C1571 They Took It down



C1571 They Took It down

The battlefield is cleaned up very quickly, and the reinforcements are on their way to help, therefore, other than weapons, they didn't bring much supplies. Therefore, there was nothing to clean up. In addition, at this moment, those soldiers had already given up on resisting. They were not unhappy with the reorganization of the imperial court's soldiers. They even actively cooperated.    

    

Hence, it did not take long for the battlefield to be cleaned up. Huang Feng asked some soldiers to take the captives away. He took the three thousand slave soldiers he had exchanged for as well as most of the other soldiers. He quickly headed in the next direction.    

    

The surrounding counties were currently under the control of the generals and the uprising army. Hence, after Huang Feng attacked the county earlier... The soldiers in the surrounding counties would send reinforcements, and Xinqi County was just one of them.    

    

Huang Feng did not take down Xinqi County immediately. After all, there were not many soldiers there. To him, that place was just a bag that could be taken at any time. The most important thing right now was to eliminate those people's forces. As long as those living forces were eliminated, the surrounding counties... There was nothing to be afraid of. When the time came, it was very normal for them to voluntarily surrender.    

    

With this thought in mind, Huang Feng naturally wouldn't choose to attack the county at this time.    

    

And because of the previous battle, so, at this moment... The morale of Huang Feng's soldiers was high. Huang Feng was now in their hearts. He was like a god with Huang Feng. They felt that they would be invincible.    

    

Therefore, in the next two days, Huang Feng chose to attack the county town. He had always been in a state where he was going to be attacked. But... They were always close to being beaten down. The defending troops in the city thought that they were the ones who repelled the imperial court's army. Those who guarded the county did not know that it was Huang Feng's order. He told his subordinates not to really take down the county for the time being, as long as they maintained the pressure on them.    

    

The people in the city didn't seem to know about this situation. They felt as if they had seen the hope of guarding the county. So... While one side was actively preparing for battle, the other side... They were also constantly asking for help from the surrounding cities.    

    

As for the defending troops of the surrounding cities, they had also wrongly estimated the actual situation there. They thought that things were really as they knew. Huang Feng's imperial army. They couldn't take down the county. As long as their reinforcements arrived... If they worked together from the inside, Huang Feng's imperial army would be defeated.    

    

Hence, reinforcements came one after another. However, none of them could reach their destination. It wasn't that they didn't want to go, but rather, on the way... They could always be ambushed by Huang Feng, and even, which path they took... Huang Feng was well aware of that. After that, he would set up an ambush early on, eliminating the reinforcements one by one.    

    

The reason Huang Feng was able to discover the reinforcements ahead of time was naturally because he had the eaglet. The eaglet had always been in the sky, acting as scout's role. With it, Huang Feng always knew the direction of the reinforcements in advance, and the route they took. As well as their military strength and so on.    

    

With this information, it would be much easier for Huang Feng to ambush those reinforcements.    

    

Hence, reinforcements were eliminated by Huang Feng one after another. The army of the Imperial Court seemed to recall that this was how Huang Feng led them back then. They conquered cities after cities, and in the end, within a month... Overthrew the former regime.    

    

And now, their enemies had changed. But... What remained unchanged was that Huang Feng was still leading them to victory. No one could resist their attacks. They even discovered that... At this moment, Huang Feng was even more powerful than before, and there were some mysterious colors on his body. The huge black cauldron and Huang Feng could actually fly. This made the army of the Imperial Court... They admired Huang Feng in their hearts, and even felt like facing a god.    

    

In just two to three days, Huang Feng had eliminated many of the surrounding reinforcements. There were not many enemies left, and he was afraid that they would not come again. No matter how slow they got the news, they should know by now. There was an ambush on the way to rescue them, and they would not be able to get there.    

    

"Alright, we can take that place down now" Huang Feng said to his subordinate. Since there wouldn't be any reinforcements coming, then, the county had lost its function. Now, it could be completely occupied.    

    

The army there waited for Huang Feng's order. It had been a few days. They had been on top of the city wall many times. As long as they kept going, they would be able to take it down. However... Because of Huang Feng's order, they could only give up on occupying the entire city. Furthermore, they had to pretend that they were no match for the enemy. The fact that they were forced to retreat made them very unhappy.    

