Chapter 2714 Raid 2
Manbao was very far away. There was no way. She had to be out of the range of the bows and arrows. But she had Koko. She paid some points and passed Koko. She saw the scene of fighting inside and couldn't help but sigh that His Majesty really knew how to choose people. Qibi Heli and Xue Gui were both brave, but Ashina and Xue Bei were steady, especially General Ashina. He had always been strict in military discipline and enforced orders. With him around, the soldiers would not advance rashly to grab military merits and would be willing to defend the rear for Qibi Heli and Xue Gui.
Qibi Heli and Xue Gui were both wise and brave, especially since they looked ready to risk their lives. The soldiers they led also advanced bravely. The Goguryeo soldiers facing them were inspired by their bravery and their hands holding weapons trembled.
The two men led their soldiers and rushed to the bottom of the city wall, one on the left and one on the right. The soldiers behind them immediately dismounted, chopped down the people guarding the stone stairs, and then rushed up.
Qibi Heli and Xue Gui each seized the stairs on one side, followed closely by General Ashina, who immediately led his troops to stop the Goguryeo soldiers who kept rushing out of the city to rescue, and firmly guarded the stairs and city gates on both sides to prevent the enemy from encircling them again.
Manbao couldn't help but sit up straight, looking inside with a light in his eyes. Qibi Heli was the first to attack the city wall. Xue Gui lagged behind and also led his men to attack from the other side. Then the two sides moved towards the middle and cleared out all the people on the city wall.
After Qibi Heli occupied the tower, he stood on the wall facing Anshi City and shouted, "The tower belongs to the Jin Dynasty. Soldiers, take the west gate!"
"kill--"
The soldiers below were like chickens with their blood pumped up. Their eyes turned red and they roared loudly, and attacked together.
The Goguryeo soldiers were unable to withstand the attack and were frightened and retreated. Some of them turned around and ran away, but were killed by the murderous Jin army who caught up with them.
General Ashina led them after them for a hundred feet before he stopped them, forbidding them to pursue further. He said, "Form a defensive formation, set up checkpoints, and guard the west gate!"
Everyone retreated unwillingly.
The ambushers hiding in the alley saw that they were only ten feet away and could not help but slap the wall in anger. Why is this guy so annoying?
The Jin army retreated in an orderly manner, and then moved the checkpoints to block the road. They also dismantled everything that could be dismantled nearby and threw them all in the middle of the road as a barrier.
After Qibi Heli's roar, Manbao kicked the horse's belly and quickly entered the city with the rest of the people.
The soldiers left behind to protect them were startled and quickly chased after him, "Master Zhou, it's not completely safe yet."
Manbao said, "The city gate has been captured. Everyone, go into the gatehouse and treat the wounded."
Manbao was the first to enter the city. Qibi Heli happened to be coming downstairs. When he saw her, his eyes lit up and he stepped forward and said, "Master Zhou, I have a cut on my arm."
Manbao took a look. Because of the protection of the armor, the knife was not very deep, but it was bleeding. She nodded slightly, and after a quick glance, she decided to treat it in the large open space under the city wall.
Then she pointed to the open space and said, "The medical tent is here. Have them bring the wounded over.
Then Zhou Liru, Wen Tiandong and others took down the cloth bags, opened the medicine box and started to stop the bleeding and bandage Qibi Heli's wounds.
General Ashina led the pursuers back, glanced at Qibi Heli, and shook his head, "You were too reckless. This injury could have been avoided."
Qibi Heli snorted but didn't refute. He looked at the young general in white standing not far away, raised his chin and said, "That boy is not bad. I wonder if he is interested in joining our army?"
General Ashina said, "He is not suitable for you. General Xue is the one who is suitable for you."
Xue Bei raised his honest face and smiled at Qibi Heli.
Qibi Heli: ...
After Manbao bandaged him, he went to see the wounded soldiers who were carried in. Most of those who were carried in were seriously injured. Those who were not seriously injured were able to support each other and walk over.
Ashina just looked at the three busy teachers and students, then turned around to arrange the defense.
There are at least 100,000 people in this city. They have only seized a city gate, and it is not certain whether they can defend it, so be careful.
At this time, Prince Gao Er received news from the front line that the west gate had been lost.
His vision went dark, and he almost lost his balance. He leaned on the table to steady himself. With red eyes, he looked at the generals below and asked, "How did the West Gate fall?"
The generals lowered their heads in shame. The captain who had retreated from the west gate cried, "It was Qixi, Prince! They were wearing the clothes of the soldiers in General Qixi's camp. The city guards thought it was General Qixi who had returned, so they opened the gate."
Prince Gao Er was so angry that he picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at him, shouting, "Can't you tell whether they are one of us or not? Don't we have to verify their identities before opening the city gates?"
"Yes, but they also have support inside the city," the captain shirked responsibility and pulled the others down, "Those supporters are General Yuan Yi's men."
General Yuan Yi was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage, "You framed me!"
The captain really didn't frame him. According to normal procedures, even if the army came back at night, even if they were wearing their own armor, they would not open the city gate immediately.
Soldiers will first open the small door and go out to verify their identities and obtain the military order to enter the city, or they will open the city gate only after confirming that it is really the person.
However, General Ashina deliberately chose the middle of the night when everyone was already a little sleepy. When the people on the city wall saw them, they responded with a few words, saying that they had encountered the Jin army on the way, so the team was in some confusion and suffered losses. They did not ask any more questions and directly opened the small door to go out to check.
As a result, just as the soldiers went out and were about to reach the front of the team, the new recruit who had just arrived at the city gate tower to do odd jobs for them rushed out, grabbed the knife and killed the patrolling soldier below.
Then, more than a dozen people suddenly rushed out from the alley and quickly knocked down the people who turned around to capture the new recruits.
In the chaos, the people on the city wall immediately turned their arrows to face inward, and then General Ashina immediately launched an attack, killed the two soldiers who came to verify, and then rode into the city at full speed.
The small gate was only wide enough for one rider to enter, but once inside, they stood together with the people inside and opened the big city gate as quickly as possible.
It's a pity that twenty-two of the twenty-five people died, and three are still trembling under Manbao's needle.
They were really shaking, it hurt after all, and their muscles contracted involuntarily.
Manbao cleaned up the dirt from their wounds and stopped the bleeding and sutured them, then turned to deal with other wounded soldiers.
The bodies of the other twenty-two men were also pulled out. General Ashina and the three survivors said, "You have performed a great service this time. I will commend His Majesty for your contributions."
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes reddened and the corners of their eyes became a little moist.
See you at 10pm
