"What were you doing on the city wall just now? I seemed to hear voices..."

There was a smell of alcohol, and a cold light flashed in Zheng Xiaoru's eyes.

Killing five Eight Banners Army scouts could not be completely silent. The problem that Zheng Xiaoru ignored was that Jingjin County Prince Nikan and Rao Yubeile Yuedong both came to the south gate after dark, and they were very dissatisfied with the Eight Banners officers and sergeants.

Satisfied, then Manba Banner Niulu Ezhen, who was stationed at the south gate, must be uneasy in his heart, and it is impossible to really sleep. There must be too many things in his mind, even though there are five thousand taels of silver expressed by Zheng Xiaoru, this Manchu

It’s really impossible for Baqi Niulu’e to feel completely at ease.

Niu Lu'er must have heard the sound on the city wall just now, so he went up to the city wall to see what happened.

It has passed Hai hour, and all preparations are in place. In about a quarter of an hour, Zheng Xiaoru will take action and cleanly kill all the Eight Banners officers and sergeants in the barracks. At this time, no accidents can occur. If

A large-scale movement on the city wall would definitely alert the sergeants patrolling the Eight Banners Army camp two hundred meters away. If all the Eight Banners Army sergeants in the barracks were dispatched, Zheng Xiaoru and his 10,000 soldiers might not be able to hold on until the arrival of the army.

Niu Lu'erzhen led five Manchu Eight Banners sergeants up the city wall and went straight to the crenellations, because Zheng Xiaoru was standing at the crenellations.

"Sir, something really happened just now. Don't worry, I have taken care of it. How about I go to the Arrow Tower to report to you what just happened..."

Niu Lu'er really looked at Zheng Xiaoru, but didn't pay much attention. He turned around and looked around. Everything was normal. He then stretched out his head to look under the city wall and in the direction of the city gate. There was nothing unusual either.

"It's strange. Did I hear it wrong? Okay, you don't have to accompany me. I'll walk around and take a look..."

Niu Lu'erzhen waved to Zheng Xiaoru and walked towards the arrow tower, followed by the rest of the Eight Banners sergeants.

Zheng Xiaoru's eyes once again flashed a cold light. The bodies of the five Manchu Eight Banners scouts who had just been killed were hidden in the open space behind the arrow tower. When Niu Lu was really close to the arrow tower, he would definitely be able to smell the smell of blood.

"Sir, as you said, I must accompany you when you patrol the city wall..."

While following Niu Lu Ezhen towards the direction of the arrow tower, Zheng Xiaoru made a killing motion towards the officer behind him. The officer waved the torch in his hand and swung it up and down three times in the direction of the arrow tower.

The best place to start is in front of the archery tower. It cannot be seen from inside the city, and the archery tower can also block some sounds.

When he was about to approach the arrow tower, Niu Luerzhen turned his head and looked at Zheng Xiaoru, with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"Zheng Dong, I've already told you, don't follow us, let's walk around and take a look..."

Zheng Xiaoru's body trembled slightly. There was still a quarter of an hour before the action. Most of the soldiers were still resting in the military camp, waiting for the order to act. If they took action at this time, there might be some omissions. However, if the Eight Banners were to

Jun Niulu Erzhen noticed the smell of blood, and the fighting was about to begin on the city wall. In the silent night, the sound of swords clashing would definitely reach the military camp two hundred meters away, alerting the patrolling sergeants.

We must take risks. There are a hundred soldiers hidden in the direction of the arrow tower. These were carefully selected by Zheng Xiaoru. One hundred men faced off against six, and they launched the attack with lightning speed. It should not make much noise.

When the smell of Ruoyou Ruowu's blood came, Niu Lu'er's expression was quite serious. He looked at Zheng Xiaoru who was not far away. He just heard an angry voice coming from the city wall, but it was not very clear.

, could it be that the sergeants of the Han army had a dispute and a fight, after all, there were no officers and sergeants of the Manchu Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners on the city wall.

"Zheng Dong, come here, let me ask you, have you Han troops caused any trouble? This is the south gate. If trouble occurs on the city wall, none of you should even think about surviving..."

Zheng Xiaoru hurriedly stepped forward, looked at Niu Luzhen and spoke.

"No, no, some brothers just started making trouble, and I have already gone to stop them..."

Niu Luerzhen looked at Zheng Xiaoru and smiled.

"What's wrong? Is it about money?"

Zheng Xiaoru gave Niu Luzhen a thumbs up.

"Your Excellency is wise, just for the sake of money. A few people just talked about the Xiping Fort..."

Niu Lu'erzhen waved to Zheng Xiaoru with a nonchalant look on his face.

"I understand. You don't need to say so much. You have to remember to guard the south gate well. Don't lose your life because of money matters. That won't work. Okay, you continue to guard the south gate..."

Niu Lu Ezhen, who was originally heading towards the arrow tower, turned around and headed towards the crenel.

