Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 321

The dawn mist softly enveloped the surrounding fields, and it seemed that even the roar of the Weishui River's violent rush was far away.The sentinels of Jicheng, who had been squatting on top of the high tower for three consecutive hours, were already cold and tired.

Holding the horn, he kept stepping on the spot. Although this would interfere with his hearing and make it difficult for him to concentrate on responding to the enemy, otherwise, he would definitely suffer from typhoid due to the cold.But even so, he has sneezed several times in a row.

What's more, there is no Qianghu army that needs to be monitored now.Early this morning, Han Sui had already led an army of 20 in pursuit of General Tianweishen.Coupled with the Lu Sima appointed by His Majesty, perhaps at this time, Han Sui's 20 army has been wiped out in the Long Snake Valley.

Thinking of the monstrous military achievements of the 20 troops killed by the Han army, the sentinel couldn't help complaining: "My lord is old after all, and now the Han Dynasty is determined to make progress. Dehui is now rising in the ranks, if I participate in that battle, I am afraid that I will not have to worry about my livelihood for the rest of my life, right?"

Forget it, don't think about it, it might be an advantage to be mature and cautious.After all, it was the prudence of the lord Fujun who guarded Jicheng and saved tens of thousands of people.Besides, the guard will be changed soon, and thinking about those useless things will only make me more tired and sleepy.If it wasn't for the cold weather, he would get sick if he fell asleep. He really wanted to take a nap on the watchtower.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw a black shadow flashing in the distance. He was startled, rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, and the thick fog drifted away.Then he clearly saw a few people in variegated clothes standing a hundred paces ahead.When did these people get in front of them?
He was shocked, picked up the horn, and was about to blow it, but found that he couldn't control his throat.Eyeballs suddenly widened to the limit in horror, as if seeing the most terrifying scene in his life.

Countless figures stretched out their hands vaguely from the ground, scraped away the dirt on the ground, and stood up unsteadily one by one.From a distance, this weird scene is like countless dead corpses crawling out of the ground to take revenge!
It's too scary.

Could it be that these soldiers who died on the battlefield were really unwilling to be reincarnated and turned into ghosts to seek revenge?
This sentinel is just a person, he doesn't believe that he has the courage to dare to confront these ghosts.It wasn't until he saw these revived ghosts rushing towards the city wall with their backs bent and in extremely weird postures, that he saw clearly that they were not ghosts at all when the fog was blown away, but one by one. Sandbag soldiers!
They want to fill the river and attack the city!
Suddenly aware of this in the brain, the sentinel was about to blow the horn subconsciously.However, it was too late at this time, and a row of arrows flew over with a sharp sound of piercing the air.Sharp arrow clusters pierced through him, and bright red blood sprayed in the air.

After solving the Sentinels in the Watchtower.As soon as the soldiers in the front row waved their hands, tens of thousands of soldiers followed behind. They quietly dispersed and fanned forward.They were all tall and strong, wearing soft-soled shoes, approaching the moat silently.

The time of dawn is the time when people sleep most soundly.It's also when it's darkest.Taking advantage of the fog and darkness, they cleared away the thorns and antlers in front of the city gate. Then, bags of sand were thrown into the moat of Jicheng like dumplings.Soon, the reason for a moat made of sandbags to penetrate the city was completed amidst the cheers of these people—at this time, they no longer had to be afraid of waking up the defenders of Jicheng.

Stepping on the water-soaked sandbag road, these people took out the zip line from their waists and quickly hooked it on the city wall.Until this time, there was a loud cry from the city wall: "Someone is attacking the city!" However, this cry became his last words, and the Xiliang general Ma Wan, who climbed up the city wall first, beheaded the man with a single knife. The head of a Jicheng soldier.

A shrill cry broke the silence of the night.There were many people in Jicheng, some people broke out of the barracks in disheveled clothes, some people were shouting, war horses began to neigh, and people finally became flustered.However, the news that Han Sui led the army to leave this morning made the defense of the entire Jicheng seem very lax. The hundreds of soldiers on the city wall who seemed to be dealing with official business did not organize effective resistance at all.

