Chapter 595: Good News Spreads

The process of anxious waiting was long and difficult, Hu Xianxian's tense nerves were almost numb, and the sky finally lit up with three red lights.

It was the offensive signal agreed with Fan Dingyao, and she immediately ordered people to beat drums, drums, and siege the city!

"Knock knock knock...... Qiang Qiang ...... Knock ......"

The more than 100 people she brought with her were originally dozing and didn't wake up, but when they heard the sonorous drums, they all suddenly became energetic and acted quickly.

However, instead of rushing in the direction of the city gate, they withdrew with shields in hand on both sides, making way for an empty road four feet wide.

The soldiers who rushed out of the cart on the empty road were the equipment borrowed from Lei Peng.

Running next to the car were the soldiers borrowed by Lei Peng, these soldiers were different from ordinary soldiers, they were not wearing copper helmets and iron armor, but wearing leather helmets that covered their heads and only exposed their eyes and nose, and wore light and soft leather armor.

Because of the lightness and convenience of this leather armor, they are also known as the "light armor army". Hu Xianxian once asked them where the leather armor of the light armor came from, and they said that it was made of some kind of fish skin in the extremely cold land.

When the cart reached the moat, the ordinary soldiers immediately retreated, shielded themselves with shields, and slowly retreated to the camps on both sides.

The leather armoured army quickly unloaded the special ladder, and they worked in pairs to carry the ladder and place it on the bank of the moat. Ten soldiers set up ladders, while another ten soldiers stood on the side.

The ladder was placed horizontally, and after several operations, the folded ladder bounced open in three sections and stretched out to the other side of the moat.

Hu Xianxian was invisible in mid-air, and she had to guard against the rebels defending the city from shooting cold arrows to ensure that all the light armor troops were returned to Lei Peng unharmed.

But at this time, she felt that her worries were really unnecessary, the rebels had discovered them in action, but only a few arrows were fired, and the targets of the arrows were mainly the shield soldiers on both sides.

She thought about it, and from the angle from which she hovered in the air, those light armored troops were only conspicuous by the cloud ladder, and there were almost no people in sight, it should be that the rebels had not yet discovered those besieging light armored troops.

In the very short time she had been observing, all five of the Light Armor Armour's ladders had turned into small bridges across the moat.

The ten people who were waiting by the side had already stepped on the bridge, and instead of climbing the city wall first, they pressed the ladder head mechanism.

A slight sound of breaking wind sounded, and copper chains flew out from the head of the ladder, and the hook and claw at the end of the chain firmly grasped the stone wall of the city wall.

The ten lightly armored soldiers who crossed the bridge first walked up the chain like monkeys, and the rebels finally noticed that someone had climbed the city wall, and the Changge iron fork and the like poked straight down.

Hu Xianxian flew close to the lightly armored soldiers who climbed the wall to protect them, and after flying closer, he felt that they might not need protection.

This surprise attack on the city and climbing the city wall is either to hook the head of the wall with the claws of the flying tiger, or to select people with special abilities to swim up the wall with gecko skills.

Both of these methods have drawbacks, as they are easy to be spotted by the enemy, and if you pull out the Flying Tiger Claw or stab the wall creeper, you will fail. It is more difficult to climb with special martial arts, it is not easy to select and train soldiers who can do gecko skills first, and it is impossible to resist when climbing with bare hands and encountering attacks.

The chain claws that pop out of the ladder are shorter than the hooks of the Flying Tiger's claws, and they have a blunt mouth instead of a sharp mouth, and are attached to the stone wall rather than hooked to the wall. In this way, the movement of climbing the wall will be very small, which greatly increases the chance of a successful surprise attack.

The rebels at the head of the city could not pull the chain claws, and when they stabbed the light armoured army with a fork or the like, they were able to dodge with the swift swing of the copper chain.

Hu Xianxian originally wanted to extend the aura to form a light shield to protect the light armored army, but she didn't expect that when she was distracted and observed the equipment, there were already light armored troops jumping up to the city to fight the rebels.

