Through the palace of the king of subjugation

As night fell slowly, several horns blew from the gate of the city, which was a signal from Beiyin's army to prepare for a change of defense.

As a person who once confronted Beiyin people head-on and won a complete victory, Bai Ou naturally knew this information.

Accompanied by the sound of the trombone, hundreds of people in black walked at night and reached the foot of the city wall.

When the city is on the side of the border facing Beiyin, there is an inner city and an outer city. Baiou led people to touch from the side of Shangning, and there was only a not-so-high city wall in front of him.

Before breaking through Beiyin's checkpoints outside the city, they fought all the way here.

Even Sigou's intelligence network can't send any news, and their team of hundreds of people will never be able to sneak in without knowing anyone. They can only eliminate all the people at the outposts along the way.

This is simple and neat, leaving no future troubles, but there is also a disadvantage——

It will be exposed when the defense is changed.

Therefore, there is not much time left for Baiou. He must time the city gate to switch defenses, and take advantage of the weak defense in this section to take down the city gate in one fell swoop.

And the time right now is just right.

Hearing the sound of the horn, he turned his head to look at Chen Bang beside him, and after receiving Chen Bang's affirming look, he nodded firmly.

Chen Bang got the order, curled up his fingers and blew the whistle——

Children from poor families in the city have nothing to play with, and many boys would do this when they were young, imitating Sha Bailing's cry.

Chen Bang has been with these people for so long, and he has already learned enough appearances. The two cries he blew imitating Sha Bailing were exactly the secret signals agreed in advance.

A row of iron hooks hung on the crenel of the parapet wall of the city gate without anyone noticing.

The soldiers guarding the city wall wore uniform Beiyin infantry armor, which seemed to be the lowest-level soldier; he held a long gun on his chest, and the end of the wooden handle of the long gun was propped on the ground.

He nodded his head, as if falling asleep.

Beiyin people have been controlling the city for a long time. No matter how strict the army is, it is inevitable that a few people who let their guard down will slack off——

This is also the power of time, an important part of the white gull's long wait.

There are too few resources in his hands, and any advantage cannot be easily given up.

The drowsy soldier was also awakened by the long cry. He heard a rustling sound behind him, but when he was about to turn his head, his mouth and nose were covered by a big hand.

The neck was also strangled by a terrifying force, and before the suffocation and fear had even had time to sweep through his whole body, a coolness penetrated his throat first.

The cold blade brushed across his neck silently, and after a brief biting chill, his chest was hot——

It was fresh blood gushing from the wound.

The feeling of suffocation and fear quickly left his body along with the blood and temperature.

This process may seem long, but in fact it only happened in an instant, and the passing of a young life is also silent in this instant.

Perhaps this is the truth of war.

From different positions, different conclusions may be drawn about the right and wrong of the war, but there is only one answer that will not change for anyone——

Life and death.

Chen Bang was the first person to climb to the top of the wall. He had just finished dealing with the soldiers guarding the crenel when he immediately heard a muffled sound of "噗嗤" coming from behind him.

Anyone who is familiar with the battlefield and has experienced life and death can react in an instant. This is the sound of blood splattering when a sharp knife pierces a flesh and blood body.

He immediately turned his head vigilantly, but saw that a Beiyin soldier was close to him behind him, the long knife in his hand was raised high, but it did not fall.

Not only did the long knife not fall, but the hand holding the knife let out its strength in front of Chen Bang, and fell from the hand of the Beiyin soldier.

The metal long knife was about to fall to the bluestone ground, and the crisp impact might attract more Beiyin soldiers.

And behind Chen Bang, most of the white men in the garrison brought by Ou had not yet climbed to the top of the city; if the Beiyin people who were discovered could not be wiped out in a very short period of time, once there is a signal, today A late sneak attack is likely to fall short.

Chen Bang bent down instinctively to catch the long knife, only then did he remember that there was still the body in front of him that was gradually losing temperature.

It took only a moment for the long knife to fall to the ground. Before he could make a very accurate judgment and choice on the situation in front of him, he suddenly saw a piece of military boots stepping out from behind the Beiyin soldier who was holding the long knife.

The owner of the military boots blocked it with his foot, allowing the long knife to land smoothly and silently.

Chen Bang breathed a sigh of relief, and saw the Beiyin soldier who had also turned into a corpse slowly fall down, with the familiar dagger stuck behind his back.

Bai Gu's face was exposed from behind the corpse, his eyes were firm and determined, and he gently put the corpse down.

Chen Bang felt ashamed for a moment, but Bai Ou didn't say much. He just patted his back lightly, motioning Chen Bang to pay attention to his back, and then bowed and pulled out the dagger from the corpse's back.

He habitually rubbed the dagger twice on the cuff, wiped off the blood and inserted it back into the hem of the boot with familiarity.

The moment he got up, he saw the long sword in Chen Bang's hand brushing against his head and throwing it vigorously behind him.

He turned around and saw someone not far away who noticed their movements and was about to run towards the beacon tower, but was nailed to the city wall by Chen Bang precisely.

The white gull had done a lot of preparation for the last battle in the city, and he was sure of winning. He didn't really enter the battlefield, but chased him out of the city alone at the end of the battle.

