In the dark, Tang Bin also personally commanded 6,000 soldiers and quietly rushed outside the east gate. is different from the North Gate, because the North Gate is the place where the Shanyang Army has recently moved, and in this snowy night, the North Gate is the best place, so the North Gate was laid down by Ji Yun with a lot of soldiers, and he also deliberately used a plan.

The reason why the Shanyang Army outside the north gate was so easy to find was also related to Tang Bin letting the two thousand soldiers light a few torches. In fact, his original intention was to use that as bait to attract the attention of the Yanzhou government army in the city. Needless to say, the result has already been achieved. The army of Tang Bin's personal commander quietly sneaked outside the east gate and was not discovered by the guards guarding the city.

Tang Bin looked up, only to see a few faintly burning torches stuck in the city, more than a dozen Yanzhou soldiers who were in charge of the night vigil were pestled on the city tower like wooden stakes, their eyes staring blankly at the dark void ahead, and a patrol of more than ten people was slowly coming from a hundred steps away.

"Sure enough, I am prepared, if on weekdays, I am afraid that the people above will go to sleep or hide to keep warm, so I won't be so stupid to be on duty and patrol here." Captain Xu Qing said in a deep voice.

Tang Bin didn't care about Xu Qing's words, but asked, "According to the agreement, when we release the flame arrows, it will be the signal for the actions of the brothers in the city, it should be right." ”

Xu Qing nodded and said, "That's right, the intelligence officers arranged it like this, and it was also to avoid any mistakes between us and the city." ”

"Let the brethren prepare, and when there is a lag in the response at the North Gate, we will start moving." Tang Bin said with sharp eyes. Then he focused his attention on the north gate and waited for the situation there. Of course, he also wanted to know whether the Yanzhou army in the city had dealt with his actions this time.

A moment later, the North did react. Compared with the silent east gate, the north of Qixian County is full of fire, and the sound of killing is shocking. Needless to say, the big war has begun.

Captain Xu Qingsen said: "My lord, there is a sound of fighting in the north of the city. It seems that this long history of coming back from the city to raise food is deliberately aimed at us. ”

Tang Bin's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Whatever the fuck is going on, don't pay attention to it." This battle is already on the line, and it has to be sent. Come on, put a rocket on the left front! Xu Qing, prepare to take the city gate! The rest of the brothers, when the gates of the city are opened, go with me into the city, and remember that whoever does not surrender and who resists will be put to death. Now, we don't have time to stalemate with them for too long. In order to break the city, the Yanzhou army must be defeated in the shortest possible time, don't forget, there are still 30,000 young people in the city, and only by defeating the Yanzhou army can these young people not continue to fight for Qi County. ”

"Chirp ......" several rockets suddenly took off into the air, shining in the sky, and then extinguished. Although it was only for a short time, those who had a good idea in the city could still clearly see that this was done at the east gate.

As soon as the flaming arrows flew out of the sky, the defenders of the East Gate began to inspect in all directions. Because it was really night, because the Sanyang soldiers were wrapped in white cloaks, the defenders on the city wall did not notice the direction of the arrows for a while. But they also knew that at this moment it was the time of the battle at the north gate, and there must be an enemy attack, so the guards did not dare to be careless, and more than a thousand soldiers went to the city together, guarding the side.

"Pass the order and let the archers dive forward for a white meter! Together with the brothers in the city, they will cover and shoot at the city walls. After seeing the defenders on the wall of Dongcheng appear, Tang Bin breathed a sigh of relief.

Not far from the east gate of the city, in a shop, one after another samurai dressed in white robes gathered here. They all have horizontal swords and shields in their hands. And these samurai emerged from the backyard of this shop. It turned out that there was a big secret room underneath. A moment later, more than fifty people gathered in this small shop.

"There's news, at the east gate. Brothers from several other shops also came out, ready to act. Our purpose is to open the gates. A middle-aged man with a scar on his face said in a deep voice.

The rest of the people did not react, and immediately opened the outer door of the shop, and in an instant, more than 50 people rushed out together. This is also true in this shop, as well as in several other shops. In just one street, there were three or four hundred people. In fact, there were three to five hundred people in the north, and much fewer in the south and west, ranging from more than a hundred.

When these nearly 400 elite warriors quietly rushed straight to the east gate, no one found out. Of course, the most important thing is that the battle in the north attracts everyone. In addition, the white cloaks on the soldiers' bodies covered them very little, so they would not be easily discovered.

The defenders of the east gate, although they knew that there was an enemy army attacking the city, they all thought it was the north, and never thought of the east. What no one even expected was that the enemy army was attacking from behind the city, not from outside the city.

Four hundred of the most elite warriors silently penetrated the east gate. Then, under the cover of night, they soon arrived at the city gate, and the best men at the front quietly dealt with the soldiers who came to patrol back and forth.

"Don't hide it, just do it!" Among the samurai, the man with a scar on his face said in a deep voice.

"Kill!" Hundreds of soldiers the same color as the snow on the ground rushed out, and the gate of Xiangze was killed.