Soon, more than 100 ordinary soldiers with shields also went down the ladder to the base of the city wall and stormed the city gate.

At the same time, the ten light armored soldiers who did not climb the wall pressed the ladder head mechanism, only to hear the sound of "instigation" of the chain, and the ladder was quickly erected under the pull of the chain claw that adsorbed the stone wall!

The ten lightly armored soldiers climbed the ladder first, and the ordinary soldiers followed!

Hu Xianxian was worried about how to erect the bulky copper ladder, how to stabilize the head of the round ladder against the wall, and so on, but at this moment it seems that he is all blind and worried.

This ladder is a bridge to cross the moat, a tool to climb the city wall, and a ladder that originally functions as a ladder......

No longer worrying about their battle on the tower, she flew down behind the gates. She raised her hand to dust off the red snow, and the cold wind carried the ice particles out, attacking the more than ten rebel soldiers guarding the lock behind the door.

In just a few moments, the dozen or so rebel soldiers were all killed and fell to the ground. She raised the red snow again, and the three door bars of the heavy copper door were all disconnected by brushing!

The Pingyue army at the head of the city was in a state of defeat against the enemy, and the survivors of the rebels fled in panic, but they only learned that the city gate was wide open after they jumped downstairs.

They regarded it as the gate of the city where they could escape, and Hu Xian Xian stood coldly in the air like a blood-devouring witch!

Many of the rebels were frightened and knelt down and begged for mercy: "We surrender...... We are willing to surrender...... The heavenly soldiers of the imperial court are coming, and we must abandon the darkness and turn to the ......."

Hu Xianxian didn't answer, but threw three iron pills from his sleeve and threw them into the air. That was to send a signal to Fan Dingyao, the iron pellet would explode in the air as a point of light, and different colors of light represented different meanings.

After she sent out the signal, she shouted with aura, but her voice was calm and not loud, but the people in the city could hear it clearly: "The imperial court sent the Pingyue army to recover Yuezhou and appease the people, don't be afraid of the Yuezhou army and people!"

The emperor cares about the people of the Dafa Dynasty in the city, and orders me not to wait to attack the city! The emperor is benevolent, the anti-thief is not benevolent, the Pingyue army is not unable to break the city, but it is unbearable to break the city!

Rebels and traitors, listen up, tonight's battle is a wake-up call, and if you don't surrender the city quickly, it will definitely lead to the destruction of the city and the slaughter of the people! After the calamity, it is you who will destroy the people of this city! ”

At the same time as she shouted, the Pingyue army had retreated from the city gate one after another, and even the dozens of soldiers who had not yet allowed them to surrender had to take the initiative to withdraw with their hands tied.

Hu Xianxian saw that the personnel had almost retreated, so he flew high in the air. At this moment, soldiers from other parts of the rebels had arrived, and she raised her hand to pick up the stones, mud and sand outside the city, and poured them into the reinforcements.

The sand and rocks flew at the city gate in an instant, and the rebel reinforcements covered their faces and noses, and some were hit by slightly larger stones and were smashed to the point of bleeding.

The intensity of these attacks was not strong, but they effectively prevented them from pursuing the Binh Viet army. When they gave up the pursuit and went to find the lock to close the city gate again, Hu Xianxian flew away.

When flying away, looking down, I saw that the Pingyue army retreated in an orderly manner to three miles away from the city and began to camp, while the rebels were repairing the city gate in a panic and mourning and collecting the corpses of their comrades.

After dawn, Fan Dingyao came to the camp outside the south gate, praised them for their bravery, and said that they had reported that they had entered Beijing, and the imperial court would reward all the soldiers.

The soldiers roared with joy and asked him when he would really attack the city and break the enemy. Fan Dingyao told them to calm down for a while, and promised to take them to recover Yuezhou with a complete victory.

Subsequently, Fan Dingyao and Hu Xianxian separately talked in detail about the battle situation last night.

