Chapter 370 The royal army has arrived, kill the rebels and achieve new merits!

In the forest on the east side of Chongshan Pass.

Yang Mingzhi led his soldiers to hide in the woods. They entered the forest last night. The gloomy night and dense forest became their best cover.

"Sir, the general has ordered you to attack immediately!"

The messenger came running over in a hurry. Yang Mingzhi took a deep breath and said, "I know!"

After saying this, he waved his hand to signal the soldiers around him to prepare for action.

Then they quietly moved towards the base of the city wall.

At this time they were still some distance away from the city wall. If they wanted to get closer to the city wall, they would need to climb up the steep hill and go around it.

Of course, they could also choose to walk along the city wall, where the road was very easy to walk on, but in that case, they would be exposed quickly.

The fierce battle on the south wall was still going on, but on the east wall there was complete silence, with no other sound except the sound of wind blowing through the branches.

Soon they arrived at the city wall, and luckily for them, no one on the wall noticed them.

Taking out the rope and throwing it onto the city wall, Yang Mingzhi was the first to climb up.

He carefully poked his head out from the top of the wall, and when he saw the scene on the wall, he was stunned for a moment.

It's not that there are no guards on the city wall. On the contrary, there is a row of soldiers squatting behind the battlements.

There was a soldier squatting opposite Yang Mingzhi, and when Yang Mingzhi stuck his head out, their eyes met.

The two were stunned for a moment. Just when Yang Mingzhi was about to jump onto the city wall and start killing people, the man shouted in surprise: "The king's division is here!"

"Master Wang! Where are you?"

Suddenly, the quiet city wall was filled with commotion.

Yang Mingzhi was a little confused, but he reacted quickly. No matter what the situation was, he had to climb up the city wall first.

He jumped onto the city wall and took off the two pistols on his back.

His appearance caused a commotion among the soldiers on the city wall, but these soldiers did not attack him. Instead, they retreated one after another.

Soon more and more soldiers climbed up the city wall, and they were all confused about the situation.

Yang Mingzhi frowned and looked at the soldiers, feeling a little confused.

"Who is this gentleman?"

At this time, a man who looked like a military officer stood up and asked.

"Tenglongwei Commander Yang Mingzhi!" Yang Mingzhi said in a cold voice.

"Tenglongwei, surname Yang?"

"Is he General Yang's son?"

"It seems so. I heard that General Yang has a son who used to work in Jianning Guard, but I don't know his name!"

A group of soldiers actually started discussing Yang Mingzhi's identity.

Yang Mingzhi looked at them and frowned, "What do you mean?"

"I am Lin Anguo, the commander of the rear camp of the Zhenbiao Banner. Sir Yang, we are not rebels. We were just forced by the traitor Ji Feiyu to defend the city!"

"Master Yang, we want to join General Yang. I wonder if Master Yang can help us talk to him!"

Lin Anguo looked at Yang Mingzhi with some trepidation.

He is a captain with more than 300 soldiers under his command. He is also a middle-level military officer in the rear camp of the town flag!

A mid-level military officer like him would naturally not be Ji Feiyu's confidant.

Yang Mingzhi's mind turned and he finally understood what was going on!
He was both surprised and happy. He didn't expect that someone would come to him as soon as they entered the city. This was considered luck.

"Okay, I will make the decision. From now on, you will assist us in capturing the city. Not only will you not be at fault, but you will be rewarded!"

Yang Mingzhi said without thinking.

Since he had surrendered, there was no reason for him to refuse. Three hundred soldiers were also a great help.

Lin Anguo was overjoyed when he heard this, "Yes, from now on I will obey your orders!"

Even as the two were talking, hundreds of soldiers from the Fifth Army Camp had already climbed onto the city wall.

Just then, a group of people rushed over from the south.

"What are you doing!"

"Don't gather together, everyone, please cheer up!"

A military officer in iron armor shouted at the gathered soldiers.

"He's our captain, he's Ji Feiyu's confidant!" Lin Anguo quickly explained to Yang Mingzhi.

Yang Mingzhi's eyes flashed with a cold light, "What are you waiting for? Kill them!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Anguo drew out his sword without any hesitation and shouted, "The royal army has arrived. Brothers, follow us to kill the rebels and make new achievements!"

Before Yang Mingzhi could rush forward, Lin Anguo rushed over with his soldiers.

The city wall was only about ten feet wide, but the wall that Lin Anguo was responsible for guarding was only a hundred feet wide.

Following Lin Anguo's shout, the east city wall immediately fell into chaos.

The captain who had just run over was knocked down by several soldiers in front of him before he could react.

"The royal army has arrived. Kill the rebels and establish new achievements!"

"The royal army has arrived. Kill the rebels and establish new achievements!"

"The royal army has arrived. Kill the rebels and establish new achievements!"

Shouts rang out, spreading farther and farther, and in a moment they covered the entire east city wall.

Then there was a chaotic fight.

The soldiers, who had been on edge for a long time, heard the shouts and saw their comrades fighting in front of them, and joined the battle without hesitation.

When Yang Mingzhi saw this scene, he was really surprised!
"Dad's plan worked!" Although everyone knew Yang Zhengshan's plan, to be honest, no one placed their hopes on those papers.

Even Yang Mingzhi had previously thought that these papers might be useful, but not of great use.

"Sir, we can't do anything about it!"

A captain from the fifth military camp walked up to Yang Mingzhi and said with a strange look on his face.

