244 Battle for the Capture of the City
Nearly 100 people swaggered in the streets of Huiyang City, and occasionally someone looked sideways, and they would be brutally murdered. As soon as the 100 people crossed a street, more than 100 people joined in, and when they passed through the seven crossings, the stream formed a team of nearly 1,000 people. Hao Hao Tang Tang walked towards the gate of Huiyang City.
This group of people is the people of the Nangong family. Since Ye Jihan and Zhu Xingtong messed up the military camp and retreated, Xuanfeng Crane was greatly furious, and after knowing that it was Ye Jihan who did it, he was even more furious, and wanted to order the siege of the city again, but was stopped by his advisers. After Nangong Ping learned about this, he continuously transported grain and grass, and sent someone to send a message to Xuanfeng He: If you don't want to go back. Xuan Fenghe understood the weight of these four words, and thus also saw how much Nangong Ping hated the Mo family because of his sister's death. So he calmed down, rode a horse to observe Huiyang City from afar, and in the dead of night, quietly sent people to approach and explore the depth of the moat. And discussed a plan with the strategists, dug tunnels to sneak into Huiyang City from the underground, and then led a large army to kill after seizing the city gate. For this reason, Xuanfeng Heqin led 50,000 military horses to camp at the place away from Huiyang City, and built two five-zhang high lookouts in succession, deliberately allowing the sentinels of Huiyang City to find out. In the evening, the excavation of fortifications began at the bottom of the lookout, with 10,000 men dugging, 10,000 carrying earth, and the other 20,000 alternate tasks, while the remaining 10,000 were stationed in place, pretending to be ready for battle.
The moat of Huiyang City is about two zhang deep and four zhang wide, and it is too difficult to dig fortifications to pass through below. However, one of Xuanfeng He's strategists promised that as long as he dug two more zhang deep near the moat and then moved forward, he could quietly enter Huiyang City. Tens of thousands of people only began to dig in the dead of night, and the results were not small during this period of time, and they dug into Huiyang City smoothly, but this tunnel can only allow people to bow over, and the inside is damp and abnormal, and from time to time it is oozing water. After everything stopped, Xuanfeng Crane sent 5,000 elites, but when crossing the tunnel of the moat, there were more than 1,000 people, and the tunnel could not withstand the pressure of the river, so it collapsed and drowned nearly 1,000 people. Seeing that the fortifications that had been working hard for nearly a month were destroyed, Xuanfeng Crane almost killed the strategist who came up with this idea, and only dissipated his anger under the pleas of others, but it was difficult to hide the resentment in his heart. He climbed the lookout and stared in the direction of Huiyang City, looking forward to the fireworks burning on the city gate, and felt quite desperate.
Where thousands of people passed, chickens and dogs were not left, and in the past few days, Fang Xiaonuo had devoted his mind to monitoring Ye Jihan and others, and he had also neglected a lot of guards in the city, so this group of people who were oppressed could be said to be rampant in the city. This group of people, each of them walked steadily and quickly, and was full of strength. These people are very aware of the tasks and missions they are resisting, and for the benefit of the Nangong family, death has become a way to exaggerate their own glory.
The inner gate of Huiyang City is lined with a bolt made of stainless steel, and the left and right corners of the two wide gates are connected to the top of the tower by two thick iron chains. After removing the deadbolt, it is necessary to turn the bracket in the two gatehouses above the castle tower to open the gate. The city gate is facing a wide street, which is the most prosperous and lively place in Huiyang City. On weekdays, even if it's midnight and three watches, there will be people moving around. Due to the war, Fang Xiaonuo imposed a curfew, and pedestrians were not allowed to haunt the inner city gate after dark.
When the thousand-strong team approached the city gate, they began to use the four houses as shelters to quietly approach the city gate, and it was not until they approached the city gate that they were noticed by the city defender soldiers. There were about 500 soldiers defending the city, 300 were under the tower, and 200 were on the tower, and the soldiers under the city were killed in an instant. The soldiers on the tower of the city found that they had been attacked, and while shouting for help, they took the bricks and stones they had been defending the city and smashed them down. In the screams, the soldiers of the Nangong family divided into two groups, one rushed to the city gate to take down the steel bolt, and the other rushed to the city tower to snatch the machine tower that opened the city gate. Although the number of people involved in this battle was small, it was very tragic, and each side did their best. The two sides involved in the fight represent the forces of the two sides, and the life and death of individuals are covered by a certain overall consciousness.
Most people want to fit into a certain group to seek a sense of belonging, and being recognized and accepted as a whole can be infinitely amplified in the subconscious until the individual loses his or her own judgment, at which point the individual will be very eager to accept the guidance or instructions of others. In this case, the individual who is lost in the whole is also prone to deify the leader.
The sound of steel slicing into flesh and bones was muffled, like metal striking on a sandbag. There are two stairways leading to the city tower, which are distributed on the left and right sides of the city gate, and at this moment, the hundreds of people on the city tower have to be guarded in two groups. The stairway can only accommodate three people in a row, and four or five people can stop many people. But the soldiers of the Nangong family attacked too fiercely, regardless of the sword in front of them, they only sacrificed themselves to rush forward, the people in front were killed, and the people behind stepped on the corpses and pounced.
The guards of Huiyang City did not show the slightest timidity in the face of the attack of the tiger and wolf squad, and when the blades of the people at the entrance of the ladder pierced into the enemy's body and could not be pulled out, and the other party launched a fierce attack, the rear would not hesitate to push the people in front of them down. Everything was done to guard the tower and open the gates. The tens of thousands of soldiers stationed along the city wall heard the movement and knew that someone was attacking, so they continued to assemble towards the city gate. In this way, if the people of the Nangong family do not take the city gate as soon as possible, they will be completely annihilated. At that time, Huiyang City will definitely step up its defense, and it will not be attacked by the Nangong family like this.
Outside Huiyang City, Xuanfeng Crane changed his original plan to wait for the beacon fire, and directly led the army to approach the city gate, and the soldiers were building a pontoon bridge on the moat, just waiting for the city gate to open and rush in, killing Huiyang City to the ground. And those soldiers who pinned his hopes on him, whether they could complete the task, Xuan Fenghe couldn't be sure, he was proud of the horse, and the reins were constantly soaked in the sweat of his hands, which was not fear, but worry. Xuanfeng Crane stared intently at the Huiyang City Tower, the sound of fighting on it was clearly audible, the victory and defeat were changing rapidly, and the war was much more interesting than the gambling game.
At the city lord's mansion, Fang Xiaonuo had already heard the report, and hurriedly withdrew the guards and asked everyone to guard the city gate. And he ran into the bamboo garden, and asked Ye Jihan and the four of them to help guard the door, although he knew that no matter how high his martial arts were, he couldn't resist thousands of troops, but there were four masters by his side, and when he was defeated, a few people would not lose their lives.
The soldiers withdrew, Ye Jihan and Dongfang Rui, who were lying on the bed, heard it clearly, and the two looked at each other, and for a while they didn't expect that it was Xuanfeng Crane attacking the city in the middle of the night. From Fang Xiaonuo's urgent plea for the four of them, Ye Jihan knew that there were two groups of people fighting at the gate of the city.
"This is a good opportunity, take advantage of the chaos, and the war between the Nangong family and the Mo family will go with them. Dongfang Rui lay on Ye Yuhan's shoulder, and felt that Xuanfeng Crane's sending people to attack the city was a good thing for a few people.
