Chapter 129 Seize the City Gate in a Swift Move!
That night, in the latter half of the night, at the third quarter of the hour of Chou (1-3 AM).
Jimingcheng, southeast corner of the city wall.
"Whoosh!"
"Click!"
An iron grappling hook shot out from below the city wall and got firmly stuck in the gap between the arrow emplacements.
The iron claws gripped the city bricks tightly, and with a pull of the rope, the grip became even tighter.
Immediately afterwards, three more grappling hooks flew up onto the city in the same manner.
The rope trembled slightly, and the four men in black silently climbed upwards using it.
The four men moved with agility, their bare hands moving as if on flat ground, and in the blink of an eye they reached a point just a step away from the city wall.
The leader listened intently and could faintly hear the voices of soldiers talking from the city wall, about a dozen paces away.
"superior!"
He gave a low shout, exerted force with both arms, and suddenly flipped his body onto the city wall.
Although their movements were extremely light, the commotion of the four living people still alerted the soldiers who were keeping watch by the fire not far away.
"Who?!"
The soldiers peered towards the southeast corner, only to see several flying knives already hurtling through the air.
"Pfft!"
The throwing knife precisely pierced the soldier's throat.
The other two soldiers didn't have time to react and died on the spot!
The remaining soldiers panicked and shouted warnings at the top of their lungs.
"Enemy attack! Enemy night attack!"
"The northern barbarians are here!"
The man from the upper town grinned maliciously and shouted, "Traitor! Your grandfather, Zheng Yan, is here! Prepare to die!"
As the commander-in-chief, Zheng Yan personally took to the field, thus beginning the killing spree that night.
Chicken Cry City, General's Mansion.
Xue Nan stumbled into Shi Chong's courtyard and pounded on the door.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"General! The enemy has entered the city! General!"
Shi Chong slept very late tonight, the thoughts of holding out and breaking through the siege swirling in his mind, but he couldn't make up his mind in the end.
He had been lying down for less than two hours when shouts outside woke him up.
He suddenly jumped off the bed.
"What's going on? Why did the enemy suddenly enter the city?" Shi Chong asked abruptly, opening the door with a grave expression.
"General, the south gate has been breached by the northern barbarians in a night attack!"
Xue Nan was in a state of panic and said urgently, "General, please think of a solution quickly!"
Think of a solution?
Shi Chong froze. With the city wall as a shield, the rebel army could still hold its own against the enemy.
Now that the city has fallen, holding out to the death will only lead to certain death!
Amidst a turmoil of thoughts, Shi Chong gritted his teeth and made his decision.
"Xue Nan, quickly summon Feng Qing and Zhang Tie! Our army... is breaking out!"
Shi Chong also had the fleeting thought of retaking the city gate and driving out the Northern Barbarian army.
But reason told him that it was too late.
With the south gate falling, a large number of northern barbarian troops poured into the city.
With the strength of the garrison inside the city, it was absolutely impossible to drive the enemy away.
Only by breaking through immediately can we have a glimmer of hope.
Shi Chong's judgment and reaction were already extremely fast, but the Northern Barbarian army under Zheng Yan's command acted even faster!
At this moment, the entire southern city had fallen into chaos.
The northern barbarian soldiers relentlessly pursued and killed the righteous army and the Zhenyuan army.
Even worse, soldiers set fire to houses, and the cries of the people and the sounds of weapons clashing echoed everywhere.
The sky above Jiming City was dyed crimson by the firelight.
Meanwhile, a mile outside Jiming City, in a secluded grove of trees.
Lin Feng sat on a tree stump, his gaze fixed on the blazing fire of Jiming City, without uttering a word.
The people around him were all anxious as they watched the fires in the city.
A moment later, Wan Qian rushed into the woods.
"My lord, the investigation is complete."
Wan Qian wiped the sweat from his brow and said urgently, "The northern barbarians have already breached the south city wall and are storming into the city!"
"Why!"
Lu Zheng slapped his thigh in frustration, lamenting, "Even rushing as fast as I could, I was still too late!"
They had already rushed to Jiming City with all their might, but they never expected to see the city engulfed in flames upon arrival.
Li Ping'an raised his hand to shield his eyes and gazed into the distance, saying in a deep voice, "Judging from the situation, only the south city has fallen, while the north city remains. Brother Lin, should we take action immediately?"
Lin Feng, with a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, shook his head slightly: "With our limited forces, a direct assault wouldn't be very effective."
"Brother Lü, Brother Li, let's do this..."
After Lin Feng whispered the plan, Li Ping'an looked worried: "We'll both be holding them back outside the city. Can you manage to go in alone?"
Lin Feng smiled slightly: "Then let's see how much of a commotion you two can cause and how much attention you can draw away from the Northern Barbarians."
Lu Zheng clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Brother Lin, you must come out unharmed, otherwise I won't be able to explain to my godfather!"
