In the dark, listening to the whistling wind, Li Zicheng and the others tiptoed forward, everyone was carrying a bookcase behind them, square and square, the surface was covered with a layer of oily cloth, Gao Yigong asked puzzledly: "Brother-in-law, aren't we going to attack Daning?" Why did you stop here, there are still two miles from the east gate of Daning City? ”

"Yigong, where did you get so much, why? Hurry, do as ordered, follow everyone, and tie the war horse to the grove next to it. ”

Li Zicheng's voice came from the darkness, full of caution. Even the wind was howling, and it was speaking in a low voice.

However, Gao Yigong pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders lightly indifferently, and led the war horse slowly forward, as if he was not willing to be lonely, or curiosity, he was still dishonest, and asked a person next to him in a low voice: "Hey, I said brother, we are here to fight, why do brothers all carry a bookcase?" It's too much trouble, can you show me what's inside? ”

"Shhhh Captain Gao, be quiet, we are disciplined, the boss has already given an order, so we can't talk privately, everything must be arranged and commanded by the boss. The black shadow did not answer Gao Yigong's question, but pushed back, making Gao Yigong angry for a while, very unhappy.

seemed to feel that he was a little unkind, and the voice sounded again, but it was extremely low: "Captain Gao, wait a minute." When you get to the grove, while everyone is packing up, I'll show you the bookcase behind it. However, I should state one thing in advance, I can only take a general look at it, touch it with my hands and feel what is inside, but time is only one thing, and it cannot affect the next action. ”

"Hey, hey... I will touch it, and I will never touch what is inside, and I will not affect the actions of my brothers. Originally, there was some anger and disappointment in the first year of high school, and he responded happily.

Soon after, a dark shadow emerged from the woods, and there was hardly any sound as he walked. Even the slightest sound of a soldier stepping on a dead branch would be drowned out by the wind.

In the process of sneaking, Gao Yigong's heart was very depressed, full of puzzlement, and more curious, his brother-in-law's special force of three hundred people was too strange, and the well-armed and well-equipped made him smack his tongue, and he was deeply envious, with a sharp dagger pinned to his leg, and a long sword or broadsword hanging from his waist.

Especially on the left arm, everyone is tied to a small and delicate crossbow arrow, just the fingers of the left hand are so lightly, you can quickly shoot steel arrows, killing people in an instant, invisibly, making his envious heart itch, like a cat's claw.

However, the most puzzling thing for Gao Yigong was that the bookcase contained not only weapons such as arrows, but also dry food and other things. This was not what he was puzzled about, what he really puzzled was that after all the daily items such as dry food were taken out and placed on horseback, the bookcase was still carried by these brothers and carried behind them.

It stands to reason that the short arrows of the crossbow arrows have been hanging in front of the abdomen in rows, and there is only an empty shell left in the bookcase, which should be placed with the war horse, but it is brought with it, and it looks very precious.

Between walking, in the process of constantly approaching Daning City, with the light of only one or two meters of visual range, Gao Yigong has been staring at the bookbox, his deep eyes flashing with crystal light, look at this, look at that, look at the look of a probe to probe the brain.

As the distance got closer and closer, Gao Yigong could only suppress the doubts and curiosity in his heart, hold his breath and concentrate, put his movements more lightly, and did not make any movement, so as not to be discovered by the officials and soldiers on the city wall.

With the experience of Pu County, it is being attacked by the chaotic army, as a neighboring city, how dare the defenders of Daning City have a trace of laxity?

Therefore, the city defense of Daning City is extremely tight!

I saw that on the east gate wall of Daning City, a group of officers and soldiers were patrolling, although there were not many people, but the defense was extremely tight, and the officers and soldiers who passed by were holding torches, walking back and forth on the corridor. And the brazier, which was spread all over the city.

For a time, the city wall was as bright as day, and it was like a lighthouse, indicating that Li Zicheng and others would not deviate from the route at the same time, and would not go in the wrong direction.

However, even if the city wall is bright, it still has certain characteristics, and the closer it is to the city gate, the more light it will be. Otherwise, the light is even darker.

After all, considering traditional thinking, the siege battle is, of course, mainly at the city gate.

Another point, although Daning City is not big, there are not many soldiers in the city defense battalion, it is impossible to arrange the east city gate into five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, and a little farther away, there are only one or two people. It's good to have one or two torches to light it up.

Finally, Li Zicheng led three hundred Li family troops to the city, divided into two parts, hidden on the north and south sides, each about ten meters away from the city gate.

