Everyone in the city was stunned, not only the rebel soldiers but also the personal guards under Wang Yuan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 It was the first time for many people to witness such killing methods and thunder moves, which brought great shock and fear to their hearts. So they all stood there, not knowing what to do. The noise of the fighting at the head of the city suddenly calmed down for a few breaths, as if the people had been forced to take a few breaths.

"Kill!" Wang Yuan's loud shouts broke the silence of this moment, and the guards who reacted immediately understood that this was the best opportunity to fight back. With Wang Yuan's order, the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky. The guards raised their swords again and began to counterattack, but the rebel defenders at this time no longer had the intention of fighting, I don't know who began to retreat, and the rest of the rebels also began to flee, and after a while, more than 200 rebels turned around and ran along the city wall like lost dogs. They were trembling and cold, where else could they be in the mood to fight, after witnessing the earth-shattering move just now, who still had the slightest heart to attack? There is only one thought in my mind at the moment, and that is to flee this hellish killing ground as soon as possible.

A moment later, the situation that was still under siege just now was critical, and suddenly there was not even a single living rebel soldier in front of Wang Yuan and the others. As long as they can run, they have disappeared under the city wall, and those who can't run have been cut down. Everyone finally reunited and breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Yuan had already rushed to Gongsun Lan's side to support her, because Wang Yuan knew that Gongsun Lan's killing move consumed a lot of Yuan Force, and every time it was used, it would take a long time to recover, which was also the reason why Gongsun Lan didn't use it easily.

"Cousin, how do you feel? Hurry up and rest. Wang Yuan held Gongsun Lan's arm and said.

Gongsun Lan's face was slightly pale, and she reached out to put her hand on Wang Yuan's shoulder, Wang Yuan could feel her body trembling slightly, which was a sign of detachment.

"I'll be fine, just wait for me to breathe for a while. After a long time without using a killing move, there is indeed a sense of reluctance. Gongsun Lan said in a low voice.

Wang Yuan stretched out his hand and picked up Gongsun Lan's body, carried her away from the bloody place, and came to a clean place on the side of the city wall to put it down. Gongsun Lan sat cross-legged and began to pranayama. Wang Yuan ordered people to guard them, and then inspected the wounds of Qingyun'er and Ziyun'er, and after dressing them with medicine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After counting the number of people, more than 100 personal guard soldiers were killed and wounded more than 30 people, which Wang Yuan never expected. It's just that he was entangled with hundreds of soldiers guarding the gate, and he actually lost so many elite subordinates, Wang Yuan wanted to scold his mother angrily. Blame yourself for not planning well.

Li Heng was also slightly injured, he was stabbed in the arm, and he was now leaning on the battlements with his wounds wrapped in his wounds to breathe. Wang Yuan walked over and smiled, "Lord Wang, how are the injuries?" ”

Li Heng was shocked, but said in a trembling voice: "I'm fine, some minor injuries." Marshal, I wasn't greedy for life or afraid of death, and I also killed two enemy soldiers. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "The performance of the prince is very good, it can be said that it is beyond my expectations." I have a great opinion of Prince Feng. However, the harder fight is still to come, and the prince must be prepared. ”

Li Heng straightened his chest and said, "Don't worry, marshal, I'm not afraid." Don't worry about me. ”

Wang Yuan raised his big finger to express his approval, Li Heng's performance was indeed beyond his expectations, although he was a little timid, but he did not collapse. Many people would have collapsed by the time they encountered the situation just now, but he didn't. It seems that I underestimated him.

The sound of killing at the city gate shook the sky, and Zhao Qing and Tan Ping were attacking the city gate with soldiers and horses. But Wang Yuan knew that it was just a feint. Because unless they find the gate on the inner wall and take it, they will never really attack it. Once it is attacked, it will be self-defeating. Looking at the high wall of the pass that runs diagonally in front of you, the torches are already shaking, and the voices of people are boiling. It was clear that the rebels had begun to place troops and horses on the inner walls to prepare for the influx of enemy troops after the city was broken, and time was running out.

