The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 595 The Darkness Before Dawn
At this time, a group of broken British soldiers had just escaped from the jungle and appeared outside the west gate of Jianning City.

"Thank God, we finally escaped!" A black soldier looked at Jianning City, which was close at hand, and cried out in a crying voice.

"That's right, we escaped from those fierce tiger-like enemies, guys, I have to say that we are really lucky." Another white soldier rubbed his stiff face by mistake and smiled.

"I'm cold and hungry now, and my whole body is about to run out of energy. Let's go to the city quickly. Those guys will prepare warm and dry clothes for us. I also want to drink a big bowl of hot soup."

"I also want a woman, I want to cuddle her to sleep, this battle is my nightmare."

The rout soldiers shouted wildly and started rushing towards the west gate of Jianning City.

After Jianning City's retaliatory action by the National Defense Forces, many troops were dispatched to strengthen the defense.And because it belongs to the bridgehead of the battle with the National Defense Forces, there are soldiers patrolling the top of the city even after nightfall.

The movement of these chaotic rout soldiers caught the attention of the patrolling soldiers on the top of the city, and the torches were quickly lit on the top of the city. The figures of these rout soldiers were exposed under the torches, but they were not clear. A shadow cast over the bloodstained face.

"Who is under the city?" Someone from the top of the city asked loudly.

It's a pity that none of these defeated soldiers could understand them. After looking at each other, they shouted to the top of the city in broken English or even the language of their mother country.

Naturally, the defenders at the top of the city couldn't understand what they said, because it sounded no different from birdsong.

"Where did you come from, get out of here quickly, or Grandpa will be rude to you." The soldiers on the top of the wall scolded loudly.

Those rout soldiers finally realized that they were too naive and thought things too beautifully.

The language of the two sides is completely different, and the other party can't understand what they say.

The rout soldiers were very unwilling, and started yelling again. They were very angry, waving their arms and waving towards the top of the city to express their anger.

They were indeed very angry. From their point of view, they were here to help Zheng Zhilong fight, but now they were blocked by Zheng Zhilong's soldiers while cold and hungry. This was really unbearable.

They hope their anger will do a little work.

But things backfired, their anger did play a role, but it succeeded in angering the defenders on the top of the city.

There are many barbarians living around the southeast region.These rout soldiers who did not understand the language and made provocative actions have been successfully identified by the defenders as a group of barbarians who came to provoke without knowing their lives.

There were a few shouts and curses from the top of the city, and then some strange voices came, and a few arrows pierced through the darkness, hitting the few rout soldiers standing at the front.

After a few short screams, the broken soldiers who were hit by the arrows fell heavily to the ground.

The other rout soldiers fled back in panic, yelling and cursing helplessly, cursing those damn defenders.

It's a pity that they no longer have any weapons in their hands, and their rifles have already been thrown away when they were fleeing for their lives.

If you save the branches they pick up as crutches.

Watching these "barbarians" leave, after leaving a few curses on the top of the city, calm was restored.

The driven British soldiers walked forward aimlessly in frustration, they didn't know where to go.

This is a completely unfamiliar continent, and it is the darkness before dawn, and they are lost.

"What's that?" A broken soldier of Indian descent suddenly called out while looking at the darkness ahead.

The other soldiers were startled by his cry, some shouted and cursed, some looked curiously.

There seemed to be something walking towards them in the darkness, and the rout soldiers were all stunned.

Da da, it is the sound of horseshoes.Moreover, the voice became louder and more urgent, and in an instant a group of cavalry rushed out from the darkness, bringing a chill.

It was an extremely sharp saber in the hands of the cavalry.

It wasn't until those cold lights came in front of them that the rout soldiers finally reacted and screamed.

That was the last voice they left in this world.

A cold light flashed, and everything returned to calm again.

"Captain, there are 37 in total, all dead." A knight whispered after riding a horse around.

"Okay, go over there and see if there are any fish that slipped through the net." The captain said in a deep voice, and then the sound of hoofbeats gradually faded away.

This is the cavalry regiment of the First Army. They took the first step and came to intercept these fish that slipped through the net.

At the same time, the First Army of the National Defense Forces has also begun to deploy to encircle Jianning City.

It is not accurate to say that it is surrounded.The strength of an army can't completely surround Jianning City, but Bai Mu's purpose is not to completely surround the city, but to scare the snakes and surround them for help.

Chu Yunfei's 47th Army had also taken advantage of the night to quietly drive to the official road leading to Fuzhou City outside the south gate of Jianning City to ambush.If Jianning City is to be rescued, that road is the only way to go.

Everything is going on quietly.

Except for a few short calls from the darkness occasionally, the night was still as quiet as usual.

Dawn is coming, the gloomy darkness is gradually going away, and the dawn begins to come a little bit.

The guard of Jianning City has been replaced by Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Hongkui.

Zheng Hongkui is Zheng Zhilong's true confidant, so he entrusted him with the burden of guarding Jianning City and protecting the old mother.

Zheng Hongkui was very caring when he first served as the guard of Jianning City. In addition to increasing the patrol density and increasing the defensive force at various city gates, he himself patrolled around with his own soldiers every day, even in the middle of the night. Cha Gang can be said to be very conscientious.

But then it was calm all the time, and Zheng Hongkui's vigilance became more and more relaxed.

Especially after the British sent reinforcements, he didn't think that the imperial court still had the strength to attack Jianning City at this time.

Once the nerves are relaxed, it is not easy to tense up again.

The days passed day by day, and the calm made Zheng Hongkui's habit of sleeping in flowers and willows flare up again.

In the beginning, I went there every few days, but then I simply stayed in the Goulan every night and didn't return.

During the day, his subordinates would go to the Goulan to look for him for anything.

Today is no surprise, Zheng Hongkui woke up from a big pink bed with sleepy eyes open, looked at the luxurious pink curtains around him, then touched the two sleeping bodies beside him, and closed his eyes again. Close your eyes and recall the absurdity of last night.

Suddenly, a loud muffled sound in the distance startled him, and he couldn't help but suddenly opened his eyes.

This sound was familiar to him, it was the sound of cannon.

Immediately afterwards, another loud noise came from a distance.

Zheng Hongkui's face changed, and he stood up naked all of a sudden, looking in the direction of the north gate, where the sound of the cannon just came from.

"Third Master, it's not good, the enemy, the enemy has begun to attack the city!" A soldier suddenly opened the door and broke in, looking at the naked Zheng Hongkui for a moment, then said loudly.
