"Woo~~Woo~~~"

The sound of two long horns came from afar. It was night, and this was the horn blown by the guards of the city before the gate of Tianchi City in the distance closed the city gate, and it actually passed through a distance of several miles and entered the camp of the Great Xia Emperor's court.

On the tower of Tianchi City, a group of soldiers defending the city looked into the distance and talked to each other.

"I don't know what's going on, I always feel weird today, as if something is wrong. A soldier scratched his head.

"Yes, it turns out that you feel this way too! When I was on guard during the day, I vaguely saw a black oppression in the distance, and the shadows were like human figures, I don't know if it was an illusion. ”

"I seem to be aware of something when you say that. Another soldier joined the conversation, and as he spoke, he pointed to the distance below the city: "Look over there, is it different from usual, like something!"

All the soldiers looked around, and the distant horizon seemed to be a little different from the past, but it didn't seem to be any different.

"In this case, let's send two people out of the city to have a look, and at the same time report to the general, so that the brothers who are keeping vigil tonight will be more vigilant. ”

"Okay, do it, it's foolproof. ”

......

As night fell, the black-armored army camp in the Great Xia Imperial Court became lively.

Large forces in the rear arrived one after another and joined up with Ren Yao's 3,000 vanguard battalion. In this expedition, the 100,000 Black Armor Army did not all dispatch, only 30,000 horses were used, but even if there were only 30,000 horses, gathered in the boundless wilderness, they still occupied an area that stretched for miles!

At this moment, not a single torch was lit in the huge camp, and all of them were hidden in the dark night, so that the enemy on the city wall several miles away would not be alerted to the light.

The hooves of all the horses were wrapped with a layer of linen cloth to avoid making too much noise. The horse's mouth is also covered with a rope to avoid the sound of neighing.

No sergeant is allowed to make a loud noise, and if he can't control his mouth, he bites a branch in his mouth to avoid opening his mouth. Even if several generals of the front army and the rear army exchanged news and passed orders, they needed the heralds to run back and forth and whisper the news.

In this way, the soldiers of the Black Armor Army have endured for three hours.

"Young marshal, how long will it take? The brothers are holding back!"

"That's right, young marshal, we'd rather go to the front line and fight to see red, than hold back like this anymore!"

"Except for the scouts who just killed the two Xiliang Kingdom who came to investigate, I haven't seen any other Xiliang soldiers......!

Beside Ren Xiaoyao, several soldiers complained.

The order that "the whole army should be stationed in the same place, and no one should raise a loud noise" was given by Ren Yao, and at first the soldiers understood very well, after all, concealment and suddenness are indeed very important in marching operations. But no one expected that Ren Xiaoyao would hold everyone back for three hours, and still had no intention of canceling the order!

Looking at it like this, is the young marshal planning to let us hold it all night?

This is the idea of quite a few soldiers.

Ren Xiaoyao completely ignored the complaints of the soldiers, and just sat quietly in place, using every minute and every second to practice. However, looking at his indifferent appearance, the soldiers also secretly speculated: Most of the young marshals already had a plan, so they were so calm.

Another half hour passed.

It was almost dawn, the stars were dim, and the moon was quietly disappearing. At this moment, it is the deepest darkness before dawn, the darkest hour of the day!

Many officers and men in the army were dozing off, but they were suddenly woken up by the people next to them one after another, and at the same time they heard a sentence in their ears: "Shhh

"Shhh

......

This sentence, like a virus, spread from mouth to mouth among the soldiers, and spread rapidly, and every soldier who heard it reacted with a spirit: his grandmother's, held it all night, and this moment finally came!

The entire black-armored barracks were filled with high fighting spirit, because the soldiers had waited too hard for this moment! At the same time, they still maintained great concealment—not a single person made a loud noise, not even the horses made a loud noise.

In a few moments, the military order had reached everyone's ears, and Ren Xiaoyao took the lead and rode towards Tianchi City.

A thousand iron horsemen, running in front of the horses, all the horses carried siege equipment - originally, in the siege battle, the cavalry was originally of little use, because the cavalry was better at the impact when charging into battle, and the mobility when moving in battle. But at this moment, due to Ren Yao's flexible arrangement, the noble cavalry on weekdays has become a transport soldier.

The cavalry was followed by two thousand infantrymen, all of whom also spread their legs and ran wildly. The entire vanguard battalion of 3,000 people was fully dispatched and quickly approached Tianchi City!

The first line of defense outside Tianchi City was a moat that was ten meters wide and several meters deep.

