Chapter 360: Changes at the City Gate
Chapter 360: Changes at the City Gate
Jiang Yue sat up reflexively, put on light armor in an instant, and had already slipped out of the door.
She looked at Wu Fei's anxious face and asked hurriedly:
"But have you found any traces of the Great Gold?"
Because she had ordered that a dozen people be sent out to patrol the Xuanwu Army every night and report to her immediately if there was any news.
Wu Fei happened to be on patrol today, so she received the news at the first time.
At the door, Wu Fei was about to continue knocking when he saw Jiang Yue coming out so quickly. He quickly withdrew his hand that was frozen in mid-air.
"That's right, at the city gate, those Jin people are trying to break out of the city, and now they are fighting with General Chen's men!"
Jiang Yue stopped asking questions and left the yard. She looked at the servant Fuquan who had stood up upon hearing the noise and trotted over to her and ordered urgently:
"Wake up all the Xuanwu troops!"
"Yes!" Fuquan hurriedly retreated.
The Xuanwu Army gathered in front of the general's mansion.
As soon as they heard Wu Fei's words that spies from the Great Jin were found at the city gate, they instantly became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
The relatively peaceful life in recent days has not dispelled the killing from the battlefield.
As long as the Jin envoys in the city are not removed, they, like General Yue, will always be on their mind.
At the city gate.
A melee had already begun, with a dozen Jin warriors dressed in Donglin civilian clothes fighting with more than 500 city defenders. The scene...
Very enjoyable.
To be precise, it was the Donglin soldiers who unilaterally massacred the Jin warriors, and they enjoyed it so much.
As for the reason, it is naturally the disparity in numbers.
Chen Yuan didn't join in at all, just raised his lips slightly.
Because of this fight, Chen Yuan's entire mind was on the city wall.
Little did they know that in secret, Envoy Tuoman and his close subordinates, disguised as soldiers wearing Donglin armor, were quietly climbing up the city wall and looking into the distance.
It was dark, and the soldiers from Donglin naturally treated them as their own people. Their attention was focused on the fighting in the city, so they did not pay much attention to them.
Nor did they notice that they quietly moved sideways, disappeared in secret, and a rope began to slide down.
…When Jiang Yue and other Xuanwu soldiers arrived at the city gate, they saw a chaotic battle.
But the moment she arrived, there were already dead bodies lying on the ground.
Before one wave subsides, another wave has already been planned.
As soon as Chen Yuan saw Jiang Yue, he couldn't hide the smug look on his face.
"Young General, you are too late. I have already dealt with the person!" He looked at the dead body on the ground and said:
"Take your Xuanwu troops back."
He thought that he would go to His Majesty to take credit for the achievement tomorrow.
"However, these Jin people are really smart. Even Minister Wen of the Ministry of Justice was deceived by them."
"That's strange. Most of their energy these days has been focused on Beiyan."
He thought that if he could accomplish great merit today, since there was now a young general in the city, His Majesty would not refuse him if he asked to go to war again in the future.
However, just as he finished speaking, he found that Jiang Yue's eyes changed.
Jiang Yue's eyes fell on the corpses on the ground. After hesitating for a moment, he urgently ordered his Xuanwu Army:
"Patrol the city gates and search for traces of the Great Jin!"
"Yes!" The Xuanwu Army retreated quickly.
When Envoy Tuoman heard Jiang Yue's voice, the rope had slid halfway down and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Jiang Yue is different from Chen Yuan, she has brains.
He hated Jiang Yue to death. Just when everything was ready in Dajin, she rashly appeared in his sight and caused him a lot of trouble invisibly.
Inside the tower,
"Young General, the Jin envoys and their followers are all dead, why are they still on inspection?" Chen Yuan was puzzled.
"There are still many fish that slip through the net." Jiang Yue said to Chen Yuan urgently, and continued:
"Guard the city gates well. Be careful that the Jin army will take advantage of your lax defense during the victory and launch a fierce attack!"
Suddenly, a figure flashed on one side of the city.
Jiang Yue turned around and was about to charge forward, but seeing that Wu Fei, Xue Wen and other Xuanwu soldiers had already been fighting with those people, he paused and his brain started to work rapidly.
Chen Yuan also looked at the fight in front of him, and then saw Song Jie, Wu Ding and others following the fighting figures and chasing after them. He secretly praised the reaction ability of the Xuanwu Army.
Noticing the tense look on Jiang Yue's face, he smiled indifferently and said:
“Even if there are still traces of the Great Jin in the city, their plan has failed.”
"Have you ever thought about why they dare to come here to provoke and leave the city with only a dozen of them?" Jiang Yue said as he continued to observe the corpses on the ground.
Chen Yuan: "Are they trying to make a feint to the east and attack in the west?"
Only then did he realize that there was no trace of the envoy Tuman among the dead bodies on the ground.
Jiang Yue: “It’s possible!”
She originally thought that when she reached the city gate, she would see hundreds of people from both sides fighting each other.
After all, only in this way can the people of Dajin have a chance to fight for their lives.
That’s right, she felt that there must be more than a dozen Jin people in the city.
She felt that the Da Jin were good at disguise, and they might be beggars or passers-by, and there might be quite a few of them mixed in with the people in the city.
Of course, these are just her guesses.
After all, His Majesty had just given her the task two days ago, and her time was limited, and the content she could find was also limited.
Outside the city wall, the palms of Ambassador Tuoman and his subordinates were all raw and their bodies were extremely unbalanced, but they were still very careful, fearing that they would make any noise.
Looking at the ground getting closer and closer, Envoy Tuoman felt nervous, excited, and impatient.
Finally, the master and servant's legs finally touched the ground.
At this moment, his palms were already red.
After the two landed, they sat on the ground to steady themselves.
Then, my legs became so weak that I couldn’t walk.
Too exciting and thrilling.
Even if a dozen or so warriors of the Great Jin were sacrificed, as long as they could escape successfully and inform their general that Donglin only had 10,000 soldiers, the good days of His Majesty Donglin would be over.
They have more than just this news.
Now, Tuoman still carried a map of the topography of the eastern capital city with him, so that when their army broke in, they could find the imperial palace as quickly as possible and kill Zhao Chongxiu.
Of course, they also left a contact person in the city and have agreed on a date, which is next month.
The next month, the outside army attacked the city and set fire to the city.
