The night is as dark as ink, and a new moon has long been blocked by thick clouds, making the night sky no luster and the ground is also in darkness.

Dingyuan City is an important city in Zhongli County. It was previously occupied by Xu Shiji's army. When Du Fuwei led the Jiangdong League army to attack, Xu Shiji was expected to lose, leaving 10,000 people to defend the rear and retreated to Zhongli City with most of the main forces.

However, before leaving, many dead soldiers were left behind, dressed as beggars, households, businessmen, household servants, patients, etc., scattered in the city, and even people hid in the cellars and empty rooms.

After all, the Jiangdong League Army was a mess. After taking over the city, it did not search carefully. It was determined to take advantage of the victory to pursue Xu Shiji's main force. In addition, Xu Shiji sent people to burn down the household registration accounts, which made it difficult for the people in the city to have no household registration for a while, so it was difficult to investigate in detail.

At this time, late at night, black shadows gathered, and they mentioned Mo Dao in their hands, with a short crossbow, and met at the two city gates at the east gate and the north gate, preparing to attack the city gate and meet the people outside.

The news has been sent to the city. It is confirmed that midnight tonight, the inside and outside will cooperate and take over Dingyuan City.

This is a rear base for the Jiangdong League army to fight on the front line. Once this city is conquered and the food and grass is controlled, it is equivalent to breaking the food routes of the Allies on the front line.

By then, Du Fuwei would have to take the Allies to retreat south and give up the siege of Zhongli City.

Otherwise, when the army does not have enough food and grass, the front-line army will be defeated and become a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Luo Zhaoyun used a plan to attack Shanyangcang at night, destroy the Jianghuai Navy, and encircle Qingliu City, and the next goal was to quickly attack Dingyuan City.

When Du Fuwei and others received the news, they had not fully attached importance to the importance of Dingyuan City. They thought that the Dahua army was still far away, Luo Zhaoyun had already sent cavalry not far from Dingyuan City and began to seize the city.

The key to soldiers is to be quick and win by surprise has always been Luo Zhaoyun’s motto for using troops!

"It's midnight, act!" A commander made a move and led hundreds of people to bending over and smearing and approaching the city gate.

At the gate of the city, there are bonfires for heating and lighting.

There are torches on the top of the city, which illuminates the area at the gate of the city, and it still has bright light.

"Swish swish swish!"

Near the bright spot, Dahua's dead soldiers immediately shot out short crossbow arrows and shot the guards.

"Puff--"

A series of blood splashed, and many guards of the Jianghuai army were shot and killed directly.

"Go ahead, fight quickly!"

These black-clothed dead men rushed up, all of whom were tigers and wolves, and there was no problem with fighting power.

"There are some details!" The guards at the city top immediately shouted, even knocking on the gong, awakening the dozing soldiers around.

The battle has become more intense, and there is no trick, only life and death.

These black-clothed dead men are all unsung heroes. They are desperate and completely sacrificed their lives. Their mission is to score as soon as possible.

The same scene also took place at the entrance of the North Gate City and launched an attack.

The sound of fighting began, alarming the patrols in the city and began to gather at the two city gates on a large scale.

"Use explosives!"

The captain saw the dead soldiers rushing towards the city gate and was blocked. It was rare to get it in the short term. There were at least two or three hundred people in the city gate, holding spears, and the place was narrow, so it was difficult to rush in for a while.

At this time, using black gunpowder to fry, the effect is the best.

The explosive pack was lit and thrown into the city gate. With a rumbling sound, the guards inside were blown up to pieces, and their remaining limbs flew around, which was very tragic.

Dozens of black-clad dead men rushed in and chopped them up as soon as they saw them. Without resistance, they soon came into contact with the city gate and moved the beam and stone strip door bolt from inside.

After the city gate opened, a signal of arrows was emitted, and thousands of troops came to meet!

"The city is broken, go in." Outside the city at the east gate of Dingyuan, Duan Zhixuan and Lai Heng rushed in with their cavalry.

The situation suddenly lost control and Dingyuan City was in danger.

The iron cavalry broke into Dingyuan City like a torrent, and then followed the streets to attack the patrols.

Under the night, the cavalry charged forward, and the hiking soldiers could not resist at all and were quickly washed away.

The city was in chaos and it was very widespread. The east gate and the north gate were successively lost, and the streets were also occupied. Half of the Jianghuai army in the city came out to resist, while the other half escaped from the south gate and the west gate.

Kan Ling was responsible for guarding the city. When he learned that the city gate was lost, he was shocked. He knew the importance of this city. It was considered a rear base of the army in front. The food, weapons, and military pay transported from Jiangdu County and Liyang County must be stopped here for a while and then turn around.

"Come here, immediately follow the general out to resist and drive the enemy out!"

"General...General, we don't know how many enemy troops have come. And listening to the sound, both city gates were lost, and the sound of horse hooves rushed towards the general's office."

"You can't throw the city away, kill it for me!" Kan Ling took the big knife from the guards, turned over the horse, put on his armor, and rushed out of the government office.

At this time, a cluster of soldiers and horses were coming from afar, and Kan Ling brought people to fight.

The leader of the visitor was a commander, holding a horse spear, and confronted Kan Ling on the back of the horse. After 20 rounds, he lost to Kan Ling and was killed by the latter.

"The soldiers of Dahua are just like this. Isn't this the general cut off? I'll beat them back!" Kan Ling shouted, cheered up his morale and rushed towards the East City Gate.

Just after rushing through two streets, another team of cavalry came. This time, Duan Zhixuan personally led the troops. After seeing the opponent's enemy general, he charged forward with a spear.

Duan Zhixuan is also a powerful general. He used to be a general in Li Tang and surrendered to Luo Zhaoyun. He had not had many chances to make meritorious contributions. He had already held back his energy. Shortly after he broke the city this time, he led his troops to attack the government office and wanted to capture and kill the generals here.

"Thief, come and take your order!" Kan Ling waved his big sword and attacked.

Duan Zhixuan sneered and held a spear to fight.

Both of them were fierce generals, and they were hard to tell for a moment. After thirty or forty rounds, the winner was not decided.

But the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to the Jianghuai Army. There are fighting sounds around, the torches are getting brighter and louder, and the cavalry is getting louder and louder. It is obvious that the Dahua cavalry are gathering and rushing towards us.

Kan Ling became more and more anxious, and the soldiers nearby were shocked, their fighting spirit decreased, and they looked around, as if they were ready to escape at any time.

"Thirty-six strategies, leaving is the best strategy!" Kan Ling thought about it in her mind, slashed three times in a row, forcing her opponent away, and then turned around and called for the soldiers to retreat.

Duan Zhixuan pursued and stabbed his spear. While Kan Ling was not in time to defend against him, he was stabbing the opponent's left arm.

Kan Ling screamed in pain, but she had no worries about her life. She gritted her teeth and retreated, and did not dare to stay any longer.

After an hour of street fighting, the battle was coming to an end. Kan Ling was injured and broke through the siege, retreated from the west gate, and brought out thousands of people. The remaining ten thousand were killed and injured in the city. Dingyuan City changed ownership again and closed again, this place belonged to Dahua's city and strategic place.
