Chapter 918: Night Attack

Qizhou under the moonlight is exceptionally quiet. Clean

The night breeze was blowing, and the flag on the city wall shook weakly with the wind a few times, and then drooped down, like a person who was powerless to resist was thinking about his heart in frustration, thinking of a certain possibility and couldn't help but cheer up a few times, feeling unbelievable, he drooped down again, unable to be silent.

The soldiers on the city wall stared wide-eyed, vigilantly around, not sparing any detail.

The news of the destruction of the cities of Yuanzhou and Longzhou has come, and An Yuanshou, the governor of Qizhou, rewarded the three armies, boosted morale, and issued a strict order, and all the officers in the city were also allowed to enter but not leave.

As a military general, An Yuanshou was very brave, and entered the Qin Palace's mansion at the age of sixteen, serving as the right Kuzhi, responsible for guards, escorts, and saddle horses, and won the trust of Li Er, and played a non-negligible role in major events such as the Xuanwumen Revolution and the Turkic soldiers Linweishui Bridge.

It can be said that An Yuanshou is a die-hard royalist, after Li Tai ascended the throne, he entrusted Qizhou, the west gate of Chang'an, to the right Weiwei general, and sent 10,000 forbidden army reinforcements, plus Qizhou soldiers, An Yuanshou can use up to 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

When the imperial court sent troops to attack Qinzhou, Qizhou was introduced as the rear, hoarding a large number of materials and equipment, leaving 20,000 soldiers and 10,000 heavy soldiers, and An Yuanshou could actually mobilize up to 60,000 soldiers and horses.

With 60,000 troops in hand, coupled with the tall and strong city of Qizhou, An Yuanshou was fully sure to defend it, thinking that if he could defeat the King of Han, he would definitely become famous in one battle, and the Duke of Feng Guo would not be a problem. Clean

An Yuanshou, who has Hu blood, is belligerent, advocating that if there is a strong, the strong are respected, and he is quite looking forward to the upcoming battle and has made many deployments.

The war broke out at any time, An Yuanshou was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all, so he took his guards to the city wall.

"Governor!"

"See the Governor!"

The guards of the city saluted.

"Is there anything unusual?"

An Yuanshou asked indifferently, while looking around, the surroundings were open, the terrain was flat, and the distance was gray, and he couldn't see anything really, there were bursts of insect chirps, and it was quiet as usual. Clean

A lieutenant clasped his fists and said: "General Hui, no abnormality was found, the brothers are in good spirits and staring very closely, please rest assured." ”

"Pass the order, keep watch well, kill the enemy, and there will be a heavy reward for turning back." An Yuanshou said with satisfaction.

"Obey, Governor Chetdu."

An Yuanshou asked some morale and defense questions, and after making sure that it was okay, he left with the guards, and the city wall returned to calm again, and the guards continued to patrol and keep guard.

Before you know it, in the middle of the night, the defenders on the city wall began to change their guards.

It is inevitable that the change of guard will relax its vigilance, the original defenders are not observing outside the city, and the new guards do not care about the observation becomes, and no one has noticed that ten black shadows are flying towards the city gate.

The moon was slanting to the west, stretching the shadows of the walls long and dark. Clean

By the time the newly replaced defenders took up the main point and were staring outside the city, the ten black shadows had already rushed into the reflection of the city wall, and swooped forward, lying still.

After waiting for a while, the black shadow saw that it was not exposed, and began to crawl forward.

The leader is none other than Luo Wu.

After Qin Huaidao analyzed An Yuanshou's character, combined with the intelligence of all parties, he judged that the other party would defend Qizhou to the death, and did a lot of targeted defenses, and it was almost impossible to imitate the shelling and decapitation of Yuanzhou and Longzhou, so he formulated a night attack plan.

The city of Qizhou is tall, strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and a strong attack will only increase casualties, but as far as Qin Huaidao is concerned, as long as the city gate is blown open, plus the night attack, Qizhou is not difficult to take.

Attacking the city, the hardest thing is to fight into the city.

Since ancient times, all use ladders to climb tools, or crash open the city gate, this process is very tragic, there will be countless casualties, but the Hanzhou army has explosives packs, dimensionality reduction strikes, easy as a hand. Clean

Luo Wu watched vigilantly as he crawled, not fast so as not to make a noise, and the others also climbed carefully.

Covered by the reflection of the city wall, it was pitch black, and everyone crawled smoothly.

Not long after, everyone came to the city gate, Luo Wu supported his hands hard, his body bounced up, and ran into the city gate hole, the city gate hole is about a foot deep is the city gate, and the others also rushed in, hiding in the city gate hole, and the people on the city wall couldn't see it at all.

"Signal!"

Luo Wu commanded in a low voice, removing the explosives bag he was carrying.

Soon, one person took out a small torch and lit it, and circled it three times.

People are in the city gate hole, and the light of the torches is not large, so the people on the city wall can't see it, but there is an observation post in ambush a hundred meters in front of the city gate, and the torches can be clearly seen shaking. Clean

Seeing the signal coming out, Luo Wu lowered his voice and urged: "Quick, pile up the explosives packs together." ”

When he came, one person was carrying an explosive bag, and everyone stacked the explosive bag together, and then connected the fuse together, Luo Wu took the torch, and was not in a hurry to ignite it, but stared at the front with wide eyes.

Not long after, under the gray moonlight ahead, a bright light rotated three times - this was the signal for attack!

"Quick, get out of the way, get ready to fight." Luo Wu shouted excitedly.

"Understood!"

Everyone responded, quickly exiting the city gate and dodging to both sides.

As soon as Luo Wu thought that this bombing would take Qizhou and leave a name for the ages, he was so excited that his hands were shaking, watching the fuse burning, sneering and smoking, which was particularly dazzling in the dark city gate hole, don't laugh, quickly dropped the torch and withdrew, flashed to the side and hid. Clean

"Brothers, prepare!"

As he spoke, Luo Wu pulled out his sword, covered his ears, and opened his mouth wide.

Others followed suit.

"Boom!"

Soon, a huge explosion sounded, like thunder, especially abrupt in the quiet night.

The walls were blown and shaken, and the defenders on them were unstable, and many people fell.

A huge ball of fire rushed out from the city gates, and the orange-red light dispersed the night, which was particularly enchanting, like a volcanic crater erupting, and the scorching heat and shock wave made people chill. Clean

Countless dirt was blown out and splashed all over the sky.

Fortunately, Luo Wu and the others had experience, and they were some distance from the city gate, and they grew their mouths and covered their ears, so they were not deafened by the terrifying explosion and recovered quickly.

"Up!"

Luo Wu roared excitedly, rushed to the city gate hole, and saw that the heavy city gate was blown out and smashed to the ground in front of him, already in tatters, he was overjoyed, and roared: "Brothers! When the time has come to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, it is necessary to defend the city gates, delay time, and cover the army. ”

"Understood!" Everyone answered the road one after another and rushed up.

The city wall was about two feet thick, and everyone rushed up to see a team rushing over to check the situation, and flew up like a deadly god of death from hell, swinging their swords and slashing hard.

I saw the light of the knife flickering and the blood splattering. Clean

This team was caught off guard, and in a blink of an eye, most of them fell, and the rest panicked, turned around and ran, and were rushed up by Luo Wu and others, all of whom were killed.

Luo Wu's excited eyes lit up, and he shouted in a low voice: "Niu Laosan, pick up the enemy's bow and arrow, take charge of covering, and the others work in groups of three, stand in a triangle, and fight to the death!" ”

"Fight to the death!"

The crowd responded with a bang, without fear.
