Where the firelight does not reach, the darkness appears even darker.
Some men in bunter uniforms stood up in the darkness with their waists hunched over.
They are not battle-hardened soldiers, but the private salt dealers Shen Kun mentioned.
"I'll repeat it again."
The leader of the man was as dark-skinned and as strong as a giant leopard. His voice was deep and powerful, "As soon as we rush out, although the Northern Wei barbarians here will be in chaos, we don't need to kill more of these Northern Wei barbarians. We just need to Rush to the south gate. We just want to let people know that there is such a thing."
It is much easier to cover up the killing suddenly and rush to the city gate in the chaos than to strangle these Northern Wei troops outside the city. However, everyone knows that Zhongli City is like an urn at this time. It may be easier to rush in. If you want to If you leave again, it won't be that simple.
Thinking of this, the hands of these men who had decided to devote their lives to this city were still sweating unconsciously.
Sweat soaked the cloth wrapped around the handles of their swords or swords, but this anxious and uneasy atmosphere did not last long. When the Wei troops facing the city gate fired two rounds of arrows, the infantry began When charging, the dark-skinned man in the lead let out a sharp roar and charged forward like a leopard.
Directly above the south gate tower of Zhongli City, a thin general wearing leather armor did not move a step during the two rounds of arrows. He was Li Wenzhao, who was also a member of Lan Huaigong. Those who were hanged on the water on the north wall The generals above are all his colleagues for many years, but he is also one of the masterminds of the rebellion led by Wang Chaozong tonight.
He was not even as well-informed as Wei Guanxing and others. He did not know that the northern frontier army was coming to the rescue at this time. Wei Rui, the general of the Mingwei frontier army, but he was sure that as a general of the Southern Dynasty, he would never be afraid to abscond and give up at this time. The common sergeant here and this city.
Iron-bloodedness and cruelty are the qualities that must be possessed in such extreme moments.
These private salt dealers had quietly passed on the news before, and he was quietly waiting for the appearance of these people.
There were originally more than 300 private salt dealers who rushed out of the darkness, but during the rapid running, the number became less than 300.
It was not because of the attrition caused by casualties, but because some people slowed down unconsciously, as if being swallowed by darkness.
But the escape of these people did not affect the nearly three hundred Southern Dynasty men who were rushing forward. Their scorching eyes were always fixed on the front, like cheetahs hunting for prey. In their eyes, those Wei troops who should be ten times their number were Just a tired antelope.
"There's an ambush!"
When these people rushed to the Wei army less than a hundred steps away, the Wei army finally discovered their presence and fell into panic instantly.
This Wei army also did not belong to Wang Yuanying's elite Bone Army of Zhongshan. Before the arrival of the 7,000 Wei army on the other side of the river, they had been entangled with the Southern Dynasty army in Zhongli City for more than ten days. Although both sides suffered little casualties, they were a powerful force. The division was extremely tired, and at this time, the shield sergeants were all at the front, and those behind the formation were all archers.
This group of private salt dealers rushed in fiercely, and several practitioners opened the way at the front. They were like chopping melons and vegetables. However, according to the previous agreement, these private salt dealers were not willing to fight and charged straight into the formation. , in the blink of an eye, it was like a sharp knife that cut through most of the Northern Wei army.
"put!"
Li Wenzhao squinted his eyes slightly, and even his gaze seemed to be frozen without blinking. However, he kept clasping the five fingers of one hand in the palm of his hand, constantly calculating the distance between the private salt dealers and the frontier Wei army and the city wall. At this time,
He finally issued a military order.
A group of archers who had been preparing for a long time immediately fired fiercely!
Although there were only more than a hundred archers, these southern archers did not cherish the arrows in their hands at this time. They only focused on pulling the strings frantically and pouring out the arrows in the quiver as fast as possible.
It was just the crazy shooting of more than a hundred archers that actually produced the effect that hundreds of archers could achieve. The dense rain of arrows fell in front of these private salt dealers with a terrifying roar, quickly helping them.
They cleared a bloody path.
"receive!"
He just took a deep breath, and when he slowly exhaled, Li Wenzhao stretched out his hand upwards, loosened his clenched fist, and stood upright with one palm.
All the archers who were shooting crazily stopped, breathing heavily. In just a moment, some of them had bloody wounds on their fingers, and most of the arrows in their quivers had been emptied.
"Open the door!"
Without any hesitation, Li Wenzhao waved his hand downwards and issued another military order.
Amidst the unique vibrating sound of the Pansuo, looking at the slowly falling city gate, the already chaotic Wei army suddenly issued several military orders.
The nearly one hundred heavily armored sergeants at the forefront of this Wei army no longer cared about the private salt dealers behind them and quickly rushed towards the city gate.
However, when the city gate fell, there was a roar inside, which made the heavy bodies of these heavily armored soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty freeze.
A roar was followed by another roar.
Cold metallic light shines from the city gate hole.
When the third roar sounded, these heavily armored sergeants of the Northern Wei Dynasty all unconsciously took a step back in shock.
Three True Essence heavy armors shining with dazzling brilliance walked in the front, and the roaring sound was the sound of their footsteps hitting the ground. Behind them, there were several rows of Southern Dynasty heavy armors holding giant shields and long swords.
sergeant.
Every time these three True Essence heavy armors stepped on the ground, the long swords in their hands all struck the giant shield.
The huge sound and extremely cold momentum made the fighting spirit of these heavy armors of the Northern Wei Dynasty disappear like ice and snow.
When these heavy-armored sergeants of the Northern Wei Dynasty hesitated to move forward, the private salt dealers had already rushed out of the formation. Amidst the roars, these private salt dealers did not fight with these heavy-armored sergeants at all, and directly bypassed their flanks.
The three Zhenyuan heavy armors in Zhongli City and the heavy armored sergeants at the rear still marched forward together. Step by step, they pushed towards the somewhat scattered Northern Wei army in front.
Expanding iron wall.
Most of the private salt dealers were covered in sweat and plasma. When they rubbed their eyes and looked back, they couldn't believe that they could really charge through such a large army.
"Where's Dingchang?"
Suddenly more than ten people shouted out at the same time.
Ding Chang was the man who looked like a black panther and was the first to kill them. He was the leader of these private salt dealers and the one with the highest cultivation among the practitioners.
"There!"
Someone on the city wall shouted first.
Li Wenzhao has been standing like a straight javelin. His eyesight is much stronger than that of ordinary sergeants. The moment someone shouted, he had already seen Ding Chang's figure. His body was originally motionless and cold as a rock.
Suddenly it started to tremble.
Less than fifty steps behind the heavily armored sergeants of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Ding Chang was half kneeling on the ground with his left leg bent.
The left leg of this practitioner who was as agile as a leopard must have been broken. At this time, soldiers from the Northern Wei Dynasty kept coming to cover him up, making it impossible for him to stand up with the sword in his hand.
Although the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty was in chaos for a while, there must be practitioners among them. It was impossible for those practitioners to retain all the salt traders, but they managed to retain the leaders of these people.
Seeing Ding Chang who was destined to be trapped in the formation, Li Wenzhao just spent a moment thinking about it. In the next moment, he let out a sharp roar and flew directly from the city gate tower!
"kill!"
While his body was still in the air, he stretched out his hand toward the three Zhenyuan heavy armors below the city gate and issued a military order.
