Chapter 550: Midnight Attack

To the west of Yangquan City, the light cavalry of the three battalions of Yang Zhi, Sun An, and Luan Tingyu have been on duty here for three days, blocking the road and capturing dozens of spies and spies. This afternoon, Chao Gai mobilized heavy artillery to attack the city, and suffered heavy losses, and the east gate almost collapsed. An Shirong spurted out a mouthful of old blood and fainted.

Shi Bao led 1,500 cavalry over, took out the military order and said to the three people: "The governor of the capital has an order, tonight our four battalions of cavalry will attack the west gate, and the time has come to make meritorious contributions." ”

After the three of them received the military order, Sun An asked: "Our fourth battalion of cavalry is only 5,000 now, and there is no ladder, so it may not be easy to attack the West Gate." The east wall should be scrapped, so why not attack from the east gate. ”

Shi Bao said: "An Shirong is not an ordinary person, what we can think of, An Shirong can also think of, I think that An Shirong has already transferred the reserve team to the east gate, and now I am afraid that the attack on the east gate will be just encountered." The governor has an arrangement, the fire starts in the middle of the night, and the city gate should be opened inside, and after we enter the city, we will disrupt the defense of the city, and then kill to the south gate and let the infantry enter the city. In addition, the governor confessed that if he met An Shirong, he would try to capture him as much as possible, and if he couldn't do it, he would kill him. ”

Yang Zhi was overjoyed and said: "It turns out that my brother has an internal response in the city, as long as he can enter the city, there will be no more obstacles." ”

Shi Bao said some more details, and everyone nodded in understanding. The 5,000 cavalry was more than ten miles away from the city wall, and they did not approach the city gate until the agreed midnight.

Let's say that the person arranged in the city should be no one else, it is the second intelligence department, and the person in charge is moving. Shi Qian is a person at the level of the ancestor of the thief, and in the past few years, he has collected some strange people in the rivers and lakes, there are masters like Shi Qian who climb over the wall and go to the house, and there are masters who are good at camouflage and lurking, there are only fifty people in total, and all of them are dispatched today. The time migration is also a lot of pressure, but Chao Gai said that this is the first fortified city of Tian Hu's army and must be taken as soon as possible, and the battle must be fought beautifully.

There is actually a reason why the West Gate was chosen, the other three gates were almost blocked by stones, which means that it is useless to knock the gate open from the outside, because the hole in the gate is full of stones.

There were as many as 5,000 defenders on the west city wall, and there were about 500 people in one gate tower alone, and there were 150 people in three shifts. It's okay for these people from the intelligence department to find out the news, but it's not good to fight hard, but there is a way to move from time to time, he rebelled against a small officer of Tian Hujun, this person's family is a wealthy family nearby, and he was forced to join Tian Hujun, worried that Tian Hujun's defeat would regret and affect his family, so he was willing to surrender and make meritorious contributions.

In a dilapidated courtyard near the West Gate, Shi Qian was making the final mobilization, and the combat steps had been practiced I don't know how many times. First of all, Shi Qian infiltrated the West City Gate in the middle of the night, lit a small cannon powder pack, blew up the jack gate mechanism in the city gate, and then released a large amount of poison*.

The special service officers took advantage of the chaos to push the cart full of artillery to hit the hole in the city gate, and as soon as the cart ignited, the city gate would explode.

When the time came, Shi Qian put on a black night coat and said, "Brothers, I'm out, this battle must be fought well." Our secret service has never been favored by the military, so we have to fight for it. May all of us live to attend the celebration. ”

After that, he moved out, turned over and ran from the roof to another room like a tanuki. Climbed the walls from close to the trees. There was a young soldier standing on the female wall, and the soldier felt a dark figure pass in front of him, rubbed his eyes, and found nothing, so he was relieved. The mechanism of the jack gate was in the city gate tower, and there were more than a dozen soldiers sleeping and resting in it.

Shi Qian quietly went in, took out a small cannonball bag, lit it, and went out.

Immediately afterwards, an upside-down golden hook was used to throw a few bamboo tubes from above the hole in the city gate.

There was a loud "boom", and the mechanism of the jack gate was broken, and the jack gate was stuck, and it couldn't fall anymore.

Besides, dozens of soldiers were on duty in the city gate cave, and suddenly saw a few bamboo tubes smoking, although they didn't know what it was, but instinctively knew the danger, and wanted to dodge, suddenly the smoke was thick, and the throat was suddenly itching, coughing, and tears.

A cart of four strong men pushed and rushed to the city gate, and the feather arrows on the city tower swished to this side, and the brush shot over. This could not stop the cart from moving forward, and when it finally entered the city gate, the lead was almost burned.

The four agents had towels on their mouths and wanted to flee, but the nearby soldiers and horses had already reacted and surrounded the city gate.

The four spies shouted: "Captain, we didn't disgrace you, the rooster and the dog thief still made meritorious contributions." ”

On the roof in the distance, Shi Qian could see clearly, he couldn't do anything, he was not a martial arts master, and he was not good at charging into battle.

There was a loud bang, and the earth shook. The heavy gates were crumbled and flew everywhere.

"Look, the gates are open." Sun Andao.

"Rush." The four battalions entered the city in turn, and the hand-to-hand fighting was extremely fierce.

Shi Qian came over and said, "I'll lead the way, let's rush to the south gate." ”

The four battalions were separated, Shi Bao and Sun An went to attack the south gate. Yang Zhi and Luan Tingyu guarded the west gate. Although the enemy army was not well trained, it was large in number, and the streets of the city were narrow, so the great role of cavalry could not be played. The battle was extremely fierce, Yang Zhi retreated one after another, Suo's oversized axe was full of blood, the soldiers were bloody, and the corpses on the ground were everywhere.

However, the morale of the enemy began to slowly decline, revealing timidity and fatigue.

"Surrender to avoid death, and treat the captives leniently."

"Surrender or die,"

Enemy soldiers laid down their arms and surrendered, and after a while, more than 1,000 prisoners were gathered, and the west gate was finally controlled. Yang Zhi looked left and right, and there were only a thousand soldiers left, from the 1,500 soldiers who went out to fight, and the number was constantly reduced.

Luan Tingyu said: "Battalion Commander Yang, your battalion has suffered too many casualties, hold the west gate, I went to support them, the south gate is a hard bone." ”

"Okay, don't worry. Here we are. Yang Zhidao.

In fact, the South Gate was not so intense, for no other reason, and the West Gate did not train for a long time. The soldiers at the south gate were only three or two months of recruits, and where they had ever fought, the soldiers who had never seen blood were the same as the common people. The cavalry of Shi Bao and Sun An were very fierce, and thousands of soldiers in front blocked the road. Two generals led the troops there. Shi Bao didn't answer, and the bow and arrow swished two arrows, hitting the throat of the enemy general in the hazy night.

Sun An exclaimed, this stone treasure's archery technique is not simple.

Without the chaos of the officer corps, Sun An and Shi Bao led the troops to clash left and right, and the enemy soldiers who fought were embarrassed, and it didn't take long for someone to put down their weapons and surrender.
