Yangzhou, one of the fourteen states of the Tianlong Empire and one of the richest state capitals of the empire, is geographically close to Xuzhou and Yizhou of the empire, facing the sea, and is an important outlet to the sea of the empire. It has jurisdiction over seven towns of Jianye, Wu, Huiji, Jian'an, Chaisang, Shouchun and Lujiang, and its governance is the richest city of the empire, Yangzhou City, which is one of the two major shipbuilding bases of the empire like Yizhou, from here you can directly reach Yingzhou, which is in a semi-autonomous state of the empire, and it is also one of the trade bases with the sea tribe, which fishes all kinds of precious jewels from the sea to trade human pills and iron tools and other various items.

Since ancient times, Yangzhou has been a battleground for soldiers, but the strange thing is that since the last time the empire defeated the Sea Clan, Yangzhou's garrison is only enough to maintain local law and order. There were less than 300,000 garrison troops distributed in the major cities of Yangzhou. But the sea tribe never invaded the empire from here, once Yangzhou was rich, they didn't want to rob, but they didn't dare to rob, they didn't take the army of Yizhou, the navy of Yizhou could easily block their back road, and the Praetorian Guards of the imperial capital could also go straight to Yangzhou, Yangzhou, which was flat, and they were not the opponent of the imperial army at all on land.

Yangzhou's assassin history is Liu Xuan, it can be said that Liu Xuan is one of the most useless assassin histories of all the assassins, but he ascended to this assassination position by inheriting his father's title, and the general of Yangzhou is Zhang Rang's henchman Yan Baihu. No one would have thought that Liu Fan, who was fleeing for his life, would suddenly wave his troops south to attack Yangzhou, so Yangzhou was as calm as ever.

Jian'an is in. The city, which is next to Yuzhou, ushered in a new day, the garrison guarding the city gate opened the city gate, and the bustling crowd came and went in and out of the city gate. The garrison guarding the city gate was also bored and sat next to the city gate watching the merchants coming and going, the news of the imperial capital had reached Yangzhou, but this did not bring any vigilance to the defenders of Jian'an, and it was still lively here.

Knock knock, the earth trembled, so that the garrison guarding the city gate Pang raised their toes and looked into the distance, wanting to see what army was rushing from the direction of Yuzhou. They also did not receive the information that there is an army passing through today, and every soldier is you look at me, I look at you. They all wanted to know from each other what kind of army it was, but unfortunately no one told each other that they knew what kind of army it was. Even the merchants passing by at the city gate were curious to see the smoke and dust rolling not far away.

Su Lie held Fang Tian's painting halberd in his hand, and looked at Jian'an City in front of him with a cold expression. A sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, since he decided to attack Yangzhou, Li Jing and Guo Jia almost simultaneously formulated a plan for the speed of soldiers, selected three thousand elites from the demoralized soldiers, and led by Su Lie to Jian'an City, the closest city to Yuzhou. It is necessary to take Jian'an City in one fell swoop to provide a place for the follow-up army to be stationed.

"Captain, who are the pair of cavalrymen in the distance? It doesn't look like the dress of the Praetorian Guard, haven't you heard that an army is going to pass through us?" Yangzhou has not fought in twenty or thirty years. The quality of all the soldiers was very poor, both young and old. The soldier in front of him was an old man in his fifties, and his lieutenant was a child who had not yet grown much beard.

The lieutenant gave the soldier a blank look and said, "How do I know?" Did the other side raise the military flag? I didn't get any information, and there was any official document that the army was going to pass through here, could it be that there were thieves?"

"Hehe, which anti-thief dares to kill them so swaggering in broad daylight, but the captain sees that they are menacing, and there seems to be something wrong with this situation. ”

"Tell your brothers to prepare to close the gates, and first close the gates to see who these people are. "That captain has a higher official position, although he was sent to this Jian'an City as a small city gate captain because he offended some powerful people, but when a soldier hits the clock for a day, it is better to close the city gate first when he sees the other party's fast horse coming. ...,

It's a pity that Su Lie didn't have this opportunity with him at all, Su Lie, who came galloping, ran at the front of the team, the Nine Dragons Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand exuded a faint cold light, Su Lie saw the other party's reaction, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and kicked the horse that sat down and quickly ran to the city gate. The soldiers at the gate of the city looked at the cavalry rushing quickly in surprise, and their mouths were wide open and stunned in place.

"Close the city gate quickly, what are you waiting for, close the city gate quickly!" The captain of the city gate finally found out that something was wrong, the cavalry who rushed here had a fierce face, and they were all wearing the uniforms of the local garrison.

Click, the garrison of Jian'an, who finally reacted, hurriedly put down the weapons in their hands and began to push the dilapidated city gate, and the soldiers on the city gate also began to hurriedly put down the jack gate, and the crowd at the city gate also rushed into the city gate like crazy, and the squeaky city gate began to close slowly.

Su Lie smiled, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, the frightened expression on the face of the Yangzhou garrison could already be seen, and now he remembered that it was still too late to close the city gate. Su Lie sat on the war horse, pressed the horse's back with one hand, his figure rose into the air, the Nine Dragons Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand shook, the Nine Dragons roared, and Su Lie's big killing move shook his hand and blasted towards the city gate.

