It was already early in the morning, and there was still about an hour before dawn. This period is when people are most tired.
Even though Han Meier was smart and had an innate sense of military affairs, he had never led a soldier before, and he was still negligent in the end.
Under the city tower, there were a dozen Japanese people in night clothes approaching slowly and silently, while two miles away from Yingtian City, there were nearly 5,000 Japanese Qingqi, ready to go.
At a distance of about twenty miles behind the Japanese Qingqi, the Japanese army was sweeping towards Yingtian City again, and was advancing slowly at this time.
As long as a dozen Japanese masters in front capture the Yingtian City Tower at night, open the city gate, and send out a signal, five thousand light cavalry will instantly rush to control the city gate.
As for the next step, the remaining tens of thousands of troops will follow again and rush directly into Yingtian City. When the sun rises completely, Yingtian City will be completely pacified.
This was Oda Guishuo's plan. She had a premonition that she would be able to capture Yingtian City this time. Although they were tricked by this group of Central Plains people, at the same time they would definitely slack off after they were overjoyed. This was the flaw!
Thinking of this, Oda Guishuo slowly looked in the direction of Yingtian City, and for a long time he just said: "Blessings are where misfortune depends, and misfortune depends on blessings. This sentence respects me and you."
At this time, a dozen Japanese masters, after dealing with the soldiers patrolling under the city wall, began to attack this fortified city.
At this time, the few soldiers guarding the city were already very sleepy. In their hearts, they were probably thinking about when they could go home, and whether the Japanese army had already boarded the ship back to Japan.
But little did they know that at this moment the Japanese people had already begun to climb the city. A dozen people kept climbing along the ropes thrown up, and soon one person climbed up.
The dozens of people upstairs had already dozed off and were completely unaware of what was going on.
When everyone climbed up the tower, they slowly pulled out the Tang Heng daggers from their waists and looked at the guarding sergeants present with murderous intent in their eyes.
Someone discovered it and wanted to exclaim, but it was too late. These Japanese killers were almost all top killing machines in the Japanese army. In their eyes, dozens of people could be killed in less than a cup of tea.
"Hurry up and open the city gate and send a signal to the cavalry!"
As soon as they climbed onto the city wall, the next thing became extremely simple. More than ten people hurried to the city gate and quickly opened the city gate.
As the fuse was lit, a dazzling firework instantly soared into the sky.
When the cavalry two miles away saw this, they all looked ecstatic!
"We succeeded! Report to His Majesty the Emperor immediately!"
The next moment, dozens of fireworks continued to rise and explode in the sky.
After that, five thousand Qingqi rode quickly toward Yingtian City.
These fireworks not only alerted the Japanese people, but also woke up Longxia's army who was resting.
"Where did the fireworks come from?"
The deputy general suddenly woke up in the barracks and hurriedly asked the soldiers on the side.
"It seems to be coming from the city gate!"
Upon hearing this, the deputy general's face suddenly sank. He knew that something was wrong with the location of the city gate!
"Stop sleeping and come with me to have a look!"
After saying that, the nearly 10,000 Qi family troops remaining in the military camp quickly rushed towards the city gate.
As befitting the situation, before the sky got bright, a burst of spring rain fell sparsely.
Throughout the streets of Yingtian City, a thin mist suddenly arrived. Under the leadership of the deputy general, the Qi army continued to attack. The rain soaked their armor and soaked their blades. They stepped foot after foot into the mud, and there was a strong chilling atmosphere.
It spread instantly.
At this time, the more than ten Japanese sergeants at the city gate had not left either.
These soldiers in black were all standing side by side, guarding the open city gate behind them. They held the Tang Hengdao tightly in one hand and pointed the blade to the ground. They could hear the Long Xia army attacking not far away.
But for a dozen people, no matter how good their martial arts skills were, it would be nothing in the face of thousands of troops. When they accepted this mission, they knew that this might be the end of their lives.
But they are also soldiers. In a sense, they are the same as these Qi soldiers. They are loyal to the upper ruling class. They obey orders to defend the city, while they obey orders to attack the city.
It's just that the responsibilities are different.
Soon, thousands of Japanese troops, led by the deputy general, arrived in front of the city gate. When they saw more than a dozen Japanese pirates standing side by side in front of them, the deputy general couldn't help but cursed angrily: "The Japanese pirates are back again, as expected.
I must kill you all today!"
The next moment, under the command of the deputy general, the Qi army held knives and rushed toward more than a dozen Japanese people.
"kill!"
"Everyone! This is the last chance. Five thousand people will arrive on horseback. We will risk our lives to send them into the city!"
"Go to death!"
"Go to death!"
For these low-level soldiers, it is difficult to describe them as right or wrong. What is really wrong is the politicians above them who drive these soldiers to fight on the battlefield for their own interests.
For example, Oda Guishuo risked the lives of so many soldiers just for his own grudges.
The next moment, the two sides began to fight together. These Japanese killers were indeed brave. Even though there were nearly 10,000 troops coming, with their strong skills and their own beliefs, they were able to temporarily hold off Long Xia's army.
.
But in the end, they were hacked to death one after another, but then a large group of cavalry suddenly arrived outside the city!
When the deputy general who led the army saw this scene, he shouted angrily at the soldiers around him: "Kill these bastards quickly and close the city gate!"
Once five thousand people come to control the city gate, even if their side outnumbers them, it will not be enough to resolve the battle for a while. Once the Japanese army behind them arrives, everything will be over.
As for the Qi family yard at this time, Han Meier suddenly woke up when she heard the noise outside.
"Did something happen in the city?" Qi Zeguang asked.
Han Mei'er quickly put on her clothes and got out of bed: "You should keep an eye on Hu'er at home. I'll go out and take a look first."
After saying that, Han Meier hurried out the door.
The firelight kept dancing at the city gate, and the Japanese cavalry had already arrived at the city gate through the mud in the rainy night.
The war was about to break out. Both sides were fierce and fearless troops. It was difficult to decide the outcome for a while. They were just stalemate at the entrance of the city. But for the Japanese, this was enough.
As long as the city gate is not closed and the army comes from behind, everyone in the city will be killed in less than two hours.
Han Meier came to the battlefield wearing a raincoat. Seeing that Yingtian City was breached, her heart sank. She never expected that Oda Guishuo would counterattack so quickly and directly. After all, she was negligent.
