Inside Loushan Pass.
A group of soldiers stood guard at the entrance.
In recent days, they have basically been working in three shifts to maintain the strength at the gate of the city at all times. Moreover, they also have a complete set of military regulations to ensure that no accidents occur and that anything can be communicated immediately.
A man wearing gray armor walked over slowly.
"who?"
Several soldiers looked over nervously.
It's evening now, the sun is setting in the west, and suddenly someone comes over. They are now very nervous and can't help but react nervously.
"It's me, brothers."
Originally, the soldiers could not see it against the light, but when the familiar voice of the visitor sounded and the familiar smiling face appeared in front of them, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
Now as long as nothing happens to the soldiers, everything else is easy.
"Jia Duizheng, it turns out it's you, and you scared me."
"Hey, what's there to be afraid of? We're in the pass here, unless the people on the other side have wings and fly in, or they are gods."
Captain Jia is raising his eyebrows.
"It's impossible to say for sure. We are all bitter little soldiers. I heard that the Grandmaster Warrior flew into the sky and escaped from the earth. He is omnipotent. He might have flown over from somewhere."
One of the soldiers said.
The others also nodded. They were not well-educated, and they always listened to the storytellers in their free time. According to the storytellers, those master warriors were so powerful that it was unimaginable that they could even kill people with their swords flying thousands of miles away.
"That's all made up by the storyteller. Grandmaster warriors are stronger than us ordinary people. They are stronger and faster. They are just like tigers and lions. How can they fly?"
After Jia Duizheng said this, he took out a piece of meat from behind.
"I promised you some meat, and I've bought it for you this time. Let's go barbecue." Captain Jia said with a smile.
"That's not possible. We still have to go on duty. How about another time?"
Several soldiers looked troubled.
They are all in a dilemma. This matter is not easy. If it delays the official business, they cannot bear the responsibility.
"Wouldn't it be nice to ask the other brothers to take over for you?" Jia Duizheng gave a solution.
"How could they be willing?"
"Leave it to me. You guys wait here for a while and I'll call some brothers to take over for you."
Captain Jia was patting his chest to assure himself, and the others had nothing to say and had to listen to him.
Not long after Captain Jia left, he came over with a few soldiers.
"A few of them are willing to cover for you."
Team Jia was smiling.
At first glance, the several soldiers on duty were all acquaintances.
"Don't worry. We have taken advantage of Captain Jia and will keep an eye on you for two hours. You can go eat and drink on your own, don't worry."
Several people who came laughed.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Those few people saw that Captain Jia had already arranged everything. In this case, it was difficult for them to find an excuse not to go.
However, Captain Jia was always generous and often invited them to eat meat and drink wine, so this was not a big problem.
Several soldiers quickly handed over, took off their weapons, and followed Captain Jia to leave the place.
The soldiers who took over the city defense looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
The plan is going smoothly, but this is not the end. We still have to wait for a critical moment.
This opportunity will be half an hour later. The other team of soldiers guarding above will leave. It will take some time for the other team to come over. In this way, no one will supervise them for a short period of time.
Such a short time, generally speaking. If you are not an insider, you cannot use it at all.
"The time is almost ripe."
One soldier said.
They were indeed city defense soldiers, but they had followed Wei Lingxiao a long time ago.
Wei Lingxiao bribed these people in advance to protect himself. After all, the experience of the Wei family back then left a very deep impression on him.
"Open the city gate quickly."
They have seen the guards above leave. In this way, no one will sound the alarm quickly, and support from the side cannot arrive in a short time.
Of course, they have other early warning methods, and they will still find that the city gate is opened, but these are relatively delayed and cannot be discovered immediately.
The city gate seems huge and solid, but it is not difficult to open it from the inside, as long as it is controlled by the mechanism.
They have already sent out the signal in advance. The so-called signal is to release a local bird and let the other side intercept it.
Now they pressed the button above, and not long after, the city gate began to slowly open backwards. This process was quite slow, and the soldiers present were very anxious. Their action this time put pressure on themselves and their whole family. His life, if he couldn't make it, would definitely end with his whole family being executed.
When the door opened to accommodate one person, a figure had already entered from the outside.
This man was wearing iron armor and holding a long sword in his hand. He looked very heavy, but his movements were very light.
He is none other than Wei Xidao, a former member of the Yang Family's Keqing Courtyard in Bozhou.
Behind him was Hua Lingqi.
The two of them volunteered to become vanguard officers, for their own sake and to help their elder brother Jiao Feilong.
Grandmaster warriors wear iron armor to serve as forerunners, which often works wonders.
After Wei Xidao and Hua Lingqi rushed in, the city gate was already wide open. At this time, the defenders finally reacted.
The nearest city defender and the Huya Army rushed over quickly.
But it's too late.
Jiao Feilong immediately smashed the mechanism on the wall with his heavy sword. In this way, if the defenders wanted to close the door again, they had to use manpower to push it, and the difficulty increased sharply.
"Generals, thousands of people will come one after another. About three hundred people will come first."
In order to show the difference, the soldiers who opened the door took red cloth strips in advance and tied them on their arms.
Wei Lingxiao had already arranged all of this in advance.
"Okay, stay back."
Wei Xidao wore a mask on his face. He made a gesture, and the team behind him poured in like a tide.
At the same time, the teams outside also began to charge.
The defenders and Huya Army were already fighting with the imperial army that rushed in. This was no longer a battle to defend the city, but a battle between infantry.
When the infantry fights against each other, because the entry point is still relatively narrow, the number of people who are actually in contact is still relatively small, and there is not so much coordination. The combination of various arms only involves frontal contact between spears and swords.
"kill."
Screams and blood flew everywhere. In this kind of battle, ordinary warriors played a very small role in it, and the master warriors were somewhat unable to withstand attacks from all directions. Wei Xidao and Hua Lingqi both received their injuries. Fortunately, their armor has a relatively high degree of protection and can block attacks from ordinary swords.
After a period of fighting, the defenders and Huya Army began to retreat.
Compared with the elites brought out by Luo Fengtang, they were still far behind.
