Night Seven: Night Attack on Dongguan (2)
The location chosen by the Donghai team to climb the wall is on the edge of the gate, because the gate of the tail east pass is the same as the east tail gate, which is a lifting gate controlled by a winch. As long as the castle tower is controlled, the gate of Weidongguan can be successfully opened, so that the large army of the town guard can quickly follow up. Therefore, the first thing Zhang Wei did after coming up was to pounce on the few rebels on duty at the head of the wall with his teeth and claws, and he also easily extinguished the lights at the head of the city twice.
When Xiaofeng came up close behind, due to the lack of light, he couldn't see the situation on Zhang Wei's side clearly for a while. He quickly took out his long sword from his weapon bag and wanted to fight, but as soon as the long sword was swung halfway, the two of them had already fallen to the ground first, and he was also sprayed with hot blood.
The third person to climb the wall was Xiao Qi, who had been trained by Zhang Wei during this time, and as soon as he saw the dim lights above, he immediately launched the "stealth" skill and disappeared into the darkness, ready to give a "surprise" to the rebels who had just reacted and ran from a distance to help.
By the time the fourth one appeared at the head of the wall, Zhang Wei and Xiaofeng had already cleared out all the rebels outside the wall and went south to block the rebels from that direction. Seeing that the people coming from that direction were some low-strength miscellaneous soldiers, and it was more than enough to deal with these two people, Wuyang turned around and headed north, but accidentally bumped into a black shadow, which startled him.
Seeing that Wuyang overreacted and pulled out the Pu knife, the shadow hurriedly whispered, "It's me, Xiao Qi." Then he moved to the side, hiding in the darker corners of the wall, waiting to attack the rebels.
Behind them, Sima Fuqiang and Wanyue were a little slower, and they also came up at this time, and the two rushed into the city tower on the gate as soon as possible. Huang Zhi followed the two female teammates to press the formation, and when he also came up, the teammates already had a partner to fight against.
Because there were no officers on duty at the scene, and the few thirty or so rebels guarding the wall did not know the power of the dream man, they did not even gather manpower, but gathered in groups of threes, threes, twos, and twos. They didn't even gather as fast as the Donghai team, and in a short time, half of the rebels at the end of the wall had fallen.
It was not until this moment that the rebels guarding the pass woke up like a dream and sounded the alarm bell hanging at the head of the city and summoned men and horses to come for reinforcements. And the remaining dozen or so people did not dare to come closer, but retreated to the middle of the road to the wall, where they held each other, and did not dare to defend themselves with the people in their dreams.
In the barracks behind Weidongguan, the lights were finally lit up at this time, and some people scolded and blamed the group on duty tonight for being too noisy and completely unaware of what was happening. This is really because there has been no war between the two levels for a long time, and everyone has been at ease for too long.
At this moment, Li Sha has already begun to provide emergency treatment for several team members who were slightly injured just now. Because of her existence, Zhang Wei's combat style is becoming more and more deadly, as long as the opponent's attack is not aimed at the vital point, in order to save time, he even owes the surname of the person to dodge, and he has to kill the opponent quickly even after taking a knife. After every battle, he was stained with blood, and he couldn't find an inch of clean cloth on his body. Of course, someone else's blood will be more.
Seeing that he had completely controlled the wall of Weidongguan, Sima Fuqiang turned around and shouted, "Wanyue, go and open the city gate, we will fight the rebels' counterattack!" ”
At the time of Dongwei Pass, Wanyue had already tried the winch to open the door, and thanks to the help of the pulley, it was usually possible for four ordinary soldiers to push the winch together to open the door. And at this moment, Wanyue, who has C-rank "brute strength", can withstand more than four ordinary people, so the task of opening the door is up to him.
In the direction of Dongwei Pass, since the Donghai team successfully climbed to the top of the wall, a ten-man team composed entirely of elite village warriors set out, and their duty was to remove the horse rejection formation before the two passes, so that the cavalry of the town guard could rush into the opponent's gate in one go, causing as many casualties as possible.
