Chapter 570: Making a sound in the east and attacking in the west
"I know this big defeat. This is the biggest reason why Wu Qianqiu was demoted from the general of the Longwu Army to the general of Yecheng. It is also a rare defeat in the north. This is also the biggest reason for the former Ruyang King Chahan Timur.
One of the military merits. But the records here are really vague. Who is the commander of the Tiance Army? What is his current position?! Could it be related to Wu Qianqiu?!"
Such files are too vague. It would be great if we could check the Ministry of War files now.
"Han Shanggong, you have to do me a favor!"
Yu Yanyi pulled Han Sumi to the side.
"Bachelor Yu, please tell me!"
When Yu Yanyi asked for help, Han Sumi would naturally not refuse, but would be very happy.
"The Jinyi Guards in Jinyang City are no longer trustworthy at this moment. I need your help to pass on the information and go to the Ministry of War in the capital to inquire about this file."
Han Su Mi nodded. As the leader of Li Jing Sect, although her main duty is to guard the palace, she still has this authority.
"Don't worry, Bachelor Yu, I'll do it right away!"
Yu Yanyi nodded, then turned around and walked out. It was not advisable to wait for news.
He will continue to search the files.
------------------
The Jin Yiwei arrived at Beijingmen with the arrows ordered by Yu Yanyi.
But at this time, Xiang Ming, the general guarding Beijingmen, was not at the north gate.
"Where is General Xiang?!" The leading Jin Yiwei felt that something was wrong.
"General Xiang took his people to Beidingmen to discuss matters with General Chen." Beijingmen's deputy general explained.
"But Yu Shuai has given strict orders to be careful tonight to guard against night attacks by Mohe troops. How could he leave his post without permission?!"
"This?! This is a military order that we have not received from the Grand Master!?"
Looking at the bewildered lieutenant, Jin Yiwei Baihu knew that something was wrong.
These few people are different from the people at Jinyang Jinyi Guardhouse. They are all close friends brought by Xuanwu from Fusi, Beizhen, and they know the critical situation in the city at this moment.
Just when a few people didn't know what to do, they saw someone approaching with hundreds of soldiers in the distance.
The deputy general and others immediately became alert. Could it be that this person came to open the city gate and lead the Mohe soldiers into the city?!
Just when everyone was on guard, they saw clearly the face of the person coming under the firelight.
"Vice General Zhao?!"
Everyone was stunned when they saw the person coming.
Unexpectedly, the visitor turned out to be Zhao Qian, the deputy general of Beidingmen guard Chen An.
"Vice General Zhao, you are not on duty at Beidingmen. Why did you come here at night?"
Zhao Qian suddenly came with his troops, making everyone suspicious.
But Zhao Qian opposite him also had a confused expression.
"I was ordered to come to support you!"
"ah?!"
After the two sides looked at each other, they fell into a brief silence.
"Our General Chen received a request for help from General Xiang, saying that someone wanted to attack Beijingmen, so I led five hundred elite soldiers to come to the rescue. After my general arranged the defense of Beidingmen, he would personally lead the three thousand
The source of elite soldiers. But this..."
Zhao Qian didn't say anything else, but everyone knew it.
According to Xiang Ming, Beijingmen, which was attacked by a surprise attack, was quiet and shameless at the moment, showing no signs of being attacked by a surprise attack.
"Is there no sneak attack here?!"
Zhao Qian asked awkwardly.
Everyone present felt that something was wrong.
There are 180,000 troops under Yu Yanyi's command. Excluding the troops deployed in the northern and southern counties, there are a total of 100,000 troops in Jinyang City.
One hundred thousand troops, which sounds like a lot, but they have to defend the eight gates and all the walls of Jinyang City. There are also 20,000 people who have been used by Yu Yanyi as a reserve team. In other words, the eight gates of Jinyang are now
The number of soldiers and horses is only 80,000.
Among them, Dongzhengmen and Dongzhaomen were attacked the most fiercely, with 15,000 and 20,000 people respectively.
Beijingmen and Beidingmen were not the key targets of the Mohe army, and there were not many troops stationed there.
Beijingmen has seven thousand, and Beidingmen has eight thousand.
According to Zhao Qian's statement now, there are nearly 4,000 troops coming to support Beidingmen. Wouldn't the defense of Beidingmen be weakened by nearly half?!
The generals immediately realized that the so-called attack on Beijingmen was just a cover to mobilize the troops from Beidingmen, leaving Beidingmen's defense power empty.
"..."
"Not good! Beidingmen is in danger! We need help!"
The deputy general in charge of Beijingmen also wanted to understand the situation. Just when everyone was shocked and suspicious, suddenly a shocking cry of death came from the direction of Beidingmen.
"I will leave 3,000 troops to protect the safety of Beijing Gate. Vice General Zhao, I will lend you the remaining 4,000 troops to ensure that Beiding Gate is not lost."
