It was almost noon at the south gate of Fancheng.

There was just a fight here. The hundreds of soldiers guarding the city either died or surrendered. The Luotian Sect and the Cai clan had completely seized control of the city gate. Even the head of the military officer was cut off and hung on the flagpole on the city.

At this time, as the leader of the team that raided the South Gate, Cai Zhixiao's eyes were full of excitement. He turned his head and ordered his subordinates: "You will go back and report to your family and tell them that everything has been implemented according to our plan. When the army of Yizizhang arrived, I will go back. At that time, all our troops will be enough to take down Xiangyang City!"

"As for the order!" A Cai clan member immediately agreed loudly, led a horse and ran quickly towards the city.

Although today's raid against Fancheng was a little hasty due to previous changes, relying on the Cai family's many years of operational arrangements in this city, some of them were not in danger. The military officials of the government could not even think that any subordinates and confidants would suddenly rebel and take action. Not to mention that they were unable to resist, even if they had a certain ability to resist, even with various internal and external cooperation, the defense line would collapse at once, causing all the gates of Fancheng to fall into the hands of the Luotian Sect one after another.

Upon climbing the city and looking at the troops moving around, Cai Zhixiao showed his complacency and longing.

As a prominent native family in Xiangfan, the Cai family only focuses on business but not on the imperial examination, which has led to the decline of its power in the local area. Now, even the later Fan family has suppressed them, making them unable to retreat to Fancheng and lose face.

But after this time, the situation will be completely reversed. Joining with the Luotian Sect will surely allow one to regain control of the entire Xiangfan, destroy the Fan family, and rebuild the Cai family. Now all this is just waiting for his cousin Chen Da, who is in the Yi camp outside the city, to lead his troops to arrive, which means that everything has been completely settled.

You should know that compared with the Liei camp, which also belongs to the Xiangfan garrison, the Yi camp not only has more troops and tens of thousands, but also because of the continuous cultivation of the Cai family behind them, their equipment and combat power is also the strongest among the official troops of Xiangfan and even the entire Huguang. As soon as this elite soldier enters the city, it means that their control over the entire Fan city will be guaranteed the most.

This is also the confidence of the Cai family to dare to join forces with the Luotian Sect. In the eyes of many people in the Cai family, their strength is higher than that of the Luotian Sect, and they even have the ability to in turn annex the power of the Luotian Sect in one bite.

Cai Zhixiao, who was full of anticipation, looked out of the city again, and muttered unconsciously: "By the time, they should have arrived, why are there no trace yet..." Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he saw smoke and dust rising up at the end of the road ahead. It was a unique scene when the group of people advanced, "Here is here!"

Sure enough, after a moment, the bright flag of Yiziying also flew into the eyes of everyone on the city wall, making all the tense people happy. Cai Zhixiao waved immediately: "Prepare to open the city to pick them up."

"Fifth Master, isn't this a bit hasty? Why not wait until the army leans forward and sees it clearly before opening the city gate?" A subordinate next to him suggested cautiously.

"Why, are you still worried that the troops from Xiangyang will be here? How can they have such skills? Even if they want to regain Fancheng, they should use their brains on the floating bridge. And you didn't see that, the flags of the Yi-Cai Camp were raised." Cai Zhixiao waved his hand disapprovingly. The victory of easily winning the South Gate just now made him no longer take the local government in Xiangfan seriously. In his eyes, the official army like the Lie-Cai and Ding-Cai Camp are all like a native chicken and a dog.

Seeing that his expression was a little impatient, his subordinates did not dare to say much, so they immediately went down to pass the message. When the troops slowly arrived in front of the city gate, the huge and heavy city gate also made a bang and landed steadily on the other end of the moat, becoming a suspension bridge that they could step past.

At this time, Cai Zhixiao was still looking at the team from a high place above the city wall. After carefully looking, his brow frowned: "Where is Chen Da? Also, why are you not here and there, and what about the others?"

At present, the army looks neat and under the banner of Yi Jian, but the number of people is too small, and no matter how you look at it, it is only two or three thousand. And the more important thing is that the leader in front of the team is a man with a strange face, not the cousin Chen Da, whom Cai Zhixiao is looking forward to.

The officer hurriedly left the team and took two steps forward, then shouted at the top of the city: "But is the young master of the Cai family? The last general Zhang Jing came first to help defend the city on the order of General Chen. The other brothers of Yi camp, General Chen, led him to arrive later."

"Why didn't he come first?" Cai Zhixiao frowned with some dissatisfaction. Chen Da was able to rely on his Cai's vigorous cultivation today. He did not obey orders at such a critical moment?

"Young Master doesn't know anything. Just now, the troops from Dingzi Camp suddenly arrived in front of our camp. General Chen was leading people to negotiate with him. Because he was worried that there would be changes in the city, General Chen ordered the last general to lead people to take the lead!"

This explanation is quite satisfactory. Cai Zhixiao didn't care more and waved his hand: "Then let's go to the city to speak first. You guys can help me guard the South Gate and then divide some of them to the West Gate. We have too many things to arrange."

