Pitch black darkness enveloped the entire Lingzhi.

A strong smell of blood permeated the city walls, and buckets of clear water mixed with wine were spilled on the blood stains that were dragged out.

When he was young, the soldiers who had disappeared from this small section of the city wall came back, but their armor and clothes did not fit so well.

The battlements of the city wall are lit up, and one person can be faintly seen lying and one sitting, two people passing cups and changing lamps, and from time to time there is a sound of squirming conversation or mixed with men's laughter.

On the right side of the city gate, someone stood in the dark, lit a pine torch, and shook it sharply according to a specific rhythm.

The young man who had killed the city gate captain with one blow earlier put the two armors that the city gate captain had stacked in the corner of the house on his body.

"Brother, you're really sloppy." The young man sniffed the strong smell of sweat coming from his armor, frowned, and said to the corpse of the city gate captain lying on his back.

The corpse had a sweat towel stuffed into the wound on his chin, and the blood and other turbid fluid in the wound did not flow out much, only his eyes bulged out, and two lines of blood slipped down the corners of his eyes into his sideburns.

"The two armies are at war, no wonder who."

The young man casually tore off a flag on the couch, put it on the face of the captain at the city gate, and strode out.

As soon as he walked out, he saw a tall man wearing the armor of a city guard.

"General Zhonglang, it's all cooked." As he spoke, the tall man gestured with his thumb in front of his throat.

These people are all selected soldiers, all of whom are officers above the rank of squadron leader in the Yuan army.

Just like the tall and strong man in front of him, he used to be an old thief in the Yellow Turban Army.

All this kind of dirty work is gone, and it is very beautiful.

"Good!"

At this time, the young man no longer had a smile on his face, put the sweaty stun of the city gate captain on his head, and arranged the clothes and armor on his body.

"Is there a response from outside?" As he spoke, he took the long knife that had been handed to him, and walked over to the soldier who gave the signal and asked.

Before the words fell, he saw a little firelight in the distance responding, and it was the flag language of the army.

Seeing this, the young man finally put his mind at ease.

As the flags of the two sides met, black figures touched along the city wall.

The gates were neglected, and the noose was stirred with a long, high-pitched creak that was harsh in the night.

A gap opened in the city gate, and countless armorers wearing black armor and holding halberds walked in.

More and more armor soldiers entered, and under the command of the youth, they quickly set up shields and built defensive lines.

The gates of the northern city were completely controlled by them.

As the gates were fully opened, two horses with thick cloth wrapped in their hooves entered.

Seeing the young man who was commanding the armor to deploy at the city gate, he hurriedly greeted him.

"General Zhang, good skills."

"Zhang is just a general, how dare he call a general."

When the young man heard this, he responded lightly without smiling, especially in the face of one of the haircuts, and he didn't even have a polite word.

These two people are the cavalry captains Xian Yuyin and Wuhuan Su Fuyan who gathered under the banner of Liu He's revenge for their father.

"Two, now is not the time to say hello." The young man pulled out a piece of sheepskin from his bosom.

"The location of the Sifang City Gate is here, here is the Gongsun family, and here is the arsenal." The young man's hand pointed over the map one by one, and in one of them he was a little heavier, "This is the camp in the city." ”

"Go to the west gate, the east gate, and the south gate, and hand it over to you."

"First take all the city gates and arsenals, and the Gongsun family will return to Liu Zhijun according to the agreement."

Several people followed the light of the torch jumping, stood in the door of the city tower, and quickly assigned the task.

Only at the end, the young man paused, "Lingzhicheng is the seat of Liaoxi, if the killing is too heavy, it is not conducive to Yuan Gong gathering people's hearts." I also hope that a few subordinates will restrain their subordinates and do less killing. ”

Hearing this, Xian Yuyin and Su Fuyan both showed disdain on their faces.

Such a rich city, if it restrains its subordinates, how can it achieve the effect of inspiring the morale of the army?

Seeing them like this, the young man stopped talking.

It has always been customary to reward soldiers for plundering cities, and it has been customary to motivate soldiers to kill the enemy with money, killing, and women, and there is no army in the world that does not do so.

The young man looked back, glanced at the black hole Ling Zhicheng, and threw out distracting thoughts, "Please go back and inform Liu and Liu Envoy Jun to act according to the plan." ”

At the same time, the anomaly of the castle tower here still attracted the attention of the soldiers who stood on the watchtower elsewhere.

He saw a little fire in the distance in the field.

At first it was just one or two points, then it suddenly increased, and finally it became a sea of sparks, accompanied by the sound of thunderous horses' hooves, surging towards the northern city.

"Enemy attack." The soldier shouted as he rang the bronze bell hanging from the watchtower.

The rapid sound of the pounding of gold and iron will tear through the silent night of the branch city.

As the first warning sounded, the whole Lingzhi City boiled.

There was already a warning from Zuoping, and the soldiers on the city wall would not collide without a clue.

Under the command of the Shangguan, they quickly assembled.

When the sound of the bell came to his ears, Zuo Ping was standing on the wall of the east city, holding a knife.

Yan Niangzi sent a message that reinforcements from Lu Long were coming, and it was agreed that they would enter through the East City Gate.

Zuo Ping didn't want to think about why Lu Long could act so quickly, or what Yan Niangzi was going to do.

He only knew that he must not let Gongsun Ying's unfilial piety succeed.

This hurried sound of gold, even if it had been expected, still made Zuo Ping shocked.

The veteran, who is getting older, is exhausted by anxiety and tiredness.

The sound of gold, like the wail of a mourning bird, pierced his head and made him shake it.

"Zuo Gong." A lean man hurriedly helped him.

"I'm fine." Zuo Ping took a breath and pushed away the lean man's hand, "Jiang Bin, quickly lead the troops forward." ”

"Yes." Knowing that it was not his mother-in-law in front of him, as the lieutenant of Lingzhi City, Jiang Bin's anxiety was not much lower than Zuo Ping's.

Immediately took a few generals and ran down the city tower as if rushing to assemble the team.

Zuo Ping quickly stood up straight, looking north, the firelight jumped and the sound of people was chaotic, obviously the north gate had completely fallen into the hands of the enemy, and a large number of enemies had entered the city.

There was a great upheaval in the whole city, and the people and the great families were awakened from their sleep.

Fortunately, there was a pre-wake-up call, and the doors of the shops were closed everywhere.

The lieutenant chiefs, wanderers, and fufu ran behind the wall, going door to door to arouse the young and strong, and organize defense.

The city has always been broken, and everyone has heard of what happened to the residents of the city.

Especially the news of the massacre from the Central Plains scared everyone even more, and at this time, few Diao people came out to cause trouble.

All of them are armed with weapons at home and organize defense under the leadership of You.

"Let's go." Zuo Ping took the lead and led everyone to assemble a military formation at the east gate.

At this time, the offense and defense are easy to change, and what he needs is to hold this city gate, and hold this passage for the upcoming reinforcements.
