These fifty soldiers were elite soldiers selected by Yan Qing from 10,000 soldiers. They were all very skilled in martial arts and had rich combat experience. They could fight against five or even more with one, led by the powerful general Zhao Wu.

They also gave up the bamboo ladder method, but used soft ladders to climb up against the city wall, making it more hidden.

Soon, fifty soldiers led by Chen Jiang to the northwest corner. Every time Chen Jiang entered and exited the city, they would go up and down from here.

He looked at Zhao Wu and waited for Zhao Wu's order. Zhao Wu looked at the direction of the city tower and calculated for a moment. This place was far away from the North City or the West City, and it was indeed a place where the upper city was very understood.

Zhao Wu nodded, "Go!"

Chen Jiang spitted into the palm of his hand, rubbed it twice, and then climbed around two vacant bricks. He was extremely skilled and climbed quickly like a gecko. In a very short time, he climbed to the top of the city, making Zhao Wu sigh secretly. If he trained a thousand such climbers, there would be no need for any siege ladders at all, and sneak attacks on the city would be invincible.

Chen Jiang climbed the battlements and looked at both sides. The city heads on both sides were empty, and there was no soldier. He gently flipped over the city head and waved downwards.

A soldier with a big and round waist threw it hard and threw it on a roll of rope ladder. Chen Jiang leaned over and grabbed it, put the rope ladder onto the battlements, and then sorted it out and threw it down.

Zhao Wu was the first to get on the rope ladder and quickly climbed towards the city. The soldiers below were one after another. Soon, all fifty soldiers climbed to the city.

The Song soldiers did not stop and quickly bent down to the city wall toward the city tower. According to the intelligence station, the Jin soldiers stipulated that each city gate would be on duty at night during non-war periods, including 80 people at the top of the city and twenty people under the city.

It was already hot at this time, and the soldiers guarding the city fell to the ground and leaned on the city tower to sleep. The Song soldiers acted quickly, each of whom was responsible for controlling one person, covering their mouths and slashing their necks with a fierce knife. In just a moment, the eighty soldiers were killed by them cleanly. They put on enemy armor and walked down the corridor toward the city.

Twenty soldiers under the city also leaned against the corner of the wall to sleep, but there was a vague sound of clamoring from afar, and it was time for the third update.

A escort waved his hand, and twenty sleeping soldiers had their lives before they could understand.

The Song soldiers began to quickly start the city operation. They put down the suspension bridge and slowly opened the city gate. A soldier lit a torch and threw it under the city. This is the signal agreed by both sides.

Yan Qing was overjoyed in the distance and immediately shouted: "Enter the city!"

Ten thousand soldiers immediately ran, and they accelerated and rushed towards the city gate.

Seizing the city gate is only the first step, but the second step is the second step, annihilation of 20,000 Hebei troops in the city. This is the main reason why Yan Qing did not want to use the thunder of the sky. He was afraid of disturbing the defenders in the city.

The military camp is near the North City, completely opposite to the Jin army camp outside the city. The Hebei army's military camp covers an area of ​​more than 200 acres, which is small and narrow, and there is not even a training camp. The front door of the camp is brightly lit, and there are more than a dozen people standing guard. They did not fall asleep, but they yawn for the sky.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly noticed an abnormality, and countless people appeared on the street opposite. He was shocked and asked anxiously: "Who are you?"

The answer to him was a storm-like arrow, and more than a dozen soldiers were shot in arrows and fell down screaming.

Yan Qing drew his sword and shouted: "Run in, those who surrender will avoid death, and those who resist will kill them regardless!"

Ten thousand Song soldiers rushed into the camp like a torrent. The Hebei soldiers who were sleeping were about to face a catastrophe.

At the fifth hour, about twenty miles east of Daming City, several Song soldiers climbed on a big tree and looked at the direction of Daming City. They dared not sleep, and even dared to blink easily. They were flowing beacon towers, responsible for sending messages to the Ruan brothers by the Yellow River.

At this time, three rockets soared into the air above the head of Daming City. Three red flames passed through the sky. A Song soldier pointed at the rocket and shouted excitedly, "Look, the signal is here!"

The three Song soldiers did not dare to delay. They immediately drew out three gunpowder arrows, drew their bows and lit the fuse, pulled them all over the bow and shot them into the sky. The three gunpowder arrows also crossed the sky brightly. Soon, twenty miles eastward, three more gunpowder arrows rose into the air.

On the Yellow River about thirty miles away from Liaocheng Wharf, the Ruan brothers led fifty warships to be parked quietly on the water. They were waiting for news from the direction of Daming City.

