On the city wall of Shouchun, Ji Ling pressed the battlements with both hands, staring at the crossbow array of the Qin army outside the city, and a faint smile was drawn on the corner of his mouth.

For five consecutive days, he would order the soldiers to release straw men towards the city every day, and the Qin army would also line up a strong crossbow array to launch rockets at the city every day.

However, in the past five days, the Qin army's strong crossbow array has been reduced from the initial thousands of people to only four or five hundred.

The Qin army, which was lit up in the distance, did not rush to shoot arrows at the scarecrow on the city wall.

Looking at the Qin army's strong crossbow array outside the city, Ji Ling always had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, waiting for the Qin army to launch the arrows.

But he didn't wait for the arrows that flew towards the Shouchun city wall, and it didn't take long for the Qin army's strong crossbow array to light up the rockets, and the rockets actually went out one after another.

Seeing this scene, Ji Ling frowned slightly, and leaned out, wanting to see what was going on.

The Qin army's strong crossbow array was still far from the city wall, and although he leaned out a little, he could see what was happening over there.

At this time, in the camp of the Qin army, Liu Wei was pressing the hilt of his sword with one hand and looking at the Shouchun city wall in the distance.

Near the city wall, there are still dark shadows, and the Huainan army is still working tirelessly to put straw men under the city.

Looking at the black shadows, Liu Wei smiled slightly, and asked Chen Gong beside him: "Gongtai, Deng Zhan and they climbed the city wall, in your opinion, should they make a fuss in the city and then evacuate, or should they kill the Huainan army and withdraw from Shouchun by surprise?" ”

"Your Highness!" With a smile on his face, Chen Gong said to Liu Wei: "Since the dragoon guards have entered the city, why do they have to withdraw? ”

"Huh?" As soon as Chen Gong said this, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and asked him: "What does the public platform mean?" ”

"The dragoon guards entered the city, hibernated, and secretly killed some Huainan troops every day!" With a smile on his face, Chen Gong said to Liu Wei: "Does the Huainan Army have the heart to strengthen the city defense?" ”

"If you have something to say on the public platform, just say it clearly!" Frowning slightly, Liu Wei said to Chen Gong: "There are only more than 500 dragoon guards, and there are 100,000 Huainan troops in the city, and the two sides are ...... compared."

"It's not a formation, so why compare!" Before Liu Wei finished speaking, Chen Gong said to him: "Your Highness can urgently order Yulin and Huben Erwei to come to Shouchun, and send the main soldiers to dig up the passage in the next two days. ”

"What does Gongtai mean by letting Yulin and Huben Erwei enter Shouchun from the secret channel?" Chen Gong said that he was going to urgently order Yulin and Huben Erwei to come to Shouchun, Liu Wei frowned tightly and asked him a question.

"Definitely!" Shaking his head, Chen Gong said: "The only ones who dug the passage are only a few main soldiers, in order to attract the Huainan army to step up the defense in the secret passage!" ”

"That Yulin, Tiger Ben Erwei ......" Chen Gong's words made Liu Wei a little confused, and hurriedly asked.

"Catapults are stepping up to break the city!" Turning his head to look at the city wall of Shouchun, Chen Gong said to Liu Wei: "When Yulin and Huben Erwei come here, the catapult will only throw stones during the day, and at night, the secret order dragoon guards will open the city gate, and the two guards will rush in and occupy a corner of Shouchun." The city gate is broken, and the Huainan army must divide its troops to defend, and then the dark road infantry will come out and take Yuan Shu directly from the city! ”

Liu Wei and Chen Gong were talking, and a person dressed in black quickly ran towards them.

When Liu Wei approached, the man clasped his fists with both hands, bowed deeply to Liu Wei and said, "Your Highness, the dragoon guards are all ready for battle!" ”

The one who came behind Liu Wei and Chen Gong was none other than Deng Zhan, the commander of the Dragoon Guard.

Dressed in black, Deng Zhan was dressed as a night walker, and he was already ready to climb the city wall when the Huainan army loosened the grass man.

"General Deng!" Hearing Deng Zhan speak, Liu Wei turned his head to look at him, smiled at him and said, "The king and the public platform are discussing how you should act when you enter Shouchun this time. ”

"Your Highness just commands!" He also cooperated with Chen Gong, knowing that Chen Gong's idea must be a feasible strategy, Deng Zhan maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowing down, and responded to Liu's argument.

"After you enter the city, find a place to hide, kill hundreds of Huainan troops every day, and disturb their morale!" Facing Deng Zhan, Liu Wei said the plan he had just discussed with Chen Gong, after entering the city, you should pay attention to the sky, once it is later, the sky rockets will be released, and the city gate will be captured, and the army will enter the city! ”

"Your Highness, rest assured!" Knowing that he entered Shouchun this time, he wanted to stay there to do internal response, and Deng Zhan, who was worried that the dragon cavalry guard had no chance to show his fists and feet, would have the slightest shirk, so he hurriedly responded.

"General be careful!" Holding his fists and arching at Deng Zhan, Liu Wei instructed him, and then said to him: "Take action!" ”

Deng Zhan answered, turned around and ran to beckon the dragoon guards to follow him, taking advantage of the dark night to rush towards the Shouchun City Wall.

