In the evening, winter seemed particularly weak, and the cold wind was biting on the land of Liaodong. A group of more than ten horsemen rode horses from Xiaoheishan. When they arrived at the foot of Xinjin City, they found that there was no gate on the city. They couldn't help but He yelled and cursed loudly in Manchu.

"I'm starving and freezing outside, and you slaves can't even open the door in time!"

"Hurry up and open the door, or I will go in and chop you slaves!"

"..."

In Xinjincheng, only these detective horses can be considered elite. After all, they are meant to be watched by the Ming army who may come out all night. If it was getting dark today, these soldiers would go back to the city to rest. The weather is so cold, so naturally you won't have a good temper.

Of course, they were so angry because they knew that the people on the city who braved the cold wind were from other tribes. As elites, they were qualified to scold them like this.

The effect of such scolding was quite good, and the city gate opened immediately. When Jianlu's scouting horse saw him at the door, he immediately drove his horse in.

The leader of the gatekeepers was a Manchurian, but he was afraid that these scouts might be angry, so he stood in the door to face them and spoke first: "Brothers, thank you for your hard work. Are the Jinzhou Ming Army honest?"

Hearing his question, the first detective replied with a bit of disdain: "It is clear that dogs are all rats, how can they have the courage to leave the city? Believe it or not, just tell them that our city has no troops and all the elites have been mobilized. After they left, even Mingguo didn’t dare to come, for fear that we would ambush them!”

"Haha, that's it, that's it!"

After talking, and with the cold weather and freezing weather, these scouts stopped looking for bad luck and left on their own. At the city gate, it became quiet again, just like the previous days.

After nightfall, the temperature gets even colder. In this kind of weather, in the wild, let alone people, there are almost no living creatures. Only the howling of the north wind is roaring.

There were almost no people visible above Xinjincheng. On each section of the city wall, except for the angry wind lanterns swaying in the wind, there was no other movement. Only occasionally when the footsteps of patrolmen are heard, a few heads of people on duty will appear on the city.

As soon as the patrol sentry left, the soldiers on duty muttered in a low voice: "What a damn patrol in this damn weather!"

"That's right, I'm going to freeze to death if I don't have enough to eat!"

"..."

After a while, there were no more heads on the city, and the soldiers on duty squatted down to avoid the cold wind as much as possible, and took a nap if they could!

However, they did not know that there was a Ming army lurking in the distance. The leader, a tall man, was holding a telescope in both hands and was carefully observing the movements on the top of the city.

In this person's identity, there was a man who was wrapped up tightly and said with white breath: "Master Zhongcheng, there are not many lights in the city, and you can tell at a glance that there is no army! And with the movement at the top of the city, you can be sure Not elite!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Lu Xiangsheng could speak, another person joined in: "With this kind of crazy weather, who would have thought that we are coming. Even if there are elite soldiers in the city, we can still catch them off guard!"

After hearing their conversation, Lu Xiangsheng put down his telescope, turned to look at the hussar camp he had brought out, and whispered: "You all remember what you want to do, wait a little longer and we'll start!"

The night is getting darker and darker, and Xinjincheng is getting quieter and quieter. But suddenly, the cry of killing rang out, which immediately woke up Fan Wencheng.

He did not go to Haizhou with Yue Tuo's army, but continued to stay in Xinjin, waiting for the end of the Gaizhou War before starting the Jinzhou War.

He rolled over and sat up. After listening carefully, he got the confirmation, and his expression suddenly changed. He was certain that the Ming army had come in.

Fan Wencheng got dressed as quickly as possible and went out even faster than his servants. He picked up a long gun and shouted loudly: "Come on, prepare your horses. The Ming army will definitely not come in large numbers. Come with me." Charge and stop their offensive!"

Around here, the sudden Ming army can only be the Ming army from Jinzhou. Tan Ma found nothing unusual when he returned to the city at night, which meant that the Ming army could not be dispatched on a large scale, but only cavalry. In such cold weather, it is impossible for a large-scale cavalry dispatch. Moreover, the Dongjiang Army held up the sky, which was just the cavalry army of Governor Denglai.

Fan Wencheng just thought quickly and combined with the shouts of killing, he estimated that it was only four to five hundred Ming troops attacking the city!

He usually has strict requirements for his servants. Just after he left the room for a while, a dozen famous servants gathered over.

When Fan Wencheng saw it, he immediately led them into the street, preparing to contain the Ming army's offensive first, so that there would be a chance to fight a chaotic battle, and then there would be a possibility of turning defeat into victory.

He had always believed that he was capable of both literary and military skills, and that his force was also high. Even if he compared with Governor Denglai, he would not be much different. This time, it is very likely that the daring Lu Xiangsheng led the sneak attack again, and it happened to be a while. If he could be captured or killed, it would be enough to prove that he was far stronger than the governor of the Ming Dynasty! It was not my fault that I was just a scholar in the Ming Dynasty before!

The city gate has been captured, Lu Xiangsheng led more than a hundred cavalry and went straight to the government office in the city, preparing to hit the snake seven inches. However, he suddenly discovered that under the bright moonlight, just ahead, a group of people were approaching with weapons. The leader was holding a long gun, pointing towards him, and seemed to be saying something loudly.

Without even thinking about it, Lu Xiangsheng quickly opened his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at the leader and shooting at the leader. There was a "bang" sound from the bowstring, and the man in the distance fell down. Suddenly, the group of people panicked and hurriedly carried the man into the darkness.

Lu Xiangsheng ignored him and led his men, sweeping past like a whirlwind, to the most obvious government office, killing people and killing Buddhas, and kept fighting inside.

At this time, fires broke out everywhere in the city, and it was the soldiers of the Hussars Battalion who were responsible for causing chaos, lighting fires everywhere. When the crossbow troops saw anyone on the street, they would shoot them, no matter what. In Xinjin City, there were shouts of killing, and under the light of the fire, it became a mess.

After dawn, Lu Xiangsheng, covered in blood, sat in the lobby of the government office, while his personal guards came in and out, busy. Although the results of the battle have not yet been calculated, judging from my own feelings, just like the news from the emperor, Xinjin City is actually very empty. Although there are still a lot of people, they are not elite. Once the Ming army entered the city, not many people had the courage to resist!

At this time, the fire in Xinjincheng has been brought under control, but smoke is still rising in many places. The officers and soldiers of the Ming Army were still forming teams to inspect various places in the city.
