Chapter 1470: Reaping the Profits of a Fisherman

"The spy who sneaked into Shuangli City yesterday came back and said that Shuangli City had posted an imperial edict, and the Chilin Emperor had already forced conscription across the country. All men who were adults and had healthy hands and feet must serve in the army. Anyone who refused would be killed without mercy."

Shuangli City was another city in the Chilin Kingdom, and An Jing knew this.

But after hearing the latter part, An Jing frowned and strongly disagreed with the Chilin Emperor's approach: "This will arouse public anger."

Xiao Changyi said: "This is good, they rebel in their nest, and we will reap the benefits."

An Jing immediately laughed: "That's right."

More than half a month later, on March 20, Qian Taiwen finally led his army to attack the city.

Qian Taiwen was appointed by the Chilin Emperor as the general of the city capture, leading an army of 800,000 to recapture Jingye City.

Among these 800,000, there were 150,000 people who fled from Jingye City at that time.

Qian Taiwen had already asked the generals who were guarding the west gate of Jingye City at that time, and asked Xiao Changyi how they attacked Jingye City.

When Qian Taiwen heard that Xiao Changyi had sent people through the mountains and rivers to enter Jingye City, Qian Taiwen immediately decided to send people through the mountains and rivers to attack Jingye City.

Unlike Xiao Changyi who only sent more than 2,000 people to attract troops, Qian Taiwen planned to send 300,000 troops.

That was the weak area of ​​Jingye City. Even if the guards were strict, Qian Taiwen thought it was better to attack Jingye City than other places.

They couldn't bypass the South Gate and West Gate of Jingye City, so they couldn't attack. The rest, except for attacking through the mountains and rivers in the east, only the North Gate could be attacked.

Qian Taiwen planned to lead the other 500,000 troops himself to attack the North Gate of Jingye City.

Before Qian Taiwen attacked, Xiao Changyi had divided the 400,000 troops in Jingye City into four parts, 10,000 at the South Gate, 10,000 at the West Gate, 200,000 at the East, and 180,000 at the North Gate.

The reason why there were 200,000 soldiers in the east was because Xiao Changyi believed that the weakest area of ​​Jingye City was the mountain in the east.

Although he thought that the possibility of the South Gate and the West Gate being attacked was almost zero, Xiao Changyi still placed catapults and stones on the towers of the South Gate and the West Gate just in case.

There were also many catapults on the east side.

The North Gate had the most catapults. There was a catapult almost every step on the North Gate. If it was not convenient for the soldiers to put stones on the catapults, Xiao Changyi probably would not leave gaps between the catapults.

In addition to catapults, archers were also deployed in the east, south, west and north, with the most deployed in the east and north gates.

There were 400,000 soldiers in Jingye City, 100,000 of whom surrendered. In fact, Xiao Changyi was not completely confident in these people. This battle was also a test of the sincerity of the 100,000 soldiers to surrender.

And Xiao Changyi also secretly ordered that if any of the 100,000 soldiers turned against him, he would be killed without mercy.

On this day, Qian Taiwen led an army of 500,000 to the north gate of Jingye City. As soon as he arrived, he saw a general he knew standing on the city wall. He immediately got angry and cursed: "Ge Xiangchong, you are a general of Chilin, but you also surrendered?! You are unworthy of being a Chilin! I wonder how you will face your ancestors after you die!"

Ge Xiangchong said: "Emperor Chilin doesn't treat me as a human being, why can't I surrender? Here, I can be a human being, and my ancestors will not want me to live worse than a dog."

As the commander-in-chief, Xiao Changyi was naturally on the city wall, but he just watched all this quietly and did not stop Ge Xiangchong from speaking. Of course, he also knew clearly that Ge Xiangchong's skills were also good, and Meng Zhuqing was not his opponent.

If he surrendered sincerely and was used by Xiyun, it would be a good thing.
