"It's just a batch of grain, it's not a big deal, the main forces will clean them up. The important thing www.biquge.info is that the opponent's troops have been transferred away by 3,000, and our resistance to attacking the city is much smaller. Don't make any extraneous troubles, let them go tonight, and let's act according to the predetermined plan. Xiao Jinchen waved his hand and quickly disappeared into the wild grass with a few captains.
The Chagatai soldiers ate roast mutton by the campfire, talking happily with each other, not knowing that they had already circled the Ghost Gate.
Without a sneak attack on the Chagatai people's grain transport team, Xiao Jinchen took his cavalry wing and approached the outskirts of Mustang City.
Xiao Cheng stayed in Mustang City for two days, Saihan didn't let him go back, and he was happy to play stupid. Xiao Cheng has been highly nervous in the past two days, for fear of revealing any flaws, and Saihan seems to have forgotten about him as a person, and has never summoned or sent anyone to observe him. After sending the grain away, the garrison of Mustang City seemed to be much more relaxed. It was far from the front line, and the task of transporting grain had been completed, so they naturally relaxed their vigilance.
Xiao Cheng walked around the various military camps, carefully observing the distribution of troops and the terrain of the entire Wild Horse City, and at the same time eating meat and drinking wine with those soldiers, and soon made a lot of acquaintances, in just two days, Xiao Cheng had already mingled with those low-level soldiers, and then the opportunity to talk to these people, he also figured out the defense of the city wall and the time of changing posts.
On the third night, Xiao Cheng went to bed very early, and by midnight the entire Mustang City had fallen into darkness. Since there was no lighting, after dark, apart from eating and drinking by the campfire, the Chagatai soldiers had only one way to sleep. By midnight, the campfires had been extinguished, and the soldiers had fallen asleep, and even the sentries had snoozed in the leeward corners.
Xiao Cheng, who had been in the tent with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and saw that several Chagatai soldiers in the same room were already snoring, he secretly put on his clothes, and quietly got out of bed and walked out. Advancing in the dark on the street where he couldn't see his fingers, Xiao Cheng quickly came to the city gate with his memory.
Xiao Cheng walked into the city gate, and the sound of the soles of his shoes rubbing against the earth and stones alarmed the two sentries who were sleeping against the gate. "Who?" the awakened sentry stood up and shouted in the direction the voice came from. Xiao Cheng lit a torch prepared in advance, and smiled at the two sentries: "It's me, I can't sleep at night and come out to go around, but I didn't expect to run here in the dark." You shouted at me and remembered that I was carrying a torch, haha, this brain is really forgetful. ”
The two sentries were familiar with Xiao Cheng, and one of the sentries smiled: "It's strange that you still run around on such a dark day, so you don't get lost." It's not a bad thing that you didn't light a torch, I'm afraid you'll be caught as a spy as soon as you light a fire in the street. ”
"Really, I'd better put out the torches as quickly as possible, lest anyone come and catch me." He said as he placed the torch on the ground, as if to trample it out with his foot. Xiao Cheng's movements naturally attracted the two sentinels who came over, and when they unconsciously focused their attention on the torches, Xiao Cheng suddenly moved. Relying on the strength of the third-rank martial artist, Xiao Cheng's figure flashed to the two of them, and a pair of big hands stuck on the necks of the two sentinels almost at the same time.
A third-rank martial artist deliberately sneaked up on two soldiers who had just entered the samurai level, and the result was naturally not suspenseful. Before the two sentinels could let out a scream, their throats were crushed.
"Two brothers, I'm really sorry, we are each our own master, and there is no way to do it. Xiao Cheng said as he put the bodies of the two sentries in the corner, and Yun Li removed the deadbolt.
Trying his best to open the two heavy gates, Xiao Cheng raised the torch and drew two circles into the empty night, and after a while, he heard the sound of Suosuo's footsteps from far and near, and soon approached the city gate.
"Who's out there? When there were more people, the louder the sound became, and Xiao Jinchen and the others were finally discovered by the sentinels at the head of the city.
"Reinforcements from the imperial capital are here. One of the captains agreed, but the iron-tired bow in his hand was an arrow and shot at the place where the sound came.
Ah, there was a scream, and the sentinel who was asking was shot through by a sharp arrow, but the captain was shooting arrows in the dark after all, so he could only follow the sound to shoot the feather arrows in the general direction, but the arrow did not hit the vital point, and the sentry lay on the ground and wailed.
"Hurry up, get into town, we're exposed. Xiao Jinchen was anxious, and immediately ordered the soldiers to run towards the city gate.
The screams of the sentry alarmed his companions, and the city was immediately in chaos, and the torches that were used for emergency purposes were lit, and the city was lit up and down.
"Those people from the Dragon Roar Empire have attacked, everyone fight quickly. One of the sentries shouted, and the others responded, pulling out the flying stone ropes around them and heading for the city. This kind of weapon, which was too late to be used on the frontal battlefield, was very handy in the defense of the city, and the stones with great momentum came one after another, so that the cavalry soldiers had to raise their kis shields high above their heads.
Blocking the stones slowed down the cavalry's movement speed, giving the Chagatai enough time to rush towards the gate.
"Close the door, are you crazy?" shouted a group of Chagatai people from afar, they wondered why the man standing in front of the door didn't hurry up and close the door, could he be stupid.
Xiao Cheng stuck the torch on the ground, picked up the sentry's saber and turned around, smiling at the Chagatai people who were getting closer and closer.
"That guy is a spy, kill him and close the door, the enemy army is coming. One of the small leaders finally understood the crux of the problem and immediately shouted. When the other soldiers heard that it was a spies, they rushed forward with spears or sabers.
Xiao Cheng looked up to the sky and laughed: "Let's try it and see if you can kill me." The saber in his hand waved a semicircle, and Xiao Cheng swept all the spears around his body to the side, and then the others followed the knife and rushed directly into the middle of the group of Chagatai soldiers. The saber brought up a string of cold light and cut off the left arm of a Chagatai soldier, and the guy lay on the ground in pain, clutching his severed limb and wailing.
Xiao Cheng relied on his high strength, spread the battle qi all over his body to form the battle qi armor, and at the same time, with the wave of the saber in his hand, one by one the Chagatai soldiers fell to the ground, and soon died. There were only a few dozen sentinels nearby, but after Xiao Cheng's slashing, there were only seven or eight left, and when they saw Xiao Cheng attacking again, they were so frightened that they retreated again and again.
