Chapter 512: Night Attack

The offensive and defensive battles in front of Xiongguan continued until sunset. This compact and tragic battle showed the Zhongzhou army on the city walls what a tough battle was. The Northeast Army attacked one after another, and various siege engines were thrown into battle. If it weren't for the large number of Zhongzhou troops, the city wall would have been breached a few hours ago.

The tired Zhongzhou soldier watched the Red Sea gradually reced, and collapsed against the wall. They don't care when there is a fight. After the battle, many found that they were more or less slightly injured. Whenever these tall, burly Manchu soldiers rushed at a person, they lay on the wall four or five times.

Cheng Shijie's tense heartstrings were also loosened, but when his gaze swept over the two corpses lying quietly beside him, his brows furrowed again, the two Dharma Protector Deities, which were sent by Su Hu to help him, originally thought that with them, this Xiongguan would be more stable, but in the battle just a few hours ago, these two Dharma Protector Deities were killed by one of the Dragon Zhantian camps.

That person Cheng Shijie didn't know, just an old man in ordinary clothes, but it was just an old man, a ninth-level water system divine soldier extinguished the fire on the wall and washed it along with the wall.

The fighting god on his side couldn't see it, but he was killed by the other demon Qi Qi in seconds just by taking a look, Cheng Shijie could see it clearly, it was the killing move of the water system law god, the water flow, if they didn't hide quickly, it was estimated that they wouldn't be able to escape.

Fortunately, the old man had just killed the two fighting gods and walked down, but the shadow in Cheng Shijie's heart still lingered. With the strong combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army and this powerful old man, Cheng Shijie had to bravely face the last words of Heroes Day. You can't keep up.

The Manchurian army retreated 30 miles and was rewarded with spies. Cheng Shijie took off his armor, but he still didn't dare to relax. He ordered his men to guard the walls at night. There are more men than during the day. It is difficult to guarantee that the Manchurian army will not repeat the same trick and try again at night to tear down the city walls.

In the Northeast Military Camp, an old man and Long Zhantian sat side by side on a chair, and on the left and right were all henchmen of the Dragon Clan.

Hero Tian poured a glass of wine and handed it to the old man with both hands, and the old man smiled and picked up the glass. "Today thanks to this veteran, please make this glass." In the Battle of the Dragons, the old man drank another glass of wine. The smile on his face was very calm. "In the Battle of the Dragons, this old man has grown up and can do more for the Dragons. You're so nice. ”

Long Tian looked respectful, and gave another glass of wine, and the other generals also gave a glass of Old Man Qi Qi, this old man named Zhan Xia is the first person who likes you dedicated to the five major worship halls, Zhan Xia likes to be famous for a long time, and when Long Tian has not yet established a worship hall, Zhan Xia is already a god-level figure.

After drinking, the warrior left alone. Immediately after the heroes and others sent the old man out, they presented their accounts and gathered together. The entire Northeast barracks moved rapidly. The soldiers put on their armor and quietly gathered the heavily armed soldiers in the dark camp.

The soldiers did not participate in the siege during the day. They have been recuperating for a whole day in order to launch a surprise attack at night. The heroes sent the Black Guards. If there are no surprises, the signal will sound at another moment. At that time, Xiongguan will be closed, and the hinterland of the Central Plains will be clearly visible.

All the generals in the tent clenched the hilts of their swords at their waists. The dragon and Zhantian were dressed in armor and their eyes were fixed on the sky. Everyone is waiting for the signal to sound.

"Autumn~", the dragon's fireworks exploded in the sky above Xiongguan on time, Long Tian with a smile on his face, grabbed the direction arrow on the table and said: "People listen to orders~!" The generals clenched their fists one after another and said, "Okay~!"

With a "click", the arrow fell to the ground, and the dragon roared: "Seize the mountain pass~!" The army rushed out of the camp and ambushed 20,000 light horsemen at Xiongguan, ten miles away. They were the first to get into action. The red dot flashes at night.

"Hey, fireworks?" the soldiers guarding the gate stared blankly at the sky. About 100 people guarded the gate of Shimonoseki. These soldiers were much lazier than the soldiers who guarded the gates of the horse gates. Most of them were secretly napping. After an explosion, they did not wake up several people.

With a "brush", a big hole broke out of thin air on the ground, and a black figure jumped out of the hole, the figure flashed forward, and a black dagger flashed out of his sleeve, and then, the land at the door of the cave kept appearing, and a figure appeared.

The soldiers finally came to their senses, but it was too late. These killers belong to the Men in Black security service and are more specialized than any other killer organization on the continent. More than 100 soldiers guarding the closed gate were killed almost instantaneously. They don't even have time to make a sound.

