Chapter 178: Into the City
The goshawk waited anxiously under the city, the hand holding the whip in his hand sweaty. Now that his situation is very dangerous, Kim Eun has gone up to the city wall. God knows if he can say that the defenders are in full range of that kind of crossbow at this point.
Everyone had a small shield on their backs, and whenever they saw that something was wrong, they would immediately turn their horses around and run back.
Kim has been up for a long time, but there is still no movement on the city wall. The drawbridge was pulled half-high, and the people on the castle tower were silent. All of them show an eerie calm.
Suddenly, there was chaos in the city, and the goshawk immediately took off his shield and protected it in front of him. At the same time, he raised his eyes and looked at the city wall, and there seemed to be the sound of a fight on the city wall.
"Ahh A sharp scream pierced the night sky with an epilogue, and a pitch-black figure fell from the tall city wall.
"Poof", the water splashed in the moat. After a short while, a head surfaced. "Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh" crossbow arrows were fired on the city wall, and more than a dozen arrows were in the body of the person in the water. Seeing is no longer alive.
"Lord Eagle, look at the fire on the city wall." One of the guards pointed to the excitement of the city wall.
According to the prior agreement, if Kim Jong-eun occupied the city gate. A fire will be lit, and the goshawks guarding the city will be the first wave to occupy the gates. If it's correct, the goshawk will light another pile on the edge of that fire. Yun Xiao only saw the two fires before he led his men and horses to rush into the Great King City.
"Rata la la" was the sound, and the heavy suspension bridge was lowered again. This time, though, the sound of a huge winch rang out. Then. The heavy dragon breaker was lifted. The heavy gates were also opened almost at the same time.
"Brothers, up. They are all careful, and after entering, they will first guard the city gates, and these people do not know their intentions, and if there is any abnormal movement, they will be killed first. â
The goshawk put down his small protective shield and drew his saber and glanced behind him. He ran towards the drawbridge with his people, and when he passed the moat, he could see the floating corpses in the water rushing in the moat.
Fifty horsemen galloped across the suspension bridge with the carriage escorting it, and the carriage stopped below the Broken Dragon Gate. The carriage was filled with gunpowder, which the goshawk would ignite as soon as the situation was not right.
A cart full of gunpowder. Even the bronze dragon gate can jump through a gap. Not to mention the wooden gates. Yun Xiao is a red heart and prepared with both hands. As long as this fully loaded carriage travels under the Broken Dragon Gate, today's events can be described as half the battle.
"A few of you guard the carriage, and the rest of me will go up to the tower." After the goshawk finished speaking, he ran onto the road first.
The walls of the Great King City were six zhang wide, and the goshawk followed the road up the city walls. The route was filled with soldiers from the Great King City. But the soldiers didn't seem to see them. Let these people run up the walls under their noses.
The goshawk was the first to storm the wall. I saw Kim Eun standing on the edge of the winch with a gray-haired old man. Dozens of corpses lay beside them. Under the light of the torches, the soldiers of the Great King City bowed their bows and unsheathed their knives, as if they were ready to fight at any time.
Seeing this, the goshawk couldn't help but cheer up a little more. led his subordinates to Kim Eun's side. The guard beside him asked, "Can the prince get things done?" â
"The matter has been settled here, and my uncle has promised to help the Hou Ye attack the palace together. The general can let Marquis Yun's army in. Kim said proudly. Anyway, this is also his team. Let these Han people see their influence in Dawangcheng.
"Let him get some firewood and light another one on the edge of the fire." When the goshawk saw that there was nothing unusual on it, he ordered the guards.
Soon a second fire was lit on the tower of the West City, and it could be seen clearly from ten miles away.
"Master Hou, the second fire is lit." Dai Yu pointed to the fire path on the city wall in the distance.
"All of us, remember to kill those who attack us when you enter the city. Tonight is extremely dangerous, and the slightest mistake is the end of death and no life. â
Yun Xiao's face was pale, and tonight's action was very risky. If you can't occupy the palace in Shun LĂŹ, use Kim Negative En to control the power. Then all that awaits him is to be caught in the urn, and none of these 3,000 people want to get out of the Great King City alive.
Three thousand people rushed towards the Great King City like a lightning speed, and the goshawk held the winch tightly on the city wall. This is Yun Xiao's strict order, and these winches are in charge of the suspension bridge and the broken dragon gate. These are the things that are going to be taken over by the goshawk in the first place.
Fifty guards surrounded several winches, and this winch was their life.
The sound of rolling horses' hooves sounded under the city wall, and none of the Yun family's guards looked back. Their eyes were fixed on the defenders of the Great King City on the city walls, as long as someone moved slightly. The goshawk will shoot it.
Yun Xiao led the guards into the city gate like a tide, and Jin Zhien had already taken Zhang Zhecheng to guard the door. The soldiers and horses of Dawangcheng lined up on both sides, and according to the prior discussion, the soldiers and horses of Dawangcheng tied a white strip of cloth on their left arm to show their distinction.
