retaliate

Chapter 908 Lin'an City, capture Lu Qiang alive
"quick!"

Chen Shui urged his subordinates while galloping his horse.

Break the city and destroy Taiping, the pearl of northern Xinjiang.

This is the emperor's wish.

Only in this way can the morale of Northern Xinjiang be hit hard and Lin Ya's arrogance can be suppressed.

"Stable!"

Kong Jia shouted, "No!"

Chen Shui raised his head and narrowed his eyes.

There are many figures at the gate of the city, and they can be vaguely seen fighting.

"quick!"

Why are the defenders on guard?

"Jiang He, that bastard!" Chen Shui scolded, "He must have alarmed the defenders!"

Kong Jia gritted his teeth and said, "Go back and kill him!"

"quick!"

Chen Shui shouted: "The defenders have not assembled, this is an opportunity."

"This is the place where Yang Gou started. If you break it, I will bring you back to Ningxing in triumph. Your Majesty will reward you..."

Everyone was beating the horses with whips and even the back of their knives.

The war horse neighed in pain and continued to accelerate.

Da da da!
They kept approaching the city gate.

"Chance!"

Chen Shui couldn't help being ecstatic when he saw that although there were quite a few defenders in the city gate, there were still dozens of fierce soldiers on his side standing there.

"Broken the city!"

He raised his long knife and roared.

"Broken the city!"

More than two thousand people were cheering.

After the destruction of the city came massacre, followed by looting and destruction.

There will be a generous reward when you return...

A pair of eyes were bloodshot.

Like a beast.

"Stable!"

Someone screamed.

An ominous feeling made Chen Shui raise his gaze.

Rows of defenders rushed to the top of the city.

They drew their bows and arrows, and let go of their hands towards the front.

In the rain of arrows, the last dozens of soldiers at the city gate suddenly shouted.

He turned around and ran away.

These are brave soldiers.

But at this moment they turned around and ran away.

why?
Dense crossbow arrows flew out from the city gate, and the fleeing warriors fell to the ground one after another.

Even the monks had to kneel in front of the crossbow array, not to mention these fierce soldiers.

The city gate was not closed.

After the dozens of soldiers fell down, their vision became clear.

"Rush in!"

Chen Shui shouted.

He must rush!
Even in the face of mountains of swords and seas of fire, you have to rush.

Otherwise, what awaits him back in Ningxing will be exile or even death.

"Xiangwen, enemy army!" Someone shouted, the voice panicked.

After teams of defenders rushed to the city gate, rows of rejecting horses were lined up.

rear……

Teams of crossbowmen and archers were gathering.

The crossbow was raised flat, and behind him, spearmen were gathering.

Several ballistas were pushed over.

Chen Shui narrowed his eyes.

"Fire arrows!"

The dense rain of arrows overwhelmed him, and his subordinates...

……

At a place more than ten miles away from Lin'an City, Sanqianqi had just finished eating dry food.

Lieutenant General He Lin clapped his hands, and the cake crumbs flew, "This cake is completely dry, a little moldy."

Jiang He swallowed the last mouthful of jerky, staring into the distance like a falcon, "Next meal, Lin'an!"

He Lin picked up the water bag and took a sip of cold water, "Chen Shui's raid on Taiping seems the easiest, but Taiping has the old camp of Yang Xuanqi's family, the death camp. With those people, even if he can break into the city, there will be no casualties." Not less."

He put down the water bag, "Lin'an is the seat of Chenzhou, and trade routes have been opened, and Lin'an has not been attacked for many years, so its vigilance is not as good as Taiping, which has been breached many times. As long as you can approach before the Lin'an defenders are alerted The city gate, the event is settled."

Jiang He squinted. They were walking on a steep mountain road, and their nerves were extremely tense along the way, especially for him, the general.

Even after resting in the mountains, he still feels exhausted like a tidal wave when he relaxes now.

"The attack on Lin'an and Taiping this time is not just for revenge, but also for another purpose."