The temptation of five thousand taels of silver was not small. Niu Lu'erzhen was thinking about money. As for the Han army sergeants having disputes or even fighting over money, it had nothing to do with him. Anyway, after the battle started

, these Han army sergeants basically don’t think about surviving.

Looking at Niu Lu's back, Zheng Xiaoru raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Killing two hundred soldiers under the Eight Banners was not that simple. It was impossible not to make a sound. Zheng Xiaoru had already made arrangements, and that was to take advantage of the opportunity for the sergeants on duty at the South Gate to change their posts.

During the changing of the guard, there would be some noise as the sergeants gathered, which was enough to cover up the sound of killing all the Eight Banners officers and sergeants.

...

At the eleventh hour, the sound of neat footsteps sounded, followed by noisy voices.

Eight hundred soldiers led by Zheng Xiaoru personally had rushed towards the barracks where the Eight Banners officers and sergeants were resting. Less than fifty meters in front of them were the sergeants who were gathering to change the guard.

The sergeants patrolling the Eight Banners military camp just glanced at this place and left. They were used to this scene. When the Han army sergeants changed their posts, there was always a lot of noise and noise.

Zheng Xiaoru, who was the first to enter the barracks, was targeting Niu Lu'erzhen of the Eight Banners.

A cold light flashed, and Niu Luqian didn't have time to get up. He covered his throat with his hands and looked at Zheng Xiaoru with wide eyes. Maybe before he died, he was still thinking of five thousand taels of silver. Maybe it was because of these five thousand taels of silver.

Thousand taels of silver forced Zheng Xiaoru to do something to him...

A few minutes passed, and the sergeants who were changing the guard headed towards the corridor and the city wall, and the surrounding area slowly returned to calm.

The changing of the guard took a little longer today.

The smell of blood occasionally emitted in the air, but it quickly dissipated. The doors of the barracks filled with Eight Banners officers and sergeants were tightly closed. The torches outside the barracks had long been extinguished, and the surroundings were dark.

...

City wall, arrow tower.

Zheng Xiaoru wiped the blood stains on her cheeks, looked at the dozen officers in front of her and spoke.

"The operation has begun. According to the plan, the army will launch an attack at midnight. However, I have sent the sergeant to Changting and decided to advance the time of the operation. Presumably by this time, the sergeant has already met General Zu Dashou, and the army has already moved towards the south gate.

Coming from the direction..."

"A lot of things happened tonight. Nikan and Yue Dong came to the south gate, which means that Jierhalang is already alert. It's also our good luck. If we act tomorrow night, we don't know what will happen during the day tomorrow.

matter..."

"The distribution of our troops is carried out according to the original plan. One thousand sergeants are left on the city wall, five hundred sergeants are left on the corridor, and everyone else is on guard north of the barracks. If the Eight Banners Army launches an attack, no matter how big it is,

We must resist the loss and let the army enter the south gate smoothly..."

"The most critical moment has arrived. I won't go into details about the heavy responsibility we shoulder. Okay, you all go. Remember, no matter what abnormal situation occurs, we must ensure that the army enters the south gate smoothly...

"

After all the officers left, Zheng Xiaoru did not leave the arrow tower immediately. He turned around and looked at Liaoyang City.

In Liaoyang City, there are many bright lights. Those should be the temporary residences of Manchu nobles. The place where the lights are most concentrated is the temporary camp of Jierhalang. As for the Manchu Eight Banners military camp two hundred meters away, the burning torches are not there.

Although there are many, it is not so conspicuous. There are 50,000 officers and sergeants of the Manchu Eight Banner and the Mongolian Eight Banner stationed in this temporary military camp, which shows that Jierhalang has concluded that Denglai's new army will launch an attack on Liaoyang City from the south gate.

Unfortunately, Jierhalang never dreamed that from the moment he set out from Shenyang, he would be caught in the net of the Denglai New Army.

After letting out a long sigh, Zheng Xiaoru looked at the messenger in front of him and spoke.

"You should set off now, ride a fast horse to Shili Changting, and report to General Zu Dashou that we are ready and the time to attack Liaoyang City can be advanced to the second quarter of Hai hour..."

The messenger was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zheng Xiaoru and spoke.

"General, will you open the south gate at 2:00 a.m...."

Zheng Xiaoru looked at the messenger.

"Needless to say, the time to open the south gate is the time for the army to arrive. I think the time to attack must be earlier, but we still have to be prepared to attack at midnight. If you see General Zu Dashou, you must tell Zu Dashou

General, all obstacles at the south gate have been cleared..."

When the messenger turned around and was about to leave, Zheng Xiaoru waved his hand and took out a document from his arms.

"This is a map of Liaoyang City, including the location of the temporary new camp of Jilharang. Please report to General Zu that the map may not be very accurate. The time is too tight. It was also detected at night. There may be deviations. Last time I
