The sky finally darkened while everyone was waiting. The bright moon was in the sky, and the sky was silent. The night owls in the distance occasionally heard two chirpings, making the sky and the earth even more empty!

Under a quiet night sky, in the dense forests more than ten miles south of Xiazhiguan, countless black shadows were slowly spreading across the mountains and fields to Xiazhiguan, which was north, like a black wave.

But the wave was silent and gave people a strange feeling. This was the joint force of Cao Cao and Sun Quan, and they finally started to take action.

In front of this huge army, five thousand elite troops led by General Yu Jin were quickly approaching Xiazhi Pass with the help of the night and the dense forests.

When they climbed a hill that was not conspicuous, the mail-posters scattered on the hills in front of them came into view under the moonlight.

Yu Jin and others hid under the shadow of trees on the hills, their eyes carefully observing the whistle towers ahead through the branches and leaves.

I saw a whistle tower standing on almost every hill. They were spaced from each other at a distance of close and far, and the distance was only a few hundred steps, and the distance was probably more than a few thousand steps. Looking around, it seemed like you could not see the end, and the scene was very spectacular.

Yu Jin turned his head and said to more than a dozen military officers around him: "Action as planned!"

Everyone agreed to the promise with their fists and ran down immediately, leading their respective subordinates into the mountains and forests ahead, and disappeared. Yu Jin also led hundreds of people around him to quickly get off the hill and run towards the nearest whistle.

Walking through dense mountains and forests, the moonlight shines through dense branches and leaves and falls into the woodland, forming large or small, dense or sparse spots.

Yu Jin and hundreds of people under him subconsciously slowed down and held their breath, as if they were afraid that they would disturb the enemy troops in the sentry tower ahead.

Not long after, the hundreds of people led by Yu Jin arrived in the mountains and forests near the sentry tower and stopped.

At this time, the sentry tower stood not far outside the woods, covering the moonlight in the sky. It was about thirty steps away from Yu Jin and the others hiding. Yu Jin and others could hear the voices of the sentry on the sentry tower.

However, judging from the current situation, if Yu Jin and the others rushed out of the woods, they would be immediately noticed by the sentry on the sentry tower.

Yu Jin turned his head and said to an officer beside him: "Please arrow!"

The officer responded and immediately waved to the dozen officers and soldiers behind him.

The dozen or so officers immediately took out the powerful crossbow on their backs, stepped on the ring and put a strange arrow with round and blunt heads, then raised the powerful crossbow and aimed at the woods behind the wardrobe.

As Yu Jin waved his hand, more than a dozen officers and soldiers immediately pulled the trigger, and a slight whistle of wind came from the air, and the dozen arrows disappeared in front of them in an instant. Immediately afterwards, the sound of a ping-ping bang bang suddenly came from the woods behind the whistle tower.

These sounds immediately alarmed the sentry on the whistle. The figures on the whistle quickly gathered to the side where the sound came. Someone said alertly: "There is a sound in the woods!"

Yu Jin stared at the situation on the wardrobe and waved his hand suddenly, and ran out at the same time. The officers and soldiers immediately followed Yu Jin and quickly passed through the open space between the wardrobe and rushed to the bottom of the wardrobe.

The sentry on the whistle observed the sound of the sound in the woods for a long time, but did not find any abnormalities. One person said, "What kind of wild beast should be? There are so many wild beasts in the woods, so there are no need to make a fuss."

The others thought what he said made sense, nodded, then scattered and continued to look around. At this moment, they did not realize that hundreds of people had already arrived under their whistle.

Because of the angle, if the sentry on the sentry tower had not poked his head out and looked down, they would not have seen Yu Jin and the others at all, so they would not have found Yu Jin and the others at all.

Yu Jin listened to the movements on the whistle and realized that the other party had not noticed him, so he waved his hand immediately. More than a dozen particularly agile soldiers immediately bit their daggers and climbed up the stairs, and everyone was careful to ensure that they did not make any sound.

Time seemed to become very slow at this moment. In Yujin's feeling, it seemed that it took almost an hour for the dozen soldiers to climb below the top platform.

At this time, the dozen soldiers stopped, and then several people actually left the stairs from one side, grabbed the wooden beams on the wooden building and slowly moved to the bottom of the top platform, ready to attack.

At this moment, the leader of the team first jumped up from the stairs, and the warriors who climbed below the platform immediately jumped up over the fence and jumped into the platform at the top!

The six Liu Xianjun sentries on the mail tower suddenly saw many black shadows leaping up from all directions. They were shocked. Before they could react, the black shadow pounced on his chest with a dagger!

There were a few loud bangs and the six sentries fell into a pool of blood before they even had time to scream.

At this moment, a sentry that was clearly pierced by his opponent's chest suddenly rose up, hugged the enemy who was about to stand up in front of him, and roared and rushed out of the platform.

Before the others could react, the two of them broke open the fence and fell down, and with a loud bang, they fell heavily to the ground!

Several Cao army warriors on the platform came to their senses and rushed to the edge to see. They saw that the two who fell down could not move, and they couldn't help but feel upset.

Yu Jin was also surprised to see the two people falling down suddenly, but after seeing that their warriors had successfully seized the wardrobe, he felt relieved.

At the same time, the Cao army teams also launched a surprise attack on the post towers arranged by Liu Xianjun outside Xiazhi Pass.

Because the surprise attack came too suddenly, and the Cao army was obviously prepared, the more than 20 sentry towers arranged by Liu Xianjun were removed without having time to issue an alarm!

Not long after, Cao Cao and Sun Quan, who were leading the army to advance slowly, received good news from Yu Jin and learned that all the sentry towers arranged by the opponent outside Xiazhi Pass were successfully removed, and all the sentry were successfully removed, and no one escaped.

The two were very happy, and Sun Quan said excitedly: "General Yu Jin fulfilled his mission! In this way, the first step is completed smoothly, and we can catch them off guard!"

Zhou Yu said: "There are only about 20,000 troops in Xiazhi Pass. There is a great possibility that the surprise attack will break through the city pass in one fell swoop!"

The reason why Zhou Yu said this is because Xiazhi Pass itself is very small, and the city pass can only accommodate about 20,000 officers and soldiers.

Therefore, the main force of Liu Xianjun could only station in the plains more than ten miles behind Xiazhi Pass, which left them with about an hour of space.

As long as the coalition forces can launch a surprise attack smoothly, facing the opponent's 20,000 unprepared people, the possibility of success in one fell swoop is indeed very high.

Neither Cao Cao nor Sun Quan wanted to waste time, so he immediately ordered their respective troops to accelerate their advance, and they would launch a raid on Xiazhiguan before sunrise.
