Finally it got dark.

Le Tang ordered Captain Liu Mou, led 5,000 elite soldiers, took the zipline, and quietly approached Zhaohua City at night.

Zhaohua City in the night, without any light, is entrenched like this. The tall city gate hole seems to be an open mouth of blood, waiting to devour the five thousand elite soldiers.

By the time the 5,000 men touched the city walls, it was already the moon and the sky.

Liu Mu pulled out the short knife on his waist and tried to pierce it into the crack of the wall, but with a crash, a spark flashed at the tip of the knife, and it broke. Everyone looked at the short knife in Liu Mu's hand silently.

In the past, the tip of a knife was inserted into the crack of the wall, and then the wall was borrowed. This time, I met the first Xiongcheng in Yanbei built by my own craftsmen, and I couldn't do my best.

When Jihou built this Zhaohua City, the blood of the beast was mixed with rice milk lime, and the cracks in the wall were poured tightly, and a layer of molten iron was covered on the outermost part. In addition, hundreds of warlocks joined forces with tens of thousands of white horses to sacrifice their ancestors. The light was lowered and the wall was strengthened a few more points.

Not to mention that this is not a dagger of divine soldiers, even if the so-called ten famous swords of the Qin State are taken over, I am afraid that it will not hurt this city wall in the slightest.

"Lord Liu, what should I do, is it to break through the city gate?" the soldier holding the zipline swallowed and asked.

"The two-foot-thick bronze door, when are you going to chisel?!" If it weren't for the fear of making a noise to alarm the defenders who might exist, Liu Mu would have been eager to give him a slap, he had followed him for so long in vain, he was an idiot!

Another sergeant looked up: "My lord, this wall is more than sixty feet high, and none of us has the ability to throw the zipline up." Why don't you let Lord Le send a master who can do light work to go up and have a look?"

"Now go back, you won't be beheaded when you go back? Hurry up and find a way, don't fix those useless things. Liu Mu said angrily. These guys are always whimsical, can do light work, and can fly the eaves and walk the wall? Either the general or the general's personal guard, or the doorman who can't move. If Lord Letang can call one of them, how can he let our gang bring a zipline over?

The youngest Erniu looked left and right, stood a little further away, looked up and down, and said excitedly: "My lord!"

Liu Mou's eyes widened and he made a gesture of silence. Erniu stuck out his tongue, made a grimace, and ran back to the shadow of the city wall: "My lord, I found that there is a draining dragon head on the city wall, which is only about forty feet above the ground, and the plaque of Zhaohua City on the city gate is about twenty-five feet above the ground. If you can first hook the wooden wedge (xie) used to fix the lower head of the plaque, and then put the faucet on the top to drain the water, you should be able to go up. ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, twenty-five feet, but you can try.

So the people picked out the one with the strongest arm, took the zipline, and went out to try. Fortunately, he lived up to expectations, and the second time he caught the wooden wedge, and the strong man pulled it vigorously with his hand to ensure that the rope was firmly lassoed, and made a look.

The second ox, the smallest and lightest, climbed up along the rope, found a place to settle on it, stood firmly, waved the rope to lasso the dragon's head, climbed up again, drew a gourd to lassothe battlement, and turned over.

After a while, Er Niu stood on the battlements and shouted: "My lord! The hole in the city gate is blocked by broken stones!

Liu Mu slapped his palm on his heavenly spirit cover, and he wanted to slap himself to death! If there was an ambush, who would stand on the city wall in the open?

"What should I do, my lord?" the group asked.

"One by one, leave a hundred men to guard the city, and immediately release the cigarette letter if the situation is not right. "Since Erniu has already shouted out, even if there is an ambush, he already knows it. Leave a hundred people, even if all the people who entered the city are wiped out, there will still be someone to report the news, so as not to let the army suffer losses.

These two oxen are also stupid, since they went up, they don't know how to find some ropes and throw them down, these 5,000 people go up from a rope, as long as there is a person guarding the city, it is not a knife and a knife, cut it clean.

Thinking of this, Liu Mu stopped a sergeant who was about to go up: "Bring the zipline, go up and fix it and throw it down, so many people, when will a rope be climbed." ”

The sergeant received the order and climbed up with a few bundles of ziplines on his back. After a while, seven or eight fixed ropes were thrown down. This was repeated repeatedly, and all four thousand nine hundred and one people climbed the city wall in less than half an hour.

The first thing Liu Mu did when he went up was to grab Erniu's ears, twist them three times on the spot, gritted his teeth and said, "If there is an ambush, you will kill all of us!"

Erniu covered his ears and grinned, and he didn't even dare to say it anymore.

Liu Mu finally lowered his ears and instructed everyone: "1,000 people lined up to touch the city wall, 2,000 people searched the city, and if they found something wrong, they immediately sent a smoke message, and the rest immediately withdrew nearby." Don't try to come to the rescue!Assemble here an hour later. "Everyone received the order, and their own little leaders sent their own troops, and they went separately.

Le Tang was ten miles outside the city, leading several personal soldiers and deputy generals to look at it. They walked from the tent of the middle army to the camp, then to the camp gate, and then to the city fifteen miles, and then to the city ten miles away. I can't remember how many times General Letang cut off the head of Liu Mou, who led the troops.

The generals are also anxious in their hearts, this Liu Mou, why is he so meticulous in doing things. I don't know how to send someone back to report the news. Just let people wait in the cold wind.

And after another hour had passed, all the people on the city wall had gathered and counted the number of people, and there were quite a few. Liu Moucai put his mind at ease and let people release a safe and sound cigarette letter.

He led 4,899 people in the city, found tools, and began to dig up the stones piled up in the hole in the south gate. The rest of the people turned over and slid down the rope, and reported to the people below them, asking them to go back and inform Lord Le. In case no one sees the cigarette letter.

Anyway, 4,900 people are digging holes in the city gates, and it doesn't matter if there are more than 100 people or less than this 100 people.

A hundred people under the city were ordered, and they happened to meet General Letang's whole army halfway through, so the two places were combined into one, and they came to Zhaohua City again.

General Letang inquired about the situation in the lower city, leaving part of the army to surround the city. He led a large group of men and horses to enter the city around the only unblocked north gate in the city.

In this regard, Yanbei's closest to Yanzhong is also the largest city in Yanbei, Zhaohua City, which was recovered without flying a single soldier.

Le Tang sent a team of light horsemen and released two falcons at the same time to report the good news to General Le Niu at the back.

The vanguard of 200,000 troops was stunned by this great military feat. No one thought about why Beidi would flee without a fight. No one even thought that if Beidi planned to flee without a fight, why would he send the elite to go around the rear to cut off their food and grass.

Leniu received the Falcon message and frowned.

Everything was so perfect, Beidi followed his old temperament, burned and looted and then withdrew. Leave an empty city behind. In order to cover the escape of the army, the elite was sent to cut off the grain routes of the Yan and Qin armies to delay time.

But he always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't think of anything wrong. It can only be said that there is a warning in my heart: "Hand the letter to General Zheng and General Qin of the Qin Army." ”

The herald took the letter and went.
