After seven days of war in Langzhou, the north of the city was relatively peaceful. The city is so wide that it takes a lot of time for the city guards to patrol from the west gate to the north gate. Tonight, when they heard that the Tang army had withdrawn from the siege, the exhausted soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. Many of them fell asleep leaning against the city wall. go. This was true for all the important city gates, and the North Gate, which had not been attacked, was even more unprepared. After nightfall, only a series of sound of sleeping sound could be heard.
The moonlit night was hazy, and the remaining light fell on the quiet Langzhou City, but it was difficult to illuminate the water gate hidden in the northwest corner. I don't know when, this dark water gate has opened a small gap, and the gap in the door has cleverly blended into the door in the invisible night. Looking from a distance, it actually looks like a small gap. It’s hard to see the clues.
"Gudong! Gudong!" Inside the water gate, a head gently poked out of the water. After letting the water flow slowly out of the mouth, it breathed evenly. Its eyes were like wild beasts in the forest, and they were like torches at night, scanning keenly. The surrounding situation, he quickly swam calmly to the underwater stone steps, walked quietly to the shore, and waited in black clothes with his knees half bent.
Then, the second person entered the city smoothly in the same way. Soon there were a third and a fourth, gradually like a group of crocodiles stranded in a pond. In less than half an hour, hundreds of men in black entered from the water gate and gathered under the city wall.
"Uncle, come on!" A man said in an extremely soft voice.
"Seize the door." The person called "Uncle" is naturally Peng Shiyu, the young master of Xizhou, who is also the leader of tonight's secret attack. He waved gently, and dozens of black-clad barbarians behind him immediately Like a green snake on a branch, he flexibly moved along the city wall towards the north gate.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Like a gust of cold wind blowing by, the hundreds of Langzhou soldiers who were sleeping soundly around the bonfire at the north gate seemed to have been immobilized. They didn't even make a sound, and they just He stopped breathing in his sleep, and then fell to the ground stiffly, motionless.
Seeing that the blow dart was successful, Peng Shiyu stood on tiptoe and quickly led the remaining barbarian soldiers to the north gate, commanding: "Quickly remove the gate!"
I saw the barbarian soldiers moving the door scale down with all their hands, and then suddenly pulling open the north gate. Unexpectedly, there was a roar of the city gate, which seemed to wake up the surrounding houses! At this point, Peng Shiyu couldn't help but yelled: "Why are you so anxious? Do you think you are moving a woman?!"
Along the dark city gate, Peng Shiyu's personal guards rushed out to deliver the message. After a while, Peng Shiyu suddenly noticed something strange. He lowered his head and saw that the ground shook inexplicably, and then there was a "thumping" sound inside the city gate.
This is clearly the echo produced by the horse's hooves! Peng Shiyu was so excited that he quickly raised his hand to let the barbarian soldiers disperse to avoid accidental injury. The strong wind finally hit, and a few flames suddenly appeared, and then a tall maroon horse appeared first with a crisp sound. Li Yuan, wearing eye-catching Kirin Mingguang gold armor, led the Tang army cavalry behind him with a serious expression. Appeared suddenly.
At a glance, it was the dark and endless main street of Langzhou. There was no one at this time. The lanterns swaying in the wind on the archway in the distance were also dilapidated and there was no open flame.
Li Yuan took a deep breath, the red cloak on his body whirred, and then with a "swish" sound he pulled out his sharp sword and pointed it straight at the night sky!
"We, the sons of the Tang Dynasty, tonight is the time to make great achievements! Follow me into the city and capture and kill Liu Yan!"
Like thunder on the ground, the Tang Army cavalry raised their spears one after another, leaped high with their horse hooves, and shouted in unison: "Kill!!!"
Thousands of cavalry suddenly poured into Langzhou City like a tide. The deafening sound of horse hooves came from far and near, and the shouts of death shattered the quiet night. The dust billowing up was so daunting that even the earth seemed to tremble! The people in the city woke up from their sleep, closed their doors and shivered, and the Langzhou soldiers who were patrolling the city soon discovered something strange.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The Tang army has broken the city!" A Langzhou soldier panicked and shouted one last time in horror, then cut off the head of Luo Erhu who passed by. Then the words "Tang Jun destroyed the city" were like a chain reaction. The Langzhou soldiers in the city soon woke up from their sleep, and what greeted them was a new nightmare.
On Langzhou Street, the cavalry of the Tang Army galloped wantonly. Many Langzhou soldiers did not even have time to lift their weapons and died with their eyes open. Soon, fire broke out, and the whole city of Langzhou was in chaos. There were the harsh sounds of swords clashing everywhere. The thunderous sound was mixed with cries and howls. Wherever the horses of the Tang army passed by, there were traces of blood, and the air was filled with blood. There is a strong fishy smell!
The hand-to-hand fighting in front of Jiedushi's office was particularly fierce. Under the guidance of Peng Shiyu, Li Yuan personally led his elite troops and came straight. As soon as the soldiers of the Tang army dismounted, they were met with a fierce counterattack by Liu Yan's soldiers.
Although the weapons and armor of the Holy Guard Army are considered to be the best in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers on this trip are carefully selected by Li Yuan to fight well, Liu Yan's personal soldiers also have their own advantages. Most of them are from the Wuling Mountains. On the other hand, they are similar to the Dongxi barbarians. They are very strong and flexible, so they can fight at night equally well.
At the Jiedu Envoy Office, at the two huge bronze doors that were usually magnificent, blood was pouring inside and outside. Accompanied by the shouts of charging into the battle, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, like a violent storm, and splashes of blood were thrown in the air. From time to time, there were splashes on both sides. The soldier's head rolled to the ground!
