Chishui military city was built in the Tang Dynasty, the wall is not a city brick, but is built with clay mixed sand, the wall is one zhang high, the circumference is eight miles, and the garrison can be one to two thousand people. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This place was originally called Chiwu Town, and there is Qingchi Spring in the northwest, which is named after it. One said that it is the great man of the army, which is as good as Chishui, so it is called Chishui Military City. In the Tang Dynasty, it belonged to the Hexi Army and was another name of the town soldiers.
The city defense forces and the surrounding terrain were clear, Zhang Yue led the troops to the northwest corner of the military city, first got close to observe, and determined the law of the defenders' patrols.
This time, Zhang Yue was relieved, and returned to instruct Cui Huxin, asking him to prepare according to the situation, and let Shen Jingang lead five hundred good hands, with ropes as the second echelon, called Hao Tianying and Chen Jia, and decided to personally take the two of them to climb the wall first.
"It's a pity that there are no flying foxes to catch, not even hard-handled cymbal hooks, and it will be necessary for the whole army in the future! Follow, be careful! Zhang Yue whispered, led the two of them over the dry land two hundred steps wide, and quickly approached the foot of the wall under the cover of night.
Looking up, the corners of the walls are very rough, and there are places where you can walk with one foot at all. Zhang Yue tightened the brass nail cowhide arm guard, tied the military boots on the calf, tied the rope tied to a large circle on the waist, and saw that the two people behind him were also ready, jumped up, grabbed the corner of the wall, and then clamped the arms into the right angle of the arms, arched the back and shrunk the waist and raised the knees, and then burst out violently, jumping up two feet high like a frog, and then grabbed it, so alternately upward, gradually approaching the top of the wall battlement.
Craned his neck and looked up, there were two defender soldiers chatting in the corner, and about ten patrolmen were walking this way. Zhang Yue retracted his head and looked down, Hao Tianying and Chen Jia also picked it up, but they didn't learn this trick for a long time, their movements were not so skilled, and they gritted their teeth a little like they couldn't hold it.
When the patrol came over and turned around and walked away, Zhang Yue carefully hoped to pick up a little more, climbed up with both hands on the battlement, and the moment his feet stepped on the gap, he violently made a somersault, which happened to turn into the corner, and clamped the heads of the two unprepared defenders into his armpits, and directly killed them without making any sound.
At this time, Hao Tianying and Chen Jia also came up, Zhang Yue made a gesture, leaving Chen Jia standing in the corner, the corpse was straightened against the wall, I didn't want Chen Jia to do this kind of thing for the first time, the two corpses were unstable, and they fell down again, Zhang Yue had to step forward to help, and the two corpses arched against the wall like a figure, and they were stable at once. beckoned Hao Tianying to follow, and walked side by side towards the head of the west wall.
There were two defenders not far ahead, and suddenly two strange faces swaggered over, looking at them with a look of astonishment. Zhang Yue and Hao Tianying glanced at each other, smiling to show harmlessness, taking advantage of their lack of reaction, they quickly stepped forward and suddenly hugged the two defenders in their arms, one by one, and then helped the corpse to stand, and then solved the defenders near the head of the north wall, waiting for the patrol to come. As for the defenders at a distance, they don't care about them at all, who told them that they have few troops and are so far away.
The patrol soon came, Zhang Yue leaned against the corpse and muttered non-stop, looking like the two were chatting, the patrol didn't notice anything unusual, strode to the corner, and began to turn around as usual.
It may be that he found that Chen Jia suddenly had one more person there, and a patrol officer went over to give the order. Zhang Yue suddenly became nervous, beckoned to Hao Tianying, and regardless of leaning on his corpse, the two immediately followed, but Chen Jia gave the password, and he didn't show his stuffing, the patrol turned around and was about to go back, and found Zhang Yue and the two coming over, and immediately called them.
Zhang Yue didn't understand what the little patrol officer shouted, smiled harmlessly at others, turned his head and said something to Hao Tianying, which made Hao Tianying confused, but Zhang Yue turned around and walked towards the patrol post again, and his right hand had reached the outside of his thigh. At this time, Hao Tianying finally understood that he was going to make a move, and he was two or three steps away from Zhang Yue to keep up.
The patrol post was standing in a long row according to the formation, Zhang Yue walked to the side of the person in front of him, and suddenly bowed down and pulled out the short knife in the military boots, the blade turned to the outside and held it in his hand, and instantly swept past the left side of the three people in front, and the short knife swung with the trend, and continued to run to the next one as fast as lightning.
At the same time, Chen Jia in the opposite corner also moved, forming a flank attack with Zhang Yue, Hao Tianying also chased after him and quickly launched an assassination from the other side, but the two of them were not as sharp as Zhang Yue, if it weren't for Zhang Yue's quick movements, followed by a kick, the patrol in the middle almost shouted.
The three of them quickly dealt with the ten patrolmen, dragged the corpses aside, extinguished the torches on the side, and then quickly untied the ropes around their waists, and tied them to the battlements one by one.
At this time, Shen Jingang had already arrived under the wall, and sent someone to inform Cui Huxin to follow, and assigned soldiers to climb up along the rope, and grabbed a rope first, and climbed up quickly.
Zhang Yue and the three of them had just finished this, and the team of patrols at the head of the west wall came over, just at this time Shen Jingang climbed over the wall, and more than a dozen people were exposed on the corners of the walls on both sides.
The patrol post that ran close was naturally killed, but the battle officially began, and the defenders were all alarmed, but the soldiers below were constantly climbing up, and the defenders were a step too late to react. The soldiers at the top of the wall supported while continuing to tie ropes to the battlements and pick up the main force below.
The top of this wall was only seven or eight feet wide, Zhang Yue and Hao Tianying were on one side, and the soldiers who came up also gathered around them, and dozens of people had already occupied the corner. Forty or fifty defenders on each side rushed over, Zhang Yue did not retreat but advanced, and Chen Jia resisted the enemy side by side, and led the soldiers to start a bloody battle with the defenders, repulsing them step by step. and hold the corner, and receive more soldiers to come up.
After the strength was close to 1,000, Zhang Yue and Hao Ying each led hundreds of people, advancing from the west and north walls, leaving troops to garrison along the way, and quickly pounced on the south and north city gate towers.
Then control the city gate with superior forces, Zhang Yue sent people to open the south gate, and informed the outside part that it was too late to go to the wall, enter from the south city gate, and after all of them entered the city, Zhang Yue sent someone to order several officers to meet at the south city gate and arrange the task again.
Because these defenders have families, most of them are placed in the military city, and some villages outside the city are also attached to the Zhe Kui clan, whether they can be surrendered, Zhang Yue is a little uncertain.
"You can surrender! But some of the leaders had to be removed. How to distribute the property, General Zhang, you can divide it! Cui Huxin said respectfully, now he admires Zhang Yue's ability a little, he saw Zhang Yue climbing the wall empty-handed just now, and he intuitively felt that he couldn't do it.
"Part of the reward for participating soldiers, the other part goes to the Liangzhou Marshal's Mansion, as for me, as long as the war horse! But let's make it clear first, you can't put it in your arms privately, you have to bring it all back and distribute it uniformly, otherwise there are more people and some people are less, that's not good! "It is estimated that this trip will make a lot of money again, Zhang Yue said happily. (To be continued.) )