Coming to the city, although he has also experienced a lot of siege battles, Gao Yigong has never been so nervous as tonight, and he feels that his heart is about to jump out.

Li Zicheng's series of actions not only made Gao Yigong have new doubts, only with such a dry 300 people, without any siege equipment, how to take Daning City? It's just a fantasy. Also, Gao Yigong is even more puzzled, if there is really an internal response in the city, why do you have to carry this bookcase?

In Gao Yigong's view, the bookbox is purely a burden, which not only increases the weight of the soldiers, but also makes it easier for everyone to expose their bodies and be discovered by the officers and soldiers on the city wall.

However, all these doubts and incomprehensions did not bother Gao Yigong for long, and with a gesture from Li Zicheng, the one hundred and fifty people on this side immediately took action, their movements were smooth and fast, and they were extremely skilled. Even if the light is very weak, it has no effect, and the cooperation is very tacit.

As time passed, as Li Jiajun's movements deepened, and a series of subsequent actions, Gao Yigong's curiosity was not only satisfied. And all the incomprehension and doubts, and then came to naught, full of excitement and excitement!

I saw that it was so abrupt, without any sound, and wooden ladders appeared in Gao Yigong's sight, lying horizontally on the ground, facing north and south, close to the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Yigong saw again, I don't know where to find the wooden stick, it was very long, several meters long, the length was increasing, and a soldier was holding it, quietly reaching out to the city.

Gao Yigong frowned slightly, and was suddenly stunned by this soldier's behavior, and he was very puzzled. Moreover, as if there was no limit to the length of the stick, it crept straight into the city.

"Is that weird? What kind of stick is this? Even if it was that long, higher than the city wall, it would not be possible to reach the head of the city so straight, but it should be tilted. Completely unconscionable. ”

While Gao Yigong was secretly surprised, he also tiptoed forward and slowly approached so that he could see more clearly and know what was going on, so as to satisfy the curiosity in his heart.

When he came to the front, all the doubts disappeared, and Gao Yigong suddenly realized.

Seeing that the wooden stick was still rising, the soldier walked over a three-foot-long wooden stick from the side, and it was directly embedded under the long wooden stick. As the three-foot-long sticks were attached to the bottom, the long sticks grew taller and taller.

Gao Yigong completely understands this time, why so many wooden ladders suddenly appeared? Why is there such a stick poking into the city?

Looking at the pieces of cloth on the ground, someone gently tore the outer cloth of the wooden box, took out the outline of the wooden stake inside, disassembled it again, and divided it into wooden sticks of equal length of three feet.

Obviously, both the wooden ladder and the long stick are assembled from three-foot-long wooden sticks. As for why the latter went straight up, it was to measure the height of the city wall, so that the wooden ladder could be assembled more accurately, so that the soldiers could climb up and enter the city wall through the wooden ladder.

As the long wooden sticks detected the height of the city wall, these soldiers began to assemble three-foot-long wooden sticks and lengthen the wooden ladder to reach a height close to the head of the city wall, and Li Jiajun could silently touch the city wall.

While Gao Yigong was surprised, he was more impressed and admired by the person who invented the wooden box. This wooden box can not only hold things, but also can be disassembled and assembled into a wooden ladder, which is completely a mobile wooden ladder, easy to carry and ready to use.

Finally, the long stick stopped, and the other end, less than three feet from the mouth of the wall, that is, less than a meter, stopped, and then gently retracted.

The sticks were lowered and placed horizontally on the ground, where they were disassembled again and assembled into new wooden ladders. Wooden ladders were lifted up and gently leaned against the city wall, slightly tilted. On either side of each wooden ladder, two people stood there, holding it in place with strong hands.

At this time, Gao Yigong vaguely saw that with the movement of his brother-in-law, Li Jiajun began to act, one by one the movements were extremely light, cautious and careful, slowly climbing the wooden ladder, with his left arm in front, the bow and crossbow were completely naked and exposed, full of arrows, and he was getting closer and closer to the city wall.

I don't know if it's because it's already in the middle of the night, or because it's more than ten meters away from the city gate, and some officers and soldiers who are standing guard on the city wall have begun to doze off. Even the soldiers who were patrolling looked tired, and walked straight forward, not looking at the left and right sides.

At this moment, two groups of patrolling officers and soldiers came opposite each other, staggered by, and beside the hole in the city wall, a pair of eyes were watching this scene, waiting patiently.

