Chapter 508 Night Attack on Xijing City

The night is shrouded, insects and birds are singing, and the Datong River is surging and the river is rattling.

During the second watch, Su Yanqing wore armor and a sword, and took six guards to the city tower where the Datong River passed through the night, personally inspected the battle situation on the front line, and determined the movement of the Silla army.

In the dead of night, the patrols in the castle tower were unabated, but the sleepy soldiers were already listless, and there was no trace of the energetic attitude of dusk.

Returning to the upper reaches of the Datong River, many tiger soldiers gathered in the grass have woken up, some are sorting out their soldiers, and some are replenishing their strength.

By the hazy moonlight, Su Yanqing moved the infantry to the center and said in a low voice: "Pass Ben Zhonglang's order, all the soldiers stand up bravely, check the soldiers, and prepare to take a sheepskin raft and touch into Xijing City with Ben Zhonglang."

Ordered, the soldier who had woken up, pushed the sleepy soldier next to him with his elbow, hurriedly got up, carried a saber, was an iron tire bow and arrow box, cat waist, and quietly approached the sheepskin raft at the edge of the Datong River.

On the way, Su Yanqing said to the lieutenant next to him: "According to Ben Zhonglang's instructions, you will personally lead more than ten elites to take a sheepskin raft and take the lead in destroying the wooden fence under the city tower, if you succeed in sending out the signal."

"Su Zhonglang rest assured, the villain has prepared the equipment, and he will not let Zhonglang wait," Du Wei did not stay for long, and had to order the ten strong men next to the sound of the summoning voice, shuttling through the Tiger Ben army, and hurriedly erasing the Datong River.

Soon, in the Datong River, there were already tiger ben troops riding sheepskin rafts, like drifting and falling leaves in the torrent, let the river hit, and approached the Xijing City along the Dalala River.

On the side of the Datong River, the 10,000 tiger soldiers on standby, under Su Yanqing's orders, boarded the ship in an orderly manner, like hundreds of boats competing for the current, like carp crossing the dragon gate, taking a sheepskin raft, and 10,000 soldiers were brave and silent.

With the sound of the river in her ears, Su Yanqing walked forward from the sheepskin raft in the river, standing at the front end of the sheepskin raft, looking up and watching the change in the direction of the Xijing City Tower.

Fearing that the 10,000 tiger army and hundreds of sheepskin rafts would march along the river, arousing the vigilance of the Silla army, and from the beginning of the battle of the forward army, the night attack plan went bankrupt.

Fortunately, thanks to God's mercy, the sky was dark, and when it was about to dawn, the Silla army in the castle tower was even more tired and listless, not to mention, many guards dozed off with their spears, and the patrol order of the patrols in the corridor of the castle tower was reduced.

Looking at it, Su Yanqing was worried about the decrease in her heart, but she still cheered up, whispered to the soldiers in front of her, unloaded the iron tire bow, mounted the arrows, and was ready to fight at any time.

The murmuring river flowed, and the commander of the front end took ten tiger soldiers to the bottom of the city on a sheepskin raft and shuttled into the doorway.

These prepared soldiers grabbed a huge vice, and the pincers clamped the tiger's mouth to the thick wooden fence on their arms, and the two of them worked together to easily cut the wooden fence.

A long row of wooden fences, like a line of infantry, when the river rattled, was gradually cut off by the lieutenant waiting for the tiger army.

For a while, the suspended and broken wooden fence, like a tiger with its claws cut off, was no longer a threat.

The lieutenant led the tiger army, drove the sheepskin raft into the door hole thoroughly, and learned the frog barking by the river, and there was a croaking sound in the door hole.

With this, the lieutenant took out the fire fold and quickly lit it, and drew three arcs in a row in the door hole.

In the distance, Su Yanqing noticed the faint fire in the doorway, and was secretly happy, and noticed that half of the head of the Silla army at the head of the city was sticking out of the city, looking at the river outside, and soon, there was a long spear and a nap.

"It seems that the prince chose the right time to attack, and the Silla army is tired and has much slackened vigilance."

Su Yanqing sighed secretly while whispering an order, preparing all the Tiger Ben Army to operate the sheepskin raft and quickly move towards the Xijing City.

In an instant, the wide Datong met, and all the tiger soldiers put away the wooden pulp, lay down in the sheepskin raft, and let the sheepskin raft flow down the river.

The sheepskin rafts, as if mixed with the leaves in the river, slowly and slowly in the turbulence of the river, one by one touched into the city.

Those who were the first to enter the city, far away from the city tower, operated with wooden pulp, looked for a shoal to land, dragged the sheepskin raft up the river bank, and hid all next to the Datong River, in the turquoise reeds.

Outside the city, Su Yanqing noticed that there was no movement of the Silla army in the city tower, and there was no shouting of killing in the city, and the stones hanging in her heart gradually fell.

Squatted down, lay on the sheepskin raft, and the tiger army next to him, with the help of the power of the river, quickly blended into the Xijing City.

