Chapter 319: Gaining the Upper Hand

At the same moment when Chen Haishi, the chief general of Fei County, left the Beicheng Tower, Shen Guang, who was hiding in a small alley next to the North City Gate, led dozens of subordinates to walk out of the alley and strode towards the city gate.

The basis of this operation was that he had collected a lot of intelligence, and he knew that Ninghai Restaurant was Chen Haishi's property and an important symbol of Fei County, and that lighting Ninghai Mansion could be used as a signal and to attract the attention of the enemy.

At this time, his plan had reached the last step, to seize the city gate, in fact, the success of Shen Guang's plan also had some fluke elements, such as seizing the computer room in the North City Tower, they almost fell into the sun.

Shen Guang and his forty men wore leather armor and iron helmets, which was completely different from the cloth armor worn by the thieves' soldiers, and only Sun Xuanya's personal guards would have this kind of equipment.

They strode to the city gate, Shen Guang shook an arrow, and shouted: "I have come to take over the city gate by General Chen's order, and you can go back to the barracks!" ”

There are about more than 100 guards on the ground at the North City Gate, and they are also led by a captain, this captain was stunned, he was intimidated by Shen Guang's momentum, he didn't dare to offend, and hurriedly said: "I didn't receive a notice of changing the guard, this special situation should be a report from General Chen's personal soldiers, may I ask your Excellencyβ€”"

He saw that the armor the other party was wearing was different from theirs, and his heart was even more puzzled.

Shen Guang secretly admired Chen Haishi for being thoughtful and plugging this loophole, he was just about to reprimand the captain, at this moment, a rapid alarm bell suddenly sounded from the city, and at the same time, the soldiers in the city cave shouted, "Why did the city gate open?" ”

The gate is opened by the machine room at the head of the city. But the soldiers below can use the iron bolt to lock the gate to death, and the gate cannot be opened in the machine room at the door, which is also the reason why Shen Guang and they must seize the city gate hole.

Shen Guang's face changed, it would be too late if they didn't make a move, he suddenly roared, and the battle knife in his hand flashed. The captain on the opposite side was looking back at the city gate, and he didn't pay attention to Shen Guang, and his head was slashed off by a knife, blood spurted out, and his body fell to the ground.

The subordinates behind Shen Guang shouted together, swinging their spears and killing the soldiers in the city cave, and the city gate was suddenly in chaos.

The main general Chen Haishi had just run hundreds of steps, and suddenly heard the alarm bell from the city, and he suddenly woke up. The fire in Ninghai Restaurant was a signal for the Sui army to attack, and it was not an accident.

"Oh no, I've been tricked."

He shouted, turned his horse's head and shouted: "The Sui army is about to attack, and the whole army is ordered to go to the city to defend!" ”

Several heralds rushed to the camp in the east city, and Chen Haishi urged the war horse and led more than 100 soldiers to rush to the north city gate, less than 100 steps away from the north city gate. saw a fierce battle in front of the North City Gate from a distance, and Chen Haishi was furious. With a wave of the sword, "Kill!" ”

A hundred soldiers raised their spears and rushed towards the north city gate, but when they were still twenty or thirty steps away from the north city gate, a dense number of arrows fell from the sky, and his own soldiers could not dodge and were shot by arrows. Suddenly there was a scream.

At this time, the Sui army outside the northern city launched a bow and crossbow battle, and 3,000 people fired arrows at the head of the northern city, and some of the arrows crossed the city tower and landed on the streets of the city, killing the soldiers by surprise.

More than 30 of the 100 soldiers were killed or wounded. The rest of the soldiers were so frightened that they stumbled back and fled, Chen Haishi was suddenly shocked and angry, but he couldn't do anything for a while.

At this moment, there was an earth-shattering impact sound at the north city gate, and the thunderous impact sound resounded throughout the city, and the city gate that was slowly opening was slammed open by a huge impact force, and more than a dozen soldiers behind the city gate were knocked out and flew out.

Hundreds of Sui soldiers rushed into the city gate with stout battering rams, and a shout of killing suddenly broke out outside the city, and 5,000 Sui troops rushed to the north gate under the leadership of Zhang Xuan.

In the city tower, hundreds of thief soldiers are also hitting the iron door of the machine room, the iron door has been seriously deformed, seeing that it was knocked open, five soldiers in the machine room have pulled out their knives, ready to fight to the death with the thief army, at this moment, a muffled thunderous impact sound sounded under their feet, the entire city tower shook violently, the soldiers stood unsteadily, fell to the ground, and some soldiers shouted: "The Sui army has entered the city, run!" ”

The soldier's heart collapsed in an instant, the soldiers in the city tower rushed to flee outside, many people were squeezed down and trampled, crying, screaming, the impact of the iron door of the machine room stopped, the five Sui soldiers looked at each other, and immediately hugged each other excitedly, crying with joy, they finally succeeded