Over there, Gongsun Lan breathed for a moment and slowly got up, Wang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Cousin, don't be anxious, you must not hurt your body, you have to rest for a while." ”

Gongsun Lan smiled: "I have regained my strength. ”

Wang Yuan was surprised: "How is it possible? I remember that in the past, if you consumed too much Yuan Force, you had to recuperate for a few days. ”

Gongsun Lan smiled and said: "That was before, do you think that I am the same as you, and my martial arts are not advancing but retreating?" Besides, I had already taken the elixir just now. Speaking of which, you have helped, in the past two years, you have collected a lot of precious medicines of exotic flowers and herbs, and I have allocated dozens of Yuan Qi Pills in my spare time, which is used to quickly restore Yuan Li. I took one just now, and Xin'er pushed the blood for me, and I was fine. ”

Wang Yuan will be skeptical. Gongsun Lan didn't explain much, reached out and grabbed a few pieces of gravel from the ground, and raised them casually, but listening to the puff sound, the rubble hit several corpses a few feet away, all embedded in the flesh and blood. Only then did Wang Yuan believe that Gongsun Lan was really fine.

"What's next?" Gongsun Lan clapped her hands and asked.

Wang Yuan pointed to the torch figure on the middle wall and said, "You must find the city gate on the middle wall and open the city gate." Otherwise, you won't be able to beat the level. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded and said, "Without further ado, we need to act immediately." Even if the soldiers and horses outside feint, there may be casualties. ”

Wang Yuan immediately gathered everyone and began to move, and several seriously injured guards could not accompany him, so he could only carry down the city wall, find a secluded house in the pass to settle down, and leave a few guards to take care of them. The rest of the people followed Wang Yuangong, Sun Lan and others directly through the pass and alleys, and went straight to the middle wall to kill.

Along the way, the pass was empty, and no enemy soldiers were encountered. This pass was originally only garrisoned and no people lived, and at this moment the enemy army was attacking the city, and the soldiers naturally all went to the city wall to defend it, so almost every house was empty. The hundreds of soldiers who retreated from the city wall did not know where to go, presumably either going up to the middle wall to defend or going to the city gate to defend.

Knowing that there was still a small group of infiltrating enemies in the city, the rebels in the pass ignored them, which made people a little puzzled. However, after a simple search of these stone houses along the way, I found that there was a reason for them to ignore Wang Yuan, a small group of people. For there is nothing in these houses, and there is no room for men, and even the houses are empty, and there is not a grain of food or material for them. And the stone house is not afraid of being set on fire, and there is nothing worth guarding at all, so it is just abandoned.

This also indirectly explains the reason why Wang Yuan and the others have no one to care about at all, and let them break through in the pass, in fact, they can't make a name for themselves.

Wang Yuan didn't waste any time searching through the stone houses in the pass, and went straight along a slightly open road in the middle to the middle wall of the pass. Soon after, the group reached the end of the street to the north of the middle wall. Out of the alley, a high wall in front of me stretched east and west, and the lights were bright, and people shuttled. I don't know how many soldiers and horses are defending the high wall.

No sooner had they emerged from the alley than they were spotted by the defenders on the high wall. The arrow towers on the city wall rained down with a rain of arrows, forcing everyone back into the streets.

When the arrows stopped, Wang Yuan removed a bed board in a stone house as a shield, and climbed to the top of a stone house to observe the situation. But the high wall in front of him was much taller than when he observed it from the cliff yesterday. It lies straight in the middle of the pass, and forms two barriers with another high wall on the opposite side, sandwiching the official road in the middle, and isolating the pass from the official road.

The high wall on the north side of the wall in front of me is two feet high, and there are more than a dozen arrow towers on it, one almost every ten steps. The tower covers the entire area from the top of the wall to some of the alleys. There is also an open area of nearly fifty paces between the alley and the high wall. It's flat and open, with no hiding place. It is conceivable that if you want to climb the high wall from the pass, you must first withstand the baptism of arrows on the city wall. This is even more difficult than the siege, because he has no siege equipment, and he only has dozens of men in his hands. Wang Yuan not only frowned.

