Chapter 290 The gates are wide open and the inside and outside are closed
It is said that the soldiers outside the west city moved, gathered under the city wall, and when they reached the city not far away, bursts of fire shot over.
Huang Dou looked up at the fire, it turned out to be a rocket shot by the archers under the city tower, just bent down and lay down, the pillars of the doors and windows of the city tower were suddenly full of arrows, and the blazing flames crackled, and soon ignited the city tower.
"Hurry up and put out the fire first, all the archers are gathered and ready, and these invading enemies will be sent back to me, quickly!" Huang Dou climbed up from the ground and waved his hand to the Red Turban Army next to him.
Montenegro led the archers to gather in the city and stomped on the mouth, drew the bow and fired arrows indiscriminately, only to hear the wailing below, and some officers and soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, rolling back and forth on the grass and groaning.
The Dian army went forward to attack the city one after another, and Orion Montenegro was responsible for preventing it, and Hou Fengfeng took his men to carry water to extinguish the fire, and suddenly there was a commotion inside and outside the city.
In the remote black alley under the city gate, a team of soldiers and horses galloped quickly, and it turned out to be Dai Yu of the dilapidated Taoist temple, leading the five hundred soldiers to come quickly.
The Red Turban soldiers at the gate of the city were busy fighting the fire, Dai Yu led his men to slowly touch the mouth of the alley, and looked at the gate of the city, the defense was still in order, and the streets were full of red turban soldiers and ordinary people fighting fires.
"General Dai! What do we do now? The guards at the gate of this city are in good order, even if the army outside the city is attacking the city, I am afraid that it will not evacuate for a while, should we wait or attack the city gate immediately? The officers and soldiers next to him came over, bent down and clenched their fists to look at Dai Yu and asked.
"Wait and see! At present, there are hundreds of red turban troops at the gate of this city, if they attack the city gate now, the firefighters on the street will immediately come to reinforce, and the red turban army on the city wall will also be dispatched immediately, and when the army outside begins to attack the city, and the two sides are short and flawless, it is the time for our five hundred warriors to attack. Dai Yu retracted his head and waved his hand to his subordinates.
The hundreds of officers and soldiers retreated into the alley, and suddenly there was a burst of artillery fire, and the houses in the city rose with thick smoke and a crackling sound from the raging fire.
At the battlement of the west city, on the left is Tan Feitian's army on the west road, and on the right is the Yunnan army led by Xiong Fei, who climbed the siege ladder one after another, although they were shot countless and fell under the city wall, the soldiers behind followed up one after another, and for a time the hand-to-hand combat battle at the battlement was in front of them.
Xiong Fei rode out of the team, watched his subordinates fall under the city wall one after another, turned to Rong Zhongqing Yunyan and asked, "Where is the person who led the way?" It's not that we should attack on a large scale, General Dai opened the city gate to join the outside, and half an hour has passed, why has there been no movement for a long time? ”
"General Xiong doesn't have to be too anxious, General Feitian of the West Road has already cooperated with the siege, and this passer-by Xie Shiju is waiting for my precious dagger in the middle of the army, I'll call him over for you, right?" Rong Zhongqingyun waved his horse and spurred the horse over, bowed his head and hugged his fists.
"So much so and so good! Go and call that Xie Shiju to me quickly, this silver tael is also given to him, if the team does not reach the city, I will definitely want him to look good! Xiong Fei looked anxiously at the gate of Xicheng, and saw that his hand fell down a lot, slapped the horsewhip in his hand, and said angrily.
After a while, Rong Zhongqingyun brought Xie Shiju from behind, waved his hand and led it to Xiong Fei.
"General! This leader Xie Shiju brought it, please give me the order! Rong Zhongqingyun waved his right hand, took Xie Shiju with a smile on his face, and rode his horse to the front of the formation.
"I said thank you, brother! We have been attacking the city for almost an hour, why is this city so quiet, haven't they walked out of the secret passage and found the west gate? Or did they go somewhere else? Xiong Fei turned his head to look at Xie Shiju and asked without a smile.
"The general is wronged! I have sent this letter back for your perusal, and there is also General Dai's autograph on it, I am sincerely leading the way for you military masters, and my loyalty can be expressed in the sun and the moon! Xie Shiju looked at Xiong Fei full of anger, and quickly turned over and dismounted? He bent over and clenched his fists with his head down.
"Even if what you said is true, when is it now, there is no movement in this city at all, you said that if it were you, what would you think?" Xiong Fei pointed to the closed city gate, and said without a good face.
"Don't worry, General! I really brought this centaur into the secret passage for you, if I tell a lie, even if I eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, I don't dare to take the silver taels, and return it to the net? Xie Shiju looked at the dagger on Xiong Fei's waist and said with some guidance.
"That's right! If you really are lying to me, if you wait for the gates to be opened, you will definitely be exposed, even if you hide everywhere. I will also send someone to arrest you, but you will come back to my Yunnan army camp by yourself, is it really that I am too careful? Xiong Fei heard Xie Shiju speak, and turned his head to look at the Qingyun in the middle of the face and said.
"General Xiong, don't worry! I estimate that our team, the leader may really be brought into the secret passage, if you lie to deceive this baby dagger, not only will you not get anything, but I am afraid that you will have to take your own life, this Brother Xie is reasonable, I don't think it is a lie to deceive our baby! Rong Zhongqingyun kept nodding and said to Xiong Fei with a smile.
Just as the three of them were talking, the gate of the West City slowly opened, Xie Shiju waved his finger over, and said with a smile to everyone: "What I said is not wrong!" You see that the centaurs I brought in have already opened the city gates, so I should give me your dagger now, right? ”
"I'll take a look later! If it was really General Dai Yu who opened the city gate, I would definitely not break my word and get fat, and when the time came, I would definitely give you the dagger, and the little ones would kill me! Xiong Fei waved his horsewhip and led his men to rush towards the gate of Xicheng.
This Xiong Fei felt more and more that something was wrong, it stands to reason that if Dai Yu opened the city gate, he should come out to respond, even if he fought with the Red Turban Army in the city, at least he could see the figure, but the city gate was empty, which made him a little worried.
Xiong Fei subconsciously grabbed the reins, stopped outside the city gate, waved his hand to his subordinates behind him, and hurried to the city gate.
"Not good! It's the Red Turban Army out of the city, it seems that I was really negligent, "These subordinates fell one after another, Xiong Fei just woke up from a dream, turned his horse's head and ran away.
Two roads of men and horses were killed on the left and right sides of the city gate, and the sound of killing suddenly shook the heavens and the earth, and surrounded the officers and soldiers who were about to enter the city just now.
Xiong Fei turned back to the Chinese army, secretly rejoicing in his heart, and looked back at the gate of the city, and couldn't help but sweat dripping......
