Zheng Guangzu, who had infiltrated Jinling City at this time, quickly received an order from Qi Heng, and the moment he received the order, Zheng Guangzu made a special gesture to the shadow guard in the corner of the wall in front of him.

Shadow Guard comprehended, and as the fire fold ignited, a flash of fire quickly flickered.

Following the lamp oil that had been arranged in advance, the military camp in Jinling City was ablaze in just a dozen breaths.

Along with the burning of the fire, an overwhelming smoke rose from the sky.

At this time, the generals of the Yuan army, who were guarding the city wall of Jinling City, stood on the city wall and soon found the smoke rising from the direction of the military camp.

He dragged the soldier next to him and asked, "Where did that smoke?" ”

The soldier looked at the direction of the smoke and said with some uncertainty: "General, there.... It seems to be a barracks......"

As soon as the soldier's words were finished, the Yuan army general's eyes suddenly widened, and he hurriedly shouted: "Quick, send someone to check it out." ”

As he spoke, he also looked back around the city, and saw that there was no sign of the enemy army on the entire plain, so he turned around and led the people towards the barracks.

On this trip, the soldiers responsible for guarding the north gate of Jinling were dispatched 100 people.

Jinling City is very large, the inner area of Haozhou City is about twice the size of Huanggang City, and Jinling City is the size of ten Haozhou Cities.

The 3,000 defenders seem to be a lot in terms of numbers, and it is not a problem to rely on the advantage of the city wall to face more than 10,000.

However, Jinling City is too big, and the city is bigger, so the scope of the city wall will naturally increase.

In particular, Jinling Castle is divided into two gates, north and south.

In addition to the necessary troop consumption such as patrolling the city, there are not many soldiers who can be used to defend the north and south walls and city gates.

There are about eight or nine hundred on one side.

Now that more than a hundred people have been dispatched to extinguish the fire, the already small number of defenders has been reduced again.

Moreover, as the fire in the barracks and around the area became more and more fierce, a steady stream of soldiers from all over the country were still being dispatched to extinguish the fire.

I have to say that the location chosen by Zheng Guangzu to set the fire is very level.

If it was an important location such as a granary, it was certain that the Jinling defenders would rush to extinguish the fire, but in Zheng Guangzu's eyes, this Jinling City was basically in their pockets.

If the granary is set on fire at this time, it may not be someone else who will be uncomfortable, but themselves.

Therefore, those things that will affect their future defense of the city cannot be burned casually.

But if you find a random place to set fire, it will not have the effect of mobilizing the defenders of the city gate.

Therefore, Zheng Guangzu simply chose a place that has nothing to do with ordinary people, the military camp!

Not to mention that the barracks are very large, it doesn't matter if they burn it all, even if it is all burned out, it will not be too much of a problem for them to defend the city in the future, it will be in the open air if it is a big deal, and there will be no problem in a short time.

But for the defenders of Jinling City, it was their own house, and it was impossible not to save it.

After getting all of this, Zheng Guangzu did not stop acting.

With a total of more than 200 shadow guards and military guards in the city at this time, they began to set fire everywhere in the city in places similar to military camps.

Not only that, but they also occupied the gunpowder workshop in Jinling City, hijacked the entire gunpowder workshop without the outside world knowing it, and imprisoned all the people and craftsmen in the gunpowder workshop.

When entering the city, it was necessary to search, so in order to avoid the trouble of being discovered, Zheng Guangzu did not bring any weapons and tools with him when he entered the city this time.

Naturally, it is easy to find things that set fire, and it is not difficult to get some weapons in this Jinling City.

It's just that this gunpowder is not available in ordinary places.

After occupying the entire gunpowder workshop, leaving only a few military guards to stay here, Zheng Guangzu himself rushed towards the north of Jinling City with most of his men.

According to his agreement with Qi Heng, the firelight is the signal to do it.

I think I should have already left at this time.

In order to cooperate with their siege, so as not to lose too many troops during the siege, Zheng Guangzu planned to blow up the gate of Jinling City!

Just as Zheng Guangzu guessed, at this time, Qi Heng on the outside hill immediately ordered the whole army to march when he saw the billowing smoke rising from the city.

The 20,000 rebels, each wearing black armor and helmets, looked black from a distance.

As they acted, smoke filled the air.

At this time, the soldiers of Jinling City, who were on duty at the head of the city, suddenly widened their eyes when they saw this scene.

How many years have they been stationed in Jinling City all year round and have not fought in a war?

