Chapter 1468
"General, the Jie army in the city is behaving abnormally..."

Soon after nightfall, the soldiers of Wang Shi outside Xindu City who were in charge of monitoring the movement of the Jie army under the city rushed back to Wang Shi's camp several miles away, and reported in detail the signs they had detected.

The general of the king's army in Dongwu City was Xin Bin. Hearing the report from the soldiers, he quickly put on the armor he had just untied, and hurriedly ordered the [-] soldiers in the battalion to stand by immediately, and then he personally led more than a hundred soldiers. Qingqi left the camp and went to the city to investigate in person.

At present, it is not long before the first day of April, there is no moon in the sky, and the night is dark.However, the distance from Daying to the city of Xindu had already been trampled extremely flat by the soldiers of Wang Shi, because Xin Bin and others arrived at the city of Xindu not long after they left the city.

Looking from the bottom of the city, the entire city of Xindu was immersed in the deep night, and there was no fire on the top of the city.

Xindu City is already in short supply of all kinds of supplies, including firewood, ointment, etc., and the previous night attack was not only ineffective, but also suffered a small setback. In the past few days, every night after nightfall, Zhang Hao banned the lighting of the city head, in addition to saving supplies, it can also prevent the Jin army from attacking at night to a certain extent.

Tonight is no exception, the city is completely dark, but it is different from before.Sim Bin was still some distance away from the city wall, and he heard many chaotic sounds from the city wall in the night, which was the abnormality reported by the soldiers before.

"Any other strange signs happened?"

Arriving at the front line, Xin Bin summoned the soldiers who had been monitoring here for questioning.What he is more worried about is that the Jie army in the city will launch a night attack again. Fighting in the middle of the night will put great pressure on any army. Thousands of soldiers were either killed or wounded and could not participate in the subsequent siege battle.

Different from the strong city guarded by the Jie army, tens of thousands of people waiting to fight can be replenished at any time, the king of Dongwu City has only [-] infantry and [-] Qingqi as scouts this time, which is already ensuring the relief of Hebei Youshi At the same time as refugees, Tobu Castle can mobilize the maximum power.

The reason why Xin Bin repelled the Jie army's night battle regardless of the cost before was not only to attack the morale of the Jie army defending the city, but also to ensure that Wang Shi's falsehood would not be seen by the Jie army.And the development of the situation in the next few days was also quite beneficial to Master Wang. The Xindu Jie army was already in turmoil, and after a small setback in the first battle, it was even more timid, and almost dared not try to peek.

Xin Bin set up his camp in the plains a few miles away from Xindu. In addition to maintaining the daily offensive, he secretly dispatched a group of troops to flee from the camp every night, and returned to the camp in the daytime with banners and banners in full swing. Combined with the gathering of wandering wanderers in the countryside, an illusion that reinforcements from the master of the king arrived one after another was formed.

Now Wang Shi's battalion has tens of thousands of people in scale, but in fact it is only a force of over 3000 troops, and due to the consumption of many days of fighting, there are only more than [-] people left in Wang Shi's army who can fight.

Therefore, if the Jie army launches another night attack of this scale, it will be difficult for the current Wang Shi to repel it calmly, and most importantly, it will be difficult to maintain the strong posture maintained by Wang Shi. .Because of this, Xin Bin was so nervous about the omens shown by the Xia Jie army.

"Shouldn't be a collection of armors attacking night battles..."

The front-line surveillance soldiers had observed the riots in the city for a longer period of time, so they naturally had certain guesses.The abnormal movement in the city was not at all an organized mobilization of soldiers, but more like an uncontrolled riot.Moreover, usually when attacking at night, a suddenness must be ensured. Only when the suddenness is guaranteed can the initiative be grasped.

Not to mention that there is no way to hide the current riots at the top of the city, and it is not long after nightfall, and during the day, the master Wang broke through the Jie army's urn city and fought fiercely, and his vigilance has not been completely eliminated.Under such circumstances, there is no need to organize a night attack.

As for the safety of Master Wang, Xin Bin naturally would not simply draw conclusions. After listening to the report from the soldiers here, he sent out the scouts again to go around the city to take a closer look at the overall movement of the Jie army in the city.

As time went by, although those ranger scouts hadn't all returned to report, the riots in the Jie army defense area in the northeast corner of the front of the eyes have gradually expanded, and beyond the shadow of the city, it can be seen that there are already hidden people in the city. The flames flickered.

"The Jie army seems to be about to collapse!"

Xin Bin didn't leave here for a moment, and even moved closer to the city under the cover of night to capture and listen to more subtle and specific movements. There was already a hint of joy on his face, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated.

This kind of speculation is not blindly overly optimistic.According to the situation of Xindu mastered by Wang Shi, this kind of variable will happen with a high probability. On the contrary, in the face of Wang Shi's strong attack, it would be a bit unexpected if the Xindu Jie army can maintain a long-term defense of the city.

"Maybe give them another fire!"

Xin Bin thought to himself, and after retreating to a certain distance, he turned his head and ordered the Wang Shi soldiers on standby in the battalion to form a thousand people to line up here.

