Chapter 229 Fuzhou on a Snowy Night (4)

When the army was still more than ten feet away from the city wall, Li Batian raised his arm, and the two thousand soldiers who had first entered the camp gradually stopped, and then fell to the ground one after another, hiding in the heavy snow. After a while, the sky was filled with heavy snow.

It concealed everyone's figure.

Li Batian's eyes were cold and stern, looking at the city through the constantly falling snowflakes. He was waiting for the best opportunity to climb onto the city.

There was a little firelight flickering slightly on the top of the city, and from time to time a long string of flames floated over the top of the city. It must be the patrol soldiers of the East City.

One of the defenders stretched out his torch and took a look at Cheng Cheng. Seeing nothing unusual, he continued to patrol casually. In their view, the defense of the east gate was just a decoration and unnecessary.

Relying on the firelight, Li Batian, who was hiding in the heavy snow, could still see some movement on the city top, but the eyes of the defenders on the city head were filled with endless darkness and heavy snow, and they had no idea that the danger was approaching.

The two thousand soldiers who first entered the camp were so quietly hiding under the eyes of the defenders, motionless.

After nightfall, the Liangzhou Army's offensive became more fierce, and the South Gate, which had just relied on two thousand reinforcements to stabilize the situation, became shaky again.

The total number of defenders at the south gate was only ten thousand, but outside there were nearly thirty thousand Liangzhou troops taking turns attacking the city. Arrows were raining down from above their heads, and some people would fall to the ground at any time.

In fact, after the Liangzhou infantry attacked the city for a day against the heavy snow, even if they took turns, their physical strength was exhausted. Now they are just holding on with one breath, but no one has said anything about retreating. How brave the Liangzhou soldiers are!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Liangzhou's siege ram kept hitting the south gate of Fuzhou City, and screams reached Zhou Weiran's ears.

"General, call for reinforcements from the east gate!" a deputy general roared, blood on his face mixed with snowflakes.

At this moment, the south gate tower was covered with corpses. Most of them were the Fuzhou Army who were shot to death by arrows, and there were also a very few corpses of the Liangzhou Army who jumped on top of the city. This was the most tragic day since the war began.

Zhou Weiran gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "Send the order! Let the three thousand defenders of the east gate come to the south gate immediately!"

"promise!"

Above the east gate, thousands of defenders did not stop once they received the order. Groups of soldiers lined up neatly and ran towards the south gate, leaving only a few dozen soldiers to guard the tower.

The shouts from the top of the city tower faintly reached Li Batian's ears, and most of the patrol firelight disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of Li Batian's mouth.

The opportunity has come!

After waiting quietly for a while, Li Batian suddenly jumped up from the snow. Countless figures emerged from the snow, and two thousand soldiers quickly approached the city wall.

Empress Li Batian leaned against the bluish-gray boulder. The foot of the city had grown a lot of moss due to being washed away by the lake water over the years. When she looked up along the wall, she didn't see a single person.

"Huh!" Li Batian took a deep breath and glanced at the soldiers in front and behind him, reaching out and making a gesture.

Quickly, many of the soldiers who first entered the camp took off the powerful crossbows tied to their waists, and a gleaming sharp arrow was placed on it. The arrowhead was an iron hook made of Mohist fine iron, and the arrow tail was connected to an iron hook.

A hemp rope half a fist thick.

A sharp arrow was immediately aimed at the city head of Fuzhou. Li Batian's right hand was slowly raised and suddenly dropped under the gaze of many soldiers.

"Ding ding ding!"

The sharp arrow was shot, and the iron hook of the arrow immediately hooked on the stone bricks at the top of the city. The two thousand soldiers who first climbed into the camp began to climb up the rope.

On the wall of the east gate, dozens of Fuzhou soldiers who stayed behind were huddled in twos and threes under the eaves to avoid the snow. They all looked extremely lazy. There was no one stationed on the huge and wide east wall.

"Boss, do you think the Liangzhou Army is having a seizure? This damn weather is still sieging the city. It won't freeze them to death." A lean man muttered with his hands in his arms, his feet trembling with cold.

"Who knows." The chief commander also said bitterly: "We have been fighting for half a year, and we have never had a peaceful life. If we have to defend the city in this snowy day, we will really die."

"Is nothing going to happen? The momentum of today's attack on the city sounds quite big!" A soldier squeezed towards the commander.

Although there was no movement at all on the east wall, they could hear the killing cries from the other three gates, and all the soldiers had a trace of uneasiness on their faces.

The commander took a few breaths of hot air into the palm of his hand and said with a helpless face: "At this point in the war, we can only leave it to fate. Anyway, there is no need to worry about Dongcheng. Even birds can't fly in. Don't worry."

"Ding ding ding!"

A faint harsh sound reached the commander's ears. The commander suddenly stood up and asked with startled eyes: "What's the sound?"

The commander's strange behavior made the surrounding soldiers stunned, and they all looked around blankly.

"Boss, this is just the cry of killing from the siege." A soldier said in confusion.

"That's not right!" A feeling of extreme danger flashed through the captain's mind, and he immediately picked up the spear leaning against the wall and ran towards the city wall with great strides.

The commander held a torch with one hand and stuck his head out of the city wall against the heavy snow. The scene in front of him shocked him.

A large number of iron hooks were nailed to the city wall, with long ropes hanging from the tail. Countless snow-white figures were climbing up in dense numbers, and the closest ones were already approaching the top of the city.

The commander's eyes suddenly widened, he turned around and shouted: "Enemy attack!"

Just when everyone was stunned, a white figure jumped in from outside the city wall and chopped off the leader with one knife, causing blood to splash everywhere.

Before the panic in Chief Biao's eyes dissipated, his body fell limply to the ground, revealing the ferocious-looking Li Batian behind him, and then one figure after another jumped onto the tower and appeared in everyone's sight.

Dozens of soldiers left behind were so frightened that they stared blankly at the white figure rushing toward them without any reaction.

"Enemy attack!"

Finally one of the soldiers reacted, roared with all his strength, and was then shot to the ground by an arrow.

"Ah!" A shrill scream sounded, and the soldiers who woke up from the shock fled in all directions. The figures running in a hurry were so ridiculous that they even forgot to resist.

Just kidding, do you think there are just a few dozen people who want to fight with me?

The soldiers of the first camp went around hunting for fish that slipped through the net, and soon there were dozens of corpses on the city wall. However, after all, the city wall was wide, and there would always be some who escaped. I believe that the Fuzhou defenders would react soon.

Li Batian didn't care about the people who ran away, wiped the blood on the blade with his snow-white cloak, and shouted: "Send the signal, others follow me to the south gate!"

Suddenly, several soldiers stood by the city wall, waving torches with their hands crossed, and then threw the torches down from the tower.
