Chapter 737: Night Attack
She also poured it a glass of wine.
Before the peregrine falcon stretched its neck, He Lingchuan removed the wine glass: "It's on a mission, and it can't drink."
The peregrine falcon rolled its eyes.
He Lingchuan grabbed the roasted chestnuts, and he was not afraid of being hot, peeled them off and handed them to Sun Fuling: "It's been ten days since I arrived in Renyuheng City, and during this period, the other side has not been disturbed, which is really a face."
The peregrine falcon poured cold water on him: "Maybe people don't know."
"The bulletin boards that are so big all over Yuheng City are posted with the arrival of this commander! Even if the civilians don't look at it, don't the spies look at it?"
He Lingchuan asked Sun Ling, "Master, you are familiar with astronomy and geography, can you help me take a look?"
He pointed to the sky, "What's the weather like?"
Sun Fuling is the proud disciple of Xu Shichu, the dean of the Shulu Academy, and it is not a problem to look at the celestial phenomena in a short time.
She looked at it twice and said, "Don't look at the stars hanging high tonight, seven days...... No, there will be a blizzard and a strong wind in five days."
He Lingchuan muttered, "Within five days?"
……
Time flies, and four days have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past four days, the day was cloudless, and the moon and stars were sparse at night, and there was no abnormality.
He Lingchuan was still as busy as a spinning top, but he passed by the suburbs outside the city and happened to bump into the children of Yuheng Academy coming out to fly kites.
Colorful kites floated in the clear blue sky, of all models and shapes.
This also includes his handy graffiti.
Sun Fuling actually sent the suffocating kite out, and I don't know which bear child made her cry.
Tsk, Sun Fuzi's bad taste.
The construction of this Yuheng City is still in full swing, and it will not stop for a moment.
On the evening of the fifth day, a strong wind suddenly blew at the border. The wind can carry the emaciated girl around.
Before everyone could collect their things, the snow began to fall.
The heavens and the earth were white, and nothing could be seen.
Doors and windows were closed tightly, and even the watchtowers on the banks of the Yin River had to lower their curtains of wind and snow. Otherwise, the low temperature combined with the blizzard could freeze the people on the tower into a large ice lump in two quarters of an hour.
The snowstorm lasted until the second half of the night, when it gradually became lighter.
There was no other pastime on snowy nights, and most of the residents inside and outside the city had to go to bed early with the sound of the wind.
At the end of the hour, the soldiers guarding the river forest were leaning against the table and quietly napping, when they suddenly heard a rustling sound.
On a snowy day, the sound of the wind passing through the trees was very common, and he didn't feel abnormal for a moment.
But after a dozen breaths, the soldier suddenly opened his eyes:
No, the doors and windows are closed, where is the wind blowing the sound of leaves!
He subconsciously looked at the table, but found that the four branches of the old elm tree demon were all swaying, and there was no wind to automate.
The superiors explained that which branch moved, it means that there is an enemy approaching in which direction of the river forest.
But now that all four branches are moving, it will be explained, and it will be explained—
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
He rushed out of the ashram and let out a loud roar as the bell rang.
On snowy nights, only the sound of bells can pierce the wind.
The barracks in the rear were lit up at once, and countless people ran back and forth.
Just a few dozen breaths later, waves of enemies suddenly appeared in the woods by the river, attacking this military camp.
They crossed the river by the wind and snow, and came quietly, but in fact there were more than 2,000 people!
You must know that in the past, Jin Han drove the "homeless" to come and harass the border, often a team of a dozen or dozens of people, and after entering, they would disperse and cause chaos.
Gathering more than 2,000 people like this, the big lama attacked head-on, and it was the first time that Yuheng City belonged to Panlong City!
There were less than 200 people in the barracks, which was enough in normal times, but at this moment, in the face of a sneak attack by an enemy ten times his size, he panicked.
They didn't resist for long, and they retreated before they were surrounded by the enemy, which can be called a loss of helmets
abandoned the armor, and did not even send out the warning signal.
This barracks was ended, which was equivalent to the eyes of Yuheng City being abolished.
The enemy forces divided into small forces to pursue them, while the main force continued westward.
Villages, which were usually regarded as fat sheep, now pass by without even looking at them.
After the assault on the barracks, the team lit torches to light the way, and they had only one goal:
Yuheng City.
It's not a random raid, it's not a simple raid.
Even if someone in the barracks shot arrows into the sky, the camp was only fifteen miles away from Yuheng City. The enemy army attacked at full speed, and the garrison of Yuheng City was in a hurry, waiting for the enemy to kill, how much preparation could they make?
Therefore, the key to this blitzkrieg attack of the Jinhan team is only one word:
Fast!
They even split their troops into three ways to avoid possible traps and blockages on the way.
Less than two quarters of an hour after the attack on the barracks, they had already marched to the city, encountering few decent obstacles along the way.
This gave them even more confidence.
After a few months of expansion, the city gate has been taller and thicker than the original, and more than a dozen ordnance has been replaced.
But as long as you get to the city as soon as possible, none of these remote things will work.
There is also a moat in front of the city gate, not as exaggerated as in front of Panlong City, the width is more than four zhang (more than thirteen meters), the water level is very low in winter, and the difference between the top and bottom is two zhang (more than six meters).
At this time, of course, the drawbridge of the moat was retracted.
The thieves had to cross the moat and enter the real siege phase.
Compared with their fierce horses, in Yuheng City at this time, every household was still closed to resist the wind and snow, and there was not even a single figure on the street. Only two of the guards at the gate were left to shrank in the doorway and shiver, and the others all retreated back to the barracks on the side, not daring to stand in the snow and carry it.
Two people suddenly appeared at the end of the street, touched the edge of the city gate under the cover of the building, and suddenly moved on the guards!
The whining north wind muffled the calls of the two guards.
Four or five more men burst out of the corner and pushed the hinges that controlled the gates!
The gate of Yuheng City is different from Panlong City, it is the city gate when it is erected, and it becomes a suspension bridge over the river when it is put down. The lifting of the drawbridge is controlled by the hinge plate next to the gate of the city.
Therefore, crossing the moat and breaching the gates is the same thing for the thief army.
Fortified cities are often best attacked from within, and they know a lot about it, and now the main focus is on a combination of inside and outside.
And the opening of the barracks of the city gate guard was on the wall, and the thieves inside threw a small piece of sticky thing at the mouth of the wall ladder, which grew when it saw the wind, and it turned into a monster nearly one zhang high and three feet thick in just three or five breaths, blocking the entrance of the wall ladder tightly!
This thing is not gold, not jade, not copper and iron, and it is soft and smooth like fat to the touch, but it is very flexible when it really hits, and ordinary knives and axes can't pierce it.
With this thing blocking the door, the city gate guards couldn't get down, so they had to lie on the wall and shoot arrows.
The thieves put their shields on their heads, and kept pushing the hinges under their feet.
