Zhang Liao really didn't make a special selection, and randomly designated a battalion of infantry from the army he brought to Zhaoyu Ze as the main force to attack Daling City. According to Hou Qinu's calculations, the fleet set off at dusk and arrived at the north shore of Zhaoyuze around the fourth watch, crossing the Fenshui directly, and the attack could be carried out before the fifth watch.

Now there was still some time before dusk, Hou Qinu confessed his sins to Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, climbed onto the raft and lay down, and soon began to snore. Since receiving Liu Xin's order, Hou Qinu rushed to the constellation, conquered the realm, and hurriedly sneaked to Zhaoyuze to inquire about the news, and he has not slept until now. In the middle of this, Hou Qinu also did a lot of things, just to gain the trust of the fishermen, it was not easy to gather more than 200 fishing boats.

However, the training of the special forces is extremely harsh, and it is common for him to train without sleep for three days and three nights and to carry out a large amount of exercise, and Hou Qinu grew up in a group of apes, and not sleeping for two days is completely pediatric for him. However, there is another law of special forces, that is, whether in wartime or training, they must seize all the time to recover their strength and energy as much as possible. So, now forty special forces soldiers, including Hou Qinu, are sleeping with their heads covered.

As the sun set, the fleet slowly sailed out of the reeds and headed north by the starlight. At the head of the flotilla were twenty cowhide rafts, which were operated by special forces soldiers, in teams of two. Because it is still dangerous to sail at night, Hou Qinu insisted that these rafts go ahead. Liu Xin's requirements for special forces training are to be able to climb peaks and swim in the sea, these forty soldiers have all gone to sea with the Jiangnan naval fleet, Zhao Yuze's wind Lang is not worth mentioning in their eyes, even if they turn over the raft in danger, it is not a big deal.

They were followed by more than 200 fishing boats, supported by fishermen and boat wives, and the soldiers took off their armor and sat in the cabins. The armor was heavy, and if you fell into the water on your body, it was very dangerous even if you were familiar with the water, so Hou Qinu asked everyone to take off the armor.

Because it was night, the speed of the fleet was not very fast, there was neither a trumpet nor a fishing song, only the sound of oars lapping on the water. The soldiers lay in the cabin or on the raft, and even if they could not sleep, they had to close their eyes and recuperate, these were the orders of the slaves. This attack on Daling City, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun did not participate, they still have more important things to do, this battle was handed over to Hou Qinu and a infantry lieutenant named Han Yong, now, Hou Qinu is the supreme commander.

Having explored the road beforehand, and the fishermen had lived in Zhaoyuzeli all year round, they knew the situation well, and the fleet avoided several dangerous shoals without any problems, and arrived at the north shore half an hour earlier than expected.

Everyone abandoned the ship and went ashore, and the rafts hid in the reeds, these rafts could not be operated by ordinary sailors except for trained special soldiers, and now they were temporarily useless, so they had to hide first. The fishermen and boat girls returned to Wu County in small boats, and they tried to transport another batch of soldiers in the afternoon.

After sending the fishermen away, Hou Qinu gave an order, and between a pillar of incense, everyone must be ready. The infantry hurried to put on their armor, while the special forces were still dressed in strong suits. Less than half the time, the team was assembled and began the rapid march.

Daling is only more than 100 miles away from Taiyuan City, although Xianbei's iron hooves have not yet stepped here, but the people in the countryside have been panicked, have abandoned their homes and fled south, the two villages passed along the way are empty, and the crops in the fields are no one cares. However, in this way, Hou Qinu's march was not affected by anything, they could spread their feet and hurry, and their speed increased a lot, and when they arrived at the foot of Daling City, it was only four watches. Many of the soldiers were sweating, but no one cried out that they were bitter or tired, and everyone seemed extremely excited.

Hou Qinu did not immediately attack, but selected 600 men to form three small detachments, sneaked to the east, north, and west gates to set up ambushes, and gave them a death order not to let go of an enemy.

This arrangement, while dispersing forces, is necessary. Because they are now alone, the next batch of reinforcements will not arrive until the afternoon at the earliest. After all, the Yuan army is fighting at home, and if they want to organize a counterattack, it will be much more convenient. In order to alleviate the pressure of defending the city, the only way to delay Yuan Shao's news of the loss of Daling City was as much as possible, of course, the premise was that the city must be captured first.

Hou Qinu calculated the time, and the detachment sent to the farthest north gate should have been in place, so he made a gesture to start attacking. Before Han Yong and the soldiers of the Fourth Legion could understand the meaning of the gesture, Hou Qinu and his brothers had already rushed out.

The south gate of Daling City was the same as the situation encountered in Jiexiu, it was dark and quiet, and there was no one in sight. Hou Qinu took the lead and climbed to the top of the city very smoothly. However, just as he was dangling the rope from the head of the city as usual, an accident happened.

