The thin spy quietly approached the napping county guard. Without the other party noticing, he covered the other person's mouth with one hand, held a dagger in the other hand, and stabbed the other person in the heart.
The guard's eyes widened suddenly and he wanted to shout, but he couldn't shout a word. His body only twitched violently twice, and then there was no movement.
When the other person was completely dead, the thin spy slowly lowered his hand covering the other person's mouth and at the same time carefully observed the movements around him.
Soon, Yao Qi, Long Yuan and others followed the rope and climbed to the top of the city. Yao Qi pointed at Long Yuan, Long Zhun and Long Bo and motioned for them to follow him. Then, he slowly walked towards the city.
The gatehouse is approaching.
In the city gate tower, there were more than a dozen county soldiers, all of whom, without exception, were sitting inside and taking a nap. Yao Qi looked over and nodded to Long Yuan and the three people on his left and right.
The four of them rushed into the city gate tower one after another, making almost no sound, and slit the throats of all the dozens of sleeping county soldiers.
Then, Yao Qi led others to clear out the guards on the wall on the other side of the city gate tower.
Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Bo are highly skilled and proficient in stealth and assassination. Those elite spies under Yao Qi are also veterans in this field.
These dozens of people were like ghostly shadows on the top of the city, sometimes in the light, sometimes in the dark, their bodies appearing and disappearing. Every time they appeared, a guard was killed by them quietly. In the end
The body was dragged into the shadows.
Feeling that the guards on the left and right sides of the city gate tower were almost cleared, Yao Qi led everyone to carefully descend from the city wall and enter the city.
There were only two guards guarding the entrance to the city gate. These two people were not taking a nap. They were standing there listlessly, talking every sentence.
Suddenly, there was a whooshing sound, and a soldier who was talking suddenly stopped speaking. He leaned on the city wall and slowly slid to the ground.
The companion on the other side was startled, turned his head and looked around, his face suddenly changed. He saw shockingly a crossbow arrow stuck in his companion's mouth, with most of the arrow body not inserted, leaving only a small bit of the arrow tail exposed.
He opened his mouth wide and was about to call out. Whoosh, another crossbow arrow flew over and hit him in the temple. Ding! The crossbow arrow penetrated the helmet and penetrated deeply into his head. The soldier fell straight on his back.
His body leaned on the city wall, and like his companions, he slowly slid to the ground.
Silence! It was quiet near the city gate. After a few minutes, black shadows flashed out from the darkness. They approached the two soldiers who had been shot and dragged their bodies away from the city gate.
.
Yao Qi walked into the city gate cave and looked at the gate bolts on the city gate. He motioned to the left and right. Several men in black came forward and they worked together to move the gate bolts and open them little by little.
Move it down and put it aside.
Then, the men in black exerted all their strength and slowly opened the two city gates.
Creaking——
They opened the city gate very slowly, and the gate only made a slight sound.
When the city gate opened a gap, a man in black took the lead and got out sideways. He took out the torch, lit the torch, stood in front of the city gate, and shook the torch widely.
Liu Xiu and others, who were one mile away, could not clearly see the city wall of Kunyang, let alone whether the city gate of Kunyang was open, but they could clearly see the small light spot swaying back and forth in the dark night.
It’s done! Seeing that small spot of light, Liu Xiu, who was half-kneeling on the ground, immediately stood up and said, “Send the order to the whole army to rush into Kunyang!”
After the general gave the order, the three thousand cavalrymen who were half-kneeling on the ground with their horses stood up in unison. People got on their horses one after another, picked up their spears, and followed Liu Xiu, who was leading the charge, to rush towards Kunyang City.
Under normal circumstances, the sudden advance of three thousand cavalry would make a lot of noise. However, because the soles of the horses' feet were wrapped in advance, they did not make too much noise. However, if someone was nearby, they could clearly feel the ground shaking.
At this time, Yao Qi and others had fully opened the city gate and stood in the shadows on both sides of the city gate, waiting for their army to enter the city. At this moment, a ten-man patrol came over from the city.
.
These patrols did not see Yao Qi and others in the shadows for the first time, but saw the open city gate first.
The patrolman didn't react for a while. He walked towards the city gate curiously and muttered in confusion: "Who would leave the city so late?"
Before they could even get close, they heard whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, and more than twenty crossbow arrows suddenly shot out from the shadows on both sides of the city gate.
The seven or eight soldiers walking in front were shot to the ground by crossbow arrows one after another without even seeing clearly what was going on.
The two soldiers behind were shocked and realized that something was wrong. They turned around and ran away, shouting at the same time: "Enemy! An enemy has sneaked into the city——"
While shouting, another soldier fell to the ground, with three crossbow arrows nailed to his back.
The remaining soldier screamed desperately as he ran. He only ran two or three steps more than his companions. His screams suddenly stopped and he rushed to the ground.
There was such a loud noise in the middle of the night, which still alerted the defenders on the East City side.
The number of Dongcheng garrison was not large, less than 300 people. When they heard the shouting outside, people woke up from their sleep one after another.
Some people slept in a daze and had no idea what was going on. Some people realized that something was wrong and hurriedly got up from their beds, grabbed their weapons, and hurried out of the barracks.
When they saw about ten soldiers falling down not far from the city gate, with crossbow arrows stuck in their bodies, everyone was shocked. Some people screamed: "No, there is an enemy attack. Close the city gate quickly."
