While the fighting was fierce at the South Gate, the North Gate was also attacked by the Nanliang navy, but the attack was not violent. There were only more than a dozen ships and less than 10,000 people attacking the city and shooting arrows.
The person guarding the north gate is a female lieutenant. This female lieutenant wears a red cloak and a helmet, has a pair of almond eyes, and is very tall.
This is Shui Han, Li Xiannan's lieutenant.
The north gate faces the river, and the city towers are equipped with catapults and kerosene bombs. As soon as the Nanliang Navy approached, kerosene bombs burned their sails, and they became targets across the river.
"General Shui, we have a great victory this time!"
A captain pointed at the ship lying across the river and laughed.
The stones of the catapult flew up one by one and fell on the water, creating huge splashes. When the building and boat were hit, they made a loud noise, and the wood was smashed into pieces and fell into the river.
"We are playing pot."
Another captain laughed.
The soldiers on the ship threw themselves into the water and fled, and the soldiers on the tower fired arrows, killing many of them.
Shui Han didn't feel happy. She felt very strange. The killing at the south gate was so brutal, and why the offensive at the north gate was so weak.
He even said that it felt like a show, not a real attack at all.
"Weird!"
Shui Han couldn't figure out why.
On the other side, Fishing City.
A female general wearing armor and a long sword hanging from her waist stood at the top of the city, looking at the thick black smoke on the south bank with a look of reluctance on her face.
"Hey, our comrades are fighting on the other side, but we are here to watch the fun. What kind of soldiers are we doing!"
The female general was cursing.
This female general is just a captain, named Tang Yan.
There are only more than 300 soldiers and horses left in Diaoyu City.
"Yes, this battle is really infuriating!"
The soldiers behind them all complained that they could not catch up with such a big battle.
When this battle is over, they will definitely be laughed at.
"It's true that these businessmen were beaten so brutally by the other side, and they acted like nothing happened."
"Yes, businessmen are businessmen. They don't care about the war between countries at all. They only care about making money for themselves."
"What's so strange about this? Isn't it just like this in the world? They do business in all countries in the world and never care about which emperor is better."
"I heard that the world will stir up trouble everywhere, which is not a good thing."
"However, some people say that the world will fight against the strong and support the weak, specifically helping the weak to deal with the strong."
The soldiers around me said something to each other, and they were really just watching the fire from afar.
Tang Yan, the captain of the school, was a little irritable. It was dark and dark with the killing on the other side. She couldn't go over to fight. She was so annoyed.
She originally wanted to close the city gate and wait for the war in Linjiang City to end, but Li Xiannan said that Diaoyu City would not be in danger because of a big river, and she should continue to do business as usual and not affect the lives of the people.
Therefore, despite today's battle on the other side, Diaoyu City is still bustling with business and travel.
"It's very lively today. Are you rushing to fight and selling things at high prices?"
A female soldier was lying on the city wall, looking down.
Tang Yan also found it strange that there were so many merchants entering the city today, and they looked like they were from Nanliang...
Tang Yan suddenly felt alarmed and shouted: "Follow me!"
The soldiers watching the fire from across the bank were startled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tang Yan didn't say anything. She held the long knife at her waist with one hand and rushed down the city wall. When she arrived at the east gate, the guarding soldiers didn't know where they were.
"Where are the people!"
Tang Yan was furious, and the soldiers who were resting nearby ran out in a hurry.
"I asked you to check the business travelers entering the city, but you dare to leave your post without permission!"
Tang Yan cursed loudly and at the same time stopped a group of merchants entering the city for questioning and inspection.
The soldier guarding the gate muttered: "Why are you so angry? He's just a school captain."
Tang Yan was angry, but helpless. Ranking was the most important thing in the army. Although Li Xiannan asked her to temporarily lead the city's defense, she was only a captain and could not command these idle soldiers.
"When General Li comes back, I will sue you severely!"
There was no other way, so Tang Yan could only move out Li Xiannan to suppress them.
When they heard that they were going to file a complaint, a few people cheered up and said with a smile: "Colonel Tang is serious, we are just tired and just need to go to the toilet."
"You! What are you doing! What is in the car!"
A group of merchants pulled a dozen carriages, which were covered with black cloth and tightly covered. The leader was an old man riding a donkey. His beard and hair were gray, but he seemed to be in good spirits.
Behind him were dozens of men wearing coarse cloth, all of them tall and strong, and some even had scars on their faces.
The convoy stopped, and the man looked at the old man in the lead silently, waiting for him to speak.
The old man smiled and said: "General, we are from the Nanliang branch of the Tianxiahui. We are selling some things to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. I am the person in charge of this escort."
With that said, the old man slid off the donkey's back, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and put it into Tang Yan's hand. He smiled kindly and said, "General, it's convenient, we often take this road."
The soldiers from the city also came down and blocked the caravan at the door.
Tang Yan stuffed the money back and said: "This guest, we don't accept money. Please open the carriage. As long as there is no problem, we will not embarrass you."
Tang Yan waved her hand and motioned for the soldiers to check together.
The soldier picked up the thing, stepped forward and opened the black cloth, revealing the armor and sword inside.
"Enemy attack!"
When Tang Yan saw the swords and armor, he immediately knew that these people were from the Nanliang army.
Tang Yan pulled out the long knife from her waist and struck the old man with one strike.
To capture the thief and capture the king, first kill this old man.
The long sword was unsheathed, but the old man chuckled, pinched Tang Yan's wrist with one hand and Tang Yan's throat with the other, and said loudly: "Murong Xiao is here! Surrender and avoid death!"
This person is none other than Murong Xiao.
The soldiers behind him picked up their swords one after another and chopped down the soldiers at the city gate to the ground with a few blows.
Tang Yan was lifted up like a little chicken, unable to resist at all, she could only stare.
"Diaoyu City changed hands today. You are a good girl. Surrender!"
Murong Xiao looked at Tang Yan with admiration.
Tang Yan didn't take any money just now and was very responsible. Such a person can be cultivated.
Tang Yan's neck was pinched and she couldn't speak. Her hands were pinched and she couldn't move, but a drop of spittle came out of her mouth and landed on Murong Xiao's face.
"court death!"
Murong Xiao was furious and crushed Tang Yan's neck with one hand.
The corpse was thrown on the ground, and Murong Xiao shouted: "The army entered the city, occupied the four gates, and planted the Nanliang flag!"
The soldiers put on Nanliang armor one after another and went up to the city wall with their swords.
The people in the city were confused. Why did the Nanliang army suddenly arrive? The city suddenly fell into chaos.
There were too few soldiers guarding the city, and they were killed at the first sight. The flag of the Nanliang Army was erected on the top of the city.
On the other side, at the north gate of Linjiang City, Lieutenant General Shui Han saw that the flag of Diaoyu City had been changed, and his expression suddenly changed.
"They attacked Diaoyu City!"
She finally understood that the attack at the north gate was just a cover to prevent them from noticing the actions on the north bank.
The real goal of Nanliang is Diaoyu City!
Shui Han got on her horse and ran towards the south gate on top of the city. She wanted to report to Li Xiannan immediately.
