Chapter 803: Infiltrate the city
Night slowly fell, and a bright moon hung high in the deep night sky.
The cold moonlight sprinkled down, putting a layer of silver veil on the desolate earth, the quiet city was particularly abrupt in the clear light, countless beating torches shone around, dispelling the moonlight, reflecting indifferent faces, even the arrows, war knives are reflecting the cold light, making people palpitate.
The front of the city gate was barren, the terrain was flat, and the ground was covered with dust, and if you didn't look closely, you soon found that countless people were squirming, and it was the soldiers of the Guard Regiment who had infiltrated.
All of them were covered in a dusty coarse cloth, and their heads and feet were tightly wrapped, and the color was quite good, so that people and their surroundings blended together, and it was difficult to detect because they crawled slowly.
The leader is Luo Wu, for this attack, in order to reflect the strength of the guard regiment, Luo Wu personally led the team, crawling in the front, seeing that it was only thirty meters away from the city gate, the further forward the more likely it was exposed, the physical exertion of climbing over this way was a little large, and it was decided to stop and rest.
When the people behind saw Luo Wu stop, they also stood still.
After resting for a while, Luo Wu felt that his physical strength had recovered a lot, and he quickly played a series of battle sign language backwards, signaling everyone to climb slower and follow their own rhythm, and the movement was too fast to arouse suspicion.
Sign language communication is already a compulsory course in the guard regiment, and they can all understand it.
Luo Wu crawled forward slowly, using both hands and feet, but the range of movement was very small, and with the strength of his chest and abdomen, the whole person was like a giant python slowly swimming, approaching the prey.
Every time he crawled a meter or so, Luo Wu stopped to rest, while observing the enemy situation, making sure that there was no suspicion and continuing to crawl forward, this way of infiltration is difficult, painful, and boring, but it is dark under the light, and it is the most unexpected and safest.
After a while, the group came to a range of twenty meters from the city gate, and the people on the city wall could see it more clearly, Luo Wu didn't dare to be careless, and continued to crawl slowly, moving little by little.
After crawling for about five or six meters, Luo Wu keenly noticed that someone was pointing at him at the head of the city, and he estimated that he was suspicious, so he quickly stopped moving.
Suddenly, the archers on the head of the city took aim and struck very hotly.
One after another feathered arrows flew by, extremely fierce, and the screaming sound was even more panicked and frightening, but no one got up and ran around, not even motionless, like a rock.
The feather arrow was nailed around everyone, and Luo Wu was even more shot, but he didn't care, he had already taken this into account before coming, and deliberately tied a shield to his back, made of pure steel, extremely strong, and the feather arrow failed to penetrate.
The defenders at the head of the city were particularly uneasy, and after three more rounds, they stopped firing when they saw that there was still no movement.
Normally, even if there is armor at such a distance, it will be shot through by feather arrows, killed, as long as it makes a little sound, the action will be exposed, but the enemy often did not expect that Luo Wu and the others were carrying a special pure steel shield, plus a coarse cloth cushion, to cover up the sound of arrow impact.
After testing that there was no abnormality, the defenders at the head of the city were relieved and recovered as before.
Luo Wu didn't move, to prevent someone from peeping, waited for a long time for tea, and continued to move forward after making sure that there was no problem, slowly, little by little.
This is a technical job, and it tests the most psychological quality and skills.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of people who can be selected into the guard regiment, and they move slowly behind Luo Wu, no one speaks, no one moves deformed, and no one spends speed up.
Unconsciously, the group was less than ten meters away from the city gate, and the towering city wall blocked the moonlight, leaving a dark shadow in this area of ten meters, and the people at the head of the city were also staring ahead, plus the torches, the lights were dark, and no one paid attention to the situation in the shadows under the city.
Luo Wu decisively accelerated and climbed forward for a distance, suddenly burst out, rushed forward with an explosive bag, and rushed to the city gate hole in one breath, where the bow and arrow could not be shot, and it was much safer.
Other people also followed suit, and rushed into the city gate hole, one by one excited, they really succeeded in infiltrating, it turned out that the battle could still be fought like this?
"Hurry up and prepare." Luo Wu said in a low voice.
Everyone took out the explosives package, piled them all up at the foot of the city gate, and the leads were connected together, and after that, Luo Wu took out the fire sickle and blew it up, not lighting the explosives package, but shining it outside.
The light of the fire sickle was as faint as a candle, but from a distance, it was pitch black inside the city gate, and a little fire light was particularly dazzling in the darkness.
In the distance, Qin Huaidao saw that the infiltration was successful, and smiled with satisfaction.
Xue Wanche also looked at this scene incredulously, feeling that his previous combat experience had lost his effect, and he was able to use this method to quietly touch the city gate, plus the explosive bag, this is simply a magic weapon to end the city gate.
Thinking that there would be a battle soon, Xue Wanche looked at Qin Huaidao excitedly.
Qin Huaidao nodded and said: "General Xue, lead your troops forward, put on an offensive posture to attract the enemy, and cover the people who sneak up on the back door, Dorjee, transfer a large army to block the back door, don't let one go, those who dare to kill us must be punished, remember, don't take prisoners, but don't disturb the people, the old rules, after taking this city will be the king's." ”
"Obey!" The two replied solemnly.
Almost at the same time, all over the back gates of the city.
A series of flying claws were thrown onto the city wall, like a poisonous snake in the air under the gray moonlight, steadily hooking the wall battlements, and the black figures grabbed the rope and quickly climbed up, using both hands and feet, stepping on the city wall and climbing at night, as if walking on the ground.
The back door is as Qin Huaidao guessed, there is only a team of people on duty, and the vigilance is very low, and he didn't think that anyone would climb up and gather together to chat about something.
Soon, a head poked out of the wall, it was Luo Ying.
This kind of thrilling action Luo Ying will not sit on the wall and watch, seeing the guards chatting not far away, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his arm was forced, his body rolled up, and he landed silently.
Luo Ying didn't rush to get up, but squatted in the shadows and vigilantly observed the surroundings, holding a repeater crossbow in his hand, and heard a slight sound of landing, knowing that the brothers were coming up, he quickly rushed forward against the retaining wall.
Suddenly, someone shouted something in surprise.
The people who were chatting looked over one after another, and Luo Ying knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he quickly pulled the trigger.
Others also took action.
"Woohoo!"
One after another, the crossbow arrows flew away, instantly knocking down more than thirty of the alert guards.
In order to ensure the completion of the task, Luo Ying can carefully select two hundred people, all of whom are masters, although the first batch of people who came up was only fifty, but the distance was too close, and the accuracy was extremely high, and before the remaining guards could react, more crossbow arrows pounced up, and all of them were shot in a short time.
Luo Ying signaled to the remaining people on standby, and more people climbed up along the ropes.
Everyone squatted in the shadow of the retaining wall and did not move, Luo Ying carefully probed to check the city, there were not many places with light, and the remaining area was dark, needless to say that the places with light were all related to the defenders, and it was impossible for the prisoners to be imprisoned in the government office, only the camp.
After some screening, Luo Ying selected a suspected camp and took someone to touch it.
Under the moonlight, one by one is like a nocturnal Grim Reaper, dexterous, agile, and silent.