Lin Feng raised his hand and patted the breastplates of the two men, laughing, "The person who can keep me, Lin Feng, alive hasn't been born yet! Don't worry!"
……
Half an hour later, the barbarian army's camps at the north and south ends of Jiming City were simultaneously attacked and set on fire.
The Northern Barbarian army camp was originally heavily guarded.
But tonight Zheng Yan launched a general offensive, and all his troops were transferred to the front lines of the north and south cities, leaving the main camp increasingly vulnerable.
Lu Zheng and Li Ping'an broke in with almost no effort.
The two men led a group to set fires in various places, with military camps and granaries being their primary targets.
The granary caught fire, and the raging flames rolled across the night sky like a fire dragon, looking ferocious and terrifying.
Soon, news of the attack on the main camp reached the ears of the commanders on both the north and south sides.
The one in charge of attacking the north city was Zheng Yan's younger brother, Zheng Bin. When he looked back and saw the fires in the camp, he was so angry that his nose almost crooked.
"A bunch of useless idiots! How could they let the enemy raid our camp?"
He sternly ordered, "You two, take three thousand men back to camp to defend!"
Zheng Bin immediately divided his troops to return to defense, and Zheng Yan, seeing this, also hurriedly sent three thousand men to reinforce the camp.
Food supplies are the lifeblood of an army. If the main camp's granaries are lost, the army will be doomed if it runs out of food. They have no choice but to come to the rescue.
Once the Northern Barbarian troops from the north and south cities had returned to their camps, Lin Feng, who had been waiting for a long time, seized the opportunity to attack from the south city!
"kill!"
He took the lead and rushed to the front.
With a flash of light, the Cheng Ying Sword slashed through the throats of two Northern Barbarian soldiers who were blocking the way, killing them instantly!
He grabbed a Northern Barbarian soldier who was still standing with his left hand and swung him up violently.
The corpse, weighing over 100 pounds, felt as light as a feather in his hands, and he hurled it forward with tremendous force.
"Bang!"
The Northern Barbarian soldiers who charged in after them were knocked off their feet and before they could get up, Lin Feng and the Zhenyuan Army behind him had already arrived.
With swords and blades flashing, they killed them all in an instant.
"Godfather, Uncle Er Gou, seize the city gate at once!"
The northern barbarian soldiers at the south gate numbered about a hundred. Caught off guard, they were ambushed by the Han army and were slaughtered, crying out for their parents and completely routed.
"Okay!"
Wang Dahu responded loudly, and he and Zhang Ergou each led 150 men, quickly rushing up the city walls on both sides of the city gate.
"Everyone else, follow me!"
Lin Feng entrusted Wang Dahu and Zhang Ergou with the crucial task of seizing the city gate, a matter of life and death.
This was because, among all his generals, he trusted these two the most.
Inside Jiming City, chaos reigned.
Lin Feng led the remaining seven hundred soldiers straight towards the General's Mansion...
Jiming City, Yingchun Street.
With a slight tremor of the tip of the Peach Blossom Spear, it pierced straight through the chest of a northern barbarian soldier, and bright red blood gushed out.
Feng Qing used her arms to throw the corpse aside, shouting sternly, "Anyone who's not afraid of death, come at me!"
Feng Qing was slightly out of breath, her gaze fixed on the Northern Barbarian soldiers in front of her.
In the courtyard behind her, a group of women huddled together, trembling and filled with fear.
Feng Qing had only a dozen or so Yi soldiers left by her side, while the Northern Barbarian soldiers in front of her numbered over two hundred.
This hurdle is as difficult as climbing to the heavens!
"Ouch!"
The Northern Barbarian Army's centurion, Gele, stroked his chin and grinned maliciously: "I originally intended to capture those embroiderers and take them back to play with them. After I got tired of them, I would sell them back to the country and make some money."
"Unexpectedly, a beautiful woman appeared out of nowhere!"
His eyes swept greedily over Feng Qing: "You seem to know your stuff, so you must be in good shape. Tonight, we'll give you a good time!"
The handicraft industry in the Northern Barbarians was far less developed than that in the Great Qian Dynasty, and embroiderers were a rare breed of craftspeople in the Northern Barbarians.
A skilled embroiderer could earn at least three to five taels of silver by being sold to the northern barbarians.
In the two prefectures of Shuofeng, abducting people from the Great Qian Dynasty and selling them to the Northern Barbarians was an open secret among the Northern Barbarian soldiers, a way to make money.
Feng Qing lowered her voice and instructed her personal guard, "Take them out the back gate and head to the north of the city!"
After finishing her explanation, she shouted, "Your mouth is full of filth! I'll poke your mouth apart!"
With another flick of her peach blossom spear, Feng Qing charged forward first.
More than ten personal guards followed closely behind, and together they charged into the enemy ranks!
