Chapter 570: Breaking the City

Previous Chapter

The summer weather is cloudy and uncertain, after the rainstorm and flood season, it really ushered in the scorching sun for several days, and on the wall of the county seat of Chama, Guo Deng's face is cloudy and uncertain, just like the weather. The Qi army did not retreat, but just chose a high ground to look at Shama County from afar.

Guo Deng didn't care at first, the other party has been attacking fiercely for several days, and even the flood season has been introduced into the city, if it is a different city, I am afraid that the city has already surrendered, but they are different, it is a fortress, and they add their own reinforcement, not to mention impregnable, in terms of resisting the siege of the city is not inferior to the famous city in the south of the Yangtze River. And with the support of other people, the people of Yangcheng will be under pressure from all sides, and it is impossible to spend too much time in Shama County, so even if there are many people on the other side, the comprehensive strength can be evenly divided.

But now the situation is not the direction he imagined, Yangcheng soldiers and horses practice day and night, the longer the time, the more frequent the drills, not like recuperation, but there is the meaning of fighting again.

"It's weird." Guo Deng said, "I can't attack for a long time, and the other party's reinforcements have arrived, there is absolutely no reason to stay for a long time, he Luo Kunyu, a general, knows more about these things than me, why does he have the meaning of breaking the net with us now?" Could it be that the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry? ”

Kang Jin shook his head, his face solemn, "I vaguely feel that he is waiting for an opportunity?" ”

"Waiting for a chance?" Guo Deng sneered, if he could really be defeated by someone with reinforcements, he wouldn't be in the future again, it would be too embarrassing.

But at this time, a soldier walked up to the city wall in a panic, "My lord, something is wrong." ”

Guo Deng chuckled in his heart, and had some bad premonitions, but he didn't show it: "What is the panic, what happened, report it quickly." ”

"Yes, the walls of the northern city have been exposed to the sun, the masonry has cracked, the walls have collapsed, and there are gaps."

"What?!" Guo Deng and Kang Jin exclaimed in unison.

Guo Deng's face couldn't hold back, not only him, but even Kang Jin was not calm, there were not many soldiers and horses in Brake County, the reason why they were able to fight with the Yangcheng army was that most of them relied on the advantages of the terrain, if the city was broken, then their biggest reliance would be gone.

The soldier then asked, "My lord, what shall we do?" ”

What to do? Guo Deng and Kang Jin glanced at each other, and they wanted to scold their mothers a little. But he still pretended to be calm and said: "This matter must not be made public, the point is that Qi Jun must not be let know, you quickly take people to ......"

Before he finished speaking, another soldier came from below, "Report to your lordship, the city wall of the south gate is broken, please make a decision quickly." ”

After a while, several people came, all with the same question, Guo Deng said with a cold face: "What are you all doing to eat, is there no one to repair the city wall?" Now hurry up and renovate it...... No, it's too late to rely on the defenders alone, and the people, men, women, and children, will be requisitioned to repair the city walls, and the walls must be repaired as soon as possible, remember, it doesn't matter how many people die, at all costs. ”

The soldiers' hearts froze, and they clasped their fists and responded: "Obey." ”

After the arrangement was made, Guo Deng looked at Kang Jin, lost the support of the city wall, and now the most important thing is to ask Yunlou for help, "Mr. Kang, now that my Shama County is suffering from this catastrophe, do you see if you can ask the sect for reinforcements again?" As soon as this matter passes, I am willing to serve your dogs and horses for the whole county. "Originally, the relationship between Yunlou and Shama County was just a cooperative relationship, nominally belonging to the leadership of Yunlou, but it still belonged to the status of listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement, and now Guo Deng's words undoubtedly show his willingness to be loyal.

If he heard this as usual, Kang Jin might have been very happy, but now, he looked out of the city and shook his head slowly: "It's too late, opportunity, it turns out that this is the opportunity they have been waiting for." ”

As he was talking, there was a horn of attack outside the city, and then, a large number of Qi troops appeared out of nowhere around the city wall, shouting and rushing over, and it was Luo Kunyu who took the lead, the face that he had stood at the head of the wall countless times and sneered, but now he had changed his situation and became a lamb to the slaughter. This time, instead of attacking the relatively weak gate, they ran straight to the corner, striking with the siege sticks, each of which brought a loud noise and crumbling pieces of masonry. In a few moments, the famously strong walls were cut through like wet paper. The defenders were obviously defenseless, and were attacked by the sudden siege army, so they had to flee in all directions, and in an instant the cries of escape were heard in the city.

Guo Deng's face was gloomy, he was not a fool, the collapse of the city wall was not accidental, the Qi army was not fighting an unprepared battle, and the training of soldiers and horses was not to break the net with him, but he expected that they would have this accident and waited for them here...... They were calculated.

Guo Deng stared blankly, and finally uttered a word for a long time: "Escape?" ”

Kang Jin smiled meaninglessly, "Can you escape?" ”

"Are you waiting to be his captive?" Guo Deng said angrily, he didn't want to become a prisoner, he knew what he had done, he killed so many people, how good could the end be? Unless......

He quietly glanced at Kang Jin, unless he told the whole story of Yunlou, as the so-called dead Dao friend does not die in the poor Dao, he can't blame himself.

But he suddenly found that Kang Jin's expression was a little weird, and the corners of his mouth even hooked a cruel arc, this expression was most familiar to him, because he would also have this action when he was ruthless.

It's not good, he must be afraid that I will leak my secrets and will kill me!

Guo Deng figured things out in an instant, and a tumbling left the place, and the moment he left, a sharp sword came as expected and stabbed the position where he was standing just now, if he hadn't dodged, he had now been stabbed in the back.

Rao is like this, and a cut was made on his arm because he didn't dodge enough in time, and the blood didn't stop.

Guo Deng's heart was cold, and he shouted: "Kang Jin, what do you want to do?" "What for? It's almost the same as you think, the dead Dao friends don't die and the poor Dao, if we don't kill you, I'm afraid that the matter of our Yunlou will be shaken out by you, this is not good. Besides, Luo Kunyu knows you as the lord of the city, but he doesn't recognize me, I just need to disguise myself to get out of the city, wouldn't it be a burden to take you with me. Kang Jin said, but the sword moves in his hand became more and more ruthless. After all, Guo Deng was only born as a horse thief, and he couldn't be compared with Kang Jin, the elder of Yunlou who was proficient in swordsmanship, and after a while, his body was already full of scars and he was dying.

"I'm sorry, Lord Castle." Without the slightest hesitation, Kang Jin put the sword into Guo Deng's chest, then glanced at the city, turned around and flew down the city wall.