    

And now, these days had finally come to an end. Huang Feng had finally given the order to occupy this county.    

    

"Great. Let our brothers work harder. We will have dinner in that county office tonight!" The officer in charge of attacking the county said.    

    

At this time, there was only about two hours left before dinner time. They were still resting and did not attack. However, after the other officers heard his words, they did not refute because in their opinion, it was completely possible.    

    

"The sound of the bugle horn sounded once again. The imperial army began to gather. The soldiers on the city wall were originally resting, but at this moment, they were also attracted by the situation outside.    

    

"What's going on? The sky is about to turn dark, and the Imperial Court's army wants to attack right now? Could it be that they want to fight a night battle? "    

    

" That's a little strange. In the past few days, the imperial court's army attacked during the day and stopped in the evening. Why is it abnormal today? "    

    

The soldiers on the city walls looked at the imperial army gathering outside. They all felt very puzzled. After a few days of fighting, they already had some understanding of each other, even though they were somewhat puzzled. Why was the imperial army's combat strength stronger than theirs? However, it was not able to take down this county. However, they also knew that the army of the Imperial Court outside... Every day, they would only attack when the sun rose and end in the evening. They had never had the intention to engage in battle.    

    

And it was indeed very unusual to do so today.    

    

"Stand up, those who are still alive, stand up. The imperial court's army is about to attack. All of you, get ready." At this moment, the commander on the city wall loudly reminded them.    

    

Hence, the soldiers who were resting stood up once again. Take it well. Weapons! Wait for the arrival of the imperial army! Many people were still complaining in their hearts. The imperial court's army was really looking for trouble. They could not take it down, so why would they disturb their rest? What a waste of time.    

    

As the garrison of the county town, they quickly received the news. He was also a little surprised, but he didn't take it too seriously. After all, the Imperial Court's army had already attacked them many times. Weren't they still able to defend against them? Hence, he was not too worried about the attack of the imperial army.    

    

In fact, what he was even more confused about was the reinforcements from the surrounding counties. Why hadn't any reinforcements arrived yet? Why hadn't any of them appeared? This was somewhat inconceivable. He also did not understand. Before the battle began, they had all agreed that once a county was attacked... The other surrounding counties had to provide assistance. Logically speaking, there should be reinforcements coming.    

    

However, up until now, he had not even seen the reinforcements. Could it be that those people wanted to see him get destroyed? They wanted to eliminate dissidents? But weren't they afraid of being defeated by Huang Feng one by one?    

    

The general could not understand. In fact, what he did not know was... The reinforcements had arrived, but they had all been eliminated halfway. Of course, the generals of the surrounding counties had also sent soldiers. They wanted to tell him the actual situation, but the county had been completely surrounded. The soldiers who came to deliver the message were simply unable to break through the encirclement. Entering the county, so until now, he still did not know the specific situation.    

    

Just as the general was thinking about what was going on, suddenly, he heard the sounds of fighting in his ears. Moreover, the sounds were getting louder and louder, making him frown.    

    

"Someone, go and see what's going on outside." The general said.    

    

At this moment, a soldier stumbled into the room. As he ran, he shouted, "This is bad, General. The people from the Imperial Court are here!"    

    

"What?!" The general was shocked and stood up abruptly. His face was filled with disbelief. "How is this possible? Didn't they just start attacking? Why did they attack the city so quickly? Where are the people on the city wall? "    

    

" General, the imperial court's army took over the city wall with a single charge. The brothers on the city wall either died in battle or surrendered. The city gate was also opened. Now, the imperial army outside had already entered the city. General, let's run! " The soldier said in panic.    

    

"How is that possible? How could this be? Weren't they able to block their attacks all along? Why was the city wall taken down by a single charge? Did a mole appear on the city wall?" The general who was defending the city still did not understand.    

    

However, no one could answer his question now. The sounds of battle outside were getting closer and closer. Clearly, the army of the Imperial Court was not far from them. If they did not leave soon, it would be too late.    

    

Hence, the few personal soldiers of the general pulled the general out, wanting to leave the city before the army of the Imperial Court arrived.    

    

However, it was clear that their efforts were in vain. The entire county was surrounded, and they could not get out at all. Not long after, they were captured alive by the soldiers who entered the city. In less than an hour, the entire county was declared lost.
