Yangseong-gun.

At night, in the mountains and forests more than ten miles away from the county seat, 5,000 men and horses were quietly dormant.

In the commander's tent, Zhao Yuanjin and several generals watched the information sent by the scouts with a solemn face, the layout of the buildings in the city, the simple defense map of the imperial army, and the location of the grain and grass armory area.

This county town was originally Zhao Yuanjin's territory, and although it did not occupy it for a long time, the situation in the city was basically known. Moreover, a few days ago, when the imperial court army was large and had to shrink its forces and evacuate, Zhao Yuanjin also left a group of internal responses in the city, so that he could recapture the city when the time was right in the future.

This kind of arrangement has played a role that cannot be ignored so far, allowing Zhao Yuanjin to continue to learn about the recent movements of the imperial army in the city, even if the information is relatively vague.

"For more than a month, the county has been under martial law. The city gates are closed, and people are only allowed to enter and exit at an hour around noon every day, and the inventory is extremely strict......," Su Mu whispered.

Although the city is strong, with more than 20,000 soldiers and horses defending the city, the generals of the imperial court army in charge are still quite cautious, the city defense measures are strict and appropriate, there are soldiers on the city wall day and night, and the rangers patrol and investigate, and under normal circumstances, there is no possibility of a sneak attack.

Of course, from the actual analysis, there is no strength in the surrounding counties that can threaten the more than 20,000 imperial army at all, and there are only a few thousand combatable soldiers on Zhao Yuanjin's face, and the strength of the rest of the rogue rebel army is not enough.

And after such a long period of high alert, it has always been calm, and the imperial army has been a little slack from top to bottom. Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days?

Under normal circumstances, if you want to attack Yangcheng County, the attacking side does not have more than three times the elite troops, plus sufficient logistics supplies, basically don't expect to win in a short time.

"It seems that the strength of this county town is not as strong as Jingnan County, whether you have a heart or not, plus the help of the inside, it shouldn't be very difficult to take it." Qin Feng groaned.

At the beginning, Zhao Yuanjin owned the land of two counties, and in the face of the aggressive troops of the general Meng Luo, he finally decided to abandon Yangcheng County and shrink his strength to defend Jingnan County, which was based on this consideration.

"Having said that, without the help of Mr. Wang, it is still very risky to recapture this city with the current situation of our army. It can even be said that there is no hope of success at all. Zhao Yuanjin sighed and said.

After making a decision two days ago, Zhao Yuanjin did not delay too much, and set off with the army that night, and 5,000 men and horses followed the path and galloped, and now finally arrived near the county town unconsciously.

And judging from the current situation, the county town has not noticed the whereabouts of Zhao Yuanjin's troops, and all actions can be carried out according to the original plan.

"Let the whole army have a full meal, and then rest, wait until midnight to send troops, cooperate with Neiying to capture the city, and then rest after entering the city." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"What the gentleman said is very good, so be it." Zhao Yuan bowed his head.

In the forest, the soldiers set up their tents, covered them with leaves and hay, and laid blankets for rest.

Behind the low slope, the soldiers of the logistics battalion threw pieces of solid alcohol fuel into the dug stoves, and then lit them with windproof lighters and set up iron pots, which was extremely simple and convenient.

These things were naturally obtained by Qin Feng, and they were much easier to operate than the primitive and backward firewood, flint, and fire folds, and there would be no smoke exposure at all.

After a while, the water in the pot boiled, and then pieces of sliced cooked beef mixed with spiced spices were thrown in, and after a while, the air was filled with an enticing aroma, and some of the pots were boiled with eggs, milk, and the like.

These things were processed long before departure, and now they are simply heated and ready to eat. And the big war is coming, not the time to save, in order to ensure the vigorous physical fitness of the soldiers, Qin Feng did not hesitate and took out all the best food.

In many cases, wars are fought with logistics, resources. And in this regard, Zhao Yuanjin's department has already thrown the imperial army away from the gap of more than a dozen streets.

