Chapter 347 Capture of Huangfeng Fortress, strange assassination!

Coal City, inside the county governor's office.

"The other party wants to send the city to surrender? The condition is to seek an official position?"

Qin Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the military situation Yu Qian sent back.

According to the information in the previous intelligence, the opponent's fortress was built between mountains and rocks. It has natural dangers and is extremely difficult to break through.

The opponent's defense system has extremely powerful firepower, so it will take a lot of force to break through the fortress.

Now an official of the other side actually wanted to surrender and used the entire fortress as a bargaining chip.

The other party also made it clear that there were 200,000 troops in the fortress, and it would be very difficult to break through.

Qin Yu's expression entered a state of thinking.

He was thinking about whether this matter was true or not, whether he might be trying to trick the troops into the fortress for massacre, or whether there was some conspiracy.

It is always right to be cautious at all times and avoid many unnecessary losses.

After Qin Yu thought about it for a moment, he decided to follow the other person's wishes first and see what the other person wanted to do, whether it was true or not.

"Come here, prepare a set of official uniforms and tokens to send to the front line."

Qin Yu quickly wrote an "Appointment Letter for the Commander-in-Chief of the Dipin Palace" with pen and ink in hand and handed it to the officials on the side, who then sent the things to Yu Qian on the front line.

……

……

That night, a silk package was delivered to the commander.

After putting it away, the commander returned to his room and opened it carefully.

The silk brocade is of gorgeous texture. When opened, it reveals a set of brown official robes with lifelike unicorn patches embroidered on them.

In addition, there is a jade token and an appointment letter written by Qin Yu himself.

There is a line of words written at the bottom.

"The emperor's words are worth nine tripods and ten thousand gold."

When the commander saw it, his face suddenly showed a relaxed look.

Isn’t the way out now?

Since he would die if he couldn't defend Huangfeng Fortress, he might as well use Huangfeng Fortress to change his future and retreat.

This also requires more of the enhanced psychic potion that the governor gave him. He still has two in his pocket, which he wants to use as trump cards.

Since the commander took control of Lei Yuan, he began to aggressively expand his power and power in Huangfeng Fortress.

At the same time, he sent his men to the enemy camp to deliver the message.

……

At this time, a group of soldiers from the Daqin military camp welcomed a psychic into the military tent.

"I have met you sirs."

The psyker waved his hands around and said hello.

Yu Qian and others nodded slightly and motioned for him to continue.

"My lord told me that at midnight, if you see the signal of fireworks in the sky, you will quickly lead your troops into the city. At the same time, the wind and snow must continue. When you see green fireworks, stop the wind and snow, and when you see red fireworks, you will rush into the fortress."

"My master will take control of the entire defense system, so don't worry."

Yu Qian nodded slightly and said: "We believe that you will keep your promise, and at the same time, I, Da Qin, will never go back on your word."

"Then don't worry!"

After a brief discussion, the psyker quietly left the Daqin military camp and returned to the fortress.

"Marshal, the other party did not give details of the reasons. Can we really believe them?"

An officer asked Yu Qian.

Yu Qian nodded slightly and said: "If they make it up extremely tightly and it is more real than the real thing, then we have to be careful. The more so, the more real the thing is. But we must take precautions before they happen and send a team of shadow guards." Sneak into the fortress and gather information.”

"My subordinate understands!"

In the silent night, waves of undercurrents flowed turbulently.

Dozens of shadow guards also sneaked into the fortress quietly, observing what happened in the fortress that night.

……

……

As the night grew darker and darker, looking at his men who had already sent the letter back, the commander immediately ordered action.

He slowly walked out with a team of a hundred psychics.

The goose-feather heavy snow outside combined with the biting cold wind was still mercilessly destroying the defenders inside the fortress.

Many soldiers were shivering and stiff in the wind and snow.

"All the people in the defense system have been replaced by our people, and now only the team in charge of the fortress gate is left."

"Go over and have a look."

The commander responded and led everyone towards the fortress gate.

As the commander appeared, more and more soldiers gathered, soon reaching tens of thousands.

"Stop! What are you going to do!"

The officer in charge of managing the gate of the fortress immediately shouted and pressed the alarm button in his hand, as if the alarm would be pressed if the people in front dared to take another step forward.

The commander slowly raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then looked forward.

The bodies of the thousands of soldiers behind the officer were as stiff as candles at dusk, ready to be extinguished at any time.

