At the same time, Li Xiujing suddenly grasped the rebel general's wrist. He hit his chest hard with his elbow. The general was in pain and almost lost his hand with the horizontal knife in his hand. After reacting, he immediately fought with Li Xiujing to seize the knife.

The rebels who came with him also reacted and surrounded them with their swords drawn. Seeing that the situation was not good, General Xu and others immediately pulled out the dagger hidden in their boots and fought with the rebels. Take away the sword from their hands.

The general was kicked by Li Xiujing again before he could recover. He was stepped on the chest and the knife in his hand was taken away.

Looking coldly at the rebel general at his feet, Li Xiujing sighed lightly. The knife was swung down with precision and cruelty, and blood splashed on his face. He looked at the corpse on the ground with disgust and wiped the blood stains on the knife with the sole of his boot.

Seeing that the rebels were about to call others for support, Li Xiujing raised his knife and pierced the opponent's body with the knife. All of a sudden, the surroundings were full of dead and wounded, and the rebels who wanted to escape were lying on the ground in a mess.

"General, what should we do now?" General Xu wiped away the blood on his face.

"Go to the top of the city and seize their bugle." Li Xiujing raised her lips slightly, "Change the flag."

After counting the number of injured, Li Xiujing quickly interrogated the prisoners about the password for tonight's night patrol. He hid all the prisoners in haystacks and ordered General Xu to continue to guard here. He selected dozens of elites, dressed as the rebel general, and headed to the city under cover of darkness.

A group of people reached the base of the city wall and saw a group of replaced guards coming down. It was dark at night and he was wearing a hood. The other party did not recognize their identities and respectfully called General Hou.

Li Xiujing agreed upon hearing this, made a gesture backward and continued to lead the crowd towards the city.

Suddenly I heard the leading guard ask: "Who killed the pig!"

"Guan Yunchang!" Li Xiujing replied.

The man glanced at Sergeant Shence who was following Li Xiujing, bowed his hand to him politely, turned around and continued moving forward. When the group of guards walked away, he breathed a sigh of relief. He waved his hand for the team to follow.

Under the leadership of Li Xiujing, Sergeant Shence reached behind the rebels defending the city, quickly covered their mouths and noses, and decisively killed them with a knife. After dealing with the rebels at the top of the city, he immediately ordered his sergeants to lower the city gate, while he waited at the top of the city to fire arrows when the gate opened.

Hearing the sergeant coming from below to report that the city gate was open, Li Xiujing suddenly fired a loud arrow.

He Liang and Feng Yuanxian, who led an ambush in the distance, received news of the siege from the city. With an order, he led the crowd towards Qingyuan City ahead.

As soon as Sergeant Shence entered the city, Li Xiujing immediately ordered Feng Yuanxian to lead people to blow his own military horn at the top of the city. He led people to the direction of the commander's mansion and occupied this place.

The sound of horse hoofbeats broke the tranquility of the night. The enemy bugle sounding from the top of the city also panicked the rebels. He hurriedly put on his armor and went out with a sword, but they were all killed by the Shence sergeant.

Although Zheng Juan left the city, he still left his confidant Xu Qianyou to garrison at the commander's mansion. Xu Qianyou heard the enemy's horn sound and knew something was wrong. He quickly ordered his sergeants to defend the commander's mansion, and sent people to rush out of the city immediately to chase Zheng Qiao, who had been out of the city for a long time.

At the entrance of the Commander's Mansion were all the elite soldiers summoned by Xu Qianyou, holding long spears. And Xu Xun placed a barrage of horses at the door to resist the Shence army charging into the city.

Li Xiujing sighed as he looked at the rebel spearmen behind the horse and the archers behind them. He waved his hand and ordered He Liang to bring up those prisoners who refused to surrender and drive them onto their horses. He Liang led his men to escort them into the formation, while he led his elite troops to press back.

Wails could be heard in the ears, and the captives who were caught up threw their flying claws and hooked them on the horses. He turned the horse's head and ran backwards, but was finally pulled away after a struggle between the horse and the horse. Li Xiujing also led the cavalry to rush over and shot the crossbowman in front of the rebels with a powerful crossbow.

