Three days later, at dusk. table

Xingzhou Mansion, ten miles north of the city, in a dense forest.

Xue Rengui sat on a big stone to rest, next to the guards on guard, in order not to reveal their whereabouts, the group did not ride horses, did not even take the official road, but rushed overnight, rested during the day, picked the mountain and forest trails, and found local hunters to lead the way.

After two nights of rapid marching, the army finally reached this wood, and after a day's rest, its strength was fully recovered, and one by one it was preparing for battle.

"General, drink some water." A guard on the ground with a water bladder.

Xue Rengui's guards were the nearly 2,000 people who survived in Moon Bow City, all of them were the elite of the elite, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong, and many of them even held important positions in the army, assisting in the training and management of the army, and the army was able to form a strong combat effectiveness in just a few months.

"Newspaper—"

A scout hurried over, followed by a man in brocade, which was the unique attire of the guards, also known as the brocade guard. table

Jin Yiwei stepped forward quickly, hugged his fists and said, "See General Xue!" ”

"How about your hard work?" Xue Rengui got up and asked, handing the water bladder over.

The other party was not polite, took a few mouthfuls of it, and then handed back the water bladder, and said: "General Xie gave water, and the brothers arrived outside the city of Xingzhou, asking to see the governor of Xingzhou, but they never saw it. ”

"Dare to insult the King of Han and look for death!"

Xue Rengui was furious, his face instantly became gloomy, and he shouted: "After I go back, tell the King of Han that General Ben will definitely take Xingzhou tonight, otherwise he will come to see him." ”

"Farewell!" The other party didn't linger, clasped his fists and saluted, turned around and hurried away.

The commander of the accompanying division said angrily: "General, let my division take the lead, take Xingzhou, cut off the head of the governor of Xingzhou, and dare to insult the King of Han, I will be punished!" "Mound

"Yes, nimbal!" Everyone chimed in, angry.

Xue Rengui raised his hand to signal quiet, thinking about the plan for tonight's battle, to fight, but also to reduce casualties.

After pondering for a moment, Xue Rengui continued: "The governor of Xingzhou is so arrogant, he must think that my army is dragged by Qinzhou and cannot come over in a short time, as long as Qinzhou is undefeated, Xingzhou will be safe, so there will not be too much vigilance. ”

"Obey!" Several division commanders solemnly received orders and hurriedly went.

The woods where he was hiding were only ten miles away from Xingzhou, and the hurried march took about half an hour, so he was not in a hurry.

Soon, the woods fell silent again, and even Xue Rengui found a place to lie down and rest.

The autumn woods were still sweltering, the moonlight was like water, softly falling down, tightly enveloping every soldier, and the unknown insects had resumed their chirping, as if they had adapted to the presence of people. table

"Rustle!"

The wind was blowing, and the leaves made a soft moxing sound, like a couple whispering.

Peaceful, peaceful!

I don't know how long it took, Xue Rengui suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the sky, and judged that the time was almost up based on experience, so he quickly got up and asked the guard who was on guard to bring the horse lance.

When the soldiers saw Xue Rengui get up, they woke up each other, got up one after another, and picked up their weapons.

"Let's go!"

At the sound of an order, the soldiers followed silently, one by one indifferent, like wolves foraging for food. table

In the middle of the night, the wilderness is deserted, and there is no need to cover up.

The march was hurried, and after half an hour the army arrived two miles outside the city and stopped.

The moon is hazy tonight, the visibility is not high, and it is completely invisible from a distance of two kilometers.

But out of prudence, Xue Rengui did not kill directly with great fanfare, observed for a while, and signaled several division commanders to start deploying the battle sequence after approaching, who entered the city first, and what he was responsible for after entering the city, he was particular.

If you want to take Xingzhou with fewer casualties, the only way is to fight quickly.

Xue Rengui brought a army of soldiers and horses, five divisions, arranged for two divisions to go straight to the camp after entering the city, blocked the defenders in the camp and did not come out, and then arranged two divisions to attack the defenders on the city wall, and one division was responsible for responding, where there was a need for support, he personally led the guard regiment to go straight to the governor's mansion, and after catching the governor of Xingzhou, he took it to the camp to persuade him to surrender.

After some deployment, the divisions received orders and hurriedly went to deploy. table

After a stick of incense.

Xue Rengui moved forward with his big hand, and a team of brocade guards who came with the army hurriedly stepped forward, each with an explosive bag in his hand, and a spare one on his back, and hurried forward with his body bowed.

There are few people and small targets, and they are scattered and rushed through the cover of the surrounding terrain, and soon infiltrated the city.

The guards of the city probably thought that the Hanzhou army was in Qinzhou, and their vigilance was not high, so they failed to find anyone approaching.

After waiting for a while, Xue Rengui was overjoyed when he saw the signal from the city gate, and quickly looked at the two division commanders who were on standby, and the two nodded knowingly, and moved forward with their big hands.

The two divisions quickly touched the target from two directions, and under the moonlight, like a pack of foraging wolves approaching the target.

Perhaps it was the support of the heavens, the moon burrowed into the dark clouds, and the visibility was even lower. table

The soldiers smoothly advanced to a stone's throw outside the city, slowing down one after another to avoid exposing themselves too loudly.

Xue Rengui also touched it with the guards, and saw that the defenders on the city wall were not alert, so he was relieved, but he didn't take the risk to continue advancing, and looked at the head of the guard regiment, the head of the regiment nodded knowingly, and quickly touched it alone.

A person with a smaller target, the regimental commander was as fast as the wind, his body was pressed very low, and he quickly rushed into the reflection of the city wall, the reflection was pitch black, the visibility was lower, and the risk of exposure was less.

Soon, the regimental commander rushed to the city gates and conveyed the order to attack.

The Jinyi guards quickly lit the explosives bag that had been prepared long ago, exited the city gate hole, dodged to both sides, covered their ears, and opened their mouths wide.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, earth-shattering, shaking the night sky. table

A huge fireball rushed out of the city gate hole, and the orange-red light tore through the night, illuminating the surroundings, like a fiery red sun, the city gate was shattered, and the rammed earth of the city wall also flew away.

"Kill—"

Xue Rengui was overjoyed when he saw the city gate explode, and when he got up, he rushed forward, shouting and ordering.

The soldiers got up and rushed up, the blood boiled, the city gate was closed, everyone couldn't get in, and they were sent to death when they approached the city wall, but once the city gate was broken, what else was there to be afraid of? It's just a lot of credit.

"Kill—"

For a while, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and countless soldiers flocked to the city and rushed into the city.

Xue Rengui took the lead, slashing several soldiers to death, with a sharp blade across the neck of an officer-like person, shouting: "Say, how to go to the Governor's Mansion, spare you from death?" "Mound

The other party still wanted to be tough, seeing Xue Rengui's indifferent eyes, he had no doubt that he would kill himself, he could ask others if he killed himself, there was always someone to show the way, and he couldn't do it desperately, so he hurriedly said: "In front, the small one is willing to lead the way, please don't kill the small one." ”

"Hurry up!"

Xue Rengui urged, and the battle intent on his body surged.