Jiang He covered his mouth and yawned, "The relationship between Yang Xuan and Chang'an is like fire and water, and in Chang'an, Li Mi and others are trying to suppress him.

However, Yang Xuanwei suppressed Tanzhou and Neizhou, and his momentum became so strong that Chang'an's suppression was not justified, and his words were not smooth.

If the raid is successful, it will be a disastrous defeat for Northern Xinjiang that has not been encountered in many years. "

"Huang Chunhui has been in charge of Northern Xinjiang for many years, and he has never lost the city." He Lin understood, "Taking Lin'an will shake up Northern Xinjiang, and Chang'an will also have a reason to attack Yang Xuan."

"Lin'an was defeated, this is Yang Gou's fault." Jiang He said with a smile: "Li Mi took advantage of the situation, who in northern Xinjiang would dare to defend Yang Xuan? Mr. Xianggong said that Li Mi is good at power and tactics, and he will definitely do it if he gets this opportunity. Do your best to take down Yang Xuan."

He Lin also laughed, "Go away, Yang Xuan, who can control the northern border? No matter who it is, they can't stop my Daliao's rolling cavalry!"

"Zhang Chumao came here before, but this person has great ambition and lack of talent. When the army encountered our army's forward, it retreated after a small setback. It was a joke. This person is nothing to worry about."

Jiang He analyzed: "As for Liu Qing, this person has a close relationship with Yang Xuan, if Chang'an can seize power, he will definitely deal with this person.

Going down, Song Zhen couldn't escape the cleaning...

The civil servant is gone.The generals, Jiang Cunzhong and others were Huang Chunhui's direct descendants at the beginning, but now they are closely following Yang Xuan, and they cannot escape death. "

After being cleaned, northern Xinjiang will be devastated.

"That's the opportunity for Daliao. Once Daliao's iron cavalry goes south, who can resist?" He Lin's face was full of red, "When the time comes, Xianggong will look for an opportunity to lead the army south, break through the northern border, and the soldiers will approach Guanzhong, and the world will be shocked. Return to Ningxing with momentum. , Abolishing that fat pig is as easy as pie!"

Jiang He smiled, "There are quite a few defenders in Lin'an City, so make a surprise attack later, be sure to hurry up and seize the city gate first, where's the fire oil?"

"Most of them are there," He Lin said.

"The first thing we do when we enter the city is not to kill people, but to chase them away, or set fire to them!" Jiang He said, "With the power of the fire, let's rush to kill again, even if there are tens of thousands of troops in the city, we will not be afraid."

What maintains the combat effectiveness of the army is not the individual force value, but discipline.

Under the chaos, the defenders in the city will inevitably be in chaos, and the subsequent surprise attack will not be stopped even if the gods come down to earth.

In history, those who were able to win with few enemies and many relied on disrupting the enemy's army!
He Lin said: "Lu Qiang is good at literary matters, but weaker than military matters. If he is attacked suddenly, he will definitely panic. After entering the city, he should disperse and rush to kill and ignite everywhere..."

Jiang He nodded, "That's what the old man thinks."

He got up, "Go and see."

The subordinates with less than three thousand are standing beside their horses at this moment.

Jiang He checked the kerosene and the condition of the men and horses.

"good."

He goes to the end.

More than [-] soldiers wearing Tang army armor lined up.

This is his trump card.

Lin Ya hid Tang Jun armor for a long time, and gave it to him for the success of this surprise attack.

"Remember, once you succeed, some will go in and set fire, while some will guard the city gate, waiting for the old man to lead the army to arrive."

"Leader!"

"set off!"

More than two hundred rode on horses.

Jiang He and others followed closely behind.

"almost."

When he saw a black spot in the distance, Jiang He ordered people to dismount.

More than two hundred 'Tang Jun' set off.

They seemed a little lazy all the way to the outside of the city.

"Hey! Pull away!"

A sergeant shouted in Tang dialect.

"Got it."

