From eunuch to emperor

Chapter 73 Attacking Fishing City

When the South Gate was fighting fiercely, the North Gate was also attacked by the Nanliang Navy, but the attack was not violent. There were only a dozen ships and less than 1 people were attacking the city and shooting arrows.

Guarding the north gate is a female lieutenant general, wearing a red cloak, a helmet, a pair of almond eyes, and a very tall figure.

This is Li Xiannan's lieutenant, Shui Han.

The north gate is facing the river, and there are catapults and kerosene bombs on the city tower. As soon as the Nanliang Navy approached, the kerosene bombs burned down the sails, and they became targets across the river.

"General Shui, we have won a big victory this time!"

A school lieutenant laughed while pointing at the ships lying across the river.

The stones of the catapult flew up one by one and fell on the water, making huge splashes one by one. When the building boat was hit, it made a loud noise, and the wood was smashed into pieces and fell into the river.

"We are playing pot throwing."

Another lieutenant laughed.

The soldiers on the ship jumped into the water to escape, and the soldiers on the tower fired arrows, killing many of them.

Shui Han didn't show joy, she felt very strange, why the North Gate's offensive was so weak when the South Gate was killed so brutally.

It even said that it felt like an act, not a real offense at all.

"Strange!"

Shuihan couldn't figure out why.

On the other side, Fishing City.

A female general in armor and a long knife hanging from her waist stood at the head of the city, looking at the thick black smoke on the south bank, with a look of unwillingness on her face.

"Hey, the comrades are fighting on the other side, but we are here to watch the fun, what kind of soldiers are you!"

The female general cursed.

This female general is just a school lieutenant named Tang Yan.

There are only more than 300 soldiers and horses staying in Diaoyu City.

"Yeah, this battle is really infuriating!"

The soldiers behind complained that such a big battle had not been caught up.

When this battle is over, they will definitely be laughed at.

"These businessmen are really, the opponents fought so fiercely, they acted like nothing happened."

"Yes, a businessman is a businessman. He doesn't care about the war between countries at all, and only cares about making money for himself."

"What's so strange about this? Isn't the world like this? They do business in all countries in the world, and they never care what emperor is like."

"I heard that the world will fan the flames everywhere, which is not a good thing."

"However, there are also people who say that the world will eradicate the strong and help the weak, specifically helping the weak to deal with the strong."

The soldiers around you talk to me, and they are really watching the fire from the other side.

Lieutenant Tang Yan was a little annoyed, she couldn't go to the other side to fight, she was so annoyed.

She originally wanted to close the city gates and wait for the end of the battle in Linjiang City, but Li Xiannan said that Diaoyu City would not be in danger across a big river, and they would continue to do business without affecting the lives of the people.

Therefore, despite the battle across the shore today, Diaoyu City is still bustling with business travelers.

"It's very lively today. Are you rushing to fight the war and sell things at high prices?"

A female soldier was lying on the city wall, looking down.

Tang Yan also found it strange that there were so many merchants entering the city today, and they looked like they were from Nanliang...

Tang Yan suddenly felt a warning sign, and shouted: "Follow me!"

The soldier watching the fire from the other side was taken aback and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tang Yan didn't say a word, but held the long knife at her waist with one hand, and immediately rushed down the city wall. When she reached the east gate, the guarding soldiers didn't know where to go.

"What about people!"

Tang Yan was furious, and the soldiers who were resting nearby ran out in a hurry.

"Let you check the business travelers entering the city, how dare you leave your post without permission!"

Tang Yan cursed loudly, and at the same time stopped a group of merchants entering the city for questioning and inspection.

The soldier guarding the gate murmured: "What's the matter with getting angry, isn't it just a school lieutenant."

Tang Yan was furious, but there was nothing she could do. In the army, rank was the most important thing. Although Li Xiannan asked her to temporarily lead the defense of the city, her rank was only a school lieutenant, and she couldn't command these foolish soldiers.

"When General Li comes back, I will sue you severely!"

No way, Tang Yan could only move out Li Xiannan to suppress them.

When they heard that they were about to sue, several people got up their spirits and said with a smile: "Tang Xiaowei is serious, we are just tired and just go to the bathroom."

"You guys! What are you doing! What's in the car!"

A group of merchants pulled more than a dozen carriages, and the carts were covered with black cloth to cover them tightly. The leader was an old man riding a donkey, with a gray beard and hair, but he seemed to be in good spirits.

Behind him are dozens of guys in coarse clothes, all of them are tall and strong, and some even have scars on their faces.

The convoy stopped, and the man silently looked at the old man in the lead, waiting for him to speak.

The old man smiled and said: "General, we belong to the Nanliang branch of the Tianxiahui, and we sell some things to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. I am the person in charge of this escort."

As he said that, the old man slid down from the donkey's back, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, stuffed it into Tang Yan's hand, and said with a kind smile: "It's convenient, General, we often take this route."

The soldiers from the city followed and blocked the caravan at the door.

Tang Yan stuffed the money back and said: "My guest, we don't accept money. Please open the carriage. As long as there is no problem, we will not make things difficult for you."

Tang Yan waved her hand, motioning for the soldiers to check together.

The soldier picked up the thing and stepped forward to lift off the black cloth, which contained armor and swords.

"Enemy attack!"

When Tang Yan saw the swords and armor, she immediately knew that these people were the Nanliang army.

Pulling out the long knife at her waist, Tang Yan slashed at the old man.

To capture the thief and capture the king, first kill the old man.

The long knife was out of its sheath, but the old man chuckled, pinched Tang Yan's wrist with one hand, and pinched Tang Yan's throat with the other, and said loudly: "Murong Xiao is here! Surrender to avoid death!"

This person is Murong Xiao.

The soldiers behind them picked up their swords one after another, and chopped down the soldiers at the gate of the city with a few strokes.

Tang Yan was lifted up like a chicken, unable to resist at all, she could only stare blankly.

"Diaoyu City changed hands today, you are a good girl, surrender!"

Murong Xiao looked at Tang Yan with admiration.

Just now Tang Yan didn't take money, she is very responsible, such a person can be cultivated.

Tang Yan's neck was pinched, and she couldn't speak, her hands were also pinched, and she couldn't move, but a trace of saliva spewed out from her mouth, and landed on Murong Xiao's face.

"court death!"

Murong Xiao was furious and crushed Tang Yan's neck with one hand.

The corpse was thrown on the ground, and Murong Xiao shouted: "The army enters the city, occupying the four gates of the city, and planting the Nanliang flag!"

The soldiers put on Nanliang armor one after another, and went up to the city wall with their swords.

The people in the city were stunned, why did the Nanliang army suddenly come, and the city was in chaos.

There were too few soldiers guarding the city, and they were killed as soon as they met each other. The banner of the Nanliang army was erected on the top of the city.

On the other side, at the north gate of Linjiang City, Lieutenant General Shui Han saw that the flag of Diaoyu City had changed, and his expression suddenly changed.

"They attacked Diaoyu City!"

She finally understood that the North Gate's attack was just a cover to prevent them from noticing the North Shore's actions.

The real goal of Nanliang is Diaoyu City!

Shui Han stepped on her horse and ran towards the south gate on the top of the city. She wanted to report to Li Xiannan immediately.