It's been a long time since I've seen anyone attacking Jinling City.

When I suddenly saw this scene at this moment, my first feeling was that I was dazzled.

But when this scene was clearly seen by everyone around them, they finally understood that this time they were not dazzled, but someone really wanted to attack the city!

In an instant, the war drums of the enemy siege were beaten, and as the drums spread, they became known to everyone in the range.

At the same time, the trumpets began to sound.

Just as they were nervously preparing for battle, an arrow suddenly shot into their bodies from the shadows.

Blood splattered in an instant.

The drums stopped beating abruptly.

The sound of the horn also stopped.

Following the direction from which the arrows came, the defenders looked over.

I saw that at the staircase of the city tower, dozens of people dressed as farmers carried long knives and killed them.

However, judging from the murderous aura on their faces at this time, these people were by no means ordinary farmers.

Just as these people were about to start a counterattack under the summons of the general on duty, a loud bang rang out.

Rumble!

Under the city gate, dozens of Jinling defenders were destroyed along with the gate of Jinling City in this explosion.

At this time, under the city gate, the corpses were scattered and scattered, and none of them were complete.

The huge gate of Jinling City also collapsed into two giant trees in this explosion.

The powerful explosive force of the explosives formed a strong air flow in the narrow space under the city gate, and the powerful air flow that had nowhere to vent instantly blew the Jinling City Gate and the connecting city wall apart, and the two city gates fell to the ground.

At this time, the guard, who had just ridden a fast horse and threw gunpowder into the city gate, returned again.

At the same time, the hidden guards in the streets on both sides of the city gate tower also appeared here one by one and began to kill towards the city tower.

At this time, Qi Heng, who was killing Jinling City with the army behind him, saw the gate of Jinling City collapse, and his eyes flashed.

He understood that this was Zheng Guangzu cooperating with them.

Thinking of this, he shouted: "The city gate has been broken, follow me!! ”

With Qi Heng's shout, the speed of the 20,000 army behind Qi Heng increased again.

Nearly a thousand meters of plains, quickly approached under their gallop.

Mu Ying and the divine battalion under his command had the help of horses, and the speed of the charge was the fastest.

In the blink of an eye, he had already surpassed everyone and went straight to Jinling City.

Seeing this scene, Qi Heng couldn't help but want to scold his mother.

Before leaving, he had already explained to Mu Ying several times, don't rush, don't rush.

He didn't know what the situation on Jinling City was like at the moment, once the defenders on Jinling City could still have the ability to defend the city, then under their bows and arrows, the divine barracks under Mu Ying's command could only be regarded as a live target.

And every soldier in the Divine Battalion is the best of the best among the 20,000 elite soldiers.

Even if one person dies, Qi Heng will feel distressed.

But the God Battalion had almost rushed to the bottom of the city under the leadership of Mu Ying.

Looking at the scene of them quickly pouring into the city gate, the uneasiness in Qi Heng's heart eased slightly.

But if he didn't completely occupy Jinling for a minute, Qi Heng's heart couldn't be at peace for a minute.

Soon, under the rapid charge of the army and the attack of the divine barracks and secret guards in the city, the northern tower of the entire Jinling City was occupied in an instant.

As more and more soldiers poured into the city, under Qi Heng's orders, Han Qin led 5,000 soldiers and began to kill the tower south of Jinling.

At the same time, Chen Guang also began to purge the resistance forces within the entire Jinling City under the orders of Qi Heng.

And Qi Heng himself led the remaining 10,000 elite soldiers to guard the north city tower of Jinling, and killed the Jinling Governor's Mansion in the city.

In less than half an hour, Qi Heng, who was in the Jinling Governor's Mansion, soon saw Han Qin, Chen Guang and others who rushed back from everywhere.

"Returning to my lordship, the southern city tower of Jinling has been completely cleared, and five hundred soldiers have been detained."

"Lord Hui, all the resistance forces in Jinling City have been wiped out, and more than 700 soldiers have been detained and surrendered."

“................”

Listening to their words, Qi Heng nodded, but his eyes looked at Mu Ying who was standing on the side, and scolded angrily: "Mu Ying! Get out of here and stand guard on the walls for three days! ”

Mu Ying, who was suddenly scolded loudly by Qi Heng, seemed to understand why Qi Heng was suddenly so angry, and didn't dare to say a word, turned around and ran away to stand guard on the city tower.

