Chapter 1141: Snatching the City Gate
"Set up the defense!" Zhang Tiangang ordered. Now their task is only half completed, the really difficult task is still to come, or it has just begun, and they can hold until the arrival of Wang Junlin and the 10,000 cavalry leading the capture of the city, that is the time of real victory.
The members of the special combat team immediately got busy, and the city defense equipment that had been placed at the head of the city was pushed out, aimed at the direction of the city, twisted the bowstring, bundles of crossbow arrows were stacked aside, and several war knives and spears were placed beside each team member. The gates of the city were gently opened, and by this time, everything was ready, only the east wind was missing.
Zhang Tiangang stared at the south with wide eyes, Wang Junlin will lead more than 10,000 cavalry to attack from the south. Zhang Tiangang sat quietly in the corner of the wall, wiping his sword, his face calming down.
"Ready!" Zhang Tiangang ordered.
At this time, ten miles away, taking advantage of the darkness, scattered and infiltrated here, the more than 10,000 cavalry that had just been assembled were ready to go, Wang Junlin said sharply to the lieutenants Chi Jingde, Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba beside him: "Sneak to about five miles, and immediately launch a charge, remember, as fast as you can, the people of the special combat team can only hold on to a pillar of incense for us." Have you memorized them all? ”
"Remember!" The three of them replied excitedly in unison.
"Okay, check the equipment, shut up, horsetail, go!"
At a distance of five miles, a huge team of more than 10,000 cavalry could no longer conceal the formation, and with Wang Junlin's order, more than 10,000 cavalry destroyed the horse's hooves and quickly rushed forward, at this speed, it only took a pillar of incense to reach the city.
Occasionally, a soldier fell off his horse because he was unfamiliar with the terrain and his horse's hooves fell into a pit, but the large group of men and horses roared without stopping, and 40,000 horses' hooves trampled on the ground, making the ground tremble.
Pyongyang immediately boiled, alarm bells rang, countless soldiers rushed out of the hidden caves in panic, except for the silence of the southern gate, the other gates were lit up almost at the same time.
A city gate guard listened sleepily for a moment, his face changed greatly, and he said loudly: "Hurry up, sound the alarm, the enemy attack is coming from the south, the south gate!" ”
"Yes!" One of the soldiers said yes, quickly went down the city, and flew away.
"Leave half of the people behind, and the others will immediately follow me to support the South City Gate!" The guard shouted, raised his broadsword, and ran along the walls towards the southern gate.
Hearing the sound of galloping horses' hooves, Zhang Tiangang jumped up and shouted, "It's time, brothers, cut the ropes of the suspension bridge!" ”
The two special combat team masters who had been waiting by the sling for a long time rose and fell, and the drawbridge fell heavily with the sound of the wind, standing on the moat, and behind the drawbridge, the city gate was already open.
"Brothers, get ready to fight!" Zhang Tiangang shouted loudly.
In the corner of the wall, Zhang Tiangang stood up, put the sword at his waist, lifted a strong bow, twisted a sharp arrow with two fingers, wound it, squinted his eyes, and lined up dozens of feathered arrows at his feet.
……
……
Since the prime minister, Yuan Taizuo, defeated the million-strong army of the Great Sui and drove it away, these days, the lord of Pyongyang, Gao Jianwu, has been mixed with joys and sorrows, almost unable to sleep at night, tossing and turning, often worried that Yuan Taizuo will carry the power of a great victory, seek power and usurp the throne, and he and the royal family will be killed by Yuan Taizuo.
Gao Jianwu stared at the candle flame jumping but couldn't sleep, because when the alarm bell on the city wall rang and the shouts of killing in the city came, he heard it as soon as possible, and got up from the bed.
Then he saw a group of chamberlains and guards rushing towards him, with a look of panic on his face, "Your Majesty, the enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking!" ”
For a while, Gao Jianwu didn't even react, the enemy attacked, the enemy who came? But the tremor of the ground immediately made him react, and the earth-shattering shouts in the distance allowed him to clearly distinguish the direction in which the enemy was coming, and to the south, there was only Annan County, which was occupied by the Great Sui Qin Angong Junlin.
Suddenly, Gao Jianwu's mind was blank, four days ago, after repeated hesitation and struggle, he sent 20,000 troops from Kyoto and nearby to Annam County to rescue, why did it only take four days for the enemy to appear in Pyongyang? Is Lee Kwang Sheng's waste already defeated?
And the enemy turned out to be a night attack on the city.
"Order, all the troops in the city, as well as the guards and warriors, go to the southern city." Gao Jianwu gave the most correct order at the first time, but I don't know how much of a role it can play in a hurry.
Li Dongmu, the guard of the east gate of the city who first found that the south city was wrong, he reacted unhappily, did not wait for Gao Jianwu's order, and directly ordered all the soldiers in the city on his side to march to the south city, he himself let go of his steps, and ran all the way to the south city, when there were still seven hundred steps away from the south city gate, he saw a scene that made him feel terrible, the wide suspension bridge smashed down heavily, and fell on the moat, and in the distance, countless torches were gathering into a fire dragon, rushing towards the south city gate.
"The southern gate has fallen into the hands of the enemy." Li Dongmu immediately came to a conclusion in his mind, "Attack, take back the south city gate." Li Dongmu waved his knife and shouted, and took the lead in killing the south city gate.
On the upper floor of the South City Gate, Zhang Tiangang steadily pulled the bowstring, and slowly moved with Li Dongmu's running figure, letting go, the sharp arrow made a whining sound, and flew towards Li Dongmu like lightning.
Almost subconsciously reacted, Li Dongmu waved his knife upward, and between the moments, Zhang Tiangang was bound to be smashed away with an arrow, the sharp arrow flew over his helmet, and the red cherry blossoms on the helmet were shot away, Li Dongmu's hair stood upside down, and he looked up at the city gate building suddenly, and the three black lines in front of him were almost connected into a straight line, flying straight towards him, such a fast arrow, this was his last reaction. With a thud in the chest, three arrows in the abdomen were hit in three places, and Li Dongmu fell to the sky with his back to the sky, and his body slammed heavily on the ground and remained motionless.
"General Lee is dead!" Li Dongmu's death caused a fluster, and the soldiers slowed down.
"Rush up and retake the South Gate, or everyone will die!" An adjutant general jumped out and brandished his weapon to direct the soldiers to rush to the south gate, but he only ran a few steps before he was shot by the condescending Zhang Tiangang again.
Zhang Tiangang turned around and ordered loudly: "Brothers, have you seen it, as long as you support a pillar of incense, Pyongyang will be ours, and after you go back, Lao Tzu will invite you to drink and visit the building." ”
The team members laughed loudly, although the battle is current, they are extremely easy, a pillar of incense, with their previous preparation and skills, it is not very difficult.
"Use the strong crossbow on the head of the Goguryeo city and shoot me to the densest place in the crowd!" Zhang Tiangang said loudly.
