"Have you seen it later...have you been discovered by anyone?"
The leader asked the subordinates behind him, and the answer he received was naturally negative.
"It must be absolutely foolproof... Whether we can turn over or not depends entirely on this battle."
This man was wearing the military uniform of a Jiangdong soldier, but to be honest, the previous Lien Zhan, Liu Bei and others' overwhelming power made them realize that Jiangdong was hopeless.
In the past, I had only heard that Jiangdong was in chaos. They, the subordinates, had no information channels, so how could they possibly know the news from the higher-ups.
They can only judge their situation through their own actual feelings.
The fact is that when the cities in front of them collapsed one after another, as an ordinary person with a family, even if they chose to defect to Liu Bei, it would be a helpless move.
In short, this is how they comfort themselves.
The night was still dark, but everyone's footsteps were getting faster and faster. Judging from their breathing, everyone in this team was in quite complicated moods.
Finally, the city gate was right in front of us, and everyone’s hearts were tightly clenched the moment they saw the city gate——
"No...no one?"
Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene.
But then, when everyone looked at each other, they all saw the excitement in each other's eyes.
"No one is there!"
"What about on the city? What about on the city wall?"
"Brother! The people on the city wall seem to be changing shifts!"
"Shh-I seem to hear something..."
At this moment, the leader suddenly stopped everyone and asked everyone to prick up their ears and listen to the sounds on the street.
call--
The autumn wind was bleak, the coolness was gradually rising, and there didn't seem to be much to pay attention to on the streets.
But after all, with the leader's reminder, everyone still looked at the street with bated breath.
"It seems... there is a jingling sound?"
"Jingle?"
Someone with better hearing said uncertainly, causing everyone to be confused for a while.
But... a long time passed, and no one appeared on the street.
"No... we can't delay it any longer. It's already arrived at the appointed time. Everyone listens to my order and rushes out in two groups, the left and right, and directly opens the city gate. Who, remember, the moment we open the city gate, we must release
The fire arrow must not be mistaken."
"clear!"
Everyone agreed in unison, suppressing the previous doubts in their hearts.
As the leader rushed out, everyone quickly rushed out of the alley. They had already planned their route, and because they were authentic Jiangdong soldiers, they also had a good understanding of the defenses of various cities.
So when they rushed out, everyone had already chosen the shortest route.
Judging from the dark night, this small team passed through the streets like a black shadow, rushing towards the city gate as fast as possible.
The city gate remained cold and silent, seemingly unresponsive to the coming crisis - on the city wall, the silhouettes of soldiers swayed faintly, but there was obviously no abnormality under the city.
Not long after, everyone was in position at the same time. The leader took a deep breath, and then made a gesture to everyone——
"One...two..."
"three!"
Everyone was counting silently in their hearts at this time. After three numbers, everyone worked together——
Creaking - it seems that the city gate has not been opened for a long time, and when the chain pulls the gate, the hinge of the city gate makes the kind of rusting sound that only old iron products can make.
Immediately afterwards, the rumbling sound was transmitted to the city wall. The tall and majestic city wall seemed like a frightened giant beast. Only in the trembling and panic did he notice the insect under his feet.
——
nervous?
excited?
It's hard to describe how they feel now after they opened the city gate for Liu Bei's army with just a few people.
But no matter what, their mission is basically over here.
The city gate was quickly opened, and even if they could stand higher at the city gate, they could definitely see the traces of Liu Bei's army that was already vaguely flashing in the distance.
There is only one link left...
Everyone looked back at the street behind them at the same time, and sure enough, standing there was the last person they had left to send the signal.
Seeing that everyone worked together to open the city gate, the man did not hesitate, bent his bow and set an arrow, lit the linen on the arrow with fire, and shot it into the night sky with all his strength.
A line of fire streaked across the sky, not only breaking the silence of the night for a long time, but also crossing the vision of Zhuge Liang and others.
Ten miles outside Jianye City——
At this moment, everyone in Liu Bei's army who was advancing to smear the enemy saw the fire arrows in the night sky, and everyone's silent hearts were excited.
"military adviser!"
"I saw it, tell General Zilong to speed up ahead!"
When Zhuge Liang heard the calls from the soldiers around him, he did not hesitate at all. He waved his feather fan and asked the soldiers to tell Zhao Yun to step up.
At the same time, Zhang Fei immediately shouted to the soldiers around him:
"Soldiers, cheer up. When Zilong and the others break through, we will climb onto the city together and capture Jianye in one fell swoop!"
"Here!"
Zhang Fei's momentum was so strong that even the soldiers around him responded enthusiastically.
As long as Jianye is captured, breaking through Wuhui and Wuhui will be within easy reach.
——
In the same city, the city gate was opened for Liu Bei's army and the signal was successfully sent out. This rebellious team successfully completed its mission.
But there was one thing that made the leader somewhat strange.
"How come no one from the city has come down yet?"
Yes, his sigh is the truth, and the fact is that up to now, even if they opened the city gate under the cover of night, the defenders on the city did not feel any surprise at all.
Napping?
Even if they were really taking a nap and there was such a big commotion outside the city, they wouldn't have no reaction at all, right?
But…
"Boss...this...what's going on? Isn't there something wrong with the reaction of those defending the city?"
The archery man ran over panting and said this to everyone who looked confused.
However, after seeing everyone's expressions, he realized that their thoughts might not be much different from his.
Especially the leader——
He raised his head and looked at the flag fluttering on the city wall. Even though it was night, the red characters floating in the wind were still clearly visible.
But higher than the red characters, a soldier's head suddenly poked out.
"broken!"
"Quick...hide!"
The leader suddenly shuddered and quickly looked away.
There is one biggest problem that they have never paid attention to. It may be because Jianye's reaction is so strange that even they have ignored their current situation.
They were now exposed to any enemy who would come to the city gate to investigate the situation. They had no problem completing their mission, but after completing their mission, the first thing they had to do was to run away.
But…
Although the leader reacted, the archer who had just arrived among the crowd was stunned as if his brain had shut down.
He even... even made eye contact with the soldier who was looking over the city.
