As Liu Ru spoke, she stood up and bowed to Yang Jing.
"The reason why I told Lord Yang about this matter is because I have heard many rumors about you.”
"I heard that your goal is not just to take down Great Ming. You want to slaughter all the wild boar skins in the world and return peace to the people of the Central Plains.”
"I'm a Han, and I can't just watch the Han land fall into the hands of the Outsiders.”
"Lord Yang, you have a talent comparable to Zhenguan. In just two months, you managed the Hui Prefecture in an orderly manner.”
"Although I don't know how many troops you have, I believe that you will not cooperate with Qian Qianyi and the other Donglin Party members to conspire with the Manchu Wild Boar Skin to divide the territory of the Han people!”
Yang Jing looked at Liu Ru and nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, Miss Liu. Within half a month, I will definitely take down the Ningguo Manor and make Qian Qianyi give you an explanation!”
Even so, Yang Jing had to admit that Liu Rushi was indeed a wonderful person who had a great sense of the big picture. It was no wonder that so many scholars and poets had fallen for her.
Speaking of which, he was a little impressed by Qian Qianyi.
It was fine if he didn't live a good life with such a beautiful woman, but he actually sent her to a brothel.
What a ruthless person!
Regardless of whether Qian Qianyi and Liu Ru were husband and wife, in the eyes of the outside world, these two were a loving couple.
This was the first time he had seen someone fight to be cuckolded.
However, these were not very important. The most important thing now was to quickly organize the army and send out troops.
However, Yang Jing didn't care if Li Zicheng's 200,000 reinforcements would really arrive as scheduled.
If they didn't come, then it was fine. But if they did, then Yang Jing would definitely give them a big surprise.
If they could lose Li Zicheng's 200,000 troops now, they could save a lot of effort when they attacked the north in the future. Why not?
Two days later, Yang Jing sent Huo Qubing to lead the 350,000 Jing Family Army to Ningguo Manor.
He and the remaining 50,000 soldiers would stay in the Hui Prefecture to guard against the enemy's sneak attacks and to provide logistical support.
According to Liu Ru, Qian Qianyi and the others had already gathered 300,000 troops in the Ningguo Prefecture. As long as Li Zicheng's 200,000 troops arrived, they would send troops to recover the lost land.
Outside the city tower of Nanling County, Ningguo Prefecture.
Night fell.
A group of Jing Family soldiers hid under the night sky, carefully observing the movements of the Ming army guarding the city.
The Ningguo Prefecture of Southern Zhili had jurisdiction over Xuancheng County, Ningguo County, Jingxian, Taiping County, Jingde County, and Nanling County.
Among them, Xuancheng County is the first county.
Nanling County was located at the junction of Ningguo Prefecture and Hui Prefecture, adjacent to Jixi County.
Huo Qubing's plan this time was to attack Nanling County at night and take down the relatively weaker Nanling County as quickly as possible, then push all the way north.
This night attack was to catch the Ming army off guard!
Huo Qubing rode a tall black horse and stood on a distant mountain peak. He put down the gold-framed binoculars that Yang Jing had given him and looked in the direction of Nanling County's city gate with a confident smile on his face.
"Pass down the order, attack the city!"
Under Huo Qubing's command, a group of Jing Family soldiers hidden in the dark at the forefront marched towards the city gate in an orderly manner.
In this battle, Yang Jing did not send out the powerful artillery team or the handgun team because the Ming army they were fighting was their own.
The Ming soldiers were just on a different side from him, so he would surrender if he could. There was no need to kill them.
The figures of the Jing Family's army perfectly blended into the night. A few of them took advantage of the Ming soldiers patrolling at the city gate when they were unprepared to attack and silently broke their necks.
At the same time, the archers hiding not far away were already prepared.
The Thousand Households standing beside the archers saw that the Ming army patrolling the city gate had been cleared and felt that the time had come. He waved his arm in the direction of the archers.
The archers nodded in unison and shot their arrows.
"Swish!"
A series of dense sounds of wind breaking rang out one after another. The Ming soldiers on the city gate tower fell one after another. Some even directly flipped down the city gate tower.
A Ming soldier on the city gate tower watched helplessly as his companions were shot and fell off the city gate tower. He finally realized what was happening.
The Ming soldier widened his eyes and hurriedly took a few steps back. Then, he quickly turned around and ran in the direction of the military drum.
He shouted as he ran,"Not good! There's a night attack!"”
As soon as the Ming soldier finished speaking, the entire city gate tower instantly became restless. Many Ming soldiers guarding the city gate rushed out from the small houses on the city gate tower. Who knew that the moment they appeared, they would be hit by arrows that fell from the sky. The Ming soldiers covered their wounds and screamed as they fell.
Looking at the long arrows falling like rain, the Ming soldier who had already rushed to the side of the drum picked up the mallet and hit the drum hard.
"Bang bang bang-bang!"
He beat the drum and shouted," Not good! Someone is attacking at night!"
The resounding drumbeats continued to ring out, and the entire Nanling County was in an uproar.
The city tower of Nanling County, which was originally only lit by candlelight, suddenly lit up. The Ming army stationed in Nanling County heard the drums and all of them came out.
Huo Qubing, who was holding a pair of gold-framed binoculars on a distant hill, saw the bright candlelight on the Nanling County city gate tower and waved his hand.
"The auspicious time has arrived. Attack the city with all your might!"
With a command, the Jing Family Army, which had been deployed long ago, charged toward the city gate with their sabers.
The thousand households on the Nanling County city gate tower saw the densely packed Jing Family Army rushing toward them from afar and immediately panicked.
He casually grabbed a guard and said with a hurried expression,"Quick, quickly send a message to Lord Qian. The Hui Prefecture rebels have come to attack the city.”
"Yes, sir!"
The moment the scout left, the thousand-man hurriedly shouted.
"Hurry up! Shieldbearers, quick! Cover the archers as they climb the city walls!"
"Hurry up! Archers, go to the city tower!"
"Hurry up! Prepare the rolling stones!"
"Scouts! Quickly gather all the soldiers in the city and order them to rush to the city gate to provide support!”
At this moment, the thousands of soldiers at Nanling County's city gate were in a mess, while the Jing Family's army that Huo Qubing had deployed earlier were attacking the city in an orderly manner under the command of the thousand households.
"Shieldbearers, cover the front. Archers, get ready!”
"Set up the ladder and go up the city tower!"
"Prepare the wooden stakes and push open the city gate!"
The thousand households gave a few orders, and the ten thousand Jing family soldiers instantly split into several groups and ran toward the city tower.
It was just a small county. It was already very impressive for them to be able to mobilize 10,000 elite soldiers.
The Jing Family's army pushed forward step by step under the cover of the shield soldiers, while the Ming army's archers, who had been hurriedly deployed above the city gate tower, kept shooting arrows.
For a moment, hundreds of arrows rained down from the sky. These sharp arrows pierced straight at the Jing Family Army who were bravely advancing.
