After a while, all the soldiers in the trench climbed to the ground.
Look forward in the direction pointed by the drinking man.
In normal times, if so many people suddenly appeared walking together, and most of them were young people, these garrison soldiers would definitely be more vigilant and question them.
But now, they are in urgent need of labor.
Looking at Xiao Chen and the group of people dressed in common people's clothes, they all had joy in their eyes.
I feel a little disgusted because there aren't enough people here.
"You guys, come here and work for me." The drinking man pointed at Xiao Chen from afar.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen turned around and tapped the captains behind him twice.
"Brothers, prepare to take action." After a shout, everyone rushed towards the trench.
The trench has been dug very wide and can accommodate about a dozen people walking side by side.
The soldiers outside the trench had climbed up the earth wall, holding spears in their hands and pointing bows and arrows at Xiao Chen and others, with greed in their eyes.
What they are waiting for is this free labor.
Although these people look shabby, they are strong and energetic, and they must have a strong physique.
I don't know how these people got here.
But that's okay.
As long as you capture this group of people and let them work for you, then this mission will be completed.
While thinking about it, a lewd smile appeared on the faces of this group of soldiers.
Xiao Chen quickly climbed up the earth wall, and the captains also rushed up.
You are really blind. Even if you don't recognize the bright blazing guns on our waists, can't you see this accompanying knife?
Is it possible that as long as he wears common people's clothes, he is a master who can be oppressed by you?
But at this time, Xiao Chen didn't care where the other person's attention was. As long as he could get close easily, nothing else mattered.
He grabbed the man who was drinking and punched him in the head.
Without even looking at the opponent's outcome, he immediately turned around, jumped up with both feet on the ground, and kicked out two flying kicks, knocking over three or four soldiers.
"Ah." The soldier screamed and fell into the mud.
Xiao Chen took advantage of the victory to pursue and pounced directly on him.
The Dongchang captains behind him had already unsheathed their swords at their waists, and they rushed over to kill them under the horrified eyes of the soldiers.
A sudden attack like a violent storm left the garrison soldiers without even a chance to shout for help. They retreated steadily and soon all of them were lying on the ground.
"Throw all the corpses into the trench." Xiao Chen shouted, grabbed the two corpses, and took the lead in throwing them into the trench.
Soon, corpses piled up in the trench.
Behind the low wall outside, it was extremely clean, as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Chen looked at a captain next to him: "Go, notify the army, come over and hide thousands of people in this trench."
"Yes." The captain responded and left.
Leaving a dozen people here to greet them, Xiao Chen led his team and headed towards the east city gate again.
By the time they circled the city and cleared out all the garrison troops outside the city gates, night had completely fallen.
After sending someone to notify the army, Xiao Chen and other captains sat exhausted on the low wall beside the trench and looked at the towering black city wall in the distance.
This Shimajiri Osato Castle is twice the size of Kushikawa Castle. Just running around it in such a circle would make most people exhausted.
What's more, everyone not only has to circle around, but also find ways to get close to the garrison, and eliminate them one by one without disturbing the garrison in the city.
After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Xiao Chen simply raised his legs and lay down on the low wall.
"Have a good rest for a while. When the army attacks, we will take advantage of the chaos to enter the city and capture Shannan Wang Tadu alive to avenge those brothers who died in our Dongchang." Xiao Chen said.
It was already dark, and the moonlight was shining down, covering the entire city.
The Ming army, under the cover of night, began to encircle Shimajiri Osato Castle.
Lying on the low wall, looking at the few twinkling stars in the sky, Xiao Chen thought of Duan Tianming.
The good brother who had been with him through life and death was killed by the Japanese pirates in order to save his own life.
And tonight is the time when the real culprit will be buried with Duan Tianming.
Xiao Chen's right hand was tightly clenched into a fist.
An hour later, the encirclement of the army had been completely formed.
The archers at the front each had dozens of gunpowder arrows in their quivers.
