"Kill!"

Xiao Zheng coldly gave the order.

Ma Jun at the head of the city also responded immediately, and groups of archers, ignoring the arrow array under Xiao Zhengcheng, shot fiercely at the enemy army who was climbing the ladder.

It's just that the sky is getting darker, and the accuracy of both sides is much worse, and the lethality is weakened. And the Shinno defenders, who were already short of arrows, could only throw stones and splash boiling water to block the enemy troops who were about to climb the city.

As soon as the night fell, Xie Laosan and Xiong Laomao, under the leadership of Ah Si, quietly swam across the Baihe River and arrived at the drainage.

The drain is not very large, only for one person to get into, but a burst of foul smell is pouring from inside, and the water is also very urgent.

"Look at me!"

The old bear cat is very watery and has enough courage, and with a pinch of his nose, he slammed into it. With his deep internal strength, he finally withstood the impact of flowing water, held back that breath, and came out of his head.

This is a closed drainage channel with a relatively large space, and the old cat can stand up straight in it, and the sewage covers his upper body, almost to his neck.

He let the rope he had prepared in advance out of the water. After a while, Xie Laosan pulled the rope and got in, followed by Ah Si and a dozen other brothers.

"Go ahead, turn left, there's a place to get to the ground!"

Ah Si pondered for a moment and identified the path.

"Let's go!"

Xie Laosan replied in a deep voice, and everyone hurriedly and carefully dripped the water and walked forward with Ah Si.

At this time, there is almost no light. Just in case, everyone didn't dare to light the fire, so they could only walk with their heads down.

"It should be here."

After half a pillar of incense, Ah Si's words came over.

"Wait!"

Xie Laosan was attentive, leaning against the inner wall of the drainage canal and listening carefully to the movements above.

"It's okay, you can go up from here, the defense here is weak, and there are not many garrisons. Here, it should be on the left side of a latrine, and there is a road behind the latrine, which can be followed to the city. ”

Ah Si has a very good memory and is very familiar with the way.

"Good!"

Xie Laosan answered secretly.

In a short time, a rock slab was carefully lifted. Under the hazy moonlight, Ah Si was the first to poke his head out.

As he said, there was silence all around, except for the lights flickering on the head of the city not far away, and the sergeants shouting and running, it was really quiet here. This also shows how fierce the offensive of the British army was on the periphery.

After a short time, the group crawled out one by one, twisted the water on their clothes slightly, and quietly sneaked into the dark night.

……

On the streets, there are few pedestrians. Days of fighting made the city deserted at night. Whether it is shops or houses, they all close their doors early, and even if the city head shouts to kill the sky, few dare to come out to see the excitement.

Moreover, in order to replenish his troops, Ma Jun has forcibly recruited many men from people's homes. Among them, as young as thirteen or fourteen years old, and as old as seventy years old, it is estimated that once they go into battle, most of them will be used as shields. Therefore, for a while, the people in this Xinye City were secretly complaining. It's just that they dare to be angry but don't dare to speak.

And because of the onslaught of the British army outside the city tonight, even the soldiers patrolling the streets in the city were gathered at the city gate. In particular, Ximen is heavily armed, ready to rush to the city as a substitute at any time.

People's hearts are panicked, which is a true portrayal of the people of Xinye City at this time.

However, this also gave Xie Laosan and the others the opportunity to sneak into the city easily. As soon as the group entered the city, they divided their troops into two routes. Xie Laosan and Ah Si led people to explore the defense of the east gate and the north gate, while Xiong Laomao was responsible for exploring the west gate and the south gate.

In the dark night, everyone walked through the streets and alleys like ghosts, gradually approaching the target.
