Chapter 257: The Decisive Victory Will Be Overnight (3)

It was Qingji who led people to storm the second mansion of the Hu family, he was the number one master of the Jaw Palace, and Xia Chengxuan asked him to lead the way, and everyone had nothing to say.

The Liguo Mansion, the Pyeongchang Earl's Mansion and the Jaw King's Mansion are only four streets apart, and the distance is only fifteen or six miles. There are no unhealthy people in the military seats and retainers of all the prefectures, and they will arrive in fifteen or six miles and three quarters of an hour.

"Xue Xiaoman, you take three hundred and fifty people to attack the Liguo Mansion, and the remaining four hundred and fifty people will follow me into the Pyeongchang Earl's Mansion! Remember, we are here to take people captive, not to kill or injure the enemy!" Qingji said in a low voice.

The man named Xue Xiaoman is the master of Zhao Qingfeng's grandson-in-law, and he began to work as a martial artist in Zhao Mansion fourteen years ago, and his martial arts are very high. Before going from Zhao's Mansion to the Jaw King's Mansion, Zhao Qingfeng said to him, "The order of the Jaw King's son is equivalent to my order, so you should do your best." At this time, after listening to Qingji's arrangement, he nodded, separated three hundred and fifty people from the crowd, and quietly approached the Liguo Mansion.

"I'll go in and open the door in a moment, and you'll rush in. If you wake up the people in the mansion, don't fight with them on the periphery, try to rush to the inner garden, take Hu Xiu'an's family, and then meet in the open area, can you understand?" Qingji whispered to several leaders of the mansion.

Although the twenty-seven prefectures are gathered in one place, after all, they are not familiar with each other, and they are still led by the leaders of each prefecture. The eight leaders behind him listened, and they all nodded their heads in understanding.

Things were arranged, Qingji took the lead, walked a few steps quickly, turned over and jumped into the palace of the Earl of Pyeongchang. The four soldiers on duty at the main gate at night were drowsy, and when they saw a person suddenly jumping in, they didn't know what happened, so they were hacked to death by Qingji several times, and they didn't even have time to snort.

"Squeak~~~" The door opens from the inside.

Seeing this, four hundred and fifty people rushed in...

... ...

Du Chong was originally a military general who led the troops to fight, but he was injured in the waist and abdomen and fell into a hidden illness before he left the army and became a personal soldier of the Xia Mu Dynasty. In the past ten years, he has turned to practice internal strength, and he has also made considerable progress, although he is not as good as Han Qi and Qingji, and Qi Qi and Gluttony are a master of the same level. He has not only led the troops, but also the steward of the palace, and his martial arts are not weak, and he is the best candidate for the head of the siege pass.

"Kill~~~Kill~~~"

Du Chong roared and led five hundred horsemen to rush forward first. More than 2,300 people behind him followed behind and whined and shouted, and the sound was earth-shattering.

"Where did so many people come out?" The guards of the city pass were frightened before they saw this battle. However, they were strictly ordered to defend the city gates, and once the city gate was broken open by them, none of them, the thousands, hundreds, governors, and captains, should think about falling. At this time, you have to clench your teeth to meet the enemy.

"Mingjin warns! Set up barricades and prepare for a long attack!" the guard hurriedly said to the herald beside him.

When two armies fight, it is not necessarily the brave who wins.

When Hu Xiu'an set up defenses, he naturally thought that someone would storm the city pass, so he had already built fortifications in advance, and the first one was a big stone ball.

The front and back of the city pass are slightly "convex" shaped, the defenders are in the high place, and Du Chong and others are in the low place. Hu Xiuan took advantage of this location to prepare more than 100 stone balls with a diameter of more than four feet, which were released from the fence at this time and rolled towards Du Chong's side.

Although the diameter of the stone ball is only more than four feet wide, a single one is also enough to weigh three hundred pounds, although the slope is small, the stone ball does not roll very fast, but there are four or five waves in a row, the horses are difficult to dodge, and more than 100 horses have been knocked to the ground. The rest of the horses finally walked out of the stone ball formation, and a rain of arrows flew in front of them. In an instant, another hundred and ten people were killed and wounded.

Fortunately, all the arrows in the internal defense were half-drawn bows, and although there were many wounded, there were not many killed, but the offensive was frustrated, and the morale was no longer superior.

"This battle can only be successful, and must not be defeated. Thinking of the young master's words, where did Du Chong dare to have the slightest reservation, he picked up the big pu knife and rushed forward, fighting with the oncoming defenders.

In terms of individual combat strength, it was natural that the group of people behind Du Chong would win a lot, however, first, they ran for nearly 30 miles and began to fight without a moment's rest; second, the defending army not only killed and wounded hundreds of people with a rolling stone formation and a rain of arrows, but also blocked their offensive and suppressed their morale; third, the defending side of the city had a variety of weapons, spears in front, sabers in the back, and more than 60 crossbowmen on the side; fourth, the defending side of the city was all from the camp of the Jinwei West, and they cooperated with each other tacitly, and the robes and zezes could often help each other and save each other.

For a time, the two sides were evenly matched.

Inside the city was a small battle of thousands of people, and the screams were no more than a few hundred feet. Outside the city, there was a scuffle of more than 100,000 people, and the shouts of killing had been heard for miles.

Originally, Xia Jingyu thought that the troops would be divided into two ways, Xu Dingping led 25,000 people to block Ma Dushan's army of more than 60,000 capital garrisons, and he led 15,000 people to rush straight to the city pass, and then surrounded King Yun's mansion. Not wanting this plan to be seen through by Ma Dushan, the garrison army went around and blocked the way for the white-clothed army to enter the city.

