On the night of August 26, Bitatu, the patriarch of the Qiangjiao tribe, led 20,000 cavalry to quietly arrive at a position about two or three miles outside the west gate of the city.

I saw a waning moon in the night sky, emitting a hazy faint moonlight, and there were no stars.

It's a good day to sneak up and be sneak attacked.

『…… Blessed by the gods of the plateau.

Riding on his horse, Bitatu prayed silently, after all, the victory or defeat of this battle was crucial to his Kajiao tribe.

Only by capturing the Wei boy named Ji Run can his Jiaojiao tribe be qualified to negotiate with Wei on an equal footing and continue to exist in the world.

Looking at the western city wall of the city from a distance, Bitatu saw that the western city wall of the city was full of torches, and with the light of the fire, he could clearly see the figures on the western city wall, and almost every section of the city wall had twenty or thirty soldiers patrolling.

What kind of defensive weakness is this?

Bitatu cursed in his heart.

However, he also understood that even if the Wei army in the city now regarded his karma as nothing, most of the necessary defenses would not be relaxed, and it would depend on how far the friendly karma people in the city, led by Gaqihan, could go.

Hmm, it's a pity that Bitatu doesn't know that Gaqihan, the younger brother of Lu Baron, the patriarch of the Lu Lun clan, is actually dead a long time ago.

At this time, Bitatu's appearance Bosil came to the former's side, and said in a low voice: "Great Patriarch, don't you really send warriors to patrol the surroundings? I was worried that there would be an ambush by the Wei army. ”

Bitatu shook his head and said in a low voice: "This place is the patrol range of Gaqihan and other Qiang people, they will give us convenience, but if we go to other places, we may meet those Shan people or Shan people who are willing to be dogs for the Wei people." ”

Because Sain told him that although the number of patrol sentinels of the Lun clan, the Meng clan, and the Xu clan was far inferior to the cavalry of the Qiang tribe, they were still responsible for guarding the suburbs outside the city at night.

"......" Bossil opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

To be sure, he still doesn't believe the words of Sain, Aru, and Shurha, and thinks that this incident may be a trap set by the Wei people against them.

But because he couldn't find any flaws, he was also a little confused in his heart, and he just secretly told himself to be careful in everything, especially his well-protected father-in-law Bitatu.

Estimating that it was around the clock, Bitatu clenched the reins a little nervously.

Because according to the plan he made with Sain, it was the time for them to cooperate with the Wei army around the time.

But he didn't see the signal in the city for a long time, and Bitatu was anxious.

"What time is it?" Bitatu asked Boshel in a whispered with an anxious face.

"It should be past the end of the day." Boshel replied in a low voice.

Hearing this, Bitatu became even more anxious in his heart, frowned and whispered: "The appointed hour has passed, what is this guy Gachihan doing?" ”

"......" Bossil was silent, his eyes full of confusion as he looked at the city.

"If it is really a trap for the Wei people, when the time comes, the Wei people should act...... But now that the time has passed, there is no movement in the city, could it be ...... Could it be that this is not a trick of the Wei people?'

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

They didn't know that when they were peeking at the west city wall of the city in the dark, far away on the gate tower of the west city wall of the city, Zhao Hongrun ordered people to extinguish the torches nearby, and also peeked into the darkness of the night outside the city with a large group of people.

Although he couldn't see with his eyes, Zhao Hongrun could faintly feel that in the dark night in the distance, those horned cavalrymen were gearing up, and they were probably already anxious.

"His Royal Highness King Su, it's past time." Lu Balon, the patriarch of the Lun clan, reminded him that he thought that Zhao Hongrun had misremembered the agreed time.

"The king knows." Zhao Hongrun smiled and nodded, and said lightly: "Hang them for a while, when people are in a hurry, they will often ignore the potential danger......

Lu Balon and the rest of the nearby patriarchs were stunned when they heard this, and they all looked at Zhao Hongrun in disbelief.

Because according to the three people who came back to complain, Sain, Aru, and Shuerha said that they persuaded Bitatu according to the dialogue taught by Zhao Hongrun, and it really dispelled Bitatu's suspicions, especially the sentence "We can still be born as dogs for the Wei people, but after this battle, the horns are afraid that they will no longer exist", which is simply a strange sentence, which makes Bitatu believe in Sain and them.

How can a person figure out another person's mind so thoroughly?

In this way, about half a pillar of incense, I heard Zhao Hongrun whisper: "It's almost ......"

Hearing this, the patriarchs on the city gate lifted their spirits.

Immediately, the soldiers of Shangshui, who had received the order, lit a pile of firewood that had been prepared in the city on their own, and then quickly evacuated towards the east gate.

On the city gate tower, Zhao Hongrun explained a few words to Wu Ji of the Shangshui Army, and also led the patriarchs to move along the city wall to the city gate tower in the east of the city, leaving only a small number of Shangshui soldiers who knew about it, still on duty on the city wall.

And in the western suburbs of the city, Bitatu was so anxious that he really wanted to rush to the city at this moment and ask what had happened to Gaqihan and the others.

"Maybe there was something wrong with the moment, so that Gaqihan and them missed the time......

