Chapter Seventy-Four: The Gates Are Wide Open
It was really a bold idea, an idea that almost pushed Zhang Xiao into the fire pit.
If it weren't for the fact that Shen Luoyan had been tacitly regarded as the "Duchess of the Lord" by his generals, otherwise he would have ushered in a bunch of reprimands.
This attention is indeed good, but in a sense, it is indeed the idea of letting Zhang Xiao fight with his life.
But even so, when Shen Luoyan's voice fell, a group of scolding voices were ushered in.
"My lord, no. ”
"Never. ”
"It's ridiculous. ”
After hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Zhang Xiao's face, he knew that the reason why his subordinates said this was undoubtedly out of concern for himself.
The snake can't do it without a head, and Zhang Xiao is their head, if Zhang Xiao dies, then the huge strength of Zhang Xiao's organization will collapse with a bang.
However, Zhang Xiao also knew that opening the Xuanwu Gate was a trivial matter, and it would cost his own life.
After all, the inner city is different from the outer city, it is much easier, and there is generally no danger.
Zhang Xiao said, "No need to say it, I'll go back when I go." ”
Seeing Bi Tai, Du Ruhui and the two seemed to be about to speak again, Zhang Xiao said lightly: "This is our only chance to win Chang'an City, so we must move forward and put life and death out of the way." ”
After these words set the tone, the surroundings fell silent, and even though there were some different opinions, they would not speak against it again.
After all, Zhang Xiao is the lord, they are courtiers, if Zhang Xiao makes up his mind, then all they can do is to check the gaps and fill in the additions, and it is impossible to oppose them with all their might.
This is the so-called way of being a minister.
Zhang Xiao asked his subordinates to take out a three-zhang long rope from Yang Gong's treasure house, wrap it around his waist, and then perform the light skill of chasing the wind and catching shadows, and the whole person melted into the night like a phantom.
After Zhang Xiao reached the bottom of the city wall, he threw the rope upwards hard, and then slid to the city wall like a gecko.
Xuanwu Gate is actually one of the ten major portals of Taiji Palace, this section of the palace city wall is built of rammed earth plates, the wall is three zhang five feet high, more than six zhang wide, it can be regarded as a strong city, if you want to storm it does not know how many soldiers' lives will be filled.
Zhang Xiao listened carefully to the movement on the city wall, and there were not many patrolling soldiers now, so he jumped up, and then finally jumped onto the city wall.
At this time, although the sky was already faintly bright, it was still generally dim, and it seemed to be the last dark moment before the dawn was coming, with the help of darkness, Zhang Xiao would not be noticed by anyone.
Seeing these soldiers, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but secretly feel a little lucky, the walls, sentry towers, and the forbidden army of the east and west fortresses, everyone was armed with crossbows, although they all looked very lazy, and even a few were dozing, but Zhang Xiao could feel that there was a strong discipline and aggression hidden under their lazy appearance. Once the wind moves with the grass, they will become the most terrifying killing gods. In addition, because they are on the city walls, they are condescending, and the bows and crossbows in their hands can shoot any opponent with ease.
Zhang Xiao didn't kill anyone, after all, for Zhang Xiao, seizing the city gate is the real thing.
What's more, even if Zhang Xiao wants to do it, he may not be able to kill much.
Although it is said that with Zhang Xiao's current strength, it is not difficult to defeat one hundred enemies, but if he faces twenty strong bows and crossbows, he will die without a place to bury if he is not careful.
Zhang Xiao used the light skill of chasing the wind and shadows, dodged these soldiers, and then ran towards the city gate below.
"Chasing the wind and catching shadows" is the unsecret transmission of the Heavenly Pavilion, there are a number of hidden methods in the world, if these ordinary soldiers show it, it will be a strange thing.
Soon Zhang Xiao ran to the gate of the city tower, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little cold.
Because the Xuanwu Gate is not big, the gate of the city is crowded with more than 100 soldiers.
This is somewhat abnormal, normally there are only twenty or thirty night vigil soldiers at the city gate, but now this number has increased several times.
Zhang Xiao suddenly woke up to the fact that the Yin World Master is a generation of famous generals, so he will naturally guard against someone who will cooperate with the outside world, and it is normal for the number of soldiers defending the city to increase.
This is the harm of asymmetry in intelligence.
