Chapter 69: Captives

The soldiers maintained a high degree of vigilance and waited at their respective posts with bated breath for the enemy to attack. However, they never saw any movement outside the city. The soldiers were also very puzzled. They didn't know where the enemy would come from for a sneak attack. Could it be?

Falling from the sky?

Around this time, the dozen or so Tufan-like soldiers surrounding the city tower suddenly took action. They all knelt down and stared at the two places circled by Tianci.

I saw the soil in the circle suddenly vibrated, and then the ground loosened, and a small hole appeared. As the soil fell downwards, the hole became larger and larger, and then a pickaxe tip protruded from the hole.

Digging in the soil.

It turned out that these were two very long tunnels dug from outside the city by the Tufan soldiers in order to launch a sneak attack from inside the city. Today they were finally dug inside the city. As early as ten days ago, Tianci heard a strange sound, and after he carefully distinguished it

, discovered that this was the enemy's plan to dig a hole outside the city, and wanted to quietly sneak the surprise troops into the city, and then cooperate inside and outside to seize the city in one fell swoop.

After Tianci discovered this situation, he paid attention to the enemy's movements every day and calculated that the tunnel would be dug out tonight and the siege operation would also take place tonight. Therefore, he had already made preparations and arranged in advance to disrupt the enemy's attack and capture the enemy at the same time.

Everything is ready for the military capture operation tonight, just waiting for the enemy to take the bait.

Finally, the hole got bigger and bigger, and when it was the size of a pot, he poked his head out of the hole. Before the man could see the situation clearly, two men who looked like native soldiers who were ambushing him at the hole slipped him out.

Then several people gagged him, tied him up, and pulled him down.

The other two soldiers stepped forward to further enlarge the hole, and then shouted inside in Tufan language. After a while, another Tufan soldier came out of the hole. At this time, the Tufan soldier pretending to be outside the cave asked him to stay where he was.

After a while, when the next person came out, the disguised Tufan soldier motioned for them to follow him and walked into the city.

The Tufan soldiers who came out of the cave one after another lined up with the people in front and quietly walked into the city. The same was true for the other entrance of the cave.

After almost 120 or 30 people emerged from each of the two cave entrances, no one came out again. These more than 200 people followed the Tufan soldiers leading the team and walked into the city. After they left, about 20 people

Dafeng soldiers came forward, backfilled the two holes with earth and rocks, and sealed them.

The two "Tufan" soldiers who led the way led a group of Tufan soldiers to the repaired wooden fence in the cavalry camp, and signaled everyone to quietly enter and wait in ambush. Then the two quietly exited and

The wooden gate is closed and locked.

As soon as the wooden fence door was closed, more than 300 Dafeng soldiers rushed out from both sides and surrounded the wooden fence. One hundred of the archers ignited their arrows and pointed them directly at the surrounded Tufan soldiers.

At this time, several soldiers shouted to the besieged Tufan soldiers in the Central Plains and Tufan languages: "You have been surrounded. Do not resist, otherwise our army will fire a volley of rockets, and you will all be burdened with fuel, flint, and fire."

, it will be burned to ashes within a short time after being ignited." He also said: "Please come out immediately to the person in charge of leading the team to make a complaint. The commander-in-chief of our army is kind and generous and can give you a way out as appropriate."

At this time, there was a commotion in the circle. The Tufan soldiers who had entered the city from the cave realized that they had been captured. In addition to the short knives for self-defense, they were full of flint, sulfur and other things that were ready to set fire to the city. Now they were surrounded

In the circle, a spark can kill them without a burial place. Faced with this situation, everyone had to give up resistance and surrender obediently.

After a while, several soldiers escorted the two leaders of the Tufan soldiers who had sneaked into the city to Tianci, and handed over a signal arrow collected from them to Tianci. After a brief inquiry, Tianci asked someone to escort the two men.

Went down.

"Come here, give me the order, open the door immediately and light the fire!" Tianci ordered.

After a while, the north city gate was opened, and the fifteen fires above and below the city tower were all lit. Suddenly, raging fires were ablaze in the city, reflecting the night sky red.

At this time, Tianci lit the signal arrow in his hand and shot it into the sky. The arrow flew into the sky, and a moment later, a firework bloomed in the night sky.

Immediately, outside the city that had been silent just now, a dark crowd appeared and rushed towards the city. At the front were more than 3,000 cavalry, followed by tens of thousands of soldiers armed with long spears and short knives, in silence.

It surged up like a tide in the darkness.

Just after the leading cavalry stepped onto the firewood belt that had been arranged outside the city, a cannon sounded from the top of the city. The archers ambushing on the city wall immediately fired ignited rockets at the firewood belt outside the city. Suddenly, the firewood belt was filled with water.

The firewood filled with fuel was ignited, and a fire reached the sky, like a big fire dragon coiling outside the city gate. The flames jumped up to more than ten feet high, like a wall of fire that engulfed the swarming natives.

The soldiers stopped him.

Only less than a hundred cavalrymen broke through the wall of fire, and were immediately attacked by a hail of arrows from the city wall. Most of the cavalrymen were shot off their horses.

The remaining cavalry wanted to turn around and retreat, but found that their retreat had been blocked by fire, so they had no choice but to rush forward risking their lives. Finally, more than thirty cavalrymen rushed into the open city gate.

The Tufan cavalry who rushed into the city gate found that the city was relatively empty and saw no enemy obstruction, so they galloped forward.

At this time, two cannon shots were suddenly heard in the city, and seven or eight horse ropes bounced off the ground. More than 30 cavalrymen and horses who had just rushed into the city were overturned to the ground, and there was a sudden burst of people howling and horses neighing.

, rolling in a ball on the ground in pain.

After hearing the two gun orders, Wan Chengpeng immediately led the soldiers who were ambushing beside the city gate to rush up and captured the dozens of cavalry one by one without any effort.

At the same time, Tianci had led the other soldiers of the cavalry battalion to rush out of the city gate, lined up under the outer wall of the city, and stood ready.

After the fire outside the city was extinguished, the enemy troops outside the city who wanted to attack the city found that the city gate was tightly closed and the city walls were covered with defensive soldiers. There was no chance of a sneak attack anymore, so they held the position outside the city for a while.

After discovering that the soldiers who had entered the city had no chance of returning, they retreated.

After the enemy retreated, the troops here also returned in triumph and returned in triumph. After counting the spoils, it was found that a total of 248 Tufan soldiers, 34 Tufan cavalry, and 38 war horses were captured in this battle.

The next day, Lieutenant Shi, who was still frowning, heard that the enemy army suddenly attacked the city last night and was completely defeated by our army. They achieved a great victory and captured hundreds of prisoners. He was overjoyed and overjoyed. He thought to himself, this cavalryman

The camp is really amazing, I must ask for credit for them in front of the emperor.