A defender soldier didn't know if he heard something or just wanted to come out to relieve himself, and then he saw the figure of Hou Qinu. Hou Qinu's stature was too tall to be completely concealed even if he bent over and hid in the shadow of the battlements. The defender soldier subconsciously shouted, "Who! ”

Hou Qinu was tugging on the rope in his hand, and there were already three special forces climbing up the rope. Hou Qinu couldn't let go, so he could only "meow" a call, which was what he was best at, and this cat meow felt vivid.

Who knows, the soldier was sleeping in a daze, and actually walked over to this side, and as he walked, he also nagged: "Although the cat meat is a little sour, it can be regarded as meat." ”

Hou Qinu was a little crying and laughing, and pulled out his sword to be secretly on guard. Unexpectedly, in order to catch the fat cat, the defending soldier was also concentrating, and suddenly saw a flash of cold light in the night. They are all people who eat food and become soldiers, and the first reaction when they see Hanguang is that it is a knife!

"There are thieves!" The defender soldier was only bare-handed, and did not carry weapons, and when he saw the cold light, he didn't have time to think about it, shouted loudly, turned around and ran.

Hou Qinu saw that his traces had been revealed, and he couldn't care much about it, "Huo" stood up, and threw the sword in his hand hard, hitting the back of the soldier's heart, and the tip of the knife went straight through the chest. The soldier shook twice and fell to the ground.

Hearing the shouts from the city, the special forces under the city also didn't care about being cautious, and accelerated the speed of climbing, and soon more than a dozen people appeared on the city. The soldiers of the Yuan army defending the city also woke up from their slumber, and some people ran out to look around in disheveled clothes, and they also grabbed their swords and guns and ran to the head of the city, where the shouts were made.

Hou Qinu had already handed over the rope to the other brothers, and he stepped forward, first pulling back his sword from the corpse of the defender soldier, and slashing down a Yuan soldier who rushed over with a spear, and a sneak attack finally turned into a strong attack.

Because everyone's nerves were involved in the Xianbei people during this time, the focus of Daling City's troops was on the north gate, and the soldiers guarding the south gate were not counted, only about 100 people, and more than 200 people were recruited.

Hearing the screams from the top of the city, the defenders suddenly fell asleep and rushed to the head of the city. The men were also driven away by them, and they were given swords and spears, and they were forced to move forward, and the trumpets of warning to the city were sounded.

Whether it was the defender soldiers or the people, they all thought that it was the Xianbei people who secretly went south to touch the city. The homes of those people are all in the city, and the tragic scene of Yanmen City has long been spread here, and everyone knows that if the Xianbei people are allowed to enter the city, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, although these folk artists are mediocre in martial arts and have not undergone much formal training, they are all extremely desperate, and the group of special forces under Rao is Hou Qinu is brave and good at fighting, and they are not able to retreat in a hurry.

At this time, Han Yong also rushed to the city with six hundred infantry. Originally, they planned to wait for Hou Qinu to open the city gate before rushing in, but now when they heard the shouts of killing on the city, they couldn't care much, and threw hooks at the city and climbed up.

This process is often the most casual. Fortunately, at this time, Hou Qinu and they occupied a beachhead at the head of the city, and as more and more special forces climbed up the city, this position was gradually expanding. The defenders and civilians were in a hurry, unorganized, and disorganized, but Han Yong and his soldiers were not hindered.

At this time, another group of about 200 Yuan troops rushed from the city, all of them holding torches in their hands, illuminating the area around the south gate as bright as day. Maybe it was because they saw that the enemy on the head of the city was not Xianbei people, or maybe they came to the reinforcements and felt that there was nothing to do here, and the people who rushed forward as if they were not going to die just now suddenly retreated. This retreat didn't matter, it actually disrupted Yuan's army.

Hou Qinu took the opportunity to shout and rushed over with a knife. He is tall and powerful, and his most useful weapon is still a heavy cooked copper stick, but he is only engaged in special operations, and it is impossible to carry such a bulky household belongings, so he can only endure the pain and use the sword instead. A knife flew up and down, cutting down more than a dozen Yuan soldiers one after another. Because of the excessive force, the sharp blade has several curls. Just now, he was slashing at the neck of a Yuan soldier, but he couldn't cut off his head. When he was depressed, Hou Qinu suddenly saw a thick log next to him.

This is a log used to defend the city. The defense of Daling Castle was very lax, and the management was extremely chaotic, and important items such as rolling stones and rolling wood, which should have been properly stored in the treasury, were now piled up on the top of the city at will.

However, when Hou Qinu saw this log, it was like picking up a treasure, threw the sword in his hand, picked up the log, picked it up and smashed it towards Yuan Jun, and smashed the three Yuan soldiers who rushed to the front on the spot. When the soldiers of the Yuan army saw him so vicious, they all fled to the city with a shout.