"The last general understands, enter the city!" Zhang Jing's eyes flashed, but he turned steadily, waved his hand to the soldiers behind him to order, and he rode his horse slowly stepped onto the suspension bridge and headed towards the city at a constant speed.

After a while, the team had passed through the outer wall and entered the urncheng. In front of them was the still open urncheng gate. There were many corpses lying on both sides of the gate, and blood splattered the walls and the gates in a mess.

Seeing this, many soldiers had anger and murderous intent in their eyes. Even though they had known this was the result, when they saw this scene up close, the soldiers still felt a strong impact in their hearts and wanted to pounce over immediately and kill all these enemies.

Yes, this team under the banner of Xiangfan Yi Camp is the personal guards under Li Ling and the elite troops of Xiangyang garrison. They are here to open the city gate and regain control of Fancheng!

In fact, Cai Zhixiao's idea just now was not wrong. If Xiangyang had changed in Fancheng, took several important city gates in succession, and broke the floating bridges connecting the two cities before he realized that something had happened. If he thought about countermeasures, Xiangyang would not have time to make any effective response at this time.

However, this is not the case.

Because long before the sudden change in Fancheng, Li Ling had already inferred through various changes in Xiangyang City that Fancheng was the real focus of Luotian Sect's rebellion this time, and even came up with the bold idea that Fancheng Cai's family had also merged with Luotian Sect.

So in fact, Xiangyang's reaction was much faster than the Cai family thought, and it was more targeted.

For example, after learning that the Cai family was likely to play an important role in this incident, Chen Da, the commander of the Yi camp who was closely related to them, naturally became the target of focus. At the same time, this army, which is likely to be regarded as the greatest reliance by Fancheng, became the key to Li Ling's use to break the deadlock.

Since he was an officer and soldier, the banner clothing of the Yizi Camp can naturally be found in the Xiangyang warehouse. If you only need to change the dress, the elite imperial guards under Li Ling and the soldiers of Xiangyang can immediately transform into the Yizi Camp, and then use this identity to open the city gate and enter Fancheng.

As long as you can control a city gate, the next thing will be very simple. After all, there are two battalions of Liezi Camp and Dingzi Camp available in Xiangfan, which is enough to quell the Fancheng Rebellion after offsetting the combat power of Yizi Camp. Now, Zhang Jing led his troops into the south gate of Fancheng, which is the most critical step!

Soon, Zhang Jing had rode his horse through the gate of Wengcheng. Cai Zhixiao was walking down there with a proud smile on his face, as if he was waiting for him to dismount and greet him.

But immediately, he saw the shocking hatred and murderous intent in the eyes of many soldiers entering the city. Before he could react, Zhang Jing shouted loudly: "Thief, come and take your life!" With the shout, his hand was lifted decisively, and a bow and an arrow had been held in his hand as he moved.

Bending the bow, placing an arrow, aiming, slicking the string... A series of movements were made quickly in Zhang Jing's movements like flowing water, and then an arrow went like a meteor, snatching Cai Zhixiao's face.

Cai Zhixiao also has a pretty good martial arts, otherwise he would not have led the army to capture the South Gate. So even though he was suddenly attacked, the moment the sharp arrow came, he immediately dodged and turned around, and the arrow almost passed by, which scared him to his face.

It was not until this time that the other men came back from their shock and shouted: "I've been trapped, it's the official army! Kill!" Then they hurriedly raised their weapons and rushed straight to the city gate, trying to stop more official troops from entering the city.

But it was already a little late at this time. After the arrow fell, Zhang Jing had already dropped the hollow bow in his hand, raised his knife in his hand, and urged the horse to rush forward. With the rush of the horse, the knife went like lightning. In a few swishes, he cut the reins of several rebels in front of him into two pieces, then activate the reins of the horse, controlled the horse and jumped high, and rushed straight to Cai Zhixiao, who had just calmed down in front and wanted to retreat.

This guy is the head of the rebels here. As long as he kills him, his troops will naturally be in chaos and will be defeated without attacking him!

Seeing that the quick sword attacked, Cai Zhixiao knew that he could not escape and could not avoid it. He suddenly looked resolute in his eyes. He roared again and snatched a spear. Instead of retreating, he advanced the spear and stabbed the person from bottom to top. This spear means killing the horse first and then killing people.

He was brave enough and had good martial arts skills, but he was facing a more powerful imperial guard general.

Although Zhang Jing was not showing any sign of dew by Li Ling's side, he let go of his hands and feet at this time, and his tactics were amazing. In the moment of the spear, the horse rushed forward, and when the horse rushed, he grabbed the horse's belly with his legs and stopped quickly without the reins. Then Heryllic sounded and jumped up high, causing the opponent's life-threatening spear to stab the enemy in the air.

At this time, the other people had already soared into the air. As they landed again, they slashed violently with their hands, hitting Cai Zhixiao's neck.

With a puff, blood splattered, and Cai Zhixiao's resolute expression instantly turned into horror, and finally frozen!
