Early the next morning, without any delay, Hu Sanniang led his troops towards Jinning.
Jinning City is larger than Zhaode City. Unlike Zhaode City, Zhaode City belongs to Tian Hu's "inland" city, so its defense is so lax. Jinning City's defense is relatively stronger.
.
The Liangshan army also arrived at night, but the gates of Jinning City were tightly closed, and soldiers patrolling could still be seen on the city walls.
"Colonel Hu, what should we do now? Attack the city immediately?" Yang Xiong said.
"Our soldiers have long been exhausted after a day of trekking. Let the soldiers rest first. Tomorrow morning, we will look for opportunities to attack the city." Hu Sanniang said.
Hu Sanniang is actually observing the patrolling soldiers on the city wall. Although these soldiers are patrolling, they seem to be quite slack. It seems that although the defense of Jinning City is relatively stronger, it is still too far behind and should be conquered in one fell swoop.
Chance.
Yang Xiong immediately carried out Hu Sanniang's order and led the soldiers to find a place to rest. Soon after, they found an abandoned village more than ten miles away with many dilapidated houses, so the army rested here.
The soldiers had all fallen asleep, and Yang Xiong was patrolling with a few soldiers to check the situation in the camp. When he saw that everything was normal, he returned to the room and prepared to rest.
This room is very dilapidated and can only block the cold wind outside.
When Yang Xiong came in, there was already a person in the room. This person was a little thin and looked very shrewd. He yawned and said, "Brother is back?"
This person is Yang Xiong's sworn brother Shi Xiu. Shi Xiu came out with Yang Xiong to inquire about the news. But now the march is so fast and the city gate is tightly closed. He can't get in, and nothing unusual can be found outside.
place, so I returned here.
There are still many people in the Intelligence Department paying attention to the situation in Jinning City. If there is any abnormality, they will notify him immediately, and he will notify Hu Sanniang.
"Brother, go to bed quickly." Yang Xiong said.
Everyone was exhausted from this day's march, and Yang Xiong couldn't stand it anymore.
"Brother, I have something to say to you." Shi Xiu suddenly stood up and said.
"What are you talking about?" Yang Xiong sat down and leaned against the wall, saying.
"Brother, what do you think of Miss Hu?" Shi Xiudao.
"Miss Hu? Why do you ask this? She is very beautiful, much more beautiful than the original Pan Qiaoyun. She is just beautiful, but the important thing is that she is proficient in the art of war and is good at using soldiers. She is stronger than the men of my generation. I
I admire him very much." At the end of the sentence, Yang Xiong's eyes sparkled.
The "Pan Qiaoyun" he mentioned was his ex-wife, who was discovered by Shi Xiu for committing adultery. In the end, he and Shi Xiu teamed up to kill Pan Qiaoyun, and had to live in the rivers and lakes. Finally, they met Shi Qian on the road and came to Liangshanbo together.
Seeing Yang Xiong's eyes shining, Shi Xiu couldn't help but frown. He had long noticed that Yang Xiong looked at Hu Sanniang differently. There was something he wanted to say to Yang Xiong, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
"Brother, what are you going to say? If it's okay, I'll go to sleep." Yang Xiong felt that he couldn't bring himself to move at this moment. He was so sleepy that he couldn't help but say.
"Brother, do you... like Miss Hu?" Shi Xiu said.
"What?" Yang Xiong was taken aback and said, "Brother, don't talk nonsense."
Shi Xiudao: "Brother, I'm not talking nonsense. I see that you really like Miss Hu. You should understand the relationship between Miss Hu and the Governor. There are some things that not only cannot be done, but cannot even be thought about."
Yang Xiong frowned and said: "Brother, I just admire Miss Hu. Such a woman has abilities that men don't have, which makes me convinced. I really have no other thoughts about her. If you insist
Let me tell you the truth. After Pan Qiaoyun died, I was no longer interested in women. Miss Hu, I treat her as a man."
Shi Xiu was stunned for a moment, dumbfounded. He didn't know whether what Yang Xiong said was true or false, but he hoped it was true.
The two lay down and soon fell asleep.
All the soldiers in the whole village were exhausted and slept very hard that night.
The next day, before dawn, everyone was called up. Hu Sanniang was already making plans to attack the city.
****
When the red sun appeared in the sky, the gate of Jinning City opened, and a dozen soldiers from Tian Hu appeared at the gate.
Jinning City didn't get the news that Zhaode City had been captured at all, and still thought everything was normal. They were originally defending Puzhou City in the south, but now Tian Hu led an army of 70,000 to Puzhou City, so Puzhou City was completely destroyed.
It is impossible to counterattack Jinning at this time.
From top to bottom in Jinning, no one was wary at all.
Each of these dozen soldiers looked languid, breathing heavily. The weather was too cold. Although the snow had stopped, the temperature was even lower.
At this time, dozens of people suddenly came from a distance. Some of these people were pushing carts, some were carrying burdens, and some were carrying cages, looking like they were in a hurry.
