Chapter 146
On the 27th, the day after leaving Dongming County, the fleet arrived in the northern basin of Xucheng County.

Chen Xun did not choose to disembark because the war horse was still on him, so he had to continue with the fleet to Jixian.

Ji County and Xinxiang County are both located on the north bank of the Yellow River. The Jin army did not attach much importance to these two cities, leaving only one battalion of Jin soldiers in each city for defense.

After Chen Xun put Lai Qingyun and the third battalion of infantry off the ship, he also left more than 500 horses behind, and then the fleet turned around and returned again.

On February 28, Chen Xun led the Ma Junying and Miao Dao camps to disembark at Ligudu, forty miles north of Xucheng County.

Part of the fleet returned to Guangzhou to continue transporting supplies, and part of it cruised on the Yellow River to provide logistics for the three-way Chen Jiajun.

Chen Xun had a total of [-] troops on his route, including [-] horse troops, [-] Miao swordsmen, and [-] personal guards.

Now all the eleven hundred soldiers are equipped with horses, one man and two horses.

The cavalry army has two horses to enhance mobility, while the Miao Dao camp needs one horse to carry equipment.

The surrounding area of ​​Kaifeng Fucheng can be said to be vast. Yuntai Mountain in the northwest is three to four hundred miles away and is located on the north bank of the Yellow River.There are mountains in Zhengzhou to the west, which is also two hundred miles away.

The east and south are all plain.

Such plains can be said to be very suitable for horse racing.

But because Kaifeng was the capital of the Song Dynasty, it relied heavily on convenient and efficient water transportation, so many artificial rivers were built around it. Together with natural rivers, the water network is as dense as that of Jiangnan.

However, it is precisely because Kaifeng is the capital of the Song Dynasty that there are many bridges on the river, which does not affect the movement of the horse army across the river.

There are no mountains, just plains; there are rivers and bridges.

Let Chen Xun think that the cavalry has a lot of room to play in Kaifeng Mansion.

Therefore, after stealing all the Jin people's horses, Chen Xun still chose to lead 20 mounted infantry over despite the huge pressure of [-] enemy troops.

Equipped with a horse (Xiao Hei), a lackey (Lang Qing), and a flying "eagle" (Meng Gu), Chen Xun equipped himself with his "three-piece suit for the playboy" and led the army to kill Xucheng County.

Not long after, the army arrived at the north gate of Xucheng County.

When the army arrived one mile away from the city wall, the defenders in the city had not yet reacted. They did not know whether they were eating, drinking and enjoying themselves in the barracks, or going out to clear grass and grain.

The defenders on duty on the wall saw a strange army coming from outside the city. They just closed the city gate hastily and stood up around the gate tower with more than 100 soldiers. No other preparations were made to defend the city.

"It will be dark with more than an hour left. Do we want to attack the city?" asked the commander of the Ma Army Camp.

Chen Xun looked around and realized that the other officers had the same idea as him, thinking that the laxity of the defenders in Xucheng County was a good opportunity.

"Attack, Miao Dao camp is the main attack, the horse army is ready, rush in immediately after the city gate is opened." Chen Xun ordered.

After the order was given, Miao Daoying immediately dismounted and started dressing.

Chen Xun also quickly put on his special heavy armor with the help of his personal guards.

The two long ladders were quickly assembled, and Chen Xun chose a city wall a hundred steps away from the city gate tower to directly launch a general attack.

The defenders on the city gate tower were still watching, and they discovered that half of the troops outside the city rushed towards a city wall without even saying hello.

The defenders yelled and ran over to defend, but unfortunately it was already too late.

The long ladder was quickly put up on the city wall more than one foot high. Chen Xun was the first to climb up. Mo Dao unsheathed and chopped down a golden soldier with one strike, then followed the city wall towards the gate tower and killed him.

The top of the city wall in Xucheng County is only more than two meters wide. With one stroke of Chen Xunmo's knife, the entire city wall can be sealed.

Wearing heavy armor, Chen Xun is like a heavy bulldozer, killing people and killing Buddhas.The Jin soldiers rushed over like waves, but were "pushed away" by Chen Xun one after another with his swords.

After the long sword passed by, the golden soldiers were either chopped off the city wall or chopped to the ground. No one was spared.

Behind him were Chen Xun who climbed up the city wall. Some of them climbed down the inner wall and attacked from the inside of the city towards the city gate. The other part followed Chen Xun and used crossbows to help Chen Xun hold down the formation.

"Kill!" Chen Xun yelled.

The defenders with less than 50 people remaining on the city wall began to retreat.

"Kill!" More than a dozen defenders were caught up by Chen Xun and chopped down.

The remaining defenders could no longer control the fear in their hearts, threw down their weapons and began to stride away to the other side. One of the Jin soldiers was so frightened that he jumped directly from the city wall.

The city wall was more than one foot high, with a rammed earth road underneath, so no one could be killed by the fall, but they still did not escape the fate of being killed.Because there are also Chen Jiajun killing inside the city wall, any golden soldiers within the reach of the long sword will not be spared by Chen Jiajun.

The city gate was opened first by Chen Jiajun inside the city. When Chen Xun stood on the city gate tower, the horse army had already begun to rush in quickly from the city gate hole at his feet.

The sound of horses' hooves makes people anxious, so there is no need to raise the whip to get on with your hooves!
The human-like enhanced war horse seemed to be more eager to kill than the knight on the horse. When he saw the frantically fleeing golden soldiers in front of him, he rushed forward without dodging and knocked the enemy away with his chest.

The golden soldier was knocked into the air, vomiting blood, and the war horse neighed in excitement.

Chen Xun walked down the city gate tower and marched slowly towards the city. Along the way, the resistance of the Jin soldiers had been eliminated by the horse troops in front.

When they walked to the Xucheng County Government Office, they saw that the gate of the county office was closed tightly, and arrows were shot out from the courtyard. Only a few people from the Ma Army Camp were left to fight with the Jin soldiers here, while the rest of the Horse Army divided into three groups and shot towards the others. Three city gates rushed past.

"Let me come." Chen Xun was not afraid of arrows and walked to the county government office.

When you are four or five steps away from the door, turn sideways, lower your shoulders, step forward, and rush forward.

boom!
The gate of the county government office was directly knocked open by Chen Xun with his shoulder, and the soldiers of the Miao Dao Camp who followed behind him filed in.

……

At the end of Shenshi, the sun was still hanging in the western sky, and all the fighting in Xucheng County was over.

Except for some generals who were lucky enough to survive and could speak Chinese and were captured, all the other Jin soldiers in the city were wiped out by the Chen family's soldiers.

After listening to Chen Zhuang's report, the battle reached the final stage, and Qing Zhuang, a Han man in the city, finally couldn't help but get involved.

Kitchen knives, hoes, manure forks, and various production tools were waved towards the disarmed Jin soldiers to vent their hatred.There were also women who were bullied, their hair was disheveled and they rushed to Jin Bing and bit him with their teeth, which was horrible to watch.

The collection of information from all parties made Chen Xun realize that his side had a mass basis for fighting against the Jin army in Kaifeng Mansion.

Once the reputation is established and the Jin people are driven away, when Chen Jiajun turns to face Song Ting, he will definitely not be drowned in the sea of ​​​​people.

People's eyes are sharp.

At that time, the masses will naturally have their own choice whether to side with Song Ting who helped the Jin people persecute themselves, or to help Chen Jiajun who rescued them from the Jin people's sword.

Even if the two are not helping each other, it will be beneficial to Chen Jiajun.