Although Beijingmen's deputy general knew that his own troops were weak, he still took the initiative and lent four thousand troops to Zhao Qian.
Now is not the time to fight alone. Once Beiding Gate is lost, everyone will have to finish.
Hundreds of Jin Yiwei guards also stood up immediately and said, "Everyone, please go and report to the Lord and Xuanwu Commander immediately!"
----------
Beidingmen.
Xiang Ming was a little irritable. He was invited here by Chen An, the guard of Beiding Gate, but after arriving, he did not see Chen An.
He has a close friendship with Chen An, and the two sides often refer to each other's defense recently. In his spare time, he will come to Beidingmen to learn Chen An's city defense strategies; the same goes for Chen An.
But this is the first time I have waited for such a long time.
At first, Xiang Ming could wait because the sergeant at Beidingmen prepared a table of delicious food for him and asked him to wait while Chen An was counting the ordnance.
Xiang Ming didn't care either. Who hasn't been busy with military affairs?!
But now that all the dishes on the table have been eaten, Chen An, the leader of the Beiding Sect, is still not seen, which makes Xiang Ming feel anxious.
"Where on earth did your general go?!"
The soldier on the side also looked embarrassed. Chen An told him to entertain Xiang Ming with food and wine first, and he would come later.
"General Xiang, I really don't know! My general just asked me to entertain you, and he will be back soon."
"you……"
Just after Xiang Ming wanted to scold the soldier, a loud noise interrupted his scolding.
"Catapult!? It's a sneak attack by the Mohe people!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xiang Ming immediately rushed from the residence under the city tower to the city wall.
Then, a heavy horn sound sounded, as if to prove Xiang Ming's guess.
"Rocket!"
The soldiers on duty on the city wall also immediately launched a counterattack, firing hundreds of rockets into the sky. Under the firelight of the rockets, one could vaguely see the densely packed Mohe soldiers below like a tide.
----------------------------
At this time, Beijingmen's defense seemed a little lax.
Originally, there were 7,000 troops stationed here, but Zhao Qian took away 4,000 troops, leaving 3,000 troops guarding Beijingmen, which seemed to be insufficient manpower.
At the beginning, the soldiers at Beijingmen were still a little nervous, and there were constant shouts of killing coming from the direction of Beidingmen.
The soldiers at Beijingmen were worried that Beidingmen would also be attacked.
But as time goes by, everyone’s worries gradually ease!
Judging from Mohe's posture, it was obvious that he wanted to gather his forces to attack Beidingmen. In this way, Beijingmen would be safer.
Just when everyone was relaxing, they noticed someone approaching in the darkness.
"who!"
"Don't be nervous, it's me!" A familiar voice came, causing the guard guard to immediately lower his guard.
It turned out that... just halfway through speaking, the soldiers guarding the gate were attacked by the people brought by this person.
All are fatal with one knife.
The torch that fell to the ground revealed this person's true face.
The guards under the city tower heard the noise under the city gate and asked.
"What happened!?"
"Nothing?! I accidentally tripped."
The soldiers on the tower immediately yelled angrily, "Be careful, don't be surprised, you may make you sick!"
…
-----------------------
Xiang Ming was on the tower of Beiding Gate, looking at the Mohe soldiers coming like a tide with a suspicious look on his face.
Although the Mohe people shouted loudly to kill them, they still couldn't get close to the city wall for a long time. The thunder was loud and the raindrops were light.
This situation makes Xiang Ming very confused. Is this a feint attack?
But there was no movement from other directions of the city gate. What was the purpose of this Mohe man?!
Just when Xiang Ming was confused, he suddenly saw the words Beidingmen on the tower.
He is the chief general of Beijingmen, but now he appears at Beidingmen, so it is obvious where the Mohe people's main attack direction is.
"He immediately flew down from the tower, mounted a fast horse, and rushed towards Beijingmen."
Just as Xiang Ming was flying his horse, he suddenly encountered a large group of soldiers and horses rushing towards this place from the direction of Beijingmen.
The leader was none other than Zhao Qian.
"General Xiang!"
Zhao Qian's hand was already on the handle of the knife.
Seeing the large group of soldiers and horses, Xiang Ming already understood that this was a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
"It's too late to tell you the tricks of the Mohe people. Return to Beijingmen immediately to help!"
Zhao Qian originally wanted to capture Xiang Ming, but at the moment, his expression didn't look like he was faking it, and his father, Xiang Chong, was famous in the northern border.
Zhao Qian decided to believe Xiang Ming for once!
"Turn around and support Beijingmen!"
-----------------------------------------------
"What?!"
When Yu Yanyi heard the reward from the Hundreds of Jin Yiwei, he was slightly angry. After Xiang Ming was a hero in the founding of the country, his father, Pengcheng Bo Xiang Chong, was the pioneer general of King Kaiping. He was brave and loyal.
Although the emperor cut off the title of the Xiang family, this was not a heavy punishment, but an extrajudicial mercy.