The sergeant guarding the city responded lazily.

Suddenly, a sergeant's body shook.

"Not so many of our scouts went out today!"

The frequency and density of scout patrols are related to the current situation. Lin'an has not encountered the enemy for a long time, and there are fewer scout patrols.

As for the scouts out today, there are only more than [-] scouts.

The point is, the more than [-] riders were divided into six teams to go on tour.

And here are more than two hundred riders...

Even if it is a return, it is impossible for different scouts to gather together because of the distance!
"The number is wrong!"

The sergeant raised his eyes, looked at those 'Tang Jun', suddenly changed his face, and shouted:
"Not our people!"

call out!
An arrow sealed his throat, and more than two hundred riders broke out.

"Kill!"

The defenders at the city gate were stunned, and someone subconsciously shouted: "Enemy attack!"

Among the more than two hundred riders, someone sounded the horn.

Oh oh oh!
Dangdang Dangdang!
At the same time, the alarm bell at the top of the city rang, and the soldiers gathered in a panic.

"Archer!"

"Go to the city for reinforcements!"

Lu Qiang, who was dealing with political affairs in the state, raised his head suddenly, "Who sounded the alarm?"

Then he jumped up abruptly.

"Enemy attack!"

There were screams outside.

Lu Qiang shouted: "Reinforcement!"

As he shouted, he untied the horizontal knife from the wall, and then rushed out.

The Chenzhou Sima at this moment is Du Hui who wanted to be the father-in-law of Yang Xuan at the beginning. Unlike Lu Qiang who has been assisting the governor, Du Hui faced the Beiliao head-on back then and experienced no less than Lu Qiang.

"The manpower of the state is assembled!"

Du Hui shouted, "Don't panic, let people gather troops and send reinforcements one after another, don't be scattered!"

Once the army is scattered, it will be scattered and vulnerable.

Lu Qiang rushed to the street outside and saw those people running towards the city in a panic.Someone fell down and got up with hands and feet, crying while calling the names of their loved ones.

Chaos!

Chaos!

A small official rushed over and shouted: "Your Majesty, hundreds of enemy troops have seized the gate of the city."

Lu Qiang's heart was half cold, "Is it just a few hundred?"

Da da da!
A group of cavalry came, but they were stopped by the fleeing people, and they were getting slower and slower.

"Avoid!"

Some generals drew their swords and slashed at the void to frighten the people.

The crowd moved out of the way, and the cavalry began to accelerate.

Du Hui rushed out and asked, "How many enemy troops?"

The clerk repeated, "Hundreds."

"impossible!"

Du Hui said almost subconsciously: "Even if the surprise attack is successful, the hundreds of enemy troops will not be able to control them. Then our army counterattacked, and they could only run away or be killed. Envoy, there should be enemy troops in the follow-up." Accept."

"It's from the mountains over there in Fengzhou!"

Although Lu Qiang is not good at martial arts, he still judged the origin of the enemy army.

This is the Northern Liao Army!
"Go for reinforcements!"

Lu Qiang turned around and shouted: "Horse! Bring the horse!"

A small official brought his horse.

"go!"

Lu Qiang rushed to the city gate with dozens of officials and soldiers.

When he saw the city gate, he also saw the enemy troops rushing in.

"It's the Northern Liao Army!"

A small official shouted.

"shut up!"

Lu Qiang drew out the horizontal knife, his eyes were red, "Drive them out!"

A group of cavalry rushed up.

The enemy army came up to meet them, and the two sides strangled together.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The bell at the top of the city has never stopped.

"A large group of enemy troops is attacking!"

A sergeant shouted back.

An enemy cavalry rushed into the city, turned around when he heard the sound, drew his bow and set an arrow, and shot the sergeant dead with one arrow.

Da da da!
Lu Qiang has heard the sound of horseshoes.

"Quick! Go to the top of the city."

A group of infantry rushed to the top of the city, all of them were archers.

Then, a group of cavalry arrived and rushed straight to the city gate.

