When he reached the top of the city wall, he immediately reached out from his waist and took out an iron hook with a rope and hooked it into the inside of the city wall. Then he untied the rope, and suddenly a thin rope more than three meters long hung down.
The outpost had been established, and the elite soldiers who had been waiting impatiently jumped up and grabbed the ropes, climbing upwards. When they were sure that the time was ripe, the leader jumped onto the city wall, drew his scimitar and killed the nearest defending soldier.
The soldier obviously had no idea that an enemy would appear in this way at this time. He was unable to react for a moment and was immediately hit in the throat by a knife, and his neck was broken immediately.
This man rode forward and attacked any defending soldier he could see. The elite soldiers who followed him quickly climbed up the city wall, drew their weapons, and soon a fierce massacre broke out on this section of the wall.
Although the people who were hacked to death did not put up any resistance, the wailing they made before they died served as a certain alarm. Soon, a large number of footsteps were heard under the city wall, and it was obvious that the reinforcements from the defenders had arrived.
"Kill! Let's rush to the city together and open the gate!"
The sergeant of this elite team raised his sword and shouted, then immediately charged into the battle, relying on his external training strength to charge and kill while commanding the members of his team.
A group of people quickly approached the stairs on the city wall. As long as they could reach the city gate and open it wide, Huo Ping's vanguard army could capture Shunqing City tonight and achieve a great feat.
But they totally underestimated the veteran general Bao Tianhua. There were enemy troops camped outside the city, so he was very alert. When he heard the noise coming from the city wall, he immediately led his generals and soldiers to rush to the city wall.
"General Bao, the enemy sent people to attack us at night and killed many of us. They are now running towards the city gate." A young commander ran over, covering his arm and said hurriedly.
Bao Tianhua instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that the enemy would be so reckless this time. They chose to launch a night attack after only one day of fighting. This was a bet that Bao Tianhua had not made strict defenses at all.
However, Huo Ping really made the right bet, as Bao Tianhua did not take strict precautions.
"Surround them! Surround them! We must not let those people open the city gate!" Bao Tianhua roared.
…
Qian Jie is a child who grew up in Chang'an. He has never left Chang'an in his life. The outside world is very unfamiliar and novel to him.
After he became an adult, because he had no money to marry, he worked in the inn run by his uncle.
The days had seemed uneventful until half a month ago when he met a mysterious guest.
"Brother, I have been traveling for many days. There is a city ahead. Can I go in and have a rest?" Qian Jie said with a tired look on his face.
If there were an outsider here, they would definitely be surprised as to why this guy was talking to himself.
"Okay, let's take a night's rest." Qin Yuesheng's voice sounded from Qian Jie's body.
Qian Jie immediately felt relieved and quickly ran towards the city. He was too tired and really needed a good rest.
Qian Jie, who was originally an ordinary person, became several levels stronger in physical fitness after being possessed by Qin Yuesheng using the divine travel method.
Both speed and physical strength have been greatly improved.
As Qian Jie got closer and closer to the city in his sight, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the city.
I saw flames rising into the sky from the city walls, which was very dazzling, and it looked like a battle was going on.
Qian Jie was particularly puzzled and had already thought of retreating, but Qin Yuesheng would not allow him to be cowardly at this time and immediately said, "Go up and take a look."
Qian Jie had no choice but to obey Qin Yuesheng's orders and began to slowly climb up the city wall.
When Qian Jie stuck his head out from outside the city wall, he saw that the situation was extremely chaotic, with many corpses lying on the ground and blood flowing on the ground.
Qian Jie trembled all over, his hands and feet became weak, and his head felt dizzy.
"The rebels are heading for the city gate! The rebels are heading for the city gate! Quickly block them through the city gate!"
A group of soldiers shouted in confusion. Qin Yuesheng gave Qian Jie an order: "Go to the city gate and take a look."
"Ah?" Qian Jie was stunned. He was going to die.
"What are you afraid of? I'm here to protect you. Why are you afraid of dying?" Qin Yuesheng said in a decisive tone, "Let's go to the city gate and take a look."
Qian Jie had no choice but to turn over and jump onto the city wall, quickly running towards the stairs.
When there was movement in the city, Huo Ping, who had already made preparations for support, immediately led his army towards the city gate.
The elite soldiers sent by Huo Ping had already squeezed to the city gate with their martial arts skills, trying to lower the bolt and prepare to open the city gate.
But what they never expected was that the gate of Shunqing City was actually rotated by gears and there was no bolt at all.
Only by continuously turning the gears can this huge city gate be opened.
This discovery immediately caused a sense of despair in the hearts of the elite soldiers sent by Huo Ping. Could they really push open the city gate with just such a small number of people?
However, no matter how desperate they were, no one would give up any chance of survival. These people immediately grabbed the gears and pushed them. They could hear the gears creaking and turning very slowly.
It’s too heavy, too heavy.
