Chapter 15: Night Attack on Qiongdu City

When he came to the back camp, Mo Feng found the hook claws used to bind the grain and grass on the cart loaded with grain and grass. Although it is only a fixed claw, it is not as sharp as the siege claw used in the Tang Dynasty of China, but it is enough to be used in a small and medium-sized city like Qiongdu.

Tie a sturdy rope to the hook and then tie a round iron ring to the end of the rope to fix the camp. After a few experiments, the claws were indeed usable.

Mo Feng rushed to Zhao Wutang's camp and took out the flying claws and put them in front of him.

"Feng'er, isn't this an iron hook used to bind grain and grass, what are you doing with this thing?" Looking at the iron hook that Mo Feng brought, Zhao Wutang asked puzzled.

Mo Feng smiled mysteriously: "Uncle Zhao, don't you think this is any different from the ordinary iron hook that binds grain and grass?" ”

Zhao Wutang took the flying claw in his hand and fiddled with it, which really made him discover something unusual. The hemp rope that binds the iron hook is particularly strong and very long; Rings made of hemp rope at the end of the iron hook also seem to play an important role.

"Feng'er, what is this iron hook for?"

Regarding Zhao Wutang's question, Mo Feng only said two words: "Siege!" ”

Then, Mo Feng gave Zhao Wutang a demonstration: first put the rope tail circle on his wrist and hold the palm of the flying claw; Then, with a sharp lift up and backwards, you will firmly grasp the battlement, and then grab the rope and climb up the wall.

"Feng'er, I understand the function of this thing. But if this hook wants to be used to its fullest, it must be used at night! Do you want to attack at night? ”

Mo Feng nodded: "That's right!" I have asked General Liao of the rear camp to make as many of these things as possible, and I will return to the forward camp later to select some good players who can climb the city wall. When this man was at his most sleepy, he climbed the wall, captured the gates, and brought in a large army. ”

"Okay, I'll give the order to the whole army to sit back and get ready."

"No, don't make a big fuss! Everything is according to the habit after the victory on weekdays, and the celebration banquet is held! ”

"Why?"

"Of course, it's to release the fog for the siege at night! Our army has dealt a heavy blow to the barbarians today, and their morale has fallen, and if they see our army celebrating with great vigour, they must have thought that our army has been carried away by victory, and will come to rob the camp at night. We have laid an ambush in advance, killed him for a while, and we will surely be able to gain something.

After defeating the rebels, it is natural to repair for a while. Well, let's lower the vigilance of the traitors, so that they think that we dare not attack the city; Second, it is to allow the brothers to accumulate physical strength and prepare for the night attack.

When the day dawns, then do what I said before – siege. ”

"Good plan!" Zhao Wutang patted the table excitedly: "This plan is one link after another, it is really a chain plan!" But which gate you have to choose as the breakthrough point. ”

Mo Feng looked at the map and drew a circle with his hand on the map: "Here." ”

"East Gate! Well, here it is, this is where the troops are weakest. ”

"Uncle Zhao, then this is agreed, then Feng'er will go down first!"

Zhao Wutang nodded and said with a smile: "Well, let's go and prepare." Ben is going to have people prepare a 'banquet' too! ”

"No!" Mo Feng smiled knowingly and retreated.

At night, the Guiyi military camp is brightly lit, and even in the distance, you can hear the sound of staggered and toasting in the camp.

When the rebels on the tower saw this, they were all annoyed. Standing on the top of the city tower and watching, Kaohsiung patted the battlements angrily, and said to Gao Mai next to him: "Brother Mai, you take seven thousand brothers to rob the camp, and I will stay in the city." ”

"Big brother, I'm afraid that if I bring seven thousand brothers, those dogs will come to attack the city!"

"No, Wei Kai is a reckless man, and the striker he appointed must also be a reckless man. If you look at what this striker has been doing these days, which point does not reveal the air of recklessness. Now they are celebrating vigorously, how could they come to attack the city? ”

"No, little brother is going now!"

The night was a little deeper, Gao Mai led the army to the front of the Guiyi army camp, hidden in the bushes, listening to the sound of wine glasses colliding inside, Gao Mai sneered a few times: "This group of damn Tianxing people, they are still drinking, as the eldest brother said, the striker appointed by the reckless man is also a reckless man!" “

"Huh" "Huh", two feather arrows were shot, and the two figures on the arrow tower fell down in response, Gao Mai pulled out the saber at his waist and shouted: "Rush with me!" ”

Seven thousand men and horses rushed into the camp, but when they opened the tents, they did not see anyone in the tents. I saw that the tent was full of wine glasses, and when the wine glasses touched each other, they made a "jingling" sound.

"Oh no, the middle plan!" Gao Mai screamed.

At this moment, two arrows rang out, and the Guiyi army came towards the rebels from all directions.

Opposite the wolf-like Guiyi army, the terrifying shadow of the day enveloped them again at this moment. They also had to fight and retreat, retreating towards Qiongdu, and the Guiyi army did not continue to pursue after a while.