As the two teams of patrol officers and soldiers turned their backs to each other, they walked farther and farther, and when the officers and soldiers standing guard were drowsy, all of a sudden, one by one black shadows suddenly burst out, and their bodies fell on the aisle on the city wall very lightly, with a slight heel shake, a body shake, a buffer, and they landed steadily, almost without any sound.

These black shadows are none other than Li Jiajun, who is also playing out the same scene on the other side of the city wall in the north.

In an instant, the moment Li Jiajun landed, each soldier's right hand moved slightly, took advantage of the situation to pull out the dagger on his leg, his body spun rapidly, and the dagger instantly slashed through the throat of the sleepy guard soldier, killing him with one blow.

At the same time, these Li Jiajun, who fell on the aisle of the city wall, stretched out his left arm forward, and with a bang, a Hong Kong arrow flew out, shooting directly at the officers and soldiers who were patrolling.

All these movements are so skillful and smooth, as if flowing water, and the coordination is even more wonderful, as if a person is acting.

"Puff" and "Puff" sounded, and with a muffled sound, dozens of corpses suddenly fell on the aisle. The Li Jiajun who came up did not stop at all, and pulled out their sabers or long swords at their waists one after another, and rushed towards the city gate tower.

Not only that, but through the wooden ladder, more and more Li Jiajun jumped onto the aisle of the city wall, one after another. In a moment, the east gate of Daning City fell into the hands of the Li family's army, and the officers and soldiers almost did not react, did not resist much, and most of them died under the bow and crossbow.

Gao Yigong was surprised again, he didn't expect that every soldier of the Li family army was so skilled, neat and moving, far beyond his imagination.

The battle hasn't started yet, but it's over, and he hasn't shown his skills at all, just killing so many people. Moreover, from beginning to end, Li Jiajun did not have any casualties, not even a single one was slightly injured.

Gao Yigong was shocked at the same time, his heart was excited, and when he looked at the indifferent look of every soldier of the Li family's army, he knew in his heart that these people often fought such battles to defeat the enemy with crushing momentum.

The reason why these people are so calm and do not have the excitement of victory is only because they have long been accustomed to it, and they can no longer arouse their sense of accomplishment in such a small victory.

"Quick, pull the wooden ladder up, rest for a while, there are three other gates to take." Li Zicheng's voice came again, reminding everyone.

Immediately, the three hundred army moved again, pulling the ladder and pulling the ladder, inspecting the battlefield and inspecting the battlefield, while Gao Yigong quietly watched all this and walked towards Li Zicheng in the distance.

"Brother-in-law? What are they doing here? Why did the brother pull off the clothes of the officers and soldiers? Also, why did these wooden ladders be dismantled again, maybe they will be used in a while? ”

Hearing a series of questions from his brother-in-law, Li Zicheng did not answer immediately, but took three wooden sticks with his hands, and in Gao Yigong's curious and surprised gaze, they were combined one by one, and finally he twisted them violently and pressed them somewhere, and suddenly two sharp spear heads appeared at both ends of the three-meter-long wooden sticks, glowing with a sharp cold light, Gao Yigong's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously asked: "Brother-in-law, this is...?" ”

"Give, take it. Wait for a while to fight, using such a wooden stick spear, it is more convenient than a sword. Li Zicheng handed the two-edged wooden stick to Gao Yigong and said with a smile.

Gradually, Gao Yigong's last doubt also became clear, the reason why he took off the clothes of those official and military corpses was to let Li Jiajun disguise himself, so that he could take the opportunity to take the other three city gates.

After all, there was almost no sound in the battle at the east gate of Daning City, and the wolf smoke on the side was not ignited, and it was impossible for the other three city gates and the county magistrate of the county government to know that the east gate had been lost and the rebel army had entered the city.

Soon, the sound of fighting sounded in Daning City, but it didn't last long, the sound of fighting disappeared, and Li Jiajun, a small team of ten people, began to patrol the streets, holding torches.

At the gate of the county office, there was even more firelight, and there were torches everywhere, Li Zicheng stood at the door, looked ahead, and began to give a series of orders: "Pass the order, immediately release a signal, and inform Mr. Xu that they can come to Daning City." ”

"One gong, lead a hundred people, immediately go to the grove outside the east gate, and lead the war horse into the city."

"Yes, brother-in-law!"

"Liu Fangliang, you lead fifty people, divided into five squads, to patrol along the street to ensure that there will be no riots in Daning City."

"Yes, Boss, the last general will go!"