That's all he could do to persuade himself.

And at this moment, there was a fire in the city of Luocheng, and there was a faint exclamation of the soldiers of the merchant near the west city gate.

"Hey, look at the ...... in the city"

"What's going on?"

"Why is there a fire in the city for no reason?"

"Blow the siren ......"

The conversations of those merchant water armies vaguely spread to Bitatu's side, making Bitatu, who understood Wei Chinese, anxious with liver pain.

He scolded again and again in his heart: Gaqihan, you should send someone to open the city gate quickly!

It's no wonder that Bitatu is so anxious, after all, Gaqihan set fire to the city, which is indeed a clever trick, but if the time to open the city gate is delayed, causing the merchant army guarding the city wall to find that the situation is wrong and blow the siren, then this sound is actually a warning to wake up the soldiers in the city to get up and put out the fire, and maybe it will also make their Horned cavalry return in vain.

"Quick! Fast! Hurry!'

Bitatu clenched the reins tightly, muttering in his heart.

And at this moment, there was an unusual movement from the west gate of the city.

"Huh? Who are you...... What do you do? ”

"You...... Someone is in trouble, sound the alarm! Honk! ”

"Defend the gates!"

Near the West City Gate, there was a lot of noise, which made Bitatu even more anxious.

Fortunately, the delay was not long, and after a while, the west gate creaked open.

Seeing this, Bitatu was shocked, and he raised his arms and shouted: "Sons of the horns, kill in!" ”

"Oh-"

The 20,000 cavalrymen rode their horses to the western gate, and Bitatu was about to step forward, but his adopted son Bosil quickly grabbed the reins.

"You...... What are you doing? Bitatu looked at Bosil in shock.

I saw Bo Xile looking at the west gate of the city with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The great patriarch doesn't have to go to the danger in person, the warriors in the clan will capture that Ji Run's for the great patriarch." ”

Bitatu thought about it and felt that this was true, so he and Bosil rode on the high slope, quietly watching the sneak attack.

At this time, among the 20,000 Horned cavalry, Gorgan, the patriarch of the Blackhorn tribe, and Lil Hachi, the patriarch of the Darkhoof tribe, had already entered the West City Gate with the warriors of the clan.

I saw that after the two of them rode their horses and rushed into the west city gate, they really saw more than 20 merchant and water soldiers in the city gate, and there were dozens of people of the Shan or Qiang tribe wearing leather jackets.

"Where is the Wei army's tent?" The patriarch of the Blackhorn tribe, Gorgan, asked with red eyes.

I saw a Qiang man pointing to the depths of the city and saying in the Shan language: "In the Chinese army, you can get there by going in this direction." ”

Hearing this, the patriarch of the Blackhorn tribe, Gorgan, didn't say a word and rushed forward.

Behind him, 20,000 cavalry followed, and as soon as they entered the city, they scattered in all directions.

Especially the warriors of the Wujiao and Wuhoi tribes, for them, this battle can be described as a war of revenge against the Wei people, in retaliation for the Wei people for attacking their tribal camp.

It took a long stick of incense to make the 20,000 cavalry rush into the city one after another and disappear into the night.

And at this moment, a strange thing happened, I saw a Qiang man kick the corpse of a merchant soldier next to his feet, the "corpse" actually sat up, and, with a little smile on his face, stood up with the support of the Shan warrior.

"(Qiang language) The Qiangjiao people have been fooled, let's withdraw too."

"Hmm."

I saw that among these Shangshui soldiers who were pretending to be corpses, there was a hundred generals, who waved his hand and said to the soldiers and soldiers of the Qi tribe around him: "Bring that barrel of fierce fire oil here." ”

Two merchant soldiers brought a heavy wooden barrel from a dark corner of the city wall.

The hundred-man general poked a hole in the barrel with his sword, waved his hand and shouted, "Withdraw!" ”

Suddenly, a black, viscous liquid flowed out of the barrel.

As soon as the words fell, the merchant soldiers on this side of the city gate all left the city and withdrew around the city wall to the north or south, and the merchant soldiers on the city wall also withdrew along the city wall to the south or north city wall while pretending to shout loudly.

I saw that several of these soldiers were carrying a long rope on their backs, and it was not difficult to guess that they were used as a tool for escape.

And the hundred-man general of the merchant army, before leaving, used the torch in his hand to throw it at the pool of black viscous fierce fire oil.

Suddenly, the fire of the city gate cave of the west city gate burst out, and the sea of high temperature caused by the burning of oil immediately swallowed the entire city gate hole, blocking the city gate hole with flames.

At the same time, the cavalrymen who did not know about it were still riding their horses and rushing towards the depths of the city.

But as they rushed, they gradually felt that something was wrong with the situation around them.

You know, when they rushed into the city, sirens sounded on the walls, but until now, they rushed into the city along the road, and they did not encounter any enemies.

Wei Jun...... Are they all dead in their sleep? ”

"No, I'm afraid it's ......"

The patriarch of the Black Hoof tribe, Lil Hatch, glanced around, a little surprise on his face.

The city in his eyes was very quiet, as if there was no Wei person except for them. (To be continued.) )
