My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it

Chapter 59 All troops, listen! Attack the city!

The soldier smiled bitterly. He was so unfilial, his mother must not want to know any news about him. Just a glance would be enough.

"I still owe my friend a jar of wine and two taels of silver. My friend is very stingy. If I don't pay him back, he will probably remember me for the rest of his life." Someone laughed. He had originally planned not to pay it back, but now it seems he has to pay it back.

"..."

The ten men stepped forward one by one and stated their last wishes. The remaining generals behind them were all choking with sobs, gritting their teeth and with red eyes. At this moment, the issue of life and death seemed to become extremely clear.

Zong Yanli accepted their things, stared at them calmly and said: "Now this general asks you, what else do you wish for!"

The men paused, then said with a determined look, "My name should be on the Ghost Camp roster!"

"My name should be on the Ghost Camp roster!"

“No fear of life or death!”

The soaring morale at that moment was awe-inspiring. Zong Yanli personally watched Bai Xiuyun and the ten men who had changed their clothes and hidden their armor go away. His gaze was so distant that it seemed as if he could see through time and space. Why should he fear life or death?

At 3 p.m., the gate of Dongning City really opened. Zong Yanli stood behind the hill and watched the direction of the gate. Seeing that the caravan entered the city smoothly without any disturbance, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Bai Xiuyun and others had achieved the first step.

Peng Deqing's troops arrived at sunset. In order to avoid being discovered by spies, they stopped a little further back and rested on the spot.

"The deployment of troops has been completed." Zong Yanli met with Peng Deqing and informed him of his arrangements.

Peng Deqing seemed to be hesitant to speak, frowned slightly and sighed, but in the end he didn't say much. He didn't think that relying on Zong Yanli's so-called ten people to enter the city would have much effect. He just silently hoped that the defenders in Dongning City were all old, weak and disabled soldiers.

Five thousand...

How to win?

Peng Deqing and Zong Yanli began the final step of the siege deployment. Zong Yanli volunteered to be the vanguard and said, "There is no need to climb the ladder. The terrain of Dongning City is relatively flat, and the city wall is less than six meters long."

Dongning City is not an important border defense of Nankang, so the construction of the border defense is a bit crude. At least in the previous life, the Wu State had no intention of attacking Dongning City. Dongning City is located in a place where reinforcements can come from all directions, and it is a waste of manpower to attack it.

Peng Deqing's heart skipped a beat when he heard Zong Yanli's words. He was a little unsure and asked, "Even if it's a six-meter wall, it's impossible to jump up with human power. How did you climb the wall?"

"General, just wait for my rockets as a signal to attack the city." Zong Yanli smiled. The soldiers under her command were already very skilled in using grappling hooks to mine boulders and climb cliffs. However, if the hooks were used as ropes, they would be easily cut, and if they were used as chains, they would be too heavy.

Ordinary soldiers could not shake it off at all, but Zong Yanli, their general, had a strength comparable to that of Hercules, and he could easily throw the chain onto the city wall.

Under the starry night.

The soldiers formed groups of three or five and began to move towards Dongning City from all directions.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, they moved quickly, or raised their shields to form a circle to disguise themselves as stones. The guards on the city gate blinked and said in confusion: "When did such a big stone roll down from the slope?"

"Where is the stone?" The person next to him looked carefully, but saw nothing. He immediately sneered and said, "You have been drinking secretly, haven't you?"

"Eh——!" The guard blinked in confusion. He clearly saw it just now!

"Hurry up and wash your face to wake up. If the general catches you drinking secretly, be careful of the beating." The person next to him motioned for him to go quickly.

The military guard was a little confused. Is his alcohol tolerance so poor?

Even though I just had two drinks, I shouldn't be so confused, right?

The soldier was worried that his drunkenness would be discovered, so he turned around to wash his face and drink some water. However, as soon as he turned around, he heard a "clang" sound. The sound was very clear in the quiet night, as if something fell on the city wall.

The soldier stopped, looked around in confusion, took a step forward to the depression in the city wall, and saw the claw that was firmly grasping the wall.

All of a sudden, I felt my brain buzzing, and I almost screamed out loud: "Enemy attack——!"

Swish-!

The moment the shout fell, a figure suddenly jumped up from below, and the tip of the spear easily cut the guard's throat.

"Enemy attack--!" Roars were heard one after another, and at the same time, hooks and chains were thrown onto the city wall one after another from below.

"Someone is attacking the city!" The guard swung his sword in panic and tried to cut off the hook, but when he chopped it down, he heard the clanging sound of the sword hitting the chain. His face changed drastically: "The hook is a chain! It can't be cut!"

