Chapter 22 The Journey of a Thousand Miles Passes by Suddenly, the Rising Sun Rises and the Dragon City is broken
As expected, the news of the rebellion in the north spread in Xijing in half a day, fortunately there were generals sitting in Guanzhong, but the young people did not dare to cross the rules slightly. The General's Mansion was calm, and everyone thought that this was the calm before the storm, and a thunderstorm was brewing, but no one knew that the thunderous arrow had already been fired, but it had not yet broken out into a shocking blow.
After Xinchen led the army out of the customs, he traveled day and night, sneaking through the Yongzhou border non-stop, and it only took five days to penetrate Longcheng, the capital of the state. Seeing that Longcheng was in sight, Xinchen suddenly ordered to rest on the spot, Li Miao was puzzled and asked, "What does Gongzi mean?"
Xinchen looked up at the sky again, and returned: "Tomorrow will be a sting, I look at the sky phenomenon, there will be a thunderstorm in the early morning." Under the cover of a thunderstorm, you can send your hands to attack the city gate, and the cavalry can take advantage of the situation to break through and break through the city in a moment. And our army is bound to be tired after a long-distance attack, so it is advisable to take a short rest before we can make a later picture. Miss Lao had to choose a hundred people with superior force for the raid. ”
Li Miao was surprised when she heard this, and said: "It turns out that Gongzi is not only proficient in the art of war, but also understands the celestial phenomena very well, and hides deep enough! The raider will be handed over to me, and there is trouble, can you not always call Miss Miss always scream, it sounds weird and awkward, and call me Miao'er?" The appearance of the little daughter who pretended to be disgusted made her heart dust.
Xinchen's face was flushed, and he stammered: "Miao... Miao'er!"
Seeing Xinchen like this, Li Miao chuckled lightly and said, "Okay, I won't tease you." Childe has a good life to rest, so I'll go and choose the raider. As he spoke, he walked towards the soldiers, leaving only his dumb heart in place.
The night was calm and the sky was full of stars, Li Miao lay on his back in front of the military tent, counting the stars boringly, turned his head to look at Xinchen, and asked: "Childe, it's already three o'clock, why hasn't the thunderstorm you said come yet, and it will be almost dawn if you wait." In the face of Li Miao's repeated urgings, Xinchen was not in a hurry at all, but just said, "Wait a little longer." ”
At the end of the day, the wind was blowing, stratus clouds were accumulating, lightning and thunder were roaring, and the torrential rain came in an instant. Xinchenyu jumped up and said in a deep voice: "It's time!"
Li Miao also turned over and stood up, looked at Xinchen with a shocked face, and said, "God, I really got what you said, it won't be a blind guess." ”
Xinchen didn't defend either, and said, "Miao'er, you take the army for a while." When I take the gates, I will bark at the dogs, and you will lead the army in. ”
Li Miao looked worried and said, "Childe, I'll lead the team to raid." ”
Xinchen smiled slyly and said, "Miao'er, you know that my spiritual sense is extraordinary, and the matter of surprise attacks is more suitable than yours. Don't worry, we'll see you again soon. Li Miao knew that Xinchen was alluding to the assassination on the long street that night, and he suddenly felt embarrassed, and he no longer argued.
The rain was pouring down, and Xinchen also changed into a night suit, and quietly walked towards the city gate with a hundred-person raid team. The rain was so heavy that the patrols on the city walls didn't know where to hide from the rain, only the outposts still had a little fire. Touching the base of the wall, Xinchen ordered everyone to grab daggers, threw out the flying hook in unison, stuck firmly in the battlement, and then quickly climbed up.
The thunder was louder than the other, and all other sounds were perfectly muffled, and by the time the door was broken into the outpost, the guards of the house were still roasting their rain-soaked cloaks around the brazier. Everyone rushed in with their hearts, their knives fell, and the guards had their throats slitted cleanly before they could make a sound. After solving the outpost, Xinchen sent a team of 10 people to open the city gate, and the rest of the people took the bows and arrows in the outpost and quickly occupied the key positions around the city gate.
In the thunderstorm Dragon City, a dog bark suddenly sounded, followed by barking, and many people in the city were woken up to check, but there was nothing abnormal, and they fell asleep scolding. After a while, there was a rumbling sound, and Li Miao led the crowd to gallop towards the city gate. A bolt of lightning sliced through the sky, illuminating the 10,000 horsemen galloping wildly, just like the death knights who had just rushed out of hell. The lightning went out suddenly, and everything disappeared into the night.
On this night of thunderstorms, Cheng Qingfeng, the garrison of Dragon City, was also woken up by the barking of dogs, and at first he thought it was thunder that startled Ao Dogs, but the vigilance of leading troops for many years made him suddenly realize that such a rhythmic rumble was definitely not thunder, but more like... The whole cavalry rushed forward! After listening for a moment again, he secretly said, "Not good! The enemy is attacking!" and hurriedly blew the police whistle. The piercing sentry pierced the night sky, and the soldiers hurriedly got up and put on their armor, but it was too late, and the army led by Li Miao had already passed through the city gate and killed at this time. Shouts of killing erupted in the city, and many soldiers were beheaded while they were still sleepy-eyed.
After all, Cheng Qingfeng has been a general for many years, and although he responded in a hurry, he still quickly organized some forces to resist, and for a while, Li Miao's army was somewhat hindered. While organizing the defense, Cheng Qingfeng sent people to ask for help from Yin, the capital of the state. Li Miao's troops were sharp, Cheng Qingfeng fought and retreated, and until the thunderstorm gradually stopped and the sun rose in the east, there were still no reinforcements. Most of the city had fallen under the control of Li Miao's army, Cheng Qingfeng finally received a report, and the governor Yin had already fled through the back door. Knowing that the general trend had gone, Cheng Qingfeng did not want to kill more, so he ordered his subordinates to raise the flag and surrender, and then raised his sword to kill himself.
The raid was first, and in such bad weather, the hasty response can still resist until now, Li Miao asked himself if he couldn't do better than him, so he felt sorry for him, so he jumped down from the horse, snatched the sword in Cheng Qingfeng's hand, and said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the state capital Yin has fled in a hurry, why should the general be like this?"
Cheng Qingfeng glared angrily and reprimanded: "You are a rebel and a thief, and I don't care to be with you! Hurry up, send me on my way!" After speaking, he looked up to the sky and smiled, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.
