Chapter 293: Smart Bei Ming
While Jiang Chen was sleeping soundly, the gate of Xianghong County was quietly opened.
Under the cover of night, a team of thousands of soldiers slowly drove out of the city gate.
As soon as the troops left the city gate, they split into two parts.
Then, under the leadership of their respective generals, they marched quickly towards the direction of Jiang Chen's troops.
After a while, after the two teams of soldiers left one after another.
Just where they separated, a group of figures hiding in the darkness appeared.
This group of people were none other than the members of the "Ant Nest" who were responsible for gathering information in Xianghong County.
Looking at the direction where the two teams of soldiers left, the leader spoke lightly to the people behind him.
"Divide into two teams and chase!"
"We must ensure that all their traces are in our hands."
"yes."
As the leader finished speaking, the "Ant Hole" members split into two parts.
Then he quickly followed the direction where the two teams of soldiers left!
The next morning, Jiang Chen had just opened his eyes and changed his clothes.
While enjoying the breakfast brought by Su Qingcheng, Han Zhong walked in hurriedly.
After Han Zhong walked into the hall of the government office, he didn't say a word.
He bowed to Jiang Chen and said.
"My lord, Wang Guoan and his men have already taken action."
"Just last night, they sent out a total of 5,000 troops."
Jiang Chen was not surprised after hearing what Han Zhong said.
After scooping up another spoonful of porridge and putting it into his mouth, Jiang Chen said this.
"Have you found out the whereabouts of those five thousand people?"
"My lord, as soon as they left the city last night, the 'Ant Nest' had already targeted them."
Han Zhong did not dare to hide anything and told the news that the "Ant Nest" had been sent back truthfully.
"At present, the two troops have already reached the vicinity of Wanshui County."
"It seems that our fake granary has successfully fooled them."
As Han Zhong spoke, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he couldn't help but praise Jiang Chen.
"My lord, you are so wise. Their target is our food!"
Jiang Chen responded nonchalantly to Han Zhong's compliment.
"Alright, alright, stop flattering me."
"Since the other party has successfully fallen into our trap, let's take advantage of them!"
"We must make sure they think we have successfully destroyed our granary."
"I understand. Please rest assured, my lord. I have already made arrangements for Wanshui County!"
Facing Jiang Chen's worried advice, Han Zhong patted his chest and said.
"Okay, you go down first. I have a lot of military matters to deal with later."
Jiang Chen said as he drank the porridge in the bowl in his hand.
"Then I will take my leave, my lord."
Seeing that his purpose had been achieved, Han Zhong didn't say anything else.
After bowing to Jiang Chen again, he turned and walked out of the government office.
Watching Han Zhong leave, Jiang Chen took the handkerchief handed to him by Su Qingcheng and wiped his mouth.
After handing the handkerchief back to Su Qingcheng, Jiang Chen suddenly had an idea and asked with a smile.
"Qingcheng, do you think my plan will succeed this time?"
After Su Qingcheng heard Jiang Chen's question, she thought about it for a while.
He nodded at Jiang Chen and replied with a smile.
"Your Excellency's plan is truly brilliant, I think."
"Even if they discovered that the granary was fake, it would probably be after we defeated them."
Jiang Chen put in a lot of effort to successfully lure Wang Guoan into the trap.
They even sacrificed several intelligence personnel from the "Ant Hole".
This successfully made Wang Guoan believe that the granary in Wanshui County was real!
After all this effort, if we still can't lure Wang Guoan into the trap.
Then Jiang Chen could just buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was night.
The Northern Ming army, which was divided into two parts, now gathered outside the city of Wanshui.
The person in charge of the night attack on Jiang Chen's granary was none other than Wang Guoan's trusted and beloved general, Liu Yongfang.
Liu Yongfang can be considered a fierce general, although he was originally just a small soldier.
After gaining the appreciation of Wang Guoan, he grew directly from a small soldier to the general he is today.
Seeing that all the 5,000 soldiers were present, Liu Yongfang nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad. It seems that the Northern Border soldiers' awareness of defense is not that good!"
"In that case, let's just charge into the city tonight."
"Just set fire to it and burned down their granary!"
Liu Yongfang said this and asked the deputy general beside him.
"How is it, have you figured out the situation in the city?"
When Liu Yongfang asked this, the deputy general nodded quickly.
Then, he took out a map of Wanshui County from his arms and said.
"Old Liu, we have already figured out the situation in the city."
"Jiang Chen is too arrogant. This is within Wanshui County."
"There are only 3,000 soldiers guarding the granary. This is a great opportunity for us to make a contribution!"
After hearing that there were only 3,000 defenders in Wanshui County.
Liu Yongfang smiled slightly and said with great joy.
"In that case, what are you waiting for!"
"Brothers, follow me, Liu Yongfang, and attack us. Let's burn the hell out of here!"
After saying that, Liu Yongfang turned around and quickly reached the edge of Wanshui County.
When the deputy general and five thousand soldiers saw this, they hurriedly followed them to the foot of the city.
After seeing that everyone was present, Liu Yongfang gave orders with gestures!
After seeing Liu Yongfang's gesture, dozens of Beiming soldiers nodded.
Then, he raised his hand and shot the hook in his hand towards the county seat of Wanshui County.
After confirming that the hook was firmly grasped, dozens of Northern Ming soldiers quickly pulled the rope and climbed to the top of the city wall.
Dozens of "Northern soldiers" who were drowsy leaning against the city wall had no time to react.
He was directly slashed in the throat by the swords .
After clearing the obstacles on the city wall, the Northern Ming soldiers sent out a secret signal towards the city.
Seeing that he had succeeded on the top of the city wall, Liu Yongfang was delighted.
He took a thousand people and rushed directly to the top of the city wall via grappling hook.
As soon as he climbed to the top of the city wall, a captain of a thousand men saluted Liu Yongfang respectfully.
"General, the defenders at the South Gate have all been cleared."
"Now the entire city gate is completely under our control!"
After listening to the report from the centurion, Liu Yongfang nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, you did a great job."
"Open the city gate immediately and let the brothers below enter the city!"
"Yes, General."
At Liu Yongfang's order, the south gate of Wanshui County was slowly opened.
The four thousand Northern Ming soldiers, who had been waiting impatiently, quickly rushed into the city.
It was not until then that the other "Northern Soldiers" in the city discovered that something was wrong.
