C2812 Occupying the City
However, this didn't mean that the men in black had left the city. In fact, their assassination mission had just begun.
These men were all capable men, and they looked more like people from the pugilistic world. They might not be able to play much of a role in killing enemies on the battlefield. However, it would be easier for them to carry out assassination missions. This was obviously different from the people Huang Feng had exchanged for outside the pass.
Therefore, they were able to assassinate all the troops stationed at the city gate without making any noise. After that, they didn't retreat, but continued to assassinate the generals of Rebellion Army in the city.
These men in black had been sneaking into the Rebellion Army for some time now. Although they weren't able to climb very high because of Wang Cheng's vigilance... However, they had made use of this period of time to deal with the situation in the Rebellion Army... They had a rough understanding of the major generals in this city. They even knew where they lived and what habits they had.
And this information could be of great help to them in assassinations.
At this moment, they would use the information they had gathered to find the generals of Rebellion Army. Then, before they could react, they would assassinate them one by one.
The Rebellion Army had already fallen into chaos. Without the leadership of the generals, it became even more chaotic. There was no way for them to organize an effective resistance.
The people Wang Cheng left in the city didn't have any combat strength to begin with. At this moment, without a unified command, their combat strength had become so low that it made people's hair stand on end. The people who rushed into the city found that although there were many enemies in front of them, there were still a lot of them. However, their defense was like a piece of paper, and they could easily defeat them.
It was also at this moment that the people who rushed into the city... Only then did they confirm that there was no ambush in the city. The city gates had indeed been opened by their insiders, and not by the rebel soldiers who had deliberately opened them in order to lure them in.
At the same time, they were sure that what Huang Feng said was true. The main force in the city had been transferred away, and the rest were just old, weak, and disabled people.
After confirming this situation, the two generals were naturally delighted. This also meant that during the process of their occupation of the city... Once they took over the city... This meant that the Eighth Prince had won the test, and the Eighth Prince had won. The two vanguard forces had contributed the most to the city. Naturally, they would not be treated unfairly.
"Kill! Kill them all!"
The two generals could not suppress the excitement in their hearts as they led the army forward.
Because they were cavalry, they had a huge advantage when they first entered the city. They forced the enemy to retreat, but they also knew that... In the street battles, they did not have any advantage, but they wanted to completely occupy the city... The street battles were unavoidable, so they took advantage of the situation. When they had a huge advantage, they would indeed be completely crushed. It made them lose the courage and determination to resist, and that was the only way... They can take the city more easily.
The soldiers under them also understood this point, so they did not hold back when fighting.
The army in the city did not have any combat strength to begin with, nor did they have any fighting qualities. They had joined the Rebellion Army just to survive. They didn't want to risk their lives for the Rebellion Army. Therefore, without the command of the commander, the enemies were killing too fiercely. They had completely lost the courage to fight.
Large groups of Rebellion Soldier knelt down and begged for surrender. They didn't know who the enemy was. They didn't know how many enemies there were either. All they knew was... If they continued to persist, they would all die here. And they obviously didn't want to die yet.
As more and more people surrendered, the situation in the city gradually became clearer. Although there were still people resisting, it could not change the overall situation. At dawn, the Imperial Court's army had already completed their initial occupation of the city. Only a few people were still resisting, but destroying them was only a matter of time.
"Quick, send a pigeon to Eight His Highness the Prince and tell him. We have already occupied this city. The process is very smooth. " After conquering this city, the two generals had no time to rest. They hurriedly sent a message to Eight His Highness the Prince, wanting to tell him the good news.
The process of them occupying the city was indeed smooth, to a point that exceeded their expectations.
Originally, they thought that even if there were spies who opened the city gates, they would still encounter resistance after entering the city. There would definitely be a tough battle.
However, the bitter battle that they had expected did not come. Although the enemy also resisted... However, it was very weak. It was even a structured resistance. It had never appeared. It was as if all the generals in the city had been killed. No one stood out to organize the soldiers to resist.
With the matter of opening the city gates, the two generals naturally associated this matter with the insiders in the city. They had not seen and did not know who it was. And how many insiders were impressed by those insiders?
The city had been occupied, and their mission had been completed. The only thing they needed to do now was to guard the city and prevent the rebel army from stealing the city after the Eighth Prince and the others arrived.
However, although they were cavalry and were not good at sieging and defending cities, they were very confident in guarding the city.
First of all, they did not lose too much of their strength in the battle. Moreover, they had captured many captives, which could be used as laborers to transport stones and wood to the top of the city walls.
In addition, they had entered the city through the city gates before. Therefore, the city's defensive facilities were not damaged in the battle. It could be said that they had been preserved in good condition, so they could use them again.
Lastly, and most importantly... The rebel forces lacked siege weapons, and they were also not good at sieging. This had been proven in the past. They were even the cavalry in the city. They were not good at sieging.
Because of this, the cavalry were not worried that the city would be taken away again. They were looking forward to the Eighth Prince's arrival. Once the Eighth Prince entered the city, the dust would be settled, and they would not be able to escape their credit.
