Chapter 592: Robbing the Law Field (4)
Late at night, more than a dozen black shadows were sweating and digging at the base of the city wall.
From the dark began to quietly touch the root of the city wall to dig, until late at night, and finally dug a large hole at the foot of the city wall, the hole can accommodate one person to enter, but the hole is very large, can accommodate seven or eight people.
Every moment on the wall, a patrol party passed by, and the shadows digging the cave lay dormant until the patrol team left, and then began to intensify their work.
Guo Yi walked around the hole at the foot of the city wall with an oil lamp and said to the people around him; "Alright, let them bring their stuff and pile it in the hole!"
"Yes!"
A long springboard was erected on the moat, and a black shadow outside the city walked quickly with a backpack on his back, and the gangplank came to the base of the city wall, walked into the cave, and piled up boxy packages in the hole.
In addition to this, holes were also dug under the other three walls, and bundles of explosives were stacked in the holes, and after the explosives were piled up, the leads were wrapped in tarpaulins and pulled out.
Towards dawn, the openings under the four walls were restored and buried, with only some fresh earth residue remaining.
The shadows withdrew one after another, and the gangplanks on the moat were also removed and thrown into the water to cover them with waterweeds close to the river, and at this time, a nimble and agile black shadow quietly climbed the city wall with a rope and an iron hook, carrying a large jar on his back.
After dawn, some craftsmen came to the urn city of Chengguang Gate, and some soldiers used carts and wood, and the craftsmen began to use wood to execute the execution table and the prison beheading platform, the execution table was for the prisoners, and the prison beheading table was for the prison officials.
In less than an hour, the two platforms were erected by the craftsmen, who were quickly gathered and taken away, but no one noticed that two of the craftsmen were missing.
Around the end of the day, the defenders were removed from the city wall of Chengguang Gate, and a new group of soldiers took over, this army of about 1,000 people, of which 500 were deployed on the surrounding walls and towers, and another 500 were hidden, all of whom had bows and crossbows and arrows.
Just when the urn city of Chengguang Gate was busy, outside the mansion at the entrance of the secret passage leading from the city to the outside of the city, Princess Yuling took a few spies from the Egret Division to the opposite side of a big tree.
"Princess, this is it!" An obscene-looking bastard whispered to Princess Yuling.
After listening to this, Yu Ling looked at the mansion opposite and asked, "Are you sure that the entrance to the secret passage is in this mansion?" ”
"Yes, it's definitely here, as for where the exit is, the villain doesn't know, the master didn't say it!"
Yu Ling nodded, and instructed the spies beside him: "If the people of our Egret Division don't do it, go and notify the city guards and let them do it, and when they solve the people inside and control the situation, we will go in again!" ”
"Yes!" The spy agreed, turned and walked into the alley next to him and whistled loudly.
After the whistle sounded, a large number of soldiers poured out of the alley, led by a general, and rushed into the house, and soon there was a shout of killing and the sound of weapons clashing, and it stopped after half a sound.
"Let's go, let's go in!" Seeing that the battle in the house was over and the city guards had taken control of the situation, Princess Yuling immediately came over with the spies of the White Egret Division.
The entrance to the secret passage was quickly found, and under the order of Yu Ling, the general took three hundred people to guard the entrance of the secret passage, and she entered the secret passage with the spies of the White Egret Division.
After walking for two moments, Princess Yuling and the others walked to the end of the secret passage, and when they got out of the exit of the secret passage, they found that this was a village outside the city, not very far from the city wall, only a few miles.
"Who?" The two guards guarding the exit had just peed, and when they came back, they found a stranger coming out of the secret passage, and immediately rushed up with a shout.
"Up!" Princess Yuling didn't want to have a direct conflict with Zhao Junsheng's people, just like the house where the entrance to the secret passage was raided this time, she used the people of the city guards, if she angered Zhao Junsheng, there would naturally be a city guard top tank, but this time it was broken by Zhao Junsheng's people on the spot, so she had to kill people.
The two guards did not withstand the attack of a dozen Egret spies, and they were both killed after holding up a cup of tea in front of them.
"Chief, my subordinates have just investigated, there should have been many horses in this village, there are not only many horseshoe prints on the ground, but also a lot of fresh horse manure, and the direction in which the horseshoe prints left seems to be in the direction of the East City Gate!"
"In the direction of the East City Gate?" Princess Yulin was stunned for a moment, "Isn't that the direction of Chengguang Gate?" Are they going to break down the city directly from outside the city and go in to save people? How is this possible? ”
A spy next to him said to Yuling: "Chief, my subordinates think that they should go to the direction of Chengguang Gate to pick up, and the real action should start from inside the city, and then leave from the city wall, after all, after saving people, they generally don't run into the city, they can only run outside the city!" ”
Princess Yuling's eyes gradually lit up when she heard this, she thought about it for a while, took out a gold medal, handed it to one of her subordinates, and ordered: "You take this gold medal and quickly return to the city, and the Yulin army will transfer a thousand cavalry out of the city······
Chengguang door.
As noon approached, the prison officer arrived, and before she sat down and drank a cup of tea on the prison beheading platform, Mulan was escorted by hundreds of cavalry, and she was standing in the prisoner car, the roof of which was a large wooden flail, only her head and hands were exposed.
This time, Mulan did not wear a cape, but combed her men's hair in a bun, her face was a lot thinner, and her mental state was acceptable.
The prisoner cart was escorted by the cavalry through the inner tower of the urn city, and soon stopped, and several soldiers carried heavy iron chains and walked over to put Mulan hands and feet back on the chains, and then opened the wooden flail and the prisoner cart to let her walk down from the prisoner cart.
