There is a small hill outside the city of Zizhou, called Qifeng.

It is said that this was the place where the royal family of Qi sacrificed to heaven and earth thousands of years ago.

Although this statement is debatable, one thing is certain, that is, the scenery here is very good, and it has been the first choice for the romantic people in Zizhou City to go out of the city for many years.

In July, the Qifeng Hill is lush with trees, and birds fly from time to time, which is indeed a pleasant scenery.

However, because Zizhou has been occupied by the Guirong people, the Han people can't even get out of the city gate, let alone have any interest in going out of the city to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

But today's Qifeng Mountain is no longer as lonely as before, and a group of hundreds of people are hiding in the dense forests on the mountain, condescendingly observing everything around the city.

This group of people is the most elite part of the soldiers and horses led by Sun Ning, as well as more than a dozen local people who are most familiar with the situation in Zizhou.

They are the young and strong men who were forcibly requisitioned to transport grain before, and then got Sun Ning on the road, including Wang Laosi, who was injured better.

On that day, when Sun Ning said in public that he would take everyone to recapture Zizhou City, many people were still quite skeptical in their hearts. After all, they have seen the strength and horror of the Oni Rong people with their own eyes, and even if this army wins victory over the enemy, it is not enough for everyone to fully believe it.

Only Wang Laosi and a few others were convinced of this promise, not only were they willing to join the team to attack the grain transportation team of the Guirong people, but they also followed this operation against Zizhou, just to see Lord Li's methods with their own eyes.

Sun Ning divided his increasingly large team into several parts, allowing them to continue to fight guerrilla attacks with the help of the terrain, harassing and destroying the logistics routes of the Ghost Rong people, and he himself only brought a small number of elites to this big city that could be on a par with Jeju in Ludi.

What he said before was the truth, and Zizhou was his ultimate goal this time.

As long as the city of Zizhou was recaptured from the enemy, it would be enough to arouse the determination of the entire Ludi Han people to resist.

It will also inevitably seriously hit the morale of the Guirong people.

You must know that they have not been able to take Jeju to this day, and if they can't even hold the equally important Ziju, it means that they have completely lost control over the entire territory of Ludi.

At that time, the Han soldiers and civilians in other cities will inevitably have different ideas, and under the inspiration of this incident, they will rise up one after another.

And as long as the Ludi soldiers and civilians put away their worries and fears, how could the millions of people here be invaded and ruled by tens of thousands of ghosts?

Of course, the foundation of all this lies in whether he can successfully recapture Zizhou City!

Sun Ning's mind was turning, but his eyes kept wandering around the city and outside, as if he was looking for a breakthrough point.

"Master Li......" A slightly restrained voice sounded behind him, Sun Ning turned around, and saw Wang Laosi coming over, and smiled: "Fourth, you came just in time." You told me before that when you enter Zizhou, there is not only the city gate road, but also the small roads that are not very well known, but where do you mean? ”

Wang Laosi smiled, then pointed to the moat outside the eastern city wall and said, "That's it." Under the water, there was a culvert that led to the river in the city.

"Originally, in order to make money, some gang members in the city specially opened up a way for merchants to avoid the city gate tax. The little one only learned by chance, and he once went into the water to chase him, and he dived directly from the city to the outside of the city......"

As he spoke, he was a little embarrassed: "But the underwater environment is not very good, and there is no place to breathe, so you have to swim from one end to the other in one breath, so ......"

Sun Ning nodded: "I see, since those gang members in Zizhou City can do it, we will naturally not be worse than them." From this point of view, it should not be difficult to enter Zizhou, but the arrangement after entering the city, how to let more people use it for me is a big problem that needs to be solved. ”

A slightly hoarse voice immediately sounded behind him: "Lord Li, you don't have to be embarrassed about this, we still have brothers from the three major gangs in Zizhou City, who can help!"

"I don't dare to say anything else, I have some friendship with these three brothers, as long as I can meet them, it is enough to make some trouble in Zizhou City."

Sun Ning turned his head and smiled at the stout man who spoke when he heard this, and those who dared to come back with him this time were all powerful people with some names and abilities in Zizhou City.

For example, the person in front of him, named Tian Hengxing, used to be a street tyrant in Zizhou, and he had considerable friendships with several gangs in the city.

As one of the two largest cities in Ludi, due to historical reasons, there are many characters in the city, and the gang forces can even compete with the government.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Zizhou will be easily taken by the Guirong people, but the government's power here is too weak.

Sun Ning's thoughts turned, and he said softly in his mouth: "Brother Tian is really heroic, I admire it." However, relying only on the people in the gang, I am afraid that they will still not be the opponents of those ghost warriors, so the following meaning is still to awaken the fighting spirit of the soldiers and horses in the city.

"And the other layer is to be able to attract the ghosts in the city as much as possible. Only when the number of ghosts in the city is reduced to a certain level, will we have a chance of winning, and the people in the city will dare to follow us and rise up together! ”

"This is easier said than done...... "The few people around him sighed with little confidence.

Indeed, no matter how much we say, it will still be difficult to achieve success if this problem is not solved.

Even if they entered Zizhou and contacted the officers and soldiers in the city and the people in the gang, as long as the fighting power of the Guirong people was still there, the incident would mean failure.

But Sun Ning smiled: "Who said it was impossible?" If my prediction is correct, it will not be a few days before a considerable number of the ghosts in the city will be drawn away. Also, I arranged a ...... nearby"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a wave of flags rolling in the city of Zizhou below, and the team assembled.

This made Sun Ning's spirit suddenly lift: "It's better to come early than to come by chance, they really plan to send troops out of the city today!" ”

As he spoke, he took a closer look, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up: "Sure enough, they can't hold it anymore and have decided to mobilize troops to deal with us!" ”

Although most of the people in this procession slowly marching towards the city gate were only dressed in ordinary linen clothes, they were all carrying grain burdens and pushing carts, and they looked like ordinary people.

But the spirit and pace of these people completely betrayed their true identities in Sun Ning's eyes - this is clearly a group of ghost warriors pretending to be ordinary people!

Obviously, after suffering several losses, the Guirong people have already planned to use this way to deal with the resistance of the Han people who robbed the grain!

Some people died, but not completely......