More and more tiger troops broke into the city and quickly assembled in the reeds, about a cup of tea, and the 10,000 tiger troops under Su Yanqing's tent had all assembled in the reeds.

At this time, the three governors under Su Yanqing's tent quickly assembled in the reeds and moved closer to Su Yanqing.

Gathering with Su Yanqing, a Zhonglang general reminded with a strong fighting spirit: "Zhonglang, we have already mixed into Xijing City, we should kill Ximen!"

"That's right, you should quickly kill the west gate and welcome the general into the city, but before seizing the west gate, it is best to have someone bring five hundred elite soldiers to light fires in the three key places in the west into the city, such as the official office, the granary, and the armory.

"Zhonglang, the villain is willing to take five hundred tigers to go!" There is a famous lieutenant, please Ying.

Su Yanqing looked at it, bowed her head slightly, and said, "Okay, you take five hundred tigers to act, you must be cautious, seize the city, let's drink and talk."

The lieutenant didn't say much, and after clasping his fists and saluting, he turned around and led five hundred elites into the tiger camp under the tent, like a night owl quietly leaving the reeds.

Seeing the other party leave, a lieutenant pushed aside the reeds beside him, stared at the Silla army in the city in the distance, noticed that there was nothing unusual about the other party, turned to Su Yanqing, and said, "Zhonglang, the Silla army has not noticed that we have mixed into the city, let's act!"

"The defense of the castle tower is weak, and the Silla army is stationed at the four gates, but when the battle starts, Huyan Zhonglang still has to lead troops into the city, so the Silla army near the castle tower must be defeated." Su Yanqing looked vigilant and said softly: "Ben Zhonglang personally led three thousand tiger troops to quietly kill the city tower, and strive to kill the defenders in the city tower silently, and welcome Huyan Zhonglang to lead the troops into the city.

However, it is difficult to predict whether it will be completed according to the plan, and if the Silla army notices, you must kill from the reeds, block the scattered Silla army from approaching, and Merge with Huyan Zhonglang, and then we will personally kill to the west gate."

"Zhonglang rest assured, the villain doesn't dare to be sloppy!" The remaining two lieutenants gave up, knowing very well that when Hu Yanzhuo did not lead the troops into the city, they were in Xijing City, and they were still in danger.

Su Yanqing did not stay in the reeds for a long time, and led the three thousand tigers to quickly go to the city tower.

Although the number of Silla troops in the city tower was small, Su Yanqing did not want to make any disclosures, hoping that Hu Yanzhuo would break into Xijing City safe and sound before the Silla army knew about it.

After all, with 10,000 tigers alone, he might be able to hit the Silla army by surprise, but he couldn't achieve victory, but he joined Huyanzhuo and had 20,000 tigers, but Su Yanqing was confident that he would succeed in opening the west gate.

The 3,000 Tiger Ben army left the reeds and marched along the edge of the Datong River, and soon arrived at the bottom of the city tower.

In the process, Su Yanqing slowly drew out her saber, led the knife out of the sheath, and the soldiers with the arrows were wound, and walked quickly towards the city tower.

"Who?" When he was about to approach the stairs of the city tower, the Silla army, who was napping next to him, still noticed the traces of Su Yanqing and his party, and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Su Yanqing did not hesitate, striding like an angry tiger, raising his knife and slashing, shouting: "I am your uncle!"

With a swing of the sharp horizontal knife, the guard died tragically on the spot, and his body fell into Yin Hong's blood.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack."

The guards in the city tower, someone noticed that the three thousand tigers led by Su Yanqing were drinking wildly in the city tower.

In an instant, the Silla army napping in the city tower was awake in the hurried shouting, and when they grabbed the soldiers and looked in all directions, although they had not yet witnessed Su Yanqing and the others, they had already heard the sound of killing coming from the steps.

The guard of the city tower strode out of the city entrance with a sword, and shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Still stunned, hurry up and beat the drum to deliver the news."

After that, the guards did not dare to be a little sloppy, and gathered their troops loudly and quickly headed towards the steps of the castle tower.

At this moment, he didn't know how many Dandong troops had mixed into the city, and he desperately hoped that he could lead his troops and defenders to eradicate them.

Otherwise, if enough Silla troops led the troops into the castle tower, they might not wait for the main army to arrive, and they would all have become the ghosts of the Dandong saber.

In the midst of the hurry, Su Yanqing rushed up the corridor from the steps with an arrow step, grabbed the horizontal knife and blocked the soldiers beside him.

He was like a queen bee queen, after rushing out alone, there were many followers behind him, and he was fierce and slaughtered in the corridor of the city tower.

The guard general witnessed Su Yanqing leading the Dandong army to kill quickly, according to the speed of the other party's advance, there seemed to be tens of thousands of Dandong troops under the city tower, and in an instant, the defenders were a little wilted, as if the frost hit the eggplant and looked panicked and scared.

He only had 1,000 soldiers under his tent to guard the waterway, and most of the troops in the city were concentrated in the other four gates, but he did not expect the Dandong army to use the waterway as the breakthrough direction and form a suppressive posture against the Silla army in terms of numbers.

