I don't know how long it has been, the night outside the window is thicker, and the stars and moon in the sky seem to be so tired that they have fallen into a deep sleep.

Zhao Ta listened to the faint sobbing beside the pillow, and gently stretched out his hand, but it shrank back suddenly, and a sad voice came: "Beasts ......"

At this time, there was a faint knock on the door outside, Zhao Ta sighed in his heart, looked over there and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Outside, Ding Da Crab said: "Lord Wang, the hour is almost up." ”

Zhao Ta thought for a moment, then got up, slowly put on his robe, and just wanted to lift the curtain to leave, when there was a low panic behind him: "What time is it?" ”

Zhao Ta was silent for a few breaths, and said: "The thief army has attacked the city, this king wants to go out to preside over the war, and he can't slack off in the slightest, otherwise once the thief army enters the city, the consequences will ...... Disastrous. ”

"Siege at night? You, you're lying to me, you're going to ......" a hand weakly grabbed his robe.

Zhao Ta took the hand off his robe, put it aside and said, "Who said that the thief army would not attack the city at night?" After all, it was a demon sect, and they all had fists and feet martial arts, so I can't say that there are still demon sects in the city, and they want to cooperate with the thief army, which will damage Jiangning! ”

"No......" Zhu Xiuniang seemed to think of something, so she immediately wanted to sit up, but instantly fell down again with an "ouch", and then used all her strength to stretch out her hand to pull Zhao Ta, but this time it was empty.

Listening to the door open and close, and her footsteps gradually drifted away, she was stunned and frightened on the couch, and after a while, she burst into tears.

The maid and the mother-in-law approached tremblingly, and the maid whispered, "What do you have to tell the lady?" ”

Inside the curtain, a pillow was thrown out, accompanied by a crying voice: "Go, let me go......"

Zhao Ta got out of the Xuanfu Division, and ran to Xicheng with a solemn expression, he rode a big-bellied red horse, which was the yellow horse before, and in a few months, the yellow horse's mane had turned into a dark red and shiny color.

This horse is very stable to ride, more stable than a lamp for a thousand miles alone, although a lamp for a thousand miles of alone is also brought over, but Zhao Ta rarely rides, especially at night, it is not good to ride a white horse at night.

Arrived at the head of the city in Xicheng, there was still about half an hour before midnight at this moment, Yao Pingzhong and Zhang Xian were both there, and after seeing him, they hurriedly came over to report the military situation, and Zhao Ta listened carefully and bowed slightly.

Everything that should be arranged has been arranged, and everything that should be arranged has been arranged, he glanced at Yao Pingzhong: "The things have been paid?" ”

Yao Pingzhong said with a smile: "Lord Wang, it's paid, that Duanmu Neng is very happy, saying that this time he will kill a lot, and his subordinates will follow the instructions of the prince to let their people kill the two cities in the north and east, and our people will kill the west." ”

Zhao Ta nodded approvingly, the thing given is the address of the Shi clan's house in Jiangning City, as well as the name booklet, although the Jiangning branch of the Ming Sect has been entrenched for a long time, but there is no such detailed information, after all, most of the disciples are ordinary people, where can they know the specific situation of these Shi clans.

As for letting Duanmu Neng's people kill the two cities in the north and east, it is because there are more scholars living in these two directions, and there are more than 3,000 people under Duanmu Neng, so they can kill for a while, and the two cities in the north and east are not guarded by Yao Pingzhong, and it is easy to show their tracks when they kill people, so they can't send Luliuzhuang disciples to go.

On the Xicheng side, the disciples of Green Willow Village can take the opportunity to kill indiscriminately, and this side is controlled by Yao Pingzhong, so they can naturally indulge indefinitely, and if there is the Fang Qifo army lured into the city as a cover, they will not be seen out of any horses.

The rest of the southern city is not inhabited by scholars, and most of them are ordinary people.

Zhao Ta thought for a moment, this night not only to pit the Seven Buddhas, but also to take the opportunity to kill the scholars in the city.

