Chapter 225: Investigating the enemy's situation at night, the king of the casino! 1
The night is as cold as water
Outside Dongguan Fortress
Silver frost everywhere looks like the first snow
Leng Hongjie, the general of Caiyun Kingdom, stared gloomily at the city a stone's throw away, and pursed his lips little by little.
The spies have reported that the Marquis Qingluan of Fengling Kingdom has arrived with 60,000 troops to support him.
He must capture this fortress before the reinforcements arrive.
The fourth watch is the time when people are most easily tired, and it is also the time when the guards at Dongguan Fortress are most relaxed.
Leng Hongjie raised his face and glanced at the sky. He said two words in a deep voice:
"Siege the city!"
As soon as he gave the order, the messengers around him immediately blew the horn of attack.
In the sound of trumpets
Countless hidden arrows pierced the night sky
Many of the guards on the Dongguan Fortress wall were still asleep when they were killed by the hidden arrows.
By the time they hurriedly reacted and prepared to meet the enemy, the Caiyun soldiers who had already quietly sneaked near the city wall had set up their ladders.
The torches on the city wall reflected faces like wolves and tigers, with cold light flashing and blood splattering.
When the first ray of sunlight appeared on the distant sky, the phoenix feather flag flying on the flagpole erected high on the Dongguan Fortress had been trampled by countless feet and horse hooves, and the color could not be distinguished.
What is fluttering in the wind is a proud colorful cloud
That's the symbol of Caiyun Kingdom
When the spies reached Murong Wushuang's ears at noon the next day, Murong Wushuang's army was still about a day away from Dong Pass.
At this time, the soldiers were stopping and eating lunch
In the temporary tent set up, Murong Wushuang and several lieutenants were also eating.
"This Leng Hongjie is really hateful!"
Upon hearing the news, Ma Hu was the first to curse.
"Yes, yes! Let him be happy for two days, and when our army arrives, he will be scared to death!"
Zhao Wei also echoed
At this time, it is the best time for flatterers to show off. Naturally, these two people are not willing to lag behind.
"Your Majesty, why don't I lead the cavalry to hurry up and catch them off guard before they can gain a foothold?!"
