Chapter 805 Taking advantage of the chaos to assassinate
The cold moonlight shrouded the city gate.
Seeing the opportunity to survive, the wounded soldiers rushed out of the city gate one by one as if they had been given blood, ran forward quickly, and soon disappeared in the hazy moonlight.
After all the wounded soldiers left the city, Luo Ying was about to lead his troops to fight back when he saw a cavalry rushing over and quickly alerted him. Then he recognized Duoji in the dim moonlight and shouted in surprise: "General Duoji, why are you here?"
"Hahaha, those people said they were rescued by General Luo. Come and see, it's really you. That's great. The King of Han asked me to guard the back door and not let anyone go. Why is there no one guarding this city gate?"
"The end of the enemy's defense is at the main gate. A hundred people were left on guard at the back gate. They have already been killed. General Duoji might as well lead his troops to rush in directly. The movement might be louder to attract the enemy troops to come in and reduce the pressure of siege at the main gate. Remember not to kill
Go to the front, just stay in the back."
"Hahaha, that's what I meant. Since General Luo has no objections, let's go and make arrangements." Duoji replied excitedly, pulled the horse's head, and quickly drove away. As for why he didn't just go to the front and win it in one fell swoop.
City, Duoji guessed that Luo Ying had his own considerations, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"Let's go and save people!" Luo Ying shouted to the soldiers around him. When Duoji came in, the defenders in the city would be in chaos and would jump over the wall in a hurry. The hostages must be rescued first.
The soldiers followed quickly and rushed along the street.
Soon, there were more people in front of them, and it would be easy to expose their whereabouts if they went directly. Luo Ying looked around, quickly locked an area, rushed up in one run, and climbed onto the roof. Others followed suit, as agile as an ape.
After a while, everyone got on the roof and followed Luo Ying to continue rushing forward. The houses here are different from the slope roofs of the Tang Dynasty. They all have flat roofs, making it easy to run. Moreover, the houses are next to each other, and the distance between them is only one meter.
The soldiers jumped over easily and moved like the wind.
On the ground, the Turkic defenders were all focused on the front, and no one paid attention to the roof.
Luo Ying led his men to an area and jumped down. The soldiers also followed suit. When they saw Luo Ying pointing to the street in front of him, he used the tactical sign language of spreading the defense, and each of them quickly crawled away to find a good position.
He stood still and stared at the surroundings with cold eyes.
The street is relatively wide and is the only way for the army to retreat. The surrounding ground is full of civilians who have come to help in the battle. In front is a larger open space. A large army is waiting solemnly, staring at the city gate. There are also people on the distant city wall.
The army, which was full of vigilance, looked outside the city, but no one paid attention to the situation inside the city.
Seeing that his whereabouts were not exposed, Luo Ying calmed down and typed out a series of battle signs saying "Be patient and calm down" before continuing to search. Then, torches on the city wall quickly found the hostages. Each of them had their hands tied behind their backs and hung around their necks.
A knife, but fortunately both feet are free, so being able to walk makes rescue operations much easier.
This discovery made Luo Ying calm down. After thinking about it, he still didn't send a signal.
As soon as the signal comes out, the door will explode.
As soon as the city gate is opened and the army rushes in, the enemy will definitely die if there is no hope, which is not advisable.
"kill--"
Suddenly, there was a deafening shout of killing from behind, and countless torches were moving quickly.
Luo Ying looked back and smiled. Duoji was so sincere and moved so much!
The shouts of killing caused the enemy troops to panic, and they all turned around to check. Luo Ying and his men were lying on the roof without moving, and because they were all dressed in black, they did not arouse any suspicion.
Soon, an army of a thousand people marched towards the rear, passing by the street where everyone was ambushing. The soldiers looked at Luo Ying one after another. When they saw no order to attack, they did not take action. They held their breath to avoid being exposed and let him leave.
How can a thousand people be killed enough?
After a while, the shouts of killing became much quieter, and an enemy general rushed over on horseback, covered in blood. Luo Ying guessed that the enemy army was defeated and that this man was here to report a message and signal everyone not to take action.
The enemy general quickly rushed to the open area, turned over and fell off his horse, shouted something, and then mobilized another army of 3,000 people and rushed straight to the rear.
There is a warehouse in the back with all kinds of supplies. It can't be saved without saving.
If no one comes to kill them, the hostages are useless, so we can only send troops to rescue them.
Luo Ying calculated this correctly, so he asked Duoji to only cause trouble in the rear. Seeing that the enemy fell into the plan, and the effect was good, he was overjoyed. When he looked back, he found that many places were lit with fires. He was shocked that Duoji would not burn.
A granary, right? That's a trophy.
Then I thought about it, Duoji was probably not that stupid. He probably set the fire deliberately to put pressure on the enemy, so as to attract more soldiers and reduce the pressure on the front.
Three thousand men and horses rushed over quickly, and the shouts of killing were heard again from behind.
Luo Ying locked eyes on a general in the open area in front of him. It was this man who reported the news just now. It was this man who gave the order and three thousand troops left. If he killed this man, there would be chaos in the city.
Thoughts flash past and are no longer able to be suppressed.
Luo Ying quickly gestured to the dozen or so people closest to him to gather around him, and said in a low voice: "One direction, about fifty meters away, the target is a man wearing armor and riding a war horse. Listen to my order and count to three and start together.
, kill this person."
Everyone quickly locked onto the target by the light of the enemy's torch and nodded.
"one!"
Everyone raised their repeating crossbows and took aim attentively.
"two!"
Luo Ying also locked the target's back and held on to the machine.
"three!"
More than a dozen crossbow bolts sounded almost at the same time, rushing forward like poisonous snakes flying in the dark night.
The sound of the aircraft's amplified sound and the flying crossbows were covered up by the shouts of killing, and combined with the moonlight and dust, the visibility was very low, and no one noticed the sneak attack on the roof.
More than a dozen crossbow bolts pierced the void almost at the same time, hitting different targets with the kinetic energy that penetrated everything.
After all, a repeating crossbow is a repeating crossbow, not a sniper rifle, so there is a big difference.
Because of this, Luo Ying asked more than a dozen people to take action at the same time to increase the hit rate.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Screams rang out one after another. The target fell from the horse. No one knew who shot him. Several of the guards around the target also fell. The screams caused panic and people gathered around him.
Soon, a team escorted the target and left in a hurry.
When the surrounding Turkic troops saw this scene, they looked at each other and were at a loss. If the general was dead, how could they still fight this battle?
A general jumped out and shouted something, as if to boost morale and take command.
How could Luo Ying be polite? He repeated his old tricks and fired another dozen crossbow bolts at him, knocking him down.
This time, the Turkic defenders became even more panicked and searched everywhere.
But the crossbow arrow attack was too subtle and too sudden. No one knew where it came from. Some people even began to suspect that one of their own people took the opportunity to seek revenge and vent their anger. Who can become a general? Who has not bullied a few people with his strength?
This speculation quickly spread among the Turkic defenders, and everyone was immediately in danger.
There were also generals who suspected that their opponents had sent people to kill them, so they hid in a dark place and mobilized their troops to prepare for a search. However, they heard the shouts of killing from behind the city stopped again, which meant that the three thousand people were defeated, and they suddenly panicked.
How can we fight this battle if three thousand people are defeated so quickly?
For a moment, the whole army was shocked and at a loss.
