Zhu Zhuke led his 7,000 Zhen soldiers and followed Wu Chao back to the city gate. Seeing the fierce fighting on the city top, Wu Chao, without saying a word, rushed up to the city wall with his sword and commanded his soldiers to fight.
Seeing Wu Chao leaving, Tang Yin immediately realized that the opportunity had come. Without waiting for Zhu Zhuke's order, he shouted: "Brothers, follow me to hold the city gate!"
As he spoke, he took the lead and rushed towards the city gate. As soon as he moved, the hidden arrow personnel and thousands of Zhen soldiers headed by Gu Ji also followed him.
In a siege, the city gate is definitely the focus of the defenders' defense. However, the coalition forces attacking outside the city now do not carry city-breaking weapons such as rams. They rely entirely on people pushing and bumping, and relying solely on manpower to attack the fortress.
The city gates pose no threat.
It's just that the people inside the fortress didn't understand the situation outside. Seeing Tang Yin and other soldiers swarming to block the city gate, others couldn't say they were doing something wrong.
Although Zhu Zhuke was dissatisfied with Tang Yin, he had no time to argue with him now. He turned around and looked at his Leting Army and shouted: "Brothers, follow me up the city wall to resist the enemy!"
He gave an order and brought all the more than 5,000 Leting troops to the city wall, leaving Tang Yin and a thousand men to guard the city gate.
The city wall of Longding Fortress is double-layered, with a circular corridor more than three meters wide in the middle. At this time, the corridor was already filled with soldiers. Some were carrying logs and rocks to the outer wall, while others were waiting under the wall.
, waiting for the call of the Lord at any time.
Now of course Tang Yin can lead his men to rush directly to the outer city gate and open the city gate during the chaos, but there is a problem. When they open the outer city gate, the inner city gate is likely to be closed by Zhenjun, who will rush in by then.
All our own soldiers will be blocked in this circular corridor and become living targets.
Tang Yin had already thought of a countermeasure. After he entered the inner city gate, he did not go any further. He stayed where he was, shaking his head to the people on the left and right, and using his eyes to signal them to hurry up and open the outer city gate before the chaos.
Gu Ji nodded, waved his hand behind him, and led more than a hundred Zhen soldiers to squeeze towards the gate opening of the outer city gate.
However, this place has already been occupied by Zhen soldiers. How can people like Guji squeeze in? Seeing this, Guji is in great panic. The brothers are fighting bloody battles outside. If the city gate is opened a moment later, it is unknown how many more brothers will be killed or injured.
Woolen cloth!
He suddenly pulled out his sword, turned it into a spirit, and shouted to his left and right: "Brothers, follow me and kill!" As he spoke, the light of the spiritual sword in his hand suddenly appeared, and then,
The soul-chasing thorn is released.
At this time, the city gate cave was crowded with people, both inside and outside. The soul-chasing thorns suddenly attacked from behind. More than a dozen Zhen soldiers didn't even understand what was going on, and their bodies were penetrated by the spirit thorns. For a moment, they were miserable.
Screams were everywhere, and the dying wails continued.
Gu Ji gritted his teeth and executed a fatal blow on the Zhen soldiers in front of him. As the cold light flashed, several more people were stabbed to the ground by him in an instant. The Zhen soldiers who came with him were not idle either, raising their hands high.
The spear he hit was stabbing the crowd in front of him fiercely. For a moment, the outer city gate became a mess. Many Zhen soldiers couldn't figure out why one of their own people suddenly attacked them, and they shouted repeatedly: "Don't fight.
We are our own people! We are our own people.”
People's shouts are often only half of the shouts, and the rest are screams. The more than a hundred Zhen soldiers headed by Gu Ji kept their heads down and did not speak, but they kept holding the weapons in their hands and attacked the people in front like crazy.
crowd.
The soldiers stationed in the city gate were stunned by the sudden turn of events, and the soldiers whose vital points were attacked fell to the ground one after another. At this time, someone finally realized and screamed: "It's a spy! There are enemy troops.
A spy has sneaked in!"
As soon as they shouted, the Zhen army in the circular corridor was in chaos, and people gathered towards the city gate.
The Zhen soldiers in the city gate shouted spies, and the Zhen soldiers led by Gu Ji also shouted spies. Both sides had the same military uniforms and armor, and they both had Zheng Guo accents when they shouted. How could anyone else tell the authenticity.
The Zhenjun who gathered around couldn't figure out which side was the spy. They all stood on the same spot, not knowing which side to help.
Most of the Zhenjun who gathered in the city gate had been killed and injured by Guji and others. The surviving soldiers saw their brothers standing outside but did not come to rescue them. Their faces turned red with anxiety and they cried out heartbroken.
The ground shouted: "Hurry and help! The spies want to open the city gate."
"Don't listen to their nonsense!" Before the people could react, Guji immediately shouted: "They are the spies! They want to open the city gate and let the enemy troops into the city!"
"That's right! The people inside are spies!" Tang Yin and others standing in the inner city gate also shouted. One person said this, and the Zhenjun soldiers who didn't know what was going on might not believe it, but thousands of people said so.
, they can’t help but not believe it.
The deceived Zhenjun soldiers sided with Gu Ji, and together with them, they dealt a cruel blow to the Zhenjun in the outer city gate.