As Peng Shiyu's barbarian soldiers also joined the battle formation, the sound of "whispering" blowing arrows was heard everywhere, and soon the number of Liu Yan's soldiers was reduced sharply. Just as he was about to attack the government office, Li Yuan suddenly saw a steady stream of Langzhou soldiers arriving from all over to join the fight. They kept coming like a tide, falling one after another. The battle instantly fell into a stalemate, and the soldiers of the Tang Army also It is becoming increasingly difficult to resist.
A veteran in the Tang army was fighting, his eyes were blood red with a ferocious face. He chopped down a ferocious Langzhou soldier with force. He turned around and saw the coach Li Yuan, fighting with his back, and his heart was filled with blood. Suddenly, he tried his best to wipe away the blood foam in front of his eyes with his hands, and rushed into the enemy again!
Suddenly, Li Yuan turned around and saw a torch suddenly rising from the government office, and then there was a neat and powerful sound of drawing a bow from the darkness around him!
"Be careful with bows and arrows!" Li Yuan shouted, and slashed an enemy soldier beside him with a sword. His brand-new golden armor was instantly sprayed with sticky blood!
Then the rustling sound came overwhelmingly, and countless arrows came like rain in the dark night! However, none of the soldiers of the Tang Army flinched. They all rushed to Li Yuan bravely and stepped forward to resist with their flesh and blood. While slashing with the knife, he let out a beast-like roar from his throat!
"Whoa!" The rain of arrows fell, and Li Yuan watched helplessly as the huge bodies of no less than a hundred soldiers in front of him fell one by one like puppets with their strings cut off.
"Humph!" With a dull shout, Li Yuan saw an arrow whizzing past and passing through Luo Erhu's neck! Then the tall body began to shake gradually.
Li Yuan's heart suddenly seemed to fall into the abyss, his eyes turned red and he shouted: "Two Tigers!"
Roaring and cutting down several Langzhou soldiers blocking the front, Li Yuan rushed behind Luo Erhu like a wild beast that had lost its mind, and then firmly supported the black man's back.
"Brother, I'm fine, it's just a scratch!" Luo Erhu suddenly let go of his hand covering his neck. A little bit of flesh and blood was visible, but obviously he didn't hit the vital point. He tilted his head and smiled at Li Yuanhan.
Li Yuan's heart suddenly dropped, and he pushed away suddenly: "You f*cking scared me to death!"
Then I thought to myself, we can’t delay it any longer! If this continues, there will only be more and more soldiers in Langzhou. Only by fighting desperately to enter the mansion and capture Liu Yan can there be a chance of survival!
Li Yuan raised his sword high, turned around and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Go in! Capture and kill Liu Yan! Die for your country today!" Then, Li Yuan and Luo Erhu rushed to the mansion alone with lightning speed. In front of the door, two figures, one sword and one spear, swept across like thunder. The line of Langzhou soldiers guarding the front door were caught off guard and started wailing instantly!
The commander-in-chief still obeyed his orders, how could the soldiers of the Tang Army disobey him? The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and then the blood all over their bodies seemed to be boiling. They shouted and rushed towards the gate of the mansion at any cost.
The Langzhou soldiers, who had been fighting fiercely for a long time, were already struggling. At this moment, they saw that these Tang soldiers suddenly seemed to be possessed by evil gods. They did not hesitate to use their bodies to clear the way. Even if they fell, they looked in the direction of the gate of the mansion. They raised their swords to protect their chests with fear on their faces. , hurriedly retreated towards the mansion.
"Soldiers of Langzhou! Stop all!" A cold and stern roar suddenly sounded from the government office, and then a particularly gentle-looking general wearing black armor walked forward with two packages dripping blood in his hands. He rushed over and said in a cold voice: "Spread out!"
Immediately afterwards, several generals behind this man also dispersed and kept shouting to stop. Immediately, the Langzhou sergeants inside and outside the government office stopped fighting without knowing why. Seeing this, Li Yuan also raised his hand and shouted: "Stop for now!"
After scanning the hell on earth in front of him, the general walked quickly to Li Yuan, bowed humbly and said: "The last general, Langzhou Commander Zhou Xingfeng, pays homage to the general! I dare to ask the general's name!"
This name made Li Yuan suddenly vigilant. This person was Zhou Xingfeng who first betrayed Liu Yan, then killed Wang Kui, and finally separated Hunan for eight years? He looks really calm and sophisticated.
There was no time to think too much at this time. Li Yuan suppressed his mind, still holding the sword tightly in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Li Yuan, Marquis Yu, the capital of the Holy Army of the Great Tang Guard!"
Zhou Xingfeng nodded with good intentions, then raised the package in his hand high and shouted to everyone: "The heads of Liu Yan and Wang Kui are here! You quickly put down your swords and follow me back to the court! Otherwise, we will not kill you!" "
"Commander Jie is dead, how can we live alone, ah..." At this time, one of Liu Yan's soldiers suddenly said.
With a sword wipe, Zhou Xingfeng killed this character without hesitation, and then roared: "Those who are willing to die for Liu Yan, come forward! I will personally send him on his way!"
Zhou Xingfeng, the second eldest among the "Ten Brothers", was already well-known in the army. In addition, he was kind-hearted and always treated the soldiers with kindness and power. Now that Liu Yan and Wang Kui are dead, the surrounding Langzhou soldiers naturally follow suit, throwing down their weapons and shouting in unison: "We are willing to surrender!"
Zhou Xingfeng nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "Send my military order to open all the city gates and welcome the king's troops into the city!"
Accompanied by the "crackling" sounds of weapons hitting the ground, Li Yuan closed his eyes and secretly sighed in his heart, after all, history is repeating itself...
