Actually planning to attack Maicheng at night?

In the middle of the night, only seven or eight miles away from Maicheng, Cheng Yang, the general of the Great Liang Army, led his subordinates to quietly advance in the direction of Maicheng.

"I always feel a little wrong...... "Cheng Yang's deputy general, the former Taiping Army's six god generals Yuheng God General Qi Zhi frowned beside him and said, "Although it is a night attack, it can be estimated that the battle situation is no different from a strong attack, Her Royal Highness the princess has always used troops strangely, it is hard to imagine that she will make such a decision......"

"Hmm!" Cheng Yang nodded in agreement when he heard this, touched the beard on his chin and asked tentatively, "Qi Zhi, can the password you asked from Li Shen still work?" ”

"I'm afraid this won't work, right?" Qi Zhi's face showed a little embarrassment, and he said embarrassedly, "Qin King Li Shen is careful and cautious, so that he won't think that something has gone wrong on my side, and if nothing else, he will definitely change the password...... Besides, the idea of the last general at that time was to take advantage of the night attack on our camp by the three corps commanders of the White Water Army, so he instigated Her Royal Highness the princess to attack Maicheng at night...... And now that the White Water Army has not fought in Wheat City, even if the password of the last general has not been changed, the White Water Army defending Wheat City will not be stupid enough to believe that we are defeated allies, right? ”

"That's ......" Cheng Yang nodded slowly when he heard this, and then frowned and said, "But in that case, why did the acting military division suddenly plan to attack Maicheng at night?" Although the rammed earth city wall of Maicheng is only five or six zhang, it is not impossible to climb, but if it really fights, it will be an obstacle...... Now that Li Shen, the king of Qin, has been beheaded? Why be in such a hurry? ”

Hearing this, a hint of strangeness flashed in Qi Zhi's eyes, and he lowered his voice and said, "Has General Cheng ever thought about what if King Li Shen of Qin hadn't died?" ”

"Not dead?" Cheng Yang was stunned, looked at Qi Zhi in disbelief, and said strangely, "Qi Zhi, we watched Li Shen kill himself with our own eyes......"

"That's right," twisting his fingers, Qi Zhi said in a low voice, "The last general always feels that Li Shen can't die so easily......"

"Is it so easy? The strategy of the acting military division is indeed ingenious......"

"That's not right!" Shaking his head, Qi Zhizheng said, "The last general is shallow, but he also has some experience in looking at people and things...... Li Shen, the king of Qin, is definitely not a man who will be killed simply! ”

"What do you mean...... Cheng Yang's eyes showed a bit of solemnity, and he lowered his voice and said, "I'll wait...... Including Liu Qingdai's military division, they were all deceived? ”

"It's not that there is no such possibility...... "Glancing at Cheng Yang, Qi Zhi said in a low voice, "It seems that the last general, this time Her Royal Highness the princess attacked Maicheng at night, it is very likely that it is to verify this possibility!" ”

"I see...... Cheng Yang nodded suddenly, but then he showed a little hard thinking, and after being embarrassed for a while, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I was confused......

"Huh!" Qi Zhi involuntarily chuckled, but after laughing, he was stunned and looked at Cheng Yang with strange eyes.

Da Liang Jun ......

It's not that difficult......

Qi Zhi couldn't help but have a strange thought in his heart, after all, in the eyes of their Taiping army generals, the Great Liang Army used to be their enemies, but now, Qi Zhi unexpectedly found that he seemed to be able to get along well with Cheng Yang.

"In short, no matter what, since the acting military division ordered us like this, there must be a deep meaning, and we just need to act according to the plan!"

Looking at Cheng Yang's kind eyes, Qi Zhi couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, the last general will obey the order!" ”

I have to say that Cheng Yang's kindness in Cai's Mountain really touched Qi Zhi and made Qi Zhi understand that the generals of the Great Liang Army were not stone-hearted, and they also had benevolence and righteousness in their hearts that were not inferior to the Taiping Army. If there is any difference between the two, I am afraid that it is only the difference in the camp in which they are located, and it has nothing to do with justice and injustice.

Thinking of this, Qi Zhi couldn't help but be a little worried about Xu Le, although the two of them had conflicts due to disagreements in the previous meeting, and they had almost parted ways, but no matter what, Xu Le was always the general of their Taiping Army, and Qi Zhi didn't want that reckless man to do anything stupid at such a time and ruin the relationship between Liu Qing and the Great Liang Army.