While inspecting the camp, Zhao Wutang ordered: "Order the whole army to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, count the casualties, and repair and prepare for battle." Prepare for a night attack! ”

With Zhao Wutang's order, the Guiyi Army was at full speed like a high-speed machine, and by the time they were ready, they had already completed all the aftermath work.

After the rebels withdrew and returned to the city, they saw that the Guiyi army did not chase and did not take the opportunity to attack the city, so they rested after counting the losses.

In the Qiongdu Mansion, Kaohsiung and Gao Mai were drinking sullen wine and spitting bitter water.

"Big brother, do you think there is a master on the other side, why is it that even our night attack is counted?" Gao Mai was a little drunk.

Kaohsiung pursed his lips and said contemptuously: "Even if there is a master, he is also a half-master." This master had no confidence in his own army, and after ambushing us, he did not take advantage of the chaos to steal the city, but hastily withdrew his troops. If I were the other party's commander, I would definitely take down the city in one go. ”

"It's just that every time it's so much of a trembling, I think their lord will not only be a reckless man, but a fool without any opinions!"

After saying that, the two of them laughed unscrupulously.

Before you know it, the time is coming soon.

Mo Feng led 50 soldiers of the forward battalion to sneak under the cover of night under the cover of night clothes, black scarves, crossbows and flying claws.

Mo Feng made a move, and then the 50 people raised their claws, flew to the city wall with their claws, and grabbed the battlement.

Mo Feng pulled, nodded, and then pulled the rope and began to climb the city wall.

At this time, the soldiers on the city wall also took a nap against the city wall, and there was not even a single soldier patrolling, and the soldiers on the city barely noticed that someone would climb up at this time.

Climbing all the way along the rope, Mo Feng and his group of 50 people boarded the battlement. As Mo Feng took out the dagger tied to his leg and slit the throat of the barbarian soldier who was napping by the battlement, a massacre in the dark began.

The moon is dark and kills the night, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire.

Mo Feng and the others were like the Grim Reaper wielding a sickle in the dark, ruthlessly harvesting life one after another. The more than 200 soldiers on the wall of the east gate did not make a sound, and they were all eliminated.

Finally, Mo Feng's movements disturbed the soldiers guarding the city below, and the soldiers shouted: "The enemy army is sneaking attack!" Enemy Sneak Attack! ”

"Ballista!" As soon as Mo Feng gave the order, the 50 soldiers of the forward battalion immediately took out the crossbow machine and shot mercilessly at the soldiers at the city gate below.

The distance to the city gate is getting closer, the rebel soldiers at the gate are getting fewer and fewer, and the rebel reinforcements are getting closer and closer to them.

The "whoosh" crossbow bolt pierced the chest of one of the rebels that followed, and the soldiers of the forward battalion hurriedly opened the city gate.

"Boom" and "boom", two arrows sounded, and the soldiers of the Guiyi Army hiding outside the city raised their torches one after another.

"Soldiers, rush into the city!" Zhao Wutang shouted, and the soldiers of the Guiyi Army rushed towards Qiongdu City like a torrent.

Seeing this, the 50 soldiers took off their veils one after another, formed a crossbow array, and began to shoot crossbow arrows at the rebels who came to help.

When the Guiyi army reached behind them, they consciously moved out of the way, and then merged into the torrent and slaughtered the city.

Mo Feng watched all this happily, and also drew his battle knife, and killed it with the brothers.

Luo Shixin and Le Jin held swords, like two killing gods, and rushed left and right with the forward battalion, killing the rebels who came to help.

In the mansion, the Gao brothers, who were sleeping soundly, were awakened by the shouting and killing outside, and ran out of their rooms one after another. Looking at the firelight and shouts of slaughter, they also understood what was going on - the city had been breached.

At this time, a bloodied pawn ran in and hurriedly said, "Two kings, things are not good. The enemy army has attacked from the east gate, and the brothers in front of us are almost unable to resist it, so we should withdraw quickly. ”

Kaohsiung snatched the knife from the soldier next to him, only to see a flash of silver light, and the head of the pawn was cut off in an instant. Staring at the soldiers around him, Gao Xiong said viciously: "Anyone who shakes the heart of the army will be killed!" Ordered all armies, cover each other, and slowly withdraw from Qiongdu. ”

The surrounding soldiers looked at the ruthlessness of their king, and thought that they were going to make them resist to the end, but they didn't expect to let them retreat, and they were all excited, as if they had gone from hell to heaven. Then, he immediately ran out of the house to give orders.

And the two guards beside the Gao brothers were also very sensible to lead the horses over, helped the Gao brothers to get on the horses, and ran out in the direction of the west gate where they had the most soldiers and horses.

Killing all the way in, only to see that when he was about to kill the county office, Mo Feng saw from a distance two people wearing single clothes and riding horses fleeing towards the west gate in a panic, and there were many soldiers guarding him.

"Order, the army storms the eastern, southern, and northern gates, and don't go to the west gate!" Mo Feng shouted.

"No!"

After receiving Mo Feng's order, the Guiyi army changed the direction of the attack and killed the three gates.

Two hours later, the rebels in the city had been cleared, and the rest of the men had fled through Simon. Qiongdu is already surnamed Zhao.