More than 100 Sui soldiers, Zhang Xiao naturally won't pay attention to them, after all, even if Zhang Xiao is the only one, he can kill them at a certain price, but it does take time.
And if these soldiers defending the city are alarmed, Zhang Xiao will inevitably usher in a steady stream of Sui soldiers, and at that time Zhang Xiao will only have a dead end.
Zhang Xiao thought about it and gritted his teeth.
If he had known that there were so many soldiers at the gate of the city, he would naturally not have left, but since he had already come, he would not have left.
Zhang Xiaochang took a breath, and then jumped up, using the heads of these Sui soldiers as a foothold, and exerted his light skills of chasing the wind and shadows, Zhang Xiao's position was only more than 100 meters away from the city gate, and Zhang Xiao's martial arts were naturally instantaneous.
When Zhang Xiao used all his strength to completely raise the city gate, something happened to these soldiers guarding the city.
Suddenly, he remembered a terrible cry, "Enemy attack." ”
Suddenly a dense stream of footsteps rushed towards them, and each of them was armed with spears, and there was a hint of madness on their faces.
As long as you are not stupid, you will understand what it will mean if the Xuanwu Gate is opened.
Zhang Xiao kicked a soldier to death with a kick from the left, and then snatched a spear from his hand, gathered all his strength, swept and beat violently. The four spears in the front sent the spears in Zhang Xiao's hand flying, and two of them were even beaten to the point that their heads were bleeding and they fell away.
Zhang Xiao's purpose at this time was not to kill the enemy, so he only took a defensive position, swept the spear in his hand left and right, and blocked the grid in front.
Because Zhang Xiao tried his best to wound the soldiers besieging him but not die, Zhang Xiao's opponents did not change much, they were all crowded there, and the people behind them couldn't squeeze in at all.
However, the good times didn't last long, these soldiers saw that things were not good, and they didn't know who greeted them, but the soldiers behind actually raised the spears in their hands at the same time, and then threw them at Zhang Xiao fiercely.
Zhang Xiao was slightly shocked in his heart, and immediately showed the mental method of "Mirror Flower and Water Moon", the whole person seemed to be on the outside, observing the origin and power of these spears, so he clearly grasped the angle and time of arrival of each spear thrown at them, and after repeated picking, these spears were broken by Zhang Xiao one by one.
Zhang Xiao couldn't help but feel a little glad in his heart, because he was crowded with these Sui troops, so no one dared to use a bow and arrow against him, otherwise, Zhang Xiao's danger would increase at least several times.
A quarter of an hour passed quietly, and wounds appeared on Zhang Xiao's body one after another, and there were fifty or sixty more corpses on the ground.
At this time, Zhang Xiao's whole person seemed to have become a bloody person, these blood yo hunger came from himself, some came from the enemy, and he couldn't tell the origin of this blood for a long time, most of these corpses did not die under Zhang Xiao's gun, but because after being severely injured by Zhang Xiao, they fell to the ground and trampled on each other to death.
The number of Sui troops is increasing, and the number of soldiers crowded at the city gate is afraid that there are thousands of people, but the city gate is so big, and the number of enemies Zhang Xiao faces has not increased, but in addition to the need to fight with the soldiers around him, he must also beware of some archery techniques.
The strength of these archers is good, even though Zhang Xiao is careful enough, but he still hit two bows and arrows, but he dodged the vital point, and there is no big problem.
The dawn of victory was in his eyes, Zhang Xiao could already clearly hear the footsteps of the guards under his command, although Zhang Xiao couldn't look back, but he could feel that they were only five or six hundred meters away from his position.
Zhang Xiao suddenly became more energetic, and the spear in his hand was even more dancing.
Five hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, fifty meters, the guards are getting closer and closer to Zhang Xiao, and they will be able to support Zhang Xiao immediately.
Just when Zhang Xiao was secretly relieved, a change protruded.
I don't know where a young general with full armor suddenly appeared, and he jumped behind Zhang Xiao while Zhang Xiao's spirit was relaxed.
If he and Zhang Xiao confronted him head-on, it would naturally be a dead end, but what he attacked was not Zhang Xiao, but the rope that held the city gate.
I only heard a click, and the rope was cut by this young general, and I only heard a boom, and I saw that this jack gate actually fell.
Zhang Xiao's heart couldn't help but sink, if this jack gate fell, then he would only be a dead end in the face of the continuous attacks of the Sui army.
