The night is dark and the wind is high, which is a good time for a sneak attack.
Zhongliang led five hundred elites without any hesitation, and one by one got into the tunnel that could only allow two people to pass at the same time.
After a while, they arrived at the exit of the well in Jincheng. Zhongliang, who had had exploration experience before, calmly directed the soldiers behind him to climb out of the well one by one, watching carefully.
Perhaps because of the threat of trebuchets, the few households that were still in this area have also been evacuated, and it was eerily quiet at this time.
"Sir, the brothers have gathered together, are we ready to set off?" A young man came over quietly and asked in a low voice to Zhongliang.
"Well, brothers, please be alert. We have only one purpose, which is to open the city gate at all costs and welcome the general's army into the city. Do you understand?!" Zhongliang said in a deep voice with a sinister tone.
"Understood!" Everyone nodded at the same time.
"Okay, let's go!" He waved his hand and gave the order. Zhongliang took the lead and led everyone, ducking down and sneaking cautiously towards the city gate.
Due to the frequent bombardment of trebuchets, the people on this road have retreated. The entire road can be said to be in a deserted state. Even the street lights that should have been on the road have been extinguished.
Under the dark night sky, there was no sound except the slight breathing and footsteps of the Zhongliang and the five hundred soldiers.
"We're here!" Looking at the brightly lit city gate in front of him from afar, Zhongliang thought to himself, and immediately waved his hand behind him, and the five hundred soldiers quickly dispersed and lurked.
There were not many guards at the city gate. At first glance, they only looked like seventy or eighty people. And because the city tower was always under the threat of trebuchets, there were no defenders except the necessary sentries.
It seemed that the overall defense was extremely lax, but Zhongliang took a quick look and immediately discovered something strange. On both sides of the city gate, there were two concave campsites built with cowhide and other materials.
"It seems that Cheng Gongying has placed all the soldiers and horses in this section. Not only can he stagger the stone attack, but if we attack from here, the soldiers inside can also go to the city to defend as soon as possible! The speed is going to be faster!" he thought silently in his heart.
, Zhongliang waved to the crowd behind him
The man whispered, "Look, most of the soldiers and horses defending here should be in the camps covered by cowhide on both sides. So if we want to open the city gate, there is only one word, that is, fast, too fast for them to react."
, do you understand?"
"Yeah!" Everyone nodded.
Nodding, Zhongliang whispered to the two big men behind him who were close to him, "Watch my movements later, we will greet them with a wave of arrows first, and then I will lead a hundred brothers to open the city gate directly.
Chang Wei, Xiaoer, you two each take two hundred brothers and set fire to the camps on both sides respectively, just to disturb and temporarily delay their footsteps!"
"No!" Chang Wei and Xiao Er were two burly men. When they heard the order, a cold light flashed in their eyes and they nodded fiercely.
"Everyone, remember, we have only one mission, which is to open the city gate and welcome the general's army into the city. As long as the general enters the city, our mission will be accomplished!"
"Okay, get ready!" After the arrangements were completed, Zhongliang took the lead and took out a small bow from his back, opened the bow and aimed an arrow, and everyone followed.
"put!"
Give an order.
In the darkness, five hundred arrows streaked through the void like falling rain, flashing with cold light and stabbing hard at the seventy or eighty soldiers and horses guarding the city gate.
"Puff~"
The arrow penetrated the body, and countless blood flowers bloomed. Before most of the seventy or eighty defenders could react, they were already shot into sieves by the arrow rain coming from the darkness behind them, and fell to the ground helplessly.
By the passage of vitality from the body.
"kill!"
When the arrow was done, Zhongliang didn't hesitate at all. With a wave of his hand, he threw away the short bow in his hand, pulled out the sword from his waist, roared, and rushed forward quickly.
"Enemy attack~"
Although there were many arrows, several soldiers in the city gate survived after all. Seeing that the brothers who were alive and kicking in front of them turned into corpses in an instant, their eyes instantly turned red, and they roared, regardless of the number of people.
Duoduo bravely faced him with his gun drawn.
Suddenly, there were killing sounds, swords and guns clashing, and the quiet night sky was instantly shattered.
"Die! Die! Die!"
Continuous roars rang out. Zhongliang took the lead, leading hundreds of soldiers, and rushed to the city gate. With a sound like thunder, he slashed down one after another with his swords. In the blink of an eye, he chopped down the only remaining defenders and rushed into the city.
In the doorway.
"Open the city gate quickly!"
Without hesitation, Zhongliang led everyone to quickly move the crossbar behind the city gate, and worked together to push the Jincheng gate open as quickly as possible.
At this time, the sudden change at the city gate had already alerted the sentries on the city gate and the defenders in the cowhide camps on both sides of the city gate. Captain Jincheng, who had been prepared for it, quickly got up and gathered troops to prepare for support, but it was already too late.
, when Chang Wei and Xiaoer took action in Zhongliang, they had already started their arson plan with two hundred soldiers each.
The camp covered by cowhide was ignited by raging fire in the blink of an eye. Under the light of the fire, countless guards fled in panic and howled.
"It's done, the second and third sons, kill them with me!"
After going back and forth, Meng Tian, who had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time, had already led his troops and rushed forward. He looked at the wide open city gate and said with a heroic smile.
He nodded towards the center beam at the city gate and shouted, "Well done!"
He rushed in at the lead. The first time he entered the city, Meng Tian saw the cowhide camps on both sides of the city gate that were already burning with flames, as well as the Jincheng defenders running in panic. He laughed loudly and shouted: "
Brothers, kill Sui and capture Cheng Gongying alive!"
He rode his horse and charged towards the city boldly.
"Not good!" After days of hard work, Cheng Gongying fell asleep unknowingly in the study. When he was sleeping deeply, he was awakened by the shocking commotion outside. His mind turned and he immediately understood.
In a panic, he rushed out and met the commander of the personal guards who came to see him.
"The military advisor is not good. A group of soldiers and horses appeared from nowhere in the city and opened the city gate. At this time, Meng Tian's army had entered the city. Wang Xiaowei and others had led their troops to stop it, but at this time, the city was full of smoke.
In the dark night, we don’t know how many people from the other side have come in. They are all there, and the brothers can’t fight back at all!” The guard commander quickly told Cheng Gongying everything he knew.
While the commander of the personal guards was speaking, Cheng Gongying had already heard the voice of "Capture Cheng Gongying alive" coming from afar, and his mind started to spin rapidly. However, he himself was not known for his quick wit, and he could not think of a clever solution for a while.
