Chapter 425: Desperate
Gu Luo's face was ugly, they were obviously attacked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was only after a rain of arrows that he could determine the direction of the archers, and at this moment the fire flickered in the distance, accompanied by some shouts and footsteps, and it was clear that a large number of soldiers were rushing under the city walls.
"We've been fooled!" Gu Luo gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Everyone with their backs to the city walls, defend in formation, and beware of the cold arrows of the archers!"
Although the warriors under his command were a little panicked, they were already under the city wall at the moment, and these warriors who had lost their way to retreat calmed down. After hearing Gu Luo's order, these guys were very skillfully lined up, with swords and shields in their hands, while confronting those archers, but secretly looking for a weak place and waiting for an opportunity to break through.
Soon, however, as a large number of armed torch-wielding soldiers surrounded him, Guro and his samurai became more and more desperate. Although they are all martial artists with good martial arts, these guys can't help but feel a little uneasy in the face of the predicament in front of them. If there are fewer people, it may be possible to break through, but at the moment, in the city of Sadland, once the attention of the garrison is aroused, the enemy will only come in a steady stream, and it is absolutely impossible to break through in such a situation.
With the arrival of a large number of soldiers, the open space under the city wall was soon surrounded by the garrison, which was mixed with several groups of cavalry, and the general of the army was the same commander of Aroque who accompanied him at the banquet today. Gu Luo and his family were all dressed up with Qiao makeup, and their heads and faces were wrapped in thick cloth towels, which were difficult to recognize from their appearance.
Although they already had an absolute advantage, these Sadran soldiers did not seem to have the intention of rushing up, but consciously set aside an open space, and did not attack, only suppressed with bows and arrows when they wanted to break through to the Guluo. After a few attempts, there were only a few people left around Gu Luo, and his face was also extremely ugly, and he obviously understood the other party's intentions in his heart - it was obvious that these guys wanted to capture him alive!
Gu Luo couldn't help but be shocked and angry when he thought of this, it seemed that these guys were deliberately ambushing, otherwise it would be impossible for so many soldiers to appear in such a short period of time. As for those hidden archers, they have been waiting for them for a long time, the original plan was very compromised, what went wrong?
"Where did the thieves come from, they dared to openly attack the imperial soldiers, intending to steal the county city defenses, could it be that the steppe people had infiltrated the city? Hmph, I advise you to hurry up and arrest them, so as not to increase casualties!" Yarok sat on his horse and looked at Gu Luo and the others with a serious face.
Gu Luo didn't answer Aloke's words, he could already hear the mockery in the tone of the fellow, these guys probably already knew who they were, or they wouldn't have set up an ambush on the city wall. When Gu Luo thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, he suddenly remembered the three subordinates who climbed the wall, these Sadland garrisons are probably also ambushed at the head of the city!
Sure enough, as soon as Arok had said this, he turned his head to the city, and then asked aloud from afar, "What is the situation at the city?"
Soon a few soldiers in the city replied in a loud voice: "Report to Lord Alok, three infiltrators were found in the city, and after our hard work, two were killed and one captured!"
"Well, good, take care of that captive. Lord Viscount has explained, it is best to capture all these people alive, but if there are those who fight hard, don't leave your hands!" Aloke's face was grim, and then he shook his head and looked at Gu Luo and the others, before he said coldly: "Tell me, gentlemen, appearing under the walls of Sadland in the middle of the night is not something that a guest should do, right, Lord Gu Luo?"
Gu Luo didn't speak, and after being silent for a moment, he smiled bitterly, and then untied the face towel on his head fiercely, and then said with an ugly face: "Since you already know our identity, what else is there to say, I'm afraid that Viscount Sadland sent you, right?"
Alok nodded, looked at Gu Luo and the others condescendingly, and said with a solemn expression: "Yes, it was Lord Jose who ordered us to pay attention to your movements, but I didn't expect Lord Gu Luo to be impatient so quickly." Hmph, Lord Joseph has long suspected that the Northwest Army will not be so resigned, so he deliberately saw what you do, but I didn't expect that the dignified commander of the Northwest Army would also do this kind of night raid and murder, but it is a pity that one of my patrols is under my command. ”
"Haha, are you people in Sadland so hypocritical?" Gu Luo smiled coldly, simply gritted his teeth and said: "Even if you catch me today, it's useless, Lord Ronktor has already sent troops to Sadland, even if I fail tonight's night attack, but tomorrow Lord Sardrand will definitely deploy troops under Sadland, and then I would like to know if Lord Sardrand will be as calm as he is now!"
"Then don't bother, Lord Laogulo. Yarok glanced at Gu Luo coldly, and then ordered the soldiers behind him: "Everyone obey the order, narrow the encirclement, and anyone who dares to resist will be killed!"
......
In the second half of the night, Yalok returned to the county guard with his soldiers, and he did not bring too many people into the county guard, but only took a few personal soldiers before entering the county guard through the garrison.
Although it was already the second half of the night, José was already waiting for him in the hall, and there was also Sophia, the staff lady, who was also waiting in the hall. Alok immediately entered the hall and briefly explained what happened tonight to Jose, and then looked at Sophia with some convincing, and couldn't help but whisper: "Although Miss Sophia is young, her mind is really powerful, this Gu Luo is really as ill-intentioned as Miss Sophia guessed, if you hadn't reminded Lord Jose to set up this plan, I'm afraid there would be big trouble for Sadland tonight." ”
Jose didn't have any joy on his face, just casually threw a piece of parchment on the table, shook his head with some concern and said: "The trouble is not small now, the sentry has already found out, just tonight when we set up a banquet, the Northwest Army has been secretly mobilized and attacked in the direction of Sadland." Although the strength of the army is not clear, it is roughly above 20,000 people, and there are even 5,000 cavalry to fight together!
The sentry I sent were all sentinels, so the action was much faster than that of the Northwest Army, and I had already changed horses overnight and came back to report the emergency. When I received the news, the fastest cavalry vanguard of the Northwest Army had reached a few dozen miles from Sadrand. No wonder Gu Luo and these people dare to engage in this kind of night attack trick, it turns out that the Northwest Army must be prepared, damn, Long Keduo is really going to fight such a big battle this time, it seems that he is really going to fight hard!"