Xiang Ming formed a clique for personal gain, controlled water transportation, and evaded taxes. He was punished for several crimes and was punished by beheading according to law. His family members were exiled for three thousand miles.
However, Emperor Zhou, in recognition of his father's military exploits, spared no effort and only cut off his title, took back his mansion, and allowed him to serve in the Longwu Army.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Ming would betray Zhou Dynasty now, and his crime was unforgivable.
Just when Yu Yanyi was angry, the sound of horns and shouts of death came from the direction of Beidingmen.
"No, the Mohe people are attacking the city. You should immediately send an order to the general to mobilize five thousand reserve troops to go to Beidingmen to assist in the defense."
All of a sudden, the army in the city was on the move.
After giving the order, Yu Yanyi sat in front of the desk and looked at the Jinyang city defense map on the table. Everything about tonight appeared in Yu Yanyi's mind like a revolving lantern.
Although he is not good at reasoning and solving cases, everything tonight is weird.
Wu Qianqiu?! Tiance Army?! Xiang Ming?!
"Chen An! He is from the Tiance Army." Yu Yanyi immediately stood up and ordered, "Deploy another five thousand troops and horses to Beijingmen. At the same time, Chen An, the general of Beidingmen, came to see me."
This matter is not as simple as they see.
…
----------
As the torches of the guarding soldiers fell, the people who attacked and killed the soldiers guarding Beijingmen also revealed their true colors in the light of the fire.
It was Chen An, the guard of Beidingmen.
He and Xiang Ming had a close friendship. They often exchanged city defense strategies with each other and often came to Beijingmen. Because of this, Chen An was able to approach and kill them easily.
"Hurry up and go to the place where the brothers are ambushing, light five signal arrows. Place them side by side. I will open the city gate here to welcome the Mohe people into the city."
Chen An led his men to drag the body of the gatekeeper to the shadows, and immediately gave orders to his confidants.
"Yes!" Two of them immediately ran towards a house in the distance. After a moment, five signal arrows shot into the sky side by side.
While Chen An was anxiously waiting for the Mohe people to advance, a voice startled him.
"Huh?! Uncle Chen, why are you here?!" Xiang Ming's eldest son, Xiang Shoucheng, spoke.
This guy also appeared in the grain draft, but unfortunately, he became Yang Qingyuan's background.
Seeing Xiang Shoucheng suddenly appearing, Chen An was a little nervous.
"Nephew Xiang Xian, weren't you on duty during the day today? Why didn't you go take a good rest?"
Chen An took the opportunity to make a rough count while he was talking. Xiang Shoucheng had brought eight people with him. He decided to deal with them directly, so he winked at his confidant. He stepped forward to chat with Chen An.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xiang Shoucheng pursed his lips and said, "Uncle Chen, don't mention it! I originally wanted to have a good sleep and rest, but then I heard a shout from the direction of Beidingmen.
The sound of killing was so loud that I was worried, so I came to take a look!"
Having said this, Xiang Shoucheng was stunned for a moment.
"Uncle Chen, you are not the chief general of Beiding Gate. Why are you here at this time... hmm? Is this the smell of blood?!" Xiang Shoucheng suddenly smelled the smell of blood, and the moment Chen An turned his head, he saw
Chen An's pupils suddenly shrank due to the blood spatter on his face.
"Take action!" Chen An ordered to take action as soon as Xiang Shoucheng noticed something was wrong. He also drew his sword and slashed at Xiang Shoucheng.
Xiang Shoucheng didn't react for a while, but fortunately, his martial arts skills were still superior to Chen An's, and he was also known for his dexterity and agility. When Chen An struck with a sword, he pulled out half of the long sword at his waist and blocked the sword.
, the whole person took advantage of the force and took five steps back.
However, the people he brought did not have the same reaction and speed as him. The moment Chen An said to take action, they were attacked and killed by Chen An's subordinates who had got close to them.
When Chen An saw Xiang Shoucheng retreating, he immediately stepped forward to attack. He knew that if he failed to seize the opportunity and Xiang Shoucheng gained a foothold, he might not be able to withstand fifty moves under Xiang Shoucheng's sword.
As soon as Xiang Shoucheng jumped back, he was entangled by Chen An who was pressing forward. He had to parry Chen An's Yan Ling Dao again.
"What happened?!"
The soldiers on the tower heard the movement and immediately asked down.
But the only answer he received was the sound of swords blocking each other.
"I'll hold him up! You open the city gate and let the Mohe soldiers and horses enter the city!" Chen An kept using his sword to suppress Xiang Shoucheng and not give him a chance to counterattack. At the same time, he asked the soldiers who had already dealt with Xiang Shoucheng's men to open the city gate.
"kill!"
"kill!!!"
Outside the originally silent Beijingmen, a huge cry of killing suddenly rang out. In the darkness, the earth trembled slightly, and a large group of cavalry were heading towards the city gate of Beijingmen!
