Chapter 158: Seize the Fortress
Li Hao crawled forward slowly on the muddy ground, and from time to time he had to carefully go around the tunnels dug by the Song army on the slope. The armor on his body was wet with mud and water, making it appear heavier.
Like everyone else, he was like a mud monkey at this moment.
However, this adds another layer of protection to them. Even if they are now illuminated by the lights on the city wall, they cannot be discovered at all if they do not observe carefully.
Li Hao's hand touched something, which seemed to be withered grass or a straw rope. He didn't take it seriously. Such a thing was too common in the muddy water. He tried to pull it away with force, but he happened to
You can also use your strength to move forward a little further.
This exertion immediately ruined the situation.
The moment Li Hao exerted force, he knew it was broken.
A crisp ringtone rang in Li Hao's ears. Then the ringtone extended all the way from a few steps in front of him, to the base of the city wall, to the middle of the city wall, to the city wall, and then extended all the way into the city wall.
At this moment, the entire Siwu Village rang with an extremely clear ringtone.
When the first bell rang, Li Hao knew that there was no need to hide anymore. He jumped up and charged towards the city wall dozens of steps away. At the same time, he took off the big bow on his back and stepped out in one step.
, an arrow has been attached to the bowstring.
The ringing of the bell alerted the patrols in the city, and several heads poked out from the city wall.
"Who? Stop!"
At first glance, they are those Xiang soldiers who have no combat experience. If they were experienced soldiers, they would not waste any words at this moment and just greet them with the divine arm bow.
In the middle of the night, you sneaked here, triggered the alarm, and now you launched a charge in the dark. Could it be that you are here to treat someone to dinner?
With a whoosh, the feather arrow in Li Hao's hand shot out like lightning.
On the top of the city, a Song soldier was hit by an arrow in the face, and he fell down from the top of the city. There was a sudden scream of fear on the top of the city. Just as this man fell, another row of crossbow arrows hit the top of the city.
, the few soldiers who poked their heads out suddenly became dead ghosts.
One by one, nooses were thrown out and placed on the battlements. A dozen of the capable soldiers who were fighting for the disaster nimbly pulled the ropes and climbed up.
On the city wall at this moment, in addition to more than a hundred troops, there were only two groups of forbidden troops led by a guard on duty, and they were all in the Tibetan Soldier Cave or the city gate building.
Oshimasa Okayama didn't pay much attention when he heard the alarm bell, because it was not unusual for the alarm bell to be triggered by wild animals, but the screams that followed made his sleepiness disappear in an instant.
When he rushed up to the city wall, he was horrified to see the enemy rushing up in a dark mass.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, sound the gong to warn everyone, everyone is ready to fight!" he shouted.
A shield suddenly appeared in front of him. With two clanging sounds, two arrows hit the shield. When he turned his head, he saw a Song soldier holding a shield and a sword appearing next to him. He was a captain.
"Thank you!" Qiu Zheng roared. When he saw more than 20 of his subordinates rushing out from the cave of the hidden soldiers, the divine arm bows were already loaded with crossbows, and he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. But when he saw those
Xiang Jun, who was as headless as a fly, couldn't help but shook his head.
"Shoot!" Twenty Imperial Guards rushed to the edge of the battlements. They concentrated for a moment, probed their heads, and held down their hair. The moment the crossbow arrows sounded, they retracted. But even so, two people shot under the city the moment they fired the crossbow arrows.
, and suddenly there was no sound.
Both sides used divine arm bows. If they were hit within a few dozen steps, no matter how good the armor was, it would be useless. Moreover, the crossbows under the city were much denser at this time. Even if there were wall stacks on the city to hide, they would still be hit by blind cats.
Two of them were unlucky enough to hit a dead mouse and lost their lives.
This is war.
The sight of dead people and blood instantly caused the Xiang troops on the city to panic.
They actually turned around and ran towards the back.
Qiu Zheng was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he didn't bother to deal with them at this time, because he saw the nooses flying up one by one and being put on the wall stacks. Without even looking, he knew that the enemy was climbing.
"Cut the rope!" he shouted.
Siwu Village was also in chaos at the moment.
The moment the bell rang, the middle-aged man in the lead knew that something was wrong. He immediately picked up a jar and slammed it on the door of a house. With a bang, the thick smell of grease wafted out.
He reached out again, pulled out a torch and threw it out. With a bang, the fire started, sealing the doors and windows tightly.
Dozens of houses suffered the same fate at this moment.
And these houses are the dormitories of the Imperial Guards in Siwu Village.
They can know this, of course, thanks to Niu Er.
Of course, the middle-aged man did not expect that these fires would burn all these soldiers to death. All he wanted was a little time.
