Chapter 54 Infiltration
Zhao Kuangyin led people around Yanzhou City and confirmed through the weak firelight in the crack of the door that the north gate of Yanzhou was not blocked. It was ridiculous that the counter-rebellion army was still fighting at the south gate and the west gate for several months.
After confirming the target, Xu Xian sent someone to notify Guo Wei, and took the red scarves to the north gate, asking others to wait in the grass a mile away. He and Zhao Ke quietly touched the base of the city wall.
Zhao Ke put his ear against the city wall, "There are already patrols coming. Listen to these footsteps, dong dong dong!"
"Already knew it!"
"Someone is here again!"
"Already knew it!"
Zhao Ke said displeasedly: "How do you know this, Dutou? Maybe your ears are better than mine."
"My ears are not as good as yours, but my eyes are good. But I miscalculated and forgot that they were patrolling with torches. I could see the flames from a distance. It would be foolish for us to come here and listen to the mosquitoes being fed from the wall."
"What if they don't have torches? Even if they have torches, you won't be able to tell how many people there are. I have to use my ears."
"That's true! Huh? Zhao Ke, why did you get no reply when you spoke?"
Zhao Ke said happily: "Really? It's probably because I spoke to you in a low voice, in a low voice, in a low voice!"
Uh... It's better not to ask. If Xu Xian doesn't remind him, he might have corrected his speaking problem.
The two of them spent half the night feeding mosquitoes under the city wall, just to calculate the patrol time of the defenders and find a good place to climb the city.
Seeing the moon pass in the sky, Xu Xian took Zhao Ke back to the place where everyone stayed a mile away. Zhao Kuangyin swatted mosquitoes on his two white thighs with his hands. When he saw Xu Xian, he complained: "I don't know.
Why, I attract mosquitoes!"
Xu Xian replied casually: "Then you may have blood type C."
"What is type C blood?"
Dakui also came over and asked, "What type of blood do I have?"
"Don't study blood types at this time." Xu Xian glanced at the grass in the moonlight and asked: "Brother Zhao, where are your men and horses?"
Zhao Kuangyin pointed behind him, "In the back, the two thousand elites sent by His Majesty are waiting a mile away. They will not climb the wall, but they will cause trouble."
"That's true!" Xu Xian said: "I have already found a place to go up the wall. It is not far from the city gate. Soldiers who miss the patrol can give us the most time."
He did what he said, and Xu Xian brought more than 300 people with him in red scarves and quietly arrived at the base of the city wall. After waiting for a while, he saw a group of patrolling soldiers passing by.
Xu Xian slowly turned the flying tiger claw in his hand, and found the right opportunity to throw it at the city wall. Hearing a soft ding, he slowly pulled back until he could no longer pull, and then said to the rogue: "
The prick is watching you, remember to tie the rope to the female wall when you get up there."
Although Xiaozi was sorry for his nickname of "tall and strong", he was absolutely no worse than an ape in climbing walls and trees, and Xu Xian had already been outclassed by him.
The raccoon made almost no sound, and climbed up the three-foot-high city wall in a few moments, took off the grappling hook and tied the rope to the female wall.
Xu Xian grabbed the rope and told everyone: "We don't have much time. Come as many as you can. The others are waiting below to open the city gate." When he said this, he actually felt very guilty and not at all sure.
It took only one stick of incense to climb up the city wall. About two hundred people climbed up the city wall. Time was running out. Xu Xian lowered his voice and said to the people below: "There is no time. There is no need to come up again."
I heard Zhao Kuangyin reply in a low voice: "You have to pull me up."
I almost forgot that Zhao Kuangyin couldn't climb the wall. I thought he had come in the morning, so I asked him to tie his waist with a rope, and everyone worked together to pull him up. This tall and burly guy was really heavy. When he got to the top of the city wall, he realized that besides Zhao Kuangyin, there were also
Luo Fubang is a patient with acrophobia.
Xu Xian whispered: "We are all lined up neatly. We are just soldiers on patrol. We are ready to fight at any time after my orders."
Xu Xian and Zhao Kuangyin walked at the front, walking slowly towards the city gate tower not far away. The torches there were bright, and except for a few people standing guard, everyone else was taking a nap against the city wall.
Seeing the city gate tower getting closer and closer, Xu Xian unconsciously clenched the handle of the knife, his chest was pounding, and his heart was beating like a drum. If he said he wasn't nervous, he would be lying. After all, it was a matter of life and death.
If it is really unlucky, having an emperor's spare tire as a companion on the road to Huangquan means that the journey has not been in vain. Of course, it is best to be alive. I hope that Zhao Kuangyin, the real dragon, can bring him great fortune and turn disaster into good luck.
Xu Xian subconsciously turned his head and looked at Zhao Kuangyin next to him. In the dim light, he saw that his expression was resolute and his steps were steady. His calmness in the face of danger really showed some leadership qualities.
Suddenly there was something under his feet, and Xu Xian stumbled accidentally. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have stumbled. But the "thing" that tripped him came out of the way, "It's blinding your dog eyes, there is no way."
You saw me lying here sleeping!"
Xu Xian took a closer look and saw that there was actually a person leaning against the female wall. It was this person's legs that tripped him just now. Now he was startled. He was about to draw a knife to kill the person, but Zhao Kuangyin held down his hand and raised his hand to the ground.
The man said with a smile: "I'm really sorry for disturbing my brother's sleep. We really can't see clearly in this darkness. Why are you sleeping here, brother?"
"It's too stuffy in the house. It's cooler here. Why don't you patrol even use a torch?"
"Hehe...it was originally there, but it was burned out." Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile: "Brother, go on sleeping, we won't disturb you."
"I'm still able to sleep after being woken up by you." The man on the ground said and got up, "Is there anything to eat? I'm really hungry."
Zhao Kuangyin touched his body and took out half a sausage, which Xu Xian had given him before. "Brother, please rest your belly first. It will be dawn in less than two hours."
The man directly threw the sausage into his mouth, chewed it and said vaguely: "There is no good food at dawn. Yan Kunlun saw that there has been no fighting in the past few days, so he stopped the wine and meat for us. It's really
You are so stingy, whatever you gave me to eat was delicious."
"Brother, if you like the dried meat made at home, I still have it at my place. I'll give you some at dawn." Zhao Kuangyin was just being polite, but he didn't expect to meet someone who liked it.
"I'm already so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back. How can I wait until dawn? I'll go down to the city wall with you to get it." The man said and was already leading the way. Zhao Kuangyin and Xu Xian were still in a daze.
, turned around and said impatiently: "You should go!"
Xu Xian and Zhao Kuangyin quickly followed up, looked at each other and slowly drew their swords at the same time, ensuring that he would not even let out a scream before meeting the King of Hell.
