Tongguan Guancheng, it was pitch black outside, and the heavy snow fell densely, as if to bury all the things on the ground, and the Yan soldiers on duty at night on the city wall were shivering from the cold, huddled together to keep each other warm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The thief weather is too weird, as soon as the snow falls at night, it doesn't stop, but it stops instantly at sunrise, and the sky is clear. ”

"Let's say we're unlucky, what if it's our turn to be on duty during the day......"

"Hey, don't complain, in case there is a Tang army attacking the city, you will look good!"

The little leader's scolding stopped the chaotic discussion in the city, but he was also shivering from the cold, and the paper clothes on his body couldn't stop the chill of the night. He stretched out his hands to his lips to warm up, and hurried down the road.

"I heard that the people who entered the customs are robbing a lot of money in the counties, but we are suffering here......

"What's the use of saying this, if you want to blame us, Tian Dashuai is not Sun Xiaozhe's cronies, and you can only drink wind and eat snow if you stay here!"

"I can't say that, Tongguan is the gateway to Guanzhong, let our Tian Dashuai guard here, which also shows that Sun Xiaozhe also has a high opinion of Dashuai. ”

At some point, the little leader returned to the city, and everyone looked at each other.

"Tian Dashuai sent Commander Li to lead 20,000 elites to Shaanzhou to protect the grain, and the troops in the city were empty. ”

"How is it possible, this is the West Gate, facing the avenue leading to Chang'an, there are 200,000 troops in the west, which of the Tang Army is tired and crooked, dare to come and attack?"

"Confused, Fengling Pass is still in the hands of Tang Jun, you can walk around on the east and west banks of the Yellow River at will, think about it, will you choose a sneak attack on the front of the high and deep wall of the city, or choose the relatively low west of the city?"

Everyone was silent, and the intuition was chilling, and some people even poked their heads out to see if there was a sneak attack on the Tang army outside. However, it had been nearly two months since the Yan army occupied Tongguan, and no Tang army dared to attack them, and the leader's words only made them feel that they were scaring people.

The leader's words are not wrong, Tongguan has been repeatedly repaired and strengthened by the dynasty of Chang'an, the capital of the past dynasties, in order to guard against the threat from the east of Tongguan, so the frontal defense is very perfect, and inside the wall, the Guancheng facing Chang'an is relatively low.

"Why should we compete with Sun Xiaozhe, otherwise we will now follow the team to rob money and rob the mother-in-law in Guanzhong. ”

"Silence, isn't Marshal Tian afraid of military law?"

The leader noticed that these subordinates did not seem to be very obedient, and he couldn't help but be a little angry.

"There are not only a few of us brothers who talk about the handsome behind their backs, but how many of them can be managed despite the strict military law?"

"It's okay not to talk about it, light a fire for our brothers, and keep warm!"

"It's really delusional, do you have to bring each of you a bowl of hot tea soup to ward off the cold?"

The leader's face is already ugly, but he will not really use military law to deal with these tongue-chewing soldiers, they are also cold and hungry, just venting some complaints.

"Look, there's light outside the city!"

I don't know which one shouted, and everyone's eyes turned to the dark outside of the city, and sure enough, there was a light shining brightly, and it was bright and bright.

The leader was very vigilant and a little frustrated, could he really be so unlucky to encounter an attack on such a cold and snowy night.

However, after careful observation for a while, it was found that this way of extinguishing the torch was very rhythmic, and it was a means for the Yan army to distinguish between friend and foe at night.

The soldiers in the city also found out that this was a means of communication that they used at night, and they were all relieved. In the past two months, they have been in contact at night for an unknown number of times.

"Chang'an is here again!"

Immediately someone snorted coldly and responded:

"I heard that the grain transport team has not arrived in Guanzhong for a long time, shouldn't it be that someone was sent to Luoyang to urge grain?"

The soldiers began to talk about it again, but there was a lot of schadenfreude about the hidden worries faced by Sun Xiaozhe.

Sure enough, a convoy of horses of about 100 men arrived at the west gate of the castle a few moments later.

"I was ordered to go to Luoyang urgently, but the snow was heavy, and I planned to sleep in Guancheng for one night, please be accommodating. ”

"The army strictly ordered that the city should not be opened after sunset and before sunrise, so please forgive me for not being accommodating. ”

"The brothers brought a lot of rare things to ...... in Guanzhong"

The defenders of the city did not really carry out strict orders, and the rhetoric of military orders was nothing more than a means of bargaining.

Since the annihilation of Gao Xianzhi's army, the morale of the Yan army has risen to an unprecedented level, and he is also very confident, even if this hundred and ten horse team is here to earn the city, what if it is not to send sheep into the tiger's mouth? The important thing is that the property carried by these people can be regarded as an additional compensation.

"Okay, people can go into the city, and the horses can only be grieved outside for the night!"

Soon, the city hung down more than a dozen large baskets with ropes, and hung up the hundred and ten people under the city several times, and dozens of huge burlap bags were placed on the corridor of the city wall, and the eyes of everyone who watched were bright.

