Chapter 1,201 The War Begins
When the first ray of rays of light fell on the earth in the morning, it was exactly 3:30. Chen Laosan yawned and walked out of the tower. He was a commander of the Zhao army, but only a commander of the county soldiers, not an elite soldier. The commander of the barracks, so the task of guarding the city gate fell on them. Last night it was their turn to guard the city gate. In the first half of the night, it was Team A, and in the second half of the night, it was handed over to Team B. As for him, the commander, He must have just slept.
It has been three years since they were transferred to Gaoping Pass. There were originally 400 soldiers and 600 county soldiers in the pass, but there has been no war in these years. In addition, there is no money to be made in Gaoping Pass, so many of them have backers. All the people were transferred away, leaving only these unrelated guys who stayed here honestly.
The leading commander of Gaoping Pass, whose surname is Gao, is also a guy whose father does not love his mother, and he was placed here because he offended him. After several years, there are now only 300 soldiers and more than 400 county and state soldiers left in Gaoping Pass. There are more than 700 people in total. The officials are also happy to do this. The extra 300 soldiers are paid by these The generals divided it up.
Chen Laosan and his group now have only about sixty people. Of the thirty or so extra soldiers, ten are given to captains, five are given to commanders, five are kept for themselves, and ten more are given to captains. The next one will be divided by the chief and corps commander below. If this happens, everyone will be happy.
Seeing that it was time to open the city gate, Chen Laosan thought about taking the opportunity to make some more money after opening the city gate. You must know that Gaoping Pass has two gates, and each gate is guarded by Yitun County soldiers, and there are many people inside the pass. There are six villages, so they can take a turn every twenty days, but today happens to be the last day of the month for their village.
Following Chen Laosan's instructions, the city gate was slowly opened with a rumble. The soldiers inside the city gate put a worn-out wooden horse outside the city gate and were about to greet the people inside and outside the city. , suddenly, a shout came from the top of the city tower: "Tun...tunnel chief...you...come and see..."
Chen Laosan had just reached the base of the city wall and was about to reach the city gate when he was stopped by shouts from the city tower. He couldn't help but cursed: "Skinny monkey, you are screaming so much! You are calling for mourning!"
However, despite the scolding, Chen Laosan still went up to the city wall. Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly saw smoke and dust rising from the west. Along with the smoke and dust appeared the dark cavalry inside, and the louder and louder shouts. The rumble of horse hooves.
"Cavalry...cavalry..." Chen Laosan jumped up and shouted: "Sound the alarm! Hurry...quickly...close the city gate quickly!"
Chen Laosan's reaction was relatively quick, but his soldiers were unable to react at once. We have been at Gaopingguan for several years. It is impossible to say that there is anything unfamiliar within ten miles around. There are only high mountains to the west, but today thousands of cavalry suddenly appeared.
"when……"
As a burst of bells rang, the whole pass was like an explosion. Chaos instantly broke out. It was the peak time for leaving the pass in the morning. People living in the pass were preparing to leave the city at the gate. Hundreds of people were crowded in. In the closed doorway, a sudden alarm bell made everyone panic. After the gatekeepers were stunned for a long time, they hurriedly drove away the crowd and prepared to close the city gate. This made the city gate even more chaotic. Everyone moved towards the gate. The soldiers who were closing the city gate were almost pushed aside, making it impossible to close the city gate in time.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Do it!"
Immediately afterwards, a cold light suddenly appeared, and the middle-aged man next to a soldier suddenly became angry. A short blade suddenly appeared in his hand. Before the soldier could react, the short blade had already passed through his neck. The soldier collapsed to the ground and died before he could react.
The death of this soldier kicked off the massacre. Suddenly, dozens of men in Tsing Yi, each with a sharp knife in hand, rushed towards the nearest soldier Zhao.
"puff!"
"kill……"
"Ding Dong..."
"Killed..."
for a time,
There were shouts of killing in the city gate, and all twenty of Zhao's soldiers were killed in a matter of seconds. It was the Shadow Guards led by Shi A who took action. After controlling the city gate, Shi A left twenty or thirty soldiers behind. The Shadow Guard then shouted to the others: "Come with me and kill on the tower!"
…
What happened inside the city gate cave immediately alarmed Chen Laosan and a group of soldiers on the city wall. At this time, everyone did not understand that enemy spies had already sneaked into the pass. When Chen Laosan saw this, he shouted: " You guys, hurry up and pull up the suspension bridge. You lead the soldiers to block the passage to the city. Don't let them climb the city wall... Hurry..."
While shouting, Chen Laosan commanded his soldiers to quickly form an array at the entrance to the city, trying to block the enemy troops who were about to attack the city wall. He believed that he only needed to pull up the suspension bridge, and then block the group of spies. Under the city, it didn't take a quarter of an hour for hundreds of soldiers in the city to rush to the tower to support themselves.
But what Chen Laosan didn't understand was that if they were ordinary soldiers, his move would still work, but these rangers who sneaked into the city were extraordinary skillful rangers, and the leader was the chief disciple of Wang Chao, the greatest knight in China. For ordinary soldiers, the shields that were like walls did not pose much of a problem to the Shi'azhu people, especially since there was only a thin layer of shield array.
Seeing that the soldiers in front had blocked his way, Shi A shouted: "Some people, help me!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked back more than ten steps towards the city. As soon as he finished speaking, two shadows stepped forward quickly. They clasped their hands together to form a hand, and then their whole bodies sank slightly. Waiting quietly for Shi A. I saw Shi A retreating more than ten steps, turning around again, and running towards the two people in front. When he rushed to the two people, Shi A jumped up, stepped on the two people's hands with one foot, bent his knees slightly, He shouted loudly: "Get up!"
After hearing the order, the two shadows immediately stood up. They used their four hands to use the force to hold up a move and threw Shi'a's whole body upwards. Shi'a then took advantage of the situation and slammed his legs, and his whole body was like an arrow leaving the string. , flying towards the back of the shield wall composed of more than ten Zhao soldiers at the head of the city.
It was too late to say, but it was so fast. In this flash of lightning, Shi'a's man had jumped more than ten feet high and jumped behind the shield wall. Chen Laosan on the city wall was stunned and waiting for him. When he reacted, Shi A had already taken advantage of the situation to reverse his body in the air and landed behind the shield wall. The long sword on his body was like a poisonous snake spitting a message, stabbing towards Sergeant Zhao who was defending the sky behind him.
Caught off guard, three of Sergeant Zhao's soldiers were stabbed to death by Shi A on the spot. A large piece of the tight shield wall was instantly vacant. A group of shadow guards who had been waiting for an opportunity under the shield wall immediately spotted this gap. Several people cooperated with each other and rushed into the Zhao army with a shout.