He even wondered if he would want to get some good things like canned marching food, nutrition bars, waterproof tents, and camping sleeping bags in the future.

Su Mu personally took a bowl of broth and brought it to Zhao Yuanjin, he took it and took a sip and nodded secretly. Even he was satisfied with the taste, not to mention the soldiers below. The positive significance of good and adequate food to the morale of the army is understood by the wise commander.

With Qin Feng in the army, there is no need to worry about logistics and supply, and they are all supplied to the highest standard in this era, ensuring that there is no pressure on the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

“…… It's a pity that my daughter is only ten years old this year, otherwise I can really consider giving it to this stranger, as long as he helps, let alone call Wang Liguo, the future will be this world, and there may not be no hope to fight. Zhao Yuanjin suddenly had such a thought in his heart.

Half an hour later, the whole army finished their meal and entered the camp tent to rest.

Qin Feng couldn't sleep, just leaned on the blanket and closed his eyes to recuperate. Before the big war, it is impossible to say that you are not nervous. These 5,000 men and horses are already Zhao Yuanjin's most important family background, if he loses this battle, I am afraid that there will be no chance to start all over again.

Feng Qingyun, who reacted, would definitely spare no effort to chase and fight, and never let them return to Jingnan County safely. At that time, except for Qin Feng, none of the others could survive.

In the early hours of the morning, the whole army was awakened, sorted out their weapons and quietly set off.

An hour later, the eastern sky was already faintly white, and five thousand soldiers stopped two miles outside the city, quietly waiting for the city's internal response to be launched.

Qin Feng looked at the tall city wall hidden in the night in the distance, with a little light on it, and occasionally he could see soldiers on night patrol staggering by. This is the time when the human body is most tired and sleepy, and laziness and coping with errands are inevitable.

"It looks normal, everything that needs to be done has been done, I hope there won't be a problem." He thought to himself.

Perhaps the generals of the imperial court army in charge of the county town foresaw the possibility that Zhao Yuanjin would make a desperate bet, but they would never have thought that he would come so quickly.

Moreover, at this moment, Feng Qingyun's army is close at hand, and it will arrive almost the next morning, as long as Zhao Yuanjin still has a little brain, he will not come to fight the idea of the county town at this time, that is no different from looking for death.

The two armies were about to converge, so the generals in the city were a little relaxed, which was human nature. Unfortunately, the history of later generations has proved more than once that the more critical the moment, the higher the probability of an accident.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound at the city gate, and the smoke of a huge fire rose up, and there was a faint sound of shouting and scolding, mixed with the sonorous sound of the clashing of blades.

"All the troops are attacking!" Zhao Yuanjin clenched his fists fiercely and gritted his teeth to order.

Success or defeat is here!

5,000 soldiers rushed to the city gate in spite of the rolling iron stream.

By the time the striker rushed into the city gate, hundreds of them should have died, and the rest were all wounded. This kind of errand is surprisingly high-risk, and since you take it, you have to have a sense of death. It's brutal, but it's also realistic.

"Kill!"

A team of elite soldiers roared angrily and slaughtered the surrounding imperial army, and in an instant, swords, swords, and blood burst out, screaming again and again.

The reaction of the imperial army was even faster than expected, but at this moment most of the soldiers were resting in the camp, and there were not many people on duty near the city, so when the city gate was opened and the Zhao army rushed into the city, the overall situation was irreparable.

The fierce fighting at the gate continued, and after a while, as more and more Zhao troops poured into the city, the imperial army finally could not support it and began to retreat.

Under the big flag, hundreds of soldiers surrounded Zhao Yuanjin and entered the city gate, and Qin Feng was on the side. At this moment, all the generals showed a relieved look on their faces.

Although there were more than 20,000 imperial troops in the city, they were attacked at night, and it was simply unrealistic to organize a counterattack, and the Zhao army would not give them a chance.

So Yangcheng County has changed its owner from this moment on.