They came straight towards the city gate. As soon as they arrived at the gate, they were immediately blocked by these soldiers. One soldier said arrogantly: "What are you holding in your hands? Do you want to enter the city if you don't respect grandpa?"
As he spoke, he sneered and stared at the people opposite. The people opposite nodded and bowed, reaching out to take things from the car very quickly.
I thought that what these people took out were filial objects, but who knew that what they took out turned out to be weapons. The soldier who just spoke was shocked, and just as he was about to shout, a big knife fell from the sky and violently chopped him into two pieces.
Half of the time, blood was sprinkled all over the earth.
"Brothers, rush!" Yang Xiong shouted and rushed inside with dozens of brothers.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The remaining soldiers were shocked and were already running towards the back frantically, trying to report the news.
It's a pity that these gatekeepers were old and weak soldiers who were sent to this place because they were incompetent. They all fell into a pool of blood before they could run a few steps.
Yang Xiong led the Liangshan soldiers and ran madly towards the inside. While Yang Xiong and others were running towards it, dense figures appeared in the distance, with thousands of Liangshan soldiers also running towards this side.
On the city wall, the patrolling defenders felt their scalps numb when they saw so many enemies, and they hurriedly distributed enemy attack notices.
Even though Jinning City's defenses were lax, there were still hundreds of defenders running towards the city gate, trying to close the city gate.
"We must resist at all costs!" Yang Xiong roared angrily. The sword in his hand danced, and the enemy's flesh and blood was everywhere, but the people around Yang Xiong were also dying.
Hu Sanniang was in the distance, personally commanding the battle, and she could clearly see the scene inside the city gate. Her heart was bleeding, the war was cruel, not only would many enemies fall, but her comrades would also fall. This
When the war is over, I don’t know how many people will die.
Her use of troops this time was also very cruel. She disguised dozens of the best soldiers in the army as ordinary people and used their lives to clear a bloody path for the rest of the soldiers.
This time, these dozens of people will definitely suffer heavy casualties, but this can only be done. These dozens of casualties can be exchanged for the safe entry of large troops. This is much less expensive than attacking the city, and the total number of people who died will also be
Much less. Using the minimum cost to obtain the maximum results is the limit of what she can achieve.
"Kill! Kill!" Yang Xiong didn't know how many people he had chopped down. Fighting on the battlefield was completely different from fighting in rivers and lakes. Skills were no longer very important. What was important was strength and courage. His sword had been curled and pointed forward.
Smash it, then pick up a long knife from the ground and continue slashing forward.
"Soldiers from Liangshan, come quickly... I can't hold on any longer." Yang Xiong thought to himself.
Even though he was a well-known sick man in the world, he couldn't hold on to such a high-intensity battle. In order to clear the way for the army, all the others died, and now he was the only one left.
Seeing that the enemy was about to close the city gate, at this moment, dense footsteps sounded, and Liangshan's army finally rushed to the city gate.
"Kill!" A loud shouting of death rang out, and the army rushed towards the defenders like a rolling torrent.
Yang Xiong felt dizzy. At this time, a person suddenly rushed over and helped him. Yang Xiong looked back and saw that it was Shi Xiu. A smile appeared on his lips and he said: "The mission is completed."
After saying this, Yang Xiong fainted and fell into Shi Xiu's arms. Shi Xiu was shocked and hurriedly carried Yang Xiong to a safe place. She was relieved when she realized that he was just overtired.
Liangshan's army slaughtered all the defenders at the city gate as quickly as possible, then used brigades as units to seize each city gate, and finally used battalions as units to cleanse the remaining enemies in the city.
There were screams everywhere in Jinning City, and the smell of blood filled the entire Jinning City. The ground was dyed red with blood, and the people of Jinning City were trembling in fear. They were hiding at home, some in cupboards, and some under the bed.
, and some are in secretly dug cellars. They have experienced such things before. When Tian Hu rebelled, there was a massacre. Now they don’t know who has entered this Jinning City again and replaced
Tian Hu.
It took a full two hours for Jinning City to regain its calm, the screams disappeared, and the bloody smell began to fade.
"Colonel Hu, are we going to Gaizhou City now?" Yang Xiong dragged his tired body to the temporary headquarters and said.
"No, let the soldiers rest for a while. We captured Zhaode and Jinning. Even if we were very fast, the news should have been received by Gaizhou City. Besides, the soldiers have been running around and fighting for many days.
, let them rest for a while before leaving tomorrow. Brigadier Yang, you also have a good rest." Hu Sanniang said.
"Okay, then let's go to Gaizhou City tomorrow." Yang Xiong said.
He was really tired. When he captured the city gate today, he almost exhausted all his strength. In the end, he relied on his tenacious will to persevere. With his strength, he actually fainted at that time, which can be seen from this.
Although the remaining soldiers in Liangshan stayed in the deserted village for one night last night, the deserted village was too dilapidated and many houses could not even block the wind. Moreover, they were afraid of being discovered by the Jinning defenders and did not dare to light a fire to cook.
I can continue to eat fried noodles and eat white snow.
The soldiers were also exhausted and needed to rest before they could move on and capture Gaizhou City.
