NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 74 Seizing the City
Just when Cheng Haonan and others thought they would stand still and wait for Lu Changming's arrival, Chu Qingyan's side had already begun to take action.
Before Li Yuan announced the appointment of Lu Changming as the governor of Huiyang County tomorrow, Chu Qingyan first captured the remaining two cities to the east.
Kuicheng is one of the cities that the three major forces have won over.
Tonight at midnight.
Hundreds of soldiers were guarding the south gate of Kuicheng. Some of these hundreds of soldiers were yawning all the time, and some were lazily leaning against the wall. When they were bored, they shot outside the city to see what was going on.
At this time, a young soldier by the city gate saw everyone acting so lazily and couldn't help but ask the captain next to him: "Captain, didn't the commander ask us to be strictly vigilant about the situation at Kuicheng gate every day? Now we are so lax and not afraid of being caught." Did the commander see the scolding?"
The captain glanced at the young soldier, then closed his eyes and said: "The commander wants to scold us, then you have to take a look at it!
Don't worry, this is not a war period. Kuicheng has been quiet for so many years. Who dares to send troops to seize the city easily.
Look at the leaders of our Kuicheng who are drinking and having fun every day. There is no need to worry about this, they have already thought of it! "
……………
Um?
The captain, who had closed his eyes and was wondering why he didn't hear the soldier's reply, suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw that the soldier's neck had been cut open and his mouth was cut by a hand. He covered it tightly and looked at himself with a horrified expression.
Before he could shout out immediately, a strong hand suddenly appeared behind him and covered his mouth, imprisoning his whole body. Then he suffered severe pain in his neck and fell into darkness!
Not only the south gate, but also the soldiers guarding the four major gates in the east, west, south, and west of Kuicheng were eliminated one by one. Teams of elite soldiers quickly replaced them to guard the city gates.
The four city gates are wide open!
Outside the city gate, a general with a calm face hidden in the woods saw the south city gate open. He raised his eyes slightly and waved his hand!
Thousands of soldiers hidden in the woods suddenly moved.
Liangcheng is bustling with people, and the nightlife has just begun.
A commander-level general rushed to the city gate first and shouted:
"Three major forces attacked and killed Governor Wu. There are people from the three major forces in Kui City. Charge!
We avenge Governor Wu! "
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The movement of soldiers entering the city gate could not be hidden. When the people on the street suddenly saw troops that were different from the defenders rushing into the city, they all showed frightened expressions, shouted, and fled in a hurry.
With the entry of armies from all directions, riots broke out in Kuicheng, with the sound of horse hooves, the shouts of the people, and the screams of soldiers avenging Governor Wu.
tread! tread! tread!
Kuicheng's military camp, city lord's palace, and various important locations were all surrounded by soldiers.
Especially the big families in Kuicheng who have decided to join the three major forces. The commanders who led the troops did not need any reason and directly sent troops to surround the Zhuang Mansion. They bent their bows and nocked arrows, and fired arrows one after another.
Under the command of the general, troops were sent into formation, waiting for them to rush out and encircle and kill them.
Suddenly there was the sound of fighting in the city.
In the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord of Kuicheng was still drinking and having fun with the two leaders of Zhongyi Hall, hugging the beauty and smiling broadly, when he suddenly heard a chaotic sound nearby.
The somewhat drunk City Lord Kui was furious when he heard the noise. He pointed at the guard next to him and shouted: "What's going on outside? Let me see who is so bold as to dare to cause trouble near the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Here!"
The guards took orders.
Before the guard could reach the door, the door was opened by a soldier with blood on his face, and the man was heard shouting:
"The city lord is in trouble, enemy troops have rushed into Kuicheng!"
Then he fell down.
"What!"
"How can it be!"
City Lord Kui's drunken face was suddenly so frightened that he sobered up. The two leaders of Zhongyi Hall were shocked, stood up suddenly, pushed away the beauties next to them, and rushed out of the door.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Before they even stepped out of the door, they saw rows of soldiers gathered outside the door, holding sharp weapons and facing them.
City Lord Kui also stumbled out of the door. When he saw this scene, his face turned pale and he looked at the general standing at the front among the soldiers. He knew that it was Jiang Tiantian, the general Chu Qingyan sent to Pingcheng to guard.
City Lord Kui shouted to Jiang Tiantian:
"Jiang Tiantian, are you going to rebel?"
"How dare you send troops to seize the city!"
Jiang Tiantian had an expressionless face. He was wearing armor and holding a weapon. He stood among the soldiers, exuding a fierce aura. Facing the question from City Lord Kui, he said calmly:
"The people from Zhongyi Hall attacked and killed Governor Zhou, and you colluded with them. We want to avenge Governor Zhou!"
"Who said we have to pay a price for attacking and killing Governor Zhou and slandering our Zhongyi Hall!" The two leaders were furious.
"Who said it was people from Zhongyi Hall who attacked and killed Governor Zhou? What evidence do you have? If you dare to send troops to seize the city, you are treasonous. This city lord will report it to the King of Chu!"
City Lord Kui stepped forward and scolded him angrily.
call out!
However, the next moment, a sharp sword penetrated his chest.
"you……"
City Lord Kui, who was still breathing, looked at Jiang Tiantian blankly, how dare he kill a City Lord so boldly.
"City Lord Kui colluded with Zhongyi Tang to attack and kill Governor Zhou. This general will report it to the King of Chu in the future. Lord Kui doesn't have to worry."
puff!
City Lord Kui spurted out a large mouthful of blood and died in anger.
Jiang Tiantian stopped looking at City Lord Kui, who was shot to death by his own sword, and turned to the two trembling leaders of Zhongyi Hall.
"kill!"
The captains behind Jiang Tiantian rushed out one by one and killed them...
"Surrender without killing!"
"We are the princess's people. Lord Kui City colluded with Zhongyi Hall to attack and kill Governor Zhou. The princess was furious and took Kui City to investigate the cause of Governor Zhou's death!"
In the military camp, most of the Kuicheng garrison soldiers were squatting on the ground one by one, listening to the explanations of Chu Qingyan's commander...
Another place, Anseong.
"Surrender without killing!"
"We are the princess's people. Lord An colluded with the Ximen family to attack and kill Governor Zhou. The princess was furious and took An city to investigate the cause of Governor Zhou's death!"
Yang Zhaoping acted according to the plan and also took control of Ancheng as quickly as possible, violently solving all the forces that had taken refuge in the Ximen family.
Overnight, the five major cities in the east of Huiyang County were all under the control of Chu Qingyan.
After taking control of the city, he sent several elite teams from the Zhenguo Mansion to go around the towns in the city and clear out all the people from the three major forces.
