Chen Dao waved his hand and withdrew his men. The thirty soldiers holding steel knives retreated into the dark forest and hid themselves in the blink of an eye. No trace could be seen again.
When Bian Xi saw this move, he couldn't help but admire Chen Dao. He actually hid the soldiers nowhere. This ability to hide soldiers was an extraordinary ability. He handed over to Chen Daogong with a smile on his face.
He said thoughtfully: "I didn't expect General Chen's hiding skills to be so good, but it made me admire you with admiration."
"General Bian has given you the award. Now the lord has issued an order that no one is allowed to leave the camp without permission. The two generals are so dressed up that they don't know where they are going?" Chen Daoye responded politely.
Xia Houlan wriggled her lips and was about to speak when her clothes were pulled by Bian Xi. He immediately understood and said, "I have nothing to do and I went out for a walk. I was afraid of encountering wild beasts, so I dressed like this."
Chen Dao's eyes were piercing, and he saw Bian Xi dressed in black night clothes, with a knife pouch tied to his limbs and waist, with nine flying knives in each. He also saw Xia Houlan also dressed in black night clothes, with a big bow on his back.
, there was a pot of arrows hanging on the right side of his waist, and a steel knife hanging on the left side of his waist. He noticed it, and then said: "Could it be that the two generals want to hunt at night?"
Bian Xi said: "Yes, we are going hunting."
"Haha, I'm afraid this prey is not in the mountains and forests nearby, right?" Chen Daoyin said with a smile.
Bian Xi said: "If it's not near here, then where else can it be?"
"In my opinion, the two generals are going to hunt in the domestic city, right?"
Bian Xi and Xia Houlan were both shocked and looked at each other.
"I have heard everything that happened during the day. Mr. Xu You vetoed the news that General Bian spied on. Now that General Bian is dressed in a smart outfit, he should go to the inner city to spy on the truth, right?" Chen Dao crossed his arms.
Chest, said softly.
Bian Xi saw that Chen Dao had clearly stated what he wanted to do in one sentence, and he valued Chen Dao even more. Seeing that Chen Dao was carrying two swords on his back, he was tall, and his armor also showed his martial prowess, he said directly: "Since you
You have already seen it, so I won’t hide it. General Xiahou and I are going to the inner city to find out the truth."
When Chen Dao saw Bian Xi admitting it, he lowered his arms and asked, "Does the lord know?"
Bian Xi shook his head and said to Chen Dao: "General Chen, it was my negligence this time and delayed the military flight. I will correct my mistake myself. Although the lord has ordered the entire army to be blocked, as for me, it can
You are free to come and go. I asked General Xiahou to help me enter the city. He will not enter the city and will be back soon, so please be kind to General Chen and let General Xiahou pass. He will be back in a moment."
Chen Dao glanced at Bian Xi and Xia Houlan, lowered his eyelids, thought about it silently, and then said: "Well, I'll go with you, one more person and one more helper."
This statement surprised Bian Xi. He had no friendship with Chen Dao and had never exchanged a few words with each other. For a moment, he was stunned, not knowing whether to refuse or agree.
Xia Houlan didn't speak, just stood there quietly, waiting for Bian Xi's reply.
Chen Dao saw Bian Xi's worry and said directly: "General Bian, please don't worry. I think I'm good at martial arts. I used to be a loner. And climbing the city wall is easy for me. One more person."
With one more helper, if there is any danger, everyone can take care of each other."
Xia Houlan turned around and said to Bian Xi: "Brother Bian, what General Chen said makes sense. I'm not worried about you going into the city alone. I heard that General Chen has superb martial arts and superb swordsmanship. If you two go into the city together,
We can still take care of each other.”
Bian Xi nodded: "Okay, General Chen, after entering, you must follow my arrangements. I am familiar with the situation in the city."
"Can!"
After the three people discussed it, Chen Dao called a few of his personal followers and asked them to continue to take strict precautions here. He himself took off his armor, dressed lightly, and followed Bian Xi and Xiahou with his own two swords.
Lan is on the road.
The domestic city is less than ten miles away from where the three of them are. The three of them are well-trained people and can walk very quickly. After passing through a chaotic mountain forest, they entered the plain area.
In the night, the three people ran as fast as possible towards the domestic city that was getting closer and closer to them.