The crossbow shooting outside the city stopped, and five thousand Sui soldiers followed Zhang Xuan into the north city gate, Zhang Xuan took the lead and met Chen Haishi, the chief general of the thief army, Chen Haishi recognized the strange weapon of the general opposite, and immediately shivered, he suddenly roared, and waved his knife to kill Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan sneered, and waved his halberd, 'Dang! With a loud bang, the halberd knife collided with the opponent's broadsword, and the sixty-pound broadsword "Whoosh!" At this time, Zhang Xuan's war horse had rushed to his side, he held the halberd in his left hand, grabbed the opponent's stumbling armor with his right hand, grabbed Chen Haishi off the horse, and fell heavily to the ground, "Tie me up!" ”

Several pro-soldiers rushed up and pressed Chen Haishi to the ground, Chen Haishi sighed and closed his eyes in pain, he thought that the city built like an iron wall was broken overnight.

Shen Guang ran up and saluted, "See the general!" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded, "This time to capture Fei County, the first merit of the scout battalion, I will reward it heavily!" ”

"Thank you, General!"

Shen Guangyi pointed at Chen Haishi, "This person is Chen Haishi, the chief general of Fei County." ”

Zhang Xuan looked at this person again, and saw that he was holding his head high, unyielding, and quite a bit righteous, so he smiled at him and said: "I heard that General Chen is from Fei County, why don't you order the soldiers to evacuate Fei County, so that the people of the county will suffer from the military disaster, and as for General Chen, I can also let you go." ”

Chen Haishi glanced at Zhang Xuan in surprise, "Are you serious?" ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, "The parents of the people are soldiers, what are you a little enemy general?" ”

"Good! I promise. ”

Zhang Xuan immediately ordered: "Let him go!" ”

Shen Guang was shocked, "General, you can't-"

Zhang Xuan waved his hand, stopped Shen Guang, and ordered: "Return the war horses and weapons to him." ”

The soldiers returned the war horse and the broadsword to Chen Haishi, Chen Haishi glanced at Zhang Xuan with complicated eyes, hugged his fists and saluted, turned his horse's head and ran towards the south city gate, shouting: "Pass my order, the whole army retreats!" ”

He led dozens of personal soldiers to rush towards the south city gate, Zhang Xuan looked at him walking away, and said coldly: "Open the south city gate and let them evacuate!" ”

At this time, Pei Xingyan Pegasus arrived, he looked at Chen Haishi's figure, and asked puzzledly: "General, why do you want to let them go?" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and was afraid to pat him on the shoulder, "Remember, the best way to make a pot of rice uncomfortable is to mix a handful of sand with rice." ”

Pei Xingyan didn't seem to understand it, but Shen Guang nodded and smiled: "I understand!" ”

Chen Haishi led seven or eight thousand remnants of the army to quickly evacuate Fei County, and the Sui army immediately occupied this strategic town of Langya County, and the gate to Linyi County was opened, but Zhang Xuan did not continue to go south, but rested his army and stayed in Fei County for a long time.

The loss of Fei County shook the entire Langya County, and most of the land in Langya County was occupied by the Sui army, especially Sun Xuanya's tens of thousands of troops, which were suppressed in a narrow area of less than 100 miles, and lost Fei County, a major grain-producing area, Sun Xuanya had to feed tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of people, and his grain storage could not last for half a year.

Sun Xuanya sat on the lobby, his face was extremely pale, Chen Haishi knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said nothing, he was extremely ashamed in his heart, the lord entrusted Fei County to himself and returned 10,000 troops, but he didn't hold it for even a day, and was easily taken away by the Sui army.

"I want to know, how did you lose Fei County?" Sun Xuanya asked in a hoarse voice.

"There is an internal response, Zhang Xuan has already sent an army to hide in Fei County, and the inside and outside should be combined, and it is impossible to guard against it."

"You mean it's because I'm not thinking it through, it's none of your business, are you?"

Sun Xuanya trembled with laughter, staring at Chen Haishi fiercely.

"Humble duty doesn't mean that!"

"And what do you mean?"

Sun Xuanya slapped the table heavily and shouted hoarsely: "You lost Fei County, why don't you die, and have the face to come to see me!" ”

"Willing to die to atone for one's sins!"

Sun Xuanya's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and she said word by word between her teeth: "If you want to die, I will fulfill you!" ”

"Someone!"

He shouted loudly, and several personal soldiers rushed in, Sun Xuanya pointed at Chen Haishi, "Drag me out, behead!" ”

Chen Haishi closed his eyes, knowing that he would die, why would he come back?

Several soldiers hesitated and dragged Chen Haishi out, and at this time, Meng Rang persuaded in a low voice on the side: "King, he has some prestige in the army, and he has saved most of the brothers, so killing the generals in battle like this will probably make the soldiers feel cold." ”

Sun Xuanya was so angry that her chest rose and fell violently, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, spare him to death, and give me a hundred military sticks." (To be continued......)