In fact, although the people in the dream took on the most difficult part of the battle, if they wanted to really win the Weidongguan, it still depended on the performance of the soldiers under them. It is completely impossible for the nine of them to kill or repel the rebels of as many as a thousand people. Wars need heroes, but it is impossible to win them with the individual heroism of a few.
Therefore, although the Donghai team has successfully taken the most difficult wall to conquer in Weidongguan, if they don't open the gate as soon as possible and let the reinforcements of the town guard enter the pass, sooner or later they will still be counterattacked by the rebels with a numerical advantage, and then the hard work in front will be in vain.
And the winch that opened the door was inside this tower. Whether it is the East End Pass or the opposite of the East Gate, the city tower above the gate has three floors high, the first floor is the organ room, inside is the winch and other machinery used to lift the city gate, and the second and third floors on it are the bell and drum room and the command platform.
Offices are usually unguarded, and are only accessible when the gates need to be opened and closed. The second and third floors were also swept by Sima Fuqiang and Wanyue just now, and several rebels who were responsible for beating bells and drums had already laid their bodies on the upper floor, and the entire city tower was left with the organ room on the first floor and had not entered.
Wanyue retracted the sledgehammer into her weapon pouch and turned to walk into the dark chamber. Huang Zhi hurriedly pulled a torch from the wall and followed him to help light it. The two of them pushed open the two doors of the organ room.
Before the light of the torches could illuminate the organ room, Huang Zhi first felt a piercing chill. It was by no means because the organ room had not been opened for a long time, after all, at this time, the Dongzhou Dream World had just entered the Mid-Autumn Festival in September, even if the weather turned cold, it would not be cold.
In fact, this kind of rush should have originated from intuition, and it was not the first time it had appeared, whenever Huang Zhi encountered a fatal attack, and over time, he also understood that this was an ability given by his unheard talent. So at this moment, he stepped back sharply without hesitation, and then a chilling long sword appeared in front of him, pointing directly at the vital point of his neck.
Huang Zhi casually threw the torch in his hand forward, trying to slow down the opponent's speed. However, his actions did not achieve practical results, and in the firelight, a face with gnashing teeth lightly tilted its head to the side, easily avoiding Huang Zhi's torch "attack", but the movement at hand did not slow down at all.
For some reason, Wanyue saw Huang Zhi suddenly throw away the torch and step back, and he didn't realize what was happening for a while. In an instant, I saw a disheveled rebel lieutenant rushing out of the office room, holding a four-foot long sword and chasing Huang Zhi, who was constantly retreating.
This person is the deputy lieutenant Xuanjie on duty, and his boss, Captain Xuanjie, didn't know how to hide in that corner and lazy at this time, while another lieutenant was guarding the gate of the village on the side of Weidong Pass near Wei County. He himself hid in the organ room and slept until he was woken up by the sound of fighting, so he didn't even have time to put on his clothes.
In fact, this phenomenon of skipping work and sleeping has existed in Weidongguan for a long time, and this is the case for all officers who are on duty at night, and they even have a floor shop in the office room. As for the command platform on the top floor, it was really unsightly to be lazy there, and even his boss couldn't say anything if he wanted to turn a blind eye, so he escaped tonight.
In the dream, people could not have imagined that the rebel commander on duty would not be on the command platform, but sleeping in the organ room, so after they cleared the upstairs, they did not expect that the strongest enemy on the wall had actually been hiding by their side all along.
Hiding in the organ room and peeking for a while, this Xuanjie lieutenant has basically understood how tough this group of guys who raided Weidongguan is, and at least three of them are absolutely impossible to defeat by themselves, not to mention the number of people on the other side. But since the other party is here to grab the pass, he must enter the office room to open the door, so there is always a time when he can't avoid it. In the end, he chose two suitable targets as breakthroughs, that is, Huang Zhi and Li Sha.
