- "Woo~~Woo~~~"
Two long trumpet sounds came from the distance. It was nightfall, and in front of the closed gate of Tianchi City in the distance, the horns blown by the city guards actually passed through a distance of several miles and reached the camp on the side of the Imperial Court of Daxia.
On the tower of Tianchi City, a group of soldiers guarding the city looked into the distance and talked to each other.
¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on, but I feel weird today, as if something is wrong.¡± A soldier said, rubbing his head.
"Yes, it turns out you feel this way too! When I was on sentry duty during the day, I vaguely saw a dark patch of darkness in the distance, with shadows like human figures. I don't know if it was an illusion."
"Listening to what you said, I seem to have noticed something." Another soldier joined the conversation. As he spoke, he pointed to the distance below the city: "Look over there, is it different from usual? , like there¡¯s something!¡±
The soldiers looked around one after another. The horizon in the distance seemed a little different from the past, but it didn't seem to be any different.
¡°Let¡¯s see, let¡¯s send two people out of the city to have a look, and at the same time report to the general so that the brothers who are keeping vigil tonight will be more vigilant.¡±
"Okay, just do it like this, it's foolproof."
¡¡
As night falls, the Black Armor Army barracks in the Imperial Court of Great Xia becomes lively.
Large troops from the rear arrived one after another and joined Ren Xiaoyao's three thousand vanguard battalion. In this expedition, not all the 100,000 black-armored troops were dispatched, only 30,000 horses were used. However, even though there were only 30,000 horses gathered in the boundless wilderness, they still occupied an area that stretched for several miles!
At this moment, there was not a single torch lit in the huge camp, and it was all hidden in the dark night, lest the enemies on the wall several miles away see the light and become vigilant.
The hooves of all war horses are wrapped with a layer of linen to prevent them from making too much noise. There is also a rope around the horse's mouth to prevent the horse from neighing.
No sergeant was allowed to make loud noises. Those who really couldn't control their mouths would bite a branch in their mouths to avoid speaking. Even if several generals from the front army and the rear army exchange news and deliver orders, they still need messengers to run back and forth and whisper the news.
" In this way, the soldiers of the Black Armored Army have endured for three hours.
"Young Marshal, how long do we have to wait? My brothers are all holding it back!"
"That's right, young marshal, we would rather go to the front line and fight for glory than hold it in like this any longer!"
"Except for the two scouts who just killed Xiliang Kingdom and came to inquire, I haven't seen any other Xiliang soldiers! I really can't bear it anymore"
Beside Ren Xiaoyao, several soldiers complained.
"The whole army is stationed in place and no one is allowed to make a loud noise" was the order given by Ren Xiaoyao. At first, the soldiers understood it very well. After all, concealment and suddenness are very important in marching operations. But no one expected that Ren Xiaoyao made everyone hold it in for three hours, and he still had no intention of canceling the order!
¡°Looking at it like this, is the young marshal planning to let us hold it in all night?
This is the thought of many soldiers.
Ren Xiaoyao completely ignored the soldiers' complaints and just sat there quietly, using every minute and every second to practice. However, seeing his indifferent expression, the soldiers also secretly speculated that the young marshal probably already had a plan, so he was so calm and composed.
Another half hour passed.
It¡¯s almost dawn, the stars have dimmed, and the moon has quietly disappeared. At this moment, it is the deepest darkness before dawn, the darkest moment of the day!
Many soldiers in the army were dozing off, but they were suddenly woken up by people around them. At the same time, they heard a word in their ears: "Hush, be silent! Pass the command from the young marshal, and the whole army will advance quickly to attack the city in a surprise attack!"
"Hush, be silent! Pass the command from the young marshal, and the whole army will advance rapidly to attack the city in a surprise attack!"
¡¡
This sentence spread like a virus from word to mouth among the soldiers, and every soldier who heard it had an excited reaction: His grandma had been holding it back all night, and this moment finally came!
The entire black-armored military camp was filled with high fighting spirit, because the soldiers had waited too hard for this moment! At the same time, they still maintained great concealment - no one made a loud noise, and not even the horses made too much noise.
Within a moment, the military order had reached everyone's ears. Ren Xiaoyao took the lead and rode towards Tianchi City.
A thousand cavalry, galloping in front, all carrying siege equipment - Originally, in a siege battle, cavalry was of little use, because the cavalry was better at the impact of charging into the battle, and?Mobility in action warfare. But at this moment, due to Ren Xiaoyao's flexible arrangement, the usually noble cavalry became transport troops.
Following closely behind the cavalry were two thousand infantrymen, all of whom also ran wildly. The entire vanguard battalion of 3,000 people was fully mobilized and quickly approached Tianchi City!
The first line of defense outside Tianchi City is a moat ten meters wide and several meters deep.
