Chapter 361 [Breaking the city at night]
(Thank you very much! Thank you Zhao Wuxiu 2014, ufgw, Zheng Qijin, get rid of confusion, Yun Ao follows the wind)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The night is dark, the battle is fierce, the fire is shining, and the figures are like a fantasy.
All this was reflected in Yuan Shang's listless pupils, but there was no excitement at all, only endless sadness. Even though there were tall and thick city walls, thousands of elite soldiers and a large number of defensive facilities, in front of the raindrop-like flying stones, everything was like paper-paste clay sculptures, vulnerable.
What will happen tomorrow? You can give yourself an answer without asking the heavens or ghosts and gods.
"What will happen tomorrow, two gentlemen?" Yuan Shang was promoted to the position, and he relied on a lot of the procedures. He met the power of the two and their family, so he respected him as a gentleman and was not named.
Shen Pei sighed quietly: "My nephew Ximen Captain Shen Rong had reported before the darkness that the flying stones of the Dragon Wolf Army were launched by a large wooden siege weapon. The Dragon Wolf Army had leveled the road surface of the West Gate, laid with rolling wood and thick boards, and pulled the siege weapon to the city. It is expected to be prepared for the attack on Zicheng tomorrow..."
Feng Ji hesitated and said, "Can you attack it with arrows?"
Shen Pei shook her head: "The artifact is outside the range, and the arrows are not as far away."
In addition to the trial, there was also a person with the same weight. Xinpi who escaped by chance in the battle of Ximen today.
At this time, Xinpi no longer had the style of a famous man in Yingchuan. He had bandaged his body and arms several times. Although he was covered with a wide robe, his face was stunned and his dull eyes all showed that the famous man was already a frightened bird.
Sure enough, when Xinpi heard the word "Flying Stone", he shook his whole body unconsciously, and his right face and corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch. This part was the position that was shot by Lu Weihuang's brain during the fierce battle during the day.
Yuan Shang was even more sad when he saw Xin Pi's appearance and was extremely upset.
Seeing this, Shen Pei felt that he would not do anything. The young master was very likely to be in a slump and said quickly: "Pei has ordered Zirong to gather 500 soldiers, carry tinder oil and firewood, gather at the south gate, and go down with ropes. There are fewer Dragon Wolf troops here. If a sudden attack, they may break through the blockade and rush to the stone catapult. Splash oil and burn it. In this way, they may break the enemy."
Yuan Shang's eyes lit up: "Can you do it?"
Shen Pei looked firm: "It will be possible to make a contribution!"
Almost at the same time, Dong Zhao also spoke to Ma Han in the tent of the Central Army General of the Longlang Army camp: "The Yuan army's power has declined, and may take risks and launch a night attack. But I don't know where the gate will come out, or I may be under ropes. Unfortunately, our army's lack of military strength will be difficult to take into account the entire city and Nanguan City. We can only send more personnel to protect the catapult array and respond to changes in the same way."
Ma Han nodded repeatedly to agree. Then he shook his head: "It's too passive, it's better to lock in Yuan Jun's movements... Gongren doesn't have to worry. I will supervise myself and send Shu Zhi to lead the general guards to deal with any night owl who dares to go out."
The General Guard is a special force, and it is just right to deal with the Rangers that Shen Rong.
Late at night, Ma Han was under the entourage of Le Jin, Xu Huang, Ma Chao, Pang De and the 20 Iron Guards including Chen Dao and Tiennu. He climbed to the newly captured Yecheng and began to patrol the city.
Originally, this dark patrol was so dark that Ma Chao had never thought of following him. He was talking about war with Le Jin, Xu Huang, and Pang De at that time. He even had two moves with Le Jin. However, after hearing that Ma Han was on patrol, Le Jin threw down his gun and shield and asked his entourage to pull the war horses.
Ma Chao was very upset: "What's the best way to patrol the city in this black lacquer? How can we talk about our skills when drinking?"
Le Jin said mysteriously: "You don't know, but the Dragon Wolf Army in Liaodong knows that the lord has a technique of listening to heaven. Even if it is separated by mountains and water, no matter how dark it is, no one or more animals can escape the lord within a radius of more than ten miles."
Not only Ma Chao, but even Xu Huang and Pang De were wide open when they heard this. Although he was skeptical, Le Jin swore his promise, so everyone rushed to the gate before Ma Han to wait. When he saw Ma Han, he asked to patrol the city together.
Ma Han nodded, and did not comment, and took the lead. The four generals of Le Jin were naturally honest and unceremonious to follow.
Under the protection of the entourage holding a torch, the generals climbed Guocheng. A hundred feet away from the opposite side, rows of fire lights that were unstable in the night wind were also patrolling back and forth. Of course, the Yuan army's patrols would never have thought that they would be killed. Just opposite them, under the torch, there were actually a series of the most senior generals of the Dragon Wolf Army. If they knew, it would be hard to say whether they would launch a raid to death.
Ma Chao paid great attention to Ma Han's actions along the way, but no matter how he looked, Ma Han's back was always so leisurely, without any shocking actions such as tilting his ears or stopping and walking. If you have to say it is a little different, it is that Ma Han always clasped his arms with his hands. This action is indeed a bit strange.
I have to say that Ma Chao's eyes are quite sharp.
