Chapter 447: The Fall of the Night Attack on the Water Gate

Taking advantage of the double cover of night and the siege of the city, Dalle led a team of about 1,000 people to sneak quietly to the vicinity of the Water Gate.

As the saying goes, "the south ships and the north horses", although the northland aliens are superb in riding, they can't help but be stunned when they see the water, and Dalle is the same.

Directly stretched out his hand to recruit a henchman, pointed to the surface of the water, and ordered him to go into the water to test the depth of the water, the corners of the soldier's mouth twitched unconsciously, and he wanted to refuse, but since ancient times, he has been crushed to death by the rank of official, not to mention that he is just a small soldier, and he can only scold Dalle shamelessly in his heart at the same time, he reluctantly walked down.

The water in Shuiguan is not very deep, at least this soldier went into the water and walked a few steps, but it was only to his chest, but the middle night in the north was really cold, and even with this water was through the cold to the bone, this soldier went into the water for a while, and when he came up, his face was blue, his lips were white, and his whole body was involuntarily shivering.

Dalle glanced at him, and there was a trace of unbearability in his eyes, but he knew that this was not the time to have a woman's kindness, so he stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and shouted in a deep voice: "Why, are you cold? ”

The soldier was full of excitement, and quickly stood up straight, and replied with a hint of tremor in his voice: "General Hui, it's not cold!" ”

Dalle nodded approvingly, turned to look at the more than a thousand soldiers, stretched out his hand into the distance, and shouted in a deep voice: "The water is very cold, very cold, but in the distance, there are many of our robed brothers, who are using their lives and blood to cover our raid, if our raid fails, then more brothers will die, you tell me, are you willing!" ”

Those soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, none of them spoke, but their eyes were much more condensed than before, at least Dalle could not see fear and cowardice in their eyes, some were just fighting intent, he nodded with satisfaction, waved the big knife in his hand, and walked into the water at the moment, "Follow me!" ”

Dalle boosted the morale of his soldiers, and wanted to take the water pass in one go, his usage and practice are very positive, if it is replaced by most of the generals of Zhao and Song, I am afraid that this battle will definitely be opened from the water pass, so as to take Lu'an Prefecture.

But the bad thing is that the Taishou in Lu'an Prefecture is Lu Deng, and Lu Deng, also known as "Little Zhuge ", is a small Zhuge who is extremely good at defense, although in the offensive and defensive battles of the day, he was beaten by the Khitans and had to change his strategy and use the reserve in advance, but this does not mean that he used the military strength in other parts, especially the defensive force at the city gate.

Dalle didn't know what Lu Deng's arrangement was at the Water Gate, and instinctively thought that Lu Deng had transferred all the defensive forces at the Water Gate to the front to deal with the offensive of the Khitan horses, and his advance speed was unusually fast, and soon the wooden fence of the Water Gate had appeared in front of him.

"It's time for me to do this!" When Dalle saw the fence, he felt a burst of ecstasy, and was about to turn around and beckon the soldier to come forward, but he didn't want to hear the bell "Ding Lingling".

"What bastard didn't take down the bell on his body, isn't he afraid of alarming the Song Pig in the city?" Dalle scolded secretly, but he didn't take it to heart, after all, carrying a bell on his body is a normal thing for the Khitans, and when he made a move, he saw a few soldiers cross him and walk towards the fence.

Daller watched with joy as they walked along, and when they were about to face the fence, a few of the soldiers seemed to be a little shorter out of thin air, and as if they had stepped on the air, they disappeared directly, except for the felt hat and the small splash of water, as if there had never been any such people in the world.

Dalle couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he didn't know what was going on, but he quickly came back to his senses, gritted his teeth vigorously, beckoned again, and more than a dozen soldiers lined up and walked towards the fence, "This water gate is only five or six people wide, I don't believe you can still trap these more than ten people, even if you trap, it doesn't matter, Lao Tzu still has people......" Dalle gritted his teeth in his heart, thinking viciously.

Xu is his chatter took effect in the dark, these more than ten people obviously hesitated when they walked to the place where the soldiers had fallen before, but they still took that step after all, but their results were no different from before, except for the slight splash of water, and the felt hat on the water, where there was still a trace.

If the sky is bright at this moment, Dalle can see the red on the water, and if it is not so cold at the moment, so that everyone's nose can be used freely, maybe they can smell the faint blood in the air, but how can there be so many ifs on the battlefield, and it is exactly like this, that Dalle is crazy, brandishing the big knife in his hand, directing the soldiers to advance.

But where are those Khitan soldiers willing to step forward, the previous soldiers have already lost their traces in vain, and now if they want to step forward, will they also be so silent, because no one dares to step forward at all, but on the contrary, they are there to push the people around them, let them step forward to explore the way.

Dalle couldn't help but be furious, and pointed at the soldiers and shouted: "Fearful, can't you forget what you promised before?" The big knife in his hand did not stop, and he cut down the soldiers in front of him with one sword.

The disappearance of the previous soldiers only cast a shadow on their hearts, but now that the living people died in front of them, they immediately stopped pushing and shoving, and under the coercion of Dalle, they could only approach the past step by step.

Only this time they had not yet reached the position of the Water Gate, and there was a bang from nowhere, and the arrows were shot down from the top of the city.

If it is on land, no matter how dense the arrows at the head of the city are, there will eventually be soldiers who can escape and ascend to heaven, but in the water, especially after soaking in the water for a long time, these soldiers are already cold and weak, where can they still run, they can only watch the arrows penetrate their bodies.

There were also some soldiers who didn't care about the danger at the water gate, and under the stimulation of the desire to survive, they also ran to the fence, this time they did not fall directly as before, but seemed to have some cushion under their feet, and their bodies were firmly propped up.

Although the water gate was not large, and there were not many people to accommodate, at least they felt that they could not die, and while they were rejoicing there, they heard another bang, and more than ten spears suddenly stretched out from the gap in the fence, and stabbed them indiscriminately, and immediately stabbed all the soldiers who escaped under the arrows to death.

Dalle didn't have the bad luck of being killed by random arrows, he couldn't understand how the plan he came up with to attack the water gate would fail so completely, although dying on the battlefield is the highest honor for a general, but dying so unclearly how could he close his eyes.

The cold wind is still bitter, and the attack and defense of the front city wall continues, but the battle here at the Water Gate is a silent beginning and a silent end, only the bells that ring from time to time seem to witness this battle.
