Chapter 88 Surprise Attack on Changsha (Monthly Pass Reward)

Looking at Changsha City in the distance, Li Yu sighed in his heart.

After more than 20 days of trekking, over the mountains and mountains, wading across the ditch, nearly 100 people died of miasma on the way, it can be said that after a lot of hardships, finally appeared behind Changsha City.

At this time, it was getting late, and the army stopped at the dam ten miles south of Changsha City.

There are several villages with smoke curling from the smoke of the villages.

Li Yu ordered the army not to harass the villagers, not to damage the crops, and to compensate for any damage.

As soon as the military order was given, all the soldiers honestly avoided the farmland, and the military camp could only be set up on the hillside.

At night, the army hurriedly ate the war meal and marched towards the city of Changsha, ten miles away.

But said that Ma Yin in Changsha City.

Some time ago, a large army was arranged to go out of Xiangyin and Yiyang to support.

Xiangyin was okay, Jingxiang's army surrounded but did not fight, and 20,000 reinforcements entered the city smoothly.

At the moment, 10,000 troops were divided and they took Yiyang by land.

At this time, Yiyang had been taken by Ma Wanli and Xiang Qi's coalition forces.

According to Li Yu's plan, after they succeeded in the sneak attack, they would hold on to the city and not fight with Ma Yin's army. Therefore, Xiangyin divided troops to attack, and Ma Wanli defended.

There are 10,000 and 5 troops in the Ma and Xiang coalitions, and there are many defenders of the city and few besiegers, how can they capture the city?

As soon as he reached the top of the city, he was beaten down. The capture of the city is always on the verge of success, and it is unwilling to give up, and if you don't give up, you have to ask for reinforcements.

Urgent reports to Changsha for help came one after another.

After thinking about it again, Ma Yin divided his troops to help.

Now, the battle on the battlefield in Yiyang is even more tragic.

Ma Yin's Changsha City was only defended by 10,000 people.

Changsha City is large, and the army is scattered in four gates, plus each critical place is on duty, and half of it is divided.

Only 5,000 troops were left to maneuver.

But he said that on the second day of the first month of November, the sky was slightly bright, and frost and dew fell from the sky, and the sentries on duty at the head of the city were shivering with cold.

The war in various places is tight, the defenders of Changsha have not yet issued winter clothes, and the cold air is getting heavier at night, and the soldiers are scolding their mothers in their hearts.

A bonfire was lit at the south gate, and everyone gathered together to borrow the fire to keep warm.

"It's winter, why don't you give out winter clothes, freeze balls."

Lao Hu squatted by the fire, roasting his frozen hands, and holding an iron gun on his shoulder.

"Well, it's hard to get it at the end of the month."

Another soldier crouching opposite him snorted and said.

"Why?"

"Have you seen the winter clothes sent to Xiangyin and Yiyang?"

The soldier said angrily.

"See."

"We'll have to wait."

The soldiers at the head of the city were roasting the fire, napping and napping, and no one noticed that in the wilderness below the city, there were groups of black shadows.

These shadows were like giraffes in the dark, stretching their long necks and crashing into the city walls.

Pap, papa~

"Eh, did you hear the movement?"

"What's going on?"

"There seems to be movement."

"Your ears are out of ear, aren't you?"

"I'm nervous from the cold, come over and roast the fire."

The soldiers who heard the strange sound were pulled by their companions to the fire and squatted down, and they were also roasted.

Lao Hu hugged the iron gun, and his legs and feet were numb.

"Ouch, ouch, numb, numb."

He strained himself to his feet with the barrel of his gun in both hands.

Through the light of the campfire, he saw something black suddenly emerging from the female wall opposite.

Lao Hu was shocked, stretched out his hand and pointed to the city, stupidly speechless.

"Lao Hu, your old boy's legs are numb, and your hands are numb?!"

The soldiers opposite him were very ridiculous when they saw Lao Hu and teased him.

"Ah~ Yes, someone!"

Lao Hu saw the black shadow crawling up, and subconsciously called people.

"These are all people, what are you talking about!"

The soldiers around the bonfire burst into laughter.

"Ah, no, yes, it's an enemy attack!"

"What?"

"What?"

Hearing Lao Hu's words, everyone hadn't reacted yet.

Seeing Lao Hu hold up the iron gun on his shoulder, everyone realized that something had happened.

They took up their own weapons.

At this moment, more black shadows rolled into the female wall, and everyone howled and threw themselves at the black shadows.

Lao Hu held an iron spear and stabbed at the black shadow, and as soon as the black shadow climbed over the city, as soon as his foot landed, a shot came from the opposite side.

While~~

A spark swept across the dark shadow's chest and abdomen.

Lao Hu was shocked, he was dressed in iron armor on the other side, he was an elite soldier!

Just as he was distracted, the black shadow's figure moved, and a cold light flashed in front of Lao Hu's eyes.

Lao Hu felt a pain in his neck, so he flew up, and he saw through the bonfire and the light of the sky that a headless body was standing stupidly below, and a fountain of blood spurted into the air.

This was the last image in his eyes.

The black shadows had already rushed out of the darkness, and under the reflection of the bonfire, the iron armor exuded a cold chill, and the horizontal sword in his hand shimmered with cold light.

These people don't shout, they just kill people silently.