In addition to Chengyang and Qi Zhi, in fact, the Zhou army also has several soldiers and horses that are ready to jointly attack Maicheng at night, such as Tang Hao, for example, Liang Cheng, the reason why they are divided into several is just that considering that the brigade is very likely to be detected by the scouts of the rebel army, it is just to implement the tactic of breaking it into pieces and dividing the large group of men and horses that sneak attack Maicheng into several small forces.

And the commander-in-chief of this night attack was Tang Hao, one of the deputy commanders of the Jizhou Army.

When the rest of the troops were still on the march, Tang Hao came to the snow forest about three miles southeast of Maicheng, climbed high and looked at the lights of Maicheng, and calculated in his heart the benefits and disadvantages of attacking the city at night.

Beside Tang Hao, more than 300 assassins from the Dongling and Jinling groups were masked with black cloths, ready to go, or leaning on the trunk of a tree, or kneeling on one knee on the snow, staring at the target of this trip with indifferent eyes, the east gate of Maicheng.

There were more than three hundred people, not only did they not make the slightest sound, but they could be said to be skillfully integrated with the nearby terrain, making it difficult to detect their existence.

"The general situation is like this...... "Turning around and squatting down on the snow, Tang Hao lowered his voice and assigned this task to Gou Gong and Ding Qiu, after all, the two of them were the actual controllers of the Dongling and Jinling Clans at the moment.

Originally, it was obviously more stable to hand over this kind of errand of assassinating the enemy defenders and cooperating with the friendly army to capture the city, and it was obviously more stable to hand it over to Mo Fei, the number one assassin under Xie An's command, but unfortunately, Mo Fei had not recovered from the blow of Liang Qiuhao's incident. Therefore, Gou Gong, the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, had no choice but to strike again, you know, he had been a civil official for three years, except for the time when he protected Xie An from the siege of the Guangling assassins, he was almost never stained with blood again.

That's right, after all, in the final analysis, Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple is a big official position, that is one of the little Jiuqing, even at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Jijing, who is full of officials, it is also very status, so Gou Gong will naturally cherish his wings.

With a prominent official position and a stable life, who wants to go to the rì who fights, kills, and fights with blood? After all, Gou Gong is not a man like Mo Fei, Thunder, and Liang Qiuhao, who is purely born for something, he is also a layman who likes money, status, and women.

"Is it up to me to take charge of the East City Gate?" Hearing that Tang Hao's task was assigned, Gou Gong nodded and said, "My third brother is not here, so there should be a little trouble in capturing the city gate...... However, as long as Gou is allowed to go up to the city tower, Gou can guarantee that our army will be able to enter the city smoothly! ”

Gou Gong didn't say this to open his mouth, you know, although his assassination skills are far inferior to Mo Fei, but he is good at using poison, as long as he is allowed to come to a high place and sprinkle the poisonous powder in his pocket, it is simply a matter of being a husband and a wife.

Of course, the premise is that it is best not to run into enemies such as Liang Qiu Hao, Liang Qiu Wu, Zhen Lei, and Jin Ling'er, whose own strength is extremely terrifying, otherwise, I am afraid that before Gou Gong can rely on his poisonous powder to establish miraculous skills, he will have been killed by the enemy generals.

After all, he has been a civil official for three years, and Gou Gong's martial arts have also been greatly reduced. As the saying goes, practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current, if you don't practice, you can retreat thousands of miles, just look at Jin Ling'er. The ghost Ji Jin Ling'er three years ago, how terrifying it was, with the power of one person to make the entire Jijing chicken dog restless, not to mention Mo Fei's enemy, even Liang Qiu Hao had almost died in her hands, but after she was pregnant and gave birth to her daughter in October, she couldn't even defeat Mo Fei. Thinking about it, she can only hand over the reputation of the world's number one assassin and obediently be her third lady of Xie Fu.

"Dongling people alone, there won't be any problems, right?" Ding Qiu frowned, and said hesitantly, "Why don't I Jinling support some people?" ”

"What do you mean by this?" Gou Gong's face was a little unsightly. Don't look at the Dongling people and the Jinling people seem to be quite harmonious, but only those in the know understand how fiercely the two assassins compete with each other.

