Chapter 1058 Steal
As night falls, the mountains and forests on both sides of Wuguan are shrouded in darkness.
The overturned tree branches swayed slightly in the night wind, and leaves would fall to the ground from time to time. It was already autumn, and the fallen leaves had already accumulated a thick layer on the ground, making a popping sound when stepped on.
This dark forest seems to be filled with ghosts and ghosts. Even if you don't hear the slightest sound, the faint of heart would not dare to walk in it at night.
In a dense forest only thirty miles away from Wuguan, a group of black figures were marching quietly. Everyone was holding their horses and moving forward little by little.
This is really like a hundred ghosts walking in the night.
Shentu Chenfeng stood out among the crowd. As the commander-in-chief, he naturally did not need to lead the horse, but led a few elite soldiers to clear the way ahead.
The few people walked quickly, relying on the cover of tree trunks to move forward, always paying attention to the movements in the forest.
The purpose of their trip was to cross the deep mountains and get around to the back of Wuguan, catching the Liang army by surprise.
The land around Wuguan is dangerous, with deep mountains on both sides. The pass just blocks the broad road from the grassland to the inside of the pass, otherwise it would not be chosen as a bridgehead to resist foreign enemies.
Those who defeat Wuguan have always defeated Liangzhou. In other words, if Wuguan is captured, there will be no such dangerous ground for one man to guard the pass, and the Yan army's horses can gallop at will.
But this does not mean that there is only one road from Wuguan to outside the pass. There are countless mountain roads in the deep mountains:
Some of them may have been trampled by hunters in the mountains, others may have been discovered by smugglers who put their heads in their belts, or they may just be wandering out randomly by some lost people.
Even the most experienced crossbowman in the army cannot claim to know every path in the mountains and forests.
But these roads all have one thing in common, that is, they are difficult to walk and cannot pass large groups of troops and siege equipment.
There were barely a few lanes that could accommodate cavalry walking side by side, and crossbowmen basically took these roads to make a detour out of the customs.
Without exception, these mountain roads where cavalry can walk are guarded by Liang troops, and scouts are constantly patrolling to prevent Yan troops from stealing through.
Even if the Yan army knew that there was a passable road, they would not dare to go there. Even if you could pass 10,000 people, you would not be able to send 10,000 people supplies.
These roads are sealed. Even if there are Yan soldiers who can infiltrate, they are just sporadic spies and there is nothing to fear.
But today Shentu Chenfeng acted out of character. Instead of walking, he walked directly through the mountains and forests. He had no definite route, only the general direction was correct.
Of course, this road was not decided by Shentu Chenfeng with a slap on the forehead, but was explored with some scouts from the army who were familiar with the terrain.
There are very few Liang Army scouts roaming around in this area, and they will basically not be discovered. In addition, the mountain is not too steep, so although it is difficult to walk, it can be passed!
When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, the team stopped neatly because Shentu Chenfeng, who was leading the way, saw a faint light of fire ahead.
"They are probably the crossbowmen of the Liang Army." A burly-faced man said softly.
This person's name is Yan Erda, he is a captain who leads the army of thousands of elites on this trip. He can be regarded as an old man beside Shentu Chenfeng's father. He has been with his father for more than ten years.
Shentu Chenfeng rushed to the front line with a total of two thousand people, and these one thousand people were carefully selected by him to implement this plan to break the barrier.
The young leader of the Shentu tribe is also very courageous. He dares to personally undertake such a dangerous task of going deep behind enemy lines, which has to be admired.
Shentu Chenfeng's eyes fell on the firelight in the distance through the shadows of the trees, and said with a cold face:
"No one except soldiers would be wandering in the mountains in the middle of the night."
"Young patriarch, do you want~"
Yan Erda's palm lightly drew in the air, making a motion of wiping his neck.
"Need not."
Shentu Chenfeng shook his head calmly: "There is no benefit in killing a few more people. We can't attract Liang Jun's attention so quickly. Just wait patiently."
"Understood!" Yan Erda nodded slightly.
For example, the generals in the Shentu clan almost all admired Shentu Longfu, and naturally they also respected Shentu Chenfeng.
Moreover, Shentu Chenfeng is not a brainless second generation ancestor, and few people can match the scars alone.
A thousand people were hibernating in the dense forest, and the mouths of a thousand war horses were gagged, and the horses' hooves were wrapped with thick strips of cloth. You really couldn't tell that there were a thousand people hiding here until you got closer.
It was not until the latter half of the night that the fire in the distance gradually extinguished, and there was a slight sound of horse hooves, and then the forest became quiet again.
Yan Erda tiptoed to the side of Shentu Chenfeng, who was taking a nap with his eyes closed, and whispered: "Young patriarch, he is gone."
Shentu Chenfeng opened his eyes and curled his lips: "Let's go!"
…
"Woo~wu~"
The east turned white, the sky was dim, and the shrill horn sounded again outside Wuguan, which had been silent for a long time, and the endless infantry of the Yan army appeared in the defender's field of vision.
The siege war that had been suspended for more than half a month finally started again. The Yan army, which had been recuperating for a while, was full of energy and marched forward.
Tuotuobuhua, who had held back his anger in the camp, once again rode on the battlefield, constantly issuing orders to attack the city.
"Get ready to throw stones!"
…
"Get ready to throw stones!"
…
"Load the crossbow!"
"Load the crossbow!"
"put!"
"Bang bang bang~"
After the army arrived at the city, they began to attack the city without any rest. Arrows and stones rained down from the sky and smashed into the head of Wuguan City.
The top of Wuguan City was extremely quiet. The guards were hiding in the arrow towers and turrets to avoid the rain of arrows. Now was not the time for them to fight back.
After throwing stones and sending half a stick of incense flying in a hail of arrows, angry shouts finally rang out from the Yan army formation:
"General's order! The army will climb the city!"
"The army scales the city!"
"Dong~dong~dong~"
"Kill!"
The infantry of the Yan army formed a neat square formation and swarmed towards the north gate of Wuguan like a tide.
A new round of siege warfare has begun.
Unexpectedly, Mu Yun Duankang and Baili Shen also appeared in the army today.
On the Chinese general's platform, the two of them leaned on the railing and looked at the Wuguan city.
After the infantry approached the city wall, stones and arrows began to rain down from the top of the city, and the first wave of casualties of the siege infantry had already appeared.
However, the two of them didn't care much about the casualties of the infantry. No matter how many people died, what was presented to them in the end was just a few numbers.
"Do you think this guy Shentu can succeed?" Mu Yunduankang murmured softly.
At least he was startled when he heard that Shen Tu Chenfeng was going deep behind enemy lines. He was indeed Shen Tu Longfu's son, and he was extremely courageous.
"It's hard to say, Chen Feng's plan is very dangerous, and Liang Jun is not a vegetarian." Baili Shen was a little unsure.
"Wait and act as planned." Mu Yunduankang swung his robe sleeves and walked off the stage.