“Archer——!”

The swift-moving soldiers of the Ghost Camp, seeing the archers on the city wall, grabbed the iron chain with one hand and pulled out a shield from behind with the other hand to block. After the archers retreated, they climbed up again in an orderly and neat manner.

As the soldiers jumped onto the city wall one after another and rushed forward, the defenders on the Dongning city screamed in panic as if they had seen a ghost.

Zong Yanli, who had thrown the last chain onto the city wall below, breathed a long sigh of relief, then set up the crossbow, ignited the rocket, and pulled the crossbow with great force to shoot it into the sky.

Rockets for faith, kill!

Outside the city, Peng Deqing saw the rockets and suddenly drew his sword: "All troops, listen up! Attack the city!"

When the siege horn sounded, Huang Yimin suddenly stood up from the woman, completely naked, and shouted angrily: "What happened!?"

"Report——!"

"General! The enemy is attacking the city! They have already climbed onto the city wall!"

Huang Yimin's expression suddenly changed: "Useless! Who is the enemy here!?"

The soldier below reported: "Looks like, looks like the soldiers of Wu State!"

Huang Yimin's eyes darkened, and he frowned and said, "The Wu Kingdom and our main army are fighting in Shouxi County, so how could they attack the city?"

"How many soldiers have arrived?" Huang Yimin asked while putting on his clothes.

"About a thousand soldiers and less than two thousand horses." The soldier in the lower position said again, in a somewhat hurried tone: "But the attacking army is fierce, and our army has been defeated one after another!"

"Only a thousand soldiers dare to attack the city! What a joke!" Huang Yimin's tense heart relaxed, and he thought it was ridiculous and said, "We will just surround and kill those who climbed up the city wall!"

"Report——!"

Just when Huang Yimin was breathing a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard a soldier rushing in to report: "General! There are rioters burning and killing people in the city! The granaries are on fire everywhere, and the horses in the cavalry camp are frightened and running out!"

Huang Yimin's eyes suddenly widened: "Why are there rebels in the city?!"

The soldier said in panic, "Yes, the enemy troops of Wu State have been lying in wait for a long time!"

"Asshole!" Huang Yimin raised his foot and kicked the man to the ground, cursing angrily: "Give me my armor!"

By the time Huang Yimin put on his armor and took up his sword and appeared on the city wall, Zong Yanli had already climbed up to the tower, and everyone in the ghost camp was covered in blood.

Huang Yimin originally thought that they were just ordinary siege soldiers. You know, most of the soldiers who climbed the city walls were lightly equipped, just to climb up the wall quickly. Who would have thought that these soldiers who attacked the city were not only heavily armored, but also carried large shields on their backs.

How can you climb the city wall with such a heavy load?!

The city walls were littered with corpses. As many people as came up as there were killed. Those soldiers were like monsters who were not afraid of death!

The way they swung their swords and chopped was truly terrifying. Everyone had a ghost mask on their face, and they looked as ferocious as killer ghosts that had been born. The defenders in Dongning City were so frightened!

Before Huang Yimin had time to take care of the soldiers on the city wall, he turned around and saw fire in the city. War horses were actually fleeing in the streets. The army formation was difficult to form as they were all broken up by the mad horses. Some were even trampled to death by the horses!

At this moment, shouts of killing were heard outside the city. The city gate was being hit and the enemy army was already at the gate.

It was supposed to be just a thousand men attacking the city, which would have been funny to anyone, but Huang Yimin felt the panic of being in danger at this moment. He suddenly drew the long sword from his waist and shouted angrily: "Hold on!"

"Kill the mad warhorse immediately!" It's easy to say, because warhorses are inherently brave and even if they go mad, they need to find a way to stop them. But now they are facing an army attacking the city, how can they spare manpower to stop the horses?

"It's over, we're finished..." The army was already on the verge of defeat. The soldier holding the spear looked at the enemies from all sides, his face full of dejection.

"No retreat!" Seeing that the people on the city wall had been killed and forced to retreat, Huang Yimin suddenly jumped up and killed the soldiers who dared to retreat with a knife, thereby arousing the fear of the soldiers and making them dare not retreat again.

How could those soldiers listen?

Huang Yimin was just shouting, but he just stood behind the soldiers with a knife in his hand. On the other hand, the enemy general, Zong Yanli stabbed the enemy's chest with a knife, drew out the long knife in his hand fiercely, stood beside the soldiers, the long knife in his hand was stained with blood, and advanced and retreated with his soldiers!

Huang Yimin's throat was dry as he watched the city gate being smashed open. He thought something was wrong and immediately turned around to escape.

