The Sui army did something before evacuating Lou Fu Pass, and they set up a secret passage, which was the day to retake Lou Fu Pass. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Wang Xuanjing stared at the city wall for a moment, waved his hand lightly, and more than a dozen soldiers followed him and bent down towards the city wall.

The soldiers worked together to slowly move the boulder away, and then scraped away the floating soil above, revealing a stone slab buried underneath, the slab had a copper ring on it, and the soldier held the copper ring and pulled the stone slab apart, revealing a dark cave underneath.

After a moment of air circulation, Wang Xuanjing was the first to jump into the tunnel, which was about two zhang long and only four feet high, and they could only crawl towards the city with difficulty with their bodies.

The exit of the tunnel is located in a passage between the warehouse and the city wall in Lou Fu Pass, which is blocked in front and back, it is a dead alley, and above it is a female wall, unless there are soldiers standing by the wall, no one will be found to come out.

A stone slab on the ground in the alley was loosened, and the stone slab was removed a crack first, making sure that there was no one in the city above his head, so the stone slab was completely removed, revealing the tunnel exit, Wang Xuanjing jumped out, and the men behind him followed one by one.

But the alley can only accommodate a dozen people at most, and the first thing Wang Xuanjing and his subordinates did when they came out of the tunnel was to open up a new accommodation space, but they had already arranged it before, Wang Xuanjing groped around the warehouse wall in the corner for a while, and said in a low voice: "This is it!" ”

Two soldiers stepped forward, they held an iron crowbar in their hands, and with a light pry on the wall, a brick was loosened, they carefully pulled out three wall bricks, and a hole in the wall appeared in front of them, Wang Xuanjing reached in and touched it, and there were bags of grain inside, when they evacuated, they specially piled up two thousand stones of grain here, and it seems that the Turks did not touch these grains.

A three-foot-wide distance was left between the grain and the wall, and an open space was also left in the middle of the grain pile, just for today's preparation.

Everyone worked together to tear down a big hole in the warehouse wall, and Wang Xuanjing took the lead in dodging into the big hole and ran into the warehouse.......

A quarter of an hour later, more than a hundred soldiers entered the warehouse, leaving two people outside the city, who were responsible for covering the entrance to the city with dirt and grass to prevent detection by the Turkic patrols, and the soldiers restored the passages and walls to their original state, and even if someone stood at the top of the wall, they could not see that there had been any changes below.

The warehouse is very quiet, this side is the grain warehouse, the door is closed, the ground is covered with a thin layer of dust, it seems that the Turks did not use it, next door is the armory, the Sui army retreated before all the empty, it is estimated that the Turks used the warehouse next door.

Hundreds of soldiers were waiting for Wang Xuanjing's order, according to the plan, Wang Xuanjing would lead 20 people to meet the Sui soldiers who came down from the cliff, and the other 80 people would go to seize the south gate.

They are not worried about the North City Gate, tens of thousands of Turkic troops are stationed more than ten miles north of Loufu Pass, even if they find that the Guancheng is abnormal, they will not be able to come so quickly.

However, the 10,000 garrisons outside the south city gate were a mile away, that is, the barracks of the original Sui army, once the city was closed to warn, the Turkic reinforcements in the south would be quickly killed, so the south city gate must be captured in advance.

Wang Xuanjing's deputy general is called Du Ping, a native of Qi County, is an eagle strike general, only twenty-one years old, but has been a scout for four years, bold and careful, strong in martial arts, they have carried out countless simulation training before, including emergency treatment of various unexpected situations, every soldier knows what he should do, this is also the main general Wei Wentong knows that it is of great significance to capture Lou Fu Pass, can not make any mistakes, every detail must be considered.

Without an order, Wang Xuanjing gave Du Ping a look, he waved his hand, and twenty-three soldiers followed him to climb to the air window above, and Du Ping led the other eighty soldiers to wait in the warehouse for a while, they will go out from the warehouse gate and go to the south gate from below.

