"How is it going?"
Xu Sheng was sitting on the second floor of a wine shop by the window looking down at the street below.
A soldier on the side who was delivering the order reported respectfully.
"Statistical news came back from various control points. There are a total of 2,100 private soldiers of the family. They surrounded the prefect's mansion and killed them."
There are a lot of people!
Xu Sheng secretly smacked his tongue. He didn't expect that after the Huang family's private soldiers, there were so many people. It seemed that the Jingzhou family had much more secretly hidden goods than the Jiangdong family.
They must have spared no effort this time.
"I only gave Cheng Wu 1,000 people, can he do it?"
"Don't worry, general. The commander just asked me to report to the general. He will definitely wipe out all the private soldiers of the family."
Xu Sheng smiled slightly, he just said it casually.
As for those private soldiers, it would be too embarrassing for the Jiangdong Army if they couldn't annihilate a thousand of them. Unexpectedly, the boy had expected it and informed the soldiers in advance. Xu Sheng snorted and said.
"Go and send a signal to him to save the governor's mansion. But don't wait for the military advisor to come back. The governor's mansion has been burned to rubble."
The soldiers responded when they heard the words, and quickly went to the back to signal with lights and flags.
"General, do we really not go to other places for support and stay here to ambush?"
The person who asked the question was a commander under Xu Sheng. Seeing three city gates shouting to kill Zhentian, he couldn't sit still.
Not only him, Xu Sheng's heart was not at peace either.
After the defense change in the evening, Xu Sheng followed Tai Shici's order and quietly drew out a thousand men from each of the defenders at the three gates. At present, he divided 1,000 men to guard the prefect's mansion, while he led 5,000 soldiers and horses to ambush in the streets near Huang's mansion.
"Why are you anxious? Haven't there been any emergency signals from the other gates? If we really can't hold on, I will immediately divide my troops to support you."
In front of his subordinates, Xu Sheng looked as stable as Mount Tai.
At this time, another soldier hurriedly came forward to report.
"General, the enemy has been spotted!"
The conversation between the two stopped abruptly, and the attic was silent for ten seconds.
Xu Sheng's face was a little complicated. He didn't know whether he should be happy, sad, or angry.
On the street, the doors and windows of every house were tightly closed, and only a few houses lit up dim lights, which brought a gentle color to the night, but it was also hurriedly disappeared in the night with a chaotic sound.
Li Yan frowned slightly. In order to prevent Taishi Ci from noticing too early and escaping, he had ordered not to make any noise and to move forward quietly. Under his order, the army marched solemnly, even lighting a few scattered torches, but the marching pace of tens of thousands of people still gathered into a chaotic sound. If the entire Jiangxia City hadn't been screaming for killing, they would have been killed by the people in the city. The Jiangdong Army, which was encircling and suppressing the private soldiers of the family, found out.
"General Li, after passing this street, turn left at the intersection ahead and you'll reach Huang's Mansion half a mile away."
Huang Meng is from Jiangxia. As a local snake, he naturally stayed by Li Yan's side to lead the way.
Li Yan narrowed his eyes. It was only a blink of an eye for the army to march from such a distance.
Pulling out his sword, he yelled.
"Soldiers, follow me into the Huang Mansion, capture Tai Shici alive, and then cooperate with the private soldiers of the family to capture the Taishou Mansion! When the war is over, all those who have made meritorious deeds will be rewarded. For those who have made great contributions, I will personally go to the general to offer him an official title and ask for his reward! "
As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, the Han soldiers were excited and about to respond, but were interrupted by another thunderous roar.
"Fire the arrow!"
This sound followed Li Yan's roar and spread far and wide on the street. Something seemed to be ignited by these two roars. The upstairs windows of many houses on the street burst open.
Whoosh whoosh!
Sharp arrows tore through the night. Some Han soldiers even cheered and found an arrow stuck in their chests. The whole army was stunned for a short moment.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
In a hurry, the Han soldiers instinctively hid under the eaves on both sides of the street, where they could at least guard against attacks from one side.
The original plan was to capture the enemy general alive, launch a surprise attack on the prefect's mansion, and completely collapse Jiangdong's army from top to bottom! But even Taishi Ci's face could not see that he had been ambushed. Li Yan was furious and hid behind the shield of his own soldiers while commanding the army.
"Don't panic! Use the eaves on both sides to protect yourself. The shield men will form a formation to cover, and the crossbowmen on both sides will shoot at the windows on the opposite floor!"
The shield players who scattered in a panic quickly gathered into a line of defense under Li Yan's order, forming two shield walls on both sides of the street backed by houses.
If there are countless arrows flying all over the head, even if they have the ability to fight back, who would have the guts to stand there, look for the enemy, aim and shoot?
It was not until they were covered by shields that the Han army's crossbowmen finally calmed down and started to fight back. Under the counterattack of crossbow arrows, the Jiangdong Army's offensive slowed down significantly.
As for the soldiers without shields, they naturally squeezed to both sides with all their strength. More and more people rushed behind them and many shield-hands were squeezed out. The defense line gradually became deformed.
Some soldiers began to knock on the doors of nearby people, wine shops, and shops, trying to escape inside for a while to observe the situation. However, they were greeted by spears and swords.
Long swords pierced the shadows cast on the windows, and blood stained the windowsills vermilion.
One after another, the spears either thrust through the door, or simply thrust out when the door opened. The Han soldiers who crowded at the door and wanted to enter the house suddenly turned into strings of gourds.
The shocked Han army had just stabilized their position, but suddenly a wisp of blood spattered from the brothers beside them. In the blink of an eye, they saw a bloody sword tip and gun tip coming out.
What kind of horror is this?
The Han soldiers who had just squeezed to both sides looked at the houses on both sides in fear, and backed away crazily like they were possessed.
All formations are in disarray!
The window, which had just been suppressed by the Han army for a while, started shooting wildly again.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
At this time, no matter how many troops and how few enemies there are, they can no longer continue fighting. They must withdraw from a safe distance and regroup their morale!
At least he was able to control the south gate without losing control. Li Yan, with a look of unwillingness, decisively bit this bitter pill.
After receiving Li Yan's order, the soldiers retreated in a hurry.
But Jiang Dongjun did not miss this opportunity.
"kill!"
On the various forks in the street, countless Jiangdong troops rushed over without fear of death.
In this deep night, who can tell how many people there are?
Even though all the Han army officers and soldiers knew that the Jiangdong army had fewer people than them, when the word "failure" hung in their hearts, each of them just wanted to survive.
The people in front were running, the people in the middle were running, and only those who couldn't escape at the back turned around and waved their swords in their hands in a desperate struggle, and then were quickly submerged in the sea of Jiangdong Army's people. Just devouring it bit by bit, they only had the word "escape" in their hearts.
Looking at the defeated Han army, Xu Sheng showed a bloodthirsty smile and roared menacingly.
"Kill! Take back the south gate!"
After an unknown amount of time passed in the dark night, with residual fire and corpses scattered everywhere, Jiangdong's army retook the south gate.
Xu Sheng did not order a pursuit out of the city. It was too easy to be ambushed in such a late night. He would rather sacrifice part of the victory to maintain his vigilance against danger.
With a long sigh of relief, Xu Sheng called for the soldiers.
If possible, he really wanted to let the soldiers report "everything went well", but he could only open his mouth and say.
"Tell General Taishi that everything is as he expected."
"How is it going?"
Xu Sheng was sitting on the second floor of a wine shop by the window looking down at the street below.
A soldier on the side who was delivering the order reported respectfully.
