Naoli, Kyoto Castle.

At this time, in a village and town thirty miles away from Kyoto City, a large group of soldiers of the forbidden army were quickly changing the clothes of the people.

"Brothers, don't expose yourself after sneaking into the city, and stay until three days later, you can open the city gate in one fell swoop."

In a house in the village and town, Yun Bi looked at the members of the advance team in front of him and patiently advised.

The forbidden army that had set out from Huya Pass had approached Kyoto City two days earlier, but Yun Bi did not rush to attack, but waited for an opportunity to lurk.

Lu Renyi was sent to take this team of 100 people to investigate the intelligence, and he happened to catch Zhao Qinghe, who had escaped from Kyoto City, and knew some news about the city.

Now the city can be said to be a mess since the death of East China, and the reckless rebel army is basically some rough people, and all they think of is to extort money and food, and they have no ability to organize at all.

And now it is a time of turmoil, and these rebels say that they are a group of soldiers, but in fact they are no different from mountain bandits.

Perhaps at the beginning of the uprising, they still adhered to their original ideals, but after they really took Kyoto City, they were quickly corrupted by power.

Without Gu Chong's control, these rebel armies, large and small, grew like weeds, and they dared to claim the king when they gathered a dozen men with a knife.

The forbidden army outside the city traveled all the way, and the city of Kyoto did not get any news, and still sat at home drunk and dreamed of death.

After getting these news, the depression in Yun Bi's heart decreased a little.

Originally, I was worried that my 20,000 people would attack the city, but if the other party strictly defended it, I was afraid that it would be difficult to succeed.

And if they couldn't take Kyoto City for ten days and half a month, their group of hurried marches with only a few days of dry food turned into rootless duckweed.

The other party had a numerical advantage, and Yun Bi did not dare to take it lightly, so he decided to send a death squad to disguise himself as a common person and infiltrate the city.

After three days, the army will come to the city, and if the city gate can be opened, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

This time, Yun Bi personally sent Zhuangxing wine to the warriors who entered the city first, and only waited for the siege of the city three days later.

Just as Yun Bi whispered instructions, Lu Renyi, the deputy general of the march, also walked into the house with two attendants.

"What about Zhao Qinghe?"

Seeing Lu Renyi coming in, Yun Bi turned his head and asked.

And Lu Renyi also replied casually, "Such national thieves have been cut down by me." ”

Listening to Lu Renyi's words, Yun Bi didn't have any expression on his face, he just bowed his head lightly to show that he knew, and then walked out of the house to gather his generals.

As the time went by, it was already approaching evening, and the group of soldiers who had entered the city first went to bed early after a full meal, and waited for the next morning to leave for the city.

In the courtyard of the temporary headquarters on the side, a faint candle flame was lit at this time, and Yun Bi was discussing with a group of forbidden army generals how to break the city.

After some discussion, it was decided to divide the army into two routes after three days, attacking the city from both the main gate and the west gate.

Because according to what Zhao Qinghe said before, the generals of the main gate and the generals of the west gate have always been at odds, and if the war is opened, the two sides will inevitably not be able to deal with each other well.

Early the next morning, the 200 warriors of the advance party selected yesterday set out to enter the city at noon.

Today, outside the city of Kyoto, there is a lot of comings and goings, most of them are people who have left the city, and those who enter the city are bandits and local armed forces who want to enter the city to get a piece of the pie.

At the gate of the main gate of Kyoto Castle, more than a dozen rebel soldiers were checking passers-by, saying that the inspection was just rubbing oil from it.

Among them, those who wanted to leave the city had to pay varying benefits to the guards in order to be released, and if they did not give it, they would be expelled back.

If you meet someone who dares to resist, you will directly change it to extortion into robbery, and throw it out of the city after picking up nothing.

It's more appropriate to say that this is not so much a group of soldiers as a group of bandits blocking the road.

As for the people who enter the city, they also need to pay a certain amount of money, of course, if they meet the kind of murderers who have hundreds of people, not only will they not extort money, but they will also come forward to greet a few words with kind words.

The soldiers sent to Kyoto Castle in the forbidden army were all dressed as ordinary people, and in order not to attract attention, they were specially separated in groups of several people.

When he arrived at the gate of the city, he was stopped by a soldier guarding the gate, "Oh, hey, what are you doing, what are you going to enter the city?" ”

A non-commissioned officer of the Forbidden Army, dressed as a farmer, was rudely dragged by the doorman and stopped him, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Master Jun, the small ones are farmers outside the city, and this time I went to the city to look for relatives."

The disguised soldier didn't dare to resist, so he could only make up a lie to prevaricate.

But who knew that when the doorman heard this, he became even more interested, after all, now the people in the city are rushing out of the city, and those who can enter the city to find relatives are some rich people.

Thinking of this, the doorman rubbed his hands directly and motioned to the other party to make some money.

But the forbidden soldiers dressed as farmers would bring these with them when they came there this time, and they could only keep begging the other party to let them in.

