Chapter 494: Breaking Jiamengguan and the killer of the Taixi people
The night was pitch black.
Tang De crawled forward in the mud, his clothes and armor covered with dirt and dew.
The night attack army set off from the sheep intestine trail far away from Jiameng Pass when it was dark. After walking for half the night, they finally arrived at Jiameng Pass.
Hua Xun stepped on the mud and asked Tang De in front of him.
"Old Tang, how long do we have until we arrive? It will be dawn even later."
Tang De pointed at the darkness in the distance and said in a hoarse voice: "General, where is the outer wall of Jiameng Pass. Let's go around the outer wall and jump in from the hill on the south side."
"stop"
Hua Xun waved his hand, stopped the advancing army, and asked Tang De:
"Old Tang, are you sure you can enter the border by jumping in from there?"
"Of course I can. I, Tang De, have walked dozens of times."
Tang De patted his chest and promised.
In the dark night, Hua Xun's face changed several times, but after a moment he still asked: "But there is another way. We don't know the terrain and rush in there. If we fall into the enemy's trap, we will fall into it."
Tang De walked around in circles a few times, and finally thought of a way and said, "Then we can only climb in from here. This is the back wall of Guancheng, and there is a military camp dozens of steps ahead, but you will be discovered."
Hua Xun waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "We are just here for the Taixi Army. What are we afraid of? It is close to the military camp, but it is not easy to set up any traps. Come and prepare to build a ladder."
After giving the order, the guards behind rushed forward and quickly built a ladder that could quickly rush up to Guancheng using the branches of a nearby stone tree.
Hua Xun, escorted by several soldiers, climbed up to Guancheng and looked at the dark military camp, feeling a little confused.
"Is there an ambush? Otherwise, why can't you see any lights?"
Li Liang, the bodyguard next to him, muttered.
Hua Xun waved his hand: "Li Liang, take people down to see what's going on in this military camp. Be careful not to make any noise and alert the Taixi and barbarians."
On the other side, outside the west city gate, a group of barbarian elders looked at them with stern expressions.
"Will the Han army really attack the city tonight?"
The Great Elder Griya's face was calm and calm: "So what if we don't attack the city? We have already withdrawn from the military camp and are preparing to leave the city from the west city. Whether the Han army attacks the city or not, we have to leave."
Xiaolun Gongbu was covered in armor and smiled heartily: "Of course, the Han army will attack the city tonight. The day has finally come for us to return to our clan. We no longer have to work for these bastard Taixi people."
Saying this, Xiaolun Gongbu waved his hand: "My sons and warriors, the day has finally come for us to return to our clan and fight our way out of the West City..."
"Kill"
The cry of death suddenly rang out from Nancheng, and orange flames shot up into the sky, illuminating half of Guancheng in an instant.
Xiaolun Gongbu's raised hand was hanging in the air, and he glanced at Yesu Buze next to him in confusion. The Han army was attacking the city, and this grandson was hit by a crow's mouth again.
"Let's go, open the west gate and leave the city. Anyone who dares to stop us will be killed without mercy."
The small wheel of Gonbu took the lead to go to the west city, and now took advantage of the fact that the Taixi people were busy dealing with the Han army, so they hurriedly left.
In the Guancheng Governor's Mansion, Schloter was called up by the soldiers, his face looked tired.
"What happened? Why are there shouts of killing in Guancheng? Could it be that the barbarians have rebelled?"
"These ignorant white-eyed wolves are waiting for me to bring in the crossbows and massacre their clan."
Joseph came in from outside with a group of soldiers, his face ugly: "Sir, the Han army has entered the city, is Jiameng Pass finished?"
Schloter stood up immediately, with an angry look on his face: "You are talking nonsense. Guancheng is a natural barrier. How could the Han army just attack it if they want to? In order to break through Jiameng Pass, how many lives did the barbarians take?"
."
Joseph was too lazy to explain to Schloter and just said: "The Han army has entered the city. Please make a quick decision to avoid making mistakes."