They were all prepared for a big battle, but now they couldn't get involved.

The narrow city wall made it impossible for the soldiers to deploy their forces fully. Moreover, many soldiers in the rear camp of Zhenbiao had defected, and the two sides were fighting in a melee. They couldn't even distinguish friend from foe.

Yang Mingzhi raised his head and looked towards the south. In order to avoid being discovered, they climbed the city wall from the middle of the east wall. At this time, they were at least three hundred feet away from the south wall.

It's not easy to travel such a long distance.

Yang Mingzhi's mind turned, "Lin Anguo!"

"grown ups!"

"I leave this to you. Gather your men and attack southward. We will seize the city gate!" Yang Mingzhi shouted.

"Sir, we will go with you!" Lin Anguo hurried back and said.

Yang Mingzhi knew what he was worried about, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, when the battle is over, I will definitely recommend you for merit!"

"You will now be in charge of the brothers in the rear camp of the town flag! Do you understand?"

What Lin Anguo feared was naturally that he would be repaid with a debt and be abandoned after his work had done nothing.

He felt that if he stayed with Yang Mingzhi and put in more effort, he might be able to avoid being retaliated against by Yang Mingzhi later.

However, Yang Mingzhi felt that it would be better to keep him here. Although many soldiers in the rear camp of Zhenbiao have defected, they do not have a complete command system and are just a group of scattered sand.

Let Lin Anguo stay. Maybe he cannot intimidate everyone, but he can serve as a leader.

Lin Anguo immediately understood what Yang Mingzhi meant and said, "I obey your command!"

Yang Mingzhi nodded, without saying anything more, and immediately led his men down the city wall and rushed towards the south gate.

In comparison, things were not going so smoothly for Yang Mingzhen. Yang Mingzhen's luck was not very good. As soon as he climbed up the city wall, he ran into a trusted captain of Ji Feiyu, and a battle to climb the city wall broke out between the two sides.

However, the garrison stationed at the west city wall was the Zhenbiao Left Camp, and the situation at the Zhenbiao Left Camp was actually similar to that at the Zhenbiao Rear Camp.

The battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour. After Yang Mingzhen killed the captain, the soldiers of the town's left camp also defected.

"Report, many soldiers on the east wall have defected, General Fei Chi is suppressing them!"

On the south city gate tower, Ji Feiyu received the report from the east city wall. His eyes were slightly closed, and his expression was normal.

Fei Chi is his confidant and has followed him for more than ten years. He is deeply trusted by him. Now Fei Chi is the commander of the rear camp of Zhenbiao and a guerrilla general. He has absolute trust in Fei Chi.

However, he could not trust the soldiers under Fei Chi's command, because the town's rear camp and the town's left and right camps were all old ones.

Simply put, most of the soldiers in these three camps were from the Zhenbiao Camp when Liang Chu was the general.

He transferred the front camp and the middle camp of the town flag from the west road of Chongshan Town.

Ji Feiyu had already anticipated that someone would turn against his side.

"Hou Yao, you go~~"

Just when Ji Feiyu was about to ask Hou Yao to help Fei Chi suppress the defecting soldiers, another soldier came running to report: "Report, the enemy is climbing the west wall!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Feiyu turned to Hou Yao and ordered, "Send your reinforcement battalion forward!"

"Yeah!" Hou Yao nodded in response.

……

Inside the city, in the prison of the general’s mansion.

The haggard-looking Lu Chongde suddenly raised his head and asked, "Is there any sound of shouting and killing outside?"

"Is there?" Ji He next door said blankly.

Ji He listened carefully and could indeed hear faint shouts and screams.

“It seems so!”

He said somewhat uncertainly.

Lu Chongde's eyes lit up, "Master Wang is here!"

Ji He listened again, "There really was a cry of killing!"

He was pleasantly surprised.

"Who did you say is coming?" Lu Chongde asked.

Ji He was stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "It might be General Niu and General Tang, they are not here!"

Lu Chongde shook his head, "Even if they were not captured by Ji Feiyu, they would not be able to attack Chongshan Pass!"

"Who could that be?" Ji He asked.

Lu Chongde thought for a moment, "Maybe it's Yang Zhengshan! No one in Chongshan Town can attack Chongshan Pass, and only Yang Zhengshan in Liaodong may have such ability!"

Lu Chongde is not an incompetent person, on the contrary, he is very capable.

However, he never expected that Ji Feiyu was King Qing's man, let alone that he would rebel. Without any preparation, he was directly imprisoned by Ji Feiyu.

Such a result cannot be blamed on him.

In comparison, Ji He's mind is simpler. If you ask him to lead troops in battle, he might be able to do it, but if you ask him to analyze the situation, that would be difficult for him.

"Tenglong Guard? I heard that General Yang managed the Tenglong Guard very well, but I don't know how strong the Tenglong Guard is now!" Ji He said, thinking about the Tenglong Guard.

Lu Chongde leaned against the wall and listened to the shouts and screams coming from outside. He didn't know how strong the Tenglong Guards were, but that didn't stop him from hoping that Yang Zhengshan could capture Chongshan Pass.

But is Chongshan Pass so easy to conquer?
Thinking about the high walls and deep mountains, Lu Chongde sighed slightly in his heart.

It is too difficult to capture the heavy mountain pass!
If he were facing Chongshan Pass, the only solution he could think of was to surround the city with a large army.
