Chapter 471: The City Gate Opens
Penglai City South Water Gate.
The Nightthorn, lurking in the shadows, heard a "bang, bang, bang" sound coming from the water.
The hand on the hilt of the sword clenched tightly, and the hearts of each of the night thorns hiding nearby were filled with joy.
Cao Jun chose the water gate in the south of the city, and they will be the first group of people to kill Cao Jun who entered the city!
More and more Cao Jun poked his head out of the water.
They were shirtless, with their swords behind their backs.
Poking his head out, he looked around, and feeling that there was no danger, Cao Jun climbed up the ditch one after another.
"Damn, it's ugly!" A Cao Jun sniffed his arm, frowned and said, "I don't know what the military advisor thinks, but he asked me to wait to enter through the water gate." It's hard to wash this filth! ”
"Watergate is a place of filth." Another Cao Jun said: "The sewage, feces and urine in the city are all discharged from here, how can it not stink!" ”
"Phew!" Cao Jun, who spoke first, spat out.
The smelly smell on her body made her want to scold her mother, but she didn't dare to scold when the words came to her mouth.
After all, it was the military advisor who ordered them to come.
In Jia Xu's ears, it is inevitable that the head will fall to the ground!
All the Cao troops went up to the ditch, and after only a few steps, they felt that something was wrong.
Although it was autumn, the weather was not very cold.
But they felt a chill in their hearts.
An ominous feeling arose, and a Cao Jun glanced back.
It was so dark that it was impossible to see if anyone was hiding here.
Noticing nothing out of the ordinary, he turned back again.
Just as he was about to lift his foot, he heard the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the wind behind him.
Before he could react, he felt a pang in his heart. An arrow pierced his torso.
encountered an ambush, and Cao Jun did not dare to shout loudly in Penglai.
They subconsciously want to disperse.
Then several more arrows flew. A few Cao soldiers only had time to let out a muffled snort before they fell to the ground and died!
Before he entered the city, he was ambushed. The rest of Cao Jun didn't even react to what to do in a panic.
The Night Thorns, dormant in the shadows, are unlikely to give them time to react.
More than 20 people rushed out.
First, a Cao Jun saw someone rushing over and was about to take the long sword from behind his back, when a sharp short sword pierced his throat.
His eyes were round, and until the night thorn violently drew out his long sword, Cao Jun, who was stabbed to death, didn't understand how he was pierced in the throat.
The night stabbing swordsmanship is fierce, where is the pirate-born Cao Jun their opponent.
But in the blink of an eye, all fifty Cao Jun were killed!
"Is there anything missing?" Look at the corpses all over the ground. A nightspur asked.
"I'll wait for it, how can I live?" Another night thorn said, "Present it to the general as soon as possible!" ”
Leaving a few people to continue to monitor the Water Gate, the rest of the Night Thorns ran to the east of the city where Ma Fei was.
Knowing that the Cao army from the south of the city had been killed, Ma Fei ordered a small number of people to be left everywhere, and selected fifty night assassins to dress up as Cao Jun.
Fifty night thorns dressed as Cao Jun ran topless under the guidance of Ma Fei to the city gate.
The news that the night assassin killed Cao Jun in the city reached Yuan Xu's ears.
He immediately ordered 500 soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion to set up an ambush in the east of the city.
Five hundred soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion armed with longbows lay dormant in dark corners, waiting for the Night Thorn to open the city gates.
Guan Cheng who led the warship to advance towards Penglai. Coming to the range of the catapult at the head of the city, he ordered to stop the advance.
"Why did the general order to stop?" Jia Xu asked beside him.
"There is no response from the soldiers entering the city, if they fail to open the city gates, we will only add some damage to the front!"
"They have been in the city for a long time. If all goes well, the gates should be opened in a few moments. Jia Xu said: "If you stay here, the enemy will definitely seize the city gate with all your might." It's hard to support only fifty people! ”
Jia Xu said reasonably, and Guan Cheng didn't dare to delay. Ordered to move forward again.
At the head of Penglai City, catapults and **** have long been prepared.
Cao's warships only entered the firing range. Several catapults made a catapult sound.
The huge stone tumbled and flew towards the Cao warship.
A moving boat was hit with a rock.
The wooden planks on the bow of the ship were split in an instant, and Cao Jun on the boat couldn't dodge, and most of them were smashed into bloody shreds.
The catapult was launched, and then the **** also ejected arrows more than one person long.
With boulders and crossbow arrows on top, Cao's warships accelerated their speed.
Approaching the reef area, the giant warship stopped its advance and fired at the Tianhai battalion at the head of the city.
The boat sailed into the reef area and advanced towards the Penglai city wall.
Commanding the giant warship to project boulders and launch ****, Guan Cheng looked at the gate of Penglai City, and always felt that he had no bottom in his heart.
Penglai has a total of four city gates, and even if Cao Jun who sneaked into the city successfully opened the city gates, he didn't know which one they opened!
Bet!
It's all about gambling!
Bet that Cao's army can open the city gate, and bet that they will open the city gate that the ships attack.
The boat approached Penglai, and it seemed that it was almost at the foot of the city wall.
Guan Cheng finally saw it, and the oncoming city gate slowly opened.
Cao Jun, who rushed to the city, saw the city gate open and rushed over.
Countless ships crowded together, the hull of the ship hit the hull, and there was shouting and scolding everywhere outside Penglai City.
Arrows were shot at the head of the city, accompanied by the miserable howl of Cao Jun who was shot, and all kinds of sounds were mixed, but it was also very lively!
The more eager he rushed into the city, the more congested Cao's army became.
The soldiers of the Tianhai battalion shot feather arrows from the city, and more Cao troops in the chaos fell into the water.
Finally, a warship docked.
Cao Jun, who was wearing a shield, jumped onto the shore and rushed to the city gate.
The Cao army behind could not reach the shore of the warship, so they could only jump on the boat and rush to the city gate.
The Tianhai battalion at the head of the city took advantage of Cao's army to go ashore, and the feather arrows shot became more and more dense.
Outside the city gate, Cao's army, which was shot by arrows, fell into the water one after another.
Waves stirred up on the surface of the sea, and then they were hidden by the surging waves.
More and more Cao troops washed ashore.
Ma Fei, shirtless and dressed as Cao Jun, stood at the gate of the city and waved to the enemy soldiers who had already come ashore and shouted: "The city gate has been opened, enter the city quickly!" ”
The attack on Penglai endured a lot of hardships, and the open city gate was undoubtedly the biggest temptation for Cao Jun.
Hardly anyone thought about why the city gates were opened, and Cao Jun, who had come ashore, roared and rushed in.
Rushing into the city, Cao Jun soon discovered that something was wrong.
Except for the soldiers of the Tianhai battalion at the head of the city, there was no one near the city gate.
When the veterans of the perennial battlefield saw this scene, their hearts were suddenly shocked, and their pace slowed down a lot.
More and more Cao troops poured into the city, and just as they were about to rush to the street, a black pressure suddenly appeared on the front and the two wings.
The soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion, who appeared with a longbow, opened their bowstrings and shot a puff of feathered arrows.
Cao Jun, who only cared about rushing forward, blocked the shield in front of him, but he couldn't dodge the arrows flying from the side.
Cao Jun fell in pieces, but the Tianhai camp that shot them seemed to be enjoying the killing, constantly drawing feather arrows from the quiver...... (To be continued.) )
