Chapter Seventy-Eight: Secret Attack on Nanpu City

The dense dark clouds obscured the last rays of the sunset, and in the evening, the scenery became very hazy, as if the night had come early!

Outside Nanpu City, Su Shang led an army of thousands of people and was rapidly marching towards Nanpu City!

The line was long, stretching for miles, and everyone was holding a torch, and from a distance, it looked like a fast-moving fire dragon!

In the firelight, flags stood in the sky above the team, flying in the wind.

However, these are all colorful flags of different colors, among which there is no Su Shang's handsome flag, and there is no flag that marks the belonging of the team, so people can't tell where this team comes from!

In the team, except for the more than 200 cavalry who followed Su Shang's side, the others were infantry! They are all well equipped, all dressed in black armor, carrying strong bows and arrows on their shoulders, holding large swords and long qiāng, neat and solemn along the way, and moving forward quickly!

At the head of Nanpu City, several groups of soldiers in leather armor are walking back and forth, they are the city guards of Nanpu City!

Behind them, there were also some men armed with wooden sticks, dressed as civilians, who were in a very poor mental state, and their faces were exhausted, and they followed behind the city guards with expressionless faces, without the slightest morale!

Nanpu City is very small, and there are not many city guards in charge of security and security, only more than 300 people in total. Recently, because the Sui army was about to attack Pyongyang City, more than 200 city guards were transferred to defend Pyongyang City!

As a result, there are serious deficiencies in the security work of Nanpu City. In order to make up for this shortcoming, the squires and wealthy families in the city partnered to recruit a team of more than 200 people! However, because they had no weapons and could only carry wooden sticks, they were called the Stick Army!

At this moment, a stick army who stretched out his limbs and looked at the relaxation in the distance suddenly saw a fire dragon outside the city that stretched for several miles, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Look! Aren't there a lot of torches over there? ”

The city guards jumped in their hearts at the same time, and they all looked out of the city. The situation outside the city suddenly shocked them, less than two miles outside the city, a fire dragon stretching for several miles was moving rapidly towards Nanpu City!

A soldier who looked like a general quickly reacted and shouted to the people around him: "Quick! Go and wake up the brethren who are guarding the wheel! Quickly release the signal to inform the people in the city ......"

"Poof!" This is the sound of a sharp arrow into the flesh!

A short arrow glowing with black light shot out of the darkness and pierced his neck directly, and the general who was shouting loudly suddenly seemed to have his neck choked by life, and he could no longer speak!

"Poof! Burst! ......" was another series of sharp arrows into the flesh, and before the city guards and stick troops at the head of the city could react, more than a dozen people had already been shot down!

At this time, a team of big men wearing black night clothes and carrying long knives quickly walked out of the darkness!

They didn't speak, they cut down whenever they met, their movements were swift and decisive, and the more than ten stick soldiers who were still in terror were all cut down by them in the blink of an eye!

The remaining twenty or so city guards finally reacted from their sleep, picked up their weapons one after another, regardless of the defense, and slashed and stabbed at the enemy in front of them, trying to temporarily scare the enemy back with a lose-lose style!

It can be seen that the city guards are also elite soldiers who have been trained for a long time, and the methods they came up with in danger were unexpectedly expected by the black-clothed men, and for a while, they were beaten by the city guards in a hurry, and they retreated a few steps in a row, and even, a few of them were a little untimely and slightly injured!

However, these black-clothed men are also experienced in the battlefield for a long time, and after retreating a few steps in a row, they stabilized their position again.

This time, they fought steadily and defensively, and soon, the city guards fell to the bottom again!

The city guards fought more and more urgently, retreating again and again, and while they struggled to defend against the attack of the black-clad man, they were distracted and peeked at the situation below the city gate.

There are more than 30 brothers under the city gate, and they hope that the brothers under the city gate will come to help!

The black-clothed men became more and more courageous, their weapons were strong and heavy, and the anxious city guards were in a hurry, and their defenses were unstable, and in the blink of an eye, a few more were cut to the ground, and they had no power to fight!

The black-clothed man who cut down his opponent joined other warbands to help his brothers, and for a while, the original short-lived balance of the battle was broken! Soon, the crowd still standing at the head of the city was left with only the man in black!

Just as the city was moving, there was also a black-clothed man attacking under the city gate! However, their luck was very good, they took a silent assassination, and when the city head general shouted a warning, more than 30 city guards inside the city gate had been secretly killed by them!

The rest of the city guards were suddenly awakened by the sound of warning, and they picked up their weapons and prepared to rush to the wall, completely unaware of the danger beside them!

At the same time, the black-clothed men raised their left hands at them, and then, with their right hands, pressed lightly on the small crossbow on the back of their left hand.

In an instant, short arrows with black light whistled out, and in the blink of an eye, the city guards all fell to the ground and never moved again!

The battles on and off the city ended quickly, no more than a quarter of an hour before and after! In particular, the city guards inside the city gate all fell without resistance at all, and by the time the battle ended at the city gate, the black-clothed man under the city gate had already cleaned up the battle scene!

A big man in black at the head of the city made a gesture to the city gate, turned around and turned the city gate winch with the brother next to him!

Soon, the city gate was slowly opened with a creaking sound!

The fire dragon army outside the city is also about to arrive, and the vanguard personnel are only more than twenty zhang away from the city gate at this time, and they are about to stop and wait!

Seeing that the city gate had been opened, the vanguard of the Fire Dragon Army did not pause, and ran towards the city quickly!

In the middle of the fire dragon army, Su Shang, Du Ruhui and others were driving slowly with the speed of the team! As soon as they entered the city gate, the black-clothed men who had been waiting next to the city gate stepped forward one after another and stood up and saluted!

"Hello marshal!"

Su Shangle stopped his horse, looked at these black-clothed men in front of him, and laughed, "Wang Peng, you guys did a good job, the city gate was opened in time!" ”

"Wang Peng, how is the situation in the city now, how many city gates are there?"

"Report to the marshal, the situation in the city is temporarily stable, but the people's hearts are unstable, a few days ago, many people have fled from Nanpu City, and now there are about 3,000 people in the city!"

"There are a total of four gates in Nanpu City, in order to prevent the surprise attack of the imperial army, ten days ago, the east and west gates have been sealed by the city guards of Nanpu City, and only the south and north gates remain. The north gate, led by General Wang Wei and twenty brothers from the personal battalion, has been reported that General Wang Wei grabbed the north gate with zero casualties! ”

Su Shang listened to Wang Peng's report, frowned and thought about it, then turned his head and shouted to a general behind him: "Su Xingchen!"

"In! Please, marshal! ”

"You immediately arrange for people to take over the defense of the city, and the four major gates of the east, south, west, and north must be garrisoned! From now on, the gates of the city are closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave! ”

"Yes!"
