The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 338 Stealing the City

At night, after midnight, the waning moon is also covered by clouds. At this time, it is about one or two o'clock in the evening. It is the time when people sleep the most, and it is easy to get sleepy, even the patrolling guards are no exception.

On the city wall of the pass, burning flames were crackling. The patrolling soldiers stood there, and several soldiers had already closed their eyes.

In such a dark situation, a small group of black shadows quickly approached the pass.

Whenever the soldiers on the pass moved, they just lay down and remained motionless, like stones.

The current visibility does not exceed a few meters at all, so the situation on the ground in the dark night in the distance cannot be seen clearly. The soldiers on the walls of these passes did not notice the sneaky figures in the distance at all.

Not long after, about fifty or so soldiers came to the bottom of the city wall. They all had short knives on their backs, hand crossbows on their waists, and claws in their hands.

The intelligence observed during the day worked. When the patrolling soldiers above walked away, the claws in their hands immediately swung upwards. The claws flew accurately to the city wall with the rope, and then the rope was pulled, and the claws were tightly hooked. on the city wall.

The Xin Guo soldiers quickly grabbed the rope and climbed towards the city wall. If they were farther away, these people would be like spiders on the city wall.

The bugs in the forest beside him were chirping, and the forest in the dark night was filled with various sounds.

In the forest not far away, all the soldiers under Chen Tang's command held their breath while looking at the soldiers climbing on the wall not far away.

Whether they can successfully take this pass depends on them.

The first batch of soldiers climbed to the top of the city very quickly, and the timing was just right, and the group of patrolling soldiers had just passed by.

The second group of soldiers also got up quickly, and the first group of soldiers spread out at the top of the city, holding short knives and hand crossbows in their hands.

A guarding soldier standing there motionless, before he could react, covered his mouth with a hand from behind, wiped his neck with a short knife, and was thrown to the ground. Make a lot of noise.

Several soldiers guarding the city were directly killed one after another. The first batch of soldiers quickly began to search for the city gate switch, and some soldiers began to kill the soldiers on the top of the city.

Except for the soldiers on patrol, most of the soldiers at the top of the city were asleep, and most of them were still in the barracks in the city.

There were actually not many soldiers at the top of the city, only about a hundred or so.

In the dark night, soldiers guarding the city were constantly being killed. A soldier who was leaning against the wall and closing his eyes didn't respond at all, and was directly covered with his mouth and killed with a knife.

A patrolling soldier just happened to see the killing of a soldier from the Xinguo head on, and was startled. He was about to shout, but the soldier from the Xinguo raised his hand crossbow, and with a whoosh, the crossbow shot out and shot into his body Throat.

The patrolling soldier fell, and the Xinguo soldiers went smoothly.

A lot of soldiers defending the city died, and the city was almost cleaned up. A soldier came to the city, gestured to the soldiers hiding in the forest, and threw a torch to the ground.

"action."

Chen Tang said in a deep voice.

All the soldiers went straight to the main road and ran towards the pass.

At the same time, more than a dozen Xin Guo soldiers came to the city gate, removed the gate bolt, and prepared to open the city gate.

"who?!"

But at this critical moment, a shout came from behind them. These Xinguo soldiers looked back, only to see a patrolling soldier just in time to see them.

"Enemy attack! Enemy—"

Before he could finish speaking, a Xin Guo soldier's hand crossbow was shot directly, and he fell down clutching his throat.

"quick!"

The gate was opened, and soldiers from the Xin Kingdom outside rushed in, but there was commotion in the barracks not far from the city.

"The soldiers in the city have spotted us."

Chen Tang said in a deep voice: "You send people to guard the north city gate. Be sure not to let any soldier escape. The rest will follow me and kill all these traitors from the Lie Nation!"

"kill!"

The morale of the Xin Guo soldiers was so high that they followed Chen Tang and rushed towards the camp.

The camp in the city was not well-fortified, or not at all. Many soldiers were still sleeping in military tents, and many soldiers were sleeping in the houses. Murderous Xin Guo soldiers rushed over.

Before he could react, a knife directly wiped his neck.

puff!
Blood shot on the army tent, and Chen Tang took the lead. The saber in his hand smashed the general tent with a sword, and rushed into it. The saber in his hand slashed wildly, and the soldier who hadn't got up was directly killed Killed with a sword.

Then he rushed out of the camp, holding a bloody sword in his hand, and stabbed it into the body of a soldier who had just rushed out.

"kill!"

The shouts of killing shook the sky, and the rest of the soldiers also started killing. Some soldiers even kicked open the door of the room suddenly, rushed in, and directly killed the soldiers who were still wearing clothes.

Blood was splashed everywhere, and under the light of the fire, the soldiers died screaming.

The guard also came out of the camp. Seeing this scene, his expression changed immediately, and he shouted suddenly: "Quick, quickly send someone to the imperial capital to deliver a message, saying that Mengguan has fallen, hurry!"

The soldiers around him also rushed to lead the horse, wanting to get on the horse and run towards the distance.

"Don't let them run away!"

There was a shout, followed by a swishing sound, and the hand crossbow was shot out. Several soldiers on the horses turned over and fell off their horses. Only a few cavalry were lucky and rushed towards the outside of the battlefield camp. go out.

It's a pity that they hadn't approached Beicheng yet, and the soldiers of the Xin Kingdom who were waiting there bent their bows and set up arrows to shoot them all.

None of the soldiers in this pass can get out.

The soldiers at the pass had just woken up, and before they recovered from their sleep, they were facing an attack on the camp. Chen Tang's army was recharging their energy, so the two sides were not in the same state at all, facing the crazy attack of Chen Tang and all the soldiers. Therefore, the whole The battle situation is one-sided defeat.

The guard had no choice. He wanted to join the battlefield, but Chen Tang had already slashed at him with his sword. Under Chen Tang's attack, he couldn't stand it.

"I'm waiting to surrender!"

After being kicked down, the guard suddenly yelled.

Hearing what the guard said, the soldiers who were still alive also threw away their weapons and raised their heads high: "We surrender!"

The Xinguo soldiers stopped attacking, and Chen Tang frowned: "Come here, tie them up for me."

Soon, all the soldiers who surrendered were gathered together, and the city fell into the hands of Xin Guo.

"General, what about these prisoners?"

Looking at the prisoners who were tied together, Chen Tang frowned: "Kill them all, if they are released, the news will leak out, and it will have a fatal impact on our surprise attack."
