tread.
Riding on the horse, Xu Mu coldly covered his pockmarked face. Behind him, more than two thousand figures quickly covered their pockmarked faces just like him.
Six hundred cavalrymen and about two thousand infantry bows began to march out of Zhougong Town in the cold night.
"Master, where are you going?"
"Walk along the woods."
There is actually still dozens of miles to go from Zhougong Town to Wangzhou. Xu Mu could only hope that like the last time, he would not meet Black Eagle again and be discovered by the Di people.
The horses' hooves were wrapped in robes as much as possible, and even the carriage's wheels were padded with a layer of bark.
There was no lantern, Zhou Zun and his men continued to perform their duties as scouts, surrounding a long team of more than 2,000 people and rushing back and forth.
The dusk was falling, and the rain finally subsided a lot, but the long road was still muddy. The horses' hooves splashed mud with difficulty, and the two thousand marching bows and tightly bound feet were also covered with dirty new mud.
"Master, there are still five miles."
Xu Mu raised his head solemnly and looked at Wangzhou City shrouded in the night. Its faint outline was simple and vicissitudes of life.
"Where's the night watch nearby?"
"It's still far away. It will take about two or three hours to get back."
"Is there any news from Chen Sheng?"
"My boss, there's news! It's said that the baggage from the north is preparing to enter Wangzhou, and the Di people have added a lot of patrols in the city."
"Damn it."
Adding more patrols means that the plan to climb over the wall and enter the city has failed. In other words, we can only rely on Chen Sheng and dozens of people to cooperate inside and outside the city.
At this time, in front of them, at the south gate of Wangzhou outside the forest, there were vaguely four or five groups of people patrolling at night.
"Master, how are you?" Feng Qiu took a few steps closer, his eyes full of anxiety.
"Of course I have to fight."
Xu Mu exhaled. For more than 2,000 of them, spending time in the enemy's hinterland would also mean death.
Of course, you can return to Tuotou Mountain. But Xu Mu estimated that none of the desperate heroes in Xiao Sha's march would be willing to turn back.
"Master, let me knock on the city first."
Tread.
Chen Jiaqiao slowly stepped out with fifty heroes.
"Mr. Chen, you can't wait for fifty people."
"Although there are few people, they are determined to break the formation! Boss, be optimistic!"
Xu Mu wanted to persuade him again, but more than fifty figures had already taken off their robes and armor, revealing Shengxue's white clothes, which looked extremely dazzling in the night.
"The mountains and rivers are shrouded in mist and rain, and in ten years the dynasty will be cut down with one sword."
"Plunder——"
More than fifty knights, led by Chen Jiaqiao, began to rely on Qinggong and flew on the muddy ground, splashing waves of mud.
"If you don't care for a lot of gold, you can repay your favor with a sword!"
At the foot of Wangzhou City, the eye-catching white clothes of Shengxue finally attracted the attention of the night patrol team.
Chen Jiaqiao cut out his umbrella sword, rushed to the city gate first, and chopped off the head of the first Di man.
"Flick your clothes away from a murderer, and you will be ashamed to enter the official residence!"
Behind Chenjiaqiao, more than fifty people in white clothes rose up one after another, turning the dead night sky into patches of white makeup.
"All generals and ministers can be killed, why don't you kill everyone!"
The sword light split coldly, accompanied by Di Ren's cry of pain. But not long after, at least thousands of Di people appeared on the top of the city, setting up their bows and arrows.
In the distant forest, Xu Mu closed his eyes.
"Three pots of carved wine, sacrifice to my Xia'er's grave!"
The knights who were flying lightly in mid-air were shot through the chests by arrows, and their white clothes were stained with blood, and they fell down high.
Even so, after all, a dozen chivalrous men climbed to the top of the city with the help of the rope hooks they carried with them. They raised their swords and fought with the Di people on the top of the city.
However, there were too few manpower, and from time to time a knight was killed by the traffic jam and fell into the city.
Xu Mu opened his eyes, his eyes full of anger.
"Archer!"
"call!"
Two Thousand Step Bow raised his head coldly.
Dozens of heroes died, which delayed the Di people from returning to defend the city gate.
"Attack the city!" Xu Mu pointed with his long sword in the direction of Wangzhou City.
In an instant, the two thousand bowmen lurking in the forest roared and ran towards the city gate. The first row quickly raised the crude wooden shields in their hands.
Thump thump thump!
The Beidi people on the top of the city were all frightened. They never expected that Ji people would attack the city at this time.
Countless flying arrows landed on the wooden shield. From time to time, a running archer was shot to pieces and died in the middle of the charge.
"Six hundred riders, follow me to attack the city gate!" Xu Mu pulled up the reins and shouted angrily.
From ancient times to the present, cavalry attacking a city has been a fool's errand. Xu Mu had no such plan at this time.
What he wanted was for these six hundred cavalry to use their speed to abandon their horses and board the city from the other side of the narrow wall.
…
In Wangzhou City.
Chen Sheng looked at the dark streets with cold eyes. Group after group of Di defenders began to rush towards the South City Gate.
Wait until the last team passes——
Chen Sheng stood up and took off the iron bow on his back.
"Fire!"
Buzz.
Under the slight sporadic rain, sparks hit the kerosene, and a large clay pot quickly burned with black and green flames.
"Dip in fire oil! Aim!"
call!
Dozens of hiding heroes raised their iron bows and aimed in the direction of the defenders at the south city gate.
"Beng Xian!"
Angang——
Dozens of kerosene arrows were suddenly thrown into the sky, with a harsh owl sound, and long smoke tails emerged from the darkness, and then, like small meteorite rain, they fell in front of the defenders at the South City Gate.
In the blink of an eye, two or three fire snakes climbed up crazily as the fire spread. After burning more than a dozen Di people to death, the remaining people were shocked and retreated hastily.
"Dip it in fire oil again!"
"Beng Xian!"
The second round of fire rain was thrown away again, and it also lived up to expectations, burning several more fire snakes.
The extremely angry Di defenders discovered the figures of Chen Sheng and dozens of people. They roared and turned around, cocking their bows and twisting arrows.
Horse arrows shot out, and in an instant, a dozen heroes were turned into hedgehogs and died in front of Chen Sheng.
Seeing that the second round of flying arrows is about to come again.
"Hide!" Chen Sheng gritted his teeth.
During this period of time, he was the one who followed Xu Mu the longest. If Xu Mu was not around, he would be the second in command.
Therefore, he must not embarrass Xujiazhuang.
"A bastard, a bastard! Raise your sword!"
Clang Clang Clang Clang.
When hundreds of Di people came to kill them, the remaining thirty or so heroes, led by Chen Sheng, drew their long knives and prepared to fight to the death.
"Chen Sheng, let people avoid him!"
When he was about to charge to the death, Chen Sheng suddenly heard Xu Mu's voice. Without thinking about it, he hurriedly led his people to hide again.
Not long after, a hail of arrows flew from the direction of the narrow wall, killing hundreds of Di people.
Xu Mu stood up and looked at the six hundred people behind him after they had climbed over the narrow wall. He immediately raised his sword and pointed in the direction of the south city gate.
"kill!"
More than six hundred figures clenched the knives in their hands and rushed away without fear of death.
