The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

On the second day when Huang Zhong and others were traveling on the waterway, a heavy rain suddenly fell from the sky, causing the water volume upstream to surge and began to pour wildly towards the downstream estuary.

Several troop transport ships were directly overturned by the growing flood. Huang Zhong and the others had no choice but to give up advancing by water and instead walked ashore.

And God seemed to be against them. Less than half a day after they went ashore, the heavy rain stopped and the water flow in the river began to gradually subside. However, at this time, Huang Zhong and the others were already some distance away from where the troop transport ship was docked. Huang Zhong didn't want to waste time to go back and take the boat, so he decided to move on.

In order to guard against all kinds of poisonous insects and snakes in the woods on the shore, Huang Zhong and the others tied their cuffs and trouser legs tightly with ropes to prevent those poisonous insects from sneaking in.

However, doing so would make the clothes on the body not breathable and make it very hot and stuffy. However, the dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed completely, allowing the dazzling sunlight to shine down, baking the woods to a stuffy and hot state, making everyone feel like they were at home. Steamers are generally uncomfortable.

Fortunately, after another day’s journey, we were not far from Thang Long City, the capital of Vietnam.

As they got closer to Thang Long City, Huang Zhong and the others also encountered some villages and towns while marching along the river bank. There were very few defenders in these villages and towns, so Huang Zhong and the others easily captured them. , not even one of the people inside could escape.

Then Huang Zhong and others asked some Japanese soldiers to put on the clothes of Vietnamese people, disguise themselves as Vietnamese civilians, and sneak into Thang Long City quietly.

As for why the soldiers of the Qinglong Empire are not allowed to disguise themselves, this is because the regular soldiers of the Qinglong Empire usually eat too well, and each of them is too strong. In addition, because of their martial arts training, their energy and spirit are also Far from being comparable to the poor living civilians in Vietnam, even if you put on the clothes of local civilians, you can't pretend to be like them. Second, this mission is still somewhat dangerous. You cannot wear armor, and you can only bring some short-term weapons. If you are discovered by the enemy during the mission, you will easily be surrounded and killed.

So in the end Huang Zhong still asked those Japanese soldiers to perform this task. The Japanese soldiers were very happy after receiving this mission. They felt that this was a great opportunity for them to make meritorious deeds, so they signed up very enthusiastically. However, Huang Zhong only needed a total of 200 people. Otherwise, if there were too many people, it would be easy to be defeated. The Vietnamese defenders sensed something was wrong.

In the end, after internal competition and elimination among these Japanese soldiers, the Japanese warrior with the best 200-meter martial arts won the quota to participate in the mission.

Not to mention, because these Japanese warriors did not live a very good life in the past, and they could not even eat white rice, so their bodies did not look very strong. In addition, Japanese people were generally shorter in height. Once they were dressed as local civilians, they all looked similar. The only flaw might be that these Japanese people liked to bow to others.

So before setting off, Huang Zhong conducted an emergency special training for these Japanese warriors, asking them to greet and talk to people during simulated missions. If anyone accidentally bowed, they would be slapped with a stick immediately. Speaking of which, Ye Tianlong taught them this trick! In Ye Tianlong's words, those Japanese people just do this, and the spirit infusion stick should not be very effective on them.

After doing this several times, these Japanese warriors quickly got rid of their bad habit of bowing to others.

Huang Zhong nodded with satisfaction and let these guys officially set off.

At this time, Vietnam was constantly being attacked by the armies led by Wang Qing and Tian Hu, resulting in many refugees fleeing famine. As the capital of Vietnam, Thang Long City was very prosperous, so there were also many refugees fleeing here. The group of Japanese soldiers were divided into several groups and blended in smoothly, without arousing any suspicion from the local defenders.

After entering the city, this group of Japanese soldiers first quietly observed the size and shift patterns of the garrison at the four gates of Shenglong City.

Probably because most of the soldiers and horses were mobilized to the front line to resist the attack of Tian Hu and Wang Qing's army, there were not many defenders in Shenglong City, and there were only more than a hundred defenders at each city gate. look.

After discovering this, these Japanese soldiers couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then quickly started taking action separately.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Japanese soldiers divided into four groups launched a surprise attack on the defenders at the city gate almost simultaneously.

First, several grenades were thrown into the middle of the defenders. After several explosions, more than a dozen defenders were killed directly, and twenty or thirty people were injured.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers quickly took out their flintlock pistols and fired at the defenders who were still standing.

After a round of shooting by fifty Japanese soldiers, there were not many defenders still standing, and all of them were frightened by the sudden attack.

Under the horrified eyes of the surviving defenders, the Japanese soldiers took out daggers and daggers from their arms one by one, and quickly approached them. Then each of the surviving defenders was almost stabbed seven or eight times. The knife soon fell into a pool of blood.

Afterwards, these Japanese soldiers applied blows to the defenders who had fallen to the ground one by one to prevent some of these guys from pretending to be dead.

After replenishing everyone's swords, only about five minutes had passed. After the Japanese soldiers opened the city gate, they fired a signal bomb into the sky to notify the army to come.

After Huang Zhong saw the signal flare, he immediately led more than 8,000 cavalry under his command to rush out immediately. It only took less than ten minutes to rush to the city gate.

At this time, other defenders in Shenglong City finally reacted, and some defenders began to come to try to recapture the city gate. However, those Japanese soldiers fought bravely in order to meritorious service, and they actually relied on fifty They withstood the counterattack of at least hundreds of enemy troops at each city gate, during which they also killed at least hundreds of Vietnamese soldiers.

When they saw the enemy cavalry arriving, the morale of the Vietnamese soldiers who had been unable to regain control of the city gate completely collapsed, and they began to flee into the city one by one.

Huang Zhong and the others were not polite, and immediately accelerated their horses to catch up, taking the opportunity to kill the fleeing Vietnamese soldiers to prevent these guys from regrouping to counterattack later.

In this way, Huang Zhong and the others came to the Vietnamese royal palace, killing all the way. At this time, the Vietnamese Emperor Li Qiande had just received the news that enemy troops were making trouble in the city, and he did not know that the enemy troops were almost at his door.

Therefore, Li Qiande completely missed the opportunity to escape, and Huang Zhong and the others were quickly surrounded in the palace.

This is actually one of the reasons why Huang Zhong wanted the Japanese soldiers to sneak into the city and carry out a surprise attack. After all, if he led a large army to attack the city, these Vietnamese would definitely find out if they were not blind. What should I do if the Vietnamese emperor sees that the situation is bad and runs away?

But this is very good now. Shenglong City was captured at lightning speed with a surprise attack, and the opponent had no chance to react or escape.

When Li Qiande discovered that his palace had been surrounded by thousands of armored cavalry, he was really dumbfounded. Then faced with the enemy forces outside trying to persuade him to surrender, Li Qiande didn't want to surrender so quickly. He put on his armor and personally He led more than a thousand palace guards in the palace to charge towards the enemy's heavy cavalry, hoping to repel these heavy cavalry and break out of the encirclement.
