The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Lin Kui shuddered violently and his head drooped unconsciously.

Duan Tianyang pressed on: "It's time for you to make a decision!"

Lin Kui sighed inwardly. How could one not bow his head when living under someone's roof? He knew very well that his fate was no longer in his control.

He took a deep breath, knelt on his knees, kowtowed to Duan Tianyang and said, "I am willing to join the Hongxing Army and help you sneak into the city."

"Very good!" Duan Tianyang smiled, patted Lin Kui on the shoulder, helped him up, and said gently: "Don't worry, when our army breaks into the city, we will ensure that you and your family are safe."

"Yes, yes, I will do my best to serve you!" Lin Kui bowed.

If it were someone else, they would never dare to follow Zhou Baiyuan's men to sneak into Shengluo City, as this would be tantamount to entrusting their life and death to others.

The reason why Duan Tianyang dared to act in this way was, firstly, his confidence in his own strength, and secondly, his trust in the combat effectiveness of the Hongxing Army.

He turned to Lu Jingyuan and said, "Jingyuan, go and gather all the brothers to the central army camp."

"Yes, Brother Tian!" Lu Jingyuan responded and left.

Soon, senior generals of the Hongxing Army gathered in the central military tent, numbering dozens of people.

After everyone arrived, Duan Tianyang elaborated on his tactical plan in detail.

In fact, there is no significant difference between today's tactical layout and that planned last night.

The Hongxing Army mainly attacked the West City, while the imperial army attacked the East City with all their might. The two sides, one in the west and the other in the east, each attracted the main force of the rebels.

While the two sides were fighting fiercely, the Hongxing Army secretly sent a force of two thousand elite soldiers, riding fast horses, quietly marching towards the North City to launch a surprise attack.

Compared with the original plan, the only difference was that Duan Tianyang personally led the team to attack North City.

But now, he decided to lead more than a hundred brothers to sneak into the city and launch an attack from the inside out to cooperate with the surprise attack of the two thousand soldiers outside the city.

When Duan Tianyang finished explaining his tactics, everyone's eyes focused on Lin Kui standing nearby.

Facing the sharp eyes of the Hongxing Army generals, like wolves and tigers, Lin Kui felt a chill on his back and lowered his head involuntarily to avoid everyone's gaze.

"Brother Tian, ​​what if he betrays us immediately after entering the city?" someone expressed concern.

"Moreover, there are so many rebels in the city that it is too dangerous for Brother Tian to do this." Someone else echoed.

Facing everyone's doubts, Duan Tianyang smiled, turned his eyes gently to Lin Kui, and asked: "Xiao Kui, will you betray us after you enter the city?"

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue. Lin Kui broke out in a cold sweat, his legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

He hurriedly defended himself, "I would never dare to do that! I would never dare to do that..." There was a hint of trembling and fear in his voice.

Duan Tianyang quickly glanced at everyone present and said meaningfully: "Even if the main force of the rebels is dispersed to the West City and the East City, it will not be easy to sneak attack the North City. If we can't quickly break the city and fall into a stalemate, the rebels in the city will immediately rush to help. At that time, the plan to sneak attack the North City will be a complete failure. To ensure everything is safe, the safest strategy is for me to lead some brothers to sneak into the city as an insider. Although this move is risky, it is worth a try. Every day the war is delayed, the brothers will suffer more casualties. Now there is a chance to win a quick battle, there is no reason for me not to do it!"

After hearing this, everyone felt touched and worried.

Before anyone could persuade him, Duan Tianyang made a firm statement: "This matter has been decided. No need to say more. The entire army will set out immediately!"

Saint Luo City, City Lord's Mansion

After Lin Kui left, Zhou Baiyuan waited anxiously in the hall. He sometimes stood up and sometimes sat down, and his anxiety was beyond words.

More than an hour passed in a flash, but Lin Kui still hadn't returned. Zhou Baiyuan became more and more uneasy.

He stopped suddenly and ordered Xiao Si and Wang Qiang beside him: "Send someone to Lin Kui's home quickly and keep a close watch on his family. If he dares to defect to the Hongxing Army, kill all his family members and hang them on the city wall!"

"Yes, sir!" Xiao Si and Wang Qiang agreed in unison. Before they stepped out of the door, a soldier rushed in from outside and reported urgently: "Sir, the Hongxing Army and the Imperial Army have left the camp and seem to be attacking our city again!"

Sending Linkui to negotiate was fruitless, and now there is news of a violent attack. It seems that Duan Tianyang is determined to become an enemy of us...

Zhou Baiyuan gritted his teeth, stomped his feet heavily, and shouted in a low voice: "Everyone prepare for battle!" After that, he strode out the door.

Xiao Si and Wang Qiang exchanged a glance and followed closely.

Just like yesterday, Zhou Baiyuan did not go to East City, but went straight to West City.

Although the Hongxing Army had fewer troops than the Imperial Army, in his mind, the Hongxing Army was the real threat.

He climbed up the city wall and looked out into the distance. He saw that the Hongxing Army was using the same old trick again. They advanced to two or three hundred steps away from the city gate and then stopped. Afterwards, a large number of soldiers launched catapults, intending to lead with a long-range attack.

Zhou Baiyuan pretended to be relaxed and said to the generals around him with a smile: "The Hongxing Army is still using the same old tricks. It's hard to come up with new ones."

The generals forced themselves to smile, but they all knew in their hearts that the offensive of the Hongxing Army today would be even more fierce.

The Hongxing Army had just started the catapult to attack the city. At this moment, a soldier quickly jumped onto the city wall and hurriedly reported to Zhou Baiyuan: "Sir, the imperial army is fiercely attacking the East City. The situation in the East City is critical!"

Zhou Baiyuan couldn't help but gasp when he heard this. It was really unexpected that Dongcheng would be in a state of emergency.

Currently, there are only more than 20,000 rebel defenders in East City, compared to 50,000 defenders in West City.

He hesitated for a moment and called out in a deep voice: "A Liao!"

"I am here!" Zhang Liao responded and bowed.

"I order you to immediately dispatch 10,000 elite troops from the North and South Cities to rush to the East City for support!" Zhou Baiyuan gave the order decisively.

Zhang Liao looked worried and said, "Sir, the total number of troops in the North City and the South City is only 20,000. If we withdraw another 10,000, it may be too empty to defend."

"I can't care about so many things now, let's go quickly!" Zhou Baiyuan has made the decision.

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Liao did not hesitate any longer and followed the order.

With the Hongxing Army and the Imperial Army attacking at the same time, the defense situation in Shengluo City suddenly became tense.

Zhou Baiyuan had no choice but to withdraw the defenders from the North City and South City to reinforce the East City.

The fierce siege began in full swing. As everyone expected, today's attacks by both the Hongxing Army and the Imperial Army were more fierce than yesterday.

Looking around, the soldiers attacking the city surged like a tide. There were so many people that it was hard to find the end. The sounds of shouting and killing rose one after another, deafening, one wave after another.

Just as the Hongxing Army and the Imperial Army launched a fierce offensive together, a small team quietly walked out of the Hongxing Army camp. Although there were not many people, only a hundred or so, they were dressed in rebel uniforms, wearing rebel armor, and holding up rebel flags, which made them particularly eye-catching.

After leaving the Hongxing Army camp, this team of more than a hundred people headed straight for the north gate of Shengluo City with a clear goal.
