He Qizhou suddenly discovered that there were still patrols in the camp, a team of five people, carrying lanterns and walking between the tents. There seemed to be no fixed route. The patrollers' faces were full of deep fatigue.
He Qizhou hurriedly put the raised ice cap back in place, hid behind the nearest tent, waited for the patrolman to go away, then quickly got into the tent, and then disappeared one by one before the three people in the tent screamed.
They acupuncture, then took off their inner armor, took off their clothes, dried themselves, and found a guy with a similar figure to themselves. Regardless of the smell and smell, they put on all the clothes of that person. The smelly ones were better than the wet ones.
He Qizhou originally wanted to subdue a defender after entering the Jiuzhou Pool, change into his clothes, and then find a way to get close to the middle door of the west wall. Now that he found his clothes immediately after getting out of the water, it was an unexpected surprise.
From the conversation in the tent just now, He Qizhou knew that they had just changed their posts, so he was not worried about being noticed immediately. After dressing up, he put on Qi Jun's waist knife, got out of the tent, and then avoided the sight of the patrol.
, taking advantage of the darkness, walked towards the city gate about a hundred steps southwest.
The defenders on the city wall all stared outside the wall, and no one noticed that a black shadow was quietly approaching the city tower.
After finally sneaking to the base of the wall, there was no one guarding the city gate or the ramp up the wall. He Qizhou took advantage of the unpreparedness and turned into the dark doorway under the city tower. He thought that there were not many defenders in the doorway, but the scene in front of him
He Qizhou took a breath of air.
I saw that the gloomy doorway was filled with the hot breath of people, one after another, and no one made any sound except breathing.
After adapting to the darkness inside the doorway, He Qizhou looked inside carefully at the edge of the doorway with a mixed feeling. Fortunately, it could be seen from the black figures that most of the defenders who stayed in the doorway were leaning against the wall or squatting.
, huddled together and seemed to be taking a nap;
What's worrying is that the number of defenders is really too large. There are at least a hundred fully armed soldiers squeezed into a small doorway that is four feet deep and two feet wide. What's worse is that the heavy city gate is blocked behind.
There are several pillars as thick as roof beams. If these pillars are not removed, even a giant car cannot break through the city gate easily.
"Bang bang bang..." The sound of the clock sounded in the city as usual, Yin hour has arrived! The plan agreed upon by He Qizhou and Yuwen Lingyun was that no matter whether the city gate could be opened from the inside or not, the blizzard would launch an attack at Yin hour, and the main attack location would be the west gate tower.
There are city walls on both sides, so He Qizhou's goal is to open the west gate in about a quarter of an hour!
He Qizhou was about to move a few feet inward from the entrance of the cave, and then think of ways to tap the acupuncture points one by one, when he heard someone in the doorway whisper: "Hey, brother, what are you afraid of? If you want to avoid the wind, come in, it's warm here!"
He Qizhou was startled by the sudden shouting, but he soon understood that the other party saw him as a soldier who squeezed into the doorway to keep warm. Since he was standing at the entrance of the door, the people inside looked out and could easily spot him.
Someone comes.
"Yeah, yeah." He Qizhou responded in a low voice, taking this opportunity to go in.
"Come closer, I've been standing there all night, and I'm almost freezing to death!" The man's position was on the edge, with only half of his body next to the crowded crowd. It seemed that he hoped that He Qizhou could block him out.
"Oh." He Qizhou laughed secretly. He wished he could get closer. If he got closer, he could kill at least a dozen of them with one strike. Just as he was about to attack the people around him, he suddenly heard someone running and shouting from the wall above: "Prince
If there is an order, beware of sneak attacks by thieves before dawn, and all city gates should be alert; if the prince has an order, beware of sneak attacks by thieves before dawn, all city gates..."
The voice went from far to near, and then from near to far, repeating that sentence continuously. It was obviously the messengers who were running quickly on the city wall to notify the garrison everywhere.
He Qizhou saw that the soldiers in the doorway didn't seem to respond to the shouts from above. He was about to take action again, but he heard many people running down the slope leading to the wall. Before they arrived, they shouted angrily: "Asshole, what's wrong?
Are you all hiding in the doorway? Get out of here and stand wherever you need to!"
Perhaps because they were afraid of shouting, there was a sudden chaos in the door. Many people rushed to squeeze out of the door. The people who were supposed to be guarding the cave began to scream: "Stop pushing, I'm going to be squeezed out by you."
!”
From this, He Qizhou knew that there would indeed be some defenders left in the cave. Taking this opportunity, he squeezed in the opposite direction under the innermost city gate, and then took advantage of the chaos to use the Deep Swirl Kung Fu to quietly climb up to the top of the arch-shaped brick wall, and reached the height of the nearest gate.
, others cannot see him, but he can clearly see those people outside.
He Qizhou didn't care about the cold in Luoyang at all, but for most Qi people, no matter how much they wore on this bitterly cold night, it was useless, let alone just tattered cotton military uniforms. So the doorway to shelter from the wind became the best choice.
A good place to stay warm - people huddle together to stay warm.
