Chapter 261: Capture Zitong
Knock knock. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The sound of war drums shattered the silence of the night.
The defenders on Zitong City immediately shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
Zhang Ren, who was napping on the city wall, woke up suddenly, and commanded his soldiers to quickly build a defensive front. At the same time, the remaining three guards were ordered to be on guard.
The drums sounded for a long time, and the defenders on Zitong City waited for a long time, but they did not see any enemy troops coming to attack the city. The walls were brightly lit, but it was pitch black outside, and it was unknown if anyone had come to attack the city.
Zhang Ren had a loud alarm in his heart, and immediately sent someone to check the situation of the other three gates. He was worried that the drums at the North Gate were just a trick to lure the enemy. Soon the news came back from the soldiers, and the other three gates did not find anything to do.
He frowned, and resolutely ordered: "The scout team listens to the order, from now on, you must pass on the situation of the remaining three doors every other time of incense, and there must be no mistakes!" Lei Tong, you personally lead the patrol team to patrol back and forth between the other three gates, and you must not slack off. ”
"Yes, General."
Lei Tong and the scouts led the way.
Zhang Ren looked at the dark night sky, his heart full of worry.
Judging by the situation during the day, it seems that the enemy is not ready to attack the city, why is it that at night it is suddenly about to attack the city again? Could it be that something happened to Chen Xujun? Or is it the daytime situation, which itself is an illusion created to confuse oneself?
If Chen Xujun's division of troops during the day was to confuse himself, then when were they preparing to attack the city? Which gate will be the main attack? Or were they preparing to attack the four gates at once?
This feeling of the initiative being in the hands of the enemy is really bad.
Throughout the night, the drums sounded intermittently, one moment at the east gate, one moment at the south gate, and a little later at the north and west gates. The defenders in Zitong City were tormented and miserable.
Even if Zhang Ren made them rotate, in order to prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking, they could only rest near the city wall, and they would still be affected by the earth-shaking drums.
Outside Zitong City, Li Jing, who had been sleeping for half a night, woke up. He put on his clothes and walked out of the tent, beckoned one of the guards and asked; "What time is it?"
"Back to the general, it's almost four watches."
"It's all four watches." Li Jing rubbed his eyes, "You send someone to inform Gan Ning and ask them to act quickly, there will be no chance when it is dawn." ”
"General, there was news just now, General Gan and the others have touched the city, and they are ready to find a suitable time to climb the city wall."
Li Jing nodded with satisfaction, "This kid is really patient, I thought he couldn't wait to try to climb the city wall." In that case, I'll help him again. The order was given, and the army lit torches and marched to the north gate of Zitong! ”
At the sound of an order, the army quickly assembled, and each soldier held a torch, like a fire dragon heading straight to the north gate.
When the defenders on the city wall found out, they immediately woke up Zhang Ren, who was resting on the city wall.
"General, no! Look, the enemy is coming towards the north gate. It is estimated that there were about 50,000 or 60,000 horses. ”
Zhang Ren woke up suddenly, "Don't panic, the enemy hasn't started attacking the city yet." The archers prepare, and the sword and shield soldiers step forward to protect. Order the remaining three gates, be cautious, and never be careless. ”
The soldiers sprang into action and hurriedly carried out various preparations. Heralds, archers, sword and shield soldiers, and men carrying oil and wood came and went on the city walls, and there was a sense of chaos.
Unlike the panic at the north gate, the guards of the other three gates were all leaning against the city wall and falling asleep after being tossed for most of the night. The frequency of patrols is getting lower and lower, and it is almost half an hour before they patrol once.
Gan Ning, who had been lurking under the city walls for a long time, was keenly aware that their opportunity had come. He gestured to his brothers and motioned for them to get moving.
Whoosh.
Click-click-click.
One by one, the hooks were thrown onto the city wall, and when they were pulled hard, they stuck the edge of the city wall.
Ganning and his brothers quickly climbed the wall along the rope and quickly took out the awakened guards.
"Hurry up and change into their clothes, we don't have much time, we must open the south gate before the enemy finds out." Gan Ning stripped off the guard's clothes and beckoned the brothers to hurry up.
"Boss, there are more than 100 of us in total, and there are only a few guards here, how can there be so many clothes to change? Why don't you take the people who have changed their clothes to open the city gates, and the rest of them will stand on the city walls in batches to help intercept the patrols and the enemy troops who have rushed to support? ”
Gan Ning grinned, "That's a good idea, just do it." Well, I think I'll leave 30 people behind, and the rest will follow me to open the gates. ”
At this time, the night was thick, and the sleepy-eyed enemy army had no time to distinguish it, so it was killed by Gan Ning and others. Then they changed into their clothes and continued towards the city gates.
"Stand still, the city gate is heavy, and you must not approach without the order of the general!"
Gan Ning's eyes rolled, "We were sent by the general to help defend the city gate. You see, this is a warrant from the general. ”
He left his brothers standing where they were, and walked alone to the gate guards, pretending to have a warrant from his bosom.
When the city gate guard saw Gan Ning coming alone, his vigilance dropped a lot, "Oh, it turned out that the general sent it, it's really hard for you." ”
Gan Ning approached the guard with a grin, "Everywhere, it's not all for meritorious service." ”
Poof.
The dagger plunged into the guard's chest.
Gan Ning grabbed the guard's throat, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Come over a few people, this brother seems to have an accident. ”
Several guards hurried over.
Gan Ning's brothers understood, and immediately drew their weapons and rushed over.
A clever guard noticed that the situation was not right and immediately shouted: "Enemy attack! They are not from our army, someone has attacked the city gates! ”
The surrounding defenders heard the shouts and quickly approached in the direction of the south gate.
Gan Ning and the others hurriedly dealt with the nearby guards and opened the city gate together.
The generals lurking near the south gate saw the gate open and immediately commanded their troops to enter the south gate.
"Brothers, kill!"
"Capture Zitong and capture Zhang Ren alive!"
"The time has come to make contributions, brothers go together!"
Bang bang bang!
A few cannon horns rang out, and several colorless fireworks exploded in the sky.
Li Jing looked up and saw the fireworks, and immediately commanded the army to launch a fierce attack.
Lei Tong ran to the north gate in a panic, panting and shouting: "General, it's not good, the south gate and the south gate have been opened, and the enemy army has already attacked Zitong." We, we're afraid, I'm afraid we can't hold it. ”
Zhang Ren only felt that his eyes were dark for a moment, and then he stood firm, "Zitong City, is this the end?" Tell the whole army to fight the enemy to the death! ”
Although the defenders of Zitong put up stubborn resistance, they were outnumbered after all, and finally Li Jing led the army to occupy Zitong. Gan Ning also took his brothers and captured Zhang Ren and Lei Tong alive.
Chengdu City has lost its last barrier.