In his opinion, these two people are not only a little weaker than the others, but they are both long-range attackers, and their melee ability is very poor, and he is sure to defeat the enemy with one move. This deputy lieutenant Xuanjie had to think that his luck was really good, and as one of the targets he chose, Huang Zhi actually sent it to the door.
So he unceremoniously took advantage of the moment when the other party pushed the door and directly killed the killer, as long as he could kill this archer, he could take advantage of the other party's surprise and panic to break through the encirclement and escape back to his own people.
It's just that Huang Zhi's feeling was only sensitive and beyond his imagination, and he reacted the moment the long sword was shot, and retreated frantically. But it doesn't matter, normal people can't go backwards faster than they move forward. Without special training, even Xiaofeng, who has "agile" skills, can't do this, let alone Huang Zhi.
So he let go of the waning moon who didn't react at all on the side, but persistently chased Huang Zhi unremittingly. Even in his opinion, every time the archer in front of him took one more step back, he had more hope of escaping, so after chasing two steps, his hand relaxed slightly.
Although Deputy Lieutenant Xuanjie relaxed his grip on him, for Huang Zhi, the status quo did not make much difference, and the long sword was still firmly locked on his throat. Once is enough for someone to be pierced through the throat, and he says he doesn't want to do it again. The East China Sea team no longer has a "life-sustaining water", and if he is greeted again, he will be the real death.
The teammates all went to the side of the road, far away water could not quench the thirst of the near, only the waning moon was a little closer, but the distance was also widening step by step, and when he reacted and then took out the sledgehammer, Huang Zhi was already dying. At this moment, it is really a call for the heavens and the earth.
What's worse is that Huang Zhi has almost reached the point where there is no way back, if he remembers correctly, there is a female wall a meter away behind him. Even if Huang Zhi's speed of retreat is not inferior to the pace of the other party's advance, retreating there is the end of his life.
Time seemed to slow down again at this moment, he recalled the scenes behind Dingjun Mountain, and remembered how much burden he brought to his teammates after being "shot" by Huang Zhong; I remembered that Li Sha had been desperately trying to improve her "medical" skills recently, just to be able to rely on her ability to give everyone more hope of survival when her teammates were injured.
In Huang Zhi's mind, maybe he is not so indispensable to this team, but it can be imagined that if he really dies, what a big blow it will be to his teammates, and what a big blow to Li Sha, who has been working silently.
He couldn't help but turn his head to look for the girl's figure. These words came, and Li Sha came all the way to Lucheng because of one of his promises. But are the two of them really a pair of lovers? There wasn't even a formal date, but more like an old couple who had been married for many years, without any passion, just relying on each other and supporting each other in the dream world.
Found her.
Because the incident came too suddenly, the girl had no idea what was going on here, and at the moment she was still fully engaged in her duties to heal Huang Zhi's good brother Zhang Wei.
Speaking of Zhang Wei, Huang Zhi couldn't help laughing, although it was an accident that he pulled him into this world, it may be the most correct thing he has done in his life. The dream world that others regard as a tiger and wolf is like a tiger and wolf, but for this guy, it is as sweet as a glutton, and it is suitable for him. Judging from his increasingly ferocious fighting style recently, this guy's blood has been completely ignited and boiling. actually used his body as a shield, desperately to get himself injured, and also to restrict the opponent from retracting his weapon to defend. Crazy enough!
Stimulated by Zhang Wei's madness, Huang Zhi suddenly had a way. Then he stumbled on his feet, and was about to fall backwards.
Deputy Lieutenant Xuanjie hurriedly moved the tip of his sword down a few inches and continued to point it directly at Huang Zhi's throat. At this moment, he had already decided to kill this archer, otherwise it would be too late. The swordsman over there, who was faster than his horse, had already turned his head to look at this side, and according to what he had just observed, this person could run to him in the blink of an eye, and it would not be so easy to get it then.
