The offensive and defensive battle in front of Xiongguan continued until the sun went down. The compact and fierce battle made the Zhongzhou Army on the city wall see what it means to be tough. The Northeast Army attacked one after another, and all kinds of siege equipment were deployed. If not
There are also a lot of people on the Zhongzhou Army side, and the city wall may have been breached a few hours ago.
The exhausted Zhongzhou Army watched the red sea gradually recede. Most of them collapsed on the city wall powerlessly. They didn't care during the battle. When the battle was over, many people found that they were more or less slightly injured.
Those tall and tough Northeast Army soldiers, every time someone rushed towards them, four or five would fall down on the wall.
Cheng Shijie's tense heartstrings also relaxed, but when his eyes glanced at the two corpses lying quietly next to him, his brows furrowed again. The two Dharma Gods, this was what Su Hu had given to him.
With the help sent, I originally thought that with them, this pass would be even more impregnable, but in the battle a few hours ago, these two Dharma Gods were actually killed by someone from Long Zhantian's camp.
I didn't know the man Cheng Shijie, he was just an old man in ordinary clothes. But just such an old man, with a level 9 water magic, he put out the fire on the city wall, and also washed the city wall clean.
The fighting god on his side couldn't see it and took action. As a result, he was instantly killed by their magic as soon as they met. Cheng Shijie could see clearly that it was the killing move of the water magic god, Shui Mie Liu. If he hadn't been able to dodge quickly,
I guess I can't escape.
Fortunately, the old man only killed two gods of war and then retreated, but the shadow in Cheng Shijie's heart lingered. The fierce combat power of the Northeast Army and the powerful old man made Cheng Shijie face up to Long Zhantian's final plan.
That sentence, Xiongguan, you can’t hold it~!
The Northeastern Army withdrew thirty miles, and after receiving the spy's reward, Cheng Shijie took off his armor. However, he still did not dare to relax, and strictly ordered his men to guard the city wall at night. There were actually more manpower than during the day, and there was no guarantee that the Northeastern Army would not use their same tricks.
Shi, let’s do another flying rope and climb on the wall at night.
In the Northeast Army camp, an old man sat side by side with Long Zhantian on the chairman's seat. Sitting on the left and right were the close generals of the Long family.
Long Zhantian poured a glass of wine and saluted the old man next to him with both hands. The old man took the glass with a smile on his face. "Thanks to Mr. Zhan today, please drink this glass." Long Zhantian picked up another glass of wine and said.
, the old man drank the wine, with a very peaceful smile on his face, "Zhan Tianna, as the old man gets older, he should do more if he can do something for the Long family. You are really too polite."
Long Zhantian looked respectful and toasted another glass of wine. The other generals also toasted the old man. The old man named Zhan was Zhan Wushuang, the head of the five major enshrinements in the worship hall. Zhan Wushuang was extremely famous.
Early on, before Long Gaitian established the worship hall, Zhan Wushuang was already a Dharma God-level figure.
After toasting, Zhan Wushuang left on his own. After Long Zhantian and others sent the old man out, they immediately raised the tent and gathered the generals. The entire Northeast Army camp quickly moved into action. The soldiers smeared the armor and pierced the armor, and the darkness was overwhelming.
Well-armed soldiers quietly gathered in the camp.
These soldiers had never participated in the siege during the day. They had spent the whole day recuperating for the night raid. The black-clothed guards had been sent out by Long Zhantian. If nothing else happened, the signal would be sent out in a moment.
It will sound. At that time, the gate of Xiongguan will be opened wide, and the hinterland of the Central Plains will be visible.
All the generals in the tent clenched the hilts of their swords at their waists. Long Zhantian was wearing armor and staring at the sky. Everyone was waiting for the signal to sound.
With the sound of "Autumn~", dragon-character fireworks exploded in the sky over Xiongguan on time. A hint of joy flashed on Long Zhantian's face, he grabbed the order arrow on the table and said: "Generals, listen to the order~!" The generals clasped their fists and said
: "Here~!"
"Cha" the arrow fell to the ground, and Long Zhantian shouted: "Seize the pass~!" The army rushed out of the camp in a hurry, and the 20,000 Qingqi who secretly ambush ten miles away from Xiongguan were the first to take action. Dots of red flashed in the dark night
And passed away.
"Hey, fireworks?" The soldiers guarding the gate looked blankly into the sky. There were about a hundred people guarding the gate at the bottom of the city. These soldiers were much lazier than those guarding the top of the city. Most of them were sneaking around.
I was dozing off, but after the explosion, I didn't wake up many people at all.
With a "swipe" sound, a large hole was opened out of thin air on the ground, and a black figure jumped out of the hole. The figure flashed forward, and a black dagger flashed out from his sleeve. Then, the door opened.
Cave openings kept appearing in the land, and figures appeared one after another.
The soldiers were finally alert, but it was already too late. These killers belonging to the Anbu Department of the Black Guard were more professional than any killer organization on the mainland. More than a hundred soldiers guarding the door were killed almost instantly.
