Hu Lin cupped his hands and replied: "Reply to Master Qianhu, because our Jinping County was also attacked."
"Oh...who attacked your Jinping County?"
Because the county magistrate and patrol inspector abandoned the city and fled, Lord Bo was angry to death at home. Liping City has not yet received news of the incident in Jinping County.
Therefore, Yang Wei was surprised when he heard Hu Lin's words.
"The prefect robbed Yang Yinglong of his food, prompting him to send troops to retaliate. Who would attack the small Jinping County? Yang Yinglong's men wouldn't take a detour of 200 miles to attack a county, right?"
"Sir Qianhu, they are bandits from Wulong Mountain."
In order to deceive the thousands of households in front of him, the cunning Hu Lin mixed the truth with the truth.
"The leader of this bandit is known as Zhatian Diao, and he has five to six hundred people under his command. Maybe he was bribed by Yang Yinglong, so he traveled from western Hunan to Guizhou to join Yang Yinglong.
Because they passed through our Jinping County, this bandit army launched an attack on our Jinping County with the intention of looting the county seat.
However, we, Magistrate Deng and Inspector Luo, led their troops to repulse them and severely damaged the bandit army, killing more than 200 of the enemy. The remaining bandits fled westward.
We captured several prisoners, and after questioning, we learned that they were rushing to Lipingfu to assist the rebels in their attack on the city.
County Magistrate Deng was deeply favored by Prefect Tian, so he hastily allocated 300 men to me and asked me to travel at night and starry to come to Liping to assist you in defending the city to repay the prefect for your kindness. "
Hearing that bandits came to help Yang Yinglong, the soldiers on the city wall became even more frightened.
Since there are bandits from Wulong Mountain coming from western Hunan, there may be bandits from Bailong Mountain coming from southern Hunan, and bandits from Black Dragon Mountain coming from Guangxi. God knows how many troops Yang Yinglong sent to attack Liping?
This chieftain king who covers the sky with one hand claims to have a hundred thousand elite soldiers under his command. I don’t know why Tian Zhifu provokes him? Maybe the Sizhou Tian family will be removed from this world!
"Yang Qianhu, now that the vouchers have been verified, why don't we open the door and let the brothers from outside the city in?"
"Yes, yes, they have come a long way, and the weather is cold. If we don't open the door again, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of our brothers."
Even the two hundred households under Yang Wei worriedly advised him to open the door.
Although these government officials from the county have little fighting ability with Minzhuang, they can always be cannon fodder and throw a few stones at the city, right?
Yang Wei originally planned to send someone to ask Tian Zongren for instructions, but when his subordinates all said this, he had no choice but to follow the crowd.
"Open the city gate and let the brothers from Jinping County enter the city!"
"Put down the drawbridge and open the city gate!"
The loud messenger shouted at the top of his lungs.
The defenders on the city wall immediately took action, slowly lowering the suspension bridge, and the heavy city gate slowly opened with a "squeaking" sound.
Liping City is the seat of Liping Prefecture. There are 50,000 people in the city. The city wall is four feet high and there is a moat flowing around the city.
If the city gate had not been opened by fraud, the 5,000 Yang soldiers led by Lu Xiong might not have been able to capture this strong city.
Cao Bin, who was in the distance, was secretly lucky: "Fortunately, the people from Wulong Mountain broke through Jinping County and got the seals, arrows, and these uniforms. Otherwise, they would have paid a huge price if they attacked the city!"
Seeing Hu Lin being pulled up to the city wall in a bamboo basket, Cao Bin kept sweating in his heart, fearing that he would show his flaws and ruin his achievements.
Whether it was a city gate breached or a city gate opened by cheating, it was a great achievement in front of King Yang Tian. Cao Bin did not want to let the credit fly away.
When he saw the suspension bridge slowly lowering and the city gate slowly opening, Cao Bin's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
"Brothers, follow me into the city!"
Cao Bin suppressed the restlessness in his heart, took the lead, and led four hundred Yang soldiers in disguise into the city gate like a tide.
"Kill!"
After Yang Bing entered the city, he suddenly swung his sword and cut down the unprepared defenders under the city gate, and quickly took control of the city gate.
"Come on!"
"Take Liping City and capture Tian Zongren alive!"
The 600 Yang soldiers hidden in the darkness swarmed in, joined the 400 Yang soldiers who pretended to open the city gate, and quickly climbed onto the city wall.
There were only about 300 Tian soldiers guarding the city gate. Facing three times as many enemies who were killed in an instant, many people fled for their lives in panic.
Yang Wei, who was in charge of Qianhu, was outnumbered and was cut down in a pool of blood by more than a hundred field soldiers led by Hu Lin.
"Haha... Mr. Yang, you wouldn't have thought that I, Hu, am a liar, right?"
Hu Lin drew out the sword that was thrust into Yang Wei's chest with a proud look on his face.
