Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/Chapter 46: Men should do something (Sixth)

The seven hundred people Liu Yan arranged in Wancheng were all his rangers.

To put it nicely, the so-called hero is like Zhu Hai Hou Ying, a righteous man who commits suicide by committing justice.

If it is not nice, it is a thug who is like a Zhu family, Guo Jie, who is like a thug who is roaming the streets, draws his sword to face each other whenever he disagrees with his words, and uses violence to seize profits and power.

And Liu Yan and his subordinates naturally belong to the latter.

Rangers do not use crossbows or spears, they only use swords. Because swords are the most powerful tools that can best demonstrate their identity and presence.

So the seven hundred subordinates deployed by Liu Yan tonight are seven hundred swordsmen.

They do not know any formation, nor have any experience on the battlefield. But they are the best thugs fighting on the street and the best at assassin who attack deadly.

Three hundred swordsmen seized the city gate, and four hundred swordsmen killed the city guard.

And where Liu Yan is located is naturally the direction of the city gate. Because it is a crucial gateway to welcome the army led by his younger brother into the city.

The long street in the night was empty. Liu Yan bit the cloth strip with his teeth and tied the long knife tightly to his hand.

Behind him were three hundred swordsmen who had been licking blood on their heads all day long, and had already put life and death aside, and were loyal to him alone. Everyone had a long sword tightly in their hands.

"kill!"

Liu Yan let out a loud shout and took the first step of running towards the south gate of Wancheng.

Behind him were three hundred swords running wildly.

In half an hour, the seven thousand Chongling Army led by Liu Xiu will arrive. Before that, they must seize the South Gate and guard firmly until the moment when the Chongling Army rushes into the city gate.

Under such an inadvertent raid, the soldiers guarding the city would never be the opponent of these Rangers and Swordsmen.

Run wildly, run wildly, run wildly.

The city gate was near. The next moment, it would be a storm-like assault, snatching the city gate from the hands of the defenders, opening the passage for Liu Xiu to enter the city.

There were a thousand defenders at the South Gate, but at night, except for dozens of soldiers on duty, the rest were resting in the deputy camp next to the city gate. As long as you could control the city gate first and then break into the deputy camp, the defenders who were still sleeping would never have thought that there would be such a surprise soldier in the city.

However, when Liu Yan ran under the city gate, his heart was thrilled.

He was terrified to find that both on the city tower and inside the city gate were empty, and there was no soldier guarding the city.

No one.

Liu Yan slowly slowed down and walked under the city gate. He saw that there was indeed no one guarding the city gate, only one gate gate, which was above two doors.

He walked slowly, lifted the door gate, and pushed it harder.

The south gate of Wancheng, Nanyang, one of the five cities in the world, was already opened.

Why is this happening...?

Even though their plan to raise an army tonight has been completely hidden enough, even if there are twelve hours at the city gate, there will never be a shortage of guard soldiers for a moment.

why is that?

...

Liu Xiu held the reins tightly, sucked the mount under his crotch hard, and rushed towards the city gate of Wancheng. Liu Ji rode his horse and followed him closely, looking around carefully with his eyes.

Behind them, everyone from the Liu clan and the seven thousand Chongling Army were closely followed.

In the past three years, in addition to following his uncle Liu Liang to recruit troops and train soldiers, Liu Xiu himself was also constantly training his equestrian and skills. Although he was still not an expert, at least in the army, he no longer needed the protection of others.

My brother... succeeded!

When he saw the open city gate, Liu Xiu's heart was already pounding rapidly and he accelerated his pace again.

The south gate of Wancheng was indeed taken away by his brother! Liu Xiu whipped the horse whip again and galloped towards the city gate.

Victory is already near.

"Brother, everything goes well?"

He saw his brother standing under the city gate from afar. Liu Xiu rode his horse over happily. Before he could get close, he called out loudly.

"It's just a little... it's too smooth." Liu Yan's face was extremely gloomy. Half an hour passed, and Liu Xiu had arrived in Wancheng, but the expected fierce battle for the city gate did not happen from beginning to end.

"What's going on? What about the defenders?" Liu Xiu strangled the horse hard and looked around in surprise. There was no blood, nor any signs of fighting, as if there had never been a battle here.