One side had to enter the city, and the other side stubbornly stumbled, and nearly 110,000 people fought fiercely outside the city gate.

"Xu Dingping, I'll lead people to go straight in for a while, you take your people to contain the enemy troops on both sides, and you must not let them cut off my team! Crazy Xu, your brother has made a name for himself in Suzhou, you fucking have to show your skills today to let the world see, you are the boss of the Xu family, much stronger than that crazy Xu in Suzhou!" Xia Jingyu yelled loudly at a rough man.

The two brothers of the Xu family both learned from the Dushi Martial Arts Hall, and they have successively studied under Duanfuzi, and they are famous military generals in the Dahua military camp. In the battle of Suzhou, Xu Dingan led the crowd out of the city to face the enemy eight times and was not defeated, and the name of bravery has already spread all over the world. On the contrary, he, as an elder brother, has never been useful, and his reputation is much inferior to that of his younger brother.

"Deputy Marshal, don't provoke me. Today, I, Xu Dingping, will fight for this life, and I will escort you into the city!" Xu Dingping laughed and said, "The matter in the city, please!" After speaking, the dancing spirit snake halberd led the troops to separate from Xia Jingyu.

"Xu Hanshan!" After the division was separated, Xu Dingping began to dispatch troops to carry out the duty of cover.

"Yes!" replied a young man who looked very much like him.

Xu Dingping roared and ordered: "After a while, the deputy marshal will lead the crowd to rush into the enemy formation, and you will lead 13,000 people to resist the left flank, and you must not allow an enemy army to invade the camp of the deputy marshal!"

"Yes, father!, the last general will command!" Xu Hanshan replied solemnly. He is a thousand soldiers in white, but it is the first time to lead the troops in actual combat, although he is not afraid, there are still some panics. His father had entrusted him with such an important task, and he really had some heart palpitations.

"Go!" Xu Dingping wanted to say a few words, but after all, he only said these two words.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xia Jingyu really led the elite straight into the enemy formation, and instantly tore open a gap. The combat strength of the white-clothed army was far superior to that of other garrison armies, and they did not fall behind at all with four against six. At this time, as soon as the cavalry rushed up, the advantage was even more obvious, and it was simply overwhelming.

"Kill~~~!"

"Kill~~~!"

Xu Dingping and Xu Hanshan appeared on the flanks of the gap at the right time, blocking the army of the capital garrison who was trying to implement the siege.

... ...

It's two o'clock, and it's the quietest time of the day. The 110,000 men outside the city met in close quarters, and the sound was already heard in the big city. After fighting for more than half an hour, nearly half of Du Chong's more than 2,800 people were killed or wounded, and seeing that the city gate was a hundred zhang away but could not be attacked, his heart became more and more anxious.

"Why haven't the people of Nanda Camp arrived yet?" roared the guards of the city. Du Chong was anxious, and he was even more anxious. According to this, the Jinwei Nan camp is only ten miles, and he has already lit a beacon fire, and it is impossible for the Nan camp not to see it. However, seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, and they were delaying reinforcements in the future, he remembered that his heart was about to reach his throat.

At this moment, a group of black horsemen of five or six hundred men rushed over.

Du Chong then avoided the gap of his opponent and glanced back, and was immediately ecstatic, shouting: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived!" Xia Chengxuan had already told him that in addition to the more than 2,800 people of his own spirit, there were also people from the Salt Gang who would help him attack the city pass.

Originally, the fierce battle between the two armies was in a stalemate, but when Du Chong's people heard that reinforcements had arrived, they all seemed to have eaten elixir, and their morale soared instantly.

"What about the people in Nandaying, has anyone reported it?" asked the Qianfu who guarded the city.

As soon as Jin Wei rushed to his side, he replied miserably: "I have already reported it." They were stopped on their way, and they were afraid that they would not be able to catch up!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was pierced in the throat by two short blades.

Everyone in the world knows that the weapons used by the Nine Palaces are the Nether Ghost Hand and the Soul Hook Rope, but few people know that they often have another short soldier - the Meridian Blade.

When it comes to killing, the Nine Palaces are invincible in the world.

The martial arts of people such as Grievance Changsheng and Han Bei Ku may not be higher than those of Qingji and Gluttony, but when it comes to killing, the gluttony of five people is not as good as that of a grudge Changsheng. The martial arts of the Nine Palaces are all martial arts of killing.

"Manager Du, let's deal with these people on the periphery, you take people to open the city gate. Yan Changsheng chuckled. Jiudian has killed people for a living, although he is not good at killing, he sincerely likes this feeling of killing, and he can kill people so happily, his heart is faintly full of joy.

Du Chong saw that this unattractive old man almost killed the enemy with one move, and the move was fatal, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and he was not surprised to hear him say this, and said with a smile: "So, it's the best!" After speaking, he shouted "Come with me", and led Hua Fang, Ying Sheng and others to rush up.

... ...

At two o'clock, Hu Xiuan led more than 20,000 people in Dongdaying to drive more than 30 miles, and finally approached the Jaw Palace.

"The Jaw King's Mansion is a mile away, line up, prepare for battle!" Hu Xiuan whispered to the herald beside him.

Before he could finish his words, a rain of arrows wrapped in strips of oilcloth shot in all directions. The people of the Nine Palaces had already set up sentry posts in the streets and alleys near the Jaw King's Mansion, and they saw them from afar, and reported to the soldiers of the various prefectures guarding the alleys in front of the Jaw King's Mansion in advance.

"Cloth Hedgehog Array!" Hu Xiuan was startled by this sudden arrow attack, but fortunately stabilized his mind in time and ordered loudly.