!”
While they were talking, people ran towards the city gate like a swarm, entered the city gate, and were about to work together to close the open city gate, but it was already too late.
A war horse rushed in from outside the city gate and hit a soldier firmly.
The man screamed and his whole body was knocked out. Before the other soldiers could recover, war horses rushed into the city gate one after another.
The soldiers who were knocked over fell to pieces. Before the people could get up from the ground, the war horses trampled over them mercilessly.
When the soldiers behind saw this, they were so frightened that they turned around and ran towards the city with screams. However, their two legs could not be faster than the four legs of the war horse.
Puff puff--
There was a muffled sound of spears piercing people's bodies. The county soldiers who fled into the city were pierced by spears one after another and nailed to the ground.
Only a few soldiers were killed. Most of the county soldiers were trampled to death by war horses.
According to the mission assigned by Liu Xiu in advance, Ma Wu, Feng Yi, and Gai Yan led their troops and divided them into three groups to attack the Xicheng, Nancheng and Beicheng of Kunyang.
Liu Xiuze led four hundred cavalry, first wiping out the remnants of the county soldiers on the east side of the city, and then went straight to the county government in the center of Kunyang.
By the time Liu Xiu and his men rushed to the county government, the entire Kunyang City was in chaos. Fierce fighting was going on in the West City, South City, and North City, with loud voices and shouts of killing.
There are a lot of guards here in the county, including county soldiers and county government officials. Taken together, there are about six to seven hundred people.
The guards of six or seven hundred people had all retreated into the county palace. Many archers climbed up the courtyard wall and kept moving out of the rooms. For a while, Liu Xiu's cavalry was really unable to charge forward.
Before Liu Xiu could think of a way to defeat the enemy, Jia Fu said: "Lord, I'm going!" As he spoke, he jumped off his horse, dragged the painting pole and the square halberd, and rushed straight to the main gate of the county government.
Seeing an enemy soldier running towards him, the archers on the wall fired arrows one after another. Jia Fu swung his halberd and heard several jingling sounds, and several arrows shot at him were knocked to the ground.
But Jia Fu's speed did not slow down and he continued to rush forward.
He blocked two rounds of arrows from the opponent, who had already rushed to the gate of the county government. Jia Fu gave a shout, picked up the square halberd with a painting stick, exerted all his strength, and smashed the halberd down.
The square halberd with a painting pole hit the door of the mansion, and a loud cracking sound was heard in the ear. The halberd opened a large gap of more than one meter in the door, and the door bolt inside also shortened in response to the sound.
I heard screams of exclamation from inside the door.
Jia Fu held a halberd in one hand, kicked sideways, and kicked the door hard. Boom! There was another loud noise, and a door was kicked open by Jia Fu. There was a crash inside the door, and a crowd of county soldiers fell down.
.
As the palace opened, Jia Fu rushed in with his halberd. At the same time, the halberd thrust forward and hit a soldier in the chest.
Jia Fu used his arms hard and lifted the soldier to the side. He lifted the soldier into the air and hit the crowd beside him. He fell down with a roar.
Jia Fu, who entered the county government, was really like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. The surrounding county soldiers and government officials did not fall to the ground one by one, but were chopped down by halberds in groups.
The archers standing on the courtyard wall wanted to turn around and continue shooting arrows at Jia Fu, but at this time, the crossbow arrows flying from outside had already shot them down one after another.
Without the threat of archers, Jia Fu could let go of his hands and feet without any distractions. He rushed directly into the vestibule of the county government and broke into the lobby of the county government alone with a halberd.
In the lobby of the county government, there were County Magistrate Li Jin, as well as several clerks and guards. Seeing a man covered in blood rushing in from outside, several guards yelled and rushed forward with swords.
Jia Fu raised his halberd and swept it horizontally. Two guards narrowly dodged and the other two guards were swept away by the sharp edge of the halberd.
The lower bodies of the two of them were still standing on the same spot, while the parts above the waist flew out sideways, drawing a long blood line in the air.
This situation frightened the county magistrate Li Jin so much that the hairs on his body stood up and his scalp almost exploded. A clerk braved the situation and stood in front of Li Jin, shouting at Jia Fu: "Evil guy...
"
As soon as he finished speaking, the halberd was already pierced through his chest. The officer's mouth was opened so wide that he couldn't scream, and only large mouthfuls of blood came back from his throat.
Jia Fu held the halberd pole and raised it to the side. The corpse hanging on the halberd flew sideways. He stepped forward, walked up to Li Jin, grabbed his collar, lifted it up, and asked
: "Who are you? Tell me your name!"
Li Jin was so frightened that he trembled into a ball and stammered: "I...I am the magistrate of Kunyang County, Li...Li Jin!"
"I've found you!" Jia Fu grabbed Li Jin's collar and lifted it up first, then down again. With a pop, Li Jin was thrown to the ground by him, and all the bones in his body seemed to be falling apart.
of.
The other two guards roared angrily and charged forward again, one on the left and the other on the right, stabbing Jia Fu's neck with their two long swords.
Jia Fu swept forward with a halberd, knocking one of the guards away with his sword, and then swayed his body to the side to get out of the way of another long sword.
Before the opponent could sheath his sword and attack again, he punched the opponent in the face.
