Cao Can ordered his troops to travel quickly in the night, and during the day, they would hide in the valley or under the Yin Slope to set up camp and rest. Each of them would only bring three days' rations, and would light up the troops;

The two nights had passed. They had arrived at the foot of Dang County City and hid there. At the same time, they had already prepared a rope, a soft ladder, and other climbing tools.

After a while, it started to rain heavily again, but the rebel army that was hidden under the city didn't budge an inch. The wind was blowing through the grass, and from the west, five hundred Black Armored Army soldiers quickly scuttled over.

Long Tianyu came over to Cao Can's side. After instructing him with a few words, he observed the situation and what was happening at the top of the city walls.

With this speed, it would take at least more than ten days for them to arrive in the Dang County. The garrison general, Cheng Liang, was familiar with the military strategy and believed that before the enemy arrived, they would have to rest, wait for the enemy to arrive, and make a surprise move. Thus, he had ordered twenty thousand garrison troops to buy some time to rest, in order to use the elite warriors to break the enemy's tired soldiers.

Long Tianyu observed the position of the guards at the wall and the time when the patrolling soldiers exchanged blows. He felt that stealthily clearing out the patrolling guards and using the time when they made mistakes to climb up to the top of the city walls was a form of daily training for the elite troops. After hearing about it from afar, another wave of Qin Soldier s guarding the city gates suddenly disappeared. Long Tianyu knew that the time had come so he sent out an order for Xiahou Ying to take action.

Xiahou Ying slightly nodded his head, and then made the gesture of grouping up. Then, the formation changed, and a hundred elite warriors carried their tools and short swords and sneaked under the walls, followed by a hundred other warriors, with crossbows in their hands.

Xiahou Ying looked at the patrolling soldiers. The other group issued the order to climb the city before it arrived.

"Sou, sou, sou ~ ~"

The flying hooks used to climb the city were covered with soft cloth, so when they landed on the city walls, they did not make any sound.

Suddenly, they leapt to the top of the wall, and before the city guards could even turn around, they had already drawn out their daggers. One of their hands covered the corner of Qin Soldier's mouth, and with a light slash of their necks, they knocked down the guard.

Then, Xiahou Ying and the four hundred elite warriors flew up one after the other, immediately rushing towards the city gate. Each of them had crossbows in their hands, and before the battle even began, they had already killed six to seven hundred people.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the sentry in the distance hurriedly sounded the horn. Unfortunately, before the reinforcements arrived, the gate had already been opened. Seeing that the southern gate was opened, Long Tianyu took out his treasure sword and took the lead. He and Cao Can led the troops and rushed into the city.

After entering the city, the first thing he did was take over the south gate, then split the troops into two, the east and the west gate, while Xiahou Ying led the black armored elite to avoid the heavy soldiers and infiltrate the General's Manor s.

The garrison army was without any high-ranking officers leading it. The group of dragons was like scattered sand, simply unable to withstand the brave attacks of the rebel army. It was either falling or dispersing, and in the chaos, it was already on one side.

Due to Long Tianyu's order, unless they were killed, they were not allowed to disturb the people. The battle was not intense, there were many weapons of the allied army that had yet to be drenched in blood, victory was already here, after controlling three city gates, there were thousands of deserters who dispersed from the north gate, completely defeated.

Long Tianyu thought that he had succeeded in capturing the city, and his objective was already achieved. He did not send any troops to chase after the enemy, but chose the Qing Su Battle field, taking over the four walls, city gates, granary, weapons warehouse, etc.

The sky was not bright yet, Long Tianyu arrived at Cheng Chao Manor, where hundreds of Dragon Army soldiers were already guarding the courtyard, waiting for their superiors to come forward to inspect. Seeing that, Long Tianyu smiled slightly and walked into the hall of the Inner Palace, where Xiahou Ying and 5 Elite Warriors were escorting Cheng Chao, waiting for him to come out. The rest of the Black Armored Army didn't like the sight of the light. They hid themselves in the darkness of the mansion's roof and other important positions, like ghosts in the middle of the night.

Long Tianyu took his sword and sat on the seat of the main general, and laughed: "Hurry and help General Cheng release the bindings!"

Xiahou Ying waved his hand, he had already untied his own subordinates, but Cheng Gui did not know what was going on. Now that the army was defeated, even if the allied army did not kill him, the imperial government would not forgive him.

Long Tianyu said indifferently: "What are General Cheng's plans for the future?"

Cheng Ke sighed and said discouragingly: "How dare you speak so bravely to the defeated soldiers, the Dragon General uses troops like a god and struts the streets for half a day, but in reality, they have secretly ambushed and easily captured Dang County, and the guards do not even know how the rebel army managed to get here, what a pity, I hope the Dragon General will have a good journey."

Long Tianyu smiled and said: "General Cheng, you are not thinking for yourself. Aren't you thinking for the clan elders and juniors? Tomorrow, our rebel army will be fighting against Qin, not killing all of the Qin people. The Qin people, be it the old people of the six countries or the old people of the six countries, there is no difference between the poor and the poor. When the world is unified, we will all be the same people.

When Cheng Ke heard that Ji Xin wanted to join the army and send people to rescue her mother, he couldn't be wrong. Even the last line of defense was breached, and he immediately said: "How dare I hurt General Ji's son, I originally wanted to bring the old lady to my residence. Unfortunately, the Chi-ma is eccentric and won't leave the ancestral home, and I still live in front of the green willow trees in the Yan Ping street. I didn't dare to disturb her tranquility."

Long Tianyu smiled slightly and said to Xiahou Ying: "Send people to prepare good horses to entangle General Cheng, and send the general's family out of the city. When the general leads the way to Chi-ma, they will naturally meet up with their families outside the city."

"Dragon General's kindness is so great that it is unforgettable for me to forget. Without further ado, I will lead the two generals to fetch Chi-ma."

Xiahou Ying thought it was funny, but he secretly praised the marshal's tact. He also praised the marshal's tact, as he also praised him for being completely intimidated by his mannerism and for being willing to cooperate with him. Otherwise, even if he killed him, he would not be able to get any details.

In less than half a cup of tea's time, they had already arrived at the corner of the old alley. Three huts that were over a hundred meters in front of them were built in front of a row of green willow trees, and outside the fence, a creek was flowing under the small bridge. The chrysanthemums in front of the house had been beaten by the night rain until they turned golden. Seeing such a quiet and peaceful place of residence, one had to know that the master was not an ordinary old woman.

Cheng Gui then pointed to the house: "This is the residence of the Chi-ma. I will immediately call her for the elder."

Long Tianyu stopped his: "No need, even if Ji Xin comes, he might not be able to get her, I have my own thoughts, thank you General Cheng for leading the way, if the time is not early, we can leave the city as soon as possible to meet his, with my order, the allied army will not make things difficult for you, we will meet again!"

"I can't work with Dragon General, but I regret it my whole life. If I need anything in the future, I will definitely go through fire and water. I will not hesitate to take my leave." He turned around and rode towards the north gate.

Xiahou Ying asked respectfully: "Big brother Long, how do we convince the old lady?"

Long Tianyu gave a shallow smile and got off the horse and let the guards hold him back. He then took out a tattered farmer's clothes and changed into it, and smeared dirt on his handsome face, then threw the other one to Xiahou Ying: "Quickly put it on, the two of us will go over, and the rest will hide here, preparing to receive him. I have a way to persuade the old lady to follow the troops and be the lobbyist for Pengcheng."