It's no wonder, after all, when the two mansions of the southern and northern towns of Fusi were established when the fifth son of the emperor, Li Cheng and Xie An, competed for the rights of the hidden forces in the capital of Hebei, there were overlaps and conflicts in terms of authority, just like a bowl of fresh soup, who was willing to share half a bowl?

Friendship is friendship, but once it comes to the interests of one's own assassin inn, some things still have to be said clearly.

"Gou Shaoqing misunderstood, Ding just felt that if Captain Mo was not there, I am afraid that it would be a little difficult for the Dongling people to seize the gate of Maicheng......"

"This is not the heart of the captain of Laoding, although the brothers in our hotel, although they have never taken on the business of killing people and overselling goods, but their skills have never been left behind!"

"......" Seeing Gou Gong and Ding Qiu smiling, Tang Hao scratched his forehead with a headache.

You must know that the backer of the Jinling people is Jin Ling'er, and the Dongling people have also received the support of the eldest grandson Xiangyu in recent years, so it is not good for Tang Hao to favor any of them.

"Ahem, this...... The East City Gate will be handed over to the Dongling people, as for Ding Duwei...... The last general thought that he would still concentrate on the south gate......"

"South Gate?" Seeing Tang Hao interject and divert the topic, Ding Qiu frowned thoughtfully.

"Yes!" Nodding, Tang Haozheng said, "That thunder is not simple, it shouldn't be that you can't guess that our army will attack Qimai City at night, but they shouldn't be able to guess General Fei's one!" ——How to skillfully hide in the city, when the White Water Army is entangled with our army, seize the south city gate, and put General Fei Guo into the city, Ding Duwei's task is not easy! ”

"Hmm, that's it......" Ding Qiu nodded when he heard this, and his eyes were obviously much better. Perhaps, although there was a bit of a joke in what he said to Gou Gong, it didn't mean that he didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction.

After all, over the years, all the key errands have basically been taken over by the Dongling people, which really makes Ding Qiu a little unable to raise his head. Even, because of this, he was scolded by Jin Ling'er.

Whenever I heard Jin Ling'er say that if the old lady went out in person, Ding Qiu smiled bitterly and felt a little bad in his heart, after all, Jin Ling'er withdrew from the hotel when her third lady of Xie Mansion went, and the strength of the Jinling people was undoubtedly greatly reduced, not to mention other people, at least Mo Fei, the representative of the Dongling people, he Ding Qiu couldn't hold it down.

And now listening to Tang Hao's words, Ding Qiu's mood has improved a lot, he secretly made up his mind, he will take advantage of the great opportunity when Mo Fei suffered a blow and collapsed, to revive the momentum of the Jinling people, the best limelight can overshadow the Dongling people, who called him the second head of the Jinling Dangerous Building Assassin Pavilion after Jin Ling'er?

"Do you want me to send a few more people from the East Ridge to help?" There is revenge and revenge, and Gou Gong did not forget to say something half-joking to tease Ding Qiu.

At this moment, only to hear the sound of the ground, two assassins appeared on the originally empty snow, knocked on one knee, and looked at the sign on the chest of their night clothes, it is not difficult to find that one of them is Dongling, and the other is Jinling.

After glancing at each other in surprise, the two assassins whispered in unison, "Several night raiding troops and horses of our army have arrived one after another, and the fastest is the Chengyang Division, according to which it is only three miles!" ”

Glancing at the two assassins, Ding Qiu and Gou Gong looked at each other seemingly in a tacit understanding, and although they didn't say anything, it was not difficult to guess from their expressions.

Oh, it doesn't matter who wins or loses!

Tang Hao secretly laughed in his heart, and then said in a deep voice, "Okay, in that case, the two of you, act according to the plan!" ”

"Understood!" Slowly closing the small golden fan in his hand, Gou Gong turned around and walked towards the end of the snow forest, but when he raised his hand and pointed at Mai Cheng, most of the assassins in the snow forest disappeared.

Looking around, I saw that on the snow outside the wheat city at night, black shadows flashed one after another, and in just a dozen blinks of an eye, the more than 100 black shadows approached the city wall of the wheat city, and the hand set up a human ladder, ready to climb the rammed earth city wall of the wheat city.

Finally, one of the Dongling Assassins climbed the battlements on the city wall with both hands with the help of a human ladder, but he did not immediately turn in, but quietly poked his head out to investigate the situation of the defenders on the city wall.