After lighting these fires, he immediately led some people and rushed to the city gate. There would be at least a small group of soldiers stationed at the city gate cave. Now they were going to kill these people and open the city gate.
Ergouzi jumped up when the bell rang. He was Wan Fuyang's private soldier and lived alone in a small room. When he rushed out of the room, he happened to see those black shadows setting fire to the barracks of the Forbidden Army.
Shocked, he turned around and rushed to Wan Fuyang's room.
Wan Fuyang was purring heavily, but he still didn't wake up.
"Du Jian, Du Jian!" Ergouzi yelled and pulled, but did not wake up Wan Fuyang. In desperation, he picked up a basin of water next to him and splashed it on Wan Fuyang's face.
Wan Fuyang jumped up.
"Captain, enemy attack!" Ergouzi looked at Wan Fuyang who had woken up, shouted loudly, took Wan Fuyang's knife from the wall and threw it to him.
Although he was still a little confused, at this moment, the flames soaring into the sky in the village, the screams that could be heard from time to time, and the sound of crossbows piercing the air all made Wan Fuyang understand that something serious had happened.
"Let's go!" he yelled and rushed out.
As soon as Er Gouzi stepped out of the door, a ray of sword light came from the sky. Before he could dodge, Er Gouzi's head flew up, and his headless body fell to the ground with a thud.
If Wan Fuyang was the first to rush out, he would definitely be the one who died.
"Er Gouzi!" Wan Fuyang howled, holding the knife in both hands, and stabbed it straight out. The knife broke through the thin door. He exerted force with both arms, and the door panel cracked and fell to both sides. A spy was ambushing outside.
His eyes widened, he never thought that Wan Fuyang would actually kill him like this.
Drawing his knife and kicking the corpse away, Wan Fuyang rushed outside, then ran towards the city wall. "Follow me, follow me!"
As he ran, he shouted loudly.
The Imperial Guards who ran out of the burning barracks, disheveled and carrying swords and guns, followed Wan Fuyang towards the city. At this time, there was no time to put on armor, and it was unknown whether anyone died in the fire.
However, it was too late after all.
The city gate was now open, and groups of armored soldiers from the Dingnan Army rushed in.
"Kill them, drive them out!" With no other choice, Wan Fuyang waved his sword and took the lead in charging forward.
The sound of killings in Siwu Village was loud and the fire was blazing.
When it was daylight, the shouts of killing finally faded away, and Siwu Village finally became quiet. Li Hao stood on top of the city with his scarred knife, wanting to laugh, but he didn't.
He came out and finally sat down on the ground, panting.
There are corpses everywhere and blood everywhere.
"Major General, we have more than 380 brothers left!" An officer covered in blood came over, "The enemies in Siwu Village have basically been eliminated, but many have escaped, and the brothers have no energy to pursue them.
Already."
"No need to chase, just take down the stronghold. Let the brothers rest quickly and get some food. The nearest Song army is only forty miles away from here. It will only take a day to arrive. We have to prepare to defend
." Li Hao said.
"Isn't the commander arriving soon?" the officer asked.
"According to the plan, we should arrive at noon today, but no one can say whether something will go wrong, so we still have to do what needs to be done. By the way, have Wan Fuyang's body been found?"
"No!" The officer shook his head: "It seems that he escaped. At the end of yesterday, this guy led a group of people to break out towards Nancheng. They are familiar with the terrain of the stockade, and they may have escaped from somewhere."
Li Hao felt a little regretful: "This guy is pretty good at fighting."
Last night's fight, Wan Fuyang left a deep impression on Li Hao. If he hadn't been an insider, and if Wan Fuyang had been allowed to take a stand, even if there were only a few hundred forbidden troops in the village, he would definitely not be able to defeat him.
From Siwu Village. Last night, this guy started a fight with his own team almost shirtless. Even so, he killed more than ten of his own men. This guy is indeed a good player. If he can catch
If you can live and subdue, you can become a powerful helper.
Pity!
"Major General, what should we do with those caught?"
"Lock them up first, and then take them back after the incident is over. My second uncle has been saying that there are few people farming in Xiazhou, so take them back to farm!" Li Hao said with a smile.
Last night, many people surrendered. These people should be Xiang troops. Li Hao couldn't see these people fighting, but they should be good at farming.
Wan Fuyang did indeed escape.
At this moment, he was being swallowed by regret.
It was obvious that something was wrong when Fan Yifei didn't come back. Why was he so careless?
Why did I drink myself unconscious?
If you were guarding the city, how could all of this happen?
By the way, internal response, the enemy has internal response.
Niu Er is a spy.
Wan Fuyang was raging with rage, but now, there were only a dozen brothers left who were also bloody and stabbing. He had already sent out the few brothers who were quick and agile to ask for help from the surrounding villages.