Poor these loyal soldiers, they had trouble explaining themselves in the chaos of the war. They did not die at the hands of the enemy, but they became the victims of their own people in a muddle-headed manner.
In just the blink of an eye, all the Zhen soldiers stationed in the outer city gate were killed. Looking around, there were corpses piled on top of each other on the ground, and scarlet blood slowly flowed out of the city gate.
After cleaning up all the Zhenjun here, Gu Ji sighed and said to the Zhenjun who came to help: "Everyone, hurry up and help on the city wall, we are guarding here!"
The Zhen army was not all fools. One of them, a captain, squeezed out from the crowd, looked Gu Ji up and down, and asked: "What is your name? Which army are you from?"
Guji was now only wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier. When he saw that the visitor was a captain, he pretended to be complimentary and said, "Master captain, my name is Guji. He came from Laoting City with General Zhu."
It's the Leting Army! The commander narrowed his eyes and rolled his eyes.
As soon as Leting's army arrived at the fortress, the coalition forces attacked. What was even more strange was that a large number of spies appeared in the fortress. This was really suspicious. He thought for a moment and asked: "Where is your general?"
Gu Ji pointed to his head and was about to speak. At this time, a Zhen soldier came up behind the captain and whispered: "Lord captain?"
"What's the matter?" The captain turned his head instinctively, but he didn't see clearly the person coming behind him. He only saw a cold light appearing in front of his eyes.
There was a thumping sound in his ear, and a ghastly steel knife was inserted straight into his throat, and the bloody tip of the knife came out with his strength.
The captain didn't even make a cry, his eyes were wide open, with an expression of disbelief on his face, but his body fell straight down.
"ah"
In full view of everyone, the captain was stabbed to death, and the surrounding soldiers all screamed.
The soldier who made the sneak attack quickly withdrew the steel knife, and then a cloud of black mist emerged from his body. The moment the swords, guns, swords and halberds around him attacked, the man disappeared out of thin air and disappeared.
Someone in the crowd yelled: "The assassin is a dark spiritual cultivator!"
"There! The assassin ran into the inner city!"
Hooray! As soon as they heard that the assassin was running towards the inner city, the Zhen soldiers rushed towards the inner city gate one after another.
As soon as they left, Gu Ji, who was in the outer city gate, secretly thought it was a good opportunity! He shouted to the left and right in a low voice: "Open the city gate quickly! Let the brothers enter the city!"
When the Zhen soldiers below heard this, more than ten people put down their weapons and worked together to remove the bolts on the city gate.
The city gate latch was made of pure copper and was extremely heavy. More than a dozen Zhenjun men tried their best to lift the door latch. Only a strange creaking sound was heard, and the door latch moved slowly under the combined efforts of everyone.
Hearing the sound of the city gate latch, whether it was the Zhenjun on the outer city wall, the Zhenjun on the circular corridor or the Zhenjun on the inner city wall, everyone was dumbfounded. It was only then that they realized that they had been fooled. The spies had not
He died, still in the city gate cave.
The Zhenjun on the outer city wall cannot attack the city gate. Even if they know that there are spies under their feet, there is nothing they can do. However, the Zhenjun on the inner city wall can see the outer city gate.
Hou Qiu, who was commanding the battle on the inner city wall, his eyes were red at this time, and he roared to the left and right: "Fire arrows! Shoot all the spies in the city gate to death!"
He gave the order, and the sound of bows firing on the inner city wall was heard. Immediately afterwards, countless arrows flew down from the city wall and penetrated into the outer city gate.
Gu Ji knew that this was the most critical moment, and even if someone blocked him, he still had to protect the brother who was moving the door latch.
He shouted: "No one is allowed to retreat! Stop the arrow!"
Even if he didn't say it, people wouldn't retreat, and the city gate was only such a big space, so they had nowhere to retreat if they wanted to. Arrows flew over, and the soldiers standing outside were the first to bear the brunt, and a series of arrows broke through the armor.
There was a sound of "push, plop, plop", and a row of soldiers outside were shot into hedgehogs. Their bodies were covered with white eagle feathers. The corpses knelt on the ground, unable to fall down.
This was just the beginning. More and denser arrows flew into the city gate from all directions like raindrops. The hundreds of soldiers gathered inside had nowhere to hide, and they were hit by arrows one after another, screaming.
Guji had already put on his spiritual armor at this time, holding a sword in one hand and the corpse of a Zhen soldier as a shield in the other. At the same time, he kept shouting to the left and right: "Use the corpse to block the arrows, don't carry it with force!"
Seeing helplessly that his own arrow array could not kill all the spies in the city gate in a short period of time, and the city gate was already being opened, cold sweat fell from Hou Qiu's forehead. He sent orders to close the inner city gate.
The spies must not take advantage of the situation again. If even the inner city gate is opened, the fortress will be completely destroyed.
Upon hearing his order, Wu Chao raised his sword eyebrows, screamed strangely, and rushed down the city wall with a group of Zhen soldiers. While running towards the inner city gate, he shouted to the Zhen soldiers in the city: "Hurry and close the inner city.
Door! Hurry!"
The Zhen soldiers did not dare to delay and came towards the inner city gate one after another. At this time, Tang Yin and his party were guarding inside and outside the inner city gate. Seeing a large number of Zhen soldiers coming, people subconsciously clenched their weapons and waited for Tang Yin to attack.
Give the order and fight to the death with the enemy.