At this moment, thick smoke suddenly rose from the inner tower of the urn city.
"Oh no, it's on fire, it's on fire, come and put out the fire!" The soldiers on the tower of the city shouted one by one and ran around in a panic.
The supervisor who was on the platform saw the fire and smoke in the inner city tower, Huo Ran stood up: "What's the matter, why did it suddenly catch fire?" Start the fire in the morning, don't fire in the evening, but the fire starts at this time, there must be a problem! This must be the ghost of the gangsters who want to rob the Dharma Field! The order goes down, everyone is on strict alert and strictly guards their posts! ”
A general next to him asked, "Master Hou, are we just watching the city tower being burned down?" If this tower is burned down, it will cost a lot of financial and material resources to rebuild it! ”
Just when the castle tower caught fire and attracted the attention of everyone in the urn city, several wet figures quietly appeared in the moat outside the city, and these people quietly erected the gangplanks hidden by the river and crossed the moat, a total of ten thick gangplanks, enough for three cavalry to gallop side by side.
The sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from outside the city, and the soldiers on the city wall immediately noticed that a group of cavalry was riding quickly towards the moat in the distance.
It was only then that someone discovered that the moat had been paved with rows of gangplanks that formed a wide bridge.
What if there were these springboards? What if the cavalry outside the city rushed across the moat? Could they have ridden up the walls?
"Quick, light the fuse!" A soaking guard in the moat ordered.
One of the guards took out a fire fold and pulled off the lid and blew it, revealing a red flame that burned the lead.
I saw that the lead was ignited and made a "whoosh" sound, burning extremely fast.
"Quick, cover your ears and open your mouth!" The chief gave orders to the soldiers according to the method taught by Zhao Junsheng.
After nearly half a minute or so, there was a loud "boom", and the mountains shook suddenly, whether it was the guards hiding in the water, or the soldiers and generals in the urn city, all of them were dizzy by the sound of the explosion, and the soldiers and generals in the city were defenseless, and for a while people turned their backs and horses.
A section of the city wall of nearly 20 meters close to the moat collapsed directly, revealing a huge gap, dozens of soldiers on the city wall were directly shattered, many other soldiers were stunned, and some people's heads kept buzzing, and they couldn't recover for half a day.
"Boom, boom, boom" followed by five huge explosions in a row, and all four walls of the city were blown out of a huge gap, and almost all the defenders on the city wall were overturned.
Not only that, but there was a big explosion in the prison beheading platform and the place where the soldiers were standing, and the warden and countless soldiers were killed on the spot, and countless people were injured.
At this moment, Zhao Junsheng led his personal guards and cavalry through the gangplank on the moat, and rushed in by stepping on the pile of rocks at the gap in the city wall.
"Kill—" the guards shouted, their swords in one hand and their crossbows in the other.
Whoosh ······ A series of crossbow arrows were fired, and after the explosion, some of the soldiers were shot down as soon as they staggered to their feet.
"Mulan!" Zhao Junsheng saw Hua Mulan, who was dressed in prison clothes, squatting on the ground, her hands covered tightly with iron chains, and she was obviously frightened by the series of explosions just now.
Hua Mulan faintly heard Zhao Junsheng's voice calling her, she stood up and turned her head to look, and saw Zhao Junsheng galloping over, with a smile on her face, and shouted: "Brother Junsheng!" ”
"Mulan!" Zhao Junsheng shouted and galloped over, he stopped his horse, rushed to Mulan and hugged her.
"Brother Junsheng!"
The two hugged each other, but this is not a place to stay for a long time, Zhao Junsheng sobered up in time and stabilized his mood, he separated from Mulan, pulled out the war knife on his waist and slashed with a swing, and the dozens of pounds of iron chains and anklets in Mulan's hands were cut off.
"Let's go, let's get out of here first!"
"Hmm!"
Zhao Junsheng pulled Hua Mulan and let her get on the horse first, then kicked on his feet, flew on the horse, pulled the reins, and blew a loud whistle, "Withdraw—"
Led by Zhao Junsheng, the guards escorted him and Hua Mulan to escape from the gap in the city wall before the imperial soldiers could recover from a series of explosions.
After they left, there was a wailing sound in the urn city, and after a long time, many people's heads were confused, and their hearing had not yet returned to normal.
Zhao Junsheng led his guards to beat horses and gallop in the direction of the Flying Fox.
After running for less than a moment, a cavalry suddenly appeared in front of him to block the way.
Zhao Junsheng did not slow down, no matter who was in front of him, and no matter how many troops these cavalry had, it was impossible for him to stop, or turn around or turn, he would only die faster.
He raised his hand and made a gesture, and the cavalry behind him all showed their bows and crossbows and aimed them at the front, and gradually approached to form a sharp arrow formation as they galloped.
"Shoot the arrows!" Zhao Junsheng roared.
"Whoosh ······"
"Whoosh ······" Arrows were also shot from the opposite side.
The advantages of the continuously fired crossbows were reflected, but Zhao Junsheng and his guards shot five rounds, and the Xianbei cavalry who rushed over to intercept on the opposite side only shot one round.
"Brother Junsheng, it seems to be Princess Yuling!" Hua Mulan, who was sitting in the back, hugged Zhao Junsheng's waist tightly and reminded loudly.
"See!"
Zhao Junsheng responded loudly, hit the horse and rushed towards Yuling, the spear in his hand shook, and nine spear flowers flashed at the same time.
With a "poof", Princess Yuling lost consciousness.
