Chapter 144: Troops approach Kaifeng, night attack!

Korea
Haizhou City

The flag on the city wall has been replaced with the flag of Daqian.

A flag with the word “Jia” fluttering in the wind!
In sharp contrast to this is a city wall that has collapsed by dozens of meters.

“Report!”

“General Qi!”

“Haizhou City has been captured!”

“We killed 300 enemy soldiers and captured more than 4,000!”

The herald is coming running!

“Eunuch Xia, I have sent a fast horse to investigate. The situation in Kaicheng is exactly the same as that in Haizhou City. What should we do next?”

Hearing this, Zhang Shen asked Xia Shouzhong who was standing beside him.

In the past, Emperor Yang of Sui launched three expeditions to Goguryeo and mobilized an army of 500,000!

The naval and land forces advanced with great force, but returned without success.

This time, Zhang Shen only brought 50,000 people across the river.

But it is unstoppable!
To be precise, the idiom “as powerful as a bamboo breaking through” is not appropriate here.

Starting from Dingzhou and Anzhou, all the way to Haicheng today.

Six major North Korean cities in a row had their city walls collapsed and high-ranking officials were missing.

A state without anyone in command.

The army captured six cities in a row without encountering any decent resistance.

So far, only a hundred people have been injured.

In his entire life of fighting, Zhang Shen had never fought such an easy siege battle.

Let the spies in the army ride fast horses to investigate.

As expected, the situation in Kaesong behind Haeju City was the same.

“The Marquis must have guessed that we would march, and took action on purpose to clear the obstacles for the army in advance.”

Xia Shouzhong had the most dealings with Jia Cong.

He also has the deepest understanding of Jia Cong.

After a long time, Xia Shouzhong also noticed it.

The most terrifying thing about Jia Cong is not his strength, but his scheming.

Seemingly acting crazy and irrational.

In fact, every step taken was measured and just within the bottom line of all parties.

Every time I do something, I plan ahead for all possible situations.

Anyone who sees this kind of intelligence will be amazed.

Looking south.

Following the official road, not far from Haeju City, we entered the Gyeonggi Province of North Korea.

After Kaesong, it is the capital of North Korea, Sanggyeong!
“General Zhang, leave two thousand men to guard the prisoners and defend the city.”

“I will lead 8,000 elite cavalry to bypass Kaesong and head straight to Shangjing.”

“You follow closely with your army.”

Just thinking of what Ge Li said about the ancestral temple of the Korean royal family of the Lee family.

Xia Shouzhong still had a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

“Don’t worry, sir. I will definitely lead the troops there as soon as possible!”

……

Kaijing City
News came that Jia Cong had conquered seven cities in seven days.

The North Korean government and the public were shocked.

King Li Yuzhe issued a series of decrees to mobilize troops from various places to come to the capital to defend the king.

Even the young and strong people in Gyeonggi Province were recruited to prepare.

Now in Kaifeng City, there are 300,000 troops.

Of course, nearly half of them were young and strong men who were given simple weapons and temporarily armed.

at the same time
More than ten miles outside the capital
Eight hundred elite cavalrymen stood in solemn silence, and the murderous aura rising into the sky formed a vague dark cloud above their heads.

It is a sign that evil spirit is about to gather.

Everyone’s eyes were bloodshot.

The “Bloodthirsty Art” is an evil martial art that uses killing to prove killing.

When you first start practicing, the more you kill, the stronger your murderous aura will be, and the faster your strength will improve.

Killed all the way from Liaodong.

When Jia Cong was training intentionally and led his troops to charge from time to time.

The average strength of the eight hundred elite cavalry has reached the eighth level of body forging!
The leader Hou Jingyun even advanced to the seventh level of the acquired realm.

The true energy overflowed like a sticky blood mist.

This is also thanks to the mysterious divine power, which can evolve into many wonderful uses.

Let the eight hundred elite cavalrymen calm down.

Otherwise, with such a fast breakthrough and the backlash of murderous intent, it would be good if only a small half was left.

“Cong’er, shall we start now?”

More than ten miles away, the city wall of Kaijing was still clearly visible under Baochai’s dragon eyes.

Upon hearing this, Jia Cong looked up at the sky.

It is now dusk.

The setting sun was blood-red, heralding the slaughter.

“Hou Jingyun, pass the order down, everyone rest, at ten o’clock at midnight, break into the city and kill!”

“Yes!”

“The general has ordered everyone to get ready!”

One order, and it’s enforced!

The eight hundred elite cavalrymen dismounted in unison.

From a distance, it looks like one person.

They took out their dry food and ate it silently, and no one spoke a word.

Killing along the way, not only strength is improved, but also military discipline and spirit.

……

A few hours passed in a flash.

Midnight
“Sister Bao, it’s almost done!”

Jia Cong stood up and stretched out his hand.

The Shinto seal quietly emerged.

Then, shadows invisible to the naked eye lurked towards Kaifeng City under the cover of night.

It is Jia Cong’s trump card hidden in the sacred seal.

Two thousand ghost soldiers!

Two thousand five hundred to be exact!
Five hundred of them were collected in Liaodong and Korea.

The ten great ghosts and gods who had been accompanying the army also quietly restored their bodies as ghosts and gods and led the army straight to Kaifeng City.

……

Kaesong City Wall

Torches were lit one after another, illuminating the city walls as if it were daytime.

At this time, 5,000 defenders were deployed on each of the four city walls for patrol.

Day and night, rotating back and forth.

The atmosphere before the war was extremely grim.

“puff!”

Just when you feel most sleepy at midnight.

A patrol team of more than a dozen people on the city wall suddenly fell to the ground and lost their breath.

The ghost soldiers kill and it is impossible to defend against them.

With the first one, there will be the second and the third!
“Enemy attack!”

Thousands of people were killed on the city wall within a few breaths.

A soldier who happened to be patrolling here shouted with all his might.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the big bell on the top of the city wall that was used as a police signal was rung.

The entire city of Kaifeng was in an uproar.

Eight martial arts wills, three great Confucian scholars’ majestic literary auras, and two spiritual monks rose up in the city.

“kill!”

Led by Black and White Impermanence, the ten great ghosts and gods failed to launch a sneak attack upon seeing the enemy.

Just change to a strong attack.

At the command, the ghost soldiers appeared!

The killing started directly on the city wall.

There are ordinary ghost soldiers at the seventh level of body forging, and there are also ghost soldiers at the seventh level of acquired body forging who lead the commander.

Every thirty-six statues are divided into a team.

In terms of combat power, they are far from comparable to the soldiers in Shangjing City who have not experienced a major war for many years and have loose military discipline.

Often, as soon as they collide, a lot of blood splatters and there are heavy casualties.

The ten great ghosts and gods directly confronted the twelve third-level masters in Kaijing City.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that there are two fewer people.

But combat effectiveness is not just determined by the number of people.

Heibai Wuchang and others were all enhanced by Jia Cong’s refined ghost power.

His strength is also counted among those in the third realm.

On the first day of the fight, General Gan Liu and the Four Seasons Generals cooperated and directly killed the two weakest martial arts innates.

By equalizing the number of people, they were completely suppressing the masters of the North Korean side.

“Ow!”

at this time.

Above the sky, tigers roar and dragons howl.

The blood dragon and the real dragon transformed by Baochai guarded Jia Cong on the left and right.

“Shui Rong!”

“Let me see where you can run this time!”

Jia Cong looked indifferent as he looked towards the direction of the Joseon Royal Palace in Kaesong City.

The Shinto seal emits thousands of divine lights.

In the dark night, it seemed as if a huge sun appeared!
