Chapter 107: Night Attack, Recovering Li City
"He Liancheng, this brute, it's not enough to kill all the defenders of Licheng, and now he doesn't even let go of the unarmed people, it's not human!"
When Shen Qianmo received the news and hurried to the conference hall, he heard Cao Xun's rough curse from inside.
In the conference hall, Wen Renyuan, Yun Fei and other generals were also indignant.
When everyone saw Shen Qianmo come in, they all saluted her in unison. "I've seen Princess Xuan."
Shen Qianmo nodded, without any extra politeness, and asked directly, "How is the situation of the people in Licheng?" â
Cao Xun sighed deeply, and said in a sad tone: "In fact, after the siege of Licheng by the Beidi army, not many people have survived, and they are basically old and weak, women and children, and the thirty people who were slaughtered today are all old people and children, and a few are only five or six years old. He Liancheng, this brute, what is he doing this for? â
Thinking of the thirty bloody human heads hanging high above the city tower, Cao Xun only felt that his blood was surging, and he couldn't wait to rush to He Liancheng immediately and slash him with a knife.
He has a bright and upright voice, open-mindedness, and he can't see the crooked methods of evil ways. The two armies are fighting, each for its own master, and if they want to fight, they will fight in a righteous and bright way, and they will speak with strength. Soldiers can fight bloody battles and die on the battlefield, but how innocent are the people, why should they attack them?
"Could it be that in yesterday's battle, the Eagle was defeated by the Feiyun Rider, which made him lose face and hold a grudge, so the people of Nali City vented their anger?" One of the generals speculated loudly.
Come to think of it, it seems that this is the only reason.
"If this is the case, he could have killed all the people in Li City at once, why kill thirty of them every day, and hang out the heads as if we didn't know, so much trouble?" Yun Fei frowned and pondered, asking questions.
Yes, why did He Liancheng kill a few people with such fanfare?
Everyone looked at each other, and then they all turned their heads to Shen Qianmo, who was sitting quietly on the top seat.
Shen Qianmo frowned slightly, and said slowly: "If venting anger is not He Liancheng's purpose, then there is only one possibility for him to kill people in such a high-profile manner, and that is to take the people of Licheng as hostages and force us to attack Licheng as soon as possible." â
"And He Liancheng must have already set a trap in Licheng, just waiting for us to send it to the door, can he come to catch turtles in an urn?" Yun Fei sneered, "I didn't expect this He Liancheng to be so vicious!" â
If this is the case, then if they rashly attack Li Cheng, they are likely to fall into the trap of He Liancheng.
In fact, they only need to hold on to Jinyang Pass for another three days. Three days later, whether it is Meng Yuanheng or Jingzhou Meng Jiajun, they will all arrive. When they take Li City again, they will have a chance of winning several times more.
However, in the past few days, have they just watched the innocent and tragic death of the people of Licheng?
Li Cheng, is it to attack or not to attack?
Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Shen Qianmo again.
Shen Qianmo knew that they were all waiting for her to make a decision.
Since she is leading the troops in place of Meng Yuanheng this time, this decision must be made by her.
However, this decision is a great matter, and it is related to the safety of tens of thousands of soldiers in Jinyang Pass and Feiyun Cavalry.
Shen Qianmo's eyebrows frowned slightly, and after a while, she spit out a word firmly.
"Attack."
Ah Heng, if it were you, would you have made the same decision? Shen Qianmo clenched the celadon cup in her hand, thinking of the man who was decisive in killing, her eyes gradually brightened.
is such a short and resolute word, but it makes Wen Renyuan and Cao Xun and other generals boil.
The duty of a soldier is to protect the country and defend the people, if you see the people being slaughtered, but they shrink in Jinyang Pass and make a living, how can they be worthy of the word "soldier"!
Li Cheng, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, they have to break in.
After the decision, it is time to act.
Wen Renyuan and Cao Xun are both veterans, and it is obvious that the two of them are more experienced in this kind of siege, Shen Qianmo listened to their deployment quietly, and did not do much to deal with it.
Everything was ready, and after nightfall, the assault on LĂŞ City officially began.
Beidi has 100,000 soldiers and horses, and they are only half of Beidi's soldiers.
With a huge disparity in strength and outnumbered, this night attack must be a surprise victory and hit the heart of the enemy.
They were divided into three routes, the middle route led by Yun Fei to more than 100 shadow guard masters in Woyun Villa as the vanguard, sneaked into the interior of Li City, first set fire to the grain, create turmoil, and then killed the enemy, cut down the handsome flag, and shook the heart of the Beidi army. On the left, Wen Renyuan led 20,000 Feiyun cavalry elites, and on the right, Cao Xun led 20,000 Jinyangguan soldiers.