"I did make a history book, but it was not a history book in Jinping County, but a history book in Bozhou. You can go on your way in peace, Tian Zongren will go down to accompany you in a moment!"
"hey-hey……"
Yang Wei, who was covered in blood, had a ferocious look on his face. He used his last strength to get up and hugged Hu Lin, "Thief, give me a back!"
Hu Lin was caught off guard and was hugged tightly by Yang Wei. The two fell from the ten-meter-high city wall like lovers until death.
After a melee, more than 300 Tian soldiers guarding the city gate died or fled. Cao Bin led the Yang army to firmly control the city gate, lit a blazing bonfire, and reported to Lu Xiong in the distance as agreed.
"Soldiers, the east gate of Liping has been captured. Follow me into the city!"
Unexpectedly, Lipingcheng was at his fingertips, and Lu Xiong's smile almost split his mouth to the base of his ears.
Then he roared loudly, raised his sword and rode his horse, leading the Yang army outside the city to rush towards Liping City as quickly as possible.
For a moment, torches all over the mountains and plains outside Liping City illuminated the night sky red, and deafening shouts of killing went straight into the sky.
Zhu Renxia led his team to choose a hillside that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. He looked at Liping City not far away and patiently waited for Jiang Guanjun's return.
"Third uncle, I believe you will chop off the heads of the field thieves to pay homage to the spirits of the old master and father-in-law, as well as the innocent souls who died innocently under Tian's sword!"
Jiang Guanjun led thirty Qi soldiers to follow Yang Bing's footsteps and successfully sneaked into Liping City. The chaotic Yang Bing did not notice a group of uninvited guests following the team in the dark night.
While Cao Bin was leading his troops to fight for the city gate, Jiang Guanjun led thirty brothers to go straight to the prefect's Yamen.
Jin Zhu volunteered to lead the way: "Follow me, I know where the prefect's Yamen is!"
Just two months ago, Jin Zhu in disguise had followed Zhu Renxia to Liping City. At that time, he had passed by the prefect's Yamen. Now that he was revisiting his old place, he still remembered the journey.
The city gate was suddenly breached by the rebels, and chaos broke out in Liping City.
Liquors and brothels have been hastily closed, people have closed their homes, and there is an endless stream of panicked people on the streets looking for their homes.
Jiang Guanjun led his men to follow Jin Zhu's footsteps and soon found the prefect's Yamen.
Under the night, the prefect's Yamen is like a lion lying on the ground, the open door is like a bloody mouth, and the two lanterns embroidered with the word "田" in front of the door are like scarlet eyes of animals.
Jin Zhu pointed forward with the scimitar in his hand: "That's Tian Zongren's lair!"
"kill!"
Jiang Guanjun's eyes were bloodshot, he held a spear in his hand and rushed forward.
"Kill, capture Tian Zongren alive!"
Thirty Qi soldiers unsheathed their swords and followed Jiang Guanjun's footsteps, quickly rushing towards the prefect's Yamen.
"Hold them off and protect the magistrate from breaking out!"
The officers guarding the government office hurriedly engaged in the battle and came face to face with Jiang Guanjun and others.
It's a pity that they are nothing more than a mantis in front of these battle-experienced Qi Jiajun.
There were only about twenty people, and even Jiang Guanjun alone was enough to kill them without any effort, not to mention that there were thirty elite soldiers behind him.
In the blink of an eye, these overestimated officers fell into a pool of blood. Jiang Guanjun led his troops into the prefect's Yamen with ease.
In the lobby, Tian Zongren, who had not yet had time to change into his crimson official robe, had a pale face. He was forced to remain calm under the protection of more than a dozen close servants.
"Are you the rebels sent by Yang Yinglong?"
Tian Zongren put his hands behind his back and took on the posture of Lord Qingtian, "I am a fourth-rank official of the imperial court and the local magistrate of Liping Prefecture. If you dare to hurt me, you will definitely end up annihilating the nine tribes in the future."
"How dare you speak harshly when you are about to die!"
Jin Zhu shouted, his figure vibrated, the scimitar in his hand flashed with cold light, and he hacked two guards to death in an instant.
"kill!"
Xu Le and Hou Jie each shouted and displayed their weapons.
"These chieftains have often oppressed us Han people. Every one of them has done a lot of evil. They all died unjustly and without mercy!"
There was a "dinging, clanging" sound of gold and iron, and the last batch of guards guarding Tian Zongren all fell into a pool of blood.
Tian Zongren was so frightened that he slumped down on his chair and begged for mercy tremblingly: "You heroes, I heard that you call yourself Han people, could it be that you are not Yang Yinglong's men?"
There was a "choking" sound.
Jiang Guanjun picked up a sharp iron sword from the ground, and it shone coldly under the light.
Tian Zongren was frightened to the point of losing his soul. He hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Hero, spare your life, spare your life!"
