451. Attack on Simon
There was still about half an hour before sunrise, and it was at the height of the night.
At this time, ordinary people are sleeping soundly, and the whole city is as calm as water.
It's just that under this water, there is a ferocious crocodile lurking, waiting for an opportunity to move.
In an alley not far from the West City Gate, there was a faint smell of blood.
If you look closely for the source, you will find that it has escaped from the houses on both sides of the alley.
Not just one room, but all the houses.
Just an hour ago, there were more than 60 people living in more than a dozen households.
But now, all the residents have been quietly sent to the underworld, regardless of gender, old and young.
And hiding in these dwellings are more than 200 fierce and evil people.
In a house near the entrance of the alley, Pu Chongmo leaned against the door and closed his eyes to recuperate.
He didn't care about blood, but he couldn't stand the shabby and ugly, so he hated all the items in the house.
Being able to stand by the door was already the most he could endure.
Traditionally, there are patrols passing by nearby during this time of year, so you can't do it yet.
While waiting, Pu Chongmo's thoughts were full of thoughts.
Every time he thought of the evolution of the situation in the city, he had a magical feeling.
Just half a month ago, the city was still peaceful, and the whole people celebrated Shiva Day, and they were happy.
In the blink of an eye, the storm changed and the turmoil continued.
The ruling class was completely divided into three hostile parties, using a brutal civil war to gain power.
The capital was devastated, nearly half of it was in ruins, and it was like the end of the world.
More than 100,000 soldiers and civilians have lost their lives, and countless others have been displaced.
Perhaps few people will know that it is only a scholar ....... who stirs and controls all this
And Pu Chongmo finally believed that there was really one person in this world who could mess with the world.
Therefore, he was amazed by Bi Wen like a god, and he admired and admired him more and more.
Pu Chongmo also felt more and more that with Bi Wen's help, it was not completely impossible to finally kill King Yan to avenge his revenge.
In the night of the previous riot, he couldn't kill Pu Shiwen with his own hands, which made him feel very regretful, but he didn't blame Bi Wen in the slightest.
Bi Wen ordered him to lurk in the city with peace of mind, and he waited honestly.
Now he had asked him to storm the city gates and let the army in, and he didn't ask why he did it.
However, he vaguely guessed that with Bi Wen's methods, he must have solved the king of Champa and replaced him with a puppet.
So now, it is necessary to let Bao Bao Bald Flower and Shi Lihe Pear fight to lose both and exhaust the last trace of strength.
As long as the city gate is opened, the two sides are entangled, Bao Bao Bald can't hide if he wants to, Shi Lihe Li can't retreat if he wants to, and finally wait for the puppet manipulated by Bi Wen to harvest and take over.
In this way, it really achieved the result that Bi Wen wanted all three to lose.
And the Champa magnates are almost gone, and nothing can stop Bi Wen from completely controlling the country.
Alas... A person like Bi Wen was probably born at the wrong time, otherwise he should have the power to guide the world, and it is too aggrieved to be in such a small country.
Hehe, there are talents in the Song Dynasty who don't know how to reuse, and they deserve the sunset!
When Pu Chongmo sighed, the person sent out to investigate returned.
"Childe, the city patrol team has gone far, and our dark stake has also delivered the news, everything is going well."
Hearing this, Pu Chongmo opened his eyes and revealed a cold and fierce light, "Inform the brothers, hoist the sails."
After a while, more than 200 people poured out of the houses.
These people are all dressed in black and pants, and the *** place is also smeared with pot ash, and they are all barefoot, like a group of.
They tacitly divided into teams and cautiously touched the city gate.
The city gate is the weak point of the city's defense, and it has always been the center of attack of the besieging party.
Capture and control the city gate, it will be convenient for more follow-up soldiers and horses to pour into the city.
However, the defenders of the city will not block the city gate in order to eliminate this weakness unless it is absolutely necessary
Stop up.
Because defending the city is not just shrinking in the city and being beaten passively, when the time is right, attacking out of the city is also a tactical means.
So at least one gate will be kept that can be used as a counterattack channel.
Even if Bao Bao Bald was not ready to attack, it had to be used to escape just in case, and the release army only attacked the south anyway.
However, the defenders also did a lot of things about the city gates. new
First of all, the city gate was repaired to strengthen its strength, and then the gate was poured with water and mud every day to prevent fire.
In addition, a hardwood fence was added on the inside of the gate, and many horses were placed as obstacles.
If it is a big city in the Central Plains like Lin'an, in addition to the urn city, there will also be a thousand jin gate, iron fence and the like.
This can be costly, but ironically, the strongest fortifications are often useless.
For example, in the original historical Lin'an City, the soldiers surrendered to the city......
It's just that for Pu Chongmo at the moment, it is still very difficult to win the door.
The first thing to solve was the barracks on the inside of the city gate, which contained more than 500 defenders.
At this moment, the dark pile has cleared the sentry post and opened the gate of the camp. o
Pu Chongmo pulled out his scimitar and swung it, and a group of black shadows immediately rushed into the camp.
Immediately, the dull sound of the blade entering the flesh resounded in many of the tents.
While everything is done quietly, it is best to kill all the defenders in their sleep.
It's a pity that Pu Chongmo's subordinates are not good at doing this kind of too delicate work.
Only a small half was killed, and some of the defenders were alarmed.
"Someone steals the camp!!"
This shout shattered the silence and woke up more defenders.
When Pu Chongmo saw it, there was no need to cover it up, and shouted, "Let go of your hands and feet to kill, it's all sharp!"
He took the lead with his knife in his hand, rushed into the depths of the barracks, cut down several defenders who had just woken up and ran out of the tent, and shouted loudly.
"The gates of the city have been opened, tens of thousands of troops are about to enter the city, and the general trend of protecting the bald flowers is gone! Those who know the times will not die on the ground, otherwise there will be no forgiveness!"
Immediately, some of his subordinates learned to shout, which made many soldiers who were still blindfolded and confused, and most of them chose to lie down in place in order to survive.
Even the defenders, who still had the will to resist, were unable to form an effective resistance in a hurry, and were killed in vain.
At this time, the city also saw the sound of killing.
Because there were 1,000 pirates who had been arranged to assist in the defense at the West Gate, one of them had been bought off in advance.
After hearing the battle in the barracks under the city, he immediately began to move and kill the original friendly army.
As a result, the defenders of the city fell into great confusion in the inseparability between friend and foe, and they did not care about supporting the city at all.
Pu Chongmo's side also quickly cut through the mess and cleaned up the defenders who dared to hold weapons in their hands.
He drove the remaining 100 or so defenders to move away the horses, break the wooden fences, and open the gates.
With a hand, Pu Chongmo's subordinates set the camp on fire again.
The fire above and below the west gate was in the sky, and it was extremely dazzling under the dark night sky.
The fierce shouts and screams also pierced the night and spread to the inside and outside of the city.
The other barracks near the West Gate also woke up, and under the manic urging of the general, the soldiers hurriedly equipped their weapons and armor and prepared to rescue the West Gate.
Before dawn came, a bloody battle began the day in advance......
