36, Seizing the City (2)(1/2)
Questions quickly popped up in the minds of the defenders.
The commotion spread, even alarming the captain Yu Gong who was left behind.
He hurriedly climbed to the top of the city and frowned when he looked at the messy team. Now the front was only a stone's throw away from Yang.
Such a decadent state...
It doesn't seem good.
Finally returning to Kaiyang, it seemed that they were completely relieved. There was a burst of noise among the seemingly defeated team.
It was a sound of rejoicing and cheering.
Many people even stopped as soon as they reached the city and then collapsed on the ground, as if they had exhausted all their energy and energy along the way.
Soon, the captain saw a young man coming to the front of the formation with a few soldiers in the team below the city wall, and even walked to the city wall, and then shouted:
"Hurry up and lower the drawbridge and open the city gate!"
This cry immediately caused everyone's eyes on the city to focus on it.
"This is Uncle Jingdu."
A soldier shouted first and confirmed Jing Yi's identity.
After all, as Wang Ling's bodyguard and family general, Jing Yi almost always accompanies the commander-in-chief, whether he is out on daily training or in occasional battles.
More and more people are recognizing him.
Captain Yu Gong was no exception, and he became even more uneasy.
He hurriedly poked his head at the top of the city and asked: "Jing Yi, didn't you go to Linyi with the army of county commanders to eliminate the thieves? Why are you back alone now?"
"Where is Commander Wang? Where is An at this time?"
"Captain Yu..." Jing Yi responded in a loud voice, but he seemed to be weak and his voice was very hoarse:
"In order to save Linyi from danger, our army marched non-stop day and night, but when they were about to reach the city of Mutai Village, they were ambushed by the Yellow Turban bandits!"
"The thieves were cunning, and their numbers far exceeded what the messenger reported. After a great battle, although our soldiers fought bravely to kill the thieves, they still suffered heavy losses and suffered a great defeat."
"Lord Lieutenant..."
"What's wrong with Wang Ling?" Hearing this, Yu Gong became more and more anxious. He even forgot to shout out his official title as he kept talking.
no way.
Wang Ling was arrogant and arrogant, especially in love with power and salary. He was extremely forceful in his daily actions. The former captain of Kaiyang was another experienced battlefield veteran, but he was not resentful of being completely suppressed by him. As early as two years ago,
So he asked himself to be transferred and replaced with a civil servant like him who was not proficient in military affairs.
Such centralization of power left Kaiyang's military power largely in the hands of Wang Ling alone.
If the situation is stable and peaceful, or if the army is invincible, it will be no problem; but if there is a fierce war and danger, and the situation is unfavorable, Yu Gong cannot count on it.
He also knew about his family affairs, so he panicked instantly.
"The Captain is incomparably brave. Although he killed countless enemies, he was still accidentally hit by a stray arrow, and the arrow was poisonous."
Speaking of the prepared lines, the scene of Wang Ling committing suicide could not help but appear in Jing Yi's mind. At this time, the sad look on his face was no longer fake, but more sincere:
"Now he has fallen into a coma and is in danger. I risked my life to help him escape from the enemy's lines. At this time, there is a lack of medicine and it has been delayed for several days. I'm just afraid..."
"What?" When Yu Gong heard this, he didn't dare to hesitate anymore and shouted quickly:
"Hurry up and open the city gate, call the best doctor in the city immediately, and quickly treat the county captain!"
Shortly after.
With a dull creaking sound, the suspension bridge was slowly lowered, raising countless dust.
Immediately afterwards, the city gate slowly opened, revealing the soft underbelly of Linyi and the direct passage.
Seeing this scene, many of the "Kaiyang soldiers" behind Jing Yi looked happy.
Jing Yi's expression was calm, but there was only a hint of guilt in his eyes.
Sorry!
He muttered something secretly.
The thieves are powerful, and even if I don't do this, you guys won't be able to resist them, so there's no point in defending them for a few more days.
In this case, why not dedicate this city to help me win the trust of Na Shuzi?
...
At noon, the sun is shining brightly.
Seeing the gate of Linyi open in the distance, a small team of a hundred people hanging behind the army also cheered at the same time.
