Chapter 1403: Night Attack and Seize the City

"Three Kingdoms Online Game: The Battle of Princes ()"

Time passed bit by bit. Outside Chifeng City, Jin Muzhen led a dozen guards and quietly lurked only two hundred steps away from the city wall, carefully observing the situation on the city wall. Sure enough, although the soldiers on the top of the city were still patrolling at night as they had done in the past few days, there seemed to be movement in the city all night. Because it was late at night, the sound of the movement was transmitted to the outside of the city. Even they who were lurking a few hundred steps away could hear some movement from time to time.

At three o'clock in the morning, all the soldiers and horses participating in the night attack had arrived at the designated location one after another. It was still several miles away from the city wall. Fortunately, there was still a faint moonlight tonight, so that the Xianbei soldiers who were traveling all night could barely walk.

After all the soldiers arrived, they lay quietly on the grass to rest under the arrangement of the generals of each department. An hour later, under the reminder of Jinmuzhen, all the soldiers were awakened one by one. Everyone took out a piece of dried meat from their arms and chewed it silently. After eating dry food, they began to organize their weapons, and then pulled the clothes of the person in front of them one by one, and slowly approached the west gate.

When they were more than 300 steps away from the city, they stopped again. Next, they continued to wait, waiting for the city gate to open, and the army could rush into the city in one go.

Just as the soldiers outside the city were waiting for the changes in the city, Xiaoyi and Babu had also woken up in the yard not far from the west wall of Chifeng City. After eating something, they also began to prepare to capture the city.

The time agreed with Jinmuzhen was the beginning of the fifth watch, which was about three o'clock in the morning. Soon, everyone in the city had eaten and sat there quietly waiting for the last moment of capturing the city.

After a quarter of an hour of rest, Xiao Yi and Babu looked at each other, and the two of them walked gently to the outside of the gate, carefully opened the gate a crack, and then stretched their heads to look at both ends of the street. They found nothing unusual, so they gently squeezed out through the crack of the door.

There were no soldiers transporting supplies on the street. It was estimated that the things around the city wall had been sent away, but there were still some places in the city that were moving.

After confirming that the street was safe again and again, Xiao Yi stared at the direction of the city wall and waved his hand behind him. The people inside understood, and someone immediately opened all the gates, and then walked out one after another.

However, after they came out, they just walked slowly along the wall of the street towards the city gate, carefully hiding their figures in the shadows of the buildings next to the street.

At this time, on the walls of Chifeng City, there were several captains and military commanders who were responsible for night watch. According to their ranks, they commanded a thousand-man army, but now they only had three to five hundred men, and among them, there were only one or two hundred soldiers, and they were all slightly injured and basically did not need to participate in the battle tomorrow, plus two or three hundred strong men.

There was no way. All the soldiers who could participate in the battle were basically resting and preparing for tomorrow's battle, while those seriously injured soldiers were sent to the inner city for treatment. As for the civilians, most of them were transferred to transport supplies.

The defense of Chifeng City at this time was indeed the weakest.

Soon, Xiao Yi and his party sneaked into the shadow only twenty steps away from the city gate. If they walked further, they would be exposed to the torches at the city gate and the top of the city.

After confirming their respective tasks with Babu, Xiao Yi waved to the people behind him: "Go!"

Upon hearing this, the people did not care about hiding their bodies, and divided into two teams, rushing towards the city wall and the city gate respectively.

Finally, a few steps away from the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city were awakened by the sudden footsteps: "Who, stop! Oh no, enemy attack!"

"Kill!" Seeing that the Tang soldiers had discovered them, the Xianbei people and the players who stole the city quickly drew their weapons, shouted, and rushed towards their goal.

For a moment, the shouts of killing suddenly rang up and down the walls of the west city gate.

"Enemy attack!" The defenders of the city gate quickly reacted, but the soldiers and civilians who were guarding the city tonight were all injured. If it was a normal night, the rest of the soldiers would sleep under the city. Once there was any situation, they could come out to support at the first time, but today was different.

First, some soldiers returned to the inner city to strengthen the inner city's defense. Because they thought they would return to the inner city to defend the city the next morning, Wang Jing suggested that these soldiers rest in the inner city. Wang Men thought so and agreed to his request.

Another part of the soldiers and civilians were busy transporting supplies, so the tragedy happened.

Even though the soldiers guarding the city discovered the group of people who were attacking by surprise, they were resting their strength while the wounded soldiers who were exhausted after guarding the city for a whole night were killed by Babu and his men soon.

"Quick, open the city gate!" After Babu knocked down the last Tang soldier, he pulled out the ring-headed knife from the Tang soldier, and put it back into the sheath without caring about the blood on it. He called his companions and rushed to the city gate together.

Soon, more than a dozen strong Xianbei people rushed forward and lifted the heavy door bar with Babu, and more than 20 people picked up their weapons and turned to the direction of the city, ready to stop the Tang army rushing from all sides to prevent them from opening the city gate.

At this time, the battle on the city wall had also heated up. Although the soldiers at the top of the city resisted desperately, they were still killed and retreated step by step in the face of forty or fifty strong Xianbei people.

Seeing that the city gate had been opened, Babu roared, drew out his weapon, and joined the Tang army who tried to block the city gate and tried to close it again.

When the fighting started at the city gate, the general on duty on the inner city wall noticed something unusual and immediately sent people to the prefect's mansion to report it to the king's gate.

"What? There are killing cries from the west gate? No, there is something going on inside the city, and there must be Xianbei troops outside the city. They want to work together from inside and outside to seize the city. If someone comes, immediately gather the soldiers to take back the city gate." Wang Men stood up and immediately gave orders. The guards put armor on him.

Before he could put on his armor, Wang Jing, who had been ordered by Wangmen to retake the west gate, rushed in and stopped him: "Father, now the materials and related personnel in the outer city have been almost transferred to the inner city. I was planning to give up today." For those who retreat to the inner city in the outer city, it is better to directly order the soldiers on the outer city wall to withdraw, just give up, and try to retain as many soldiers as possible, so that we can have greater confidence in defending the inner city. "

Wang Jing's words made Wangmen calm down immediately. Yes, he was about to abandon the outer city: "How many soldiers are there in the inner city now?"

"Five hundred cavalry, more than 1,200 elite soldiers, more than 2,000 civilians, plus more than 1,000 lightly or seriously injured soldiers." Wang Jing was very aware of the military situation in the city and immediately replied;

"Okay," Wang Men heard and gritted his teeth and said, "Send someone to pass the order and try to withdraw to the inner city. As for those in the outer city who have not had time to withdraw, they can only ask for their own blessings."