The Shence Army killed countless enemies with overwhelming force and completely occupied the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion. As for Xu Qianyou, who had led the resistance before, he was also beheaded in public display, and the remaining surrenderers were handed over their weapons and detained.

The early summer sun quietly rises to the east with a ray of luster. Li Xiujing climbed to the top of the city and looked out into the distance, seeing the stretching and lurking Taihang Mountains. There are eight paths in Taihang Mountain, and each path is dangerous. If the imperial court did not own Lin and Xing, the three towns of Heshuo would be able to use Taihang Mountain as a barrier to block the imperial court's attack. The Northland is so vast that countless heroes have bowed here. And in today's battle, he took over Qingyuan with a trick. Maybe he will be nothing more than a mention in the history books in the future, let alone the man whose bones are buried here?

It is no lie that Hebei soldiers are brave and arrogant. He has been keenly aware of this after several battles. This was also the reason why he didn't kill the prisoners. Firstly, the imperial court wanted to take Heshuo back into its arms, so it couldn't show it in a royal way. Secondly, the war situation in Heshuo had been anxious for too long, even though the imperial court was huge. However, it cannot bear the consumption of national power by attacking cities again and again. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the power of the dynasty with the actions of Weihan and Wangji that will set an example for eternity.

Li Xiujing pinched his eyebrows. Because Zheng Jun was greedy for power, he fell into his plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain and lead the people out of the city. At this moment, most of them already know the current situation in the city and are on their way back with their troops. There will be another fierce battle in this city, and the people in the city will also be implicated.

However, as the commander-in-chief of the army, Li Xiujing had no time to feel compassion for the people. These sergeants risked their lives to fight with him on the battlefield because they believed in him. He must ensure that they maximize the benefits they receive in order to ensure the stability of military morale. Only in this way can we be invincible on the battlefield, otherwise there will be a danger of camp roar and even mutiny.

After landing at the top of the city, Li Xiujing ordered the troops to rest and reorganize, but they were not allowed to disturb the people, and they were not allowed to loot. However, those who violate military orders will not be spared.

The troops had just rested for half an hour when the herald came to report.

Zheng Jiong has led his troops to the city and is shouting angrily outside the city.

After thinking for a while, Li Xiujing ordered Feng Yuanxian to prepare for the battle. I took He Liang and General Xu to the city to find Zheng Qiao.

At this time, the sky has turned white. Zheng Yan, wearing silver armor and a silver helmet, was riding a horse, holding a spear and yelling curses.

Li Xiujing raised his eyes when he heard the curse. He walked to the battlements and looked at Zheng Qiao below the city.

"General Zheng." Li Xiujing called with a smile.

"Shu Zi!" Zheng Qiao waved his spear and shouted angrily: "How dare you trick me into tricking me out of the city? You are a villain."

Hearing this, Li Xiujing said coldly, "A war is never tired of deceit. If you continue to choose to avoid fighting, I may not be able to succeed."

Zheng Qiao, who was in the city, became even more angry after hearing this. This person's words were clearly sarcastic about his greed for merit, and he fell into the trap.

After glaring at Li Xiujing, Zheng Qiao drew his bow and shot an arrow towards the top of the city.

Seeing an arrow flying towards her, Li Xiujing quickly stepped back. Taking advantage of this gap, he snatched the long bow from He Liang's waist and fired an arrow. The Shence sergeants who followed him also raised their crossbows and pointed them at Zheng Hao at the bottom of the city.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zheng Jiong had to retreat with his troops.

Looking at Zheng Jiao's leaving figure, Li Xiujing looked into the distance.

If Dugu Bo on the front line knew that Qingyuan was lost, he would probably lead troops to rescue him. Zhou Sui, who was trapped in Wei County, also had a chance to breathe. The officers and soldiers were reintegrated. How could Heshuo not be restored?

After a night of fierce fighting, Li Xiujing was really tired. Feng Yuanxian was ordered to take charge of all matters in the city and must appease the people. Don't let your sergeants harass the people.