He walked to the city wall with his hands in his hands, and looked into the distance by the moonlight, only to see that there was no movement on the other side of the moat, and he didn't know how Fang Qifo was prepared.

After looking at it for a long time, Zhao Ta called Yao Pingzhong to explain again, and then took Zhang Xian to the inner city.

Jiangning has the inner and outer cities, the inner city is not as tall as the outer city, at most it is half the appearance, normally as long as the outer city can be attacked, then breaking the inner city is between morning and twilight.

Zhao Ta delivered a message to Fang Qifo that not only could open the east gate of the outer city, but also the Taiping Gate of the inner city would also find a way to open it, which was the real combination of the inside and the outside.

He handed over the outer city to Yao Pingzhong, and the inner city was controlled by his own family, all of which controlled everything, if Fang Qifo personally led his troops into the city, he would see if he could find a chance to kill him directly, Fang Qifo was a well-deserved No. 2 person whether in the Ming Sect or in Fang La's holy dynasty, otherwise he would not be the only one to unify the army.

If he can kill Fang Qifo in Jiangning City, it will undoubtedly damage Fang La's right-hand man, and the remaining Xia La's lone army will be trapped in Suzhou, then he will send troops from Jiangning, and Zhao Kai will send troops from Jiangxi again, outflanking in three ways, and the thief army will be broken in the near future.

But this is also the best plan to do, Fang Qifo may not enter the city first, and even if he enters the city, whether the timing can be grasped well, whether it is feasible to measure proportion, these are all problems.

There are not many people in Jiangning City, counting the 50,000 soldiers integrated by Zhao Tan, there are more than 20,000 people left, but these are basically village soldiers, with no combat effectiveness, and they are mostly used as sappers in peacetime, while there are only about 10,000 soldiers in Xicheng who can fight.

Therefore, at most, fifty or sixty thousand thieves will be allowed to enter the city, and there can be no more, if there are more, the defenders of Xicheng will not be able to eat, and if the other three cities support it too late, something big will inevitably happen.

The number of thieves was carefully calculated by Zhao Ta, traps, ambushes, and all kinds of cooperation, the ratio of one to five or six is actually not high, if the forbidden army is more elite, one to ten is possible in this case, but Zhao Ta is really not at ease with the forbidden army, which brings the forbidden army after the battle of Huaixi, if it is those who have not even been on the battlefield, he does not even dare to use this strategy.

If he mobilized the people of the four cities to ambush together, although he could kill more thieves, he still had to destroy the scholars on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to prevent Wang Yu and Zhen Kecun from seeing the flaws, so he couldn't do that.

It was really exhaustive, and the subtleties of the operation were extremely difficult to grasp, and Zhao Ta couldn't help but let out a long breath and felt a headache.

At this time, Zhang Xian next to him said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, there is still a quarter of an hour to go." ”

Zhao Ta closed his eyes, and his voice was indifferent: "Are those people in Green Willow Village ready?" ”

Zhang Xiandao: "They are all close to the Xicheng Shi clan's house, as long as it is midnight, you don't have to wait for the city to open the signal, you can go in and kill people directly!" ”

Zhao Ta didn't speak, the most important thing to kill the Shi clan in the city is to be fast, after killing, all of them are pushed to Mingjiao, anyway, there are seven Buddhas outside, and there is a Jiangning branch altar of Mingjiao inside, let these two take the blame together, and when the time comes, catch some live mouths, and this matter will be determined as an iron case.

Zhang Xian saw that Zhao Ta didn't speak, and continued: "The subordinates have already informed the disciples of Green Willow Village, don't touch any of the property inside after killing someone, and leave immediately!" ”

Zhao Ta nodded: "That's the best, everything will wait until the matter settles down, the thief is in front, and other things can't be the first." ”

Zhang Xian said: "The prince is high! ”

Zhao Ta turned around from the city at this time, and said leisurely: "And with the change of appearance of this king, tonight will meet the bright left envoy of this Ming Sect, seven births, seven deaths, seven Buddhas......"