The Ma Yin soldiers on duty rushed up and collapsed at the first touch.

The organic spirit turned and ran, reaching for the gong, but was choked by an arrow.

These rushed to the top of the city were the first warriors selected by Li Yu.

Each of them, dressed in full-body armor and wearing an iron helmet, armed with a horizontal sword and a crossbow and arrow, climbed up to the top of the city at night.

The defenders at the south gate were killed, and the armor soldiers descended along the corridor to the city gate.

There were also soldiers on duty at the city gate, and there was a fierce battle with the warriors of Jingxiang Xiandeng.

But in the face of these invulnerable armor soldiers, although the defenders of Changsha resisted desperately, they could not defeat it.

There were a few soldiers who reported to the city, shouting as they ran: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, Jingxiang army has entered the city!" ”

A patrol heard the shouts and rushed over, but it was too late.

The south gate is already halfway open.

The Jingxiang army waiting at the city gate squeezed in from the south gate, and more warriors who ascended first crossed the city and rushed down the city.

After three quarters, Jingxiang's army poured into Changsha City.

But said Ma Yin.

He slept late last night, and it was only when it was bright that he lay down to rest.

When he was in a daze, he heard people outside the house shouting and neighing.

He was immediately awakened.

A personal guard rushed into the bedroom.

"Lord, the big thing is not good, Jing Xiangjun has come in."

"What?"

Ma Yin didn't react for a moment.

"Jing Xiang's army has entered the city."

"Huh?!"

"Lord, go quickly."

The soldiers grabbed Ma Yin's robe, pulled him and ran out.

As soon as he arrived at the front hall, his general Li Qiong rushed in with blood.

"My lord."

"How's it going out there?"

"The south gate of Changsha has fallen, and the other three gates are still in hand."

"Oh?"

Ma Yin calmed down his emotions.

"Kill them back!"

"Yes."

Li Qiong turned around and ran out.

Ma Yin didn't panic at this time.

It's just that if you break a door, you still have a chance.

"Come on, immediately go out of the north gate to send a letter to Xiangyin Yiyang, and ask them to return to Changsha."

He turned around and grabbed his weapon, and rushed out with two thousand teeth.

At this point, he can't do it without working hard.

Ma Yin can't think about it, isn't the Jingxiang army in Xiangyin?

Is it difficult to be Yiyang's Jing Xiang Army?

No, I just sent an army of 5,000, and there are 10,000 troops besieging Yiyang, how can I let them come to Changsha secretly?

How did he know that this army entered from Lizhou, and after trekking through mountains and rivers for more than a month, it came behind Changsha and launched a sneak attack by surprise.

Outside the city, Li Yu sat on his horse and looked at the army running towards the city, and he was excited.

More than 20,000 horses have entered Changsha, can Ma Yin still turn the tables?

Listening to the shouts of killing in the city, both sides were red-eyed.

The first warriors were selected by Li Yu among the Wuling barbarians, each with big shoulders and round waists, and great strength.

After rushing to the head of the city and opening the city gate, they followed Song Ye and Shi Changyi's barbarians to kill inside.

Li Yu left behind 5,000 Jingxiang troops and musketeers.

The remaining Wuling barbarians were covered in iron armor and armed with spears, defending the south gate.

Seeing that the barbarian soldiers had entered the city, Jingxiang's 5,000-strong army marched into the city.

"Report, Your Highness, you have taken the east gate."

"Report, Your Highness, you have taken Simon."

At this time, Ma Yin's army and Li Yu's army were concentrated in the area of the north gate of Changsha.

Ma Yin gathered 5,000 soldiers and horses and guarded the north gate.

He knew that as long as the north gate was in hand and the armies of Xiangyin and Yiyang came to help, they could beat the sneak attack Jingxiang army out of Changsha, otherwise Changsha would not be protected.

If you think about it further, if Changsha is lost, Hunan will not be protected.

However, it was said that the messenger drove the fast boat down the river and arrived in Xiangyin in a few hours.

When Ma Hao heard that Jingxiang's army had attacked Changsha, he was shocked into a cold sweat.

He hurriedly sent someone to inform the Yiyang army to retreat to Changsha by land. Ma Hao knew that Yiyang and Xiangyin could not be saved, but Changsha must be saved, otherwise the foundation laid over the years would be ruined.

For a time, Xiangyin City was in chaos.

I didn't want anything I could not bring, I was light and simple, and I boarded the ship at the North Gate Wharf of Xiangyin in an hour.

However, it was said that the brothers Zhao Kuangming and Zhao Kuangning, who were surrounding Xiangyin, found that the situation in Xiangyin was wrong, and a sentinel reported that the Xiangyin army boarded the ship and ran away.

"Chase."

Zhao Kuangming led tens of thousands of troops to chase the butt of the Xiangyin army and went upriver along the Xiangshui River.

Zhao Kuangning led the army into Xiangyin.

However, it was said that Ma Wanli and Xiang Bi, who were stationed in Yiyang, saw that the besieging army suddenly withdrew, and they felt wrong, and they didn't dare to chase after them, for fear of being ambushed.

An hour later, news came from Xiangyin that the enemy had withdrawn their troops, and it was estimated that Changsha had been attacked by King De.

Ma Wanli and Xiang Bi immediately led the army out of Yiyang and headed towards Changsha by land.
