Xinfeng City seems to be a giant beast, sleeping in the darkness.
In the silent night sky, the crisp chirping of birds occasionally came.
On the tower, except for the soldiers standing guard inside the female wall and a dozen soldiers patrolling back and forth, there were no other soldiers on the tower.
"Tap! Tread!"
On the silent tower, except for the footsteps of soldiers walking back and forth, it was very quiet. Plugged in the tower, the crackling burning torch revealed a red light and emitted waves of heat, dispelling the chill in the night. But the spring cold was severe.
, when a gust of cold air blew in the face, the soldiers on the tower still couldn't help but shrink their heads.
"Ah sneeze!"
A soldier sneezed and rubbed his sore nose.
He stood on the inside of the female wall, staring carefully into the distance in a daze.
There was nothing in the dark area outside the city tower, only the sticky night, but the soldiers remained the same, staring ahead and motionless.
Suddenly, a few lights flashed in the soldier's dazed eyes. In an instant, more and more small fire points gathered together, forming a dazzling brilliance. The soldier's dazed eyes suddenly came alive, and he stretched out his hand to point.
In the distance, he exclaimed: "Quick, look, there is fire ahead."
Since Duan Xuan and Xu Rong led the troops to Fan Chou's camp and also left Xinfeng City, the soldiers could not tell whether the enemy troops or their own people appeared in front of them. He shouted loudly, and when the other soldiers heard it, they all turned their eyes to the front
On the light spot, the red torch shined, and a huge team slowly appeared.
"Enemy attack!"
"It's an enemy attack! It's an enemy attack!"
…
On the tower, soldiers screamed in surprise.
The soldiers on patrol hurried to the edge of the parapet, stretched out their heads and looked carefully. Looking around, they saw a dark team under the dark night, illuminated by firelight. The soldiers saw so many enemy troops,
With the corners of their mouths twitching and a look of horror on their faces, Xu Rong and Duan Yan led the army out of the city. The defensive force in the city was very weak and they would definitely not be able to stop the enemy in front of them.
"Rumble..."
The footsteps of countless soldiers mixed together, like waves coming, mixed with the sound of rolling thunder, which was terrifying.
The silent night sky suddenly became boiling and noisy.
On the city tower, a patrolling soldier quickly ran to the captain guarding the city tower and said in a low voice: "Master Colonel, there is no defensive force in the city. We are not even prepared for basic rolling stones, boiling water, and wood. How can we defend the city?"
Ah? If we wait until the army attacks the city, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
The soldier hesitated, but did not say the next few words.
When the captain heard this, a cold and stern look flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a deep voice: "Since you can't stop it, what do you think we should do?"
When the soldier saw the captain asking the question, he did not notice the coldness in the captain's tone at all. Instead, he thought that the captain was shaken and was ready to surrender. The soldier was happy, bent down slightly, lowered his head, and said with cupped hands: "Sir, captain
, we will definitely not be able to withstand the massive army attacking the city. Instead of resisting desperately and suffering countless casualties before being breached and the city gates breached, it is better to open the city and surrender directly."
After hearing this, the captain's mouth curled up, and the coldness on his face became more intense.
When the soldier saw that the captain did not answer, doubts flashed in his heart. He still bent over and raised his head slightly to look at the captain. However, the moment he raised his head, the pupils in the soldier's eyes shrank, and his eyes flickered with fear.
look.
Sonorous!
A crisp sound sounded, and the captain suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and raised the blade upwards.
"puff!"
The sword flashed, and the soldier's head immediately moved, fell from his neck, landed on the city wall and rolled a few times, leaving a pool of blood. The soldier lost his head, but his body was still standing on the city wall, and he still had some feeling.
.I saw a stream of warm blood spraying out from the neck and falling on the ground, dotted with blood-red plum blossoms.
With a thud, the soldier's body fell to the ground.
He was killed before he could even make a sound.
At this time, a few spots of blood spattered on the captain's cheek, making his already stern cheeks look a little more ferocious.
