The offensive and defensive battle in front of Xiongguan lasted until the sun set, the compact and tragic battle let the Zhongzhou army on the city wall see what it means to be fierce, the attacks of the Northeast Army wave after wave, all kinds of siege equipment went into battle, if it were not for the Zhongzhou army There are many people here, this city wall is afraid that it has been broken a few hours ago.
The tired Zhongzhou army looked at the red sea gradually receding, most of them collapsed on the city wall weakly, they didn't care when they fought, and when the battle was over, many people found that they were more or less slightly injured, and those tall and fierce soldiers of the Northeast Army, every time they rushed to a person, they had to lie down on the city wall four or five.
Cheng Shijie's tense heartstrings were also loosened, but when his eyes swept over the two corpses lying quietly next to him, his brows furrowed again, the two law gods, this is the help sent by Su Hu to himself, originally thought that with them, this Xiongguan would be even more solid, but in the fighting method a few hours ago, these two law gods were actually killed by one of the people in the Long Zhantian camp.
That person Cheng Shijie didn't know, just an old man dressed in ordinary clothes, but it was such an old man, a ninth-level water magic extinguished the fire on the city wall, and the city wall was also washed clean.
The fighting god on his side couldn't see it, but as soon as he saw it, he was killed by other people's magic in seconds, Cheng Shijie saw it clearly, it was the killing move of the water system law god, the water extinguished the flow, if he didn't hide quickly, he probably wouldn't be able to escape.
Fortunately, the old man just killed two fighting gods and retreated, but the shadow in Cheng Shijie's heart lingered, the fierce combat power of the Northeast Army and the powerful old man, Cheng Shijie had to face Long Zhantian's last sentence, Xiongguan, you can't hold it The Northeast Army retreated thirty miles, and after receiving the return of the spies, Cheng Shijie took off his armor, but he still did not dare to relax, and strictly ordered his subordinates to guard the city wall at night, and there were more people than during the day.
In the Northeast Army camp, an old man sat side by side with Long Zhantian on the chairman's seat, and the people sitting on the left and right were the henchmen of the Long family.
Long Zhantian poured a glass of wine, saluted the old man next to him with both hands, and the old man took the wine glass with a smile on his face.
"Thanks to Zhan Lao today, please do this toast."
Long Zhantian picked up another glass of wine and said, the old man drank the wine, and the smile on his face was very peaceful, "Zhan Tianna, the old man is old, if he can do something for the Long family, he can do more, you are really too polite." ” Long Zhantian looked respectful, and gave another glass of wine, and the other generals also saluted the old man, this old man surnamed Zhan is the first of the five major offerings in the worship hall, Zhan Wushuang became famous very early, and when Long Gaitian had not yet established the worship hall, Zhan Wushuang was already a god-level figure.
After the toast, Zhan Wushuang left on his own, after Long Zhantian and the others sent the old man out, they immediately raised the tent and gathered the generals, and the entire camp of the Northeast Army acted quickly, the soldiers smeared and pierced, and the heavily suppressed camp quietly gathered heavily armed soldiers.
These soldiers have not participated in the siege of the city during the day, a whole day of recuperation, in order to raid at night, the black-clothed guards have been sent out by Long Zhantian, if nothing else, in another moment, the signal will sound, when the time comes, the door of Xiongguan will be wide open, and the hinterland of the Central Plains will be visible.
The generals in the tent all clenched the hilt of the sword at their waists, Long Zhantian was dressed in armor, his eyes were staring at the sky, and everyone was waiting for the signal to sound.
"Autumn" sounded, the dragon word fireworks exploded in the sky above Xiongguan on time, Long Zhantian's face flashed a trace of joy, grabbed the order arrow on the table and said: "All the generals listen to the order" The generals hugged their fists and said: "In" "Click" ordered the arrow to land, and Long Zhantian shouted: "Seize the pass" army rushed out of the camp in a hurry, and the 20,000 light horsemen who were secretly ambushed ten miles away from Xiongguan were the first to move, and a little red flashed away in the dark night.
"Hey, fireworks" The soldiers guarding the pass looked blankly into the air, there were about 100 people guarding the gate of the city, these soldiers were much more lazy than those guarding the city, most of them were secretly napping, and after an explosion, they didn't wake up a few people.
With the sound of "brush", a big hole was broken in the ground out of thin air, and a black figure jumped out of the hole, the figure flashed forward, and a black dagger flashed out of the sleeve, and then, the hole in the land at the gate of the gate kept appearing, and one after another the figure appeared.
The soldiers finally came to their senses, but it was already too late, these killers who belonged to the dark department of the black-clothed guards, more professional than any killer organization on the mainland, more than a hundred soldiers guarding the gate were killed almost instantly, and they didn't even have time to make a sound.