Arriving in front of the moat, without any orders from Xiaoyao, the five hundred cavalrymen in front took action and unloaded their equipment from their horses. Just a moment later, they used these equipment to build eight pontoon bridges, each of which could support a cavalryman! After setting up the pontoon bridge, the five hundred cavalrymen in front got out of the way, allowing the five hundred cavalrymen behind to pass quickly.
The next second line of defense is naturally the high city wall and the closed city gate.
The surface of the city wall is so smooth that it is impossible to climb it with bare hands; and the so-called city gate is actually a huge suspension bridge, which is twenty meters high and ten meters wide. It is made of pure steel and weighs one million kilograms! The suspension bridge is controlled by complex pulleys and iron cables. On weekdays, the suspension bridge can be lowered and the bridge body will extend directly to the other side of the moat; at night, the suspension bridge can be folded up to become an insurmountable gate.
The five hundred cavalrymen behind came to the city wall and took down their siege equipment.
"Dong, dong, dong"
With a slight collision, a series of ladders were set up under the city wall. The ladders can go up to a height of twenty meters, and you can climb directly to the city wall!
At the same time that the ladder was set up, the follow-up infantrymen who climbed the city had also arrived at the foot of the city.
The infantrymen who climbed the city climbed up the ladders one after another and quickly climbed up the city wall.
At this moment, on the city wall, the Xiliang soldiers responsible for guarding the city had no idea. Some of them were napping, and some were simply snoring like thunder. They listened to the warning from the soldiers guarding the city during the day that something might happen tonight, so they worked hard all night and were on guard. But a whole night passed, and the vague-looking shadow in the distance remained unchanged. The two soldiers sent out to inquire about the situation also disappeared as if they had disappeared into the sea Seeing that the sky was about to light up, how could it be seen? What's the surprise?
But just when they relaxed their vigilance, something unexpected happened
There were a hundred soldiers in the first batch of soldiers who boarded the city. Each one of them was an elite carefully selected by Ren Xiaoyao. Their strength had reached the seventh level of Ningxuan Realm and above, which was considered to be the best qualification among ordinary people. When a hundred elites climbed onto the city tower, the first thing they did was to quietly go to the defenders, take out the daggers they had prepared, and wipe out their throats!
"The poor soldiers who guarded the city had been guarding the city for a whole night, but now they could only quietly meet the God of Death in their sleep.
On the city wall, all the soldiers on guard duty were quietly killed without exception. Immediately afterwards, more soldiers climbed onto the city tower. Some entered the fortifications below the city tower and continued to massacre the soldiers defending the city. Others quickly descended into the city to open the city gate and lower the drawbridge from the inside.
"No, the enemy is attacking!"
Finally, a Xiliang soldier shouted loudly before he was killed, waking up more Xiliang soldiers. Until this moment, the Xiliang soldiers got up in a panic, hurriedly put on their helmets, picked up their weapons, and either resisted or fled.
But the Xiliang soldiers discovered it too late.
At this moment, dozens of black armored troops from the Pioneer Battalion have arrived at the city gate. They killed all the soldiers guarding the city gate and cut off the iron cables that tied the suspension bridge!
"Boom!"
With a loud noise like a mountain falling, the suspension bridge suddenly fell, and the gate of Tianchi City opened. Likewise, this loud noise also woke up all the soldiers in the city.
At this moment, Ren Xiaoyao, who had been directing everything outside the city gate, drew out the green sword from behind and pointed towards the sky: "Charge, kill!"
"rush!"
"kill!"
Behind Ren Xiaoyao, there was a burst of shouts of killing that shook the earth. Ren Xiaoyao took the lead, crossed the suspension bridge, and quickly rushed into Tianchi City. A group of cavalry and a large number of infantry also rushed into the city gate.
Facing the Xiliang soldiers who had abandoned their helmets and armor and whose fighting spirit was extremely low, the soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion fought without mercy and fought bloody. Every time the sword in Ren Xiaoyao's hand strikes, a life can be taken away!
"ah¡¡"
With a scream, Ren Xiaoyao chopped off the head of a small leader of the Xiliang Army with a sword. A large cloud of blood sprayed out, and the round head spun on the ground! There was no expression on Ren Xiaoyao's face. He retracted his sword and continued running towards the next target.
The city gate has been broken, and the soldiers guarding the city have basically given up on defense and are only interested in evacuating and escaping.Life.
Under this circumstance, the Black Armored Army basically did not receive much resistance and rushed forward like a broken bamboo!
After half an hour of fighting, the battle at the city gate was basically over. After rough statistics, Ren Xiaoyao's Pioneer Battalion suffered only dozens of casualties, nearly half of which were minor injuries that could be cured. As for the defenders of Xiliang Kingdom, hundreds of people were killed on the spot, and nearly a thousand people trampled on each other while fleeing in a hurry, causing casualties!