He glanced at the soldiers on the tower and shouted coldly: "General Xu has already anticipated today's situation. There are still hundreds of soldiers left in the city, enough to garrison the county seat. Although there are many troops outside the city, Xinfengcheng County is strong.
As long as we wait for reinforcements, we will definitely be able to wait until the general returns with his troops. You will all do your best to defend the city. If there is anyone who shakes the morale of the army, he will be an example."
The captain pointed his knife at the soldiers and sneered.
After finishing speaking, the captain asked the soldiers to inform the resting soldiers in the city.
A moment later, hundreds of soldiers rushed up the city wall, preparing to defend the city. The captain glanced at the busy soldiers, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. He said it nicely, but he knew that with the hundreds of soldiers in front of him, he wanted to defend Xinfeng City.
It was very difficult. The captain turned his eyes and looked at the army rushing over from outside the city. He thought to himself: It is worth spending hundreds of soldiers in exchange for victory in the war.
Not long after, the army coming from outside the city stopped.
Fan Chou immediately stepped forward, looked at the captain on the city tower, and shouted: "I am General Fan Chou. You and I will open the city gate immediately, abandon the city and surrender. I, the general, will spare your life."
The captain laughed loudly and shouted: "Fan Chou, you have fallen into a trap. My general has already led his troops to attack the camp, and he has probably captured the camp by now. Your camp was destroyed, the food and grass were robbed, and tens of thousands of troops were left without food.
, let’s see how long you can continue to be arrogant. Although you have tens of thousands of troops, they are just chickens and dogs, so get back quickly.”
After hearing this, Fan Chou was so angry that he screamed.
However, the captain's words obviously didn't work, because Li Ru and Jia Xu had already expected this situation.
Fan Chou was about to speak, but he saw Li Ru walking up and said softly: "General, the captain is stalling for time, don't bother with him. Attack the city immediately and capture Xinfeng City as soon as possible, otherwise there will be changes."
Fan Chou nodded, waved the sword in his hand, and shouted: "Attack the city!"
After giving the order, the soldiers quickly took out their siege equipment and prepared to attack the city.
Because the paths chosen by Fan Chou and Li Meng were different from Xu Rong's, the two armies did not meet. Each side fought its own way. Fan Chou led his troops to attack Xinfeng City, while Duan Xuan led his troops to pretend to attack the camp.
Both sides showed off their skills, but Duan Xuan was killed by Zhang Xiu, while Li Ru and Fan Chou were still attacking the city, and the final result was still unknown.
Fan Chou, Li Meng, and Li Ru stood at the foot of the city tower on horseback, watching the soldiers rushing up one by one, with different expressions on their faces. Fan Chou and Li Meng looked happy, happy that they were about to capture Xinfeng City, but Li Ru looked solemn.
, fell into deep thought.
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound, and the entire tower felt a tremor.
Dozens of soldiers carried a huge log as thick as a millstone and rushed towards the city gate quickly. The conical head of the huge log hit the city gate, making a dull crashing sound. The city gate was hit by the huge log, like a small boat in the stormy sea.
, was about to fall down at any time. A rumbling sound sounded, and a cloud of dust fell from the city gate, but the soldiers did not notice it at all and continued to hit the city gate with the giant wood.
On the city tower, the hundreds of soldiers who were responsible for the defense had no wood, no boiling oil or boiling water, no boulders... All the soldiers were just providing the most basic defense, struggling to kill the soldiers who climbed up the ladders and resist the soldiers rushing up.
However, the number of several hundred soldiers was ultimately limited and could not withstand the army's attack on the city.
After the first Xiliang soldier climbed up the tower, the second and third soldiers quickly rushed up one by one and fought hand-to-hand with the soldiers on the tower.
"Bang!"
When countless soldiers poured out of the city tower, the city gate was slammed open.
In an instant, a group of soldiers rushed into Xinfeng City frantically. Li Ru frowned as he looked at Xinfeng City, which was easily knocked away. He stretched out his hand and a man in black quickly appeared next to Li Ru. Li Ru lowered his head.