The same situation played out at the same time at another closing door, and with the slight sound of the gears turning, the heavy closing door began to slowly open, and the five killers of the dark part of the black-clothed guard pulled a huge handle together, and with their force, the door opened wider and wider.
"Enemy attack" a roar that pierced the night sky, the soldiers guarding the city wall looked ahead, because of the night, the red light cavalry burst to a hundred meters away from the city before being noticed, like a shower of horses' hooves, the Northeast Army forwards officially launched a charge.
The "swish" arrows began to tilt frantically towards the gate, the bed crossbow "squeaked" and swayed, and the thick arrows flew out with a whistling, but it was pitch black under the wall, and only the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the night, and it was impossible to distinguish how many people there were.
Just when the general in charge of defending the city was woken up and ran in a panic to command, the soldiers were shocked by the situation, they saw one by one shadows "swishing" towards the gate, and the situation of hitting people on their backs during the day no longer appeared, and the shadows disappeared one after another.
Finally someone reacted, and shouted in horror: "The door is opened", as if to confirm his words, the originally silent door boiled, and people neighed on their horses, completely tearing apart the silence of the night.
Cheng Shijie returned to the garrison mansion extremely tired, there are 100,000 soldiers stationed here in Xiongguan all the year round, and the nearby merchants and people heard the news, and gradually, a town was formed five miles away from Xiongguan, this town was under the jurisdiction of the Xiongguan guard, and Cheng Shijie's mansion was temporarily set up in the garrison mansion in this town.
In order to show his determination to guard the pass, the loyal Cheng Shijie even took his family to Xiongguan to show his willingness to defend Xiongguan.
The faces of his wife and concubine were not good-looking, especially Cheng Shijie's wife, who was terrified and fought for a day, although the town was more than five miles away from the pass, but the earth-shattering shouting and killing still made the family uneasy.
"General, you're back" The concubine obediently handed a cup of tea to Cheng Shijie, Cheng Shijie waved his hand and said with a tired face: "You guys eat first, I'm tired, go rest first."
After saying that, Cheng Shijie left first.
The worry on the women's faces deepened, this was the first day, and the husband was actually tired like this.
Cheng Shijie returned to the backyard, first went to meet the envoy sent by Su Hu, and then went back to his room.
There was a "flutter" sound, and a black-clothed man who had just touched Cheng Shijie's mansion stopped his footsteps, and a blood-red sword blade stood out at his throat, which was a green thin sword, which made the sword look gloomy under the light of the lantern, and the person holding the sword was a middle-aged man, with three long whiskers fluttering slightly in the night, with an indescribable chic.
As soon as the middle-aged man put it away, the thin sword was drawn, and the dead killer didn't understand why he was discovered when he was obviously sneaking in.
There was another killer with the man in black, this killer's means were a little more superb, at this time he was lying between the rockeries, and the whole person was completely integrated with the rockery.
"Come out, don't hide it."
The middle-aged man's eyes were like electricity, and he coldly forced his gaze in this direction, and the killer's heart suddenly tightened, but his body still didn't move.
"I can really calm down, hum" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, the green thin sword in his hand danced quickly, and then he saw a strange scene with the killer, he saw a piece of green leaves, the leaves were like the wind, and the next moment, he lost consciousness.
Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, the middle-aged man frowned slightly, and muttered secretly in his heart, these two killers are extremely clever, if it weren't for themselves, others would never have found them.
The middle-aged man wiped the blood off the thin sword, and looked at the house not far away, and the person sleeping in the room was Cheng Shijie, who came to greet him before, and the middle-aged man had no good impression of this rough-looking man.
Do you want to inform him The middle-aged man thought about it, and then shook his head, and after a while, the guards of the patrol found that the corpse would naturally know to him, why did he surrender his identity, thinking of this, the middle-aged man moved lightly, and his figure disappeared in a flash.
The middle-aged man had just returned to the house and sat down, when the shouting of killing outside suddenly started, the fire was soaring, and the middle-aged man's eyes were acute, and he rushed out of the door with a "whoosh".
Cheng Shijie fell asleep, as if he had dreamed of a few bloody knife tips, he was scared and sweating profusely in his sleep, and suddenly, there was a rapid shout from outside the door: "General, General" Cheng Shijie woke up suddenly, got up from the bed in a hurry, didn't even have time to put on his shoes, grabbed the long knife next to the bed, and quickly rushed out to open the door.
The guards stood at the door, with an anxious look on their faces, and saw Cheng Shijie arrive: "General, it's not good, something is wrong."
Cheng Shijie was also stunned at this time, the sky was red, there were shouts everywhere, and the whole town had fallen into chaos