The guard didn't dare to hesitate, and rushed towards Su Yanqing with a knife, shouting: "Thief, you dare to attack Xijing City at night, the general will kill you."

"I can't help myself!"

Su Yanqing lifted the knife forward, went up, the front end of the horizontal knife drooped on the ground, and collided with the ground in the process, splashing bursts of sparks.

He suddenly turned around and shouted, "Brothers, quickly eradicate the defenders in the aisle and send a signal to Huyan Zhonglang."

After speaking, Su Yanqing ignored the soldiers behind him, jumped up and struck a serial knife, and slashed at the guards mercilessly.

With a bang, the two sharp knives collided, and Su Yanqing and the deputy general's body passed by.

Trying out the strength of the other party, Su Yanqing did not hesitate, and her body was unstable and she had already turned around again with a knife to kill.

In an instant, they fought for each other's lives!

The battle inside the city tower sounded, and inside and outside the city tower, it was also in full swing.

Outside the city, Hu Yanzhuo heard the sound of battle in the city, and without hesitation, he led the 10,000 tiger army, quickly rode down the river on a sheepskin raft, and hurried to the western capital.

Su Yanqing led the Tiger Ben Army to open the way, Hu Yanzhuo led the troops forward, and the first floor was unimpeded.

Soon, there were already elite forwards hurriedly breaking into the city, and the soldiers in the rear were like relay runners, one by one constantly breaking into the west into the city.

Hu Yanzhuo led the troops forward without cowering, broke into the city, and immediately led the troops to the head of the city to kill, galloping to the aid of Su Yanqing.

For a while, at the tower of Xijing City, the flames of war were pervasive, the sound of killing fluctuated, and the sound of violent killing covered the sound of the Datong River and broke the quiet night sky.

At the same time, in the city tower, the rumbling war drums sounded one after another, mixed with the sound of killing, and spread all over the world.

In the Xijing City Mansion, Jin Wuda was tossed and turned at night due to the pain all over his body, and he was often stimulated by the pain in his sleep to wake up.

Not long ago, Jin Wuda woke up again stimulated by the pain, and he was sleepy for a while, skimming his thin shirt, walking to the desk, picking up the teapot and pouring tea, drinking tea to quench his thirst.

After a cup of warm tea, Jin Wuda got up and was about to go back to sleep, when suddenly, in the night sky, there were bursts of military drums.

Jin Wuda stopped and listened, determined the source of the sound, it was indeed the sound of the snare drum, put on a thin shirt, rushed out of the bedroom, and asked the guards outside, "Where did the snare drum sound come from?"

"Dashuai, the villain will check it immediately!"

When the guards heard this, they were very puzzled, but without the slightest hesitation, they bowed slightly to Jin Wuda and left quickly.

Jin Wuda stood outside the dormitory, instructed another guard to bring his armor, changed his clothes, and grabbed Bing Ge and leaned against the door of the dormitory.

Suddenly there were bursts of snare drums in the night, and in the fierce snare drums, there seemed to be a slight killing sound, although the source of the sound had not yet been investigated, Jin Wuda was already faintly uneasy in his heart, and had a bad premonition.

From Wei Jiyan, Yan Yuefeng led the troops to defeat the 100,000 Silla army outside Xijing, in recent days, the Dandong army has not yet shown any signs of fighting in Xijingcheng, and the two sides are in a state of peace and quiet in a short time.

In his spare time, Jin Wuda even hoped that Chen Youkun would successfully arrive at the Xi clan and successfully lobbied the Yuwen family, and when Silla was in danger, the Yuwen family led elite soldiers to relieve the siege.

Chen Youkun did not return, Yuwen's house was nowhere to be seen, but there were bursts of military drums outside the city.

Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come, Jin Wuda is worried that Yang Yue will attack the Dandong army at night.

In silence, the guards hurriedly returned, staring at Jin Wuda panting, and stammering, "Big... Handsome... The Dandong army from the Datong River city tower, into the west of the city, the direction of the city tower is in flames. Murderous intent is pervasive."

"How is this possible, Yang Yue doesn't have any warships under his command, how can it be possible to pass through the Datong River and break into Xijing City, didn't they fly in?" When Jin Wuda heard this, he didn't believe the guard's words at all.

Before fighting Yang Yue, even when he had just led his troops from Dugi Province to Xijing City, he had already sent soldiers to investigate the situation of Yang Yue's soldiers in detail.

Although Yang Yue's tent was fierce, Yang Yue's army, including the Dandong area, did not have any decent ships at all, let alone warships used for combat.

At the beginning, he left a thousand defenders at the Datong River Tower, which was to make sure that Yang Yue had no boats under his tent and it was impossible to cross the river.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yue's soldiers under the tent went from the weakest place in his defense to enter the Xijing City.

At this time, the guard looked very firm, and said: "Dashuai, the villain doesn't dare to lie, the Dandong army did kill from the city tower, and judging from the voice from the north, the number of Dandong troops who broke into the west and entered the city is extremely large, and the city tower is afraid to be lost, and the marshal has already made plans."