The Sui scouts had observed the defensive deployment of Lou Fan Pass from the top of the mountain before, and when viewed from the air, the shape of Lou Fu Pass resembled a paper clip, and after the north and south city walls converged on the east and west sides respectively, there was a section of the short city wall connected to the cliff face.

On this section of the short city wall, a city platform was built respectively, just blocking the passage from the cliff, the Turks rebuilt the west city platform into a sentry tower, there are a few sentries to watch the movement on the cliff day and night, and there is also a team of soldiers patrolling behind the sentry tower, they only patrol within a hundred steps, just to prevent the Sui army from climbing down the cliff, the Turkic army used this method to capture Zihe Pass in Zihe, so they themselves are extra guarded.

In the darkness of the night, Wang Xuanjing and three soldiers who had changed into Turkic uniforms climbed along the wall to the side of the sentry tower near the cliff with the help of ropes, which blocked the view of the sentry soldiers so that they could not see that several Sui soldiers had entered the city from the other side of the sentry tower.

The four of them stood at the head of the city against the wall of the watchtower, and more than thirty steps away from them was a mountain covered with vines, Wang Xuanjing gave one of the soldiers a look, the soldier squatted down, Wang Xuanjing stepped on the soldier's shoulder, and the soldier slowly stood up and lifted Wang Xuanjing up to the window of the watchtower little by little.

The sentry tower is quite like the blockhouse of later generations, there is a wooden cover on the head, and there are four wooden pillars at the four corners, Wang Xuanjing listened for a moment, there was a faint snoring sound from inside, he slowly probed up, and finally saw the situation in the sentry tower, there were three people in the sentry tower, two of them had fallen asleep on the ground against the wall, and the other person was leaning on the wooden pillar tiredly, holding a bag of wine, and drinking listlessly.

Wang Xuanjing gestured downward, meaning that there were three people, and two of them were asleep.

Another Sui soldier took out two daggers quenched with poison, which were slowly lifted by the soldiers below, but he didn't go up, he was going to deal with two sleeping sentinels.

Wang Xuanjing raised his crossbow and aimed at the sentry's neck, 'Click! With a soft sound, the crossbow arrow accurately hit the sentry's neck, and the poison on the crossbow arrow sealed his throat with blood, and the sentry fell limply without shouting.

At this moment, another soldier was held up, and with a wave of his hands, two sharp daggers shot out, which also pierced the throats of the two sleeping soldiers, killing them silently.

Wang Xuanjing turned over and jumped off the city wall, and the three soldiers climbed into the watchtower, and all three of them changed into Turkic soldiers' uniforms and continued to observe the cliff in the watchtower.

After a short time, another twenty soldiers under the leadership of Wang Xuanjing also climbed the wall, but they were crouched on the roof of the warehouse, while a group of ten Turkic patrol soldiers walked back and forth at the head of the southern city not far away, and they were specially responsible for guarding the cliff area, and they were only twenty paces away from the Sui ambush at the nearest time.

The soldiers slowly raised their crossbow arrows and aimed at the ten sentries who were getting closer and closer, the scouts had carefully observed from the cliff beforehand, there were thirteen Turkic sentries, ten of them were patrol sentries, three were fixed sentry posts, the fixed sentry had been killed, and now only ten patrol sentry remained.

Twenty Sui soldiers had been trained countless times, and the two of them were responsible for shooting one person, cross-shooting, making sure that nothing went wrong, and each soldier knew where his target was and when to fire his arrows, and together they raised their crossbows and aimed at the ten patrol posts.

When the ten sentries walked to the side of the watchtower, and turned around and walked back, at this time, they were only twenty steps away from the Sui soldiers, and when the last Turkic sentry turned around, the twenty Sui soldiers shot crossbow arrows at the same time, like a sudden storm, and twenty arrows hit the necks of the ten Turkic sentries at the same time, each with two arrows accurately stuck in their necks, and they fell to the ground and died together, barely making a sound.

At this time, the Sui soldiers put up a cloak, formed a circle, and lit a fire sickle in the cloak, the fire could not be seen around, it was blocked by the cloak, but from above, it could be clearly seen, this was the Sui army scouts sent a signal to the top of the mountain. (To be continued.) )