Outside Guancheng, Su Lu stood in front of a team of trebuchets. Looking at the fire in Guancheng, he ordered: "Smash it, smash it against the city gate, and smash open the city gate."
"The flying bird takes off to assist the sergeants in Guancheng in cleaning up the Taixi people in the brigade."
The birds took off and soon flew over Jiameng Pass. After the trebuchet threw the first stone, the birds also began to spray arrows, and the wailing sound in the Guan City became louder.
More than a dozen trebuchets blasted at the city gate. Not long after, the gate building was smashed, and the vermilion gate was also smashed open from the middle by a large stone.
"kill"
Qian Buzhou unified the army and rushed out. The Han army rushed towards the breached Guancheng like a tide.
Ximen Yingyuan pulled out the short knife that had been slashed on a barbarian soldier and spat.
Outside the west gate, the barbarian army had already withdrawn. The barbarian soldiers behind them were like rabbits that had escaped from their restraints, running wildly, and the Han army was too late to catch up.
"Let's go back and kill all these Thais."
Yingyuan waved the steel knife, turned around and gave the order.
A lieutenant reminded him: "It is General Hua Xun's order to guard the west gate. We cannot leave our posts without authorization."
The scarlet color in Yingyuan's eyes receded. Looking at the shouts of death in the city, he ordered fiercely:
"Close the city gate, and I will catch this group of Westerners in a jar."
By daybreak, most of the fighting was finally over, but the fighting in the Governor's Mansion continued.
Most of the Taixi Infantry Army gathered here and relied on the terrain in the Dudu Mansion to resist step by step. Although the Taixi Infantry Army was slightly inferior in combat effectiveness, it also caused a lot of casualties to the Han Army.
Su Lu entered the city surrounded by generals and rode a flying horse to report.
"Commander Commander, the Taixi people resisted stubbornly and surrendered. They will not surrender until they see you."
Su Lu took the letter of surrender, unfolded it, read it, and casually asked Gao Dabao who sent the letter.
"Dabao, do you think we should surrender, or should we kill all these Thais?"
"Just kill them all"
Gao Dabao's face was filled with red light, and he said viciously: "Feiniao cooperates and kills all these Taixi people. Let's see what kind of ruin this group of grandsons has made to this place in Liaoxi."
Looking at the surrender letter, Su Lu frowned and handed it to Dong Ling next to him.
Dong Ling glanced twice, and his face immediately turned ugly, "The Taixi people have brought a weapon codenamed Qiangbao. I would like to see what kind of weapon the Taixi people think can kill an entire city."
s things."
Two more flying horses came, led by Ying Yuan, who was responsible for guarding the west city.
"Commander Commander, something bad has happened. Taixi soldiers have arrived outside the city, bringing with them a big door panel full of arrows."
Next to him, Dong Ling asked casually: "How big is the door panel?"
Yingyuan stretched out his hand and gestured: "It's very big, so big, from the south of the city to the north of the city."
Su Lu's expression changed. If the city was really as big as this one and could shoot through a tree ten feet tall, then it would not be impossible to destroy half of Jiameng Pass with one blow.
"Dabao, go and bring up the leaders of the Taixi people and ask them to surrender unconditionally, otherwise they will be killed without mercy."
Gao Dabao responded excitedly and turned around.
When Su Lu arrived at the West City, Joseph and Schlott were both kidnapped. They wanted to surrender honorably, but when birds came and arrows were flying, they could only surrender in humiliation.
After being brought to the top of the city, Schlott stood beside Su Lu. When he saw the powerful crossbows at the bottom of the city, Schlott felt bad.
"Don't fire the crossbow, don't fire the crossbow. I am Schlott, the commander of the expeditionary force stationed at Jiameng Pass. I have a father and brother serving under the Minister of War, and I have relatives serving under the Minister of Birds. Don't fire the crossbow."
Schloter was at the top of the city, shouting almost at the top of his lungs.