"Enemy attack!" Under the hole of the city gate, a city guard finally found out and immediately shouted loudly. Before he could shout, he was knocked to the ground by an arrow from the crossbow of the white-clothed warrior. This shout immediately touched the nervous hearts of the defenders at the head of the city. Immediately, all the soldiers took their spears and swords and began to look out of the city.

"No, it's inside, it's underneath!" Some soldiers shouted urgently, and sure enough, the defenders on the city wall found that there were screams one after another under the city, and the sound of weapons began to be louder, and it became louder and louder. This caused the defenders of the city to turn their eyes and run inward to observe. At this time, a large group of white-robed warriors suddenly appeared at the city gate, and they brandished horizontal knives one by one, chopping melons and vegetables to attack the defenders who were lighting a fire to keep warm under the city gate......

The defending generals at the head of the city were shocked, and they couldn't think about how these white-robed warriors could appear in the city, so he took out the long knife at his waist with a swipe and shouted: "The enemy has entered the city, ring the alarm bell, stop them, don't let them grab the city gate." ”

"My lord, our people are getting moving." Outside the city gate, Captain Liu Zhi said excitedly.

"Shoot the arrows!" Tang Bin was not ambiguous, and immediately ordered loudly. Thousands of archers who had stayed there stood up in unison, and a rain of arrows covered the city walls, and they were shooting continuously. The defenders on the city wall were preparing to make a move against the unknown enemy troops in the city, but only when they heard the continuous sound of "Xiu Xiu Xiu", they felt that they were concentrated by something, and for a while, the defenders on the city wall kept screaming and falling to the ground......

"Up, climb! Archers, cover them! Seeing that the defenders on the city wall kept falling to the ground, Tang Bin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as the defenders are suppressed, the East Gate is not a problem.

Suddenly, hundreds of soldiers hurriedly rushed out, threw out the long hook in their hands, hung it on the female wall above the city wall, and immediately climbed up along the rope. In the back, the sharpshooters continued to kill the defenders who were still trying to fight back with their arrows.

The gate guards were killed by the Sanyo Army outside the city in the first round. Speaking of which, it is also to blame that his fate is not good, and when he was commanding his subordinates to prepare to attack the defenders in the city, an arrow appeared behind him and shot it into a hornet's nest. The light of the torches burning on the city wall illuminates the situation on the city clearly, so the main general of the city gate defender is also the main target, at least dozens of archers have aimed their own targets at him.

The defenders were killed, and another officer took command. But now, he didn't know what to do, whether to deal with the attack from outside or kill the enemy army under the city gate.

"My lord, the enemy army in the city has been killed!"

"Outside the city, too, they climb...... Uh......" Before he could finish speaking, two soldiers were killed by arrows one after another. Or because of the firelight, when the Shanyang army outside the city wall attacked the Yanzhou army on the city wall, the target could not be more conspicuous. Before the Yanzhou army on the city wall appeared behind the city wall and was ready to act, it was killed by arrows. Of course, the most important thing is that the defenders above the east gate did not have archers. In addition to the fact that Ji Yun transferred the archers to the north gate, but also because of the winter and the time of extraordinary war, the archers were not prepared on a large scale in the defending army. After all, such weather is a great loss for bows and arrows.

"Oh no, my lord, they are coming up from the inside...... It's coming up! A soldier on the right hurried to report to the little colonel.

The officers and soldiers were taken aback, hurriedly transferred their subordinates to cover themselves, went to the inner side of the city wall, climbed the female wall and looked down, only to see that the defenders near the city gate hole below had all been killed, and the city gate was also creaked open. In addition, on the left and right sides of the city gate, more than 200 people each followed the ladder to the city, shouting and killing the city tower.

"Quick...... Ring the bell! Warning to the North Gate! Damn, why are so many enemy troops here coming out from the inside and out! The officer shouted angrily.

"Oh no, they have reinforcements!" The sergeant beside the colonel exclaimed. Xiao Xiao looked up in shock, only to see that hundreds of people were rushing towards him hundreds of meters away from the city, all of them wearing white robes like the samurai under the city walls.

"Oh...... Damn it! Are all the patrols in the city dead? The officer couldn't help but curse. In fact, most of the patrols in the city did not find them, and even if they did, they were also killed. This time, in addition to more than 500 white-robed warriors, there were also hundreds of ordinary young people. They were homeless and unable to live by the government, but now they were all relieved by these shops in the city, and then they were drawn into the Sanyang army.

The soldier in charge of ringing the bell and blowing the trumpet finally approached the place of the alarm bell and sounded the alarm bell. The trumpeter also put the horn into his mouth and blew it vigorously, and for a time the bells and horns on the castle tower and the shouts of killing from the city walls were intertwined.

However, the sound of these trumpets did not save the soldiers on the city walls. When the reinforcements in the city arrived, and the soldiers who climbed up outside the city climbed the city wall, victory was basically doomed. Because, most of the Yanzhou government army in the city was first pulled away by Beicheng, and now it is too late to rescue.

