Chapter 647: Blowing Open the City Gate

The night was dark.

The whole sky seems to be shrouded by a huge curtain, the sky is covered with dark clouds, and there is no starlight and moonlight to be seen, giving people a particularly depressed and low feeling, the cold wind whistling between the mountains and forests, it is even more cold, even the beasts in the forest are shrunk to their nests, dare not show up.

At this time, the army of the southern camp of the Liaodong Army was also standing steadily, looking at the dim night, this black ocean, calm and terrible, without the slightest wave, not even the slightest movement, everyone was ready to meet the last moment of Gongcheng.

The last two hours are coming soon.

And at the front of this team, Zhao Yuzhuo and the others had also gathered together early, wearing armor and holding their hands on the hilt of the sword, giving people an extremely low and cold feeling, and their eyes were also staring closely at the distance, the direction of Xiancheng, and their eyes were extremely solemn.

Fluttering!

Under this quiet, there was a sudden and obvious sound in the night in the distance, a white dove flew from this distance, and then landed a little tired on a general in front of Zhao Yuzhuo, that general was the commander of Lijinglou.

He quickly removed the letterhead on the white pigeon, and then opened it, and the eyes of Zhao Yuzhuo and the others also came to him with strong expectations, with a nervous face, this should be the news sent by the few Lijinglou spies in Xiancheng, they want to know, what is going on.

"General Zhao, you can move. ”

The young chief of Lijinglou came to Zhao Yuzhuo with a solemn face, quickly sent the things in his hand over, and hurriedly said,

"The spies of Lijinglou in the city will assist us as much as possible to blow up the city gate, because of the small number of people, they cannot guarantee that the city gate will be completely blown apart, but they will definitely be able to cause the greatest damage to the city gate, and when the time comes, it will be convenient for us to attack the city gate!"

"Very good, thank you!"

Zhao Yuzhuo glanced at the letterhead, and there was a trace of coldness on his face, and he also saw from the letterhead what the spies of Lijinglou in the city were about to do, that is, to use his life to open the city gate for the Liaodong Army.

It would be much easier for them to storm the gates.

"The order goes down, all the soldiers are ready, mounted, and put into a state of readiness, ready to go out at any time. ”

Zhao Yuzhuo turned around suddenly, with a thick solemnity on his face, and a little cold, and roared angrily.

There is also endless coldness and calmness in that voice, which people dare not underestimate.

"Yes!"

When the surrounding generals heard this, the expressions on their faces also became extremely cold, and everyone hugged their fists one after another, and then turned around and galloped towards the military array they were responsible for, and with the final order issued, all the soldiers were successively turned on the back of the war horses.

People held the knives and guns in their hands, and then they all turned their eyes to the Xiancheng in the distance, and the coldness and forest in the sight were even more magnificent, this battle of beheading against Goguryeo and Xiancheng was finally about to begin, and they were ready.

The strong momentum that emanated from it also made this world a little more cold and depressing.

......

At the same time, in this fresh city.

The dark night was still extremely oppressive, the cold wind whistled through the empty streets, making a whining sound, except for those who passed by by accidentally, there was no figure at all, and the whole Xiancheng was shrouded in an extraordinarily quiet and dead silence, only the occasional dog barking, resounding in the night.

Three figures, silently appeared on the road leading to the west gate, they cautiously swept around, the look on their faces was also very solemn, one of them was relatively fast, galloping along the road quickly, and then found that there was no one in front of him for the time being, so he waved the fire fold in his hand to the two companions behind.

"Let's go!"

The two looked at each other, and they both turned into a relatively hidden alley, and soon, a carriage was pulled out of it, on which were loaded with several huge wooden barrels, and tied together with ropes, and below, there was a lead leaking out, which was shocking.

