Chapter 481 Sixty miles at night, Liu Cheng takes Jincheng

Jincheng is the seat of Jincheng County and can be said to be the political and economic center of the entire Jincheng County.

However, Liangzhou is remote and has frequent turmoil. Its economy is far inferior to that of the mainland, and even its city walls are inferior to many city walls of the same level in the mainland.

As the seat of Jincheng County, Jincheng's defensive strength is not very strong.

After all, most of the force was taken by Ma Teng to attack Aotou Pass.

Shrouded in night, Jincheng looks quiet.

On the city wall, some braziers were sparsely lit, and the fires in most of the braziers were in a semi-dark state.

On the city wall, there were only a few sparse defenders.

The sparse defenders did not stand up and walk back and forth on the city wall, but sat there with their arms hunched and warming themselves by the fire.

One man also put the tiles on the charcoal fire to heat them, put soybeans on them to bake, and ate them as a snack at night to spend the long night.

These soldiers were warming themselves by the fire and cursing the damn weather.

Some people are complaining that the general is messing around: "My lord, they have all gone to fight at Aotou Pass. Maybe they have conquered Aotou Pass now and entered the middle of the pass.

Even if it is not attacked, with so many soldiers and horses blocking it, no enemy can come over.

We can sit back and relax here, but we are still allowed to patrol here.

He is a little kid, what does he know about military aircraft?

It’s just messing around!”

As he spoke, he felt very dissatisfied in his heart.

The little brat he was talking about was Ma Teng's second son, Ma Xiu.

This year is sixteen.

Jincheng can be said to be Ma Teng's base camp. Now in order to attack Guanzhong, he has mobilized a large number of soldiers and horses. However, if there is no one close to him guarding Jincheng, he will always feel uneasy in his heart.

The eldest son Ma Chao always wanted to be a pioneer and fight in the war, so he left his second son Ma Xiu here to guard Jincheng.

Of course, generals were left to assist.

"This crazy weather is freezing people to death, and some ghostly people are coming to attack the city.

They sleep in a warm house one by one and are very comfortable with their beautiful wives and concubines, but they leave us here to freeze!"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched himself.

"Everything on my body has been frozen. Only the skin is left. Damn it, don't get frozen!"

Without this thing, there will be a lot less happiness in the future!"

As the defenders cursed carelessly, time passed by little by little.

Jincheng is further to the northwest, and the temperature itself is lower than that of Chang'an.

The heavy snow just stopped yesterday, and now it's late at night, and the cold wind keeps blowing, making it even colder.

The darker the night, the colder and sleepier we get.

It was finally the fourth watch, but the patrolling soldiers could no longer bear it.

Holding his arms and shrinking his body, he walked quickly towards the arrow tower on the city wall.

Some people went directly off the city wall.

I came to a warm place, rubbed my hands, got into the mattress, and soon fell asleep soundly.

As for whether someone will attack the city at this time?

Anyone who has this idea must be a complete fool!

In this case, unless the enemy takes wings and flies over.

They do such things without any psychological pressure.

Being able to endure the cold on the city wall for so long is already very worthy of me.

Moreover, they have always done this before and nothing has ever happened.

Not only them, others also did this when defending the city.

The generals of the city defense also turned a blind eye to this, and did not take it too seriously.

Because they all felt that it was impossible for anyone to come and attack Jincheng.

The previous peace and quiet solidified their understanding...

When it was almost five o'clock, Liu Cheng, who had been marching all night, led his troops to Jincheng.

After marching nearly sixty miles overnight, the load on the soldiers under the opponent was not small. Some soldiers fell to the ground directly while walking. After waking up, they quickly got up and continued to follow the team.

This time, because they had to cross hundreds of miles of mud, Liu Cheng and others did not bring horses. Even Liu Cheng himself was traveling on his own feet.

The load is indeed not small.

When he arrived at Jincheng overnight, he saw the darkness above Jincheng, with no light at all. Liu Cheng had a smile on his face.

What I judged before was not wrong at all. Due to various reasons, Jincheng will definitely be neglected in defense.

Now it seems that the degree of this lack of defense is deeper than I thought before.

"Untie the rope and climb the city wall immediately!"

After climbing the city wall, don’t be alarmed first, open the city gate, and enter the city quietly..."

Liu Cheng lowered his voice and spoke to Zhao Yun and some tiger and leopard cavalry guards.

Zhao Yun nodded, and immediately took fifty tiger and leopard horse guards, prepared, and set off towards the east city wall.

There is a moat here in Jincheng.

It's just that the width of the moat is not big enough, and the weather is cold at this time, and everything is frozen.

There is actually not much difference between having it and not having it.

When Zhao Yun and his party were walking towards the city wall, Liu Cheng was also dividing his troops.

Let Cheng Lian, Li Yan, and Zhang Lu lead troops to the other three sides respectively. There are soldiers and horses guarding all the city gates to prevent anyone from running out.

The surprise attack on Jincheng is only the first step. The next step is to conceal the news and give Han Sui, Ma Teng and others a surprise when the time comes.

Therefore, confidentiality needs to be done as well as possible.

Zhao Yun came to the foot of the city wall and started spinning the rope in his hand.

Then he let go of his hand and flew to the top of the city with the rope carrying the stone, and wrapped it tightly around the battlements of the city wall.

I pulled hard with my hands and after verifying that it was very strong, I started climbing.

The speed is very fast, and the whole person looks like an ape.

After a while, they had climbed up the city wall.

He looked around, and using the light reflected by the unmelted snow, he found that there was no one there, so he was not in a hurry to confront the enemy.

Instead, he reached out and threw the rope up several times, but failed to wrap it around the city wall. He caught the rope with his hand and tied it to the city wall...

The surprise attack on Jincheng was actually declared over after Zhao Yun took the lead on the city wall.

When Zhao Yun personally led 20 people down and quietly opened the city gate, and Liu Cheng, who was waiting outside with his troops, led his troops and horses into the city, the battle became even more suspenseful...

"Don't move! Don't talk! I'll chop you to death!"

The defenders were sleeping soundly in the arrow tower when Liu Cheng's soldiers came in quietly and put a knife on their necks.

And he covered his mouth.

Then in a daze, his hands and feet were tied and his mouth was gagged.

It wasn't until they were tied so tightly that some people finally knew the identity of the person who tied them up!

Guanzhong soldiers and horses!

They are actually soldiers from Guanzhong!

After hearing the news, the shock in the hearts of these people who were tied up was even greater than if they were tied up silently.

No matter what, they couldn't believe that these people were from Guanzhong.

Because this is simply impossible!

In front of me, my lord and others mobilized 200,000 troops and blocked Aotou Pass. It was impossible for the soldiers in Guanzhong to come out in large numbers!

As for the Death Pond, it was not at all on their radar.

This correct answer was eliminated by them at the first opportunity.

It's impossible for anyone to come out of there alive!

…

"What a fool! This must be Han Sui, who took advantage of his father's soldiers and horses to leave, and took the opportunity to attack our Jincheng!
