Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 216: The City Falls

Yu Jingyan was just about to draw out the soft arrow from his waist to block the attack, but a strong wind blew from somewhere, blowing the arrow feathers crookedly and removing all the force. The arrow fell on several people and had no killing power at all.

Yu Jingyan knew that it was the secret guards of Yunmeng Lake who took action. They could not charge into battle for him or attack the city for him. The only task assigned to them by Yunmeng Lake was to rescue him when his life was threatened.

Tianming, who was about to rescue Qiao Lili in secret, was stunned by this wave of operations. As they were all secret guards, his skills were obviously not enough in front of these people, so he decided to continue to hide.

At the moment when this wave of arrows fell under the city wall, more than a dozen people climbed up the city wall.

As soon as the group of people touched the ground and drew their swords, the defenders on the city wall, including the generals, were unable to withstand a single blow from Qiao Lili and Yu Jingyan.

The people on the left wing killed and climbed down the city wall. No one could stop them, they could only slow down their pace. The people climbing up the right wing were luckier, because the defenders on the city wall over there had gone to support the South Gate.

The two groups of people rushed down the city wall and gathered towards the south gate.

The ladder climbing siege was just a feint to attract troops. Their mission was to hide and fight on the wall. They didn't need to kill people coming down the wall. If the vanguard army was allowed to go down the wall to open the city gate, too many soldiers would be lost. It could be said that human lives would be used up. Therefore, the thirty of them were the ones who actually opened the city gate during this siege.

The two groups of people used their Qinggong skills, fighting and flying at the same time, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they met at the city gate.

Inside the city gate, there was a team of defenders, more than a hundred people, who were guarding the city gate supported by huge square timbers to prevent the Dayan army from using battering rams to break down the gate.

What a stupid siege strategy it is to ram the wooden door. Even if the door can be rammed open, there will be countless casualties. There is a high probability that it cannot be rammed open, and the dead and injured soldiers will have died in vain.

"Kill!" Yu Jingyan gave an order, and a group of thirty people rushed into the hundred-man gate guarding team.

Thirty men against a hundred, each of them got three to four people. Yu Jingyan swung his Zhangba Snake Spear and swept down seven or eight people to the left, breaking arms in the front and legs in the back. He then turned the gun around and swept down another four or five people to the right, all of them were hit on the back, injuring their internal organs.

Qiao Lili swung out with her peach blossom silver spear, and the tip of the spear was as sharp as a dragonfly skimming the water, piercing the right shoulder blades. The stabbed enemy soldiers' arms dropped, their weapons fell to the ground, and they lost their combat effectiveness. Qiao Lili reversed her hand and fired another spear, and two more enemy soldiers were stabbed in the right shoulder. With a shake of her hand, she stabbed twice in a row, and the weapons of the four fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, a group of people fell down in front of Yu Jingyan and Qiao Lili, and the wailing sound was endless.

When these two people take action, unless the situation is critical or their lives are threatened, they will not kill easily or use heavy blows to kill. They just want to injure them and make them lose their fighting ability. The two men have never discussed this matter, but they thought of it the same way.

In just a few breaths, Yu Jingyan dealt with fourteen or fifteen, and Qiao Lili dealt with eleven or twelve. This reduced the pressure on the others, and Shang Zhen and others easily dealt with the others.

Yu Jingyan took Qiao Lili's hand and quickly rushed to the south gate of the city. "One, two, three," "Open!" The two of them worked together and the city gate opened. The five thousand cavalrymen outside the city gate entered in order under the leadership of the young general Huo Wuwei.

Shang Zhen and others who were here just now, after the South Gate was opened, immediately rode the stolen horses to the East Gate, defeated the enemy guarding the gate, opened the East Gate, and the two thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry who had been ambushed near the East Gate swarmed into the city.

Then the north gate and the west gate were opened. The four gates were opened, and the soldiers of Dayan marched in, unstoppable, and the city was broken!

On the way to the south gate, Hu Beihan encountered the young general Huo Wuwei, who killed him on his horse. The soldiers swarmed up and cut off his head, which was hung on the north gate of Tongmeng City, facing the direction of the Northern Mongolian Kingdom.

There were said to be 50,000 defenders in Tongmeng City, but in fact there were only less than 20,000. Together with the 20,000 who escaped from the main camp, there were only more than 30,000 combat-capable troops. The four city gates were opened, Hubahan was beheaded, and the army was in chaos. Some laid down their weapons and surrendered, some took advantage of the chaos to escape, some were killed or wounded. In less than an hour, more than half of the soldiers were gone, and there were less than 10,000 people left who stubbornly resisted. They were wiped out by Dayan's more than 11,000 cavalry and more than 40,000 infantry like dry weeds and rotten wood.

The morning sun rose slowly at dawn, and the national flag of the Great Yan Kingdom, a five-clawed golden dragon totem, was planted on the top of Tongmeng City. From then on, Tongmeng City was the territory of Great Yan and was included in the territory of Great Yan.

In the past, Qiao Xuan had occupied Guotongmeng City many times. The last time Qiao Peng was named the Champion General, he had the record of conquering Tongmeng City. However, that was all to deter Northern Mongolia, and he didn't really want Northern Mongolia's territory. But this time, it was different.

Emperor Yong'an issued an oral order that countries that provoked the war would not accept peace talks and would be destroyed once and for all.

So once we occupy it this time, we will never return it and it will belong to Dayan forever.

Yu Jingyan ordered to clean up Tongmeng City, clearing all the streets and alleys, arresting all suspicious persons, and sending soldiers to guard the civilian area, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving. He took Qiao Lili and a small team of thirty people to the Tongmeng City Lord's Mansion to handle subsequent matters and wait for officials sent by the court to take over.

After entering the City Lord's Mansion and finding a clean room, Yu Jingyan first helped Qiao Lili sit down, took off his helmet and threw it aside, bent down to take off her boots, removed the leggings inside her battle robe, rolled up her trouser legs, revealing the wound that had been bandaged by Doctor Feng. Fortunately, there was no new blood on the gauze.

After removing the gauze, Yu Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief and found that the wound had not split.

Although he really didn't want Qiao Lili to come to this siege, since Ali wanted to come, he was unwilling to force Ali to abide by his decision, so he just went along with Ali's wishes. However, his heart was hanging in the air for several hours. Fortunately, Ali's wound was fine, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Ajing, look how worried you are. This is really Ali's fault." Qiao Lili pulled Yu Jingyan's hand to check the wound and spoke softly.

Caiqi and Caixing were also worried about Qiao Lili's injury. When they saw that she was really fine, they tactfully retreated.

Yu Jingyan took off Qiao Lili's helmet, revealing the hair underneath, which was all wet with sweat. The sweat flowed onto her face and was covered with dust. Her usually fair face now looked like a little cat. Yu Jingyan held this disobedient little face in his hands and kissed this disobedient little mouth.

"Oh, it's dirty..." Qiao Lili sobbed, "I don't mind." Before she could finish her words, she was swallowed by Yu Jingyan.
