Turbulent Times Chapter 1441: Broken City (Part 2)

On the city wall of Boling County, Li Jing could actually only see signs of the collapse of the Far East Army's central camp, but he couldn't see the specifics at all.

At this moment, there were faint shouts of killing in the direction of the county guard's yamen in the city.

Li Jing frowned, and shouted: "Go to a group of people to see what's going on?"

A lieutenant next to Li Jing immediately agreed, and ran down the city wall with five hundred people and left quickly.

"I'm afraid there are many spies from the Far East Army in the city, or people from the Special Forces of the Far East Army. It may be very troublesome to deal with these people." Li Jing suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Thinking like this, Li Jing was about to send another team to search for spies in the city, when suddenly a shout came from the east of the city, resounding through most of Boling County.

"It's not good, the grain and grass are on fire, come and put out the fire."

Li Jing's face changed, and he turned his head to look, and found that the east of the city was already full of flames, and the location was where the grain and grass were. His face suddenly turned ugly. One of the most critical points to be able to defend the city of Boling County is to have sufficient food and grass. Otherwise, no matter how strong the soldiers defending the city, no matter how good the command of the general is, it will be useless. Without the guarantee of food, the army's The morale of the army can be dissipated immediately, and the morale can be lowered to the bottom in an instant. The consequences are disastrous!

Li Jing immediately ordered to a general next to him: "I specifically ordered that the surrounding areas of several large granaries and several hay fields have been cleared, and the distance from each other is far enough, in consideration of someone setting fire to the grain and grass. Look at the fire, only one or two places have been burned, you should immediately take people to sit in town, and you must strictly guard the other grain, grass and hay fields to prevent them from being set on fire by thieves.”

Cui Shenggang, the lord of the Cui family, suddenly said: "Don't mobilize too many troops, in case the battle situation outside the city changes, there are not enough troops to defend the city. There are still two thousand troops in the Cui family's ancestral house. I will send someone Mobilize a thousand people to guard the food and grass."

Although Li Jing feels that there will not be any major changes in the battle situation outside the city, but when he thinks that there are only about 25,000 troops left in the city, there are about 15,000 on the top of the city, and nearly three thousand soldiers at each of the other four gates. Thousands of guards.

The number of people is indeed not much, and they are thinking of mobilizing the troops at the city gate. At this time, a soldier of the Cui family ran up in a panic, with a mournful look on his face, and said to Cui Shenggang, the leader of the Cui family in a panic

: "Master! It's not good, there are assassins in the ancestral house, the food has been poisoned, more than a thousand people in the mansion have been poisoned and passed out, and nearly half of the two thousand guards have been poisoned to death."

"What did you say?" Cui Shenggang's face changed drastically, his face was in disbelief, and he walked over three steps at a time, grabbed the soldier by the neck, and asked loudly.

The soldiers cried and said: "Master, the thief poisoned the well, and it is a chronic poison. It took half a day to drink the water before it took effect. During this time, everyone in the mansion has already drank water. So all were poisoned, but except for nearly half of the guards who were poisoned to death, the others were just unconscious."

Cui Shenggang shook his body, and asked with luck: "Where are my seven sons and a dozen grandchildren?"

The guard hurriedly said: "The young masters and young masters have not been found, it seems that they were kidnapped by thieves."

"Come here, give me an order. Each city gate sends 1,000 people to guard the food and grass and put out the fire. In addition, 3,000 people will be taken from each section of the city wall to search the whole city to find these despicable Far East Army spies. I want Burn them alive." Cui Shenggang gave the order without consulting Li Jing, and after giving the order, he hurried down to the top of the city with a group of soldiers to rescue his children and grandchildren.

Li Jing wanted to stop him, but in the end he hesitated to say anything. His military power came from the Cui family and various clans. The Cui family was almost wiped out. Cui Shenggang fell into a state of rage.

This order needs to be issued to each section of the city wall and each city gate. There are a lot of people sent out. The guards around Cui Shenggang and Li Jing are reduced by half, but Li Jing can no longer take care of so many. He wants to readjust the defense.

………

Outside the city, the battle in the Central Army camp of the Far Eastern Army was coming to an end. Nearly ten thousand cavalry led by Xiong Kuohai rushed out of the Central Army camp of the Far Eastern Army and rushed towards the city gate.

Looking at this scene, Li Jing felt a little regretful in his heart. In his opinion, the attack on the camp outside the city seemed to kill a lot of enemies, but in the end, the Far Eastern Army did not collapse.

By the light of the fire, he recognized the flag with three-color horizontal lines beside Xiong Kuo Hai.

The flag that Commander-in-Chief Dugu Changsu said was used to distinguish the authenticity from the fake, and in order not to lose it, it was just taken out in Xiongkuohai under the city.

After Li Jing confirmed that it was the friendly army, he waved his hand and ordered the city gate to be opened and let people in. The giant stones blocking the city gate were quickly moved away, and a suspension bridge was put down at the top of the city.

Nearly ten thousand elite cavalry rushed in, people like dragons and horses like tigers, but the moment they rushed in, they swung their scimitars at the defenders in the city, and the killing began.

Seeing this, Li Jing on the top of the wall suddenly changed his face, his face was incredulous and unbelievable. He was about to say something or give some order, but suddenly his heart froze, and he flashed to the left. The person closest to him A bodyguard stabbed the air with a short knife, but three bodyguards slashed at him at the same time, five steps behind Li Jing.

Li Jing roared, drew his sword and slashed three times like lightning, and even blocked the three swords, but the huge force came from the sword one after another, making him unable to control his body, and fell from the top of the wall .

After the fifty soldiers around Li Jing were stunned for a moment, their eyes turned red immediately, and they became insane in an instant. They were extremely loyal to Li Jing, and at this moment they recklessly killed the four assassins. But before they could make a move, the other nine soldiers had already struck first. These nine soldiers, including the four who fought just now, were all dressed up by the nine most powerful killers of the Far Eastern Army's military intelligence office.

When Wang Junlin established the Military Intelligence Office of the Far East Army, in addition to a large sum of money, he selected a group of spies and masters from the Lanyiwei Mansion and the Wulin Guild as core personnel. The first-class masters selected by the guild have become top killers after undergoing killer training on Snake Island.

Although Li Jing's fifty personal soldiers were extremely brave on the battlefield, they were desperate at this time, but they were still no match for the thirteen masters of the Far Eastern Army's military intelligence office. After four or five breaths, all fifty guards were killed kill.

But the fighting on this side has alarmed the defenders on other parts of the city wall, and a large number of people rushed to this side. Although the thirteen people are powerful, they will die if they are surrounded by the army, but they are obviously prepared. , each took out a large jet black folding umbrella from their bosoms, opened them, raised them above their heads, and jumped directly out of the city.

After the jump, they were still looking for Li Jing's body, but they couldn't find it.