After whispering a few words to the man in black, the man in black disappeared into the night sky and ran towards the city.
When Fan Chou and Li Meng saw that the city gate had been captured, they said, "Let's go, get ready to enter the city."
Li Ru advised: "General Fan, General Li, there are still stubborn soldiers resisting on the city tower and inside the city. Both sides are fighting. You two are worth a lot of money. Chang'an is about to be conquered. How can you put yourself in danger? Why don't you wait and wait?"
What do you think after we deal with the stubborn soldiers on the tower and inside the city and then lead the troops into the city?"
After hearing this, Fan Chou was convinced, nodded and said, "Mr. Li's words are reasonable, let's wait a moment."
At this time, the captain on the city tower sighed in his heart when he saw that the situation was over. Looking around, he saw that both the city tower and the city walls were already filled with Xiliang troops. The captain shook his head and shouted: "I surrender, I
surrender!"
He threw away the sword in his hand and knelt on the ground in surrender.
At the same time, more than ten soldiers around the captain also knelt down and surrendered.
The siege did not take long, but the hundreds of defending soldiers were almost dead. Because there were so many Xiliang soldiers swarming up the city wall, a few hundred people in the eyes of thousands or even more soldiers,
It is simply negligible and cannot block the attacks of so many soldiers.
The captain surrendered, and several soldiers stationed on the city wall showed contempt.
At the beginning, the captain resolutely killed people to establish his authority and made the soldiers resist. However, the captain was the first to throw down his weapons and surrender. He was really a good and conscientious captain!
Although these soldiers despised the captain's actions, they quickly threw down their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
At this time, when the captain who stormed the city wall saw this, he was overjoyed and shouted: "If you surrender, you will not be killed. If you surrender, you will not be killed!"
After the first one surrendered, there were the second, the third... and then the captain's call for surrender, the soldiers in the city gave up resistance and directly chose to surrender. Compared with the lives of the soldiers, everything is more important.
It can be thrown away. The soldiers threw down their swords with a clang and knelt on the ground, praying for surrender. At the same time, they tried not to kneel in the middle of the road to avoid being affected.
It didn't take long for Xinfeng City to be captured.
In fact, there are many reasons why Xinfeng City could be captured so easily.
There was no command by a coach, no elite soldiers to guard, no defensive equipment such as wood, boiling water, and boiling oil... The accumulation of one thing after another made Xinfeng City unable to persist for a long time, and finally had to surrender. Especially the captain responsible for the defense.
, they resisted resolutely at first, and then immediately surrendered after seeing that something was wrong with the situation, causing the army to be instantly defeated.
Outside the city, Fan Chou and Li Meng rode their horses and walked slowly forward.
The two of them looked excited, with burning eyes flashing in their eyes. They were both excited to get closer to Chang'an.
At this time, the man in black appeared next to Li Ru and whispered for a while. After Li Ru heard this, his face changed drastically. He kept thinking in his heart, looked at the dark night, and immediately shouted: "General Fan, General Li
, wait a minute!" With one sentence, Fan Chou and Li Meng stopped. They looked back at Li Ru, with puzzled expressions on their faces.
Now that Xinfeng City has been taken, what is there to hesitate about?
After Li Ru came up, Fan Chou asked, "Mr. Li, what's the matter with stopping us two?"
Li Ru winked at Fan Chou and Li Meng and spoke in a low voice, indicating that they would cooperate with him. After the two nodded in agreement, Li Ru said loudly: "Two generals, the city is in chaos. It is better to wait until the battlefield is cleared before entering the city.
how?"
Fan Chou said loudly: "Okay, just listen to Mr. Li."
Li Meng also said: "Mr. Li's words make sense!"
The three people looked at each other and smiled.
At this time, outside Xinfeng City, in a dense forest in the distance, several black figures were hiding in the dense forest, hiding under the green leaves and the dark night. The soldiers could not clearly see the expressions of Li Ru and others, and they could not
They could only vaguely hear Li Ru and others talking. They saw that Li Ru and others had not entered the city, with anxious expressions on their faces.
