Volume 2 Conquest and Killing Chapter 163 Fight for the Gate
"If that Xiang Kejian is right, then the Divine Killing Turquoise is treason, they followed us into the Eagle Yang Pass before in order to cooperate with the enemy, and the current battle situation speaks for itself!"
Duan Lang watched the Xiliang Iron Cavalry break into the pass, the battle became stalemate, and when all the confirmations were confirmed, his hatred for the Divine Killing Cavalry quickly surged, one was the national hatred, and the other was the hatred of the brothers.
"That's right, it must be the Divine Killing Rider who secretly opened the gate and let the Xiliang Iron Rider in!" Xing Gang was on Duan Lang's side, and his hatred for the Divine Killing Rider was no less than Duan Lang's.
But Xuan Shaoning didn't dare to agree, although he could confirm that the Divine Killing Cavalry had indeed betrayed the imperial court based on the previous plot of the battle outside Jinchang City and what Xiang Kejian said before he died, but it would be too far-fetched to say that they were in harmony with the Xiliang cavalry.
An hour ago, when Zhang Hanshan took the lead, the realization of the Divine Killing Cavalry was quite flustered, and there was no effective counterattack organized at all, many of the soldiers were really sleeping in the camp tent, and it could be seen from the fact that they took off their armor, if they really planned to make trouble tonight, how could they behave like this, didn't they let themselves become the target of others?
But if it weren't for the God Killer Rider who fornicated with foreign countries, who would have opened the door? There must be something they haven't figured out yet, and they have to figure it out at this time!
"Duan Lang, Xing Gang! The three of us didn't have any effect on the battle, but we couldn't just sit back and speculate. So, let's now head to the gate and see who opened the gate! ”
Duan Lang and Xing Gang had already identified the Divine Killing Rider as the culprit, and they didn't agree with Xuan Shaoning's "random speculation", but it was also their idea to do something, so they immediately agreed.
The three of them didn't change their night clothes and went straight to the closed door. The path they chose was the suspended plank road near the mountain wall, these plank roads were originally built for the ambush soldiers on the mountain wall to go up and down, and at this time the battle was in full swing, the three of them could not get involved in it, they could only choose these plank roads, and then quickly pass under the cover of night.
When the three of them passed quickly, the feather arrows on the top of the mountain still did not stop, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was controlled within a certain area and could not make greater movements, but the Divine Killing Cavalry attacked the Guan Army from behind, so that Zhang Hanshan could only temporarily focus on the Divine Killing Cavalry. In this way, there was only one aspect left in the attack of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and with the shield there, they began to counterattack.
How the situation on the battlefield changes is not something that Xuan Shaoning and the others have to consider, they only hope that Zhang Hanshan can hold out for a long time, so that there will be more time left for them. After rushing through the battlefield, the three of them finally approached before closing the door, Xuan Shaoning grabbed the two of them and hid in the dark to observe.
There were people guarding the city and the gate, and their military uniforms were all the clothes of the Guan army, at least within the range of sight, they did not see the existence of Xiliang soldiers.
"That's weird! These are all General Zhang's subordinates, there was a battle in the pass, they neither participated in the battle nor closed the gate, what did they want to do? ”
Duan Lang's doubts are also Xuan Shaoning's, if these people are really Guan Jun, then they must not be in the current state, if they are not, then what is the explanation for the military uniforms on their bodies?
"Whether they are the internal work of the Guan army or the enemy's disguise, we will know when we try it!" Xuan Shaoning made an arrangement: "Xing Gang, to attract the enemy's attention, I still leave it to you!" Go up to the city and harass the guards, and don't fight them until you have to! Duan Lang and I verified the identities of these people under the city, and then found an opportunity to shake the hinges to close the door! ”
"Yes!"
Xing Gang wrapped his face and immediately ran along the plank road on the rock wall towards the head of the city, Xuan Shaoning took off his night clothes and ran towards the gate, shouting as he ran, "The enemy has entered the pass, General Zhang is in a stalemate, come and help!" ”
When the guards saw Xuan Shaoning, they immediately raised the spears in their hands, and they stared at Xuan Shaoning and ran towards them. Because Xuan Shaoning was not wearing armor, the guards did not act immediately, but asked vigilantly: "Are you a god killing horseman?" ”
Xuan Shaoning nodded immediately after hearing this, and before he could make the next reaction, the spear must have flown towards his face, he dodged a somersault on his back, and before his feet landed, more spears flew over one after another, while Xuan Shaoning was busy dodging, a spear flew out in the opposite direction behind him, and it was inserted into the chest of a guard.
