Chapter 435: Snowy Night, White Clothes Capture the City

Li Xin's soldiers and horses made rapid progress, under the leadership of Zhang Ju and Liu Min, plus when the snow was falling, they rushed forward, starting from Heshui County, passing through Taibai, Shimen, Ganquan and other county forts, sometimes, the enemy has not yet reacted, Li Xin's army killed him, if he can surrender willingly, Li Xin treated him politely, but if there was a slight resistance, Li Xin was ruthless, and when he arrived at the thirty miles of the southeast of Fushixian County, Yan'an County, Li Xin's soldiers and horses actually exceeded 18,000 people, In addition to Li Xuanba and Cheng Yanjin, there are also generals such as Zhang Ju, Liu Min, and Suo Zhou, these people are either fort generals, or county lieutenants of the county government, etc., or they were forced to surrender by Li Xin, or they saw Li Xin personally leading the army to come, and they lowered their banners and surrendered to Li Xin.

"Prime Minister, He Sui, the defender of Fushi County, is Liang Luoren's in-law, he is the Liang family, I am afraid it is not so simple to capture Fushi County, we have been attacking for so long, I am afraid He Sui already knows that our army is coming." Suo Zhou said loudly: "At this time, I am afraid that the defense of the city has been strengthened. ”

"Zhijie, let the brothers rest first, Zhijie stays, let's go and see." Li Xin's face was full of wind and frost, and ice crystals were faintly visible under the short beard under his chin, although Li Xin had been prepared for a long time, and the soldiers had also done a good job of preventing the cold, and every joint was stuffed with kapok, but in the past few days of high-intensity combat, even Li Xin could not bear it. However, until the war has been fought, Li Xin has no choice.

"Prime Minister, I'm afraid heavy snow is coming." Li Xin and the others rode their war horses with difficulty in the heavy snow, and Suo Zhou looked at the sky and couldn't help but say with some worry.

Li Xin nodded, he took a deep breath, took out a wine bag from his arms, took a deep breath, and then looked at the sky, only to see the wind rolling up outside, although it was daytime, he could still see the goose feathers and heavy snow whistling, if nothing else. There will be heavy snow tonight. Tomorrow, the entire county will be an ice city, and it will be extremely difficult to attack.

"Prime Minister, there is a lot of attrition in the army. It's better to set up a big camp here for the time being, and then go back to urge the transportation of grain and grass. Zhang Ju said with some concern. Now that the heavy snow has closed the road, Fushi County has strengthened its defenses, and if he wants to go in to find Neiying, it is not a matter of one or two days.

"This is an opportunity! Walk. Check it out. Li Xin shook his head and said: "Wait until we enter Fushi County, we will rest for a while, at this time, the enemy will never think that we will take this opportunity to attack, and after Gu inspected, the army was divided into two teams, Gu and Xuanba personally led the army from the city wall into Fushi County, and after opening the city gate, you followed Cheng Yanjin to quickly attack the city." ”

Li Xin rushed to the bottom of the city. Looking at the Fushi County in front of him, in the 20th year of the reign of King Zhen, Zhao's master father and Qi and Yan destroyed Zhongshan together, and moved the prince of Zhongshan to Beidi County, and the place where the prince of Xianyu lived was later named Fushi. Now Fushi County is the capital of Yan'an County, although the city wall is not as majestic as Chang'an and Luoyang, but in the vast snow, it looks much more dangerous.

"Did you see how many soldiers were on the walls?" Li Xin was draped in a white coat, raised his whip and pointed at the city wall and said with a smile: "The heavy snow is not only difficult for us, but also for the enemy. Look at the city wall, the enemy is not very tightly defended, this is our chance. ”

Everyone nodded, enduring the bitter cold. Looking at the city wall, I didn't expect that after a quarter of an hour, no one was patrolling the city wall, and after half an hour, I saw a group of soldiers patrolling slowly, and the soldiers were only two people. This made Li Xin shake his head again and again, even Zhang Ju and the others were also slightly red, but everyone used to belong to Liang Shidu, compared with Li Xin's army, tens of thousands of troops, marching in such weather, there was no complaint, the soldiers in Fushi County couldn't help this kind of weather at all, even if it was a patrol, it was just a show.

"This is our chance, as long as we can climb the walls in half an hour." Li Xinyang pointed to the distance and said.

"Prime Minister, the last general is willing to climb up." Zhang Ju hurriedly said.

"Prime Minister, the last general also wishes." Liu Min was not to be outdone.

"Haha, none of you." Li Xin laughed, led the crowd to run away, and said, "If you are not trained, I am afraid it will not work." Go, go back, prepare to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and seize Yan'an County. Although Zhang Ju and the others were a little unconvinced, they still followed, and everyone quickly disappeared under the city wall.

"Soldiers, in front of us is Yan'an County, which is one of our goals, and now the city is in front of us, as long as one charge will be taken by us, but it is covered with snow, brothers, today this king will go with you to conquer it." In front of the barracks, more than 10,000 soldiers stood in the snow, their bodies were snow-white, standing there quietly, but there were thousands of people behind the army, and there were some faint movements when they were standing, these people were the remnants of the defeated soldiers captured along the way.

