Fortunately, the officers in Jiaocheng were not good enough, but the defenders were well-trained and brave because they had grown up and were stationed at the border.
At the beginning of Haishi, three thousand soldiers and horses were assembled. Jian Chuan immediately asked Xu Huaiyuan to order food to be made. After eating, it was the end of Haishi.
During this period, the followers sent by Jian Chuan to follow them came back one after another. Although they did not find out where the White Lotus Sect's troops were hiding, they did capture a spy, and he had already released a carrier pigeon.
However, under interrogation, it was revealed that there was no one else in the city who was a spy of the White Lotus Sect, so this person would have no effect on Jian Chuan.
At the end of Haishi, the forward scouts sent reported that tens of thousands of people were rushing to attack. If Jianchuan knew this, he must have learned that the matter had been exposed, so he changed the sneak attack into a forced attack. Since the attack was forced, the role of spies was minimal.
However, Jian Chuan was confused. Since ancient times, to attack a city, you have to outnumber the enemy by ten times to have an absolute chance of victory. It seems that the leader of the White Lotus does not even have this bit of common sense, so why would he do it knowing that he cannot do it?
Although he had this doubt, Jian Chuan was pressed for time and could not help but think too much, so he asked Xu Huaiyuan forcefully: "The enemy is approaching, how does the general plan to respond to the enemy?"
Jian Chuan had already thought that no matter what Xu Huaiyuan said, he would refute it, and then find a way to force him out of the city to fight and defeat the enemy on the way.
This path is the safest in Jian Chuan's opinion.
First, the spies in the army have not yet been found. If we occupy the city and defend it, there is a risk that the city gate will be stolen. Once the enemy enters the city, even if they can be driven back in the end, the losses to the people in the city will be immeasurable.
Secondly, even if the White Lotus Sect has bewitched ten thousand people, it is just a group of rabble without any training. Jian Chuan believes that the military quality of the border army will be able to defeat them in one blow. In this case, although there will be casualties, it will definitely be better than
The casualties of rushing into the city and engaging in street fighting are much smaller.
Therefore, Jian Chuan's plan was to force Xu Huaiyuan out of the city to fight even if he used his official position to force him.
Unexpectedly, all these calculations were in vain, and Xu Huaiyuan said firmly: "Master Jian, don't worry, it's just a mob of tens of thousands. I have three thousand brave men in Jiaocheng, and they will be defeated in one blow. Master Jian
Later, I will come back when I go."
After saying that, he turned around and went to organize the army. The city gate immediately opened and three thousand soldiers and horses rushed out like a torrent.
In this case, Jian Chuan was a little dumbfounded. He never expected that things would go so smoothly. When he thought about it, he just had to wait quietly for the news of the victory. But just in case, Jian Chuan still climbed up the city wall and stood far away.
Looking forward to the soldiers disappearing into the darkness.
But when the soldiers finally disappeared from sight, Jian Chuan's heart suddenly pounded.
Is it going too smoothly? Jian Chuan thought so. Will other changes occur? Jian Chuan hopes not, but Murphy's Law says that whatever you fear most will happen with a high probability.
In the darkness, Jian Chuan's eyes narrowed, and there seemed to be the sound of horse hooves in his ears. It was dull, like an hallucination, and gradually became noisy, like war drums.
Beside him, Qi Yinzhang shouted: "Not good."
Almost at the same time, Jian Chuan shouted: "Prepare for war."
However, it was already too late. The sound of swords and soldiers clashing suddenly sounded, a fire broke out at the city gate, and a hand-to-hand confrontation suddenly took place.
Wrong, terribly wrong, and ultimately careless.
Who says that spies can only be in the military, but can't sneak in secretly and wait for opportunities?
Who said that Xixia or Daliao couldn't support the White Lotus Sect if they lacked food and grass? Could it be that they couldn't use gold and silver to open roads? There are plenty of these things.
Who said that the people seduced by the White Lotus Sect are the main force in attacking the city? Can't they be used as bait?
Xu Huaiyuan took away all the 3,000 border troops, leaving only ordinary government officials with less than a hundred people. Now, even important tasks such as guarding the city gates are done by government officials. You can imagine how empty Jiaocheng is.
.
A skilled woman cannot make a living without rice. Both Jian Chuan and Qi Yinzhang are very smart people and can judge the situation. Naturally, they know very well that at the moment, the only way to escape is to escape.
However, the strange thing is that neither Jian Chuan nor Qi Yinzhang chose to take this path.
Qi Yinzhang said calmly: "If the cavalry is attacking, there will be no siege equipment. There is still a slim chance of retaking the city gate before the enemy arrives."
The seven-star sword was drawn from his sleeve, and Jian Chuan strode away. Behind him, his followers drew their swords, and they all followed closely.
