A Qian Hu, a Forbidden Army member with a strong build and a dignified face, walked nervously around the tent.
Yesterday, he had received a secret message sent secretly by Taojiang Masada Takayoshi.
The letter states that a plan will be launched to attack the east city wall at 10:00 today.
In this regard, Qianhu of the Forbidden Army has no objection, but is a little nervous.
After all, there are 100,000 soldiers in the city. If you are not careful, your body and soul will be destroyed.
But no matter what, being a ghost is much better than being a traitor.
So after a moment of panic, he calmed down a bit.
After all, the soldiers and horses outside the city are under Qin Yi's command. He believes that Qin Yi will definitely seize the opportunity.
Seize this opportunity that they fought for with their own flesh and blood.
When the time comes, by cooperating inside and outside, the possibility of breaking through Zhanjing will be greatly increased!
Not daring to delay, Qianhu of the Forbidden Army quickly put on their armor and were about to leave the camp and go to command their men, but suddenly their vision went dark and a general walked in.
Seeing the person coming, the eyes of thousands of people in the imperial army shrank suddenly!
The person who came was actually the captain, his immediate superior!
"Captain Du, why are you here?" Qianhu of the Forbidden Army asked hurriedly.
Faintly feeling that his subordinates were a little panicked, Colonel Du couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Cheng Qianhu, where are you going?"
Cheng Qianhu's heart was in crisis, and many thoughts flashed through him like lightning.
In an instant, he said aloud, "Today it is my humble turn to lead my subordinates to patrol the city."
Lieutenant Du frowned. If he remembered correctly, Cheng Qianhu just completed his patrol yesterday and should take a day off today.
Although he was puzzled, Lieutenant Du did not ask any more questions and instead said, "General Heng has ordered that if any kites are found during future patrols, they must be collected and burned immediately!"
"In addition, you have to pay attention to the people in the city to see if there is any change in them. If so, you have to take precautions early!"
Seeing that the other party did not pursue the matter, Cheng Qianhu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked, "Why is this?"
Captain Du frowned and explained, "Qin Yi has already arrived at the city and flew a kite, which fell into the city. General Heng is worried about affecting the situation, so he must take more precautions!"
Cheng Qianhu nodded quickly, "My subordinates understand and will pay more attention!"
Captain Du nodded, glanced at Cheng Qianhu, and asked, "Are you going out now?"
Cheng Qianhu was stunned for a moment and quickly responded, "Exactly."
"Then why don't you put on your helmet?" Captain Du glanced at the other party in confusion.
Cheng Qianhu was startled and said quickly, "I was in such a hurry that I almost forgot."
After saying that, he quickly turned around, walked to the table, picked up the helmet, and put it on his head.
Captain Du looked at it suspiciously, very puzzled.
Why did Cheng Qianhu act recklessly today?
With this doubt, he left the camp and walked outside.
Many soldiers quickly gathered to support him.
After thinking for a moment, Lieutenant Du still had doubts in his heart, so he said to the soldiers beside him, "Let's check who's turn it is to patrol the city today."
He vaguely felt that there might be something fishy here.
The soldiers immediately took the order and left.
Seeing Captain Du leading his troops away, Cheng Qianhu quickly came to the camp, ordered more than a thousand soldiers under his command, and hurried towards the east city.
Along the way, some households came to ask why they were still patrolling today after yesterday's patrol?
In this regard, Cheng Qianhu could only laugh and fool him.
Fortunately, everyone was extremely convinced of him, so they had no doubts.
Not long after, these soldiers arrived in the East City area and were about to approach the city wall.
At this time, hundreds of people suddenly walked out of the market not far away, each of them wrapped in robes. You could vaguely see that the light of metal was reflected under the robes!
The soldiers were shocked and were about to shout angrily when Cheng Qianhu shouted, "Don't panic, this is the general's order!"
When there was no one around, he said loudly to everyone, "The general suspected that the soldiers and horses guarding the east city wall had the intention to surrender. In order to avoid alarming the enemy, he asked me to come and catch them off guard and take back the east city wall!" "This group of troops are brothers in disguise, working with us. The general said that if the east wall is taken down, each person will be rewarded fifty taels of silver!"
After hearing this, many soldiers were surprised and happy.
Fifty taels, that’s a lot!
They immediately responded, "I humbly obey my command!"
Then, Cheng Qianhu ordered many soldiers to cut off a piece of their robe and tie it on their left arm for identification.
The soldiers obeyed the order and then, together with hundreds of people in disguise, ran towards the east wall.
Seeing that the distance was approaching, Cheng Qianhu immediately ordered, "Everyone draws their crossbows and prepares to attack. Brothers in disguise, follow behind, let us take the lead!"
He knew that these people with their heads and bodies wrapped in robes were the teachers and students of the Taijiang Academy. Each one of them was a talented person and extremely precious.
Therefore, he and his subordinates should charge. It doesn't matter if the big soldiers die, but every one of the students in the general academy can be saved.
Among hundreds of people, Marquis Dingjun is at the forefront, and he will command this operation.
Hearing what Cheng Qianhu said, he whispered, "Follow them, and you have to take off your robe before fighting!"