The combat plan given by Du Shuai was closely linked and very thorough. Once Yan Qing captured Daming City, the Fan brothers would immediately lead the navy to destroy ships on the Yellow River, cut off the return of the cavalry to the south, and also cut off the way for the Jin soldiers from Hebei and even Yanshan Prefecture to cross the river to the Central Plains. At least before winter, the Jin soldiers could not go south. By the time the Yellow River freezes, the entire Central Plains had already become a world.

This is the fundamental reason why Li Yanqing placed the point of breaking the deadlock in Liangshanpo.

At this time, the mast looked into the eyebrow shouted: "Two generals, rockets on the shore have appeared!"

The Ruan brothers stared into the distance and saw three gunpowder arrows rising into the air. Bright flames passed through the sky. This was Daming City's success. Ruan Xiaowu immediately ordered, "The fleet sets sail and attacks the Liaocheng County Wharf!"

Fifty large ships pulled up their anchors, opened their sails, and woven into diamond-shaped combat formations to fight towards Liaocheng Wharf 30 miles away.

Liaocheng Yellow River Wharf is still thirty miles away from Liaocheng County, but it is currently the largest wharf on the Yellow River, which is also because it makes it easier for the Jin soldiers to move south from Daming Prefecture.

In the past two years, the Jin Dynasty expanded it twice in a row, so that it could accommodate more than 200 cargo ships at most. At the same time, the Jin Dynasty also built fifteen grain and grass warehouses on the dock to facilitate the transfer and transportation of grain and grass materials.

Thirty thousand troops were also transported across the Yellow River just as the night fell. More than 100 ships were mooring at the wharf. Tens of thousands of civilians were transporting grain and forage overnight. The dock was brightly lit, and the eighty large ships were filled with forage and forage, and they were quietly moored on the other side. The boatmen all looked for their own places to sleep.

The other forty cargo ships were moored at the dock, and teams of civilians carried fodder and grain bags to transport them to the ship. Several Hebei soldiers stood viciously at the bow of the ship with whips in their hands, constantly whipping the whip at the slower civilians, "Hurry up! Hurry up!"

At this moment, several soldiers shot from the darkness, and three soldiers were shot at arrows at the same time, screamed and fell down the Yellow River. The civilians next to them were stunned. They were stunned for a moment, and suddenly threw down the forage and turned around and ran away, "The enemy is coming!"

At this time, hundreds of rockets shot from the darkness and landed on the ship. Many of the forages were ignited. There was a chaos on the dock, and the civilians stumbled and ran away from the ship, scrambling to escape.

Hundreds of Hebei soldiers on the dock rushed to the dock, and dozens of warships appeared in the darkness. Countless rockets flew out of the warships, shooting densely at large ships filled with forage and grain. Nearly half of the grain ships had caught fire. More than a dozen boatmen were anxious to bring the forage out, but they were shot by ruthless arrows and fell into the water.

The dozens of warships that suddenly arrived stunned the soldiers. They didn't know where the warships came from, were they the Song army or the rebellious bandits?

At this time, three warships rushed from the slant. The soldiers on the ship shot arrows in large numbers, all of which were divine arm crossbows. They shot down dozens of Hebei soldiers. The rest of the soldiers let out a sound and fled in all directions.

At this time, five hundred naval soldiers began to quickly get ashore. They lined up toward the warehouse with shields and short spears. As torches were thrown into the warehouse, fifteen large warehouses were quickly ignited, especially the warehouse full of forage, which was even more fired, and soon swallowed up the entire warehouse.

On the top of Daming City, Yan Qing looked into the distance and could see a little fire in the distance. It seemed that the fire in the whole sky was reflected red. It should be that the Ruan brothers succeeded.

At this time, Zhao Wu quickly walked up to report: "The prisoners of war have been counted, with a total of 16,000 people."

"How many people are willing to join the Song army?"

"About 8,000 people, everyone else wants to go back to their hometown."

Yan Qing felt a little regretful. He thought that at least more than 10,000 people would have to join the Song army in the end, accounting for half of the prisoners of war. However, in terms of number, the eight thousand people were quite satisfied. Recruiting some civilians from the city can basically resist the enemy's first wave of counterattack. Yan Qing estimated that the first wave of counterattack should be dominated by the Hebei army and will arrive soon.

He nodded and said, "Release all the other prisoners of war and tell them that as long as they no longer help the evil and work hard at home, they will not be held responsible for their followers in the future. But if they are caught by the Song army again, they will definitely kill them. Let's explain the words to them clearly, and then each person will give them a dou of rice and let them go home."

"Abide by the orders!"

Zhao Wu left in a hurry, Yan Qing pondered for a moment, and turned around and went downstairs.
Chapter completed!