Seeing that the person in front of him was a poor ghost, there was no result under some blackmail, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, and he just wanted to slap him twice to relieve his anger when a sound of horses' hooves came quickly.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way."

Before the man arrived, the brutal voice came from a distance.

When the blackmailing doorman heard the voice, he turned his head to see a procession of more than 100 men marching towards the city gate.

Seeing this, the doorman had no choice but to let go of the man in front of him, and just wanted to step forward to ask, he heard the other party report to his home, "Lao Tzu Xiaomao Shan Li Huo, I entered the city to find General Liu to join the army, do you still want to scrape the benefits from me?" ”

Listening to the unkind tone of the horseman, the doorman lost his temper, and only laughed twice before letting the man into the city.

And a group of forbidden soldiers in disguise also passed the test in disguise and were not blackmailed again.

When he entered the city, the soldier who had been blackmailed couldn't help but spit on it.

"What kind of world is this, good people can't enter the city, but the mountain bandits are still at ease, I knew that this is what kind of disguise do I use?"

After the soldier finished speaking, his companions couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.

Yes, I originally thought that the defense of this Kyoto city would be very tight, but who would have thought that it would be a mess of porridge, and no one would care about it at all.

They were all soldiers from Huyaguan, and they probably had more blood on their bodies than the other party had ever seen, but they didn't expect to be affected by this kind of.

The soldiers who entered the city did not have any money with them, and originally thought of finding a corner cat for two days, but now it seems that they do not need it at all.

Because as soon as I entered the city, I saw a straw hut with a recruitment notice posted.

Among them, the price is clearly marked, two taels of silver for a soldier, that is to say, as long as you are a soldier, you can not only eat enough, but also get two taels of silver every month.

The salary on this kind of conscription notice is much higher than the salary of the soldiers in the Great Xia in the past, which also shows that these rebels in the city are frantically grabbing territory.

A group of soldiers in disguise almost did not hesitate, and sold themselves directly, and the money they got also bought some meat in the army room and ate a good meal.

Three days later, the rapid forbidden army arrived as scheduled, and the rebel army in the city who was still fighting in the city also woke up suddenly.

When the alarm horn sounded, many ragged soldiers climbed to the top of the city, looking at the heads of people in the distance and panicking.

"Whose men are these?"

A bearded man stood on the tower and looked out from afar, asking the soldiers accompanying him.

The soldier had good eyesight, and when he saw the word "counterinsurgency" written on the flag fluttering in the distance, he said tremblingly, "The forbidden army is the forbidden army." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only the general who asked the question, but also the guards on the city tower couldn't help but panic in their hearts.

The forbidden army in the Naoli area had already been incorporated when they entered Kyoto City, and the rest of the people who did not surrender did not know how to hide there.

Now the only forbidden army of such a scale can only be the border soldiers of Huya Pass.

The veterans who fought against the Prairie Rong clan were not the soldiers in the Guannai, they had all experienced the sea of corpses and blood.

Thinking of this, everyone was a little timid, and the leader and general also loudly scolded the soldiers in the city to defend the city at this time.

The great battle was imminent, and the forbidden army marching outside the city did not stop at all, and the fiercest siege battle began directly when they arrived at the city.

This time, because the forbidden army was in simple clothes and hurrying, they did not carry some bulky siege equipment, but only launched a surprise attack with the lives of elite soldiers.

What Yun Bi has to do is to catch the defenders in the city by surprise, and if he can't get the morale in a short time, he will be dispersed.

As the Forbidden Army attacked the city, the already scrambled defenders began to shoot arrows outside the city, and from time to time some rolling wood and thunder stones were thrown down from the towers.

Although the soldiers besieging the city were brave, Kyoto Castle, as the capital of previous dynasties, had a towering city wall, and the battle situation was quite tragic at this moment.

One by one, the elite soldiers fell in front of his eyes, and Yun Bi's heart was faintly stinged, but he still endured the discomfort and waved his hand to order a fierce attack.

"Peng~"

A loud bang rang out from the tower, and the cannons emitting wisps of green smoke fired heavy shells, smashing a large crater outside the city.

The sound of artillery rang out, killing a number of Janissary soldiers as the shells fired.

But the group of forbidden troops in Huya Pass were the elite of the border fortress after all, and they were not distracted by the loud sound of artillery, and still stepped on the corpses of their comrades to attack the city in an orderly manner.

And with the blessing of powerful artillery, the morale of the defenders in the city was greatly boosted, and they were in a stalemate on a par with the forbidden army besieging the city.

Seeing such a situation, fine beads of sweat appeared on Yun Bi's forehead, and he tightly held the reins of the horse.

If this continues, their group of soldiers without supplies will inevitably collapse because of food and grass without a fight.

In this siege, the first battle is a decisive battle, and if it cannot be succeeded in one fell swoop, the price will be self-destruction.

Just as Yun Bi was nervously paying attention to the movements of the battlefield, there was a sudden commotion in the city, including some shouts of killing.

It turned out that the soldiers on the west side of the city who had infiltrated the city gate opened the city gate, and the forbidden army attacking the city from the west had already poured into the city!
