Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Chapter 354: There are thieves everywhere

When the defenders on the city wall shouted in fear, the soldiers and civilians below the city immediately panicked.

The soldiers in charge of opening and closing the city gates hurriedly tried to push the gate, but the people were crowding in frantically and they couldn't close it at all.

In just a few breaths, the Tang army had already rushed to the city gate.

"Oh!"

The war horses broke through the crowded crowd and charged straight into the city.

More than a dozen soldiers under the city were pierced through the body by the spears of the Tang cavalry in the same encounter.

Qin Huaidao, who had rushed a hundred steps into the city, quickly turned his horse's head and gave orders to the soldiers around him.

"Rush up to the city wall and destroy the enemy troops there!"

"We must guard the crossbows on the city wall and prevent him from causing damage to our main force!"

As an important city in the north of Baekje, Xiongjin City needed to resist the invasion of Goguryeo from the south, so a large number of crossbows were installed on each side of the city wall.

If the defenders of Xiongjin City pulled the crossbows, they would not need to aim, they only needed to shoot in the direction of the army to cause casualties.

"promise!"

More than thirty cavalrymen quickly rode their horses to the inner wall, then dismounted and rushed up along the wall ladder.

At this moment, the enemy troops stationed on the city wall also struck the gong.

"Dong Dong~"

The loud sound of gongs rang out from the four city walls, instantly resounding over the sky above Xiongjin City.

"what's the situation?"

"Is it the Tang army or the Goguryeo army that is attacking us?"

The soldiers and civilians in Xiongjin City ran out of the wooden houses one after another, and they started talking about it with horror on their faces.

In the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

A middle-aged general with a short beard and a sturdy build, upon hearing the warning of an enemy attack, he quickly stood up from his luxurious bed.

Without any hesitation, he ran to the rack and put on the armor.

On the bed, there was a young and beautiful woman with disheveled clothes. She propped herself up and asked in confusion.

"General, the sound of a gong suddenly rang out. Is it the Tang army that is attacking us?"

The middle-aged general had no intention of appreciating this erotic scene.

While quickly putting on his armor, he responded in a deep voice: "It's not clear yet. You stay in bed obediently. I will be back soon."

As he spoke, he had already put on his armor, and then grabbed a broadsword over ten feet long from the shelf.

The beautiful woman said in a tender voice: "General, you must come back soon. I have to go back later. Otherwise, if that damned devil comes back from duty and doesn't see me, he will definitely be suspicious."

"Hehe." The middle-aged general laughed twice, and then said with expectation: "Don't worry, beauty, I will be back within half an hour."

When he walked out of the courtyard holding a big knife, a big-mouthed general wearing black armor came running over in a hurry.

"General Yun, something bad has happened!"

"Tang Army...Tang Army cavalry has entered the city!"

Yunzhong's tough expression changed, and the hand holding the big knife clenched unconsciously.

He asked anxiously, "From which city gate did the Tang army enter? How many troops did they have?"

The loudmouthed general quickly replied: "Reporting to General Yun, the Tang army entered from four city gates, but there are only a few hundred cavalry at each gate."

Hearing that hundreds of Tang cavalry were about to attack the city gate, a nameless anger arose in Yunzhong's heart.

He shouted angrily: "Which general was in charge of defending the city last night? He couldn't even resist a few hundred cavalrymen!"

The soldiers responsible for guarding the city were replaced twice in two days. Now it is not time for the rotation, so the soldiers responsible for guarding the city are still the same ones from last night.

The loudmouthed general whispered, "General, the person on duty last night was Cui Dali, and you personally arranged for him to be on duty."

"It's not General Cui's fault. The Tang army is too cunning. They took advantage of the opportunity when the city gates were just opened and the people were leaving the city, and rushed in."

He was very confused at the moment. It was General Yun who clearly asked Cui Dali to guard the city yesterday. How come he forgot about it after sleeping for a night?

It must be that General Yun heard that the Tang army was attacking the city, he panicked for a moment, and then forgot about it.

That must be it!

When Yunzhong heard that Cui Dali was in charge of defending the city, his expression froze.

He looked back at the tightly closed door of the room, and when he thought of the erotic scene last night, his heart suddenly felt hot.

There was silence for a few moments.

Yunzhong licked his lips and said, "According to what you said, Cui Dali can't be blamed!"

"The general is wise."

The loud-mouthed general quickly clasped his fists and said.

He also felt relieved that his good friend Cui Dali could finally avoid punishment.

The sounds of gongs from all directions stopped one after another, and Yunzhong's face changed.

He said in a deep voice: "General Yang, the hundreds of cavalrymen who attacked the city are the vanguard of the Tang army. Their main force must be on the way!"

"You must lead your troops to destroy the Tang cavalry that are entering the city and close the city gates quickly."

"This general will go to the camp now and mobilize the army to defend the city!"

Yunzhong was able to become one of the tridents of Baekje because his command ability and personal bravery were among the best in Baekje.

This is also the reason why Baekje King Buyeo Uija sent him to guard the important city of Ungjin.

"As ordered!"

The big-mouthed general clasped his fists and left quickly.

After half a cup of tea.

Under Yunzhong's command, the 2 defenders of Xiongjin City quickly ran towards the four city gates.

Just then, a short but strong-looking young general rushed in on a fast horse.

He shouted loudly as he spurred his horse forward.

"General Yun, the main cavalry of the Tang army has entered the city!"

"The four city gates have been lost, and the Tang army is rushing towards the main camp!"

The main force of the Tang army has entered the city?

Upon hearing the bad news, Yunzhong and the soldiers around him were all stunned.

It's been less than half a quarter of an hour since then, and the main force of the Tang army has already rushed in?

How close did their hiding place have to be to Xiongjin City to be able to rush in such a short time?

Yunzhong said sternly, "Cui Dali, how did you defend the city?"

"The main force of the Tang army was hiding right under our noses, and you didn't even notice it!"

"What a useless piece of trash!"

Yunzhong's words were double entendre. He not only meant that Cui Dali was a waste in terms of military talent, but also that he was a waste at home.

As soon as Cui Dali reined in his horse and walked up to Yunzhong, he was scolded. He was so scared that he kept lowering his head and dared not look Yunzhong in the eye.

"Humph!"

Yunzhong snorted heavily, then gave orders to the other generals.

"Follow this general to deal with the Tang army!"

After saying that, he glanced at Cui Dali coldly, then holding the big knife in one hand, he spurred his horse and rushed quickly towards the north gate.

Cui Dali stood there in a daze, his expression changing from gloomy to bright.

After a long time, his face suddenly changed and he said.

"Jianjia is still at home, I have to go and comfort her!"