The wind and snow blew on their faces, but they felt nothing.

The violent storm is devouring their lives crazily. If they continue to stand, their fate will be clearly met.

"Look at the figures of your companions behind you."

"see it?"

"Their eyes are dull, their bodies are stiff, and their lives are like candles."

"But, have their commanders ever thought about them?"

"If I can make this storm stop and stop destroying you, will you follow me?"

"Your commander doesn't care about you, then change him!"

As the loud voice spread around, the dull eyes of the nearby soldiers seemed to show a glimmer of light.

"boom!"

A green firework bloomed in the night sky instantly, and the commander exuded a strong aura and rushed around.

A terrifying sense of oppression spread all around.

The wind slowly died down and stopped.

The snow gradually became lighter and disappeared.

Although the temperature did not rise quickly, the stopped wind and snow made everyone feel better.

Everyone's energy and spirit are gradually recovering, and their stiff bodies are slowly becoming flexible.

"Listen to my order! Open the door!"

The commander suddenly shouted loudly.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then immediately became active and went to control the switch of the fortress gate.

As the huge air waves rushed towards the surroundings, the huge fortress gate slowly opened.

"Put the signal!"

As the words fell, bursts of red fireworks bloomed in the air.

At the same time, streaks of white mist also rose from the corner.

The soldiers in charge of observing the situation in the Daqin military camp saw the signal from the shadow guard and immediately went back to report it.

At the same time, the army that was ready to charge immediately rushed towards the gate of the fortress at the command.

In the silent night, the dense sound of footsteps and the sharp sound of metal and iron broke the night.

An army of 50,000 to 60,000 people attacked the fortress like it covered the sky.

What's strange about such a violent sound is that the enemy didn't react at all!

Not a single defensive tower moved.

Da Qin's army marched all the way to the foot of the fortress unimpeded.

You Ming held a big sword and led the army to bear the brunt of the attack into the fortress.

Jie held a swimming dragon spear and chased after him not to be outdone.

The army poured into the fortress in an instant. The commander stood in the corner with nearly 30,000 troops, with white flags flying in front of him. Da Qin's army naturally bypassed the team holding the white flag and killed the rest.

Those who drop their weapons will not be killed, but those who resist will be killed without mercy!

Inside the fortress, everything suddenly became a mess.

There were sounds of fighting everywhere.

Bloody limbs were scattered all over the ground.

Voices urging surrender rang out from everywhere.

Mu Yuan led the army to find the surrendered commander, and the two of them lobbied everywhere to persuade the defenders in the fortress to surrender.

As more and more defenders walked out of the building in bewilderment, they were so frightened by the enemies rushing up to them with weapons raised that they immediately dropped their weapons and surrendered.

For a time, the sound of surrender flooded the entire Huangfeng Fortress like a flood.

Two hundred thousand troops surrendered without much fighting.

Da Qin captured a majestic city with minimal casualties.

This was something no one expected.

At this time, as the former army successfully established a foothold in Huangfeng Fortress.

Yu Qian and others rushed into the fortress with the subsequent troops.

Inside the command center.

Lei Yuan was tied up.

Yu Qian walked in with a group of soldiers.

"grown ups."

The commander smiled and said hello.

Yu Qian responded with the same smile and said: "We will be colleagues in the future, no need to be polite."

The commander nodded slightly and then introduced Lei Yuan to Yu Qian: "This man is the commander-in-chief of Huangfeng Fortress and the marshal in charge of military power. He has been stationed in Huangfeng Fortress for nearly ten years and has not been lost. He is quite capable."

Yu Qian looked over curiously.

He knew that the other party wanted to introduce talents to improve his status, but if he really had some ability, his Majesty would naturally not use it.

Lei Yuan looked at the commander with a sneer and said, "The governor's promotion of you is like letting a wolf into the sheepfold. Don't be complacent. Your end will not be much better!"

After Lei Yuan finished speaking, he rushed down a soldier.

When the soldier saw Lei Yuan's face was ferocious and as fierce as an ox, he immediately drew his sword to defend.

Unexpectedly, the opponent actually hit the blade with his neck and then flicked it, killing himself!

A large amount of blood spurted out, dyeing the ground red.

The commander's pupils suddenly shrank and he couldn't help but sigh intermittently: "Why...why do you want to commit suicide...you will still get...glory and wealth..."