Boom, the huge explosion directly smashed the dilapidated jack gate of Jian'an City, and the nine dragons roared and rushed into the city gate, and exploded suddenly, and the garrison at the city gate screamed and flew out, crashing into the surrounding city gate holes, and the screams came and went, everywhere. And Su Lie's figure shook faster than a war horse, and he quickly killed towards the city gate, and the cavalry behind him also sped up their horses and killed towards the city gate.

Bang, Su Lie's Nine Dragons Halberd blocked the city gate, and the half-closed city gate was pushed open by Su Lie alone, and the city gate school standing at the head of the city suddenly had red eyes, Yangzhou has not experienced a war for many years, what kind of people are these people and how can they suddenly kill here. The captain of the city gate picked up a knife in his hand and roared, shook his body and slashed at Su Lie's head.

Su Lie sneered, and as soon as the Nine Dragons Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand was raised, the bell knocked the school captain into the sky, Su Lie's figure flickered, and the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand was against the school captain's neck. Su Lie's eyes were full of smiles, and the cavalry behind him rushed into Jian'an City with a roar, cutting down the soldiers in front of him to the ground, and the panicked Jian'an garrison dispersed in a hurry.

"Listen, everyone, those who disarm and kneel on the ground will not be killed, and those who hold weapons in their hands will be killed!" The cavalry roared and ran in the city of Jian'an, and the merchants doing business on the road all hid on the side of the road in panic, and the garrison of Jian'an City threw away the weapons in their hands and knelt on the ground when they heard the shouts of the cavalry, begging loudly for mercy.

Hundreds of cavalry rushed to the head of the city, and quickly controlled the guards at the city gate, and Su Lie carried the Nine Dragons Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand and killed the town guard mansion and the city lord's mansion in the city. The cavalry whistling around quickly broke the defense of the town guard mansion and the city lord's mansion, and more than a thousand soldiers surrounded the city lord's mansion and the town guard mansion, Su Lie separated the crowd and walked in, the city lord Wang Tong was trembling and hiding in a corner in the closed gate of the city lord's mansion, Sun An, the town guard general of Jian'an City, had a cold sweat on his face, and the hand holding the weapon was still trembling.

Su Lie held the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in one hand, gathered the aura with one hand, and the powerful aura gathered on Su Lie's fist, boom, Su Lie blasted open the sturdy gate of the City Lord's Mansion with one punch. The debris flying all over the sky suddenly caused a scream, and the soldiers guarding the City Lord's Mansion all retreated to the rear in panic, no matter how Sun An urged, they retreated to the rear in fear, looking nervously at Su Lie who walked in. ...,

"Listen, I don't want to kill, you surrender immediately!" Su Lie walked in, with a bang, the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand was inserted on the ground, and he looked at the crowd inside coldly, everyone is you look at me, I look at you, zuihou all looked at Sun An and Wang Tong who was hiding in the corner.

The two glanced at each other, Sun An trembled and looked at Su Lie with the knife in his hand, Su Lie's weapon was still glowing with a heavy cold light, nine looming dragons walked on top of Fang Tian's painting halberd, Sun An looked at Su Lie in horror: "Who are you? Do you know that attacking the city of the empire is a great crime to destroy the nine clans?"

"Hmph, don't say it's your small Jian'an City, it's the Imperial Palace, I can still capture it if I want to!" Su Lie looked at Sun An coldly, the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand swished on Sun An's shoulder, the cold light forced Sun An's psychological defense, and the powerful majesty made Sun An's legs and feet fall to the ground with a soft snap, motionless, the cold sweat on his forehead continued to drip down, and his body trembled strongly.

"To descend or not to descend?" Su Lie's tone was very cold, but his faint tone was full of murderous aura, even the soldiers who came with Su Lie looked at Su Lie nervously, they had never thought that this commander of theirs was so powerful.

"Descend, descend, let's descend!" Wang Tong ran out and knelt in front of Su Lie, Sun An was even more lying on the ground and didn't dare to move, Su Lie's coercion was too strong, so strong that he couldn't activate the aura in his body at all, and even his spirit was oppressed by Su Lie.

"Okay, come here, send an order to the lord, just say that Jian'an City has been taken, and ask them to come over with a large army immediately. Su Lie saw that Sun An and Wang Tong walked into the City Lord's Mansion in stride: "You ordered the whole city to stop resisting, and all the soldiers returned to the barracks to wait for reorganization." ”

"Come on, now the whole city is under martial law, the four gates are closed, no one is allowed to enter or leave Jian'an City without my order, after an hour I will not allow anyone to appear on the street, and everyone who appears on the street after an hour will be killed!" Su Lie quickly issued a series of orders, the troubled times used the code, now Liu Fan's army has not yet arrived, and the news of the loss of Jian'an City must not be leaked.

"Yes!" the soldiers who followed behind him quickly disappeared into the city lord's mansion after receiving the military order, and soon the sound of horses' hooves and panicked crowds sounded in the streets......)
