Chapter 255: Night Attack on Yingdu (First Update)
It was a dark night.
The dark night made Sima Jin feel very uncomfortable, and he walked slowly in the darkness, cautiously approaching the Yingdu city wall in the distance.
If it weren't for the faint lights at the head of the city, Sima Jin even suspected that he might get lost in the dark, because in such darkness, Sima Jin's eyesight was weakened to the extreme.
The tall Yingdu City is like a behemoth standing on the earth in the dark night, although the outline is not clear, but the swarthy shadow is extremely oppressive, and when you look up and see such a big black shadow, you can't help but make your heart beat faster.
A few successive falls sounded behind Sima Jin with a low cry of pain, Sima Jin seemed to be accustomed to this, and did not have any change in expression, just turned his head low and said, "Be careful." Then we continued on our way.
For these soldiers, the darkness of the night would make them lose their sight, and they had to hold hands to avoid getting lost, and the consequence of this was that the march was slow and prone to falling.
After another moment, Sima Jin stopped about a mile away from the city wall.
This distance is not close, but it can already rush to the city in a short time.
Sima Jin began to wait.
Waiting is always a hard time, especially if you don't know how long you'll have to wait.
Although he had roughly estimated the time and distance before setting off, when Sima Jin stood under this pitch-black sky, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.
"Damn, when the hell will it start?"
Sima Jin muttered in a low voice, crouched quietly in the grass, staring at the light of the torches at the head of Yingdu City in the distance, waiting for the arrival of the "fighter" that Wang Ling said.
A cold wind of autumn leaves blew, making Sima Jin shiver involuntarily, and many goosebumps appeared on his skin.
In order to keep the battle light, Sima Jin didn't wear much clothes, and as for things like armor, it never played any role in keeping warm.
It would be good to wait until the battle began, Sima Ji silently comforted himself in his heart.
Behind Sima Jin, from time to time there was a sound of sneezing that was deliberately suppressed.
I don't know how long I waited, but just when Sima Jin couldn't help but be blown by the cold wind of this autumn night, a sound of shouting and killing and the intersection of weapons suddenly sounded from behind the north wall of Yingdu in front of Sima Jin.
Immediately after, a reddish fire appeared in the middle of the city.
With just one glance, Sima Jin knew that at least three or more houses had been set on fire.
This kind of thing is very experienced, Sima Jin is very experienced.
After hearing the firelight and shouts of killing, Sima Jin's spirits perked up, and without any hesitation, the Qin army vanguard general jumped up from his hiding place and roared in his mouth.
"Second and third sons, go with me!"
Before he finished speaking, Sima Jin's body suddenly lost his balance with a click and slammed into the ground.
“***!” Sima Jin, who had eaten a mouthful of soil, stood up again in some annoyance, and didn't bother to pay attention to the stone that tripped him over, or even to wipe the dust off his face, so he continued to rush forward in the darkness.
Behind Sima Jin, the sound of thumping falls was endless.
The fighting behind the walls grew more and more intense.
Sima Jin strode through the darkness, his eyes only the light on the city wall.
It seemed that someone at the head of the city had discovered Sima Jin's movements, and the shouts vaguely reached Sima Jin's ears, but these shouts were quickly drowned out by the fierce shouts and killings on the city.
Finally, Sima Jin successfully escaped the darkness and rushed into the range of the torches shining at the head of the city.
Behind Sima Jin, one Qin soldier after another rushed out one after another.
The tall Yingdu city wall and the north city gate are right in front of them!
Sima Jin rushed to the north gate.
At this moment, the shouting suddenly weakened significantly.
Sima Jin was shocked, could it be that the secret force in the city had failed?
If that's the case, then how can the thousand elites led by Sima Jin break through this fortified city?
Before Sima Jin's thoughts could finish spinning in his head, an extremely sharp friction sound that made people feel extremely sore sounded in Sima Jin's ears.
The north gate in front of Sima Jin slowly opened in the midst of this sound.
Sima Jin was overjoyed, and rushed in almost as soon as the gap in the city gate was just large enough for one person to enter.
Behind the city gate was a tragic battlefield, hundreds of corpses fell to the ground, and the pungent smell of blood hit Sima Jin's nostrils.
In addition to this, dozens of men with weapons stood outside the city gates.
Behind them, a street was burning.
Sima Jin subconsciously raised the weapon in his hand, and at this time, someone in the crowd in front of Sima Jin spoke.
"Don't do it, your own people."
The words are full of old Qin accents.
Sima Jin was finally relieved, and immediately looked at the person who had just spoken.
"Quick, where is the Chu army camp located in the city?"
The man didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "The second and third sons come with me, and I will lead the way!"
Sima Jin was overjoyed, turned his head and gave an order: "Leave three hundred people here to guard the city gate, and the rest will follow!"
Just as Sima Jin rushed into the city gate and began to prepare for a big killing, countless torches lit up in all directions of Yingdu City at the same time.
Thousands of Qin troops shouted loudly, and under the light of the torches in their hands, they launched an attack on the Yingdu City in front of them.
The sky was reflected red by the countless fires, and the bright Yingdu City was extremely conspicuous in the darkness.
This scene was seen by the main general Wang Ling, who was located in the big tent of the Qin army.
A steady stream of information began to reach Wang Ling's ears.
"General, the vanguard general Sima Jin has broken into the Yingdu City!"
"General, the follow-up troops have entered the city from the north gate of Yingdu!"
"General, you are fighting fiercely with the defenders of Yingdu in the city!"
"General, the defenders of Yingdu City have been routed and are in pursuit!"
One good news after another came into Wang Ling's ears, making the originally serious face of the Qin State general begin to gradually show a smile.
According to the information investigated in advance, although there were more than 100,000 people in the city of Yingdu, there were only less than 10,000 defenders.
Before the Qin army broke through the city, these 110,000 soldiers and civilians were able to resist the attack of Wang Ling with their tenacious willpower, but after the extremely elite Qin army entered the city to start a white-knuckle battle, no matter how many more people were in front of these well-trained and well-equipped elites of the Qin State, it was just a joke.
Looking at the billowing smoke and the flames rising from the Yingdu City, the smile on the corner of Wang Ling's mouth became more and more intense.
Yingdu, after tonight, will once again become the territory of Qin!