One by one, they put their arrows on their strong bows and waited quietly for the order to fire.
Pioneer officer Tang Xing came to Xiao Chen and said: "After a busy day, go to the back and have a good rest. Leave the siege to us."
Xiao Chen shook his head: "When the army attacks, Shannan King will definitely try his best to escape. I want to take advantage of the chaos to enter the city and capture Shannan King Talu alive."
"You can't do it." Tang Xing hurriedly stopped him, "It's not like you don't know the power of these gunpowder arrows. It's a fool's errand. Tens of thousands of people are shooting arrows at the same time. These arrows don't have eyes, so they can't tell the difference between good guys and bad guys."
"However, if he is allowed to escape, I will not be able to give an explanation to Commander Duan."
Hearing Xiao Chen mention Duan Tianming, Tang was excited about the words on his lips and swallowed them hard.
He doesn't know how important Duan Tianming is in Xiao Chen's mind.
But Xiao Chen was willing to risk his life and enter the city to capture Ta Lu alive to avenge Duan Tian. This feeling must not be shallow.
However, if he was just allowed to enter Dali City where gunpowder and arrows were everywhere, what would happen if something happened?
As if he saw Tang Xing's dilemma, Xiao Chen stood up with a smile.
"This Shimajiri-Osato Castle is much larger than Gushikawa Castle. The royal palace in the center of the city is out of reach of arrows. Don't worry, Mr. Tang, I will bring the head of Shannan King Talu out to see His Highness the Crown Prince."
Shaking his head helplessly, Tang Xing said: "Be more careful."
While he was talking, a gunpowder arrow roared towards the city wall, making a huge explosion on the city wall and creating a bright red "cloud".
Tang Xing knew that this was Wang Zheng’s signal for the army’s precision work.
He straightened up suddenly and shouted loudly to the archers who had already prepared in front of him: "Target, Shimajiri Osato Castle. Shoot the arrow."
All of a sudden, the fire folds were unscrewed one by one.
Gunpowder arrows were ignited.
"Creak."
A strong bow was drawn.
With the sound of "bang bang bang" the bowstring was being loosened, countless gunpowder arrows with green smoke and flames at their tails roared and flew overwhelmingly towards the garrison camp on the city wall.
Continuous huge explosions came from the city walls.
Groups of huge fires connected together, instantly turning the city wall into a sea of fire.
The blazing flames made the city wall look like daylight.
One of the defenders was blown away, and some of them were blown to pieces before they even had time to scream.
Some soldiers had no time to escape and were engulfed by the tongues of fire. With flames all over their bodies, they danced like burning men and let out shrill wails. They moved a few feet away and slowly fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the flames continued to spread, and soon the city walls were burned red. Countless people screamed in pain and struggled in the sea of fire.
"Ah. Help, help."
"Help."
For a time, cries, begging for mercy and screams filled the sky.
There was chaos on the city wall, and the crowd was panicking and running towards the stairs leading into the city.
However, how could the army give them a chance?
There was another sound of bows and arrows being drawn, and the second round of gunpowder arrows flew toward the city wall overwhelmingly.
Before the gunpowder arrows could fall, Tang Xing's voice rang in his ears.
"Cross the wall and shoot arrows into the city."
The archer quickly took out arrows from his quiver and put them on his bow.
Another round of attacks was brewing successfully.
For a moment, the city turned into a sea of fire amid the explosion.
Xiao Chen nodded to the hundred or so divine machine captains beside him: "After entering the city, walk close to the inside of the city wall and be careful to avoid arrows and flames."
"Yeah." Everyone responded.
For Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen climbed up the two-foot-high city wall with just a single jump.
The slightly less skilled Captain Shenji, using both his hands and feet, was like an ape and stood on the top of the city wall in the blink of an eye.
After roughly figuring out the direction, Xiao Chen led everyone towards the Shannan King's Palace in the center of the city.