"Do as the king commands." As Li Xin's Praetorian Guard, these 10,000 people are the elite of the elite, otherwise, they are all carefully selected from the hundreds of thousands of troops, otherwise, they will not follow Li Xin to the north.

"Zhijie, you will lead the rest of the army to come later, as long as the shouts of killing sound from the city, you can charge, I believe, at that time, we have opened the city gates." Li Xin said confidently.

"Prime Minister rest assured, the last general will definitely rush into the city in the shortest possible time." Cheng Yanjin said loudly.

"Let's go." Li Xin looked at Cheng Yanjin deeply, nodded, and he and Li Xuanba led 10,000 cavalry to kill the county seat of Fushi.

When he arrived at Fushi County, which was only a stone's throw away, Li Xin ordered people to get off their horses, go to the flying claw rope, and walk towards the city wall.

"Brother-in-law, look there." While walking, Li Xuanba suddenly pointed to the city wall in the distance and said, Li Xin found that he didn't know when a team of torches appeared on the city wall, the torches were shining, Li Xin's face changed, and he didn't want to think about it, so he lay down and slowly climbed forward. The rest of the more than 10,000 soldiers also fell to the ground one after another, following Li Xin.

"General, now that the snow is falling, don't say it's people, even those tigers and wolves won't come out to forage for food, although Li Xin is powerful, but it is very difficult to march in such weather, even if you go to the city of Fushi County, in such weather, if you want to attack, you are looking for death." Liang Fei, the deputy general beside He Sui, couldn't help but shake his head and said. Speaking of which, Liang Fei is also a relative of Liang Shidu, Liang Shidu rebelled, and he followed closely, although he has no ability, but he is always the Liang family, and he is still loyal.

"No, Li Xin's use of troops is very strange, and it is precisely because of this weather that it will be like this. We are more careful. Zhang Sui shook his head and said, I don't know why, he was uneasy tonight, and because of this, he pulled Liang Fei to inspect the city defense.

"General Zhang is really careful!" Liang Fei said disdainfully: "With such a city wall, how can you attack, when the heavy snow stops tomorrow, the city wall will be frozen, and if you want to take Yan'an City, unless Li Xin wants to fly over, it's almost the same." ”

"That's of course." Zhang Sui also nodded, and secretly laughed to himself in his heart, such weather is very cold in the big tent, not to mention the big war, Li Xin is also a soldier, if he attacks the county seat of Fushi at this time, it is purely looking for death. At the moment, he also said with a smile: "Let's go, General Liang, there is a pot of good wine hidden in my house, how about it, go to my house to drink?" ”

Liang Fei's eyes rolled, thought for a while and said: "**The night is short, at this time, you should hold a beautiful girl to warm yourself up." General Zhang, please forgive General Mo for not accompanying you. Say goodbye first, hehe! Liang Fei would accompany Zhang Sui here, arched his hand at him, and went down the city wall with a smile.

"Hehe, in that case, General Liang is easy to go." Zhang Sui felt a little contempt in his heart, his face was still full of smiles, and he personally sent Liang Fei down, and then told the soldiers around him: "Tell the brothers to patrol tonight, the Japanese general will have a heavy reward, and get some of the liquor in the belly, the soldiers patrol the city hard, you can drink some wine to warm up." ”

"Yes, the villain will do it right away." The soldiers beside Zhang Sui hurriedly said, and then escorted Zhang Sui back to Zhang's mansion.

It's a pity that although Zhang Sui has some ability, he is not a famous general in the end, he doesn't know the lessons of sharing weal and woe and leading by example, and he doesn't know that the general is still lazy, not to mention the soldiers, in such a cold weather, how many people are still patrolling seriously.

Suddenly, ropes flew out from under the city wall, after a light sound, the rope straightened, after a period of temptation, I saw hundreds of figures slowly rising from the prime minister, these people held the rope tightly with one hand, but the other hand was holding a dagger, the dagger hit the city wall, after a period of temptation, and then climbed up, the movement was cautious, looking from below, there was nothing to see at all. Only occasionally there would be a few muffled snorts, and they would fall under the city wall, and then they would see the white figure slowly climbing, and it was not until tea time that everyone climbed up the city wall.

"Prime Minister, what should I do now?" On the city wall, Li Xin showed a cold look, although this kind of rope hook is strong, but the technology of this era is not up to par, plus it is a snowy day, it is still very difficult to climb the city wall, even himself, if it is not supported by a dagger, his physique is quite good, I am afraid he will not go to the city so easily. Of the three hundred people who followed him in the first batch just now, I am afraid that dozens of them have fallen off the city wall, and the chance of survival is probably not great, which makes him very angry in his heart.

"Now go down and open the gates, and let the drawbridges open, and let the brethren enter the city, and kill anyone who resists." Li Xin's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he pulled out a big knife from behind his back and said viciously. (To be continued.) )