Gongsun Lan asked in a low voice under the stone house, "How is the situation?" Is there a way to go up the wall? ”

Wang Yuan climbed down the roof, picked up a branch and drew a picture on the ground: "There must be a staircase to the upper city, but it may be difficult for dozens of us to attack it." Those towers alone are enough for us to drink a pot. Besides, there are still many soldiers and horses guarding the city wall, and it will be a melee if you go up. Our goal is to find the gates on the city walls, and destroy them so that the soldiers and horses can enter the pass after attacking, and this is the goal. After the soldiers and horses entered the pass, it was no longer necessary to take the high wall. So I think the first thing to do is to find the city gate and occupy it. ”

Gongsun Lan frowned and said: "It can only be like this first, but in the end, I am afraid that it will have to be attacked." If you find the gate, how do you approach it? ”

Wang Yuan smacked his lips and said, "Let's find the city gate first." ”

The crowd kept a distance from the high wall and searched the alleys from west to east, but the entire wall stood in black eyes, but there was no trace of the city gate on the wall. Everyone was a little puzzled and gathered together to discuss.

Li Xin'er said: "Isn't it possible to open the city gate under this wall?" ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said: "It is absolutely impossible, since the high wall blocks the official road directly into the pass, there must be a city gate leading to the pass, otherwise how can their supplies, grain, grass, soldiers and horses enter the pass?" ”

Li Heng said: "Could it be that there is an authenticity? ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "The ground is full of rocks, where does the tunnel come from?" ”

"What the hell is going on here?" Li Heng frowned.

Wang Yuan looked up at the high wall in front of him and pondered, and everyone sighed and rubbed their hands anxiously. Seeing that time is passing little by little, it is better to hide and act when it is dark, if it is dawn, there is nowhere to hide, and it is more difficult to move.

"I think the wall must be under that high wall, but we can't see it, and the enemy must have done some camouflage." Wang Yuan suddenly pointed to a brightly lit city wall and whispered.

"How can you say it's there? It doesn't look out of the ordinary anywhere. Gongsun Lan was surprised.

Wang Yuan smiled: "Because the pattern there is a little different. ”

"Oh?" Everyone stretched out their heads to look at that section of the city wall, but they couldn't see the name at all, and turned their heads to look at Wang Yuan suspiciously, it was hard to say that Wang Yuan was guessing.

Chapter 925

"If you look closely, do you notice that the layout of the arrow towers on the high walls there is different from the others?" Wang Yuan pointed to the arrow tower above the high wall and reminded.

As smart as Gongsun Lan, a smile immediately appeared on the corner of her mouth, nodded slightly, and gave Wang Yuan an approving look. The rest of the people watched it for a long time and didn't know why, and they still didn't know what Wang Yuan meant.

Wang Yuan had to explain: "Do you count how many arrow towers there are on this high wall? ”

A Luo said: "Nine." ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "It's the nine, Ah Luo observed very carefully. You see, the arrow towers next to them are basically one every fifty or sixty steps, and the distance is about the same. But why were there three towers concentrated in that section of the wall? Twenty steps to get together? Two of them are almost next to each other? What is the reason for this? ”

"What's so strange about that? I don't get it. Li Xin'er frowned.

Wang Yuan was speechless, Twelve Niang was rough, so she didn't bother to think about these details, hoping that she would understand that she didn't think about it. But Ah Luo was so little bit by Wang Yuan, and suddenly understood. Shen said: "The place where the arrow tower is concentrated, it must be the place where the defense needs to be strengthened. A high wall that needs to be defended is either the upper stone staircase or the gate. So it was, and nine times out of ten, the gates were there. ”

As soon as Ah Luo said, everyone suddenly opened. It's absolutely possible, otherwise why add two towers in the middle of the wall for no reason to strengthen the defense? There must be something there that needs to be heavily defended.

Everyone immediately followed Wang Yuan to the corresponding direction under the city wall, and found that the street facing this section of the high wall was the widest alley, and the road seemed to have been rested and paved with bluestone slabs. This verifies Wang Yuan's inference. It must have been the city gate that was opened here, so that the goods brought in could enter the pass through the official road. And this slightly wider, manicured street must have been built to facilitate the entry and exit of cars and horses. If it weren't for the connection between the two, such subtle changes would be really confusing.