Qi Yinzhang looked into the darkness and counted silently in his heart.
When you get down to the city wall, you will see all the enemies in front of you, you just have to kill them.
Jian Chuan's special move was to kill one thousand enemies and damage eight hundred, so he stabbed the enemy's heart with one knife, but he also received a cut on his left abdomen. Fortunately, it was just a superficial wound.
Then, the next one.
The feeling of killing people is not good. Strictly speaking, this is Jian Chuan's first time to kill someone. Back in the ring, Liang Yihang was seriously injured by Jian Chuan and was on the verge of death. In the end, he was beheaded instead of died by Jian Chuan's hands.
But at this moment, the feeling of life passing by in front of his eyes was real, but Jian Chuan had no energy to experience it carefully. His eyes were stained with blood, and the blood stains between his fingers were sticky. He could only fight to death.
Ahead, the city gate has been opened. In the distance, the cavalry has appeared in sight. In front of them, dozens of fierce bandits are charging fiercely.
Inside half a stick of incense, kill all the tough bandits and close the city gate, only then can there be a chance of survival.
Behind him, the subordinates pursed their lips and said nothing, but dared to use their ears.
One life after another passed away in front of his eyes, and when Jian Chuan's body had ten more scars, he finally put his hand on the city gate. A hundred steps away, there was an overwhelming crowd of cavalry.
A rain of arrows came, most of them hit the city gate, and a small part shot in through the gap of the city gate.
Jian Chuan knocked away a member of the crowd, received an arrow on his left shoulder, and shouted to himself: "Close the city gate."
At the critical moment, the city gate closed.
Jian Chuan's body was covered in blood. He turned around and looked around. Fortunately, everyone was there.
He shouted: "Can you still fight?"
"able."
When we arrived at the top of the city, we saw the cavalry dismounting below the city, numbering over a thousand.
First came the arrow rain, which came in waves. Jian Chuan and others sat against the wall and took a short rest.
The rain of arrows stopped, and the ropes were thrown up to the top of the city. Some of them were caught, and some were not. There were too many, and more than thirty people couldn't cut them in such a hurry.
The enemy boarded the city, and the bloody battle continued. People kept falling. There were enemies and some of our own people. We couldn't care less. Let's kill and fight. It was just death.
I don’t know how long it took, but I suddenly heard the movement below the city. I leaned against the city and looked around. I saw more than a hundred enemy troops rushing into the grass and thorns. Dozens more people climbed up with the help of ropes thrown by the enemy troops to the top of the city. The leader unexpectedly
It was Lao Huang, who rushed to Jian Chuan's side and asked urgently: "Sir, are you okay?"
Jian Chuan laughed wildly and shouted: "Kill the enemy."
"promise."
Not only Lao Huang, but also the grassy people who climbed up the city roared.
With the addition of this new force, the situation on the city wall immediately reversed, and it was cleared within a moment. However, the situation below the city became even more anxious.
Although Jianghu people are highly skilled in individual martial arts, they do not have the quality to fight in a coordinated manner. Therefore, when the enemy troops stabilize their position, the next step is massacre.
Now, the massacre has begun.
Jian Chuan saw clearly and made a decisive decision, shouting: "Everyone, please follow me out of the city and kill the enemy leader. His army will be defeated."
"promise."
"promise."
"promise."
…
The city gate that had been closed after a narrow escape opened again, and dozens of horses galloped out, piercing into the enemy like a sharp arrow.
All Jian Chuan could do was to keep his head in the right direction and charge forward fiercely. Lao Huang was closely guarding him, resisting the open and secret arrows coming from all directions for Jian Chuan. Occasionally he was negligent, and others risked their lives.
In front, there was a general in golden armor, as towering as a mountain. Jian Chuan pointed at him and shouted: "Old Huang, leave me alone. Kill him. If he doesn't die, we will all die."
At this moment, Lao Huang didn't have the slightest hesitation, he immediately stepped out from the crowd and headed straight for the golden armored general.
This was the first time Jian Chuan saw Lao Huang fighting with a gun. At this moment, Lao Huang made Jian Chuan involuntarily think of a man full of courage, Changshan Zhao Zilong.
With a gun in his hand, all the troops seemed to be in an uninhabited territory, with no enemy at all. The golden-armored general was forced by Lao Huang's momentum, and finally became discouraged and panicked. However, it was too late. Lao Huang
Huang once told Jian Chuan that if you practice your spear to the extreme, you will be invincible within ten feet and kill people like butchering pigs and dogs.
When the golden-armored general tried to escape, he was already within ten feet, so he couldn't escape. The spear pierced his back and lifted him into the sky.
Jian Chuan roared: "The leader of the thieves will be killed, but those who surrender will not be killed."
Everyone agreed: "The leader of the thief will be killed, but the one who surrenders will not be killed."
