Chapter 348 Night Attack on Jiaohe City (1)

The moment when the old Hu clan learned that Moya was the Cheshi royal family, Liang Xiao knew that he might have been fooled.

Che Shiren's names were transliterated. He never expected that Moya and Mo Yu were brothers and sisters. The woman who was pregnant with Liujia looked pitiful, but she didn't expect that she had such a scheming and was really out of sight.

Recalling Moya's simplicity, Liang Xiao secretly complained: People should not behave like appearance.

"What should I do?" Xiya regretted it. She had the most contact with Moya and also said a lot of good things for Moya in front of Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao was deceived and she had the responsibility to be unable to shirk it. "Without a horse, should we still walk back to Dazhang?"

Liang Xiao also had a headache. After walking more than 300 miles of mountain road, many soldiers were frostbite and were very exhausted. It was unrealistic to walk more than 100 miles back to Daban on the way back. If they encounter Huns or Cheshi people on the way back, they have no war horses, and they will be vulnerable and cannot even escape.

Despite this, Liang Xiao still forced himself to hold on to his uneasiness. Huan Yuan said many times that he would be the courage of a army. No matter what situation he faced, the generals could not be confused. If he panic, negative emotions would soon spread.

"Don't be anxious." Liang Xiao said deliberately in a relaxed tone: "Since we are here in Jiaohe City, we have to go in and take a look at what the women of the car master look like. Are they all as cunning as Moya?"

The mercenaries laughed and winked. Xiya curled her lips, moved towards Liang Xiao, and stuck to Liang Xiao. When she was in Wutugu, Liang Xiao did not allow the mercenaries to touch Moya, and asked them to return all the things in Moya's tent. They were somewhat regretful, especially when they heard that Moya was the royal family of Cheshi, Moya, who was originally good-looking among Cheshi, suddenly became more beautiful.

Letting a royal woman warm the bed is very fulfilling for them.

Liang Xiao turned his head and looked at the mercenaries with a look of pride. "Who has been to Cheshi City?"

The spirit fox and a few mercenaries squeezed over. "Sir, I've been here a few times."

"That's great." Liang Xiao pulled him to his side and handed him the Qianliyan. "Tell me about the situation in Cheshicheng. The others seized the time to rest and wait for my order."

The mercenaries responded, but didn't think much about it. Linghu was the deputy commander of the mercenary and was agile. Needless to say, Liang Xiao was normal for him to win with less. They gathered together and attacked Jiaohe City with ease. Liang Xiao asked them to wait for the order, but naturally they were waiting for the order to enter the city. Jiaohe City was the King of Cheshi, whether it was wealth or women. They were not comparable to the herdsmen of Wutu Gu and Liu Gu.

Finally, I can enjoy it. This time I have to make a good fortune. The mercenaries hid in the shelter to rest with the desire to make a fortune.

Liang Xiao and Linghu clung together, observing the city conditions of Jiaohe City with their clairvoyances, while drawing sketches on the ground.

Linghu explained in detail to Liang Xiao his understanding of Jiaohe City.

Jiaohe City is between two valleys. The vertical distance from the city to the valley is about ten feet, straight up and down, like a knife cutting. Perhaps this is the reason. Jiaohe City does not have a real city wall, but only a city tower that is conducive to defense is built near the city gate. And it is directly dug out in the soil, not built separately.

Jiaohe City has three city gates, the east gate, the west gate and the south gate. The east gate is the water gate that leads to the river valley and allows the people in the city to draw river water. There is a highway between the two gates. The south gate is the only passage to enter and exit Jiaohe City. There is a highway in the north and south direction running through the whole city. The houses in the city are the same as the city gate, and are not specially built. Instead, they are dug out. The climate here is dry, the soil is hard, and the houses dug are very strong.

"The south is the royal palace, and the guards are relatively strict. The north is the temple area. It is the place where monks who practice practice live. The middle is the ordinary people live, which is quite messy." The spirit fox held his eyes and looked at it for a long time. "Now there are even patrolling soldiers in the temple area, which can be considered as martial law in the whole city."

Liang Xiao nodded. He saw this problem and realized that he had been fooled by Mo Ya.

"But there are not many people." Liang Xiao was confident. "It seems that King Cheshi was very respectful to the Huns, and most of his troops were transferred."

"But they have a good location. We can't imagine only by guarding three city gates. It's not easy to climb such a high wall. Once we are discovered, we can't escape even if we want to."

"So we should move quickly." Liang Xiao rubbed his eyes. The Qianliyan craftsmanship is not yet home, and the image is a bit blurry. After looking at it for a long time, his eyes are very uncomfortable. "We have even climbed over such a high snow mountain, and are we still afraid of a river bank of more than ten feet?"

The spirit fox is still worried.

Liang Xiao turned around and pointed to the poplar trees beside the valley. The leaves had fallen, leaving only bare branches. Most of the trees were relatively short, only one or two taller, about three or five feet tall.