When they came to the moat, they didn't need to be ordered by the five hundred cavalry in front of them, unloading their equipment from their horses. After only a few moments, they used these equipment to build eight pontoon bridges, each of which could support the passage of one cavalry! After setting up the pontoon bridges, the five hundred cavalry in front of them got out of the way, allowing the five hundred cavalry behind to pass quickly.

The second line of defense, of course, was the high walls and closed gates.

The surface of the city wall is so smooth that it is impossible to climb with bare hands, and the so-called city gate is actually a huge suspension bridge, 20 meters high and 10 meters wide, made of pure steel, weighing a million catties! The suspension bridge is controlled by complex pulleys and iron cables, and the suspension bridge can be lowered on weekdays, and the bridge will extend directly to the other side of the moat, and at night the suspension bridge will be retracted to become an impassable gate.

The five hundred cavalry behind came to the city wall and took down their siege equipment.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

With a slight collision sound, a series of ladders were erected under the city wall, and the ladders could go up to a height of 20 meters, and they could directly climb to the top of the city wall!

At the same time as the ladder was erected, the follow-up infantry had also arrived at the foot of the city.

The infantrymen climbed the ladder and quickly climbed to the city wall.

At this moment, on the city wall, the Xiliang soldiers who were in charge of guarding the city didn't know that some of them were napping, and some were simply snoring like thunder. They listened to the warnings of the soldiers guarding the city during the day, saying that there might be a situation tonight, so they kept their spirits up all night and watched out carefully. But the whole night passed, and the vague shadow in the distance remained unchanged, and the two soldiers sent out to inquire about the situation disappeared as if they had sunk into the sea...... Seeing that the sky is about to dawn, how can there be any surprises?

But just as they let their guard down, the unexpected really happened......

There were hundreds of soldiers in the first batch of soldiers who landed in the city, each of them was an elite carefully selected by Ren Xiaoyao, and their strength had reached the seventh layer or above in the Ning Xuan Realm, which was considered the superior qualification among ordinary people. The first thing a hundred elites did when they climbed the tower was to silently touch the side of the defenders, take out the daggers that had been prepared, and wipe their throats!

Pity those soldiers who defended the city all night, but at this moment they can only sleep and quietly go to meet death.

On the city walls, the soldiers in charge of guarding were all quietly wiped out without exception. Immediately afterwards, more soldiers climbed the tower, some entered the fortifications below the tower, and continued to slaughter the soldiers who defended the city, while others quickly descended into the city to open the city gate and lower the drawbridge from the inside.

"Not good, enemy attack!"

Finally, a Xiliang soldier shouted loudly before being killed, waking up more Xiliang soldiers. It was only at this moment that the Xiliang soldiers got up in a panic, hurriedly put on their helmets, picked up their weapons, or resisted or fled.

But the Xiliang soldiers found out too late after all.

At this moment, dozens of pioneer battalion black armor soldiers have come to the city gate, they have killed all the soldiers guarding the city gate, and cut the iron rope that ties the drawbridge!

"Boom!"

With a loud sound like a mountain falling, the suspension bridge fell with a bang, and the gate of Tianchi City opened. Similarly, the loud noise woke up all the soldiers in the city.

At this moment, Ren Xiaoyao, who had been directing everything outside the city gate, pulled out the cyan long sword behind his back and pointed it into the sky: "Rush, kill!"

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

Behind Ren Yaoyao, there was a burst of shouts of killing that shook the mountains. Ren Xiaoyao took the lead, crossed the suspension bridge, and quickly rushed into Tianchi City. A large number of cavalry and a large number of infantry also rushed into the city gate.

In the face of the Xiliang soldiers who lost their armor and had an extremely low fighting spirit, the soldiers of the pioneer battalion were merciless and fought bloodily. Every time the long sword in Ren Xiaoyao's hand is chopped, it can take away a human life!

"Ah......h

With a scream, Ren Xiaoyao slashed off the head of a small leader of the Xiliang Army with a sword, and the blood mist of the canopy gushed up, and the round head slipped and spun on the ground! Ren Xiaoyao had no expression on his face, the long sword was withdrawn, and he continued to run to the next target.

The city gates have been breached, and the soldiers defending the city have basically given up their defenses, and they are only determined to evacuate and flee for their lives.

In this case, the Black Armor Army basically did not encounter much resistance, and advanced like a bamboo!

After half an hour of fighting, the battle at the city gate was basically over. According to rough statistics, the casualties of the Ren Yao Pioneer Battalion were only a few dozen, and nearly half of them were minor injuries that could be cured. Hundreds of people in the defenders of Xiliang Kingdom were killed on the spot, and nearly 1,000 people trampled on each other and caused casualties when they fled in a hurry!