After the night attack, the defenders of the rebel south gate killed 37 and more than 20 seriously wounded, surrendered 24, and only 11 soldiers hiding in the corner were slightly wounded. On the other hand, only three soldiers of the Binh Viet Army were slightly wounded, which was an absolute victory.

This result was due to the fact that the rebels were confused, believing that Hu Xianxian and his daughters relied on crooked ways to bluff people and would not be able to unify the army, so that the defense of the south gate was weak; It is also because of the magical way of attacking the city by the light armor army, so that the rebels do not know how to deal with it.

Hu Xianxian asked him about the next step, and he laughed so that the rebels knew that the ambush on the west gate was just a pretense, and asked them to go out from the west gate to ask for foreign help.

"Isn't this a self-exposure of shortcomings? If they do bring in foreign help, won't we be exposed to the enemy? Hu Xianxian was a little puzzled.

"Of course, it is impossible for them to really ask for foreign help, they are hiding in the city like a hard turtle shell. Our actual strength is not enough to really besiege them, so we have to find a way to let the 'turtles show their heads' and keep hitting them, so that they can't find out our true strength. ”

After Fan Dingyao said this, Hu Xianxian understood that besieging the enemy was false, and it was true to harass and disrupt the enemy.

Because he had to go to Zheng Tianba again to explain the plan, Fan Dingyao only stayed for a while and rode to the east gate.

Soon after he went, Hu Xianxian's palms were slightly hot, and it was Cheng Hao's wind spirit talisman that arrived.

The talisman reads: Good news is frequent, the husband is very relieved, overcomes difficulties, suffers a lot of hardships, and washes the dust for his wife during the period of reunion. Because the capital has been difficult to overcome for a long time, the rebels have shown fatigue, and there is a Pingkuo army in its lair, Han Zecan gradually has the intention of withdrawing his troops to protect his lair. The main forces have entered the stage of stalemate from the stage of confrontation, and victory is just around the corner.

After reading it, Hu Xianxian smiled shyly and said to himself: "What husband...... Wife and wife...... Looking at your gibberish, you know that the siege of the capital will definitely be eased, hum, it's not too much to write so much......"

After muttering a few words, she was about to reply to a spirit rune, but she didn't know what to write after thinking about it. In the end, I had to write two sentences dryly: Don't be arrogant about consecutive victories, and completely destroy the rebels and celebrate again. The thought of the king, that is, my thought, does not feel hard.

After sitting on the big stone behind the bushes for a while, she put away her thoughts and returned to the camp to take the twenty-four soldiers to Haifeng County for proper settlement.

Regardless of whether these people are sincere or not, it is difficult to have a suitable position on the front line for them, so it is more appropriate for Fan Chuyao to carefully observe them for a while before assigning them.

Because he didn't have any baggage, he just kept hurrying, and when he returned, he flew directly, and Hu Xianxian rushed back to the outside of Yuezhou in the early morning of February 17.

At this time, she did not return to the camp first, but went to prepare for the battle eight miles outside the west gate of Yuezhou, where there was an elite Pingyue army led by Fan Dingyao himself to ambush.

With dead branches on their heads and vines wrapped around them, they crouched in the weeds with bated breath. If it weren't for Hu Xianxian's ability to tell that there was a military majesty in it, she wouldn't have been able to find their hiding place just by looking at it with the naked eye.

Before that, the group of people who were about two miles away from the west gate had withdrawn. When they left, they left a lot of straw people in the same place, and the straw men also posted notes reprimanding Han Zejiong and persuading the soldiers and civilians of Yuezhou to surrender.

The rebels were attacked at the south gate, and when they saw that the west gate was quiet, they had already noticed that the west gate did not have a large number of ambushes. After sending the spies out of the city, they saw straw men and notes, and they believed that there was no Pingyue army outside the West Gate.

Han Zejiong was a timid and suspicious person, he didn't dare to speculate that the strength of the Pingyue army was simply not enough to besiege Yuezhou City, he just wanted to act steadily. While he ordered him to hold the city, he sent a group of thirty light horsemen to the field to ask for help.
