Chapter 459 Khitan Army Enters the City

The loyal Ma Rong has been completely conquered by Li Cunxi in recent years.

He was fully aware of the cruelty of tonight and even of this war, and he also knew that not all of the Snake Spirit members in the Right Guard were convinced.

If there are generals who appear to be working for the country but are actually ready to turn against it tonight, there will be danger within the Right Guard.

Unfortunately, this danger cannot be avoided in advance.

Li Cunxi had already reminded Su Honghui, but the other party had not found any clues.

Su Honghui already knows the details of the generals who really command more troops, as long as they are members of the Snake Spirit, or they are simply Su Honghui's men. Such people cannot rebel.

However, Su Honghui did not know how many Snake Spirit members there were in Youwei Guard besides them.

To be honest, the plan set by Li Cunxi still had considerable risks, but the Khitan army was just outside the city, and Youweiwei and Yingzhouwei could not afford to waste time.

After walking out of the room, Li Cunxi looked up at the sky.

"Forget it, the top management has already screened it."

"Those guerrilla generals don't have many people under their command, so they shouldn't be able to make any waves."

"It's so funny. What kind of waves can a group of people who can never enter the central army tent at any time make?"

"Do you really think everyone is Li Yuanfang?"

Li Cunxi comforted himself with a few words and turned to look at the maid passing by.

"Go to the kitchen and ask them to send tonight's meal to my room. I want to dine with Master Wu, the leader of the Demon Spirit Pavilion, and Master Liu."

"Twelve or thirteen dishes will be enough."

The maid showed a surprised expression, but still responded and hurried to the kitchen to urge.

……

It's night, midnight.

The commander of the north gate estimated the time and prepared to order his men to guard the city gate and be ready to welcome the Khitan army into the city at any time.

Not long after, a figure, protected by five or six people, sneaked up the city wall.

"Governor Qiu?"

The guard exclaimed when he saw who was coming.

"Aren't you waiting for the Khitan army to enter the city and cause chaos in the city, and then taking the opportunity to escape from prison with the help of your brothers?"

Qiu Jing shook his head in panic and said nothing. The next second, a man next to him stepped forward and chopped off the head of the city gate guard with a knife.

Hu Jinghui, wrapped in a nightgown, took off his hood, pulled off the black cloth covering his face, and smiled coldly.

"Fool, your governor Qiu has been poisoned and silenced by us."

"What Cun Xi said is indeed true. These people are all subordinates of Qiu Jing and She Ling!"

"kill!"

The demon spirit that followed Hu Jinghui threw out its chain copper claws, which directly wrapped around the necks of the two guards.

"kill!!"

The guards at the city gate reacted and attacked with their swords raised.

The city gate guards under the tower intended to provide support, but were all killed by Li Yuanfang and nearly a hundred Qianniu Guards.

Several soldiers who were about to open the door for the Khitan army had their necks broken and were dragged into nearby houses.

"Cun Xi still has some ideas. The people nearby have all been taken away. This place can just become the main battlefield. I won't feel bad even if it burns down."

After Li Yuanfang dealt with the people under him, he became more and more accepting of Li Cunxi.

The defenders on the city wall were quickly killed by Hu Jinghui and Mo Ling.

After dragging the corpses together and placing them there, Hu Jinghui changed into the clothes of a city gate guard and stood on the top of the city wall with the Qianniu Guards.

Under the orders of Wang Xiaojie and led by their own general, the soldiers of Youweiwei ambushed not far from the city gate.

A large number of Khitan troops soon appeared outside Chongzhou City.

The leader was none other than Sun Wanrong, who came on horseback, slowly raising the scimitar in his hand.

Hu Jinghui and Sun Wanrong could not see each other clearly under the cover of night and could only judge each other's identities based on their positions.

"Open the door." Hu Jinghui turned around and ordered.

The demon turned and ran down the city wall, giving orders to several soldiers.

The city gate was quickly opened. Sun Wanrong breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand. The cavalrymen behind him followed him and rushed inside.

The soldiers in charge of guarding the gate had already gone up to the city wall. According to the original plan, they, as pretending to be defenders of the city wall, did not need to participate in the battle next.

Those Khitans would not turn their knives around and attack them.

Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang turned to the stairs, looked down at the Khitan army pouring into the city, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corners of their mouths.

"We should hide now."

Hu Jinghui chuckled and hid in the arrow tower with a group of Qianniu Guards soldiers.

In Chongzhou, only three hundred meters away from the city gate, a roar like thunder rang out.

"Shoot the arrow!!!"

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, countless torches were raised, archers drew their bows and arrows, and nearly ten thousand arrows were shot at the Khitan army.

Sun Wanrong, who was rushing in the front, was about to be hit. Hundreds of his personal soldiers immediately surrounded him and used their bodies as shields to block the wave of arrows for Sun Wanrong.

Although Sun Wanrong survived, almost all of his personal soldiers were killed in this hail of arrows, and only a few soldiers in the middle who were hugging him were still alive.

Even the two thousand cavalrymen who were at the forefront and had already deployed their battle formations were killed by this wave of arrows, eight out of ten of them.

After all, these leather armored soldiers have too many exposed parts, and the protection of the leather armor is not as good as imagined. One arrow will make the soldiers fall down with their heads raised.

"who is it!!!"

“Who is it!!!!” Sun Wanrong roared.

Amidst the flames rising into the sky, a figure rode out on horseback, surrounded by many generals.

"You are Wang Xiaojie, the great general of the Right Guard of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"Your attack is the plan of Li Cunxi, the governor of Henan Province of our Great Zhou. You fools have been fooled by Governor Li!"

"Mr. Sun, I advise you to tie your hands and surrender. There is still a glimmer of hope."

"Otherwise, tonight in Chongzhou City will be the day of your death!"

As Wang Xiaojie spoke, he looked towards the city gate.

Sun Wanrong cursed:

"You damned beast, you damned evil creature!"

"Do you have the nerve to persuade me, Sun Wanrong?"

"Don't I know what you mean?"

"I expected that by now, the city gate guards would have come down to seize the gate, right?"

"Once they close the gate, we will be dead!"

Sun Wanrong cursed as he rode away on his horse.

He is not a fool. After the Khitan and the Great Zhou had a falling out, Wang Xiaojie still came to recruit him. The problem was extremely big.

However, the Khitan army is now entering the city in a steady stream, and it is quite difficult for the defenders at the city gate to seize the gate.

Just as he thought, Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang brought the Qianniu Guards to the city gate and started a massive massacre.

However, the large number of Khitan soldiers did not give them any chance to seize the gate.

Fortunately, the narrow city gate could not accommodate too many soldiers, so Hu Jinghui, Li Yuanfang and others were not under much pressure.

"Humph!"

"Fire arrows!"

Wang Xiaojie gave the order coldly.

Suddenly, there was another rain of arrows flying across the sky.

The Khitan soldiers who had no time to retreat were shot by arrows and fell to the ground one after another.