Unexpectedly, just as he turned around, an icy arrow shot from the side and back in the night sky, piercing Huang Yimin's neck with incredible precision, piercing him through!

Huang Yimin suddenly opened his eyes wide and his gaze moved upwards little by little. He never expected that the arrow came from the direction of his room. There was a figure squatting on the roof, and it was Bai Xiuyun.

And in front of the corridor at the entrance stood a woman of extraordinary beauty, with a quiver at her side, which contained the arrows from Huang Yimin's room.

original……

It turned out that the place where the rebel army in the city was hiding was under his eaves!

"The enemy commander is dead!"

"kill--!"

The moment Peng Deqing led his troops into the city, he saw the body of Huang Yimin who was kicked down by Zong Yanli. Zong Yanli actually occupied the city wall with only 300 soldiers. Zong Yanli swung his sword to cut off the military flag on the city wall, and then planted our military flag with great force.

The military flag fluttered in the wind under the illumination of the fire. Peng Deqing felt his chest beating violently and his throat rolling. At this moment, he seemed to be looking up at Zong Yanli who was standing next to the military flag.

Zong Yanli...

It's really scary.

The speed at which Dongning City was captured was beyond expectations, and all 5,000 soldiers in the city were killed.

As the sun rose, the sounds of killing in the city gradually subsided, leaving only broken limbs and debris on the ground, and the brand new military flag fluttering.

During the siege, 68 of Zong Yanli's soldiers were killed or wounded, and of the ten who had ambushed in the city, only three were left.

This was the most casualties since the Ghost Camp went out to fight, but it was also the most heroic one, with only 300 soldiers attacking the city and achieving a great victory!

It should be recorded in history!

While collecting the bodies of the soldiers, Zong Yanli raised the wine bowl in his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Zong Yanli, I will send you off."

"Take back their visors and let them go on their journey with a clear record." Zong Yanli put down the wine bowl, turned around and said.

"One day, their visors will be passed on to the next person to join the Ghost Camp."

"Iron armor covers my face. I follow your will and enter the ghost camp."

The survivors looked at Zong Yanli's back, thinking with some relief that it was fortunate that they were wearing masks, so no one could see them crying or laughing, which was great.

Zong Yanli was also injured. He found a room and took off his armor. He lowered his eyes and was wrapping the wound on his arm with gauze.

Bai Xiuyun said outside the door: "General, General Peng invites you to come over."

Zong Yanli paused and said, "I understand."

She kept silent, lowered her eyes and simply bandaged the wound. When she took the long sword and went out, Bai Xiuyun saw the wound on Zong Yanli's arm at a glance and immediately stepped forward and asked, "General, are you injured? Is it serious?"

"No problem." Zong Yanli turned around and said, "Wen Nian should be injured as well. Have you sent someone to check on him?"

"I've checked. He was stabbed in the waist, abdomen and chest, and is still unconscious." This time it's not that he's crazy and not conscious, but that he's injured and lost too much blood.

To be honest, Bai Xiuyun was quite grateful.

Fortunately, it turns out that Wen Nian is not invincible and can be injured under the swords.

Zong Yanli frowned slightly and nodded, without asking any more questions, he went straight to Peng Deqing's room. This was originally Huang Yimin's military tent, but now that it had been occupied, it naturally became Peng Deqing's military tent. He heard that Peng Deqing had cleaned out a lot of dirty things before he was willing to come in.

When Zong Yanli arrived, in addition to Peng Deqing, there were two women kneeling at the bottom of the tent.

"Greetings, General Peng." Zong Yanli bowed.

"You're here." Peng Deqing's attitude towards Zong Yanli had changed drastically. He smiled at her and said, "There are too many women in Huang Yimin's tent. This general is having a headache about how to deal with them. Those who are willing to leave have been released, but there are still some who are homeless."

Peng Deqing was simply speechless. No wonder the city was captured so quickly. How could such a ridiculous general defending the city, who was obsessed with women all day and didn't train his soldiers well, defend the city?

When he learned that Huang Yimin had just climbed up from a woman when he was attacking the city, he felt even more disgusted and nauseated, and he didn't have a good face towards these women.

"You have made the greatest contribution in this siege, so I'll leave it to you to decide what to do with these women." Peng Deqing said this to Zong Yanli and went out. There were many matters in the city waiting for him to settle, so he naturally didn't bother to take care of these women.

"..." Zong Yanli was silent for a while.

"I beg for mercy, General. I am homeless and have no relatives in this world." The two people kneeling on the ground were Huang Yimin's concubines, Lianying and Huarui.
