Chapter 709 Entering the City
Almost at the same time when Zhou Chongshan announced the change of ownership of Green Forest City, the siege troops led by Bai Tu took over this side of the city wall at the fastest speed and replaced the flags on the wall.
Looking up at the flag of the Great Zhou fluttering in the wind, Bai Tu felt filled with emotion.
In his life until now, since he joined the army to defend his country, he has fought in many battles, big and small, but he has never won a battle so easily.
Normally, it's a good thing to win so easily.
But he is here to achieve great things!
Although the siege troops led by him also participated in the battle, judging from the results, they only played a supporting and covering role, and later cooperated with the Xianzhen Camp to capture the surrendered soldiers.
The credit for this wave must have gone to the Xian Camp. When Bai Tu thought of this, he felt a little melancholy.
But there is nothing we can do, because they are not as skilled as others.
Zhou Xu quickly entered the city. As for some follow-up work after occupying the city, Bai Tu had followed Shi Lei before and was familiar with all of it. Now Zhou Xu directly handed all these matters over to Bai Tu to handle, and nothing would go wrong.
But their actions will not stop there. Don't forget, they are going straight to Xianyang City.
"After we take over Green Forest City, we have to leave some troops here to garrison, right? How are we going to take over Xianyang City now?"
After entering the city, Jie Liancheng suddenly realized this problem and couldn't help but ask a question.
After this period of time, it was not difficult for Xie Liancheng to see that the strength of the Great Zhou was definitely sufficient, but the number of troops was insufficient.
As a result, as the number of occupied cities increased, the number of troops to defend the cities could not be deployed due to insufficient numbers.
Faced with this question, Zhou Xu, who had already made arrangements in his mind, smiled.
"Simple. The key to taking Xianyang City lies in you, the great general."
“…”
In the blink of an eye, five days passed and a cavalry unit arrived outside the city of Xianyang with a cloud of dust.
The defenders of Xianyang City, who had noticed their presence early on, sounded the alarm and quickly issued a warning to the outside of the city.
"Stop! If you dare to come any closer, we will shoot arrows!!"
Hearing the warning from the defenders of Xianyang City, a figure led by a cavalry unit outside the city pointed their weapons directly at the top of the wall and cursed...
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly who I am! You bastards!!"
It is said that he is a third-rank official in front of the prime minister. As the defender of the capital Xianyang City, his status is naturally not comparable to the garrisons in other cities. His attitude is also more arrogant on weekdays. He has never encountered a situation like this where he was directly pointed at in the nose and scolded.
This time, I was really confused.
They wanted to get angry, but the man outside the city was so confident in his cursing that they were a little unsure and quickly looked over.
As soon as he saw it, he was so scared that his neck shrank.
"Damn it, it's the general!"
Although Yan Sheng had always been suspicious of Jie Liancheng, it was obviously impossible for such a thing to be known to everyone.
Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, Xie Liancheng's identity as a great general is still very useful, and the small official guarding the city on the wall naturally dare not provoke him.
However, Cao Peng, the general who is now in charge of commanding the defenders of Xianyang City, although he does not have a title like the Four Dragon Generals, is also Yan Sheng's confidant.
He was also clear about some of Yan Sheng's thoughts.
After hearing the noise, Cao Peng quickly climbed up to the top of the wall, stuck his head out and saw that it was indeed Jie Liancheng!
[Why did Xie Liancheng take the cavalry back to Xianyang at this time? ]
With such doubts, Cao Peng asked loudly: "I wonder why the general returned to Xianyang City at this time?!"
Hearing this, the 300 soldiers in the trap camp, led by Zhou Chongshan, who had changed their equipment and even rode inferior horses, disguising themselves as the enemy cavalry, all became tense.
In the current situation, if you say something wrong, the opposing defenders might shoot you with arrows.
Just when Zhou Chongshan was thinking about how Jie Liancheng should respond, he heard the other party swearing again...
"Who the hell are you? This is something you should ask as the gatekeeper. Hurry up and open the door for me! If you delay things, I will chop off your head!"
Cao Peng's facial muscles twitched after hearing this scolding. He was obviously a little overwhelmed, but he didn't dare to scold back directly.
It was true that he was Yan Sheng's confidant, but who in the court didn't know that their general was a jerk? Even their majesty couldn't do anything about him.
If you really piss them off, they'll chop off your head with a knife, and your death will be in vain! "Sir, should we open this city gate or not?"
They couldn't afford to offend Xie Liancheng, who was cursing outside the city, but they also couldn't afford to offend Cao Peng, their immediate superior in the city. So no one dared to act rashly at this moment.
To be honest, Cao Peng has no idea what is going on in this situation.
Things like this would be problematic if they happened to anyone else, but when it happened to a jerk like Jie Liancheng, it seemed inexplicably reasonable.
It was obviously not a solution to continue like this. At the same time, Jie Liancheng outside the city was cursing more and more harshly, and Cao Peng's face turned pale and blue.
"Damn it, this damn Jie Liancheng."
After secretly cursing under his breath, Cao Peng made a decision and called a few confidants to make arrangements.
"You guys, take a team of people, change into civilian clothes, go to the General's Mansion, surround them quietly, and wait for my signal. As soon as I give the signal, you rush in and arrest them immediately!"
At this moment, Cao Peng's order frightened several of his confidants, but they dared not disobey.
After watching several confidants leave, Cao Peng hesitated for a while, buying them some time, and then ordered people to slowly open the city gate.
When Xie Liancheng saw that the city gate was open, he rode his horse into the city without hesitation.
Passing through the city gate passage, I saw that the defenders of the city had already gathered on the open space at the end of the passage.
Each of them was holding a weapon and guarding the chevaux de frise, and archers were deployed behind them.
Although they didn't raise their weapons directly at this moment, they were obviously ready to take action at any time.
After making all the necessary preparations, Cao Peng, wearing the armor of a city defender, stood behind the chevaux de frise, with a personal soldier protecting him on each side. He clasped his fist towards Jie Liancheng and was about to speak.
Unexpectedly, Xie Liancheng, who was riding on horseback, suddenly burst out, and the three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand flew out with a sound of breaking through the air, and pierced Cao Peng's chest with lightning speed! At that moment, the scene was dead silent, and Cao Peng's eyes were wide open, looking down at the three-pointed two-edged sword that pierced his chest with disbelief.
He never expected that Jie Liancheng, this idiot, didn't even pretend after entering the city! ! I went out for something and came back late
