Chapter 243 The whole army is mobilized
Following the gazes of Yan Shijiu and Wan Chen, Yun Chen saw a team of black-scale cavalry coming towards him.
Like Yun Chen and his team, the opposite team was also a group holding two torches, but there were five people in the team, one more.
Yun Chen looked over with confusion, and the other party also looked at them with confusion.
The two teams gradually met and approached each other, and the torches gradually illuminated each other's faces.
The moment the two sides met, Yun Chen's eyes widened in surprise, and he almost blurted out "Luo Dongdong?"
Luo Dongdong obviously never dreamed of such a terrifying "coincidence". His expression was as if he had seen a ghost and he almost screamed.
But then, Luo Dongdong and the other four couldn't help but grin and laugh.
Being able to meet the "Cloud Tiger" at this time and in this situation is more reassuring than anything else!
Without time to think about it, Yun Chen quickly winked and Luo Dongdong immediately understood.
The two teams instantly intertwined and merged, forming a new team of eight people.
They looked no different from the other Black Scale Cavalry patrols around them.
Everything happened so fast, in the blink of an eye, that it didn't attract the attention of any Black Scale Cavalryman.
As the line gets longer, it becomes safer to talk to each other.
Yan Shijiu asked, "Xiao Yunyun, who is this? Is he someone you know?"
Yun Chen replied, "Yes! They are all from the Lion Army! My soldiers!" Then he lowered his voice and asked Luo Dongdong:
"What's going on with you? Didn't you go into the tunnel? Why are you here?"
Luo Dongdong's face froze and he suppressed his emotions. He didn't dare to say that when they were evacuating from the tunnel, there was a sudden congestion ahead. They were at the end of the team. In order to avoid suffocation, they hurriedly dug a hole in the opposite direction and escaped.
Even though they reacted so quickly and moved so swiftly, only five people survived in the end.
"We didn't have time to retreat and spent a whole day and night looking for a sheep pen!" Luo Dongdong vaguely saw blood on the hands of Yun Chen and the other two, and he knew that both of them should have used the same method to "sneak" into the Black Scale Cavalry.
Looking at the endless black-scale cavalry ahead, Luo Dongdong found a gap where no one was around and asked:
"Boss, are we just going to keep going like this? Straight out of the city gate? No way, there must be someone guarding the city gate!"
"Don't worry, it will be there soon." As soon as Yun Chen finished speaking, he heard a commotion coming from the crowd of Black Scale Cavalry not far away.
Two cavalrymen galloped past, shouting "Fire! Guards, put out the fire! Quick!" and galloped past everyone.
Luo Dongdong knew that using fire to lure the tiger away from the mountain must have been the plan of Yun Chen and the other two, and they had calculated the time of the fire and burning in advance.
But Luo Dongdong was a little worried. Was the fire big enough? Before they could even get three steps away, the Black Scale Cavalrymen spitted out the fire.
Knowing what Luo Dongdong was worried about, Yun Chen raised his eyebrows and Luo Dongdong looked in that direction.
I saw a three-story building emitting billowing black smoke, and flames were spreading out from dozens of different locations.
Summer is already dry, and Yun Chen and the other two deliberately set up multiple fire points. In almost the blink of an eye, the entire building was on fire, with flames shooting up into the sky and scorching waves rolling, which was a spectacular sight.
Now, the attention of all the Black Scale Cavalry was attracted. Those who were close went to put out the fire, and those who were far away watched the excitement. No one noticed that in the dark shadows, Yun Chen and his eight men were quietly moving towards the city gate.
"Boss! You are so awesome! Where did you find so much kerosene to start such a big fire?" Luo Dongdong couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Yun Chen said: "This stuff is more advanced and more durable than kerosene."
"What is it? Tell me!"
"The hair oil used by the girls in the brothels to comb their hair." After Yun Chen finished speaking, Yan Shijiu added:
"There's also lubricant, all over the building, it works great, ouch—"
The last sentence ended with Yun Chen's hard slap.
Seeing that the number of Black Scale Cavalrymen in front of them was decreasing and the city gate was getting closer and closer, everyone finally felt that there was a way to escape and the opportunity was right in front of them, and they were all somewhat excited.
According to the original plan of Yun Chen and the other two, they could not escape from the gap in the city wall near the moat.
Although luring the tiger away from the mountain is effective, Jiao Zuotai is not stupid. Once he discovers a fire, he will immediately send troops to guard all possible exits, waiting to capture Yun Chen and his men alive.
At this time, the main gate of the city became the most easily overlooked place.
According to common sense, the city gate is a place that is difficult to capture even by force, let alone climbing over secretly.
Once the two heavy iron doors, each two feet thick, were closed and numerous sentries stood on the city wall, even a fly would have difficulty flying over.