Seeing Yun Xiao coming in, Jin Zhien pulled Zhang Zhecheng forward. He gave a Han salute to Yun Xiao: "Master Yun, this is my uncle." His name is Zhang Zhecheng, and he is the Sima of the city guarding the west gate. Now he is willing to join Jin Mou and make a great career with the same plan. â
Kim Eun's face was a little smug, how to say that he also had his own team. It seems that he has the capital to bargain with Yun Xiao.
"Well, Sima Zhang is a person who can take care of the overall situation and understands the general situation. Ben Hou will be on the table to protect Zhang Sima, and the rest will be talked about in his spare time. Now ask Prince Jin to lead the way, and we will go straight to the palace. â
At this time, time is the most urgent, and the fire on the city wall can be seen. Naturally, the other people in the Great King City could also see it, and presumably the palace was still on guard at this time. If it is delayed any longer, Jin Yingri abandons the palace and flees, then there will be many variables.
Two carriages were pulled to the gates, and two giants, one large and one small, dressed in full-body plate armor, disembarked from the carriages. Zhang Zhecheng's eyes widened when he saw these two giants, even the one who was one size smaller. It is also more than a foot high, and the pure steel spear in his hand is like a poisonous dragon. A cold glow in the moonlight.
And the one that is bigger is even more terrifying, this guy with a hideous face armor doesn't look down on his face. Wounded carrying two huge battle axes, not to mention splitting people. Even if it is smashed, it can easily smash people to half death. I've lived most of my life, and I've never seen such a weirdo.
"Uncle don't panic, there are countless capable people under Yun Houye. These two are the pioneers of this evening, to speak to the brethren. Stay away from them when you fight, otherwise it won't be good if you get hurt by mistake. â
When Kim saw Zhang Zhecheng's appearance, he hurriedly said something. He didn't want Yun Xiao to look down on his men.
"Oh, oh...... Good. I'm here to warn them. Zhang Zhecheng arched his hand at Yun Xiao, and hurriedly issued a warning to his subordinates.
Yun Xiao waved his hand, and Manniu and Gong Along rushed out like two arrows. The brute bull hadn't participated in a bloody slaughter for a long time, and now he was excited when he smelled blood in his nose.
The heavy combat boots "clicked" on the bluestone paved road, and Gong Along next to him was obviously compared to him. Whether it is strength or agility, it seems that it is one level worse than the brute bull. The two arrows presented a configuration one after the other, and the Yun family guards followed by the bows and arrows in their hands.
Thanks to the successive expansions, the streets of Dawangcheng are very wide. Two such giants walked on it, and there was still a big gap in between. The group had just run out of a block, and suddenly a large group of people came in front of them.
These people were all infantrymen, and I saw them holding bright blades in their hands. The edge of the blade emitted a little cold light in the moonlight, and it was a real thing to see from a distance.
The two sides discovered each other almost at the same time, but the Yun family's guards used bows. And those infantry are using crossbows, and it is definitely too late to pull the crossbow strings now.
The sound of bowstrings crackled, and the arrows shot like locusts at the soldiers of the Great King's City. Many of the soldiers who were still hanging the strings fell in response, and the soldiers of the Great King City suddenly became chaotic. Some people want to go back, but the people behind rush forward.
Before the chaos could end, a second wave of arrows rained down. The soldiers in the front row suddenly fell into a large area, and at this time, Manniu and Gong Along also rushed up.
The bull seemed to be particularly excited, and a soldier from the Great King City wanted to retreat. But there are people behind him, and he can't retreat at all. The Brute Bull rushed forward with a big stride, the huge Viking battle axe slashing vertically. With a "click", the tomahawk sank into the soldier's body.
The massive Viking tomahawk severed the soldier's backbone, behind the soft entrails. Several more ribs were cut open and peeked through the soldier's chest.
The bull flung the Viking tomahawk sideways, and the corpse was thrown out horizontally. The other soldier, who was desperately squeezing backwards, was knocked down in an instant.
The soldier was just about to get up, but a pair of huge feet were on his back. The sound of the sternum shattering rang out, and the soldier spat out a piece of pink viscera out of his mouth. Blood spurted out of the guts at once, and it was chilling to look at.
As if they had seen a ghost, the soldiers of the Great King City pulled back. At the same time, on the other side of the street, Gong Along, wielding a spear, had already killed four or five soldiers of Dawangcheng.
The soldiers of this thousand kings saw the fire at the west gate and went to the west gate to check. I didn't expect to encounter such a vicious opponent on the streets of Dawang City.
Before the generals at the head could give orders, they were chopped off their horses with an axe from the bull. The big foot stepped on the general's head, and a muffled "poof" sound sounded. The general's head was trampled to pieces, and the hard skull flew out of the distance with heat. (To be continued......)
