Chapter 285 Chapter 284 Capture the leader first

Just as An Xin was thinking about this and that, a masked man in black appeared in front of her like a breeze.

"Why are you here again?" An Xin moved his ears and opened his eyes, saw the person in front of him, and asked curiously.

"The emperor asked you when you will return to the capital. The day for you to participate in the Nanyu Cuju Competition is approaching."

An Xin leaned against the arrow tower, tightened his cloak, and asked an irrelevant question, "Are you in a hurry to go back?"

Long Yi paused for a moment: "What's wrong?"

"I'd like to ask you for help with a small matter." An Xin said with a guilty conscience.

Long Yi thought about it and realized that there was really nothing urgent, so he nodded.

An Xin raised a cunning smile at the corner of his mouth, supported his cheek, and looked up at Long Yi in front of him.

When Long Yi saw An Xin looking at him like this, he suddenly felt uneasy and wanted to escape.

That night, An Xin brought his new brother Long Yi and the people sent by Liao Angkuo to launch a sneak attack. When they climbed halfway up the ladder of the city wall.

Then the two people, who had no sympathy at all, gave a gentle push, and those people fell down like a string of candied haws.

The soldiers who heard the noise woke up and saw this scene, their mouths twitched. They looked at the enemy soldiers falling down and heard their screams, thinking that even if they were not dead, they would be half-crippled.

Outside the city, Liao Angkuo looked at the overturned ladders and the soldiers rolling on the ground with broken heads and bleeding, his face terribly gloomy.

Knowing that his sneak attack had been discovered, he turned around and walked back to his tent to rest, waiting for daybreak to attack the city head-on.

The next day, the weather was fine.

As the first rays of dawn slowly rose, the enemy troops outside Jibei City began the first wave of siege.

The entire wilderness outside the city was filled with black masses of soldiers, who were rushing towards the city walls like a tide.

An Xin was wearing a tight suit, holding a sharp long-handled sword in his hand, and standing on the city wall with a tall and handsome posture.

With cold eyes, he looked at Liao Angkuo, who was sitting on a horse under the city with a sinister smile on the corner of his lips.

An Xin curled the corners of her mouth at Liao Angkuo's provocative smile. She didn't think that this man's hard tactics could break the defense of Jibei City.

When the quality of the soldiers on both sides is not much different, as long as the defending general is calm and steady and does not panic, he can open the city gate and fight.

Now they have sufficient food and grass, and if external factors are eliminated, a dangerous city of this size can be defended by 3,000 men, and 5,000 men can defend it to the death.

But if you have 10,000 people like them, you can adopt the tactic of adding fuel to the fire, divide into two or three groups, and take turns to defend.

If Liao Angkuo did not have any effective siege strategy, not to mention that he led 50,000 soldiers, even if he led 100,000 soldiers, he would not be able to capture this sturdy city.

An Xin looked at the ladders that had just been put up and were easily pushed out by the soldiers on the city wall. The enemy soldiers who had just climbed half of the ladders fell down like dumplings. It was painful to see them. What An Xin was worried about now was not that Jibei City would be breached, but that Liao Angkuo would react and turn back to rescue Cangbei City he was guarding, which would be troublesome.

As expected, after two days of fierce attack on Jibei City, Liao Angkuo found that he could not take the city after a long time of siege. He suddenly realized that if he continued like this, he would not be able to take Jibei City.

If he waits until the Cangbei City he is guarding is captured by the enemy army, he will likely be attacked from both sides.

An Xin stood on the city wall and saw that the siege outside the city had stopped. He realized that his worries were not unnecessary.

Liao Angkuo, who was provoked by her and was overwhelmed by anger and hatred at the time, now realized that he had made the wrong decision because of his anger.

Seeing the army reorganizing under the city, it was An Xin's turn to lose his composure.

Standing on the city wall and looking down, An Xin's eyes were cold and hot, and he said lightly: "You want to leave now? No way." "If we let them go now, it would be like putting Yuchi Yi and his men on the rack and roasting them. They will be the ones who are attacked from all sides.

If it were someone else, given An Xin's lack of conscience, she might not necessarily care.

But it’s different now since the ones who are about to suffer are her students.

The Jibei soldiers on the city wall who were bravely resisting the siege initially cheered for Liao Angkuo's retreat.

When I saw that An Xin's face was expressionless and calm, without a trace of joy.

Only then did he suddenly realize that if Liao Angkuo led his troops back to defend, the 70,000 soldiers they went to launch a surprise attack on Cangbei City would be in danger.

"What should we do?!" Chen Zhiyang looked at An Xin and said helplessly.

An Xin glanced at everyone, his expression as steady as an old dog, "Catch the leader first."

The few generals who stayed behind looked at her with some confusion. It was not that they did not understand what she said, but they did not know what An Xin was going to do.

An Xin smiled and said something that surprised everyone even more: "Wait a moment, I will go out of the city with another person to capture the enemy's chief general, and then the enemy's soldiers will surely chase us.

You take your troops to ambush inside the city gate and quickly close the gate when the time is right.

We need to be quick, otherwise if we let in too many of our 10,000 people, we might get killed by them."

"This...this...Master Jijiu, just you and that person go out of the city to capture the king," Chen Zhiyang scratched his head, "Do you want to bring more people?"

An Xin did not refuse outright, but smiled and said, "Then how many people do you think we should take out of the city to successfully capture the enemy leader?"

Everyone choked and said, "Yes."

They had only about 10,000 soldiers left in northern Hebei. Even if they mobilized all of them, they might not be able to capture the enemy leader among an army of 50,000.

The generals looked at An Xin in embarrassment. They were the ones who took things for granted.

An Xin did not continue to pretend. He picked up his long-handled red flame sword, walked firmly and straight, unable to conceal his domineering aura, and walked down the city wall in the shocked gazes of all the soldiers on the wall.

A masked man dressed in black and with a slender build appeared out of thin air and landed on a pure white horse behind An Xin.

Two men, one in front and one behind, riding one black horse and one white horse, rushed out through the gap in the city gate.

Liao Angkuo, who was reorganizing his army and preparing to return for defense, never imagined that there would be someone as cowardly as An Xin who would risk being chopped into meat sauce by an army of 50,000.

With a man who dared not even show his face, he rushed out of the city gate in broad daylight, broke into the army and captured the enemy leader alive.

"!!?" This is what human beings do.

The soldiers left behind on the city wall were also stunned when they saw An Xin's bold move.

"When did the enemy's generals become so easy to capture? If they were all so easy to capture, it seems like we could do it too."

Another soldier pointed down.

The soldier who just said he could do it turned sideways and looked back. "Oh my god!" he was shocked. "What's going on?"

How come in the blink of an eye, the two people who had just successfully robbed the person were surrounded by dense crowds.

"Brother, do you think our Imperial Envoy can have an intact body?" The soldier who spoke had a bitter face and was about to cry.

The soldier standing nearby didn't say anything, obviously thinking that An Xin and the other man were in great danger.