This is the explosives they prepared, a total of five wooden barrels, all of which are the finest gunpowder, which was brought in by the people of Lijinglou at a great cost, and originally had some other uses, but now, they have to be used on this bombing city gate, and the three of them also knew that they would die, and their faces were resolute.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Under the leadership of the pathfinder in front, the carriage pulling the explosives moved quickly, the wheels crushed on the bluestone road, making a crisp sound, which seemed so clear and low in this night, and there was a kind of cold escape that could not be concealed, which made people feel nervous.

"Stop!"

In this way, the fire in front of them suddenly shook, and the two people driving the carriage looked nervous, hurriedly tightened their horses, and quickly moved the carriage to the street not far away, and after waiting inside for some time, they also saw a group of patrolling officials, slowly driving through the street.

However, they were not found.

Whoa!

Soon, the officials disappeared in the distance, they continued to pull the carriage out, and drove towards the city gate, now in Xiancheng, the strength of the town guard has been very empty, the entire Goguryeo army, basically to the northwest army, so, this night patrol people, in fact, there are very few.

The three of them drove the carriage and soon came to the vicinity of the west gate, and then chose a relatively hidden place and regrouped together, their faces were a little solemn and gloomy.

"The guards of the West City Gate, although there are not many, but it is definitely not something that the three of us can solve, and they still have archers guarding in front, if we break through, it is likely that they will all be killed before they rush to the city gate, and someone must attract their ideas first!"

One of the spies said in a deep voice,

"I'm better than all of you, I'll leave this matter to me, and when those city guards find me and come to track me, you will take the carriage as fast as possible, and when you reach the city gate, you will directly detonate the explosives and break open the city gate!"

"Don't worry!"

When the remaining two middle-aged men heard this, their faces showed a thick determination, and they arched their hands at each other.

"Here, we will definitely have no way to live, it is my honor to be able to work with the two of you, and we will be brothers again in the next life. ”

One of them arched his hand, slapped his broad palm on the shoulders of the two, and said solemnly with a thick coldness and a deep voice in his voice.

"May in the next life, we be brothers again. ”

"No regrets in this life!"

"I hope that the Liaodong Army will break through Xiancheng and raise the national prestige of our Great Wei Dynasty!"

The three of them put their arms around each other's shoulders and whispered, the look on their faces was solemn and resolute, not the slightest fear could be seen, but there was an indescribable expectation, even a burning color.

"I'm going!"

After a moment of silence, the man with the best light skills suddenly stood up, and then resolutely stepped out of the carriage, he took a deep breath, and walked directly in the direction of the west city gate, walking firmly, walking all the way, gradually pulling out the long knife at his waist, and the coldness in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Who?"

"Stop!"

And his appearance also quickly attracted the attention of those soldiers defending the city, they shouted, and at the same time took out the weapons in their hands one after another, approaching in the direction of the spy, and the archers on both sides also raised their bows and arrows one after another, aiming at him.

"Kill!"

The spy of Lijinglou didn't say a word, just walked directly in the direction of these city guards, and when he was about to get closer, he shouted violently, and at the same time, he also rushed towards the other party, his light skills were very good, and he quickly rushed to a general, the sword flashed, and he slashed at the other party's front door.

"Catch him!"

This general can guard the city gate, and he also has good martial arts, he shouted loudly, blocked the general's knife with a scimitar, and then shouted angrily, and the rest of the city guards rushed over one after another, and began to surround this person.

"Ah......h

Lijinglou's spy eyes were resolute, taking advantage of the light martial arts, roaring towards everyone, and in the blink of an eye, he had already killed four or five soldiers defending the city, but his body was also slashed twice, the skin and flesh were rolled up, and the blood was dripping.

His eyes flickered, and he turned and ran off into the distance, doing his best without leaving any strength.

"Catch him!"

"Catch him!"

The general who was guarding the city was also injured in the arm by this spy of Lijinglou, his face was full of anger, and he shouted angrily, and he led dozens of soldiers to track down the spies of Lijinglou.

"It's good to come!"

"Haha......"

The corner of Lijinglou's scout glanced at the people who were chasing and killing, and his face showed a strong sense of pride, and a little bit of joy, and at the same time he accelerated his pace.