Everyone admires it, and the handsome man can always see the clues from the subtleties, and this kind of insight and mind makes people have to admire.

However, the crowd looked hopefully at the opposite wall, only to find that there was nothing unusual about that section of the wall, and there was no sign of a gate there. The light was not dim under the torches at the head of the city, and if there was a city gate, it would be visible within a distance of dozens of paces.

"It must be hidden and disguised, and this kind of technique is not new. If this gate is not disguised, will the enemy who enters the corridor when defending against the enemy be able to discover the gate and attack it from the outside in? Therefore, it must be disguised in ordinary times. Ah Luo, you are accurate in archery, why don't you shoot a few arrows and test where the city gate is? Wang Yuan said.

"This ...... How to tempt. "Ah Luo doesn't know why.

"It's simple, shoot a few arrows at the wall below the arrow tower. If you hit a hidden gate, an arrow will stick to it. If it is a bluestone wall, the arrows will not be able to attach. Wang Yuan said.

Ah Luo suddenly took off the bow and arrow and bent the bow and arrow. In order to see more clearly and intuitively, Wang Yuan asked her to replace it with a rocket arrow, and after igniting the rocket with a fire breaker, Ah Luo shot a rocket towards the city wall. The rocket pierced the night sky and flew straight towards the city walls, but a moment later the crack of the tip of the arrow against the stone was heard in the distance, and the burning flame sparked, but it quickly fell and went out. It was a direct shot at the bluestone wall.

This shot provoked a counterattack by the enemy at the head of the city, and several arrow towers immediately began to shoot arrows at the hiding places of the people, and the archers on the city walls also fired indiscriminately. Fortunately, there were many hiding places, both inside and outside the stone house, and there were no casualties.

When the rain of arrows stopped, Wang Yuan asked Ah Luo to shoot again, this time Ah Luo ignited three rockets in a row, and shot three arrows in a row in an instant, and the three arrows were lined up in a horizontal line, shooting along the distance of more than a dozen steps between the two arrow towers in the lower section of the city wall. The trajectory of the rocket once again revealed the hiding place, and another rain of arrows hit the city, and everyone hurriedly shrank to hide.

After the rain of arrows stopped, everyone looked over, and one of the guards shouted in surprise: "I was hit by an arrow, and the flames are still burning." ”

When everyone looked at it, sure enough, a cluster of flames was burning at a height of three feet above the ground. The rocket's oil bursts when the arrow is attached, and if it comes into contact with wood or flammable materials, it will burn. This rocket obviously hit the wood, not the bluestone wall. Otherwise it simply would not have been able to burn for such a long time.

The results speak for themselves, the gates are there, there is no doubt about it. It's just for camouflage, maybe the city gate is coated with sludge and black charcoal, etc., which is no different from the surrounding black walls, which makes people unable to see from the outside.

The defenders at the head of the city seemed to see the fire burning at the city gate, and someone poured a basin of water from above to extinguish the flames. However, this move confirmed the speculation that it was the city gate. If it weren't for the city gate, for fear of the fire spreading, why would the soldiers above do anything more and use basins of water to extinguish him?

"Now the most critical time has come, how to open the city gate, this is the most difficult thing." Wang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Gongsun Lan said slowly: "Xin'er and I rushed to the city wall, on the one hand, we can create chaos and give you a chance to approach, and on the other hand, if I have the opportunity, I hope to capture the arrow tower." These three arrow towers are not pulled, even if the soldiers and horses come in, it will be difficult to attack them. ”

Wang Yuan said: "I'm afraid it's too dangerous for the two of you, so you bring more than a dozen personal guard brothers to cover you." ”

Gongsun Lan shook her head and said, "I don't want to be cumbersome, even Xin'er, I think she is very cumbersome." But it's much better than you, and it can help me more or less without distracting me. ”

Everyone was speechless, but Gongsun Lan was not proud, and this was indeed the case. Instead of distracting her, let her move freely. Wang Yuan immediately made a decision and nodded in agreement. Gongsun Lan and Li Xin'er drew their swords in their hands and moved east. Wang Yuan repeatedly told the two to be careful, but the two girls didn't look back.