In the distance, Tang Hao held his breath and watched, because he saw that the soldier had been hanging on the city wall with both hands for more than a hundred breaths, and he didn't see the slightest movement.

Finally, the Assassin moved, probably taking advantage of the patrolling space of the defenders on the wall, and a pigeon rolled over and jumped onto the wall, landing silently.

With his feet on the ground and his right hand on the ground, the Assassin's eyes quickly scanned his surroundings.

At this moment, one of the rebel guards who had his back to him was leaning against the wall and yawning wearily.

It was the last yawn of the guard's life......

More than a dozen black shadows quickly climbed the wall, quietly assassinating one defender after another, throwing those guards out of the city, and being caught by the assassin brothers under the city, who quickly stripped off their armor and stuffed their bodies into the snow.

Within a moment, more than 100 sets of armor of the rebel soldiers were brought to Ding Qiu by more than a dozen Dongling people and distributed to every Jinling assassin.

Terrible!

It is worthy of being one of the best assassination assassin lodges, Hongshan Dongling ......

Tang Hao was only dumbfounded by this scene, after all, the Dongling assassins not only seized control of a section of the city wall without the defenders of Maicheng having time to shout pre-jǐng, but they could even prepare the armor of the defenders that they would use in order to lurk in the city later, and the important point was that the Dongling people moved quite quickly, and when they quietly got rid of the patrols and guards near the east city gate, and slowly opened the city gate, it only took less than a stick of incense before and after.

This is still without Mo Fei in charge......

But despite this, the bell in Maicheng still rang, which is no wonder to the people of Dongling, after all, the gate made of sunken wood inlaid with iron sheets in Maicheng weighs thousands of catties, and when it is opened, it will inevitably make a loud rumbling noise, and in such a quiet night, as long as you are not deaf, the whole city can hear it.

But it doesn't matter, after all, at the moment when the city gate opened, the Chengyang army had already arrived in Maicheng, and they went directly into the city without stopping. Subsequently, Liang Chengjun and Wang Huaijun also arrived one after another, which made the originally silent Maicheng suddenly become noisy, and there were people and horses neighing everywhere, and it was chaotic.

"Zhou Jun is here......"

On the top of the east gate of Maicheng, the general of the White Water Army watched expressionlessly as one after another Zhou troops entered the city, and spoke in a flat tone.

"The plan is going well......" With a chuckle, Li Shen, the king of Qin, walked out from the corner of the palace on the upper floor of the city.

Glancing at Li Shen, the king of Qin, the thunderbolt held a halberd in his hand, standing on the city wall and looking in the direction of the other three city gates. As he and Li Shen expected, in order to avoid being trapped and dying in the city, the Zhou army performed its own duties from the time when it successfully entered the east city gate, three of which attacked the west, north, and south gates of Maicheng, while the other dozen or so small troops wantonly rushed back and forth in the city, obviously deliberately trying to confuse the order of Maicheng, deliberately creating chaos, and slowing down the assembly time of the Baishui army and the vassal army as much as possible.

It can be seen that Liu Qing is indeed very good at sneak attacks.

But on the whole, it seems that all this is exactly the same as predicted by Li Shen, the king of Qin?

"My generation went down first, and if I delay for a while, I'm afraid it will come true......"

After all, Li Shen's plan, only he and the three army commanders under his command knew, and the rest of the soldiers were still immersed in the bad news that their lord was dead, and they didn't expect that the Zhou army would attack the city at this time.

"Heh, thank you for your hard work, Thunder!" After saying a word, Li Shen, the king of Qin, once again disappeared into the shadow of the palace on the city tower.

As Li Shen, the king of Qin, said, when Array Lei came forward to preside over the overall situation and led the Baishui Army to give the Zhou army in the city a head-on attack, the Zhou army chose to retreat, and the retreat was very simple. It was as if they were just coming over to give the rebel army a slap in the face, and they immediately retreated when they took advantage of it.

With the acquiescence of the thunder, more than 50,000 Baishui troops poured out and bit the tail of the Zhou army when they retreated, and there was a posture that they would not give up if they did not completely annihilate the Zhou army.

At this time, Fei Guo led the army to arrive at the south gate of Maicheng as scheduled, and with the help of the Jinling assassins, he easily attacked Maicheng, which was not guarded by the Baishui Army......

That night, Ma Dan, who led the cavalry to guard the rabbit outside the city of Maicheng, captured the great merit he had dreamed of......
