Considering that most of the refugees suffered from night blindness, Yuanniang did not choose to launch a surprise attack at night. Instead, she used gunpowder to start a new round of siege when it was just light in the early morning of the next day.
"Damn it, there is still too little gunpowder, just a little bit!" Yuanniang said bitterly as she looked at the slightly shaking city wall.
If there were more gunpowder, a hole would definitely be blown in the city wall!
But it doesn't matter anymore.
The offensive led by Yuanniang was like a tide, one wave after another, and even the experienced Tian Wei found it difficult to cope with it.
Yuanniang failed to capture the city after a long siege, and seeing that the people in the city were unwilling to fight for a long time, after learning that the suicide squad had successfully entered the city, Yuanniang sounded the call to withdraw her troops.
That night, the bright white moon was obscured by dark blue clouds, and there was not much light above the earth.
Wang Sanniang, a member of the death squad hiding in the city, clung to the city wall and slowly approached the government office like a ghost in the night.
In the government office, the lights were on, the birds were singing and the sounds of swallows were heard, and among the shadows one could see graceful dancing figures.
After repelling Yuan Nian Niang's attack once again, Ding Ze and Tian Wei were in high spirits and were drinking to their heart's content.
The clinking of glasses and the clanging of wine cups caused the rough, thunderous sounds to drift far away from the main hall.
Tian Wei was drunk, his cheeks were stained pink, and his nose was red. "Haha, I don't know what that woman brought. It was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, which scared us. But in the end, it was just thunder without rain, and it just scraped off some of the wall. I guess the Duke of Yun is just a name, and it's all because of rumors."
Ding Ze offered a glass of wine to Captain Tian: "Fortunately, we have General Tian. General Tian is brave and unparalleled. In the future, our Xinzheng County will rely on you!"
God knows how much psychological pressure Ding Ze has been under these days!
Finally being able to put down this heavy burden, Ding Ze really wanted to go back and have a good sleep.
Tian Wei was toasted by Ding Ze and local bureaucrats in turn, and they praised him like crazy, praising him to the skies.
Captain Tian shouldn't have drunk today, but given the atmosphere and the fact that he had won a battle, he could no longer control himself.
After several rounds of drinking, Tian Wei rubbed his stomach, feeling the urge to urinate, and stood up and pushed away the dancer who was clinging to him.
"You guys drink first, I'll go wash my hands."
Ding Ze wanted to send a few servants to follow him, but Tian Wei waved them away: "How can you be so useless? Get out of the way! I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!"
Ding Ze saw that although Tian Wei was drunk, he walked steadily and did not look drunk or confused, so he waved his hand and said, "Wait for you to come back and continue drinking!"
While Tian Wei went to the toilet to flush the toilet, he was thinking about the battle that took place during the day.
I have to say that the opposing general has very good command skills and doesn't seem like a self-taught person.
The soldiers on the opposite side were also extremely brave. Some of them were elite and followed orders well and cooperated well. They should be the soldiers from Yunzhou.
If Yunzhou were full of such generals and soldiers, its combat effectiveness would absolutely be amazing!
General Xie wanted to retake Henan County and then go north again to take over Hezhong County, but it might be difficult.
Tian Wei thought again and realized that the task assigned to General Xie by the government was to defend Henan County. As long as the task was completed, both General Xie and himself would be rewarded, and might even be promoted to a higher rank.
Thinking of the bright future, Tian Wei couldn't help but whistle.
He thought again that the general opposite him was a female general and there were female soldiers under her, and those female soldiers should be the camp prostitutes.
It was just because their lord was a woman that they gave these camp prostitutes the name of the women's army.
If you have the chance, you can go and patronize their business and see what the difference is between the camp prostitutes in Yunzhou and those in other places?
While Tian Wei Baonuan was thinking about lust, dozens of dark figures had sneaked into the government office.
Perhaps because they were too confident in the protection of the city walls, the guarding of the county government was very lax, and there were only a few patrolling guards.
Especially in such cold weather, when all the superiors were toasting in the hall, they would be lazy and find a place to hide, smelling the aroma of wine and meat, secretly fantasizing in their hearts that one day, when they would ascend to a high position, they would also drink and eat meat with big gulps, and have beauties on their sides.
"Sanniang, is this a trick?" a female officer frowned and speculated.
She had never seen a government office with such loose defenses, especially since it was a besieged city.
Wang Sanniang sneered, "You overestimate them. Just like a taut string, if it suddenly relaxes, it will lose its fighting power. This is Ding Ze's current state. As for the new reinforcements, they simply look down on us."
I felt that they were a group of rabble and it was impossible for them to sneak into the inner city.
The female officer had a stern look on her face.
Since she joined the Women's Army, the voices around her, in addition to praise, are mostly doubts. They question whether she, as a woman, can withstand the hardships of the army and whether she will be a drag.
So what she hates most is that her opponents look down on her!
"Those who look down on me, let them watch with their lives!"
Wang Sanniang seized the opportunity and shot Tian Wei in the heart with an arrow from her sleeve from behind when he was letting the water out.
Before Tian Wei knew what was happening, he fell to the ground with a bang, his head drooping weakly and falling into the toilet.
Wang Sanniang made a gesture, and everyone sneaked into the hall like cats.
Everyone in the hall was drunk and many generals put their hands into the dancers' clothes, laughing lewdly.
At this time, even if Xie Yunzhang came in person, he would not be able to wake up these lustful military officers.
Such a good opportunity must not be missed.
Wang Sanniang waved her hand, and the members of the suicide squad killed everyone present with their hidden blades at lightning speed.
The last dancer was about to scream when Wang Sanniang shot an arrow through her heart.
Wang Sanniang was worried that some fish might have escaped the net, so she took everyone to finish off the corpse.
After making sure that they could not die any more, Wang Sanniang divided the suicide squad into two parts according to the plan. One part went to the city gate, waiting for the opportunity to cooperate with the enemy from inside and outside.
She took another group of people to set fire to important places such as military camps and granaries.
They lit the arrows with oil dipped at the tip, then put the arrows on their bows and shot them diagonally into the air.
Arrows were shot out from the sky, leaving orange-red tails in the air, and then fell into the camp like rain.
A battle had just ended and the soldiers who were sleeping soundly in the camp were caught off guard by the sudden fire.
"Help! There's a fire!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Disorganized shouts, chaotic footsteps...the crackling noises intertwined into a soul-stealing song.
The death squad guarding the city gate took advantage of the chaos to open the gate, while Yuanniang and others had already prepared their troops and were ready to go, like wild beasts lurking in the night, just waiting for the enemy to reveal a fatal flaw!
"Follow the plan!"
That night, the sound of killing was deafening in Xinzheng County.
Many big families were awakened from their sleep and were surprised to find that the owner of Xinzheng County had changed!
Their house was surrounded by soldiers, and Mei Tang asked them with a smile, "Do you choose to surrender or die?" (End of this chapter)
