Chapter 208 God’s Cooperation, Special Operations

Because the five thousand Anbei troops outside the city had no intention of attacking the city and no siege equipment, the soldiers on duty in Shuiyang City in the middle of the night were not considered elite.

Tian Ming's own old base is only two thousand, and he needs to use it for daytime confrontation. At that time, he is likely to encounter a strong attack from Anbei's main force.

This kind of strategic arrangement is not only correct, it can even be said to be excellent. When the strength of the enemy and ourselves are greatly disparity, the strongest combat power can be preserved to deal with it.

But they never expected that the first special joint operation of the Anbei Governor's Office would be applied to Shuiyang City.

The avatar of the God Lord has just used thunderous means to unify the Bei'an divine world and establish the Anbei Divine Court. I don't know how many newly attached gods want to perform meritorious deeds.

They witnessed with their own eyes that the God Lord promoted the city god Chao Qu to take over Bei'an County. At the same time, he spoke of the Tianxian and decreed that Yang Wan was the Pingcang City God.

In addition, there are ghosts, one ghost, two ghosts and three, who have gathered themselves into gods and been named as divine Yin servants. This was a serious Yin job that existed when the underworld was still there.

Many human gods, such as the City God, the Earth God, and the Wandering God, were overjoyed. They could not reach the Heavenly Court. Now that there was a Divine Court to shelter them, they could not do their best.

When Zhou Bai led his army to march into Ruinan, the avatars of the God Lord moved simultaneously, and the gods of Anbei Shenting followed the army to Ruinan County.

On the one hand, they want to expand the incense area, bring the Ruinan spirit under the jurisdiction of the divine court, and suppress dissidents; on the other hand, they want to help the Anbei army successfully capture Ruinan County.

Youye, the night traveler under Chao Qu, was the most active. He risked being suppressed by the law and sneaked into Shuiyang County to investigate information.

Before Jiao Tu's night attack, he led the way for the gods of Shenting to go straight to the God's Domain of Shuiyang City, so that the gods of Shuiyang City could not warn Tian Ming.

Then, the night wind was summoned to make the guards sleepy, and the dark clouds obscured the moonlight...

Although these small means cannot directly affect the actual battle situation, they still play an important role that cannot be ignored.

Five hundred martial arts masters served as night attack elites, their movements were well-trained, swift and silent.

With excellent strength and skill, he can use hook locks to climb the county-level city wall without any pressure.

Jiao Tu took a few talented officers to climb up first, and he went on a rampage and killed all the defenders. The defenders were stunned by the rain of arrows.

Why did this fierce general suddenly appear at the top of the city, and there was a steady stream of enemies climbing up the city wall behind him.

The unexpected night attack made the fighting at the top of the city one-sided. The only thing the defenders had time to do was to issue an alarm to the entire city before Jiao Tu captured the city gate.

The rapid sound of gongs, the panicked shouts of soldiers, and the sounds of fighting...

Shuiyang City, which had never been quiet before, was completely awakened. The lights in the houses along the street were turned on and off because of the rapid passing of troops outside.

The elite county soldiers who woke up in the military camp did not even have time to put on their armor, so they were rushed to the city gate by the officers.

Everyone knows that if the city gate is breached in the middle of the night, everything will really stop.

"Dong dong, County Lord, County Lord, something bad is happening!"

At the back of the county government office, the county magistrate Tian Ming woke up to the panicked doorbell. Without a moment's hesitation, he quickly dressed and got up.

The Anbei Army is just outside the city. What good can happen if they are woken up at this time?

When he opened the door, he saw that the people coming were none other than a few close men, their faces full of eagerness and fear.

At this time, there were sounds of running footsteps inside and outside the county government office, and the atmosphere of war was spreading. Tian Ming's heart was actually in chaos.

But he still reprimanded without changing his expression: "Calm down! Tell me what's going on."

The confidant wiped the sweat from his forehead, forced himself to calm down and whispered: "The east city was successfully attacked by the enemy at night. The enemy climbed up the city wall. I don't know if the city gate has been saved yet!"

Tian Ming's mind was spinning, his face turned red, and he said in disbelief: "How is it possible? Shuiyang City God promised me that he would warn me if there is an emergency.

"We don't cooperate once or twice. Could it be that the incense offerings in the past few years are in vain?!"

"Also, could Anbei's army be able to fly? How could they steal the city under the eyes of the defenders?"

After he was awakened, he thought about many situations, such as the families in the city trying to dedicate the city, or which military academy in the east city was bribed, and the inside should cooperate with the outside.

It's okay if the Shuiyang City God didn't give a warning. The key point is the east city wall. It was attacked by Anbei army in a sneak attack. It's too unreasonable.

"Your Majesty, if you hear the cry of killing, could your subordinates still lie to you?"

"You use incense to win over the gods. How can this be a solid relationship?"

"The county army camp has received news that General Zhang is leading troops to support Dongcheng. The servants have gathered outside the Yamen. Please make a quick decision on how to proceed next."

Tian Ming can take root in Shuiyang and run it like an iron bucket, and of course a group of confidants are indispensable.

The words of his confidants made him completely awaken. Now that things have happened, is it possible that he still needs to rely on the gods to turn the tide?

Tian Ming took a deep breath and glanced in the direction of Dongcheng. The situation there was still unclear.

No longer hesitating, he pointed to the close retainers in front of him and said: "You go and collect the county seals, yellow books, and important documents, and prepare for the dedication of the city. I will take my retainers to the east city."

"grown ups!"