"Haha." Seeing this, Wu Sheng grinned: "These Kaiyang people are really easy to deceive."
Then he looked sideways at Wang Zheng: "General, it's done."
"It's not that he is gullible." Wang Zheng was not surprised. This was expected: "The key is Jing Yi's identity. It is really unusual."
After deciding to use this person as a key link in defrauding the city gate, Wang Zheng then asked several other surrendered generals to get more information.
That Jing Yi was not only his adjutant, but he was also heard to be one of the few people who followed Wang Ling when he arrived in Kaiyang on his first day to take up his post. He was obviously a close confidant!
For such a person, Kaiyang's city defense army would naturally not expect that he would turn his back on his master and become a thief, making false claims to deceive others.
I would never have thought... that he would kill his master.
"General, although this Jing Yi looks hateful, he has achieved merit again this time." Wu Sheng said, "He can be considered a useful person."
"It's usable, but not trustworthy." Wang Zheng snorted coldly, glanced at Wu Sheng again, thought for a while, and warned: "Even Pan Zhang is not a kind person. It's unreasonable for you to associate with such people.
Don’t go too wide.”
The system locked only Pan Zhang's loyalty to him, but it did not mean that Pan Zhang was harmless to other people.
Even...it's Wu Sheng who also entered the system.
...
The more than 500 people in the front row had already stepped across the suspension bridge and filed into Kaiyang City.
Basically, they are all second-level elites from Tianzhu Camp.
Even if Uncle Du did not say anything that day, Wang Zhengben was not prepared to use those Kaiyang troops at this time.
Just kidding, I'm not logged into the system yet.
If he waited for his army to enter Kaiyang, stabbed him in the back, and then closed the door tightly... wouldn't all his system soldiers be destroyed?
However, in order to gain trust, in addition to Jing Yi, we also need some familiar faces among the officers and soldiers.
After some investigation and interrogation, Wang Zheng selected some soldiers who were not local to Kaiyang, especially dozens of them whose native place was Linyi, and Wang Zheng arranged them into the "official army" this time.
At this time, these people knew that Linyi would definitely fall into the hands of the Yellow Turban bandits. Their life and death were under the control of Wang Zheng, so they naturally did not dare to have any ideas.
What's more, since they are surrendering, they are not loyal people after all.
But when Jing Yi and this group of real Kaiyang soldiers walked in the front, they did not arouse the suspicion of the city defense troops.
Not to mention those who were placed in the subsequent Tenchu camps.
Regardless of the influence of the system, Wang Zheng's instructions will be carried out with all their strength. Even after fighting so many times, everyone has been mentally tempered. Their consecutive victories and strong physique have also made their self-confidence stronger.
Once a person becomes confident, not only will he have courage, but he will also be able to do anything with ease.
So even though we entered a strange environment and were surrounded by countless enemies, no one felt nervous or at a loss.
"Don't go up there yet. Go to the nearby military camp to organize your team first so that we can count which brothers have not returned yet."
Knowing that the Heavenly Army behind did not understand the layout of Kaiyang City, Jing Yi directly pointed out the direction first and even gave an excuse to those in the front row.
The Heavenly Punishment soldiers naturally understood this.
With a few nods from the front, more than a hundred people silently separated from the main team, began to look at the scene in the city, and slowly dispersed.
At the same time, more heavenly troops poured in.
When more than 500 people were almost finished entering, someone finally discovered something was wrong.
A general in charge of the daily drills of the Kaiyang Army did not notice anything strange at first, but when many people passed by his eyes, no one had any impression.
The instructor finally said "Hey" softly, grabbed a Heavenly Army soldier, and asked with some confusion:
"Which team are you from? How come I haven't seen you before?"
Hearing this, the soldier was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned cold and he stared at the instructor without saying a word.
Several people around him also used their hands hard at the same time, either holding down the handle of the knife or tightening the body of the gun.
Such a strange atmosphere made the general even more shocked. He looked around again and suddenly felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He finally found it.
There were hundreds of "Kaiyang troops" around, but he didn't recognize any of them.
This is impossible!