But most people don’t realize that even such a strong city gate has a weakness.
That was when Yun Chen and Huo Gannian fought against the Black Scale Cavalry for the first time in Guying City, and the city gate was broken into a big hole by the Black Scale Cavalry.
At that time, Jiao Zuotai passed through the cave and killed the defenders of Guying City.
Fortunately, Yan Shijiu led the Dongyan reinforcements to arrive quickly and repaired the city gate.
From then on, this hole in the city gate became the first place of contention between the two armies.
The door was repaired again and again, and broken again and again.
The most recent time the city gate was breached was two days ago, when the Lion Army launched a charge outside the city to rescue the people in the city.
Only two days have passed. Even if the Black Scale Cavalry had time to carefully mix glutinous rice juice and burn bricks to block it, it would not be able to dry out and would not be very solid.
If the blockage is made of stones or debris, it will be easier to deal with, just move them away.
According to Yun Chen and Yan Shijiu's plan, they would first disguise themselves as Black Scale Cavalry and approach the city gate, and then look for an opportunity to destroy the blockade, perhaps they could escape.
It’s a pity that plans are never as good as changes.
Man proposes, God disposes.
When Yun Chen and his eight companions finally reached the city gate and stood in front of it, they were all dumbfounded.
I saw that the city gate had been completely repaired.
The simplest, crudest, and most effective method is:
Use coarse iron to cast at the gap and block the entire hole in a mesh shape.
In order to avoid holes in the mesh, the mesh was stacked at different angles, with a total of four or five layers cast.
From a distance, the city gate looked as if it had never been broken.
"Damn it, this Jiao Zuotai is also a good infrastructure developer?" Yun Chen couldn't help but curse.
The eight people stood at the city gate in a daze, not knowing where to go for a moment.
Fortunately, the black-scale cavalrymen around were all running around with serious faces. No one knew what they were busy with, and no one had the time to pay attention to them.
Not daring to stay where they were and wait for someone to discover them, Yun Chen and the others immediately decided to retreat and find a hiding place first.
The eight people quickly turned around and tried to leave, but suddenly their hearts skipped a beat—
Not far away, Jiao Zuotai was fully armed, holding his spear high, shouting and riding his horse towards the eight people.
He had a sinister look on his face, and his whole body was filled with bloody murderous intent.
Behind him were countless black-scaled cavalrymen swarming towards him.
Discovered?
The eight people all felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
Luo Dongdong spat on the ground and cursed, "The little devil is here to call your name. Boss, let's meet in the next life."
Yun Chen drew his sword and got into a fighting stance, "Alright! Brothers! See you in the next life!"
Yan Shijiu came over and stood in front of Yun Chen. While drawing his sword, he turned back and blinked at Yun Chen, smiling:
"Follow me, stay close to me, we'll die together and be reborn!"
This time, Yun Chen did not scold him. She smiled from the bottom of her heart and nodded vigorously:
"Yan Shijiu, I'm really happy to have met you in this life!"
As he spoke, the Black Scale Cavalry was already in sight, and Jiao Zuotai had already raised his spear high towards the eight people.
It would be a lie to say that I'm not afraid, but God has not left any time for people to be afraid.
Yun Chen and his eight men stood shoulder to shoulder, took a horse stance, and raised their arms and drew their swords.
"Long live Guying City."
I don't know who said this.
I do not ask for the monarch's immortality, I only wish that this ancient border city will live forever and be in peace.
Hearing such an exaggerated yet simple sentence, in an instant, the eight people felt a surge of heroic spirit in their hearts, as if thousands of troops were galloping, and boundless courage rose in an instant.
"Charge!" Luo Dongdong shouted and rushed out first.
The next moment, the shouting stopped abruptly, and Luo Dongdong was kicked away.
Dozens of Black Scale Cavalrymen rushed up from both sides, pushing and shoving the eight people while shouting and cursing:
"Get out of the way! Don't block the general!!"
The eight people were all stunned, watching Jiao Zuotai and countless black-scaled cavalrymen fly past right in front of their noses.
At the same time, accompanied by a heart-pounding hum, the city gate was slowly opened by dozens of black-scale cavalrymen.
From the city gate came loud shouts:
"All troops mobilized! The enemy is attacking!!!"
"All troops mobilized! The enemy is attacking!!!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "boom".
Two huge kerosene bombs exploded into the night sky.
Yun Chen and the other eight looked towards the city gate, and their breathing suddenly stopped and their whole bodies became numb.
Under the dazzling firelight, the Black Scale Cavalry could be seen hurriedly forming their ranks, while opposite them—
It was the Lion-Mighty Army that had quietly attacked the city, advancing like a black mass, with its weapons held in its mouths, and advancing rapidly.
