Seven hundred and twentieth eight chapters seize the city

Time gradually came to Hai hour, and the generals in the West Courtyard were all drunk on the floor. They were all drunk. A few generals who drank the most were still holding wine jars and drinking wildly, but they were no longer able to survive.

Dozens of soldiers waiting outside were also invited to the inner courtyard for a meal, and every one of them had their throats slit by Song army scouts.

Tang Qian led more than 40 elite Song army scouts to the North City Gate. The North City Gate was not popular and was not opened during the day, let alone at night. Only a hundred soldiers were responsible for patrolling the North City at night.

But even so, a hundred soldiers would not stand guard on the city wall. In a courtyard closest to the north city gate, seventy or eighty soldiers gathered together to gamble.

The room was steaming and brightly lit. Several soldiers were sitting at the table betting against each other, and everyone was betting. The surroundings were crowded with soldiers who were placing bets and watching the bets. They kept shouting, "Big! Big! Big!"

Tang Qian's army did not alert them, but went directly to the city along the corridor. They were wearing the armor of the puppet Qi army, but their left arms were wrapped with white cloth, which was the symbol of military discipline.

More than forty people swaggered up to the top of the city. The top of the city was deserted, with only a dozen or so people, a few people on each side of the city, and five soldiers standing on the top of the city tower.

Tang Qian immediately divided his troops and took action. Two small teams went to kill the soldiers on both sides of the city. He led his men straight to the city tower.

"Where is your leader!" Tang Qian stepped forward and asked sternly.

Logically, the command should have been given first, but a group of military discipline soldiers came forward aggressively, frightening the five soldiers into silence.

"Commander, I'm going to Yang Mansion for a drink." A soldier stammered in reply.

Five soldiers of the Song Army came up from behind. With sharp daggers in their hands, they jumped forward, covered the mouths of the five soldiers, and cut their throats with one knife. At the same time, the soldiers on the city walls on both sides also succeeded.

The Song army immediately pulled out the big iron bolt on the top of the city, opened the door bolt, and the city gate creaked open.

Three torches were thrown down from the top of the city, and the three thousand Song troops who were ambushing not far away jumped up and rushed toward the north gate.

At the same time that Tang Qian led his army to the north city, a messenger cavalry entered the city from the south gate and ran into the military camp.

"Where is Mo Dutong?" the messenger cavalry asked loudly.

There are only two soldiers on duty in the commander's tent. If there is an emergency, they will notify Mo Huaixian.

The first soldier on duty replied: "Mo Dutong is in the mansion, not in the military camp!"

"Please come to the military camp immediately, Mo Dutong. There is an urgent military situation from Kong Dutong, and I need his signature. I will go back overnight to respond."

When the soldier on duty saw the messenger cavalry holding a red envelope with three goose feathers stuck on it, which was an urgent military message from the commander-in-chief Kong Yanzhou, he did not dare to delay and immediately rushed to Mo Huaixian's residence with the messenger troops.

Mo Huaixian's residence is about three hundred steps away from the military camp and also on the central axis. It is an official residence covering an area of ​​five acres. His wife and children are in his hometown, and his two concubines live here.

The guard on duty called for the door of the house to be opened, and went in with the messenger to report.

At this time, three Song Army scouts were lurking on the roof dozens of steps away from the gate. They were ambush soldiers among the scouts and were equivalent to snipers in later generations. They all used military crossbows and could hit the target accurately within a hundred steps.

The three scouts have put three poisonous crossbow arrows into the slots and are patiently waiting for the opportunity.

Not long after, a dozen soldiers came out, surrounded by a general in mountain armor. A soldier took the war horse. The general, who was about forty years old, got on his horse and fired three poisonous crossbow arrows at the same time. 'Pfft!' Three

A poisonous crossbow arrow hit his neck at the same time.

Mo Huaixian never dreamed that he was being plotted in front of his home. He let out a muffled scream and fell from his horse. The soldiers were shocked and quickly rescued him back to the house. The leader of the soldiers shouted: "Go to Yang Mansion quickly and notify

General Wang!"

General Wang is the deputy general Wang Lin, and he is also drinking in Yang Mansion!

The two soldiers rushed towards the Yang Mansion. At this time, the birthday banquet of the Yang Mansion had already ended, the guests had gone home, and the door was closed. The two soldiers knocked on the door for a long time, but no one paid attention. The two had to climb over the wall and enter.

