"During the previous siege battle, the general had already sent messengers to pass the news about you back. This means that other cities have now learned the news about your coming. When the time comes, they will forcefully attack the city. Your army will

There will inevitably be significant troop losses.

But if I help you, the situation will be different. I can lead other soldiers to help you trick the city gate into opening. I was originally a centurion in the army, and there are people who know me among the soldiers in other cities.

After we enter, we will directly seize control of the city gate. Depending on your strength, you will be able to easily capture the second city before reinforcements arrive from behind!"

I have to say that it is surprising that the young man in front of me could come up with such a comprehensive plan in such a short period of time after being captured. More importantly, this young man even took into account the speed of the rear reinforcements.

, that thoughtful and meticulous thinking made Xia Qi look askance.

Feeling the other person's gaze, the young man felt uneasy in his heart, and then quickly added another sentence.

"If you are worried, you can send a team of people to join us, but it is best not to have too many people, as that can easily arouse suspicion."

"What's your name?" Xia Qi suddenly asked this question without a clear answer.

"Li Chuan."

"Okay, Li Chuan, I'm sure!"

The loss of troops is indeed a problem. He can use the strategy of burning the city walls in the first city, but such a strategy may not be effective this time.

The most important thing is that this will take a long time. If the Royal Court waits until the royal court reacts and sends an army directly, the situation will become very unfavorable to him.

Xia Qi also didn't know that Wang Tian, ​​who died in this battle, was the most relied-upon general of the royal court, and that the prisoners in front of him were already the majority of the fighting troops that the other side could recruit.

Even if the army is sent again, it will only be new recruits.

Hearing the words of the person in front of him, Xia Qi's heart lit up. He originally planned to fight quickly, but the Li Chuan in front of him was not something he could use.

Just when Xia Qi was thinking about the pros and cons, Xiong who was standing next to him suddenly spoke.

"Clan leader, you can't believe what your enemies say! What if they turn against them directly after entering the city? Why don't we just kill them!" After saying that, Xiong cast a suspicious look at Li Chuan.

After hearing this, Li Chuan felt anxious and was about to defend himself, but Xia Qi waved his hand and said confidently: "It doesn't matter! If he changes sides, I will break through the city and kill him!"

In this way, Li Chuan, who received Xia Qi's support, rushed to the next city with his subordinates overnight.

It was night, and the top of the new city was brightly lit with fire. A soldier standing on the city wall squinted his eyes and looked at the gradually enlarging firelight in the night outside the city, and his face instantly became nervous.

He quickly shouted to the people around him: "Someone is coming from outside the city!"

The soldiers on duty who heard the commotion quickly gathered on the city wall and looked at the approaching team holding torches outside the city. As the gate officer of the south city gate guarding force, Wang Cheng raised his hand to signal the archers.

They were ready to release arrows at any time, and then shouted: "People outside the city, listen! Don't come closer, otherwise, I will ask the archers to release arrows!"

The people who came to the city were none other than Li Chuan and his party. When they heard the shouting on the city wall, they immediately

Stopped progress.

Seeing the cooperation of the other party, Wang Cheng's expression softened slightly, and then he shouted again, "Where are you from? Tell me your affiliation and name!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chuan quickly shouted: "I am Li Chuan under the general's command. Dongyuan City was attacked by the enemy and was about to lose its support. We were sent to the royal city to ask for reinforcements! Brothers in the city, please open the door quickly.

City Gate, we are tired and hungry now, and we urgently need a rest!"

While speaking, Li Chuan also deliberately raised the torch in his hand to let the firelight illuminate his face so that the people on the city wall could see clearly.

Li Chuan's answer made Wang Cheng really unable to understand anything wrong for a while, but he still felt hesitant in his heart.

Naturally, there is a general guarding the new city, but the general has already gone to sleep at this time. With the general's bad temper, if he is woken up, no matter what important matter it is, he will definitely get a meal afterwards.

Just when he was hesitating to open the door, a centurion beside him said: "General, I know this Li Chuan. He is indeed a member of the general's command."

"Then, let them in? With our general's temper, if you go to find him at this time, you will inevitably suffer." After hearing the words of his deputy, Wang Cheng immediately stopped hesitating and ordered the city gate to be opened.

"Brothers below, wait a moment, we will open the city gate right now!"

After hearing this, Li Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and finally managed to trick the city gate into opening.

The closed city gate of the new city slowly rose. The firelight reflected on his face made Li Chuan relax a little, and then he quickly tensed up his nerves. This was just the first step. The key point was to seize the city gate.

of control.

"Come in quickly!" After the city gate was halfway open, without moving any further, Wang Cheng's voice came from inside.