At that moment, Wang Yuan immediately ordered everyone around him to prepare to charge. Once Li Xin'er and Gongsun Lan attracted firepower, their group would immediately rush through the open field of thirty steps to the dead corner under the city wall. And it was only by opening the gates quickly. It is said to be a dead end, but in fact, it is only a place where arrows cannot be shot, and the defenders at the head of the city will definitely throw down rolling logs and stones, so the time is extremely limited, and if they do not succeed quickly, they will suffer huge casualties.

Hesitantly sneaking in, the crowd didn't carry shields or other defensive arrows, but there were some bedboard and door leaves and other things in the surrounding stone houses, and everyone immediately began to disassemble these things as objects to block arrows. Wang Yuan found a large cauldron lid, which could just block most of his body, like a wooden shield.

After getting ready, Wang Yuan whistled towards the darkness to the east. Gongsun Lan and Li Xin'er heard the whistle and knew that Wang Yuan had finished preparations, so the two masters dodged out of the alley and rushed towards a staircase to the upper city dozens of steps away.

The speed of the two was not fast, with the skills of Gongsun Lan and Li Xin'er, the distance of fifty steps was almost in the blink of an eye, but in order to attract the attention of the defenders at the head of the city, the speed of the two had obviously slowed down a lot. They were also found by the defenders at the head of the city, and several defenders shouted and pointed in the direction where the two were. The archers on several arrow towers reacted immediately, and the archers, who were already in full battle, immediately shot indiscriminately in the direction where the master and apprentice were. The archers of the defenders at the head of the city also shot arrows at the two men. For a while, Gongsun Lan and Li Xin'er were surrounded by stray arrows like rain of arrows, and they had the posture of shooting the two of them.

Gongsun Lan's master and apprentice could not be easily killed by arrows, the two of them acted almost in unison, and at the same time ripped off the cloak behind their backs, holding a sword in one hand and shaking the cloak in the other. Two cloaks whirled in front of them. The feathered arrows that flew were scattered in all directions by the blows, or simply wrapped in cloaks. The seemingly fierce and swift feather arrows could not penetrate the barrier composed of this layer of brocade.

When the master and apprentice in the other compartment were baptized by feather arrows, in this compartment, Wang Yuan shouted: "Rush!" Dozens of black shadows immediately rushed out of the dark alleys, rushing like cheetahs to the bottom of the city walls.

The defenders at the head of the city immediately discovered their traces, and someone immediately turned the arrow to shoot at Wang Yuan and the others, and informed the archers on the arrow tower to turn their guns. However, the distance of fifty steps is too short, even if it is just an ordinary person, it can only be rushed by a few breaths. What's more, these are carefully selected soldiers. The enemy's bow and arrow had just shot a round, and there were only a dozen feather arrows inserted in the door and bed boards of everyone, and only three feather arrows were inserted in the lid of the pot in Wang Yuan's hand, and most of them had already rushed to the dead corner of the bow and arrow, and their bodies were tightly attached to the city wall.

Without further ado, after a while, the city was afraid that it would rain rolling wood and stones, Wang Yuan did not dare to slack off, and quickly touched the location of the hidden city gate that was shot by the arrow just now, the cold light in his hand flickered, and the broken army sword was raised high, and he sneered at the city gate is a sword cut down.

There was a click, and the black, bluestone-like walls made the sound of wood cracking. It was a wooden gate hidden in the city walls. Wang Yuan was overjoyed, and swung his long sword continuously, slashing at the heavy city gate. The gate was made of logs, and it was extremely heavy, and it was not cut directly with the advantage of breaking the sword, but only a few cracks. Wang Yuan kicked hard at the crack a few times, and the city gate made a cracking sound of Kerala, but it did not break.

At the same time, the shouts of the rebels above the high wall were clearly heard: "Throw the rocks and stone them." ”