Not long after the order was issued, several scouts sent to the south of the city had already returned on horseback. When they got closer, the scouts couldn't hide their joy: "General, great joy! The Jie army was in chaos in the south of the city, and many people fled across the city. The crowd escaped from the wilderness, fled west and south..."

After hearing this report, Xin Bin couldn't help but smile, and his heart sank slightly.It should be noted that this time he led his troops northward to attack Xindu, which was not in the original military plan. Those Hebei villagers who fled before brought great pressure to Tobu City, and there was simply no way to spare enough troops to attack Xindu. All.

According to the latest tactics arranged by the general, the most important task of Xin Bin's journey to the north of the Dongwu City King's Division is not to attack the city, but to put on a posture of storming Xindu and continue to put pressure on the Jie army in the city. The good result was that the defenders of the city were so oppressed that the Jie army could not bear the pressure and took the initiative to flee.

As for the force of the Wangshi who really culled the remnant forces of the Jie army in Xindu, it mainly came from the army under the command of the forward governor Xie Ai on the west side of Xindu.Now that Xindu city defense is on the verge of collapse, this is of course very good news for Xin Bin!
"Tell the command camp to fight again tonight! If we can defeat the Jie people in the city, our troops can go to the city to recuperate tomorrow!"

There was a trace of unconcealable excitement in Xin Bin's words. Although he was trapped in a shortage of troops, it would be difficult for his king's division to receive the success of capturing and killing the city. The soldiers who participated in the battle from top to bottom of the division, every worst one can get the great merit of turning four!

Because it was Xin Bin who made a decisive decision and decided to send out all the battalion soldiers, no longer just a feint attack, but really started to attack Xinducheng at night!

The soldiers around Wang Shi were all very excited when they heard Xin Bin's order, and some even couldn't hold back the surging fighting spirit surging in their chests and let out a long roar.

Xin Bin didn't stop the soldiers from being overjoyed for a while, but squinted and looked at the dark city not far away, but couldn't help but recall in his mind the king's affairs that he resolutely threw himself into the general's command in the capital in the old year.

Back then, Xin Bin was just one of the people who traveled to the south after Yongjia, and he didn't have the old family reputation to rely on. He took advantage of the momentum of the Shen family to run the capital and gained a small fortune.This was regarded as a very enviable success by the people of Jingkou at that time, but Xin Bin did not want to be trapped in business affairs all his life.

Back then, when the general was passing through the capital, he threw 30 yuan just to get a chance to meet the general and make a donation in person.To be honest, at that time, his decision was not only criticized and ridiculed by some currents, but even his family members did not support him very much.

Afterwards, he followed Qian Feng to Xiangguo in the north, took risks in the heartland of Jieguo, and then followed Shihu's army to the south and returned to the south. Among the disciples of the generals, they are only second to Hu Run and a few others.And as the great general defeated the stone tiger, their disciples also rose with the tide, which made some old Beijingers who ridiculed Xin Bin in the old days envy.

However, this is not the end of Xin Bin's brilliant career. Because of his unique experience of sneaking into the heart of Jie Kingdom, in this military operation, Xin Bin was selected by Shen Mu as the candidate to lead the army to attack Xindu.

A mere farmer from Henan who has left his hometown, dares to fight and fight, and by chance, until now, he is about to step on the capital of the country of Jie, which has been raging in Hebei for many years!
"My lords and I, at this time of the masterpiece, will complete this night! If you attack the city, you will surely win!"

Today's Xin Bin is already a veteran in his fifties, and he can no longer compete for victory with his muscles and bones. The soldiers of the king's division who have come here, he raised his arms and shouted, frivolous and vigorous, not inferior to a young man!
"Siege, victory!"

Even if the battalion soldiers are all fired at this moment, there are only more than [-] people, but the [-] tiger and wolf divisions swung their arms and shouted, the sound shook the field, like thunder coming to the world!

Under the dark night, sparks lit up and gathered into a raptor. With an unstoppable posture, it rushed towards the capital of the Jie Kingdom located on the plain with incomparable ferocity!
On the other hand, the Jie army on the top of the city was already in turmoil and unstoppable. After hearing the breathtaking drums and shouts of killing from the field outside the city, many Jie soldiers already howled almost desperately: "Jin army The city is under attack! The Jin army is attacking..."

"The Jin army is weak and cannot fight for a long time! Stand firm on the city wall, and those who leave without authorization will die..."

On the top of the city, in addition to the terrified howls of the Jie soldiers, there were occasionally a few generals urging the battle hoarsely, but at this moment, the sound waves inside and outside the city were roaring, and these few noises could no longer calm the situation down. for twisting.

When Master Wang launched an attack at night, he didn't prepare enough equipment to climb over the city. Even if the soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city, they were nothing more than directing strings and shooting densely, deterring the thieves with fierce and loud shouts of killing.

On the dark city wall of Xindu, the Jie soldiers ran and fled in a panic. Some broke through the blockade of the supervising law enforcement soldiers and rushed straight into the city, while others threw the ropes they had prepared earlier in the morning to jump off the city wall to beg for Jin.