They were so stunned that they didn't even have time to make a sound.
The same situation happened at the other door at the same time. With the slight sound of gear turning, the heavy door began to slowly open, and the five black-clad Anbu killers simultaneously pulled a huge handle.
With their efforts, the door opened wider and wider.
"Enemy attack~!" A roar pierced the night sky, and the soldiers guarding the city wall looked forward. Because of the darkness, the red Qingqi was not noticed until it was a hundred meters away from the city. It was like a sudden
The sound of horse hooves sounded like rain, and the Northeast Army forwards officially launched their charge.
The "swishing" arrow branches began to tilt crazily down the pass. The bed crossbow kept shaking "squeaking", and the thick arrow branches flew out with a roar, but it was pitch black under the wall, and the night
Only the sound of horse hooves could be heard, and it was impossible to tell how many people there were.
Just when the general in charge of guarding the city was woken up and ran to take command in a panic, a shocking situation occurred to the soldiers. They saw shadows rushing towards the door "whooshing" one after another, hitting each other in the daytime.
The situation of people falling on their backs no longer appeared, and the shadows disappeared one by one.
Someone finally reacted and yelled in extreme horror: "The door has been opened~!" As if to confirm his words, the originally silent door began to boil, with people raising their heads and neighing, completely tearing the night apart.
peaceful.
Cheng Shijie returned to the garrison extremely exhausted. One hundred thousand soldiers were stationed here all year round in Xiongguan. After hearing the news, nearby merchants and people came. Gradually, a town was formed five miles away from Xiongguan. This town was under the jurisdiction of the general of Xiongguan.
, Cheng Shijie's residence was temporarily located in the garrison mansion in this town.
Food has been prepared at home, and his wife and concubines are already waiting for him. In order to show his determination to defend the pass, the loyal Cheng Shijie even brought his family members to Xiongguan to show his determination to defend the pass.
The faces of the wife and concubines were not good-looking, especially Cheng Shijie's wife, who looked terrified. After fighting for a day, although the town was more than five miles away from the pass, the loud shouts of killing still made the family
Uneasy.
"General, are you back?" The concubine obediently handed a cup of tea to Cheng Shijie. Cheng Shijie waved his hand and said with a tired look: "You guys eat first, I'm very tired, so I'm going to rest first."
, Cheng Shijie left first.
The worries on the women's faces deepened. This was only the first day, and the husband was already so tired. Cheng Shijie returned to the backyard, first met with the special envoy sent by Su Hu, and then returned to his room.
Went.
With a sound of "Pu Chi", a man in black who had just touched Cheng Shijie's house stopped, and a blood-red sword edge protruded from his throat. This was a green thin sword. Under the light of the lantern, this man in black suddenly stopped.
The sword looked eerie. The man holding the sword was a middle-aged man. Three long strands of beard were floating slightly in the night, and he had an indescribable sense of coolness.
As soon as the middle-aged man closed his hand, he pulled out the rapier. The dead killer didn't understand why he was discovered when he came in sneakily.
There was another killer who came with the man in black. This killer's methods were slightly more advanced. At this time, he was lying between the rockery, and his whole body was completely integrated with the rockery.
"Come out, stop hiding." The middle-aged man's eyes were like lightning, and he stared coldly in this direction. The killer's heart suddenly tightened, but he still didn't move. "You can really keep your composure, hum~!"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, and the green rapier in his hand danced quickly, and then he saw a strange scene with the killer. He seemed to see pieces of green leaves, and the leaves were like the wind. The next moment, he lost it.
Awareness.
Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, the middle-aged man frowned slightly and muttered secretly in his heart that these two killers were extremely clever. If it weren't for him, no one else would have been able to spot them.
The middle-aged man wiped the blood off his rapier and looked at the house not far away. The person sleeping in that house was Cheng Shijie who had come to greet him before. The middle-aged man had a good impression of this rough-looking man.
None.
Should I inform him? The middle-aged man thought for a while, then shook his head. After a while, the guards who patrolled the mansion would naturally know about him when they found the body. Why should he lower himself? Thinking of this, the middle-aged man walked lightly.
He moved and disappeared in a flash.
The middle-aged man had just returned to the house and sat down, when shouts of death suddenly started outside, and flames shot into the sky. The middle-aged man's eyes flashed, and he rushed out of the door with a "swish".
Cheng Shijie fell down and went to sleep. He vaguely dreamed of several bloody knife tips. He was frightened and sweating profusely in his sleep. Suddenly, a hurried shout came from outside the door: "General~! General
~!"
Cheng Shijie suddenly woke up and jumped out of bed. He didn't even have time to put on his shoes. He grabbed the long knife beside the bed and quickly ran out and opened the door. The guard stood at the door with an anxious look on his face.
When Cheng Shijie arrived: "General, no, something big has happened~!"
Cheng Shijie was also stunned at this time. The sky was red, shouts were everywhere, and the whole town was in chaos.
