Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 492: Beilie is lost, and the well is also lost?

Humble.

Cheng Chumo looked at Beilie in front of him with a smile on his face.

Compared with the Korean army that Koizumi Jiro encountered, the number of defenders on the Beilie side could be said to be very small.

The scattered defenders guarded the city wall in a loose manner.

Moreover, most of these people are officials from the county government in the city. From the way they walk, it can be seen that they are a group of scum who have long lacked training.

Facing such a group of scum, Cheng Chumo was so happy.

If he couldn't even take down such a group of scum, he would have no face to see Su Chen.

but.

Taking down Beilie is not a big problem, but how to reduce the losses is the top priority.

Cheng Chumo looked at the pedestrians entering and exiting the city gate, and then at the guards on the city wall.

If they had not come by boat and had not had many war horses available, they could have simply charged into the city on horseback as they did in the Western Regions.

What does it matter whether there are defenders or not? Aren’t they all equally useless?

"that whoever……"

"The captain called me?"

"Yes, it's you."

Cheng Chumo pointed at the man and said, "Take 20 people and pretend to be villagers to go to Beilie City. Do you have the confidence to seize the city gate?"

"what?"

"I?"

The soldier was stunned.

He was just a small pawn, going to seize the city gate?

"Or, Captain, you should lead the team yourself."

"..."

Cheng Chumo's face darkened, "You are such a loser! I really don't know how you can be called elite."

"..."

"Come here, prepare twenty sets of worn-out clothes for me, and follow me, disguised as villagers, to enter the city and seize the city gate."

"Yes!"

"After we seize the city gate, you will rush directly into the city and take control of the county government as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

"But Captain, how can we be sure that you have successfully taken the city gate?"

"Yes, yes, yes. If the lieutenant is in danger, how can we know it immediately?"

"..."

Cheng Chumo pondered and said, "How about this, once we successfully enter the city, you rush over directly and cooperate with us."

"Do you understand?"

"understand!"

After discussing the countermeasures, Cheng Chumo led fifty soldiers who had changed their clothes and walked towards the gate of Beilie City in twos and threes, but there was not much communication between them.

Arriving at the city gate, the officer in charge of guarding the city looked at Cheng Chumo and the others, then at the skinny civilians, and asked suspiciously, "Where are you from, and why are you in the city?"

"Why don't you ask them?"

"Are you blind? They are all skinny and pale, while you are tall and strong. You can tell at a glance that you are from an unknown background."

"Hey, hey, hey, sir, what you said is not right. We are just a little stronger."

"Sir, they are not all skinny."

"Do you want to talk more?"

rub!
The officer drew his sword and stared coldly at Cheng Chumo and the others. "Hurry up, show your credentials and tell me where you came from, or I will treat you as spies from the Tang Dynasty and arrest you for the reward!"

"grass!"

Cheng Chumo's face darkened.

Unexpectedly, just because they ate well and grew strong, they were suspected by the other party.

You really deserve to die.

Bang!
Cheng Chumo kicked him.

See this.

The rest of the people took action!

Now that we've been discovered, there's nothing to hide. Just charge in!

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Close the city gate quickly!"

The sudden action of Cheng Chumo and others shocked the officers at the city gate, who cried out in surprise.

While drawing their swords to resist the attack of Cheng Chumo and others, these officers quickly retreated into the city one by one, and the people at the city gate were also in chaos.

This resulted in the officials who wanted to quickly close the city gates being stopped by the crowded people who wanted to enter the city.

at the same time.

After seeing Cheng Chumo and others fighting, the remaining elite soldiers quickly rushed towards the city gate.

dong dong dong.

Waves of drum beats continued to sound on the city walls.

Inside the county government office, the county magistrate and other officials instantly changed color.

"Oh no, sir, the Tang army is coming to attack us."

"what?"

"Quickly organize people to resist the Tang army."

"Sir, all the available troops in the city have been taken away by County Lieutenant Qiao. Now there are only three to five hundred police officers in the city responsible for law and order. How can they resist the Tang army?"

"What about the wealthy people in the city? Didn't they agree before that once the Tang army showed up, they would cooperate with us in defending the city?"

"Your Excellency, those wealthy people have already hidden themselves away. How could they possibly fight to the death with the Tang army?"

"These bastards."

"Sir, why don't we escape too?"

"This……"

"Oh no, sir, the city gate has been breached!"

"Oh no, sir. The Tang army has entered the city..."

As bad news came one after another, everyone in the county government office was in chaos.

Who would care whether the county magistrate ran away or not? They should run away first. Otherwise, would they stay here and wait for the Tang army to kill them?

The battle lasted only half an hour before Cheng Chumo successfully captured Beilie City. The whole process was so easy that Cheng Chumo was a little unbelievable.

From the beginning to the end, there were only some obstructions at the city gate, and no one knew where the others had run to.