Ma Han hugged his arms with both hands, his thumb with his right hand was naturally facing up. After turning on the heat source scan, he could see all the troops in front of the city. He walked as fast as a race, and the soldiers behind him also followed quickly, and went back and forth. The entire Ximen City Wall section was five miles long, one round trip was ten miles, and after a few rounds, he would be afraid that he would not be able to withstand it.
Ma Han seemed to be enjoying it, walking over and over again. Although Ma Chao was fierce, he could not resist the patrol of the city so hard that he could not help but get on the "pirate ship". He just got on the "pirate ship". It was impossible to leave halfway. He felt resentful to Le Jin to death. When he was about to compete for skills next time, he must use a big move to give Le Jin a ruthless and exhale.
Ma Chao was complaining about himself, not knowing when he would be able to walk aimlessly. Suddenly, Ma Han in front suddenly stopped and raised his hand to make a still gesture.
Le Jin was excited and leaned closer to Ma Chao's ear and said, "Here you come."
Ma Chao was skeptical, but heard Ma Han say, "There is a group of Yuan army ropes in the south city, with a distance of one and a half miles away, and the number of people is between four hundred and five hundred... Shuzhi."
"The last one will be here!"
"Lead one hundred armored guards and one hundred fierce cavalry to ambush the hills between the south city and the stone-cattering machine, attack them from front to back, and destroy them. Oh, capture the leader of this night attack team alive."
Seeing that Ma Han was seriously assigned to command, it seemed as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes. Ma Chao did feel what Le Jin said, but he was really unbelievable. He was eager to try and asked Ma Han for a fight: "Chao is willing to help Captain Chen with his arm."
Ma Han waved his hand and said, "Okay, whoever wants to go."
So Le Jin and Ma Chao took all his guns and shields, but only Xu Huang and Pang De consciously protected the lord and did not dare to leave without permission.
Soon, Xu Huang and Pang De saw the fire in the distance, and then the fierce sound of weapons fighting came. The two generals looked at each other, all in shock, looking at the back of the lord, with a more awe in their eyes.
He was determined to make a mistake and was attacked on the storm. He was also the elite general guard in the Dragon Wolf Knight with great combat power. There was no suspense in this battle.
Half an hour later, Chen Dao led the general guard to escort a long list of prisoners to the city and reported to Ma Han: "Report to the lord, kill more than a hundred enemies, and capture two hundred enemies, and the remaining enemies fled in the chaos of night."
Ma Chao stepped forward and laughed: "Lord, I'm super convinced. It's really the divine art of the Heavenly Listening. Look, I'm arresting this leader."
Shen Rong's luck was indeed weak. He was hitting Ma Chao in chaos. He was picked up by a long sword when he met and captured alive under the ribs. Fortunately, Shen Rong was strong and not as bad as Yu Mi, and he could die with one pinch. Even so, he could not breathe and was so suffocated.
Ma Han had learned from Chen Dao that this person was Shen Rong, the nephew of Shen Pei, and was the guardian of the west gate of Zicheng. A plan quickly flashed through his mind. At this moment, Chen Dao also whispered: "Lord, this person can be used."
Ma Han smiled and said, "Uncle Zhi and I have thought of it." He took a few steps forward and looked down at Shen Rong, who was at the stairs and said directly, "I am Ma Han. Your life and your family are in my hands. If you are willing to surrender and cooperate with the Dragon Wolf Army to defeat Ye, I will ensure that the Yinan Shen clan is safe and sound. Those who should be filial and honest, those who should be filial and honest, and those who should be chaotic and Maocai, and all the members of the Shen clan have their current official positions. How about it?"
Ma Han said so directly that Shen Rong could not digest it for a while, especially when he learned that the young and excessive young man in front of him was actually the famous General of the Cavalry. Shen Rong was shocked for a long time before he recovered. As soon as his mouth opened, he was sharply interrupted by Ma Han.
"I don't want to hear the rejection, nor do I want to argue with you. There is not much time. In half a moment, you will have to reply to me. If so, you and your tribe are alive; if not, I promise you that within three days, Yin'an Shen family will be removed from the Hebei family."
It's up to this point, unless Shen Rong is as stubborn as his uncle, there is only one choice.
Half an hour later, Shen Rong appeared under the west gate of Zicheng with a group of "remnants and defeated soldiers" holding sparse torches.
"Open the door quickly, I'm Shen Rong!"
The guards on the top of the city shook the torches and looked hard for a while. Finally, they confirmed that it was their immediate superior, the captain Shen Rong.
"Prince Examiner, you, you are..."
"Stop talking nonsense. I will attack the Dragon Wolf Army at night with the Young Master and the Secret Order. I didn't expect the enemy to be prepared. As a result... Bah, such a secret matter is not something you can know. Open the city gate quickly."
"Yes, yes, the lieutenant. But the bad driver had strict orders. When entering and leaving the city gate at night, there must be a handwritten order from the young master and the little driver..."
"Are you going to give me a clear order? Take it!" Boss Shen Rong impatiently raised a token high. Of course, he had clear orders to enter and exit the city gate, which was unexpectedly checked.
A basket was quickly hung down from the city, and the token was put in by Wen Rong, and the basket was collected and the inspection was correct. The guards quickly opened the city gate, and more than a hundred "remnants and defeated soldiers" rushed in.
Another moment later, on the roof of the west gate of Zicheng, someone raised a fire in circles, three circles on the left and three circles on the right, shaking up and down in the middle.
Seeing this, Ma Han turned his head and looked at Le Jin beside him: "Wan Qian is willing to come first?"
Le Jin laughed: "I really want to ask for it."
