Chapter 17: Midnight

In the middle of the night, it was pitch black in the four fields, and nothing could be distinguished, only the strong wind blew the face and the blizzard was biting. Everyone has reached numbness, but they are forcibly dragging their legs with the footsteps of their predecessors.

The wind and snow intensified, and suddenly a gust of wind swept in, and the fierceness was like a phoenix roaring and a dragon roaring.

With a bang, the flag was torn and pieces flew away. Sergeant Liang, who was holding the flag, was unsteady, plopped and fell, tumbled and rolled several times, and couldn't get up for half a day.

Someone came to help the soldier, and the two of them tried their best to support half of their bodies. Unexpectedly, in an instant, the two of them fell into the same evil, and they both fell to the ground amid the ghost's scream.

It turned out that as far as the eye could reach, there was a corpse buried in the snow, covered by snow, and only the upper half of it was exposed. When you look closely, the deceased is wearing the armor of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and his body is already stiff, but his face is still alive and dead.

Brothers, the strikers? He is only so young... The two looked at each other with pale faces and shook their heads.

The long line moved forward quietly, and the long road ahead was still dark and miserable, and it seemed to be endless.

I don't know where it started, but the silent team suddenly started a commotion. After a few moments, many people stopped and the line became scattered. Someone is shouting, "Don't go!" If you go on like this, even if you don't die halfway, you still have the strength to attack the city when you reach Vortex! ”

"Exactly! If you go to Vortex Yang, you will be sent to death at all! ”

"It's better to go back!"

Not only ordinary soldiers, but also many generals and colonels were also cursing, shouting to go back to Longkang.

Song Jingxiu and Yu Tianshu jumped like thunder, and they were about to cut people, but they didn't seem to have any eggs to greet them with ---, just cold and playful eyes.

The team became more and more scattered, and even a little bit of a sense of sparseness...

There was a fire in the wind, which shone out with difficulty, shining Chen Qingzhi's face, his face was clear, but at this time, his eyes were open angrily, and the snow covered his beard was unspeakably hideous and violent.

"Let him wait!" Chen Qingzhi's voice was like thunder: "Since coming out of Longkang Fort, I have traveled sixty miles, and not far in front of me is Vortex Yang, and victory is in sight." If you go back, it is still sixty miles, the wind and snow are fierce, and the food is exhausted... Calculate this account yourself! ”

The rumors are still there, and no one says anything more.

The team is moving forward.

。。。。。。

It can be regarded as a lesson from the past, Pei Guo can be said to be more careful next, plus the wind and snow have been continuous for many days, the Wei army is really defenseless, so he has never alarmed even a Wei soldier along the way, and Feng Sui told him to clean up his head along the way.

The 3,000 forwards of the Liang army came out of Longkang Fort, and after the wind and snow in the middle of the night, at this moment, those who were left behind, separated, and frozen to death, I am afraid that there will be no three or five hundred people. The rest also felt that they had reached the limit, and they were frozen one by one, and when they wanted to speak, the corners of their mouths trembled for a long time, and they couldn't speak.

At this moment, the already blurred vision faintly flashed with light, flickering and dimming, and then the voice of his companion was surprised and delighted: "Vortex Yang City... It's here! ”

No one shouted, just one after the other, leaning into their ears and whispering the words. It's a simple five words, but it is like giving birth to mana, so that every Liang soldier who hears it is a hundred times more energetic, and every part of his limbs and hundreds of bones feels a warm current surging through...

Pei Guo and Yang Zhong were at the front of the team, and at this time, Yang Zhong glanced back at the Liang army, lowered his voice and said, "I really have few forwards, but I have to wait for the arrival of Chen Dudu's rear army?" ”

"I can't do it." Pei Guo shook his head: "I don't know where Chen Dudu's rear army is, and when it will be able to arrive." Now that it's past the ugly time, wait any longer, just afraid of the dawn. clenched his fist and said: "If the Wei army is defenseless, although I have few forwards, I dare to fight; If the Wei army is prepared, it is the arrival of the rear army of Chen Dudu, what is the use? ”