After a commotion, there were only about thirty people left in the cave, neatly arranged on both sides of the door. At least a hundred people came out of the door and returned to their respective positions amidst the shouts and curses of the generals outside the cave.
People began to line up outside the door to call for numbers and count the number of people. Some were guarding the walk up the wall, some were guarding outside the doorway, and some were just civilians helping to carry the wounded and ordnance.
"You bunch of lazy fools, you don't know how blessed you are, do you all want to go up and defend the city? Cheer up, those in the doorway, look at the number of people, right?" A scolding voice entered the doorway,
An officer wearing a large cloak walked in surrounded by several people.
He Qizhou suddenly felt that the voice was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment, and he couldn't see the person's face clearly even with the light behind him.
The commander in charge of guarding the gate immediately came forward, knelt down on one knee, and reported to the general: "I am reporting to Master Qiu that the thirty people in the cave have been counted correctly!"
The officer casually slapped him across the face and said angrily: "It's so dark in the cave, how can you just say it casually and think it's okay? I'm so easy to fool? Let so many people squeeze in?"
, I asked you to pretend to be a good person? Please listen to me clearly, no more people are allowed to come in. If there is any problem with these pillars, be careful and I will punish you!"
"Young ones don't dare, little ones don't dare, hurry up, hurry up, tell me your names!" The commander immediately knelt down on his knees. Although he had counted the number of people when he was forming the team, he had not received any instructions not to allow the soldiers outside the door to come in.
However, he was frightened by the other party's power and did not dare to tell the difference for himself.
The soldiers in the cave announced their names one by one, and sure enough, there were thirty of them. The officer who came in to check the post said angrily when he left: "If I find anyone dozing off again, I will immediately move him to the city wall!"
"Yes, yes, yes, cheer up, Mr. Qiu, let's go." The commander didn't dare to straighten up until the officer led the people out of the door, and cursed angrily in a low voice: "Bah! As soon as Tu Yuhun is gone.
Just a grandson who is pretending to be sick, why is he pretending to be an uncle here? He is also a bodyguard, he has the same virtue as Qiu Huan, in addition to playing with women, he also knows how to flatter!"
When He Qizhou heard Qiu Huan's name, he immediately thought of it. It turned out that the officer was Qiu Xin who had tried to tease Xiaoxue but was taught a lesson by him. Unexpectedly, he was sent here to defend the city. Well, I'll do it again if I have the chance.
Teach him a lesson.
He Qizhou, who was adsorbed on the ceiling of the cave, waited for half a stick of incense. Finally, someone below could not hold back his fatigue and leaned against the wall in a daze. As the appointed time was approaching, He Qizhou stopped waiting and slipped down from the wall on the left, volleying into the air.
He pointed out his fingers and tapped the acupuncture points of the three people, and then supported them one by one before they fell down, making them lean against the wall.
Immediately afterwards, He Qizhou began to strike from the inside out, along one side of the wall. The commander standing in the middle seemed to have discovered something, and turned his head to look inward, but was immediately stopped by He Qizhou with a jumping step. At this time, He Qizhou had already
After tapping the acupuncture points of seven people, when the commander noticed something strange, he had no choice but to rush over and tap the acupoints of three people in the middle.
The movement became louder now. Most of the dozen or so sleepy soldiers opposite noticed something strange. They looked over and saw that most of the comrades in the row opposite were crookedly leaning against the wall. Two of them had even sat on the ground.
He couldn't help but shout at He Qizhou and asked: "Hey, what are you doing?"
"Shh, be gentle, don't scream, it was ordered by General Qiu!" He Qizhou had an idea and opened his mouth to fool the row of soldiers on the opposite side. At the same time, he shot like flying, knocking down the four people on the right side of the commander one by one.
"What happened inside?" The guard outside the door also heard the movement and asked.
"Don't mind your own business. I'm following General Qiu's orders." He Qizhou simply replied loudly, then pretended to walk to the middle of the doorway and lectured the other row of soldiers: "I will take over the defense now. You all come here. I will
I have something to say."
People outside the cave were told not to enter the cave because of their hatred. As expected, no one came in again. Only some people took a look, but they couldn't see anything in the dark. The row of soldiers in the cave who were not attacked saw that He Qizhou was very skilled.
Yes, most of them came over suspiciously, and someone asked in a low voice: "Sir, are you a Jinyiwei or a Wuchasi? No, you won't kill them all, right?"
"I am a member of the Jinyiwei Baihu. Mr. Qiu said that there are experts sent here from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. I suspect that there are some accomplices among you. You all should come closer now and see if there is anyone you don't recognize." He Qizhou saw that there were still a few people who were there.
Looking at the comrades lying on the ground opposite, I thought about gathering all fifteen people together before taking action, but I didn't expect that I would show my weakness.
"Impossible, we didn't find any outsiders when we reported our names just now, but you, where did you come from?" A soldier who approached found that He Qizhou had never been seen before, and there was no such person among the people who reported his name at that time.
People can't help but have questions.
"Bold!" He Qizhou no longer waited, and directly sealed the opponent's acupuncture points, and started the second round of attacks. He touched every spot with the golden touch, and several more people fell down.