"Break the city without leaving any chickens or dogs behind!" Li Kan raised his sword and roared to the sky, his voice was full of complacency and arrogance: "Mr. Han really has a clever plan. He captured Jicheng tonight, and tomorrow we will step into the pass again!"

"Whoa!..." There were continuous cheers and howls, and the soldiers who crawled out of the ground were all crazy like demons.

No one knows what it's like to lie in the soil overnight in this freezing climate.

Before the army set off this morning, Han Sui secretly ordered the soldiers in each tent to start preparations in groups of three.They selected a cold-resistant and healthy Paoze, and laid them down in the pit.The remaining two soldiers walked around deliberately, making the entire army look chaotic.

With more than 20 people, coupled with the scattered formation and the dazzling reflection of the weapons, the commander of the Han army could not even notice that this army was short of 1 people.It is preparing to launch a surprise attack on Jicheng at this dawn.

However, although the plan looks perfect, the preparations for secrecy are also very well done.But even though the ground has long been warmed by fires, the pits are covered with thick furs, and the soldiers drank all the kumiss to drive out the cold when they entered it...

However, at midnight, the cold wind blows into the lungs through the small holes for breathing, as if freezing the entire chest cavity.The soil under the ground quickly became cold and stiff, so that almost one-fifth of their brothers never crawled out of the ground.

The torture of surviving the most difficult death and the battle that can release grievances to the fullest have driven these soldiers into a state of inhuman rage.Although their hands and feet were still a little stiff, and their bodies were a little shaky, their courage and fierce aura had already overwhelmed everything else.

A Han Suijun had no time to dodge and was stabbed by a spear, but before he died, he was full of unwillingness, pulled the spear and jumped out of the city wall with the spearman.

A Han Suijun didn't dodge a hidden arrow, but his cold body didn't seem to feel any pain, and he rushed towards the crossbowman with red eyes until he chopped off the crossbowman's head.

A Han Suijun was cut down to the ground, but he seemed unwilling to die like this. He crawled onto the hand and leg of the knife shield, and bit off a piece of flesh with his teeth...

Under such a desperate attack by the enemy, the morale of the defenders on the city wall was almost defeated just by meeting each other.

"Come on!"

"Kill!"

"Break the city, and I will be happy for three days!"

Ma Wan rushed into the stone stairs at the foot of the city first, but just as he took the first step, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the soles of his feet.He yelled loudly, sat down on the cold stone steps, and angrily pulled out a blood-stained barbed wire from under his feet: "Damn, there are hidden weapons... No, there is an ambush in the city!"

As soon as the words fell, Ma Wan saw a group of Jicheng County soldiers coming under the city at this time. They carried antlers and horse repellents, and formed a simple line of defense to block under the stone ladder.Afterwards, some soldiers carried a few huge braziers to the spearmen, showed their bows and arrows, and ignited the cloth strips soaked in fire oil on the arrowheads on the braziers.

Ma Wan watched all this in horror, but still couldn't figure out what these Jicheng wanted to do.Although killing the enemy with rockets is a good means of defense, but how many arrows can they shoot with just these hundreds of archers?A charge from the army can knock them apart.Not to mention, what stands in front of them is not the sword and shield guards who specialize in protecting the archers, but the spearmen who are more suitable for stabbing and fighting...

However, Ma Wan still had a faint feeling that something was wrong, he reached out his hand unintentionally to touch the stone bricks of the city wall, and suddenly felt something slippery.He took the tip of his nose and sniffed it suspiciously, and his face changed drastically: "No, it's kerosene. Soldiers, follow me!"

There is no doubt that Ma Wan's order is extremely correct.But the problem is that he is the only one who is aware of the danger at present.More soldiers saw those soldiers rushing down the stone ladder in a panic, all jumping and screaming with barbed wire, who would use their bodies to pave the way for others?

As a result, the bow and arrow left the string, and the bright flames traced a dangerous trajectory in the air, just like the splendor of meteors falling.The moment it landed at the end, suddenly the flames blazed, igniting a sea of ​​fire!