"Take it out and see how many rarities you've brought with you this time...... Ah......h

The screams suddenly rose, and the people who were hung up to the city suddenly changed color, and they broke out, and in the blink of an eye, they had already cut down more than a dozen Yan soldiers.

"You guys?ah......"

The leader was delicate and angry, his expression was hideous, he couldn't say a word while clutching his throat, and slowly fell down.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

With a loud shout, immediately some Yan soldiers ran to the gong erected by the inner wall, intending to ring the gong to warn.

"Shoot him! Don't let him bang the gong!"

The bolt burst through the air, and the soldier fell in front of the gong.

"Hurry up, you guys go and put up the iron gates...... Stay in the city and take care of it, and the rest will follow me down to the city to grab the city gates!"

"**Raid the city, **raid the city......"

Even if the Yan army on the west gate was suddenly suppressed, such a big movement quickly alarmed the Yan army elsewhere, and the news of the attack on the city was quickly spread, and then the gongs of warning also sounded one after another.

"Quick, grab the city gate, success or failure is all tonight!"

This hundred-man team that went to danger alone was the Shenwu Army, and the leader was a sturdy and medium-sized person, Pei Jing's brother Pei Yun, and this time he took the initiative to invite Ying to join the Dead Soldier Battalion!

Pei Yu took the Divine Arm Crossbow off his back, held it in his hand, and was the first to rush down the city. There were also a large number of Yan guards on the inside of the city gate, but it was the middle of the night, most of them were sleeping in the camp, and only a dozen people were killed by crossbow arrows before they could react.

Rushed to the city gate smoothly, but Pei Yu was shocked to find that the iron gate was still dead on the ground and was not hanged. If the gates had not been wrenched, it would have been useless to open the gates.

Pei Yu had no choice but to raise his head and shout at the city:

"Hurry up and twist the iron gates, it's too late, and the rebels will surround you!"

A head poked out of the city, "General, the winch of the iron gate is frozen, and the brothers can't turn even if they use their strength to eat!"

"Roast it with fire, there must be flammable fire oil in the city!"

As he spoke, the Yan army guarding the city gate had already rushed out of the camp on the left and went straight to Pei Yu and the others to kill.

"With a thunderbolt!"

Pei Yu was not afraid, calmly ordered, everyone took out a pumpkin-sized thunderbolt from the burlap bag, and set up an oversized slingshot on the ground, and the two of them worked together to put the thunderbolt on the slingshot's cow tendon and pull it full, and immediately someone used a torch to light the seal.

"Put!"

The cow tendon immediately rebounded from the tense state, and the sparkling thunderbolt cannon immediately shot out more than a dozen paces away, and smashed on the head of a Yan army soldier who rushed forward, and he screamed in pain.

But soon the soldier was silent, and the fuse of the thunderbolt gun burned to the end, and immediately exploded in all directions, and with a loud bang, the shattered iron reaped hundreds of darts to kill people. The flesh and blood on the spot were blurred, and there was a miserable howl.

Immediately after, the thunderbolts catapulted one after another, and the explosions also came one after another, these rebels had never seen such a strange weapon that would make a loud noise and be extremely lethal, and they thought it was the thunderbolt mother, and they scattered in all directions in fright.

However, the Yan army's overseers quickly drove the rout back, and they were dead on the left and right, and they were worth risking being hacked to death by the Thunder Princess, rushing to the city gate.

Pei Yun's face became more and more serious, and if he delayed any longer, he would probably have to explain all of them here. And the dead soldiers in the city must have faced the same danger, they had to bake the winch as fast as possible, and they also struggled to block the siege of the Yan army.

Kill, kill, kill!

Suddenly, there was a faint shout of killing outside the city gate.

It turned out that the appointed time had come, and Pei Jing rushed to the city gate with all his army as promised.

In an instant, Pei Yun's face was sweating like pulp, it was not a pity for them to die, but if the plan was delayed, the whole game of chess would inevitably fail.

"General, the thunderbolt is running out!"

Pei Yu glanced at the empty burlap bag and gritted his teeth.

"Fight with them, and you will persevere to the end!"

The rebels were getting closer and closer, Pei Yu threw the divine arm crossbow on the ground, the crossbow arrows had been used up, and the divine arm crossbow was not as good as the burning stick, he drew the horizontal knife on his waist and shouted loudly:

"The people are at the gates!"

Dozens of people also shouted in unison, their eyes resolute, and they all planned to fight to the last man.

The sound of gold and iron twisting was squeaky and piercing, and Pei Yu turned back suddenly, only to see the iron gate slowly rising.

"The iron gate is raised, open the city gate quickly!"

He rushed to the heavy wooden door first, and found a huge brass lock hanging on it, and eagerly slashed it with a horizontal knife, but in a few strokes the blade of the blade was curled. This kind of huge lock that locks the city gate is not to mention cut with a horizontal knife, even if it is chopped with a sharp axe, it is difficult to work. The rebels behind him are getting closer and closer, and they can't support it anymore, Pei Yu is anxious and scared, full of unwillingness, is all the efforts today going to be in vain in front of this copper lock?

No!

There was a voice roaring in Pei Yun's chest!