Inside the city gate, there were three hundred knights and swordsmen. However, the defenders who were supposed to appear here were nowhere to be seen.

"I don't know. It's a bit weird." Liu Yan frowned and shook his head, turned over and rode on another empty horse brought by Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu arrived very on time, just the time he had been scheduled. Half an hour had passed since Liu Yan arrived at the South Gate, but he had not seen a soldier or soldier coming.

However, what made him a little relieved was that at least Liu Xiu had already led the Chongling Army to Wancheng and successfully passed through the city gate.

"So...what should we do next, brother?" Liu Xiu looked at Liu Yan and frowned.

Liu Yan's face was cold and meditating.

The original plan was that Liu Yan would take these three hundred rangers and swordsmen to seize the city gate and wait for half an hour to counterattack and welcome Liu Xiu's arrival. After that, the seven thousand soldiers brought by Liu Xiu should become the new force and fight with the defenders.

At the same time, in the prefect's mansion, the 400 swordsmen led by Ren Guang will also launch a raid at the same time and take down the head of the city guard Zhang Fang. When Zhang Fang's head is sent to the city gate, the morale of the defenders will collapse and flee.

Liu Yan had already investigated the defenders in the city very clearly. Not far from the prefect of the north of the city, there were 5,000 infantrymen stationed. In the southwest, there were 1,500 cavalry stationed. Four city gates, east, west, south and north, each guarded day and night.

In the original plan, as long as the 7,000 soldiers brought by Liu Xiu could enter the city gate smoothly, it would not be difficult to hold on until Zhang Fang was killed and sent to him at the head. The top priority of this plan is to ensure that the city gate can be captured and kept for half an hour.

Now that the city gate has been taken down, the Chongling Army brought by Liu Xiu has also entered the city, but the question is... where is the defenders now?

Not only was there no defenders at the city gate, but even the deputy camp not far from the city gate was empty and there was no one in the figure.

"Axiu, you and Liu Ji come with me with the cavalry to the prefect's mansion. The rest of the people... defended on the spot at the city gate." Liu Yan thought for a while, shook the reins, and rushed out first.

The prefect's mansion is in the north of the city. At this moment, it should be the moment when the other 400 swordsmen attacked the prefect's mansion and took down Zhang Fang's head. There was no defender in the south gate, so what kind of scene would the prefect's mansion be there?

Seeing Liu Yan galloping north with his horse, Liu Xiu hurriedly explained a few words, followed closely behind him, and galloped along the street towards the direction of the prefect of the north of the city. The only five hundred cavalry in the Chongling Army followed closely behind him under the leadership of Liu Ji.

I had already seen the prefect's mansion from afar, but Liu Yan's heart became more and more serious.

The atmosphere was too calm. The prefect's mansion in front was brightly lit, so you could see clearly from afar, and even the door of the mansion was wide open. But... Where are the four hundred rangers who were originally scheduled to break into the mansion and kill Zhang Fang, the city guard, now?

After gritting his teeth, Liu Yan didn't even bother to think about so much. Now that things have come, no matter what is ahead, he can only bare the bullet and break through.

"Welcome, welcome. Liu's rebels were indeed very punctual."

He rode his horse first and rushed into the prefect's mansion. The first voice that Liu Yan heard was a calm male voice.

A man in his thirties stood under the eaves of the government office with his hands behind his back, with a contemptuous smile on his face, looking at Liu Yan at the gate of the courtyard.

He dressed in a scribe, with a long blue robe and a tall crown and a big sleeve. There was a row of short moustaches on his upper lip, and his eyes were full of mightiness and mightyness.

But in front of him was a case table. Above the case table, a head was placed straight.

The head was covered in blood, and the dim light could not be seen clearly.

That's...who?

Except for the man and the head in front of him, the courtyard was empty and there was no one to see. He was alone, his eyes crossing the entire courtyard, and he looked at Liu Yan who was standing at the door.

The four hundred swordsmen who went to the prefect's mansion and Ren Guang, who led them, were still missing at this time, and it seemed as if they had disappeared from this world.

A huge premonition suddenly appeared in Liu Yan's heart.