If the attack comes from outside the city, with these nearly 1,000 defenders and soldiers can naturally ensure that the city is not lost, even if it cannot hold the city, it is enough to hold out until the reinforcements arrive, if the enemy wants to cross the moat, and then set up siege equipment to launch a large-scale attack on the city wall, it will take half an hour, at least, and at that time, the reinforcements from the northern city can be killed in time.

But if the attack came from within the city, it would disrupt the defenses above the walls. First, the defenders under the city gate were broken, and then a steady stream of white-robed warriors appeared. In just one stick of incense, more than a thousand white-robed warriors appeared in the city. But don't forget, there are only a thousand defenders on the city walls. Then, taking advantage of the surprise of the defenders on the city wall, the Shanyang army outside the city gave them a fierce blow, and without shields and heavy armor, these unsuspecting soldiers were immediately killed.

…………

At the North City Gate, Ji Yun was still engaged in a fierce exchange of words with Zhou Ling outside the city. It wasn't until the sound of a horn in the north of the city and the patrol soldiers who hurried to report the news that Ji Yun stopped.

"What, nearly 10,000 Shanyang troops attacked from the east gate? There are thousands more in the city to respond? Hearing this, Ji Yun didn't believe it at all. In his opinion, the black pressure in front of him is the army of the Shanyang Army. There are thousands of people in the city who respond, this is simply impossible, you know, after Ji Yun came back, in just two days, he checked and checked in the city. Moreover, this Qi County is Xu Jie's lair, and it is impossible for thousands of strange young people to appear.

"My lord, it's true, when his subordinates were patrolling, there were already more than a thousand Shanyang army in the city, and in addition, everywhere in the city, there were also Shanyang army should be round and constantly killed. If the situation is not urgent, Dongcheng will only give a warning, and will not blow the horn for help. The patrol sergeant said urgently. At this moment, he didn't want to be beheaded for lying about the military.

At this moment, Qiu Lin, whose face was pale, also said out loud; "Lord Changshi, this alarm bell is a warning to us, which means that there are enemy troops coming. And this trumpet is a cry for help. There are four long and one short in the horn sound, which means that it is a thousand moments. My lord, it's time for us to come to the aid of the East Gate. ”

"The Yanzhou Mansion army on the city wall listened, my Shanyang army has more than 10,000 troops and 3,000 Neiying, and has broken through the east gate guarded by you. Therefore, if you surrender early, you can avoid death, capture a superior official, and you can be rewarded for meritorious service. The time will not come, so think about it. Especially the officers, if you want to continue to be officials, you must express yourself in time, and my Shanyang Army can still accept you. Seeing a slight commotion on the city wall, Zhou Ling immediately understood what the situation was, and immediately began to agitate.

"Soldiers, don't listen to his nonsense. The city gates are still in the hands of our army, otherwise there would be no alarm bells. Now, with the official to rescue the east gate, as long as the east gate is guarded, Qi County should be foolproof. Ji Yun said hatefully. At this moment, he understood that he was not good at battlefield command. So that the army is basically all carried in the camp north of the city, and at this moment, they are also gathered under the city wall. But obviously, the other party used the north gate as a bait to play himself.

"My lord, since the east gate is the main force of the enemy, then the outside of the city must be the enemy's bait, there should not be a lot of military strength, why don't we take advantage of the situation and kill it and annihilate it all, it can also be regarded as a strong army." Qiu Lin built yì road.

Ji Yun looked at the dark wilderness outside the city, shook his head and said: "No, we don't know the enemy situation outside the city, who dares to guarantee that there are really only a small number of enemy troops outside the city, and nothing is trapped?" ”

"Captain Qiu, you immediately send someone to inform the whole city, so that the 30,000 young men in the city are ready to assemble in the major battalions, and then distribute equipment to prepare for battle. As long as we defend this city and the governor leads the army back, it will be calmed down. Coming back to his senses, Ji Yun then ordered in a deep voice.

"Obey!" Qiu Lin commanded. Seeing that Ji Yun was unwilling to take risks, he had nothing to say, after all, the boss at the moment was Ji Yun and not him. But when he saw the constantly changing faces of the soldiers on the city wall, Qiu Lin couldn't help but sigh: The morale of the soldiers has been mixed up by the Shanyang army outside the city, if you don't move now and beat the morale of the enemy army, how can they fight to the death with the Shanyang army? Besides, if the enemy forces outside the city were strong, they wouldn't waste half a day of saliva with us......

Of course, Qiu Lin would not say these words directly. In the past two days, he has been reprimanded many times by this long historical event. If he said it, he would definitely attract a reprimand from Ji Yun. Of course, what Ji Yun said was also reasonable, and he didn't dare to guarantee that there would be no accidents outside the city.

"Blow the trumpet, and make it stronger, lest all their army go to the east gate to support. In any case, we also need to attract some enemy troops to stay. Zhou Ling looked at the movement of the Yanzhou Mansion army on the city wall, and ordered in a deep voice.

Sure enough, the abnormal movement of the Shanyang army under the city put a lot of pressure on the Yanzhou army on the city wall of Ji Yunhao. In the end, Ji Yun left 3,000 soldiers to guard the city wall, and he couldn't take it lightly, so he went down the city wall, led 5,000 soldiers, and rushed to the east gate.
