Chapter 126: Another Empty City Plan(2/2)

He also ordered all the gates on all sides of Xiang'an City to be opened.

Jiang Qin was woken up again in his sleep. This was already the third night that he could not sleep well.

"Has someone left the city again?"

Jiang Qin had already guessed the result without waiting for the detective to report, but this result surprised him greatly.

"Yes, there are a lot of people leaving tonight." Tanzu replied.

"There are four to five hundred people? Are so many people hanging ropes out of the city?"

The detective shook his head and said: "Sima, there are more than four or five hundred people, there are estimated to be two or three thousand people. They opened the city gate and left. They were all wearing military uniforms. They walked in a panic. They may be all the enemy soldiers in the city.

He ran away. Jiang Sima, should we lead troops to chase him?"

Jiang Qin also shook his head and said: "No, if we don't chase the enemy at night, we might be ambushed. We just need to capture Xiang'an."

"Also, the enemy soldiers in the city have opened all the gates on all sides." The detective added.

Jiang Qin was delighted when he heard this: "Haha, Li Jia is treating me as General Ji Ling, thinking that I will fall into his empty city plan again. It seems that the enemy soldiers in the city must be afraid of us. There were soldiers one after another in the past two nights.

Fleeing out of the city, Li Jia knew that Xiang'an could no longer be defended, so he fled overnight. He was afraid that we would pursue him, so he repeated his old tricks and blocked me with an empty city. Hahaha, let alone there were no enemy soldiers in the city. Even if there were, I would dare

Enter the city."

"Sima, do we want to enter the city overnight?" asked a military lord next to him.

Jiang Qin pondered for a moment and said, "No, let's go in after dawn."

He ordered the entire battalion of soldiers to get ready and wait until daybreak before entering the city.

After finally waiting until daybreak, Jiang Qin led 3,000 soldiers and horses to the outside of Xiang'an City. Sure enough, he saw the city gate wide open and there were no guards on the city.

It seemed that the enemy soldiers in the city had indeed escaped.

"Enter the city."

Jiang Qin waved his hand and walked towards the city with his big sword in hand.

The military prince hurriedly asked: "Sima, is there any fraud?"

"What kind of fraud can there be?"

"Perhaps the enemy soldiers in the city have not left."

"Then who left last night? Did the enemy soldiers leave and open the city gate again, so that we don't even dare to enter the city?" Jiang Qin seemed a little angry.

"Sima, let's send someone in first to take a look."

The military lord advised again.

Jiang Qin thought for a while. Although he was not afraid, it would be better to send someone in first to take a look.

He sent two men into the city to investigate the situation.

There was no one at the city gate. When they entered the city, the two men saw three common people gathered around and talking.

They walked over and asked, "Where are the soldiers and horses in the city? Are they all gone?"

One of the people replied: "Everyone left last night. I heard that some people left in the previous two nights."

The other two just smiled and nodded without saying anything.

"Are you sure they're all gone?"

"If they don't leave, the city gate won't open."

The two men sent by Jiang Qin to investigate the city stopped asking any more questions and walked down another street. They saw some scattered civilians, but not a single enemy soldier.

After confirming that there were no enemy soldiers in the city, they quickly left the city to report back to Jiang Qin.

The common people they questioned before were soldiers disguised as common people that Li Jia had arranged before. If Jiang Qin sent people into the city to investigate, they would answer the question.

Most of the soldiers led by Li Jia were from Danyang, and their accents were similar, and Jiang Qin's people couldn't understand them.

Jiang Qin laughed proudly: "Hahaha... How can we not dare to enter, go, enter the city even when someone opens the city gate?"

He led his troops and horses slowly into the city.

When we entered the city, there were some common people on the street. After seeing them, they fled one after another.

Jiang Qin suddenly felt that the city was eerily quiet.

The always suspicious military lord next to him also felt it and said: "Sima, something seems not right in this city. Why is it so quiet?"

"You mean, the enemy soldiers haven't left yet?" Jiang Qin also had some doubts at this moment.

"It's possible that if the enemy soldiers had left, why didn't the county officials and people come out to greet them?"

Just when Jiang Qin was about to say something else, there was a sudden loud blast of drums, and many enemy soldiers rushed out from all over the streets and houses, shouting to kill, and charging at them with swords and spears.

The soldiers hiding on the city wall also stood up at this moment, raised their crossbows and fired at the enemy soldiers outside the city who had not yet entered the city.

Just as Jiang Qin's troops were halfway into the city, they were suddenly attacked by enemy soldiers. They could not figure out how many enemy soldiers were ambushed in the city.

Some people raised their swords and spears to attack, while others turned around and ran away, trying to get out of the city.

However, the city gate had long been blocked by their people. People outside the city were shot by enemy soldiers on the city wall. Those behind could run away, but those who had already reached the city gate were trying their best to squeeze into the city.

As a result, people in the city wanted to go out, and people at the city gate wanted to squeeze in, so they immediately blocked the city gate themselves.

"Quick, come with me, hold on, and slowly exit the city."

Jiang Qin shouted urgently, raised his sword and charged forward to kill.

Now they can only withstand the sudden attack of enemy soldiers and then slowly withdraw from the city. Otherwise, they may all die in the city.

Even though Jiang Qin was fierce enough and led the soldiers and horses around him to kill and retreat at the same time, he was not immediately overwhelmed.

After the soldiers and horses blocking the city gate calmed down a little, they knew that there was only one way to survive and ran out of the city one after another.

However, many people were shot dead by the enemy soldiers in the city as soon as they ran out. The enemy soldiers in the city were also pressing closer. Although Jiang Qin was brave, his own people were in chaos. It was impossible to win now.

It's good enough to escape the city and survive.

Li Jia held the handle of the knife in his hand. He did not rush forward, but only urged the soldiers from behind to fight forward.

Because hundreds of soldiers had already left the city, his troops and horses were somewhat short. He did not wait for all of Jiang Qin's troops to enter the city before taking action, but took advantage of half of Jiang Qin's troops to enter the city.

Jiang Qin fought hard for a while and was injured in many places before retreating to the city gate. His military lords were also scarred.

"Jiang Sima, leave quickly, I will lead someone to stop them."

The military lord shouted to Jiang Qin.

Jiang Qin no longer thought about it. He raised his sword and hacked to death an enemy soldier who was approaching. He glanced at the military commander again, turned around and ran out of the city.

The military lord led dozens of soldiers to block the city gate. Facing the hundreds of enemy soldiers charging towards them, they were completely fearless and rushed forward with roars.

But soon, they were all killed and fell into a pool of blood.

Li Jia led his soldiers to chase him out of the city, and chased him for three or four miles before withdrawing his troops and returning to the city.