Just when everyone in the audience was wondering why Qi Heng suddenly got angry, Qi Heng's eyes looked at Zheng Guangzu again and said, "How about the casualties of the secret guards?" ”

Zheng Guangzu replied: "Lord Huiyu, thirty-seven people were injured and two died. ”

Such a record is worth showing off anywhere.

After all, they were facing defenders several times their number in the city.

But they still completed their task, and cooperated with Qi Heng to successfully capture the entire Jinling City.

But for Zheng Guangzu's answer, Qi Heng's face did not have the slightest joy, but was a little gloomy.

"You think your casualty is worth bragging about, don't you?"

Qi Heng looked at Zheng Guangzu with a smile.

Zheng Guangzu's heart sank when Qi Heng said this.

Busy said: "Don't dare." ”

But Qi Heng didn't intend to let him go at all, and scolded: "Labor and management have equipped you with all the generals in the army who are one enemy and ten generals, do you think you should be happy if you conquered the city tower and only suffered thirty-nine casualties?" ”

"Bullshit!"

"You go to the army and pull a random soldier, you see if he can complete such a record in his hands!"

"I asked you to cooperate with the army outside the city, and I didn't let you lead the secret guards to fight with people! If you blow up the city gates, why do you have to go up to the city tower to fight people? You're still a fart for setting fire!? ”

"You're telling me now that you've wounded thirty-seven people and killed two, haven't you?"

Qi Heng, who was angry, picked up the scroll on the desk with one hand and smashed it towards Zheng Guangzu.

Zheng Guangzu, who was startled, didn't dare to hide, so he took Qi Heng this time.

"My lord, my subordinates ask for sin!"

Looking at Zheng Guangzu, who was smashed and kneeling on the ground, Qi Heng scolded and scolded: "Don't ask me for guilt, think about how to explain to your subordinates." ”

"Orders forbidden, my military orders are a fart in your eyes, right!?"

"Go and stand guard with Mu Ying for three days!"

Under Qi Heng's anger, Zheng Guangzu was not slower than Mu Ying at all, and he ran away without a trace.

As the two of them left, Han Qin and Chen Guang looked at the angry Qi Heng in front of them, they were really rare for Qi Heng to look like this at this moment.

I couldn't help but be a little scared.

After thinking about it, Han Qin still laughed and said, "My lord, they are also meritorious......

Hearing Han Qin's words, Qi Heng looked over coldly.

Han Qin was taken aback.

"Go, send someone to the Chuzhou border, hurry up, investigate the battle situation in Chuzhou, thirty people before and after, uninterrupted, I want to keep the news of Chuzhou and Huanggang clear!"

Han Qin didn't dare to persuade him, so he immediately turned around and took the order.

Chen Guang on the other side was standing there and walking, and it was not if he didn't go.

Just when he was full of embarrassment and twisted, Qi Heng spoke: "What are you still standing here for?" Take people to the city to inspect them, and if there is any situation in the city, I will ask you! ”

Chen Guang kept his waist and said, "Yes!" ”

As everyone left, Qi Heng sat on a chair in the lobby.

He couldn't be happier with today's situation.

Today's battle is the first battle in the real sense since the formation of their 20,000 elite soldiers in Huanggang.

Moreover, he was only facing the 3,000-strong defenders of Jinling City.

But the problems exposed in the middle are already obvious.

Of course, it's also to blame him, he is too kind to them on weekdays, and he has been a little slack about his military orders.

Although Mu Ying led the Divine Battalion to attack the city this time, it didn't seem to have any problems, but indirectly relieved the pressure on the secret guards in the city, but this was a coincidence!

The things on the battlefield can't be turned back by chance.

If Zheng Guangzu hadn't brought people up to the city tower to fight, even if there were only a few hundred defenders on the city tower, under this round of volleys, the divine barracks he had worked so hard to build would all be confessed here.

He has always had high expectations for the Divine Battalion.

Because their effect can often achieve a shocking effect.

He would never allow the Divine Battalion to be damaged or even annihilated under such circumstances.

He was angry, and even showed it in front of everyone, to curb this trend in advance.

The four words of order and prohibition must be a conditioned reflex engraved in the bones in the army. 、

Not only the Divine Barracks, but also the Secret Guards.

If the Divine Battalion did not happen to be the first to attack the city this time, in the face of the defenders who were several times their number, even if the combat effectiveness was higher than that of the opponent, for every minute of delay, the probability and number of casualties of the secret guards would increase several times.

Dark guard, secret guard, the important thing is a secret word.
