Chapter 104: The City Gate
In less than three days, 20,000 soldiers and horses led by General Chen Jinchao arrived at the county seat of northern Jin. In order to avoid being discovered by Tufan's spies, General Chen was stationed eighteen or nineteen miles away from the county seat.
Chen Jinchao asked an adjutant to pretend to be a businessman, and took his wife and Lan Meier's carriage into the city first, and found an inn to settle down. Then Lan Meier was responsible for finding out the location and guarding of the weapons factory and iron mine, and the adjutant passed the information to the large army outside the city.
General Chen personally led fifty soldiers, disguised as the Tufan army, and escorted four large carriages carrying giant armor into the city, accompanied by Wu Kui, Putong, and Tammy.
Chen Jinchao's plan was that after he first deceived the city gate in the name of transporting the giant armor, he would strive to control the city gate within two hours, and after the 20,000 horses stationed outside the city arrived, he would quickly rush into the city, occupy and control military important places such as weapons factories and iron mines, and form a confrontation with the Tufan army, and then wait for Zhao Jian's troops to arrive, carry out internal and external attacks, and take the city.
After the arrangements were made, General Chen led a convoy of fifty soldiers and horses to set off towards the county seat. After about two hours, they came to the gate of the county seat, and General Chen handed over the customs clearance procedures to the non-commissioned officers guarding the guards for inspection, and at the same time looked around the defense of the city gate.
He found that Jinbei County was worthy of being an important town in the north, and its defense was very tight, with a guard of more than 150 people stationed inside and outside the city gate, and a cavalry patrol of more than 200 people patrolling back and forth near the city gate. And there were more than 300 people on the tower of the city to defend it.
Chen Jinchao thought that in this case, it would be difficult for him to control the city gate by force for two hours with only the dozens of people under his command, and it seemed that the plan he had begun to make had to be changed, and he must not act rashly now.
At this time, the three giants following the team attracted the attention of the soldiers, and everyone gathered around to look up, although they had known that the Tufan army had giant warriors, and they were here to build armor and weapons for these giants day and night, but no one had really seen what the giants looked like.
The cavalry patrols in the border city all came out to watch, and they looked at the giant with surprise and fear. When Tammy saw what a soldier they were, and remembered how they had rounded up their family on the mountain, her blood immediately burst into flames, and she wanted to pounce on them and trample them to death. Seeing this, Wu Kui and Putong hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Tammy to calm him down.
The non-commissioned officer guarding the city gate came up to inquire about Chen Jinchao and said, "You said that you brought a few pieces of armor back to rework, why did you bring three giants here?"
Chen Jinchao had an idea and replied: "Oh, that's right, these three giants are all a little special, one is a little shorter, one is too tall, and the other is a little fatter, and they don't have the right armor for them to wear, so they can't go to the battlefield, so the troops asked us to bring them back to make a suitable armor." ”
"Well, these giants look so imposing, and with such warriors, they can be said to be invincible. The non-commissioned officer looked at the giant and said with some envy.
"Sir, one of the giants has a little leg injury, so they don't have to return to the front line for the time being, wait for them to change into armor and help you guard the city gate, at your disposal, okay?"
"Oh, really, that's great, with them to help defend the city, it's foolproof, and we don't have to work so hard all day. The non-commissioned officer guarding the city was very happy to hear this, "Then please take them to the factory to order armor quickly." ”
The non-commissioned officer immediately sent a soldier to Chen Jinchao and his party as a guide, and led them straight to the weapons factory.
After the group arrived at the armory factory, Pu Tong and Tammy found a suitable armor to change into, and the craftsmen remade a set of suitable armor for Wu Kui. After the three giants put on the iron armor, they immediately transformed into majestic giant warriors.
Chen Jinchao estimated that the two hours were about to come, so he immediately asked ten soldiers to send the three giants to the city gate, and he told Wu Kui to let the three of them wait at the city gate for the large army to attack, and then act at the opportunity, open the gate, and ensure the smooth entry of the troops.
When the three giant warriors covered with golden armor came to the gate of the city, their majestic appearance immediately shocked the officers and soldiers defending the city, and everyone was so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths when they looked at the tall and mighty giant warriors.
The non-commissioned officer who guarded the city arranged for the three of them to stand guard at the gate of the city, saying that the enemy would not dare to come forward when they saw them from afar.
Wu Kui was afraid that the three of them would be standing outside the gate, and no one would be able to open the city gate from the inside, so he said to the non-commissioned officer: "Sir, let me stand guard on the city tower, so that the enemy can see me from a farther distance, and I can see the enemy situation better." ”
When the sergeant heard that he was reasonable, he sent him to stand guard on the top of the tower.
Not long after Wu Kui went up to the city tower to stand guard, he saw a puff of smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and knew that their troops had rushed over. The Tufan soldiers also found out about the situation and immediately raised their vigilance, and the horn of the city immediately sounded to report the emergency military situation.
After hearing the sound of the trumpet, the soldiers outside the city returned to the city, and the non-commissioned officer ordered the soldiers under the city to close the city gate immediately, he wanted to leave the two giant warriors outside the city to see how they could deal with the invading enemy.
Just when the city gate was about to be closed, there was a "bang", and he pushed hard with both hands, and the two huge city gates were violently pushed open, and they hit the inner wall of the city gate hole heavily, and seven or eight soldiers who closed the city gate were slammed on the wall, and the flesh and blood were blurred suddenly.
Immediately afterwards, Tammy entered the city through the hole in the city gate, and before the soldiers defending the city could understand what was happening, Tammy stretched out his two hands, grabbed two soldiers each, and threw them into the group of soldiers in the distance.
At this time, seven or eight soldiers flew down from the city tower, smashed on the ground, raised a cloud of dust, and then fell, it was no longer a whole piece, Wu Kui danced his machete on the city tower, in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen soldiers were cut down or vertically chopped, and the corpses that were divided into two fell from the city wall, and the soldiers under the city were so shocked that they were scattered, and they fled in all directions at the moment.
When Tammy reached out to grab the soldier again, he only caught one soldier, and he seemed reluctant to throw the soldier out, only to see him pull his hands and tear the soldier in two, and the two bloody corpses dragged a long blood trail in the air, and were smashed into the fleeing group of soldiers.
Before he could make a move, the city gate was empty. In a short time, the troops outside the city rushed to the bottom of the city, and rushed through the open gate hole, and went straight to the city.
