Changli is an inconspicuous small town at the junction of Jiuchang Road and Nansidao Road, which falls under the jurisdiction of Nansidao.

The city is a bit small and sparsely populated. The city wall is only three or four feet high. There are no dangerous barriers around the city gate, so there is no danger to defend.

In such a small town, a great war is about to begin.

Two months ago, the Yellow Shirt Army launched an offensive against Changli. Facing the rebels coming from all over the mountains and plains, the two to three thousand officers and soldiers stationed in the city only resisted for a day before escaping.

The Yellow Shirt Army's offensive in the past two months started by tearing open the breakthrough point of Changli.

…

"Dang Dang Dang!"

"Every movement is smooth!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"This way, this way, make it higher!"

There was a ringing sound on the city walls of Changli County. Shirtless soldiers and civilians were working day and night to reinforce the city walls, sweat dripping from their heads.

Planks and stones were removed from the abandoned houses in the city and were continuously transported to the tower, along with a large number of ordnance and crossbows.

At the top of the tower, a general wearing armor stood holding his sword.

That's right, Wu Zhiyong is here.

After Ling Gong set off for Shouchun City, Wu Zhiyong did not even delay for half a day, moved the entire camp to Changli City, and also brought a lot of food and supplies.

Now the garrison in Changli has reached 25,000 people, and Le'an, which is only 20 miles away, also has 15,000 people.

Two inconspicuous small cities were packed with 40,000 soldiers and horses, which showed that Wu Zhiyong attached great importance to these two strategic pivots. Even all the civilians in the city who could be summoned were sent to the city walls.

In just a few days, the city wall of Changli has been raised by half a foot, and a large number of temporary archery towers and turrets have been erected, greatly increasing the defensive power.

A military general strode up to Wu Zhiyong, bowed and shouted: "General! The army has entered the city in full force and is intensifying the construction of city defenses. There is no sign of official military action on either side of the city yet."

Wu Zhiyong said calmly: "There has been movement among the officers and soldiers on the front line. We must not slack off here. All the soldiers and horses were divided into two groups and worked hard to build the city wall day and night to guard against the attack of the officers and soldiers. From now on, not a single soldier is allowed to leave the city.

Without my order, the city gate must not be opened!"

"promise!"

…

Two days passed in a blink of an eye. When night fell again, there were no soldiers working at the top of the city in Changli. They had completed repairs on all the repairs they could, and the next step was to wait for possible sneak attacks.

Rows of torches moved back and forth on the top of the city, surrounded by patrolling soldiers. A captain guarding the city looked outside the city with a torch and muttered: "I can't even see a single ghost. Is it possible?"

Will the officers and soldiers really come?"

Although there was an atmosphere of imminent war in the city, they had still seen an official soldier so far.

While the captain was muttering, something seemed to be moving in the grass less than two miles away from the city wall.

"Rustling, rustling~"

The densely packed figures were crawling on the ground, constantly moving forward. The leader was Fuzhou General Shengping, who was under the command of Ruan Zhixiong of Nanjiang Road.

When these figures climbed to the back of a slope, they stopped. Some soldiers took off shovels from behind and carefully pulled the soil at the foot of the slope. At the same time, there were soldiers who stared at the fire on the city wall.

Dare to show even a little bit of your body.

After a while, several large wooden boards appeared under the soil. A few soldiers pulled hard, and a dark cave appeared in everyone's sight.

Sheng Ping grinned: "This is it. The Fifth Master is indeed very good at predicting events and has prepared a way into the city in advance."

A dark-faced man came to Sheng Ping's side and whispered: "Brother, everyone is ready!"

The face of the man who spoke was very similar to Sheng Ping's. He was none other than Sheng Ping's younger brother, Sheng Tu.

Sheng Ping held Sheng Tu's shoulder with one hand and said in a deep voice: "Remember, don't worry about other things after entering the city. Open the city gate as quickly as possible and set fires everywhere. Whether this battle can be successful or not depends on you.

.”

"Brother, don't worry." Sheng Tu licked his lips and said with a sinister smile, "Just watch it!"

"Be careful along the way and go!"

"Walk!"

Sheng Tu waved his hand, and nearly a hundred figures filed in along the entrance of the cave. Each of them had a scimitar behind his back and a fire folder in his hand. After entering the cave, they half-knelt on the ground one by one, and moved towards him little by little.

Crawling forward.

With the faint light of the fire, hundreds of soldiers quickly disappeared into the cave. The other end of the cave led into Changli City.

Sheng Ping slowly waved his hand, and a large group of soldiers appeared again. A rough estimate of the number of soldiers was probably five thousand. There were also a large number of infantry hidden in the dense forest further away, among the tens of thousands.

The Yellow Shirt Army arrived at Changli City under their noses.

There is a large warehouse in the west of Changli City, which was left behind when the previous officers and soldiers fled. There are still many ordnances in it that were too late to take away. After the Yellow Shirt Army occupied the city, they directly used it as a granary and piled up a large amount of food.

here.

"Dong~dong~"

There was a sudden noise in a remote corner of a certain granary, and a large wooden board on the ground moved away by itself. Then Sheng Tu's head poked out from inside, and his dark eyes looked around cautiously.

After confirming that no one was there, Sheng Tu squeezed his hands and got out of the hole. He walked quietly to the door and looked out through the paper doors and windows. He was still holding a bright big knife in his hand. Behind him,

The taxi soldiers also came out one after another.

Soon the huge granary was crowded with people, but not a single sound could be heard, and everyone was squatting on the ground.

"Puff puff puff~"

The sound of footsteps came, a burst of fire slowly approached the granary, and at the same time, human voices could be vaguely heard:

"Boss, are there really going to be officers and soldiers coming?"

"Whether we come or not is none of your business? Let's just patrol honestly. If there's a fight, there will naturally be a tall person in front to support us."

"Aren't you feeling panicked? I heard that the current army is very capable of fighting and is difficult to deal with."

Judging from his tone, he was obviously a new recruit who had never fought against the army.

"Look at your timid look, what are you afraid of?"

"laugh!"

Before the leading captain could finish his words, a scimitar stretched out from the darkness and swiped his throat with the knife.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood sprayed right on the recruit's face, and the recruit was stunned with fear.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

Countless black shadows poured out of the house like ghosts, and with one knife strike, they killed all ten people in the blink of an eye.

"Pfft~"

The recruit vomited blood and fell to the ground in convulsions. The last thing he saw before his death was the grimace of his boss.

Sheng Tu looked at the corpses on the ground and grinned:
Chapter completed!