"Climb over the tree?"

"No, I'll cover you in the tree and buy you time."

The spirit fox looked at it for a moment and suddenly laughed. "Yes, with the sound shooting skills of adults, this distance is 100% wide." He then reminded again: "Sir, it's cold at night, and the wind bites people like a knife, which can freeze people in a while."

Liang Xiao also smiled. It was right to let Linghu be the deputy leader of the mercenary group. Although this person's martial arts are not first-class, his mind is very flexible. As soon as he said something, Linghu understood.

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention." Liang Xiao said calmly, but he felt a little nervous. It's the coldest month of the year, and it may be only minus thirty degrees below zero at night, which is enough to freeze people's ears and noses. He also has to climb to the top of the tree, and the air-cooling effect will make the temperature even lower. "Because of this, the car masters will not think of our appearance."

The spirit fox nodded and turned around to arrange it.

Liang Xiao carefully observed the terrain, selected the location for the assault, and waited patiently for darkness.

While waiting, he paid attention to the temple area in the north of Cheshi Wangcheng. There were no tall temples there, only some low houses, which looked similar to the slums in the middle, and even a little simpler. If you must find the characteristics, it was probably a pagoda forest beside the cliff. Linghu said that it was the tomb left by the monks who practiced.

Liang Xiao remembered the original pagoda. Before Daxing pagodas in the Han area, the authentic pagoda stupa was like this, as if he covered a monk's bowl on the ground and inserted a stick on it to indicate where to bury his bones.

It seems that there are already some people who believe in Buddhism and there is still a residential area.

After the sun set, the valley was pitch black and I couldn't see my fingers. Liang Xiao, who was sleeping, was awakened by Xiya, opened his eyes, raised his eyes, and observed Jiaohe City again.

Jiaohe City melted into the deep night, with a quietness and indescribable majesty. The lights in the south were like stars in the sky, and the middle was dark, and there was no breath of humanity.

Following the terrain that was observed during the day, Liang Xiao and others sneaked into the valley. They scattered and covered each other. Liang Xiao and Tu Niuer walked in the front. He had the best ears and Tu Niuer had the best skills. They led the way to discover and clear the secret whistle deployed by the Cheshi people in advance.

To Liang Xiao's estimate, there were no secret messages in the valley. They passed through the valley smoothly and came to the city of Jiaohe.

Liang Xiao, with his bow and arrow, climbed up the selected Hu leaf and sat down at the top of the tree. At this time, he was only about thirty steps away from the head of Jiaohe City, with a distance of fifteen steps up and down. He closed his eyes, put down his hood, and calmed himself down.

The cold breeze blew across his cheeks and his ears, instantly taking away the heat. His face was frozen quickly, and his ears were frozen to the point of being conscious. It was so cold. Liang Xiao cursed a few words inwardly. If he didn't pay attention, he might become an ice corpse tomorrow.

Liang Xiao endured the stinging pain and listened for a moment.

The city was pitch black, with no fire, no footsteps, and no sound of people talking.

There was a swaying fire behind a wall a hundred steps away. It seemed that several patrol soldiers were cooking fires. As he estimated, the soldiers of the chariots did not believe that there would be people attacking at night in such weather, and they all found a place to hide from such places that were simply inaccessible.

This is great. If you do your best, I will have a chance.

Liang Xiao carefully wrapped his head in the prepared clothes. He didn't want his nose or ears to be frozen. Everything was ready, knocked on the tree trunk, and issued an order to start the action.

The branches shaking the branches, and Pangshuo climbed up with his hands and feet. His body was heavy. Although he had already made the movements as light as possible, he still made the poplar trees rustle. Liang Xiao was excited, staring at the fire in the distance, erected his ears, and observed everything around him, for fear that the train soldiers in the distance would hear the movement.

Pang Shuo climbed to the top of the tree, found a foothold, and straightened out the rope in his hand. He moved the flying grab tied with the rope, making a whirring sound, and then threw it out with force.

The flying claw disappeared in the night sky, and for a moment, it landed on the ground, making a muffled sound.

At that moment, everyone held their breath, and Liang Xiao even used his hearing to listen to the movements around him.

The fire in the distance shook for a moment, and a figure stood up and looked here. Liang Xiao reached out to hold the bow, tapped an arrow, and squinted his eyes. The man looked around for a moment, then retreated.

Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, let go of the string-buckle hand, and raised his thumbs up at Pang Shuo. At such a long distance, without Pang Shuo's arm strength, ordinary people really couldn't throw it up. Pang Shuo grinned. "Master, be careful."

"I'm fine. You guys hurry up." Liang Xiao put his hand to his mouth, let out a sigh, and quickly wrapped his clothes tightly. Although he had only taken off his gloves for a moment, he could almost feel his fingers.

"Here." Pang Shuo responded, slid down the tree, rushed out with the spirit fox, and with the mercenaries. ——