Yu Qian was stunned for a moment and then said: "This is a good man. He dragged the body down and buried it properly."

Looking at the stunned commander, Yu Qian didn't say anything, just let him take a moment.

Yu Qian began to pay attention to the military information maps on the table.

All of them are military information pictures about this Yellow Wind Fortress.

Five hours later.

This fortress with surging undercurrents gradually calmed down.

An officer slowly walked in and reported: "Report to the marshal, our army's casualties are less than a thousand, the enemy's casualties are more than 20,000, and there are hundreds of thousands of prisoners. The exact number is temporarily uncountable."

Yu Qian nodded slightly and said: "After counting the number, we will present it to you. After arrangements are made, the train will escort the prisoners back to the territory."

It is impossible for these nearly 200,000 prisoners to stay in Huangfeng Fortress.

Once there is a war or sudden change later, these nearly 200,000 prisoners will become an uncertain factor.

Therefore, Yu Qian would never leave such a large number of prisoners here.

"Marshal, apart from these prisoners, there are nearly 10,000 tons of weapons, equipment and ammunition, almost all of which are firearms." the officer reported again.

After hearing this, Yu Qian's eyes lit up and he said: "Send them back to the territory together for your Majesty's decision."

The entire Huangfeng Fortress has brought great benefits to Da Qin.

Whether it is the opponent's firearm technology, the two hundred thousand young men, or the Yellow Wind Fortress itself, or the defense system within it, they are all huge treasures.

You should know that for the city captured in the total war mode, after the mode ends, the population in the city and the city itself will belong to the winner.

Qin Yu can place this fortress that has been established and has stood for ten years at will in his own civilization.

If manpower is used to build it, and with the assistance of extraordinary power, it will take at least years to build a city the same size as the Yellow Wind Fortress.

Currently, there is no city in Tianyu Civilization that can compare with Huangfeng Fortress.

If it weren't for the conflict between the enemy forces inside the fortress, it would be difficult to capture the fortress.

Even if Qin Yu no longer attacks and only defends this city, as long as the full-scale war is over, Qin Yu will win.

He will also directly break through to the silver rank from then on, and he will use two paths. After winning, he will also receive a silver treasure chest and a generous amount of civilization points.

……

……

Early the next morning, hurried shouts suddenly disrupted Yu Qian's thinking.

"Why are you so alarmed?"

he asked with a frown.

"Marshal Qi, someone is dead!"

"Take me to see!"

Yu Qian was immediately shocked and went forward.

I saw a body lying on the bed in the commander's room.

That corpse was the greatest contributor to the capture of Huangfeng Fortress, the Commander.

"This……"

Yu Qian was stunned.

Then everyone hurriedly started a meeting.

Within the fortress, the enemy killed the commander without anyone noticing.

There wasn't even a sound. No one discovered it until the next day.

This bizarre assassination method shocked everyone.

"What if the target of the assassination is us?"

A voice suddenly sounded in the quiet hall.

Everyone suddenly felt chills on their backs when they thought of this.

Yu Qian comforted him: "The other party probably wants to kill people and silence them. One is that this person has betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy. If he doesn't kill the people behind him and follow suit, wouldn't it be a big mess?"

"So the enemy went to great lengths to kill this man."

"Secondly, it is to prevent the other party from leaking more national information."

After a while of explanation, everyone quickly agreed.

At the same time, Yu Qian also ordered 20,000 Yin soldiers to be responsible for the defense and security of the fortress at night.

In fact, the opponent is not that capable of assassinating at will during the day.

The characters present are all powerful, not to mention that it is difficult to enter the fortress in broad daylight.

It's different at night. One is because it's dark and it's easy to sneak in. The other is because the target is asleep and it's easy to kill.

Therefore, it is much safer during the day than at night.

But even so, Yu Qian also ordered a group of shadow guards to patrol around during the day just in case.

At the end of the meeting, the next step of the attack plan will be launched.

Based on a map of the Tang Dynasty obtained in Huangfeng Fortress.

Everyone learned that Huangfeng Fortress was the border crossing into the eastern border of the Tang Dynasty.

After opening up the Huangfeng Fortress, there is the "Huangshazhou", the easternmost land of the Tang Dynasty.

There are only three cities in Huangshazhou with a population of more than 10,000 people, one of which is the base city of Huangshazhou and is the largest.

The residential population reached nearly 300,000 people, and the garrison was stable at around 70,000 to 80,000 people.