At this time, Huang Zhi suddenly stood up straight, and his body slightly moved a few inches to the left. At this time, because of the two posture adjustments, he had stopped under his feet, allowing the long sword to penetrate his chest and penetrate his back.
Despite the pain, he smiled bitterly at Lieutenant Xuanjie, took out a dagger from his weapon bag, and stabbed it forward.
In the eyes of Deputy Lieutenant Xuanjie, Huang Zhi's smile with pain was even more ugly than crying, but he believed that his expression must be even more ugly at the moment. He didn't expect the other party to use this kind of self-harm to defuse his deadly attack, and because of his habitual surname, he was already close to the other party at the moment.
At this moment, Deputy Lieutenant Xuanjie was facing a dilemma, because the distance between them was too close, if he wanted to pull out the four-foot long sword inserted in Huang Zhi's right chest, he had to take a big step back. In this way, he may still have a chance to kill the archers in front of him, but he will definitely be surrounded by the other party and lose the last chance to break through.
And if he was to give up his weapon and run away with all his might, he could rush out before the others surrounded him. But with the speed of that swordsman, he will definitely be overtaken, and then he will be slaughtered without a fight.
This Xuanjie lieutenant is also a ruthless character, and he was immediately inspired by Huang Zhi, and he is no longer entangled. "Isn't it just a sword, he can take it, what am I afraid of!" Leaving the long sword on Huang Zhi's chest, he turned around and rushed to the road, and even his right arm was slashed by Huang Zhi's dagger. If it was a step too late, the waning moon behind him would have already taken out a sledgehammer and was about to smash it, and then he would really have only one way to die.
"Xiaofeng, kill him!" Holding back the pain, Huang Zhi shouted.
Xiaofeng did glance at this side, but because Huang Zhi threw away the torch in his hand, it was dark around the city tower, and he really didn't see what was going on here, and he only vaguely saw two figures there, advancing and retreating, not knowing what to do.
At this time, Deputy Lieutenant Xuanjie ran out of the shadows, the rebel uniform was quite obvious, and hearing Huang Zhi's shout, Xiaofeng suddenly understood, and immediately activated the "speed" effect to run in this direction. However, his reaction was already a little late, unless he was willing to chase Deputy Lieutenant Xuanjie to the crowd of rebels, at most he would draw a sword on the opponent's back, and it would be impossible to kill Deputy Lieutenant Xuanjie.
Deputy Lieutenant Xuanjie couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, this time he should be able to retreat with his whole body, and at most he will suffer some minor injuries. From the beginning, he was most worried about Xiaofeng's speed, but now it seems that he doesn't have to worry about it.
The rest of the Dream Men of the Tokai Team stood at the junction of the horse road and the wall, blocking the entrance to the horse road tightly. However, Deputy Lieutenant Xuanjie didn't need to go down from there, he could jump directly from these meters away from the low wall on the inside of the wall, the height from here to the horse road was only more than two meters, it may not be easy to come up from below, but it was easy to go down from above.
Xiaofeng barely caught up with him, but this distance really couldn't give the other party a fatal blow, unless someone could stop him.
Just as Lieutenant Xuanjie triumphantly jumped down the low wall, an arm suddenly stretched out from his back, and a dagger came out of the shadows and across his neck.
Lieutenant Xuanjie's mind went blank as he saw the dagger, but could not react to it, for he had already begun to fall, as if he had sent his neck to the blade of the dagger.
With the tearing sound of defeat, Lieutenant Xuanjie's neck was pulled in half, and he fell heavily on the road, and the blood sprayed out was like a waterfall, and he lost his life in an instant.
Behind the low wall above his head, Xiao Qi appeared. As a supernumerary member of the Tokai team, and also the weakest combat force, his duty is not to guard the horse road with his teammates, but to hide on the sidelines and wait for the opportunity to kill and injure the enemy. At this moment, he worked wonders.
