A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Chapter 265: Attacking the Tower

The distance of three miles was not too far. In less than two quarters of an hour, Tongning City was already in sight.

The gates of Tongning City were closed and the surroundings were silent. There were faint lights flickering on the city walls, but no one was seen standing guard.

I don’t know if it was because the weather was too cold, but the soldiers guarding the city all went indoors, or if they felt that Tongning City was already in their hands and thus relaxed their vigilance.

Shen Qingqian asked everyone to stay where they were, and she, Zhiqing Zhizhu, Zhou Qi, and Yang Zhong went to investigate the situation.

Yingzi also wanted to go along, but Shen Qingqian said, "You need to stay and cover us. If we are discovered, we will send you a signal, and then you can all shoot arrows together to cover our departure."

Yingzi understood and did not insist any more. She just said, "Okay, then you guys be careful."

Shen Qingqian divided the five of them into two teams. She and Zhiqing Zhizhu formed one team, and Zhou Qi and Yang Zhong formed another team. They approached the city gate from the left and right sides respectively.

All the way to the bottom of the city wall was smooth, but Shen Qingqian still did not dare to take it lightly. She picked up an egg-sized stone from the ground and threw it towards the top of the city wall.

Then, together with Zhiqing Zhizhu, he ran back along the city wall for more than twenty steps and hid himself.

Although the night wind was a bit strong, the sound of the stone hitting the ground was still very clear.

Sure enough, there was movement on the tower. Four or five soldiers came out, holding torches and looking around, but found nothing.

One of them yawned and said, “It’s probably because of the strong night wind that something was blown to the ground.

Another person said, "But we can't see anything on the ground. Could there be someone there? Otherwise, let's assign a few people to stand guard!"

"Hey! What could be the problem? Right now, Dai Viet's army is trapped in Xiangyun Town by our army and can't get out. Who could we have here?

Let’s go back! Let’s continue playing!”

"Yes, yes! The Dai Viet army has been defeated by us. Maybe in a few days, Xiangyun Town will be ours!"

"Haha, hahaha..."

The group of people went back talking and laughing.

These arrogant words did not have any effect on the people under the city wall. After all, the one who laughs last is the king.

"Gu, Gu Gu..."

Shen Qingqian put her finger to her lips and imitated the sound of a bird three times. This was the secret signal she, Zhou Qi, and Yang Zhong had agreed on, indicating that they could now go up to the tower.

Several of them were very good at light work. They were as light as a swallow and their movements were agile and nimble. They jumped onto the city wall without making any sound.

Shen Qingqian and the other two were faster and they climbed up the city wall first.

Zhou Qi and Yang Zhong were only one step behind them and also came up steadily. However, they did not stay in the same place.

There are seven or eight rooms on the tower, connected in a row, with a lantern hanging under the eaves of each room.

Although Shen Qingqian and the other two were quite far away from Zhou Qi and Yang Zhong, they could see each other clearly.

They did not dare to take it lightly and remained highly vigilant, always paying attention to any movement around them.

Shen Qingqian wondered in her heart, are there soldiers hiding in every room? She couldn't be sure about this.

Therefore, she decided to break into each house one by one to check the situation. Once she found soldiers hiding in them, she would quickly take action to eliminate them.

Shen Qingqian gestured to Zhou Qi and Yang Zhong, signaling them to charge into the house from another direction. The three of them chose to start from this side, each approaching the middle from both sides.

Shen Qingqian and the other two quietly approached the first room so as not to alert the enemy. They pushed the door open very gently and then rushed in at the same time.

There were indeed people inside, but they were not lying in ambush. Instead, they were all sleeping soundly.

Shen Qingqian and the other two quickly exchanged glances, and instantly took action to cover the mouths of the sleeping people, and then cut their necks with a knife. The whole set of actions was smooth and there was no sound.

After dealing with the people in this room, they quietly left the room and continued to approach the second room.

The second room was empty. After taking a quick look, they walked out.

The third room was where the few people who had come out to check the situation were.

As Shen Qingqian and Zhiqing Zhizhu approached the door, they heard a woman's screams and a man's lewd laughter from inside.

The expressions of Shen Qingqian and the other two suddenly turned ugly, because they had already guessed what was happening inside!

The three of them did not hold back and kicked the door open!

Even though they were mentally prepared, the scene in the room still almost suffocated Shen Qingqian and the other two.

The room was very large. On one side of the room were squatting more than a dozen young women, all with their hands and feet tied and rags stuffed in their mouths.

On the other side, four Beirong soldiers were naked, each of them holding a woman... The scene was unbearable to watch.

A surge of anger hit Shen Qingqian's head! She had just heard them talking under the tower, saying they wanted to go back and continue "playing!"

She thought they were playing cards or something, but it turns out they were talking about this!

These beasts! She, Shen Qingqian, must torture them to death today!

Zhiqing and Zhizhu's faces also changed, but they were unmarried girls after all. Although they were angry, they turned their heads away at the first moment.

When several Beirong soldiers saw Shen Qingqian and the other two, they were stunned for a moment, then their eyes lit up.

Although they didn't know where Shen Qingqian and the other two came from, when they saw that they were girls, and such beautiful girls at that, they didn't think too much about it. Anyway, the girls here would become their playthings!

Shen Qingqian did not hesitate any longer and pressed the switch of the crossbow on his wrist several times.

She deliberately did not hit the beasts' vital points, but instead shot through their hands and legs.

"what!"

"Ah! Ah!"

Several Beirong soldiers fell to the ground in pain, and their screams echoed throughout the room and the night sky.

The sound quickly attracted soldiers from several other rooms.

At the same time, Zhou Qi and Yang Zhong were also attracted.

Now, they were completely exposed to each other.

However, Shen Qingqian's anger had reached its peak at this moment. She no longer had the patience to launch a sneak attack. She wanted to kill all the Beirong soldiers here!

Yang Zhong and Zhou Qi frowned when they saw this scene.

There were thirty or forty Beirong soldiers who rushed over. Although they didn't know how these people got up on the city wall, they were still their enemies after all.

Almost instantly, the two sides started fighting.

However, the women who were rescued were all filled with shame and anger. One of them crossed her arms and trembled constantly, while another stared at the roof with empty eyes, looking as if she had lost all hope in life.

The other two were even more extreme and directly crashed into the pillars.

Shen Qingqian and a few others were fighting with these Beirong soldiers, and for a moment they were unable to spare the time to stop them.

This made both of them successfully hit the pillar. Shen Qingqian felt heartbroken again, and his movements against the Beirong soldiers became more agile and deadly.

I just hope the two women aren’t that strong and can still be saved!