The Goguryeo people did not have the habit of setting up scouts. They liked to go straight, attack when they were told, and retreat when they were told. Therefore, Bian Xi, Xia Houlan, and Chen Dao encountered no obstacles along the way, and soon arrived outside the city.
Under the majestic Changbai Mountains and on the banks of the turbulent Yalu River, a majestic city unfolds.
On a towering tree outside Domestic City, Bian Xi, Chen Dao, and Xia Houlan sat high on the tree trunk, staring closely at the city in front, observing every move in the city.
There was a hint of excitement on Chen Dao's face. The reason why he came here was because he wanted to make another meritorious deed on his own. As soon as he came to Youzhou, he was awarded the title of general. This was very rare in the eyes of Gao Fei's old troops.
, not to mention that he was still very young and had not accomplished any meritorious deeds, so he felt that he deserved it. In order to be worthy of his title of general and to show his prowess in front of Gao Fei's old troops, he followed him.
In front of Chen Dao was a majestic city. This kind of city was very different from the cities he usually saw in the Central Plains. Most of the cities in the Central Plains were rectangular and angular, but the city in front of him was
Circular, the city took on an oval shape, surrounding it for most of a circle before disappearing into darkness.
"How...how do you get into this city?" Chen Dao had a question in his mind when he saw that the circular city wall was filled with Goguryeo soldiers and the lights were brightly lit everywhere.
Xia Houlan's heart was also full of doubts. There were almost no dead ends in the circular city wall. As long as the city wall was full of people, once an abnormality occurred in a place, it would attract people around it and it would be difficult to find a place to climb.
Bian Xi seemed to be able to understand the mood of Chen Dao and Xia Houlan at this time, and said appropriately: "The city of Goguryeo is different from that of the Central Plains. This city is oval, and it is difficult to find a dead end to climb. Moreover, this city is different from the ones behind it.
The castles on Wando Mountain are connected together. The inner city is located on the plain, with Mount Wando as its back.
The city starts from this city wall and extends to Wandu Mountain behind. The Goguryeo people also have a city on Wandu Mountain, which complements the domestic city on the plain. The two are integrated into each other. The city can accommodate 50,000 to 60,000 people, which is considered
It is the largest city in Dongyi. If there are no siege equipment, it will be difficult to launch an attack."
When Chen arrived, Xia Houlan asked, "How should we enter the city?"
"The capital of the Goguryeo people is mainly the domestic city on the plains, supplemented by Wandu Mountain Castle. Because of this, the seemingly circular city wall does not have any dead ends, but it has also become the biggest shortcoming of this city. Wandu Mountain City is surrounded by mountains.
It is a screen, the hillside is a palace, and the valley mouth is a gate. However, when building the city wall, there was a starting point.
There are some dangerous places that cannot be closely connected with the domestic city, which become the dead ends of the capital, and you can climb in from there. However, they are located in dangerous places, and the cliffs are not easy to climb, so
No one can enter from there except me." Bian Xi explained again.
Chen Dao's face was startled: "You mean, I can't climb in from there?"
Bian Xi nodded: "But we won't take that route today. It's time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it's not as convenient as walking through the city wall."
Chen Dao looked at the circular city wall in front of him with no blind spots, and asked: "The soldiers here patrol very closely. It may be a bit difficult to climb the city wall from the front."
Bian Xi chuckled: "For me, it's easy. We have been observing here for almost half an hour. Have you noticed that the soldiers on the city wall will hand over every quarter of an hour, and during the handover?
There will be a small gap, and we will use this time to climb in."
Facing the high wall and the tight time, Chen Dao's face twitched a little. In his opinion, it took a cup of tea to climb a city wall about two feet high, and there were no edges for him to step on. It was simply too much.
It was difficult. But when he saw that Bian Xi was confident and it seemed easy to do, he asked, "How are you going to climb the city?"
Bian Xi said: "It's very simple, just climb up along the wall. Don't worry, I will have some time to take you up after I go up."
Chen Dao's martial arts skills are undeniable, but he is not good at climbing over eaves and walls. If you are in a city like the Central Plains, and the middle wall has edges and corners, you only need to find a place with smaller edges and corners, and use your hands and feet to prop up your body.
He could go up. However, he had no confidence in the circular wall, and couldn't help but fell three points short in front of Bian Xi.
The three of them waited for a while and saw a hole in the city wall.