Only now did he really stand in the vortex of this war and feel the meaning of the brotherhood of Pao Ze.

No matter how vigilant, sharp and extraordinary a person is, he is still a mortal, and there will always be a danger of not checking behind him for a moment.

And behind him are the garrison waiting in the city and the little emperor looking at love from afar——

He can't lose.

More and more elites of the waiting city crossed the female wall. They bowed lightly and spread out like a tide, sweeping across the entire wall of the waiting city.

Soon, the defenders at the head of the waiting city had been "stolen for the day".

Before they came, they only wore light black corsets, and now they can put on the armor of the Beiyin people, and the corpses were hidden on the spot. No one will find this in a short time on the city wall that just completed the defense change. An upheaval.

The row of iron hooks that had just been hung on the wall changed direction again, and the hemp rope was thrown to the side of the waiting city. Except for the group of people who had changed into Beiyin's military uniform and stayed behind in the waiting city, the rest slid down the wall in an orderly manner.

After everyone left, the row of iron hooks was put away again without anyone noticing.

After entering the inner city of the city, all the personnel dispersed on the spot, and scattered into the streets and alleys of the city like dust, which was lighter than the wind from the beginning to the end, leaving no trace.

But no matter how the wind blows, it flows in the same direction unknowingly.

Although Daicheng is the most affluent and prosperous city among the three northwest cities, the frontier town is no better than the capital Jiangning, or Lin'an and Wujun, the granaries in the south of the Yangtze River.

There are no large and magnificent buildings here. To accommodate Zhao Hongyin and all the guards and generals around him, and possibly a large number of surrendered officials to help with affairs, the first and almost only option is to wait for the city government office. .

This was Bai Ou's guess and judgment when formulating the strategic plan, and the Chen family brothers also agreed; in fact, after entering the city, the whole city was dark, and only one place was lit with fire.

Although the hundreds of troops stationed in the city were scattered, Bai Gu was not worried that they would not be able to meet at the agreed time and place later.

This group of people are so familiar with the city that they can't count how many trees are planted in each street, and how many leaves each tree will shed in autumn.

Everything was within the plan, and the city was as quiet as an empty city, and Bai Gu was not surprised.

To be able to control a city so tightly, Zhao Hongyin must have used a high-pressure and strict control method, so a late-night curfew is naturally indispensable.

After they entered the city, they were able to act so smoothly, and it was more or less thanks to the "blessing" of the curfew.

Hundreds of elite garrison troops in black and strong clothes were originally divided into several groups, covering each other, submerged in the water-like silence of the night, and quietly approached the government office of the city.

The team led by the white gull reached the gate of the government office in the first wave, and they each hid in the top of the tree on the wall; the white gull hid behind a thick tree trunk, waiting for the signal when the teams arrived, quietly watching the main entrance of the government office direction.

He seemed to still be able to see the little emperor jumping out of the carriage, passing him, and running towards the door without looking back, even his back was aggrieved and stubborn.

Thinking about it now, it's like it happened yesterday.

If someone could see him in front of the enemy, on the line of life and death, and could hide behind a tree with his hands clasped and the corners of his lips curled into a snicker, they would probably praise General Yipinzhu for his courage.

*****

The lobby of the main wing of the government office is brightly lit.

Zhao Hongyin closed his eyes and sat quietly, the tea cup in his hand was completely cold, and a man in Tsing Yi stood beside him.

Those who can enter the commander's bedroom must be very close courtiers, but before the battle, this man was dressed as an ordinary civil servant.

"How are things getting ready?" Zhao Hongyin didn't open his eyes, his voice was low, and his face was normal, but his inner anxiety was betrayed by the disorderly tapping of his fingers on the table.

"There is only the last batch of food, and the most important medicinal herbs are still piled up in the backyard. If you want to move, you can finish it in a few days." The man in Tsing Yi replied in an orderly manner, but suddenly got stuck here, " only……"

"Zou Jin." Zhao Hongyin slightly opened his eyes when he heard the words, "You have never been a person who can hide."

"Yes." The man named Zou Jin saluted solemnly: "Your Majesty, please think twice about the retreat."

"Wait any longer--" Zhao Hongyin pointed fingers on the table just now and slowly clenched his fists together, "Do you want my [-] troops to be buried in this mere city?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I am not a doctor, but I have read all the medical books and ancient books I can find recently, and I have a bold inference—" Zou Jin stood up and clasped his fists, "In ancient times, when a large-scale plague broke out, few manpower could control it. They were all destroyed by God's will."

Zhao Hongyin narrowed his eyes, "Why?"

"The plague usually breaks out in spring and summer, but only in autumn and winter." Zou Jin looked back at the snow falling outside the window, "Your Majesty, look, the snow fell so heavily, maybe God helped me Beiyin."

"The main force and most of the cavalry have been transferred and moved outside the city away from the epidemic area. The danger has been greatly reduced, perhaps..."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply again, "Your Majesty can still wait for the opportunity."

Zhao Hongyin closed his eyes again and remained silent, as if he was thinking deeply, Zou Jin said nothing.

There was silence in the lobby, until a cry of surprise broke through the door.

"His Majesty--"

The visitor was dressed as Zhao Hongyin's personal bodyguard.

"The courtyard is flooded!"
