"Old Tan did a good job. He completed the task very simply. He not only guarded the city gate, but also took down a section of the city wall."

"Old Tan man, we are here, he can retire to rest first, there will be more battles for him to fight in the future!"

There was a moment of silence at the city gate, and a soldier whose right arm was injured and couldn't hold a knife said with a sad face, "Battalion Commander Tan died!"

"impossible!"

"Old Tan is so skilled and cunning, how could he sacrifice himself?"

The Qinglong Army officer who just asked where Lao Tan was said said in disbelief.

He and Lao Tan are good friends and know Lao Tan very well, and he is also envious of Lao Tan's ability to take over the important task of controlling the city gate.

How is it possible to sacrifice?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

But when he saw the corpse full of various wounds and bleeding almost dry, he had to recognize the reality that his old friend, Battalion Commander Tan, had died.

Immediately, a pair of tiger eyes were bloodshot, he didn't lie on Lao Tan's body and burst into tears, wrapped in horse leather, Lao Tan died with honor, I can't let him lose face!

The officer of the Qinglong Army watched Lao Tan's body being carried down, clenched the saber in his hand, and strode up the city wall.

Lao Tan and the others only seized a short section of the city wall above the gate tower. Now that they are here, they will take down this city wall!

Seizing and defending a quarter of the city wall of Cangde City, it will be more difficult for the Qi army to drive them out.

It is definitely easier and safer to defend the city wall than to defend the flat ground.

Zhao Bo felt a lot of pressure, and it was still very difficult to defend a city wall for two hours with such a small force in his hands.

They can only use their very limited hands, but fortunately they can use the equipment of the Qi army on the city wall, otherwise it will be difficult to defend the city wall with the short knives, long spears and hand crossbows in their hands.

Keeping it down will inevitably lead to heavy casualties.

Two hours, four hours, no matter how slow the Qi army's reaction is, these times are enough for them to complete the deployment of troops.

That's 50,000 to 60,000 Qi troops, each of whom could drown Zhao Bo with a spit, how could he be relaxed?

Kong Jingzhong knew that when the army appeared in Cangde City and the city gate had been taken away, Zhao Bo had arrived with the vanguard.

Qi Jun's reaction was slow, too slow!

If Kong Jingzhong knew the time difference between when the Azure Dragon Army scouts started to rob the city gate and when he knew about it, he would definitely want to pull the messengers out and kill them!

To pass messages at this speed, it is better to raise a few more bastards.

Their speed is even slower than bastards!

Qi Jun really did not expect that the Qinglong Army would appear in Cangde City.

And Kong Jingzhong's soldiers are not very familiar with Cangde City. They have been in Cangde County for a long time, but they basically only stay in the barracks and the city wall, rarely wandering around in the city, and they are not very familiar with the environment in the city. .

Moreover, after the Qinglong army entered the city, they intentionally expanded the battlefield, and a large number of unknown armed men also appeared in the city, causing riots, ambushing and killing Qi army soldiers, especially the messengers.

Kong Jingzhong was able to receive the news thanks to Jian Yu.

In order to annihilate the Military Intelligence Department, many Jianyu swordsmen came to support Cangde County. It happened that some Jianyu swordsmen who returned to Cangde City discovered that someone was intercepting and killing soldiers in the city, and immediately helped them.

They didn't know whether the attack on the soldiers of the Qi Army was from the Military Intelligence Department or the Black Wing, or were they the rioters who really wanted to take advantage of the chaos?

Whoever they were, there was nothing wrong with protecting soldiers.

Under the protection of Swordsman Jianyu, the messengers were able to reach Kong Jingzhong's mansion, and did not become the last news in Cangde City that the city gate had been taken away by the Azure Dragon Army.

Gao Jue, governor of Cangde County, got the bad news that the city gate was taken earlier than Kong Jingzhong.

Only one-third of the defenders on the walls of Cangde City were reinforcements brought by Kong Jingzhong, and the remaining two-thirds were still the county soldiers of Cangde City.

And some of the government servants of the prefectural government.

These yamen servants are very familiar with the environment of Cangde City, and when they saw a chaotic battle at the city gate, their leader asked them to report to the county guard.

They didn't know at the beginning that there were people in the city who intercepted them, mainly intercepting soldiers.

Of course, the yamen servants are also the targets of the Black Wings. They don't care what these yamen servants do, as long as there is anyone on the street who might maintain stability, they will cut them off.

It's just that the reaction of these yamen servants is much faster than that of the soldiers. In order to survive, they can use any moves. Even the stinky ditches and dog holes in the city have become their passages.

With such a desire to survive, even Black Wing cannot completely deprive them of their lives.

So Gao Jue got the news earlier than Kong Jingzhong, and reacted faster.

He still has 20,000 county soldiers in his hands. Although the proportion of recruits is relatively high, as long as they can reach the city wall, they will definitely be able to drive out the Qian people and regain control of the city gate!

The Qinglong army also knew that their biggest enemy was the Qi army in the barracks, and the Qi army on the city gate and the city wall was just a small obstacle.

Cao Meng had already made some preparations.

For example, please ask the Military Intelligence Department and Black Wing to help. The Military Intelligence Department is contacted by Cao Meng, and the Black Wing is to cooperate with the Military Intelligence Department.

Cao Meng didn't even know whether it was the people from the Military Intelligence Department or the Heiyi who were fishing in the troubled waters of Cangde City.

The Military Intelligence Department knew about the existence of Black Wing. When the Military Intelligence Department was first established, some personnel were transferred from Black Wing.

It's just that after they left Black Wing, they couldn't get any information about Black Wing.

Except for Yang Yuan and some important ministers (most of whom were generals and followers of the empire), not many people in Qianguo knew about Black Wing, or even knew about Black Wing's existence.

People who know about this intelligence agency are also tight-lipped ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ will not easily mention the name Black Wing to others.

Thinking that I didn't live long enough, I took the initiative to mention Heiyi, who knows if the person sitting in front of you and listening to your speech is from Heiyi?

Telling Hei Yi's information in front of Hei Yi's face, this scene is very harmonious, but the consequences are very tragic!

Regardless of whether it is the Military Intelligence Department or Black Wing, as long as he can assist him in capturing Cangde City, Cao Meng will warmly embrace them and praise them loudly!

But I don't know if they can hear it.

Cao Meng should be grateful to the Military Intelligence Department and Black Wing. If they hadn't caused riots in the city, the Qi army could have reached the city wall at least half an hour earlier.

half an hour!

It was enough for the Azure Dragon Army to lay down another city wall.

It's a pity that Zhao Bo didn't have enough troops, so he could only hold on to one city wall.

The equipment in hand is not enough, so use local materials, in addition to looting from the Qi army, there are also temporary ones made by them.

All the materials come from Cangde City.

Some came from the Qi army, and most came from the people of Cangde City.

Their goods, houses, and items in the house have all become materials used by the Qinglong Army.

If it wasn't for the lack of suitable tools, Zhao Bo would have ordered all the stones and slabs in Cangde City to be moved to the city wall.

Even so, Zhao Bo still put tens of thousands of catties of sundries, mainly stones. Wood and sand.

The Qinglong army used these things to build two lines of defense on the city wall, blocking the Qi army on the city wall in other directions from supporting this city wall.

Relying on these simple fortifications, it can hold back the Qi army for at least an hour.

This is enough!

Zhao Bo waited until Cao Meng!

After a desperate march, the main force of the Qinglong Army finally caught up with the battle in Cangde City.

Cao Meng also breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't lose completely in this adventure!