The remaining 10,000 Feiyun cavalry, as well as the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the imperial court brought by Yao Wentao, continued to garrison Jinyang Pass in case He Liancheng came to transfer the tiger away from the mountain.
The night was thick and the wind was howling, and Yun Fei led the shadow guard of Woyun Mountain Villa to set off first, as quiet as a ghost, as if it was one with the dark night.
Shen Qianmo was wearing a cloak, standing on the high city wall of Jinyang Pass, looking at the direction of Licheng not far away.
There was a faint rumbling sound in the distance, like muffled thunder, shaking the vast land of Jinyang Pass.
Then a beam of fire rose into the sky, instantly tearing apart the dark night sky, and also illuminating Shen Qianmo's calm eyes.
This is the signal of the general attack!
Wen Renyuan and Cao Xun had already led 40,000 elite cavalry to launch a strong attack on Licheng at the moment when the flames burst out.
The wind fueled the fire, and the fire on the horizon grew stronger and stronger, and finally evolved into a monstrous momentum.
The sound of horses' hooves, the sound of killing, the sound of weapons, the sound of screams, the sound of the sound. Shen Qianmo seemed to be able to smell the smell of blood wafting through the air.
It can be imagined how tragic this battle was.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night, but also a night of fighting.
Shen Qianmo stood quietly on top of the city tower, and one stop was a night.
The sky is getting brighter, and scattered snowflakes begin to fall in the misty sky, embellishing the gloomy Jinyang Pass with some moving scenery.
The snow at the border always comes very early.
Lu Zhu accompanied him and asked softly, "Miss, it's almost dawn, and I don't know how General Wenren and Master Yunzhuang are doing?" â
"But are you worried about Xue Hao?" Shen Qianmo asked with a faint smile.
"Miss...... You're making fun of the slave again! The green bamboo was full of shyness, and a faint red glow rose on the pretty goose egg face.
Shen Qianmo turned around to help her tighten her clothes, and said softly: "In the future, don't call yourself a slave anymore, I have never treated you as a slave." â
"Miss......" Lu Zhu choked up, and his eyes were full of tears.
I am so fortunate to be able to follow such a good master in this life.
At this time, a man and a rider came galloping from far and near, and soon came to the bottom of the city tower.
It's Xue Hao!
He raised his head and reported to Shen Qianmo in a loud voice: "Princess Qiyu, Licheng has been recovered." â
The battle to recover Licheng was unexpectedly smooth.
Feiyunqi conquered Licheng overnight, and the 100,000 troops of Beidi were forced to retreat back thirty miles and set up camp in Xieyang Valley outside Jinyang Pass.
After a night of fierce fighting, the city was full of scorched black marks left by the smoke of war, which made the already dilapidated old city even more crumbling. Shen Qianmo walked on the streets full of ruins, and everywhere she saw was desolate.
In front of a mansion, this is the largest mansion in Licheng, and it is also the place where He Liancheng temporarily resides these days.
Crossing the high threshold, I saw that the tables and chairs were overturned everywhere in the courtyard, and it was messy.
The backyard is quiet and the study is located. The study was empty, with little to nothing but desks, chairs, and bookshelves.
It can be seen that He Liancheng had been prepared for a long time and had cleaned up his things before leaving.
In the corner under the desk is a waste paper basket, due to the professional habits developed at the scene of the long-term investigation of the crime, Shen Qianmo subconsciously bent down and picked up a residual paper ball in the paper basket.
Unfolded, tiled, with only three words on it.
Shen Qianmo.
The pen is strong, the trend is sharp, the pen is through the back of the paper, and the last stroke of the word "foam", the pen and ink suddenly become thicker, that pinch, heavy through the edge of the back of the paper, seems to show the infinite anger and boundless hatred of the person who wrote at that time.
Although Luzhu is not literate, he recognizes the name of his own young lady.
She covered her mouth and screamed softly, "Miss, why did that He Liancheng write your name?" â
Shen Qianmo looked at these three strong and powerful characters fixedly, and smiled indifferently.
"I guess I hate it to the core."
Yun Fei said worriedly on the side: "Qianmo, He Liancheng is extremely ruthless and scheming, if he has a grudge against you, you should be more careful." â
Shen Qianmo nodded, and said to Wen Renyuan: "General Wenren, tell the soldiers to be careful in Licheng, He Liancheng must have his intentions in bringing us here." â
"My subordinates understand." Wen Renyuan's square and resolute face is also full of dignified.
Last night's battle, everything went too well. It is clear that this is a conspiracy by Helian Cheng.
It's just that they have no clue what kind of situation this He Liancheng has laid out in Licheng.
