Chapter Forty-Three: The Siege of the City
Lu Budao: "Wen Yuan, you go and give the order quickly, and start attacking the city immediately!" You can go to the specific matters with the public station to carry it out, and if necessary, you can cut it first and then play!! ā
"No!!" Zhang Liao received the order. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½

It is said that Feng Yao and the others happily led a few injured war horses, each carrying heavy swords, armor, banners and other trophies on their backs, and as soon as they returned to the camp, before they could sit down and take a breath, the order to attack the city immediately came!
"What-? Besiege!! Commander, I heard you right, right? ......, oh my God, you better take me back!! Feng Yao slapped the top of his head frantically.
Cao Xing had already figured out Feng Yao's character, so he laughed at Feng Yao's exaggerated reaction.
"All the soldiers heard clearly, this is the bounty promised by the lord himself, the first to climb the city wall, the reward of fifty taels of gold! Fifty taels is full of gold!! And also! The first to open the gates of the city was a hundred taels of gold!! One hundred taels, even if you don't get this bounty in the end, the lord promises that after the city is broken, everyone in the whole army will be rewarded with another reward! ā
"What? One hundred taels! Gold!! Wait, Marquis, you say it again, did I hear me wrong? Feng Yao rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked at Cao Xing.
Cao Xuan nodded and said, "The first one to open the city gate will be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold, you heard it right!" ā
Feng Yao took a big breath of cold air and said to himself, "One hundred taels of gold!" I calculated, one tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, and one hundred taels can be exchanged for one thousand taels of silver, sizzle......! Feng Yao's eyes widened, and he calculated: "One tael of silver for one thousand copper coins, one thousand taels of silver can be exchanged for one million copper coins!" I sell buns for two cents a piece, which will sell for ......, 500,000 !!!! ā
"Marquis, I have two things I want to borrow!" Feng Yao immediately came to Cao Xing's front and said loudly.
"Feng Shichang, what do you want to borrow?" Cao Xuan asked
"Junhou, first, I want to borrow a pen, and second, I want to borrow a flag of our song." Feng Yaodao.
Cao Xuan stared at Feng Yao curiously for a while, only to see Feng Yao's serious expression, not as if he was joking, so he said: "I can lend you these two things, but can you tell me what is the use of you borrowing these two things?" ā
"Marquis! Thank you! Feng Yao straightened up and bowed to Cao Xing.
"I want to take a few of my brethren and be the first to open the gates!! That's why I want a banner that we can put on the gate tower as soon as we take the gate! Let our soldiers see it at the first time, we have taken the city gate!! ā
"But I know that I can't guarantee that every brother who follows me will be safe and sound, so I want a pen, and I will use it to write down the name of every brother who went with me to take the gates, and I want to know where their families are, and if they die in battle, their families will be my family in the future!"
Although Feng Yao's words were not very moving, these were all voices from his heart, and after Cao Xing heard it, he was moved and ordered his men to go down and take a small A-shaped flag and a brush, and handed them to Feng Yao with his own hands.
"You only have a quarter of an hour! The army is about to assemble! Cao Xing said.
ā¦ā¦
At the foot of a city wall in the south of Puyang City, Feng Yao led fifteen of his subordinates to lie quietly in the dark, motionless, Feng Yao held a temporary self-made flying claw in his hand, and the flying claw was connected with a rope more than four zhang long, Feng Yao just wanted to use this flying claw to quietly climb to the city wall, take advantage of the unpreparedness of the enemy army defending the city, and seize the south gate of Puyang City!!
At this time, it has been nearly half of the fifth watch, and it is also the moment when the soldiers guarding the city are the most sleepy! Lu Bu set the siege time at the moment in Yinzhong, and Feng Yao's plan was to sneak near the city gate at the moment before the siege, and wait for the plane to seize control of the city gate.
Behind Feng Yao, in addition to Zhou Cangchen to Erwu soldiers, there were also four miscellaneous servants such as Liu Shun who also volunteered to join the team!
"Almost, are you ready?" Feng Yao estimated that the time was up, so he whispered.
Zhou Cang and the others nodded, Feng Yao untied the rope of the flying claw, and was about to throw it upward, when Chen Zhi suddenly pulled Feng Yao and said, "Slow!" Someone! ā
Feng Yao hurriedly bowed down in the darkness at the foot of the wall, holding his breath.
At the top of the city walls, a five-man patrol of enemy soldiers yawned.
When the enemy soldiers walked away, Feng Yao took out the flying claw again, looked at the top of the city wall, and flicked it violently, and the flying claw was connected to the rope and crossed an arc in mid-air, and with a soft "ding" sound, it fell on the top of the city wall! The sound was very soft, but it was still audible on such a quiet night.
Feng Yao was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly crouched in the dark again, and after a while, after making sure that the enemy had not found anything abnormal, he breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the rope and slowly pulled down, pulled twice, felt a tightness in his hand, and pulled a few harder, after making sure that the flying claws firmly grasped the battlements of the city wall, he was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly rejoiced: "It's so lucky, I didn't expect to succeed with this thing for the first time!" ā
"Are you all ready? Check your weapons again! Feng Yao asked in a low voice.
While commanding everyone, Feng Yao touched the banner in his arms, as well as the shield on his back, the long bow, the long sword on his waist, the arrows in the quiver, and the small copper crossbow tied to his legs had also been wound, and after making sure that everything was correct, Feng Yao tightened the iron armor on his body again, this set of armor was taken from Cao Hong's hands, and the original set was given to Zhou Cang.
"When you go to the city, you have to go up one by one, and after the person in front goes up, the bottom will go up again!" Feng Yao admonished.
Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood, Feng Yao glanced up at the top of the city wall, and made sure that no one was passing by, so he pulled the rope that hung down, and came to the top of the city in a few clicks.
The city wall is only more than a zhang wide, about three people in parallel, Feng Yao looked left and right, there were no enemy soldiers nearby, and sure enough, as Cao Junhou said, there were very few defenders in Puyang City! Feng Yao beckoned to the bottom of the city wall and motioned for everyone to come up.
Zhou Cang was the second to climb the city wall, Dai Ling was the third, followed by Xu Xian, Chen Dao, "Five people have come up!" Feng Yao was secretly happy, at this time, there was a group of five enemy soldiers patrolling the city in the distance who came over unhurriedly, and when they got closer, they saw that Feng Yao and the others were strangely equipped, and quickly stopped, took out their machetes and shouted: "Password!" ā
Feng Yao's heart tightened, knowing that things were not good, and if he couldn't answer the password, the enemy soldiers would definitely take action immediately!
"With crossbow arrows!" Feng Yao snorted lightly, quickly took off the copper crossbow from his leg, aimed at the throat of the enemy soldier, and as soon as he pulled the trigger, he shot and killed an enemy soldier, Zhou Cangchen and Dai Ling also launched the copper crossbow at the same time, and two enemy soldiers were shot in the throat and fell to the city wall and died.
At this time, the remaining two enemy soldiers had just reacted, "Ah! He shouted, turned around and wanted to escape.
Feng Yao and the others quickly pulled the string of the good crossbow machine on the handle, and fired it again, and the two enemy soldiers also fell on the city wall without running ten steps.
"Quick, ask the rest of the people to come up quickly, I'm afraid I've already alarmed the enemy soldiers defending the city!" Feng Yao said to Xu Xian, and then went to pull out the crossbow arrow that was shot in the throat of the enemy soldier.