These robes will hinder movement and should be taken off in advance.
After a pause, Marquis Dingjun said in a deep voice, "Your names and your righteous deeds will be recorded in the annals of history and will be immortalized forever... I wish you all a safe return!"
If possible, he hopes that everyone can save their lives, but it is extremely difficult.
On the city wall, although many guards were alert to the outside of the city, there were also some guards who were passing by in formation. When they turned their eyes to the city, they found a group of men and horses rushing towards them not far away.
Seeing that the opponent was wearing Forbidden Army armor, everyone's guard disappeared. They were just a little curious and stared at the hundreds of people in robes behind the opponent.
Someone was confused and asked, "Who is coming?"
"The humble job is Qianhu, who is under the command of Colonel Du. Come here to change the defense!" Cheng Qianhu replied loudly as he approached.
The questioner's doubts gradually disappeared, but he suddenly remembered that Du Xiaowei's subordinates were not responsible for the defense of the city wall.
He wanted to ask again, but when he saw that the opponent was holding a crossbow in his hand, looking like he was ready to go, the man's heart tightened, and he guessed something.
Before the other party could react, Cheng Qianhu shouted loudly, "Fire the arrow!"
Marquis Dingjun also shouted angrily, "Tear off your robe!"
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Crossbow arrows were like locusts, shooting at the guards on the city wall!
The guards were horrified and quickly dodged and picked up their bows and arrows, preparing to fight back.
Cheng Qianhu immediately ordered, "Attack!"
They are below, and if they shoot at the guards, they will be suppressed and must start hand-to-hand combat as soon as possible!
The soldiers obeyed the instructions and rushed up the stairs to the top of the city while shooting.
In an instant, the two parties were fighting together, with blood and flesh flying everywhere!
Many students from the General Academy below the city were shocked. They had never been on the battlefield, and this scene had a great impact on them.
But no one is afraid. Fighting on the battlefield is the fate of a general!
Marquis Dingjun brandished his long sword and rushed forward. As he ran, he shouted angrily, "Come forward and support Cheng Qianhu!"
We must completely capture the city wall here before the enemy troops come to help!
In addition, he also hoped that Qin Yi would come as soon as possible after hearing the news.
Because they can't hold on for too long!
After hearing the order, many students from the General Academy also shouted and rushed to the top of the city to fight with the enemy soldiers.
The entire city was caught in a bloody battle, with wailing and blood splattering!
……
"Commander-in-Chief! Commander-in-Chief!"
A scout rushed into the tent and shouted urgently, "Commander, look at the east wall of Jingdong. Something strange has happened. Two parties are fighting!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yi immediately understood that someone had defected!
He originally planned to attack the city again in the evening. By then, he should be able to produce more than ten catapults.
But now, this is a huge opportunity that you must not miss!
He immediately ordered, "The whole army sets out and attacks the city immediately!"
Many generals in the tent rushed out of the tent, returned to the camp, put on armor, and prepared for a fierce battle.
With the assistance of many personal soldiers, Qin Yi quickly penetrated the armor, with a cold look in his eyes.
In the past, whether it was the city of Luan or the city of Liukang, he had never participated in the siege, just because Liuya had no eyes.
If he attacks the city recklessly and is accidentally injured by stray arrows, it will have a huge impact on his own side.
But in this siege, he has decided that he must participate!
Although the risk is extremely high, his combat power alone is greater than that of dozens of people. If they attack the city together, the chance of victory will be greater.
After all, you only have one chance. If you fail, you will be surrounded by enemy soldiers.
By then, there will be no possibility of recapturing Zhanjing!
After quickly dressing up, Qin Yi carried a spear, mounted a horse, galloped out of the camp, and waited for the soldiers to form an array.
Because they were in the heart of the enemy, many soldiers did not take off their armor. They were ready in an instant and came out of the camp one after another to form battle formations.
Not long after, the front army had been arrayed. Qin Yi immediately said to Chen Yu, "I will lead the front army and rush to attack the city. You stay here until the rear army is arrayed and come to help immediately!"
Then, Qin Yi turned around, looked at the many soldiers, and shouted loudly, "You all know that our army has very little food and grass left, and the enemy troops are coming. If we cannot win this battle, we will definitely fall into a siege. By then,
, you and I will both die, so in this battle, we can only win, not lose!"
"Where is Mao Lifu?" Qin Yi shouted.
Mao Lifu quickly shouted, "Here is my humble duty!"
"Lead the people, light a fire, and burn all the food and grass left in the camp!" Qin Yi shouted flatly, "If you want food and grass, go into the city and get it!"
Mao Lifu was slightly startled, but he did not dare to say anything more. He quickly led many soldiers and rushed into the camp.
Not long after, thick smoke rose from the area where food and grass were stored in the camp.
When many soldiers saw it, their pupils shrank suddenly and determination appeared on their faces!
This battle must not be lost!
Turning around and looking into the distance, Qin Yi shouted loudly, "All officers and men listen to the order and follow me to attack the city!"
He slapped the horse violently and galloped out like an angry dragon!
The soldiers followed up with steps, and the entire military formation gathered the momentum of a last-ditch battle, which was unparalleled!