Bian Xi hurriedly shouted at this time: "Brother Xiahou, you stay here, we will be back in an hour, General Chen, follow me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bian Xi jumped down, used his strength to bounce on several tree trunks, and then landed on the ground.
Not to be outdone, Chen Dao jumped down, rolled on the ground, and then followed Bian Xi and ran toward the city wall in front.
Bian Xi rushed to the edge of the wall in a hurry. In addition, the moon was obscured by dark clouds at this time, his body was light and he did not make any noise, and people around him were making handovers. For him, this wall
It's like no man's land.
He stepped on the wall with the strength of his run-up. After climbing half of the city wall, his body felt like he was falling. He resolutely took out two flying knives with both hands and inserted them into the wall with force. The blades of the flying knives flew directly into the wall.
He sank into the wall, used the strength of his hands to pull his body upwards, and climbed up bit by bit while holding the throwing knife, like a spider.
Chen Dao's eyes lit up when he saw what Bian Xi was doing. He immediately pulled out the two knives from his back and threw them out with all his strength when he got close to the wall. The two knives were inserted into the wall one high and one low, leaving only a long sword exposed.
The hilt of the knife.
At this time, he began to use the inertia of fast running to step on the wall. He finally climbed halfway. When he was about to fall, he stretched out his long arm and grabbed the handle of the knife he had just inserted into the wall. I saw that he borrowed his arm strength.
He made his body into a convolution shape,
The whole person flew upwards. He pulled out the knife and hurriedly put it into the scabbard. Then his body jumped into the air and grabbed the handle of the second knife. He then used the same method to lift his body upwards.
Taking advantage of the situation, he pulled out the sword and put it into its sheath, and then he jumped onto the city wall.
Bian Xi climbed up the city wall first and turned around to meet Chen Dao. Unexpectedly, he saw Chen Dao also climbed up skillfully, and a smile appeared on his face.
Chen Dao also smiled. As soon as he climbed onto the city wall, he immediately whispered to Bian Xi: "Where are we going now?"
Bian Xi said: "Follow me!"
The two of them, one after the other, quickly slid down the city wall along the city wall. As soon as they landed, they ran straight into the darkness and disappeared without a trace.
Xia Houlan, who was sitting on a tree outside the city, saw it and was already stunned. If Bian Xi could climb the city wall, he would not be surprised at all. But when he saw that Chen Dao seemed to have climbed the city wall in a more effortless way, he was shocked.
I was a little surprised. I never thought that Chen Dao had such abilities.
"If the weapons in their hands were not made of steel, they would not be able to climb the city wall smoothly..."
As soon as he finished talking to himself, he noticed the arrival of the Goguryeo patrol team, making up for the time difference just now, and he couldn't help but sweat for Bian Xi and Chen Dao.
After entering the city, Bian Xi took Chen Dao through the streets and alleys of the city. Bian Xi very skillfully took Chen Dao to a large house. He did not encounter any patrol teams along the way. The Goguryeo people were strong on the outside but hard on the inside.
They attach great importance to external defense work, but do not pay attention to the defense of the city, because they always believe that no one can climb in such a strong city.
"Where is this place?" Chen Dao saw a luxurious mansion in front of him. Looking at the mansion, he knew that it was definitely not suitable for ordinary people to live in. Moreover, there were a group of Goguryeo warriors standing outside the mansion.
Bian Xi said: "This is where the leaders of the other four tribes of Goguryeo are imprisoned. As long as we go in and find out, we can understand the whole story."
Chen Dao nodded and said: "Then let's go in. Things will change later."
Bian Xi said "hmm" and said to Chen Dao: "Follow me!"
The two of them went back to the back door of the house together. Seeing that there were only two people guarding the back door, Bian Xi shot two flying knives, which directly penetrated the throats of the two soldiers, preventing them from screaming.
After the two gatekeepers died, Bian Xi and Chen Dao dragged the two dead bodies into a dark corner, and then the two entered the yard through the back door.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Bian Xi found that the defense in the courtyard was very weak. Before he had time to rejoice, he saw fires everywhere. Many Goguryeo warriors poured out from under the corridor and outside the courtyard gate, surrounding him and Chen.
Surround.
"Hahaha, I've been waiting for you for a long time. General Bian, are you okay?" A man in Han Chinese clothing walked out surrounded by people and said with a hearty smile.