He was worried that something unexpected would happen if he left the city gate open for too long, while Li Chuan was worried that if he waited too long, the other party would notice something strange.

Thinking of this, Li Chuan naturally did not dare to waste any more time. As he walked forward, he quickly winked behind him by the light of the fire. The people behind him immediately understood and poured into the city.

"Chief, they're in."

In the distance, the bear hiding in the night still had a somewhat worried expression on his face. Even now, he still doubts what Li Chuan said.

"Why don't we take advantage of the opportunity now that the city gate is open to take action directly?"

"Don't worry." Xia Qi, who was standing next to him, looked calm.

"Don't be suspicious when you employ people, and don't be suspicious when you are suspicious. Since you have chosen to believe in Li Chuan once, let's just believe it thoroughly. How long will it take for the opponent to close the city gate? Even if we suddenly rush out now, at this distance, we can quickly pass the gate on the other side.

The one at the city gate?"

He first exhaled a breath, and then continued: "Suddenly rushing out will only disrupt Li Chuan's plan. Instead of doing this, it is better to take a gamble. If the gamble wins, this new city will naturally become ours."

thing, and that Li Chuan has proved his sincerity in surrendering. If he loses the bet, in the worst case, he will continue to act according to the original plan. No matter what, there will not be much loss to me."

Inside the new city gate, as the city gate fell again, Wang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Li Chuan, who was in a state of embarrassment, quickly took two steps forward. After approaching the other party, he looked at him gratefully.

He said: "Thank you two brothers..."

Wang Cheng just waved his hand when he heard this. He was about to say something, but unexpectedly

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

At this moment, a murderous intent flashed across Li Chuan's eyes, and he pulled out a bronze dagger that had been hidden in a leather wristband in an instant!

A cold light flashed quickly in front of his eyes. At that time, Wang Cheng, who had no time to react, only felt a chill in his throat, and his entire expression was completely frozen at that moment.

"Brothers, take action!"

Wang Cheng's fallen body seemed to be a signal for them to take action. The defeated soldiers, who were all covered in blood and could hardly stand without support from others, suddenly rose up at this moment.

In the blink of an eye, all the city defenders closest to them were chopped down to the ground!

This wave of attacks came so suddenly that the centurion Rui, who was a few steps behind Wang Cheng, changed his expression on the spot. Looking at the current situation, if he had taken two steps faster at that time, the corpse lying on the ground now would probably be

It's him.

When he thought of this, the centurion was shocked and angry, and he quickly shouted for the surrounding soldiers to attack him! However, in this era, everyone's focus was still on the day, and almost no one would do it at night.

Launching an attack on a city is a fool's errand. How to fight a siege?

It is precisely for this reason that the number of soldiers who keep watch at night is not very large at all. The number of soldiers who usually stand on the city wall to watch at night is only a small team, in other words, ten people.

Now that we have entered a state of martial law, the number of night watch soldiers in the new city has only doubled. However, doubling one squad will only result in two squads. There is not much to say about the number of soldiers.

Variety.

An unexpected wave of attacks from the other side directly cut the soldiers of their two night watch teams to pieces.

The military camp was not far from the city gate. Li Chuan could clearly see that the fire in the distance had brightened up, which was particularly dazzling in the dark night. It seems that some soldiers had noticed the movement here and quickly opened the city gate.

, it is business to let Xia Qi lead his troops into the city!

After the city gate was raised again, Li Chuan quickly ran outside holding a torch, and then waved the predetermined signal with the torch in his hand to notify Xia Qi and others in the distance.

Looking at the signal here, Xiong felt mixed.

When Xia Qi saw this, he waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Enter the city!"

Although he brought half of the 3,000-man force for this night attack, with the city gates wide open, it would not be easy to take over the city?

The new city initially stationed 500 defenders here, but when Wang Tian went to the border, 400 of these 500 guards were transferred away. In other words, there are now only 100 defenders in this city.

Originally, the general who defended this city thought that since there were already so many defenders in the border city ahead, it would be impossible for the enemy to attack. However, he did not expect that it only took less than a day to garrison the city.

The border city with a population of 4,000 had already been captured.

Even the general who was most trusted by the king was killed in the battle.

When Xia Qi's army entered the city, they rushed directly to the military camp as soon as possible. One thousand and five hundred murderous soldiers faced off against a hundred enemy soldiers who didn't even have time to put on their weapons and equipment. They were even asleep and confused. The victory of this battle was...

No need to say much at all.

When the general who defended the new city came to his senses, he was already helpless. He originally tried to organize a resistance, but when Xiong came after hearing the news, he was chopped in half by Xiong in less than three rounds.

At this point, the city has completely fallen into Xia Qi's hands.
