Chapter 188: Zhongfu
Hunta nodded gently, without saying anything more, his whole face was shrouded in gloom.
Although Sun Yanling was willing to please him, he was afraid that he would be too full. Then things would change and he would not be able to take Xiuyan City. Hunta would blame him for all the crimes.
Be cautious and be careful. For a small person like Sun Yanling, these are his ways to survive.
Before, he lost Xiuyan City and A Chier was killed. If all this is to be investigated, Sun Yanling cannot escape the blame. Although the latter did not blame too much after he saw Hunta, it does not mean that Hunta had no concern about it.
Therefore, looking at Hunta with a gloomy face, Sun Yanling was also very obediently shut up and said nothing. He stood there quietly with Hunta, silent.
After winter begins, the weather passes by one day.
The Qing army stood in the wilderness, and the north wind blew one after another, and the cold fell into the bone marrow.
After waiting for a while, Xiuyan City, which stood in the distance, was like a silent giant beast, without any movement.
Hunta was a little impatient and turned his head to look at Sun Yanling, with fire in his eyes.
Sun Yanling hurriedly said, "Master, wait a little longer. Even if the matter is leaked, it shouldn't be so quiet."
Hunta still didn't say anything, but his face became even more gloomy.
After a while, a loud thunderous sound suddenly sounded in the city. Then a red pillar of fire rose into the sky, shouting and crying suddenly sounded.
Seeing that the south city gate was slowly opened, Sun Yanling was overjoyed and pointed to the front and said, "Master, the door is opened, the door is opened." He shouted excitedly.
Hunta pointed at the front of the spear, "Go in and seize Xiuyan City."
Hundreds of riders who could not hold back could not help but rushed over with their orders.
Sun Yanling also followed him. He was a contact person in the city and had to contact them as soon as possible.
Hunta stood in place, responsible for commanding other soldiers.
In addition to the hundreds of cavalry rushing towards the city gate, nearly a thousand infantrymen also began to move. They carried the stairs and rushed to the city wall quickly. When they arrived, they put the stairs on the city wall and climbed up the stairs quickly.
The city gate is so wide that even if it is opened, too many people cannot pass through in a short period of time. Climbing into the city through the city wall can further put pressure on the defenders in the city and relieve the pressure on the cavalry from the city gate.
To seize the city means to allow the most soldiers to enter the city in the shortest time, thus forming a crushing force on the soldiers guarding the city.
Perhaps in the early stage, the soldiers guarding the city had the advantage in terms of military strength. However, they were suddenly attacked, the situation was unknown, and panicked, and it was difficult to gather together in a short period of time.
Once someone fled in panic, it would lead a lot of people to run around to survive, which would increase chaos. This was the reason why Li Dingguo was able to successfully seize the city at that time.
At this moment, Hunta wanted to use his own way to cure him and retake Xiuyan City.
In order to achieve this goal, the Qing army made detailed plans.
In the afternoon, the Qing army attacked the two gates in the east and north, attracting the attention of the defenders to the two sides. This prompted Li Dingguo to mobilize troops to reinforce the two gates and create opportunities for the city's detailed work.
After the city falls into chaos, attack from the south and north gates.
The Qing army at the North Gate was led by Nan Chu, with a large number of people, and was the main force of the Qing army. They made as much noise as possible at the North Gate, making the defenders mistakenly think that there was the direction of their siege.
There were few people in the South Gate, only three thousand people, but they were all elite and led by Hunta. This was the agreed direction of entering the city with the city, and it was also their real attack direction.
To this end, they brought all the stairs that could climb up the city.
If the city can open the city gate in the chaos, of course it is best. If it cannot, it doesn't matter. As long as they can cause chaos in the city, the Qing army can directly attack the city.
After all, according to detailed information, there are only two or three thousand defenders in the city, and the average number is only hundreds of people per sect. As long as the city chaotic occurs, Hunta will have enough confidence to attack.
But there is no need at this moment. The city gate is wide open, and the horses rush into the city with the sound of "da" hooves like a gust of wind.
Sun Yanling followed behind and arrived at the city gate. More than a dozen guards surrounded him and protected him tightly. He turned around and looked around without seeing his familiar face. There were shouts and screams around him, unable to tell the enemy and me, and unable to see clearly ahead. He did not encounter fierce resistance, and even the feather arrows shot from the top of the city were sparse.
Looking at Sun Yanling who was hesitant, one of the guards shouted: "Master, come to the city! The soldiers behind are coming here again."
Sun Yanling turned his head and looked at it. Some infantrymen had reached the city wall and were climbing up the stairs. Some were huddling here, with hundreds of people. He looked over and met the gloomy gaze of Hunta, and suddenly shivered. Hunta was not a kind person.
He hesitated for a moment, turned his head and slapped his horse towards the city gate, and whispered while galloping: "After entering, guarding the city gate first. If something is wrong, evacuate the city immediately."
More than 200 vanguards of Qing cavalry entered the city first. They were running forward quickly under the guidance of one person, and they did not see an enemy on the road.
But after walking about three hundred steps, they found a long wall of sheep and horses inexplicably appeared in front of them, lying in the middle of the street and could not be bypassed.
The leader Qing general turned around and asked the lead, but the man was gone. Just as he was full of doubts, countless bow-holding soldiers suddenly appeared behind the wall of sheep and horses.
A gong and drum sounded, and arrows suddenly turned like rain.
With such a short distance, there is no way to hide and no way to avoid it, countless people fell to the ground in an instant.
Then more gun-carried soldiers emerged from the houses on both sides. More than a dozen of them gathered together, with the gun head facing outwards, and they stabbed the Qing soldiers on their horses fiercely.
Some of the more clever people saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately jumped off the horse and barely escaped. Those who reacted slowly, several spears arrived in front of them in a moment, and were stabbed into a string in an instant.
The screams of people and the neighing of horses continued to echo on the long streets.
When Sun Yanling heard the sound in front of him was wrong, he quickly asked a guard to climb up to the city to check the situation, and he shouted to stop others from entering the city. But in the messy environment, few people heard his shouting. Or under the stimulation of seizing military merits, no one cared about his shouting.
With a scream, a man rolled down from the stone staircase on the right side of the city gate.
Sun Yanling was shocked and looked up and saw that it was the guard. He rolled down the stone ladder like a stone, and red blood flowed out a long passage.
Looking upwards, a tall figure stood there with a spear in his hand, with a cold and resolute expression.
