Chapter 1068 Chaos in Wuguan
"Dang Dang Dang!"
Dozens of scratching hooks with iron claws were firmly hooked on the masonry of the city wall. Such a little movement was insignificant amidst the sounds of fighting throughout the city.
At a glance, dense black shadows were already clinging to the city wall. Yan Erda's soldiers had very good arms and kept climbing up the ropes, reaching the edge of the city in the blink of an eye.
Yan Erda carefully poked his head out, and after making sure that there were no Liang soldiers around, he jumped up and climbed up the city wall.
"Puff puff puff~"
The 500-number Yan troops came in one after another. The ones who came up first immediately looked for walls and other hidden objects, blending in with the night, while paying attention to the movements around them.
There was uncontrollable excitement in Yan Erda's heart. As expected, Liang Jun was attracted by the fighting in the north, and no one noticed that their small team slipped in.
If it were an honest siege, I don't know how many people would have died if they wanted to board the Wuguan tower, but now, they got in effortlessly.
"Boss, there's no one!" One of the soldiers under his command said in a low voice. They had already roughly searched the city wall, but indeed they didn't see Liang Jun.
"Let's go!" Yan'er replied without any nonsense. With a wave of his scimitar, he led the people away towards the city.
Everyone followed the stone steps and carefully walked into the city. As soon as they got off the city wall, they saw two neat rows of wooden houses on both sides of the road, which seemed to be used to garrison troops.
But at this moment, these wooden houses were dark and there was no movement at all. It is estimated that all the soldiers inside had gone to support the battle on the northern city wall.
"What a God-given opportunity, let's go!" Yan'er replied happily, trotting along the roadside, and the bustling black shadows suddenly filled the wide road.
Just when the hundreds of Yan troops were halfway there, a sudden change occurred!
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Countless arrows were shot instantly from the barracks on both sides of the road. The arrows penetrated the paper windows and plunged into Yan Bing's body. At the same time, many torches lit up, illuminating the area like
daytime.
"Ahhh!"
Screams sounded one after another.
"Damn it, I've fallen into a trap, find a place to hide!" Yan Erda's reaction was very quick. The moment the first arrow was shot, he roared violently, and then swung two swords to separate the feathers flying towards him.
The arrow rolled over and rolled behind a boulder.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
"Ahhh!"
The rest of the Yan soldiers were not so lucky. The sudden rain of arrows caught them off guard. Those who were quick could still block a few shots with their swords, but those who were closer to the wooden house fell to the ground instantly and died.
Because the distance was too close, some sharp arrows even penetrated the body of the first Yan soldier without any hindrance, and pierced the chest of the next one fiercely.
"Find a bunker! Hurry!" Yan Erda shouted angrily, anxious.
But this is a spacious avenue, and there are not so many bunkers. Many Yan soldiers can only run around, or just lie down on the ground, betting that the arrows will not hit them. This also caused the Yan soldiers to trample on each other, and the scene became tense.
Very confusing.
Yan Erda was also a veteran in the army for many years. Seeing this situation, he still didn't understand that the Liang army deliberately withdrew the defenders at the top of the city so that they could come in with confidence and boldness.
How could his own actions be discovered by Liang Jun? But Yan'er had no time to think about this now.
"Ahhh!"
The number of people who fell to the ground after being hit by arrows increased dramatically. Some people were shot directly into a hornet's nest, while others were half lying on the ground, wailing in pain, dragging their legs full of blood and crawling on the ground, trying to escape from this place of death.
Yan Erda could only watch the tragedy happen with blood-red eyes, unable to do anything at all.
In an instant, half of the 500-number Yan army fell, and the rest were in a miserable state.
"Kill!"
The arrow rain suddenly stopped at this moment, and many torches lit up in the wooden houses on both sides, and a large number of Liang Army infantrymen came out from inside with shining swords in their hands.
"Damn it, fight them!" Yan Erda roared angrily, and took the lead to pounce on Liang Jun with a knife.
"kill!"
After all, they were the private army of the Shentu family. Their fighting spirit was indeed much stronger than that of ordinary prairie soldiers. They knew they were in a desperate situation but still did not break up. Instead, they rushed forward to fight with the Liang army.
Yan Erda knew that the only possibility for them to survive today was if their own army broke through the city.
But is it possible?
Liangzhou General Ye Xiaoxiao, who was dressed in iron armor, walked out of the wooden house step by step, squinting his eyes and murmuring: "Sure enough, there are Yan soldiers sneaking in, but it's a pity that there are only so many people..."
…
The South City Wall was in a fight, and the North City Wall was also experiencing fierce fighting.
Five thousand carefully selected soldiers climbed to the top of the city and started close combat with Liang's army. They had already suffered hundreds of casualties in the process of climbing the city.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
"drink!"
"Pfft!"
These infantrymen of the Yan army were also red-blooded. Mu Yunduankang promised them before the battle that as long as the city was broken, the soldiers who survived the attack would be promoted to two levels in rank, and those who died would also receive generous pensions.
In order to ensure the success of the siege, even if our own soldiers had climbed to the top of the city, the stone-throwing offensive outside the city still had no intention of stopping.
Outside the city, Tuotuo Buhua had already mounted his horse and raised his gun. Behind him was a huge cavalry formation, with a total of 30,000 cavalry. Mu Yunduankang took out all the elite cavalry at once, preparing to do something.
A big gamble.
What they didn't know was that the so-called surprise soldiers were already in dire straits at this moment. Not to mention supporting them in climbing the city, they might not even be able to influence the Liang army.
In the Wuguan meeting hall, Chu Yucheng and Shi Shiran were sitting on a chair. He had maintained this posture for half the night, and military reports from all over the city were constantly coming to him.
No matter how fierce the Yan army attacks the city, he doesn't worry. As long as the city gate is not breached, they can only kill people inside.
If the city gate is broken, the tiger and leopard cavalry in the city, the Red Flame Army, and five thousand elite heavy cavalry have already been prepared. At worst, there will be a life-and-death fight in the city.
The only thing he was worried about was where the Yan army's surprise troops were. Only when Chu Yucheng showed up could he feel completely at ease.
A messenger soldier finally walked into the house quickly, clasped his fists and shouted: "General, there is a sneak attack by the Yan army at the south city gate. There are about hundreds of people. General Ye has surrounded them and is killing them."
"Okay! Haha!" Chu Yucheng finally stood up and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I have something to rely on. I almost fell into their trap."
If Ye Xiaoxiao hadn't been there and allowed these five hundred people to sneak to the north gate, Liang Jun would have suffered a big loss.
Zhuge gave a confused thumbs up: "Chu Du is so good at guarding the materials. Bai Xuewei is out of the city and the prince is not in the city. This is the time when our defenders are at their weakest."
