume such physical strength.

He Tengjiao jumped off the war horse, and behind him, Zhang Hexiang walked over and said: "Boss, let's not be so desperate, running from afar, our war horses can't afford to consume, anyway, there is time to make our opponents?" ”

He Tengjiao sneered: "Do you think I am willing to run so violently, I don't know how tired?" I'll tell you, we have to get to Xinxiang by the early hours of tomorrow morning! ”

Arrive in Xinxiang City before the early hours of tomorrow morning!

Zhang Hexiang was taken aback and asked, "Boss, why are you in such a hurry?" Even if we arrive the day after tomorrow, it will be enough to take Xinxiang City before the bandits come back, don't you still believe in the combat power of the brothers? ”

He Tengjiao scolded with a smile: "You know a fart? Let's have a surprise attack, what is a surprise attack, that is, before the twist bandits in Xinxiang City have not been discovered, launch an attack on the city, if it is an attack during the day, the twist bandits have discovered us early, and we have made sufficient preparations, you can take it down at once? Even if you can capture Xinxiang City as you wish, it will be much more difficult! ”

Zhang Hexiang suddenly realized and asked, "Boss, are you going to launch an attack in the second half of the night tomorrow night?" ”

"Yes, it must be the second half of the night tomorrow night! More than two hundred miles away, our cavalry took a day and a half, enough to reach Xinxiang City, and then launched a surprise attack on Xinxiang City, opening the gate of Xinxiang City in one fell swoop, as long as we successfully rushed into the city, the twist bandits are not as good as a group of cattle in front of us! ”

He Tengjiao replied.

Zhang Hexiang nodded excitedly and replied: "Yes, sneak attack in the middle of the night, this time, the elite strength that Old Man Dong trained us can use!" ”

As the chief martial arts instructor under Guo Ye, Dong Haichuan used a year to train a group of kung fu masters for Baoding Town, although it is not as good as an elite force like Guo Ye, but it is much more powerful than ordinary elites, at least, there is no problem in climbing over the wall and ridge, using flying claws and lassoes, climbing the city wall as if walking on the ground.

He Tengjiao fought this idea, if he wanted to attack the city strongly, even if the Baoding cavalry had a large number of rifles, it was not so easy to take down, without artillery assistance, it was a big problem to break through the city gate, and long-distance running, the physical strength of the cavalry would also consume a lot, and the most feared thing was stalemate, once it fell into a stalemate, it would be troublesome. Now the cavalry of Baoding Town has nearly 100 cavalry with special training, and it is most suitable to take them as the top soldiers, as long as the city gate can be opened, then Xinxiang City is in the bag!

"Okay, now that it's getting dark, bury the pot and cook dinner, let's just spend the night, take out the hot wine and drink some warm up, and leave on time at four o'clock tomorrow morning!"

He Tengjiao calculated the time very accurately, set off again at four o'clock in the morning, and at noon, he could run a hundred miles in one breath, rest in the afternoon, and then use the evening time, one night and then twilight can march again sixty miles, you can arrive at Xinxiang City, in the end when Xinxiang City is outside, I am afraid that it is eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, after a little rest, you can launch an attack on Xinxiang City!

After a day's rest, on the evening of the next day, He Tengjiao led the elite cavalry of Baoding Town to finally arrive at Xinxiang City!

He Tengjiao shouted: "Hexiang! ”

Zhang Hexiang hurriedly urged the horse to come over, and said in a low voice: "Boss! ”

"Hexiang, the heavy responsibility of this attack will be handed over to you, bring good guys, you hundred brothers, all touch over, wait for the opportunity to kill the defenders on the city, open the city gate, and we will attack the city in one fell swoop!"

Zhang Hexiang nodded in agreement, waved his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, get off the horse and prepare!" ”

One hundred, this is the most elite combat power of three thousand cavalry! Zhang Hexiang nodded towards He Tengjiao and rushed in the direction of Xinxiang City, which was only five or six miles away from Xinxiang City, and for these people, it would only take a moment to arrive.

Came to Xinxiang City, the entire Xinxiang City had already fallen silent with the arrival of late night, and there was only a twist army patrolling back and forth on the city.

Zhang Hexiang opened his mouth to put the steel knife in his mouth, shook his hand, and the flying rope in his hand flew high and put it on the battlements at the head of the city.

Now it is the number nine cold days, the weather in Henan is cold, and who wants to be frozen outside? The Qing army is still far away near Hebi, more than 200 miles away from Xinxiang, there are tens of thousands of twisted troops and the Taiping army in the middle, Xinxiang City is solid, the twist army and the Taiping army are naturally relaxed their vigilance, plus the leaders and senior generals of the two armies have been transferred to the front, Xinxiang City only has two generals left, and the twist army and the Taiping army are even more unscrupulously relaxed.

Originally, there was a battalion of troops guarding the four sides of the city, divided into four groups to take turns on duty, but now it's okay, only two hundred people are on duty, and the other two teams all go back to sleep, and two hundred people are guarding Xinxiang City, so where can such a large city be guarded?

Soon, Zhang Hexiang had already arrived at the head of the city, and it happened that there were two twisted soldiers guarding the battlements, Zhang Hexiang was shocked, climbed the city head with one hand, jumped suddenly, and the saber in the other hand had been waved!

"Poof!"

By the time the two twisters realized that something was wrong, it was too late, Zhang Hexiang went with all his strength, and the sharp saber actually cut off the heads of the two people in one fell swoop, and the two people didn't even make a sound, they fell to the ground, and their limbs were still twitching weakly.

At this time, the cavalry behind also rushed up, and in the blink of an eye, twenty or thirty people occupied the head of the city, waiting for the people behind to board it.

"What people!"

Coincidentally, before the cavalry had come up halfway, a small team of twisted troops turned from the east, and when they saw that twenty or thirty strangers had suddenly appeared, they were shocked and shouted!