"We have to give it a try. Surrendering the city and offering a complete city are completely different treatments afterwards." Tian Ming waved his hand and said with a complicated mood.

His current idea is to sell Shuiyang City at a better price and surrender when Zhou Bai comes to the city in person.

Regardless of whether Jiao Tu used a "despicable" method like a night attack, it is a fact that Shuiyang City God kept silent, and it is also a fact that Anbei Army climbed to the top of the city without the help of siege equipment.

A mere five thousand people had already pushed Shuiyang City to a desperate situation. With the arrival of the main force, it was unimaginable that Shuiyang City could survive three days.

Tian Ming has been in the officialdom for a long time, and his extraordinary characteristics have been suppressed by his official aura, but he is still half a Taoist, and judging from the rough luck situation, it is not a problem.

At this time, five thousand Anbei troops launched a massive attack. At the critical moment of capturing the city gate, the military spirit was boiling, and the luck of the Anbei Governor's Mansion was also revealed.

Ruinan and Bei'an really collided for the first time. As the magistrate of Shuiyang County, Tian Ming was lucky enough to get a glimpse of the destiny.

In his eyes, the dark clouds in the sky were about to collapse, and the majestic mountain-like momentum in the distance was overwhelming and overwhelming, making him breathless.

Whether it was his own Ruinan Jiedu Mansion or the Dingzhou Yamen, he had been in touch and watched, but he had no insights at all.

That is the rising sun, which is rising infinitely. Everything that stands in front of it will be burned to ashes.

Tian Ming made a decision and acted very quickly. He got on his horse outside the county government office, and headed straight for Dongcheng with his loyal servants and government servants.

If you can hold it, defend it first; if you can't, surrender immediately.

As Dongcheng got closer and closer, Tian Ming's heart sank. Why did some defeated soldiers retreat along the way?

He ordered his men to seize the defeated troops on the front line and angrily shouted: "Where is General Zhang? Why retreat first?!"

The face of the defeated soldier was full of horror, and he said with a cry: "My lord, we can't stop it. Anbei's soldiers are all defeated by a hundred people. General Zhang has been beheaded in the doorway by the enemy general. The city gate cannot be saved."

Did the general who controlled the county soldiers die for him? Tian Ming swayed and almost fell off his horse.

However, before he could feel sad or ask questions, the battle at the east city gate ahead seemed to reach its peak, and the sound of fighting filled the sky.

Tian Ming's eyes could see at night, and he could clearly see a wave of fiery red flowing out of the city gate. That was the color of the military uniforms of Daxu Jingzhi's soldiers!

"Failed?" Tian Ming tightened his grip on the horse's rope and still stared straight at the city gate.

Sure enough, right after, the rolling and raging black tide surged out.

They were a group of cold soldiers wearing black armor, like ghost soldiers from the underworld, they were the Anbei Army!

The black tide rushed into the red tide, and within a moment, the fiery red colors representing Shuiyang County soldiers were washed away, leaving scattered soldiers everywhere.

The momentum of Anbei's army was so fierce that more and more soldiers rushed into the city gate. From the city gate to the city wall, the east city was about to be completely destroyed.

Tian Ming couldn't bear it on his face, and he was also very unwilling in his heart. The old soldiers he had worked hard to cultivate for many years were so vulnerable in front of these Anbei soldiers?

It's almost a matter of personal quality, military coordination, and complete crushing of armor and weapons.

But he also knew that now was not the time to feel sentimental, so he immediately turned his horse's head and shouted: "Withdraw!"

When the servants who had been favored by the master's family saw the retreat of the front line, they did not feel any timidity at this time, or gave up the idea of ​​​​escape from the master's family, but took up their positions one after another.

Some of them followed Tian Ming and evacuated to the county government office, while others consciously cut off the rear to avoid being chased and killed.

During the escape, a person who had been with Tian Ming for many years stood beside him on horseback and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are you surrendering or running away from other city gates?"

Qin Sui put a hand on his waist, and his tone of voice was a little weird and not right.

Of course Tian Ming knew something was wrong. He even knew that this follower had already been bribed by Ruinan Jiedu Yanluo and was a traitor.

"Oh? The instruction given to you by Marshal Yan is for me to stick to Shuiyang?"

"You are deliberately keeping me here!" As soon as Tian Ming's slightly teasing words came out, his face changed drastically, and he drew his sword and wanted to do that evil thing.

But he didn't realize that when he approached Tian Ming, he was also close to the other two riders.

Even though he was in the acquired realm and had good martial arts, he was killed off his horse after three rounds.

The last sight of the entourage was a group of county magistrate's confidants from behind, rushing over with large and small bags. Inside were official seals, yellow books, and documents, which represented the ownership of Shuiyang County's political power.

Yes, Tian Ming chose to surrender. In his opinion, continuing to resist pointlessly would only lead to further loss of points.

It was already impossible to offer the complete Shuiyang City as a gift, so he had to try his best to make up for the aftermath.

What surprised Tian Ming was that Jiao Tu, a general with a strong sense of the overall situation, did not accept his surrender and said he was waiting for the governor to arrive in person. This was rare political wisdom.

Of course, although Jiao Tu did not surrender in advance, he gave Tian Ming full power to assist the Anbei army in reassuring the people.

When Zhou Bai led his 30,000 main force to Shuiyang City on the afternoon of July 10th, what greeted him was a completely stable city.

Tian Ming went out of the city to surrender according to ancient rituals, and handed over all power. He was as obedient as he wanted.