Looking at the empty county government office, Cheng Chumo knew in his heart that the biggest reason why it went so smoothly was because the officials in the city had fled first.

Now that all the officials have fled, will the remaining officers stop them?
"Captain, some wealthy people in the city want to see you."

"see me?"

"What do you want to see me for?"

Cheng Chumo frowned in confusion.

"The other party said that they wanted to invite you to a banquet."

Going to a banquet?

What kind of banquet did these wealthy people invite him to?

Isn't this a joke? !

wrong.

Cheng Chumo suddenly understood something. Perhaps these people, after learning that the county magistrate and others in the city had fled, wanted to get close to him to prevent him from taking action against these wealthy people.

Cheng Chumo raised his lips slightly, "Let them wait. I will go to see them when I have time."

"Come here, search the county government office to see if there is anything valuable."

"Yes!"

"Captain, Captain Cheng Feng is leading his troops to help us."

"Captain Cheng Feng?"

Cheng Chumo was immediately amused, "Isn't he at sea?"

"Your Excellency, according to Captain Cheng, after the prince learned about the reinforcements from Kaijing, he contacted General Liu, hoping that General Liu could arrange a group of troops to come and assist us."

"Reinforcements from Kaijing are coming?"

Cheng Chumo's expression suddenly became much more serious.

If reinforcements from Kaijing arrived, it would be very difficult for them, with 800 people, to successfully defend the city of Bilie.

"Quickly call in Captain Cheng Feng."

A moment later, Cheng Feng walked in from outside with a smile on his face, "Congratulations to Captain Cheng for successfully taking over Beilie City."

"You're welcome, brother."

Cheng Chumo laughed, "We both have the last name Cheng. Who knows, we might have been a family a hundred years ago."

"How many troops did you bring this time to help me defend the city of Beilie?"

"A total of three thousand troops were brought."

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "I heard that Kaijing has arranged 10,000 troops to come to the aid of Quanjing and Bile, but Quanjing has been successfully captured by the prince, and now Bile has also fallen into the hands of Captain Cheng. Those reinforcements will probably be at a loss when they come."

They clearly came to help Quanjing, but when they arrived, they found that not only Quanjing was lost, but Beilie was also lost.

Can be imagined.

How ugly the faces of those reinforcements would be.

"Ha ha……"

Cheng Chumo smiled and said, "You came at the right time. Some gentry in the city wanted to invite me to a banquet. Would you like to go with me later?"

"Going to a banquet?"

Cheng Feng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Are those people worried that you will just kill them all?"

“That makes sense.”

Cheng Chumo said cheerfully, "So, I guess they should send a lot of good things this time."

"Since you are here, brother, let's split it in half."

"This is impossible."

Cheng Feng waved his hands repeatedly.

Cheng Chumo said nonchalantly, "Why do those brothers under my command follow us and fight to the death? Isn't it for a chance of wealth and glory?"

"Now that someone is offering me money, how can I refuse it?"

"It's settled. First, deploy the troops and we'll go to the banquet together."

……

It is thirty miles away from the spring.

An army of 12,000 men was marching rapidly.

"Report."

"General, Beilie is missing!"

A scout came galloping over on horseback and spoke to Gao Zhensheng.

Gao Zhensheng frowned and asked, "Bile is missing?"

"General, according to reliable information, the one who attacked Bilie was a lieutenant under King Bingjian. He took advantage of the fact that Lieutenant Qiao Mao led his troops to help Quanjing and Bilie was empty, and suddenly launched an attack on Bilie, resulting in Bilie being captured."

Gao Zhensheng nodded.

Qiao Mao led his troops to Quanjing, and without any troops to garrison there, it was expected that he would be captured.

but.

The other side didn't bring any siege equipment, so they must have lost a lot of men, right?

"How many casualties did our army suffer?"

"The Beilie defenders suffered 300 casualties, while the Tang army suffered only 20 casualties. The county magistrate abandoned the city and fled."

"what?"

Gao Zhensheng's face suddenly turned gloomy.

They thought that there was no defensive force in the city, which led to the enemy taking over Beilie City so quickly, but they didn't expect that it was because the county magistrate ran away!

Damn!

"The magistrate of Beilie County deserves death."

"General, I request to lead the troops to take Beilie back from the Tang army first."

Gao Zhensheng glanced at Li Zhengqiang, shook his head and said, "It's okay if Bilie is lost. The important thing is the spring. As long as we stop the Tang army, we will get Bilie back sooner or later."

"That's what the general said."

Li Zhengqiang nodded.

Compared with Beilie City, Quanjing City is undoubtedly more important.

At this time.

A scout came galloping from the direction of the spring, looking sad.

"General, something bad has happened. The well is lost!"

"County Lieutenant Qiao Mao died in battle, County Lieutenant Jin Wucheng died in battle, and all the defenders in the city were killed by the Tang army. Even some of the able-bodied men who helped defend the city were not spared!"