Into the house.

When they found the west courtyard, they saw the generals lying on the floor, and deputy general Wang Lin lying on the table, seemingly drunk.

"General Wang!"

The two of them patted Wang Lin, and saw that his body tilted and he fell on his back on the chair, facing the sky. His neck was bloody and his throat had been cut.

The two soldiers were so frightened that they froze. When they looked at the ground again, they found that the ground was covered with blood, and all the generals had their throats cut.

Three thousand Song troops had already entered the city. Some soldiers kicked open the courtyard door and fired random arrows. The gambling soldiers screamed that they had been hit by arrows. Dozens of soldiers rushed in and stabbed all the surviving soldiers to death with short spears.

.

Three thousand soldiers rushed to the gate of the military camp. There were more than a dozen soldiers on duty inside the gate. Suddenly they found the Song army coming to kill them. The dozen or so soldiers were frightened and yelled, turned around and fled. The Song army soldiers shot arrows at random.

More than a dozen people all fell to the ground, and no one escaped.

Three thousand soldiers immediately rushed into the military camp and started killing.

An hour later, the fighting in the military camp ended. More than a thousand resisting soldiers were killed, and about 3,500 surrendered. Other sporadic clearings also ended at the same time, and not one of Mo Huaixian's soldiers escaped.

.

Liu Qiong immediately ordered his men to take 500 mules and donkeys to the hideout to transport 3,000 bags of kerosene back to the county town.

When he completely took control of the county, it was already the third watch. Liu Qiong selected more than 2,000 strong soldiers from the surrendered soldiers and incorporated them into the Song army, which quickly expanded the Song army to 5,000 people.

At this moment, soldiers rushed to report, and three gunpowder arrows rose from the east. Liu Qiong was shocked and immediately ordered: "Close the city gate and soldiers go up to the city to defend!"

Tang Qian stepped forward and suggested: "These surrendered troops may be a hidden danger if they stay in the city. It is better to drive them all out of the city!"

Liu Qiong thought for a while and sent someone to find Wei Ping, "You take fifty brothers and take the remaining 1,500 surrendered soldiers to the valley where they were hiding before. If they make trouble, you will directly take the soldiers with you."

Evacuate!"

Wei Ping and his fifty men left with more than a thousand surrendered soldiers.

Liu Qiong gathered more than 2,300 new soldiers and said loudly to them: "Today you have become an official member of the Western Army and under the command of King Lingwu. Our King will never treat him badly."

Soldiers, you will have income to support your family, and you will receive land. If you bring your family to Sichuan and Shaanxi, you will immediately receive a hundred acres of land, and the land will be increased every year, and you will be tax-free for life.

These are visible generous benefits, and more importantly, you also participated in the war to expel the Jurchen Tartars and restore our Han people. Your reputation is worthy of the ancestors in the ancestral hall."

Liu Qiong took a deep breath and said loudly: "A hundred years from now, your grandchildren will pat their chests and tell everyone that my grandfather was a hero who fought against the Jin Dynasty. His name is in the Anti Jin Zongzong Martyrs' Shrine. He was by no means a traitor."

Thief, your children and grandchildren will be proud of you."

Many of the soldiers shed tears. Liu Qiong raised his arms and shouted: "Drive out the Tartars and restore the Han family!"

The soldiers raised their arms and shouted: "Drive out the Tartars and restore the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Qiong nodded with satisfaction and said sternly: "Everyone return to the team, let us severely attack the invading enemy!"

In the dark night, the 20,000 puppet Qi army, under the command of Zhe Keqiu, rushed toward Shaanxi County in a mighty manner. They were still twenty miles away from Shaanxi County. Three gunpowder arrows suddenly shot out from the mountains and forests to the south, and bright red flames shot straight towards them. Sky.

Zhe Keqiu reined in his horse and looked at the three gunpowder arrows in surprise. They were obviously signal arrows and were fired at Shaanxi County.

But why should we send signal arrows to Shaanxi? The army coming from the east cannot be the enemy. Could it be that Shaanxi County has...

Thinking of this greatest possibility, Zhe Keqiu felt a little uneasy. Once Shaanxi County was occupied by the Song army, he would definitely be responsible for failing to rescue him, and Wanyan Wushu would not let him off lightly.

Zhe Keqiu immediately ordered a spies to rush to Shaanxi County to check the situation.