The Qin army's strong crossbow array, which confronted the Shouchun city wall, lit the flames for a while, and extinguished the flames for a while.

Looking at the flames that were lit and extinguished from time to time in the Qin Army's strong crossbow array from a distance, Ji Ling had a feeling that he had been tricked, he frowned tightly, stared at the flames that lit up and extinguished in the distance, and said to the Huainan Army soldiers on the side: "Be careful of the Qin Army's strong crossbow!" ”

Ji Ling's order was issued, and almost all the Huainan troops in the city turned their attention to the Qin army's strong crossbow array outside the city.

While they were paying attention to the Qin army's strong crossbow array outside the city, a group of black shadows of hundreds of people was rapidly advancing towards the Shouchun City Wall.

There were more than 500 people in this team of black shadows, and the leader was Deng Zhan, the commander of the dragoon guards.

Leading five hundred drake guards dressed in black clothes, when they arrived more than a hundred steps away from the city wall, Deng Zhan raised his arm and made a stop gesture.

Seeing Deng Zhan's gesture, all the dragoon guards stopped and looked at him with a pair of eyes.

All the dragoons stopped their steps, and Deng Zhan pressed his hand downward, then crawled on the ground, crawling forward.

The dragoon guards who followed behind Deng Zhan also crawled on the ground one after another, quickly crawling towards the foot of the city wall.

Unlike the other armies of the Qin army, the dragoon guards were trained to lie dormant and infiltrate, and they were naturally much more skilled than ordinary soldiers in crawling forward.

Although lying on the ground, the dragoon guards were not slow at all, and soon they crawled under the walls of Shouchun.

When he arrived at the foot of the Shouchun city wall, Deng Zhan squatted up and waved his hand at the dragoon guards.

Seeing his gesture, all the dragoons rushed towards the straw men they could see.

Running to the side of the straw man, the dragoon guards drew their short swords, carefully cut the rope, and then grabbed the rope with both hands, quietly waiting for the Huainan army to pull them up the city wall.

In the blink of an eye, all five hundred dragoons had chosen a rope, and in addition to holding the rope, each of them also carried a rope with a grappling hook in his hand.

The rope with the grappling hook is the dragoon guards in order to prevent the Huainan army from reacting and suddenly loosen the rope, and then they only need to throw the grappling hook in mid-air to continue to climb to the top of the city.

The dragoon guards were already ready, and after a while, all the strong crossbowmen on the periphery of the Qin army's camp retreated.

Standing on the city wall, looking at the outside of the city that was completely dark, Ji Ling's brows were tightly locked, and he didn't understand what the Qin army was doing for a while.

In the past, every day when the Qin army fired arrows, they immediately fired rockets at the city wall after arraying, but today they lit the rockets and then extinguished them, which is really a little incomprehensible.

"Take back the straw man!" The Qin army had no intention of firing arrows at the city wall, and Ji Ling also felt that it was meaningless to continue to throw straw men, so he waved his hand at the soldiers of the Huainan army on the city wall and issued an order to take back the straw men.

With Ji Ling's order, all the Huainan troops who were dragging the ropes pulled the grass men to the grass.

"Huh? Why are straw men so heavy? Pulling the rope, a soldier of the Huainan Army felt that the rope was heavy, muttered in his heart, and muttered a sentence in his mouth.

Although there were some doubts in his heart, the Huainan soldiers did not let go of the rope they were pulling, but added more strength and pulled the rope hard.

Many soldiers of the Huainan Army had the same doubts as him, but few of them felt that it was inappropriate.

If it's just one or two people who think the rope is heavy, it's worth noting, and almost everyone thinks it's heavy, then there's not much of a problem.

Pulling the rope hard, a Huainan soldier was about to pull all the ropes up to the city, and a black shadow suddenly jumped out from under the battlements.

The black shadow jumped up the battlements like a big bird, and before the Huainan army that dragged him up the city wall could come back to his senses, a sharp long sword had already pierced his throat.

Jumping up to the city, the black shadow did not attack the Huainan army who were dragging the ropes, but rushed straight to the Huainan army behind with a long sword.

His appearance made many Huainan soldiers stunned for a moment, and some Huainan soldiers who reacted quickly quickly let go of the ropes in their hands, while some Huainan troops who reacted slowly were stunned and were knocked to the ground by the black shadows that jumped up from behind.

With the Huainan army pulling to climb the city, most of the dragoons have successfully climbed the city wall, and a few dragoons are about to climb up, when they suddenly feel the rope they are pulling, they know that the Huainan army let go, and hurriedly threw the grappling hook in their hands out.

Grappling hooks hung on the city wall one by one, and the dragoons who did not use the strength to climb the city wall grabbed the ropes of the grappling hooks with both hands, and quickly climbed towards the battlements.

He only paid attention to the strong crossbow formation of the Qin army on the opposite side, and didn't notice that the dragoon guards had lurked at the foot of the city wall, and saw countless black-clothed people jumping up to the city, Ji Ling was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Kill!" Kill them all! ”

Ji Ling obviously underestimated the combat power of the dragoon guards, and rushed to the city wall, and the dragoon guards took advantage of the fact that the Huainan army had not yet put on a defensive position, and had already rushed into them, slashing the Huainan army to the ground.
