Chapter 27 Broken City
Pointing at the coordinates of the firearms depot on the map, Ye Mingsheng explained:
"That's right! Brother Liu, you have 400 men, and you are familiar with Liujing. After you blow up the weapons depot, it would be best if you could attack the various government offices in the palace to create chaos. Now my army is acting with intent but without intent. The chaotic situation is good for us. First, it will make the enemy unclear about how many people we have, and second, it can effectively delay the enemy's troop assembly."

After Ye Mingsheng finished speaking about his idea, everyone present's eyes lit up. They realized the benefits of this strategy and nodded in praise.

"obey"

After understanding Ye Mingsheng's meaning, Liu Shilin's eyes flashed with a barely detectable strange color, and then he said calmly:

Ye Mingsheng did not notice Liu Shilin's abnormality. After determining the overall combat strategy, he worked with Chen Yannian, Lin Huaiwu and others to perfect some details of the plan, and soon a complete plan was officially released.

After making sure that everyone knew what to do, Ye Mingsheng announced the adjournment of the meeting and asked his subordinates to prepare themselves.

After finishing the meeting, Liu Shilin returned to his subordinates and sat silently under a tree. The evening breeze blew for a long time, and he sighed silently as he felt a hint of coolness.

Because Ye Mingsheng had always given people the impression of being a weak-willed man who only knew how to curry favor with his superiors, in order to ensure that the plan was foolproof, Shen Jianzhong gave Ye Mingsheng the contact information of the Supervisory Department's spies around him.

If the battle goes unfavorably at that time, Liu Shilin can use this spy to kill Ye Mingsheng, take over the command, and make every effort to complete the battle and capture Liujing City!

Therefore, starting from Ruishan County, Liu Shilin has been trying to contact this spy from the Supervisory Office, but unfortunately his efforts were like a stone falling on the sea, and he did not receive any response at all.

There is no doubt that this spy has lost contact, and Liu Shilin knows very well what it means for a spy to lose contact.

Although he didn't have any evidence to prove that Ye Mingsheng had done it, for some reason, Liu Shilin was very sure that the spy had died at the hands of Ye Mingsheng...

Liu Shilin felt very complicated when he thought of this. As an intelligence worker of the Supervisory Department, before this cooperation, Liu Shilin habitually investigated Ye Mingsheng. The feedback he received all showed that Ye Mingsheng was a stubborn and incompetent fool.

However, after this period of contact, he was surprised to find that the Ye Mingsheng he had investigated and the Ye Mingsheng he was contacting now were like two completely different people.

Ye Mingsheng is not an incompetent fool as rumored. On the contrary, he is not only resourceful but also courageous!

Such a strong contrast made him raise a question in his mind.

Has Ye Mingsheng always been hiding his abilities in the past?

This question left Liu Shilin puzzled. He could only put it aside for the time being and start concentrating on preparing for the present. Now the only thing he had to do was to cooperate with Ye Mingsheng to capture Liu Jing. As for everything else, it was all just a passing cloud!

Three o'clock

At this time when people were most tired and least alert, Ye Mingsheng and his 3,000 men, after resting for two hours, had already made preparations in the woods, quietly looking at the distant Liujing City. With the help of the moonlight, Ye Mingsheng, hiding in the dark forest, could vaguely see the tall walls of Liujing in the distance.

As the strongest city in the Palace Capital Kingdom and also the political and military center of the Palace Capital Kingdom, although the walls of Liujing are not as tall and majestic as the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Luoan, their height also reaches three meters.

Not only that, there are also a series of defensive fortifications on the city wall, such as towers, arrow towers, and barbicans, as well as a moat that is ten meters wide and five meters deep.

If it had not been so strong, Li Zaiyuan, the commander of the Gongdu National Army, would not have been able to rely on this city to withstand the siege of 120,000 rebels for three months and wait until the arrival of reinforcements from the Great Zhou.

If there was no support from someone in the city, Ye Mingsheng, who had only more than 3,000 men under his command, would definitely not want to touch this huge monster in front of him!

The cold wind was blowing in the dead of night, and waves of biting chill surged through the body, but Ye Mingsheng, with a frown on his face, didn't care about it at all. His eyes were focused on the Liujing City in the distance.

Judging from the sky, it is already three o'clock in the morning. According to Liu Shilin's description, the people of the Supervisory Office in Liujing City should have already taken action. Why does Liujing City still look calm now?

Although he was a little anxious, as the commander of this army, Ye Mingsheng forced himself to stay calm and not show any anxiety. He was the commander, if he panicked, what would happen to others?
Although Ye Mingsheng didn't say anything, Liu Shilin, who was standing beside him, watched the time pass by, and the south gate of Liujing City was still closed.

The three gunshots that were supposed to serve as signals showed no sign of firing, and he couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

But in order to appease Ye Mingsheng, Liu Shilin gritted his teeth and took the initiative to explain:
"Master Ye, please rest assured. The insider in the city is Park Yong-chul, the guard of the South Gate. He is on duty tonight. There will be no problem!"

The feedback given by Liu Shilin obviously did not satisfy Ye Mingsheng, but given the current situation, he could only nod his head.

Another cup of tea passed, and Ye Mingsheng's patience was gradually exhausted. When he was secretly thinking about whether he could do anything at this time, the scene that everyone was looking forward to finally arrived.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three clear gunshots rang out in the silent night sky. After the gunshots, under Ye Mingsheng's surprised gaze, the south gate of Liujing City slowly opened.

Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng immediately became energized, and then he waved his hand. Chen Yannian, who had been prepared as the vanguard behind him, immediately led his troops and rushed towards the South Gate at the fastest speed according to the plan, while Ye Mingsheng followed closely with the rest of the large force.

Entering Liujing City, what caught Ye Mingsheng's eyes were forty or fifty corpses of palace soldiers. The air was also filled with a faint smell of blood, which made people clearly realize that a cruel war had begun.