A fierce strangulation battle broke out at the city gate.

The two sides will not back down.

"quick!"

Lu Qiang turned his head and saw hundreds of infantry rushing towards him.

He looked anxious, "It's too little, people should urge you!"

Du Hui's face turned livid, "You can't go for reinforcements in small groups, it's unreliable!"

Refueling tactics cannot repel the enemy, the best way is to gather a force to drive away the enemy in one fell swoop, and then close the city gate.

As long as the city gate is closed, no matter how many enemy troops there are, Du Hui is sure to be able to hold Lin'an City and wait for Tao County to come to help.

The sound of horseshoes outside the city was getting closer.

More than [-] infantry gathered behind Du Hui, he gritted his teeth, "Go!"

He didn't want to let these infantry charge at this time, he wanted to gather more troops.

But it's too late!

Hundreds of infantry rushed forward, pushing the enemy cavalry who broke into the city out step by step.

Seeing that the enemy army is about to withdraw...

"Okay!" Lu Qiang patted his forehead happily.

But Du Hui's complexion was pale.

The sound of hooves suddenly disappeared.

Everything seemed to stop.

Inside the city gate, both the enemy and us opened their mouths to shout, but we couldn't hear what they were shouting.

Those fighting movements seemed to be slowed down.

Lu Qiang even saw the poignant beauty of blood spurting.

A sergeant opened his mouth and shouted in despair, blood shot out from his chest.

The enemy army who beheaded him grinned grimly.

Then, he flew up.

fell heavily.

Yiqi rushed in from outside the city.

Northern Liao cavalry uniform.

Holding a long knife.

His eyes turned and finally settled on Lu Qiang.

He turned his head, overjoyed, "Lu Qiang is here!"

The cavalry are coming!

"Emissary, retreat!"

Du Hui pulled Lu Qiang and shouted.

Holding the horizontal knife, Lu Qiang thought of Yang Xuan's explanation.

——No business, no wealth, no work, no strength.Chenzhou is an important place for business and trade in northern Xinjiang, as well as a place for workshops.This is my root, you, watch over this place for me!
At that time, he vowed: "Deputy Envoy, don't worry!"

Even if He Lianchun's imperial conquest is in person, Lu Qiang is sure to stick to it until Yang Xuan comes to help.

But today Lin'an City was breached.

The cavalrymen rushed in with grinning grinning, their crazy looks, as if the whole city would become their hunting ground.

"The old man is here, and he will not retreat!"

Lu Qiang said stubbornly.

"Alright!"

Du Hui stood together with him, "If I have failed the Duke's expectations, then I will die here!"

Teams of enemy troops are rushing madly.

Those hundreds of infantry tried their best to block, but they were extremely weak without coordination and equipment.They are constantly being weakened and losing ground.

Outside the city, Jiang He couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw his subordinates rushing in.

"Hahahaha!"

It's not just him laughing, He Lin is too.

"This is Lin'an City, where Yang Gou started his family! Hahahaha!"

Jiang He shouted: "Quick, set fire to the city!"

He Lin smiled from ear to ear, "I want to capture Lu Qiang alive!"

"Capture Lu Qiang alive!"

The enemy is cheering.

"The old man is here!"

Lu Qiang's face was pale, and he walked forward step by step.

——Zi Tai, old man, I have let you down!
Then, use this life to repay it!

Du Hui grabbed him violently.

"Your Majesty!"

Lu Qiang turned his head and said angrily: "Let go!"

Du Hui held him tightly, "Master, listen!"

Lu Qiang tilted his ears.

"What is that sound?"

He looked up, "Thunder?"

But the sky was cloudless.

outside the city.
Jiang He also heard this voice.

He smiled and slowly looked to the right, which is the west.

A black line appeared in his line of sight.

The black line keeps expanding.

A big flag!
Flutter in the wind!

A sergeant's face was pale, as if he saw the army coming from hell, he screamed:

"It's Yang Ziqi!"