Duan Lang made a move, he picked up those spears and threw them, knocking down several guards in one fell swoop. When the surviving guard drew his saber and was about to slash, the Jun Wu sword that Xuan Shaoning was carrying with him finally struck, he jumped on the shoulder of a guard and wiped Jun Wu off the neck of this person, and then jumped in the air, before the person landed, Jun Wu slashed the wrists of the other two guards and completely scrapped the hand holding the blade, Duan Lang seized this opportunity to string these guards with a spear.
When the battle under the city began, there was also a panic at the head of the city, Xing Gang only had a small dagger with him, and he attacked at the head of the city according to Xuan Shaoning's instructions. He jumped onto the top of the city, snapping one of the guards' necks before plunging the guard's spear into the chest of the other. After being discovered by the others, Xing Gang immediately fled and did not fight them head-on.
But after all, Xinggang has only one direction to escape, to the end is the mountain wall, on both sides of the city is inside the pass, on the other side is outside the pass, if you jump down, no matter which side is sure to die. Xing Gang had an idea, climbed up to the head of the city with both hands and hung his body outside the city, and stepped on the holes in the city wall that were originally used to shoot.
The guards brandished spears and stabbed at Xing Gang, who twisted and changed positions, and each time he was able to get through the danger. So the guards at the head of the city all came towards him, and more and more spears began to pierce any part of his body, and some even pierced through the holes, making Xing Gang defenseless. In order to avoid the attack, Xing Gang was already farther and farther away from the city, and his whole body was already hanging outside the city wall, relying on his hands to maintain the balance of his body.
"Captain Xuan, hurry up!" Xing Gang gritted his teeth and dodged a spear that pierced through the hole, and could no longer dodge another spear that pierced from the city. The spear pierced Xing Gang's shoulder, Xing Gang endured the pain, clenched the spear and dragged the man from the city head down, and when he fell, Xing Gang stepped on the man's body and jumped up from the gap in the city.
Xuan Shaoning looked up at the head of the city after eliminating one of the guards, but he couldn't see the city head in the night, so he could only speed up to eliminate these guards. In a trance, a guard slashed the saber on Xuan Shaoning's back, fortunately he dodged quickly enough, otherwise the knife would have been able to see the bone, and now it only left a wound on his back.
Xuan Shaoning lay down, wrapped his legs around the scissors to put the guard down, and hit him in the face with a fist until he was unconscious.
"Duan Lang, you close the door quickly, and I'll take care of the rest!"
Duan Lang ran to the hinge and began to shake, the hinge was twice as thick as Duan Lang's arm, usually it was shaken by four warriors at the same time, and it took eight warriors on both sides together, and eight people could use force at the same time to completely open and close the two copper doors that were up to the mountainside, but now there was only Duan Lang alone, even if he used his strength to eat, he only turned less than half a circle after a while, and the palms of his hands were already red.
Xuan Shaoning was also a little exhausted after finishing the last two guards with difficulty, he looked towards the city again, and heard the sound of fighting coming from the city, at least it proved that Xing Gang was still alive. Xuan Shaoning gritted his teeth and ran to Duan Lang's side to work together to twist the hinge. But even if the two of them started at the same time, the rotation of the hinges was still very slow, and at this speed, they would sooner or later be discovered by the enemy, and Xinggang at the head of the city was about to be unable to hold on.
Yes! Xuan Shaoning and Duan Lang both shouted, perhaps they thought that this would stimulate their physical strength more, and the bronze door began to move a little after the two of them turned twice.
Pull it out! Xuan Shaoning pressed his body against the hinge, and every rotation of the hinge took away enough physical strength from the two of them, and after five laps, the two completely lost their strength and could no longer turn.
"Can't stop!" Xuan Shaoning roared, how he hoped that someone could give him enough strength at this time, enough to be able to completely close these two bronze doors.