The same happened when the door was closed in another place. With a slight "click" of the gears, the heavy door began to slowly open. The five Black Guards and the Assassins pulled up a massive handle, and the door opened wider and wider as they tried.

"Enemy attack~!" a loud bang pierced the night sky, and the soldiers guarding the city wall looked forward one by one. Because at night, the red light cavalry is only spotted when it reaches a few hundred meters from the city. Like a torrential rain, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and the northeastern vanguard launched a formal charge.

The "whizzing" arrows began to tilt frantically under the city gate, the crossbow "creaked" and swayed, and the thick arrows whistled out, but it was pitch black under the city gate wall, and only the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the night, and it was impossible to know how many people there were.

When the general in charge of defending the city was woken up and rushed to the headquarters, the soldiers were terrified. They saw shadow after shadow "whooshing" towards the door. During the day, people are no longer upside down, and the shadows disappear one by one.

In the end, some people reacted and shouted in horror: "The door has been opened~!" As if to prove his words, the silence outside the door boiled, and people looked up at the horses neighing, completely tearing apart the silence of the night.

Cheng Shijie was very tired when he returned to the garrison mansion. 100,000 soldiers are stationed in Xiongguan throughout the year, and nearby merchants come to hear the news. Gradually, it became a town five miles away from Xiongguan. The town is under the jurisdiction of the commander of the Xiongguan garrison. Cheng Shijie's mansion was temporarily built in the town's garrison residence.

The meal was already prepared at home, and the wives and concubines were already waiting for them. To show their determination to keep the customs, the loyal Cheng Shijie even hosted his family members to show their willingness to keep the customs.

The faces of his wife and concubine were not good-looking, especially Cheng Shijie's wife, who had a face of fear and fought for a day. Even though the town was more than five miles from the gate, the loud shouting and killing still upset the family.

"General, are you back?" Yu Ji obediently handed Cheng Shijie a cup of tea, Cheng Shijie gestured with his hand, and said with a tired face: "You eat first, I'm tired, let's go rest first." After speaking, Cheng Shijie left first.

The apprehension on the woman's face deepened. It was the first day and the husband was too tired. Cheng Shijie returned to the backyard. He first went to meet the envoy sent by Su Hu, and then returned to his room.

The sound of "oblique" sounded, and a man in black stopped in the process of touching Shijie Mansion just now, and his throat was highlighted by a blood-red blade, which was a green sword, which made the sword look gloomy in the light of the lantern, and the person holding the sword was a middle-aged man, with three strands of beard fluttering slightly in the night, with an indescribable chic.

As soon as the middle-aged man got his hand, the sword was drawn. The dead killer doesn't understand why he was found when he sneaked in.

Accompanying the Man in Black comes another killer with a slightly superior skill. At this time, he was lying between the rockeries, and the whole person was completely integrated with the rockery.

"Come out, don't hide. The middle-aged man's eyes were like electricity, staring coldly in this direction, and the killer's heart suddenly tightened, but his body still didn't move. "I can really hold my breath, hum~!" the middle-aged man snorted coldly and quickly waved his green sword. Then he catches the killer and sees a strange scene. He showed the Buddha the green leaves. The leaves are like the wind. The next moment, he lost consciousness.

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, the middle-aged man's brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered from the bottom of his heart, these two killers are very smart. If it weren't for him, no one else would ever find them.

The middle-aged man wiped the blood from his sword and looked at the nearby house. Sleeping in the room was Cheng Shijie, who had come to greet him before. The middle-aged man had no affection for this rude-looking man.

Do you want to inform him? The middle-aged man thought for a moment, then shook his head, and after a while, the guards on patrol found the corpse and naturally knew about him, why did he let go of his identity, thinking of this, the middle-aged man moved slightly, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

The middle-aged man had just returned to the room and sat down. Outside, he shouted killing. The flames burned. The middle-aged man's eyes were still fixed on him, and he rushed out the door with a "whoosh".

Cheng Shijie fell and fell asleep. In a daze, he seemed to dream of several bloody knives. In his sleep, he was scared and sweating. Suddenly, a hurried shout came from outside the door: "General~!General~!".

Cheng Shijie was awakened. Suddenly, he rolled out of bed and didn't even have time to put on his shoes. He grabbed a long knife from his bed and quickly jumped out to open the door. Professor Wei stood at the door with a worried face, and saw Cheng Shijie arrive: "General, things are not good, something is wrong~!"

Cheng Shijie was also stunned at this time. The sky was red, and shouting was everywhere. The whole town has been thrown into chaos.
