Chapter 212: The great army enters the city, a rabble
Outside Sucheng.
Ying Ying Zi Ye, Wang Li, Governor Yin Tong Tong, and several generals were discussing some matters.
"Ninth Prince, when should we launch the attack?"
"After a night of harassment, they must be exhausted and struggling to cope now."
Governor Yin Tong Tong laughed uncharitably from the side.
He had slept well last night.
But the garrison inside Sucheng had truly not slept all night.
"What is the situation inside Sucheng? Has it been scouted out?"
"As long as the city gate is opened, all troops can enter the city."
Ying Ying Zi Ye did not answer Governor Yin Tong Tong, but looked at Wang Li.
"It is very chaotic inside, the commoners have also been killed, and our people inside have made contact with the previous garrison."
"They said they would find a time to rush out together."
Wang Li recounted the news sent back by the secret agents.
"The Xiang family didn't use the previous garrison?"
Ying Ying Zi Ye was stunned; he thought the garrison on the city walls were mixed-in soldiers.
"No, they were probably afraid they would start a riot, so the Xiang family replaced them the moment they controlled the city."
"The previous garrison are all in the city, and they also want to rush out; they don't want to stay in the city."
Wang Li explained from the side; the city gate might be opened by them, who knows.
"Then wait another hour; you notify the people inside, if the gate isn't opened in an hour, we will charge in."
"By then, we can only sacrifice some people to attack and open the gate."
Ying Ying Zi Ye believed the best method was to coordinate from inside and outside, saving time and effort.
But if that couldn't be done, they could only attack by force.
This logic was also understood by military generals like Wang Li.
"That is excellent; this general will find a way to urge them."
"Now is the moment they are most sleepy and tired; they should act soon."
Wang Li got up to make arrangements.
"You all prepare as well; when the time comes, we will take Sucheng in one fell swoop!"
"Understood!"
Governor Yin Tong Tong and the others also got up and left.
Inside Sucheng.
In a very spacious alley.
At this time, hundreds of people were gathered, and many more were watching from afar.
Looking at their clothing and momentum, one could tell their identities were varied.
Among them were merchants, commoners, and even soldiers!
However, these were all the previous garrison, not the Xiang family's soldiers.
"My lord sent word that we should launch the attack in an hour."
"Half an hour has already passed since the message reached my hands."
"In another half hour, the attack will be launched from outside the city."
"If we cannot open the city gate by then."
"There might be accidental injuries; I don't know how prepared you are?"
A young man with a resolute face looked serious, his eyes cold; he looked like a soldier at first glance.
This person was called Choufu, and he was a small captain arranged by Wang Li to unite the people in the city to open the city gate.
In this way, the Great Qin soldiers outside could drive straight in!
"We've been ready for a long time; those bastards, daring to steal our positions and daring to rebel, they deserve to die!"
"Now that they have been disturbed all night, they are at their most exhausted; it's the perfect time to strike!"
A burly man with a scar on his face said viciously.
"Then let's go open the city gate!"
"Let these commoners and merchants stay here so as not to increase casualties unnecessarily."
Choufu glanced at the commoners in the distance.
"Rest assured, they are all commoners of Sucheng, and I also have the responsibility to protect them."
"Once the city gate is opened and the reinforcements from outside are welcomed in, it will be the Xiang family's day of death!"
The scarred man also looked at those commoners, seeing their frightened appearance.
He also felt some pity; after all, he had been a garrison soldier in Sucheng for quite a while.
He was also from Sucheng, so naturally, he did not want to see Sucheng fall into the flames of war.
"Xiaoliu, you go arrange those commoners; make sure they don't go out."
"Let them wait here; when the reinforcements come, we will go open the city gate first."
"I will leave two hundred men to guard their safety."
Xiaoliu nodded and said: "Brother Scar, then you and the brothers must be careful."
"Set off!"
Choufu waved his hand, and several hundred original garrison soldiers followed him and rushed towards the location of the city gate.
They had been suddenly laid off by the Xiang family, and their armor and weapons had been confiscated.
But fortunately, they knew the backup weapon warehouse and had stolen the weapons back.
Several hundred people marched straight towards the city gate.
There were very few soldiers at the city gate, only about a hundred.
Most of them were on the city walls, and many were exhausted.
When Choufu and his men arrived at the city gate, those Xiang family garrison soldiers only then reacted.
But it was too late; they couldn't even fire arrows.
They could only take out their machetes and start fighting.
But because they hadn't slept all night and hadn't eaten since early morning, they were starving and were no match for Choufu and his men. ===== CHAPTER 214 =====