The men were getting farther and farther away from the city gates.

"Kill!"

And when the distance was completely about the same, the spy of Lijinglou suddenly stopped, and then turned around, and fought with these guys desperately, the knife flashed, and the heads of two people were cut off at the moment, and the blood splashed, shocking.

Burst!

However, he also consumed a lot because he ran with all his might, and he was also cut on the back by one person, dripping with blood, and at the same time, he was completely surrounded by these people in the middle, and there was no way out.

"Grab it!"

"Catch it alive. ”

The general guarding the city stared at this Lijinglou spy deadly, and his face showed a thick coldness, as well as Sen Ran.

"You want to catch me, you are dreaming!"

The Lijinglou spies were desperate at all, and directly fought against the people again, he was completely trying to attract people's attention, desperate to kill, and the soldiers of the harmonious Goguryeo were also stimulated, and they began to become more ferocious.

Burst!

After a moment of stalemate, the spy of Lijinglou was stabbed in the chest, and then forced back and retreated to the corner, and then several soldiers came over and held him down in an instant.

"Bastard!"

"Who the hell are you?"

"What are you doing here alone?"

The middle-aged general came to the spy of Lijinglou with a knife wound and gloomy eyes, and roared angrily.

Herod!

And at the moment when his words fell, on the straight road connecting the city gate in the distance, there was suddenly a sound of the roar of war horses, and then, there was a carriage, galloping out, galloping towards the direction of the city gate, and the two Lijinglou spies on the carriage also lit torches at the same time.

"Haha......"

"Long live the Great Wei Dynasty!"

"Long live Dongchang!"

"I'm fighting with you!"

While the soldiers defending the city were a little stunned and panicked, the trapped spy let out a loud shout, desperately grabbed the knife that was poking in his chest with both hands, and then frantically pulled it out and slashed at the general's head!

"You ......"

The general was still in shock, and he didn't have time to react, but he was slashed on the neck, blood splashed, he felt his vitality pass quickly, and his face became extremely frightened, and some of the rest of the soldiers were even more stunned!

Herod!

And at this moment when they were stunned, the carriage loaded with a lot of gunpowder had also arrived in front of the city gate, and the archers, as well as the few remaining warriors, were also stiff, and did not react for a while, did not shoot arrows, and did not move to stop them.

So the carriage stopped under the gate, and with a snort, as the chauffeur tightened the reins of the horse, the horse turned its head violently, and slammed the cart against the gate.

Whoa!

A wooden barrel filled with gunpowder rolled down due to the impact, but this did not affect the overall situation, and the Lijinglou spy in the carriage did not even hesitate at all, and directly ignited the fuse on the barrel with the fire fold that had been prepared a long time ago.

Whew!

Whew!

A dazzling flash of fire rose into the sky, and a strong and pungent smell of gunpowder permeated the air.

"They're going to blow up the gates!"

"That's explosives, run......"

At this moment, these Goguryeo warriors not only did not come to stop them, but because they were afraid of death, they fled into the distance one after another, which seemed a little ridiculous.

"Haha!"

"You bunch of shit!"

"The soldiers and horses of my Great Wei Dynasty are about to break through Xiancheng and destroy you!"

"Long live the Great Wei Dynasty!"

"Long live Dongchang!"

"Long live the Liaodong Army!"

The two spies of Lijinglou looked at this scene, their faces showed a thick disdain, and they were hideous, they roared loudly, and they picked up the wooden barrel and stuck it to the dark and closed city gate.

Bang!

The fire quickly burned to the end, and then with a deafening roar, the powder keg exploded completely.

The gates shook violently, as if even the earth shook slightly.

Bang!

Bang!

Immediately afterwards, the remaining few powder kegs also exploded one after another!

Endless firelight, waves of air rushing to the sky, swept out in all directions, and the heavens and the earth were magnificent.

And the West City Gate, too, swayed and collapsed in the midst of such an explosion......