Yang Zhong said "um" and said: "What Xiaokuan said is very true, then let's do it!" ”

In the distance, the head of the vortex city is black and dark, and only a few "angry dead wind" lamps are lit at the four corners and the main building, which are lonely, dark and gloomy, and completely unpopular. Yang Zhong stared at it for a moment, frowned and said, "Although the wind and snow are heavy, most of the people on duty in the city will hide in the building and sleep lazily when they are unprepared. But there are thousands of people in our army, if they want to pass, there will be a sound, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not wake him up. You see that there is an empty space under this Vortex Yang City, but if someone looks at it, it is a clear view. ”

When Pei Guo heard this, he hurriedly looked in the direction of Vortex Yang City, and couldn't help but gasp: "That's true." It should be that the Wei people emptied all the trees and houses around the city, so it would be so empty. In this way, it is difficult to do. ”

Without a plan for a while, Pei Guo became anxious and sighed. At this moment, Yang Zhong pointed to the root of the west city wall and said, "Huh? What is that? ”

There was a moat outside the city, which was less than a zhang wide, but the west end of the city wall was sparkling, and the river was wide and wide, which was very different from other places. Yang Zhong saw it, so he asked.

Pei Guo's heart moved, and he blurted out: "Go!" I'll go over and see! ”

Just the two of them sneaked in, how loud could it be? All the way to the moat, sure enough, there was no movement at the head of the city, and the guards were sleeping soundly. Pei Guo and Yang Zhong glanced at each other, and first rejoiced three points. Looking at the river in the west again, Pei Guo couldn't help but chuckle: "God help me!" ”

It turned out that this section of the moat in the west was congenitally wide, and the Wei army of Wuyang took measures according to local conditions, opened up a little, and made a goose pond ready-made. The pond is densely packed, and there are many ducks and geese around it.

Pei Guo turned back first, and Yang Zhong found the narrow place of the moat, jumped hard, reached the opposite bank, walked a few steps to the root of the west city wall, and hid in the dark. Then he looked for the clods of earth and stones and threw them into the pond, and the ducks and geese sprang up and quacked.

After a while, several figures appeared at the head of the city, sleepy-eyed and cursing. The probe poked his head and looked at it for a moment, but he didn't see anything abnormal, but he laughed and said: "I will let you wait for the noise tonight, tomorrow will be dawn, you have to cook and wait!" As he spoke, he dispersed one by one.

Pei Guo waved his hand, and Liang Jun hulala pounced, all tiptoeing, trying to keep the sound as low as possible. The cries of ducks and geese in the pond are still frequent, mixed with the sound of wind and snow, and the footsteps of Liang Jun have long been covered tightly.

The city river is not wide, and the Liang army is equipped with wooden planks, which easily crosses the moat, and hides under the root of the city wall. Pei Guo took the lead, and more than 20 of the most vigorous men in the army took out the flying hook and hung it to climb the city. Over there, Yang Zhong ran over and led a team of thugs to lie quietly at the gate of the city, just waiting for Pei Guo to succeed.

This night, Pei Guo Fengsui climbed a lot, he was already familiar with it, using both hands and feet, and in a moment he had jumped up to the city, looking around, there was no one at all, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice. He took the rest of the soldiers who climbed the city, and all of them climbed up.

Five men each, and they cruised to the corners of the city at both ends. Pei Guo led more than ten people to sneak into the doorway, and found seven or eight Wei soldiers who were still asleep in the dark, and wiped their necks one by one. The last Wei man woke up in shock, and suddenly saw the cold light in front of him, and immediately fell to his knees, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't kill me!" I'm just a husband! ”

Pei Guo raised his hand to stop his subordinates, and said with a smile: "You are obedient, it doesn't hurt to leave your life." ”

The husband kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Must be obedient, must be obedient!" ”

Pei Guo left half of the people in the gatehouse, and asked him to pull the jack gate later. He immediately went down to the city with six or seven people, and with a knife he killed the doorman, and opened the south gate of Wuyang with a creak.

The jack gate was raised, Yang Zhong waved his hand, and more than 2,000 Liang army forwards entered the city.
