One Thousand and Forty-Four: Lead the Snake Out of the Hole (5)
"What's going on there, don't scare yourself in the middle of the night—"
Hearing this voice, the companions around the pawn were startled, their sleepiness receded by three points, and they rushed forward with even more ferocious vigor.
He let out a breath, and squeezed out two drops of physiological tears from the corners of his eyes, slightly relieving the soreness of his eyes.
"But, but I really heard it—" The soldier looked down the city with his eyes wide open, and the surrounding was pitch black, only the enemy camp in the distance was still burning with a large bonfire, adding a bit of brilliance to the night, " Hey—that's weird, did I really hear it wrong?"
The soldier scratched his unwashed bun for a long time, removed a layer of sticky dandruff with his fingers, and rubbed his hands on his clothes.
"Probably... I really misheard..."
The companion on the side rubbed his arms, trying to warm himself up.
"The weather is so cold that I really don't know when it will be the head."
The soldiers at the bottom have no human rights, do the most tiring work, receive the lowest military pay, and often do not have enough food and clothing.
If everyone is like this, this kind of treatment is not very uncomfortable, and it would be nice to survive in the troubled times.
However, Liu Xi and Huang Song's camp is very lively, and they drink and barbecue at night. They live happier than gods.
We are all cannon fodder in troubled times, so why can I only suffer from hunger while others eat delicious food and drink spicy food?
No harm without comparison!
Every time he thought of this, his already hungry stomach became even hungrier, so hungry that he could hardly even speak.
"Dude, I'll lean back and squat for a while, and if there's something wrong, I'll call out, my stomach is so hungry——"
"Hey! What can be going on right now? You can rest assured for a while, and call you at dawn—"
Liu Xi and Huang Song's camp only cared about eating, drinking and having fun for more than 20 days.
It's the middle of the night, not to mention the turmoil, there is not even a ghost.
The tired guards leaned against the wall and fell asleep, hoping that sleep would warm their bodies and save their energy.
"Ah-"
Feeling drowsy, Han Chang's guard yawned continuously, his consciousness became more and more blurred, and his eyelids were as heavy as lead water.
The whistling cold wind blew, and the snowflakes falling from the sky were rolled up, deviating from the original trajectory.
On this unremarkable night, an arrow pierced the night sky and made a buzzing sound.
The sharp blade pierced into the flesh and blood, and the soldiers who had just seen Duke Zhou opened their eyes wide. An unprecedented chill enveloped him, as if his body had sunk into a millennium cold pool. He tried to open his mouth, but no sound came out of his throat, as if the whole world was silent.
In just one breath, the remaining body temperature was brutally stripped by invisible forces——
It hurts——
so cold——
A brief thought flashed through my mind, and the scene in front of me fell into boundless darkness.
In a trance, he seemed to hear the hoarse shout of his companion, he said——
There is an enemy attack! ! !
The first wave of arrows ended, most of the guards at the top of the city were lost, and the rest were either killed or injured.
"Up the ladder, the archers continue to shoot—are the siege logs ready?"
Clearing out a wave of enemy soldiers, taking advantage of the decrease in guards at the gate of Hanchangguan, we must seize the time to set up the ladder and prepare to climb the wall.
Jiang Pengji led the vanguard, wearing white cloth one by one, and under the cover of the snow and night, they quickly touched the Hanchang Pass.
Han Chang, the gatekeeper, led his troops to sneak attack on the camp. Jiang Pengji naturally wanted to respond in kind.
What is sneak attack?
Take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and attack suddenly.
It not only pays attention to surprise, but also pays attention to "speed", launching a fierce attack when the enemy has no defense.
The terrain of Hanchang Pass is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack, so what?
But no one can guard the gates she wants to break through!
Jiang Pengji made a sudden move, and after a face-to-face meeting, a wave of guards on the city wall died, and the rest of them died.
Someone tried to fight back, someone shouted "enemy attack", and someone gritted their teeth, pulled the bowstring tremblingly with blood-stained fingers, and used their last strength to shoot a loud arrow into the sky—once the loud arrow came out,
The entire Hanchang Pass seemed to be shaken, and the soldiers were in an uproar!
They never thought that the enemy would sneak attack at this time.
but--
The most urgent task is to send troops to increase the city wall and guard the Hanchang Pass, absolutely not allowing the enemy to break through.
"Enemy attack—quick—"
In the middle of the night, many people have fallen into sweet dreams.
I can't sleep without sleep, I'm cold and hungry, if I don't sleep, I might be too hungry to fall asleep.
When there was noise outside, many people reluctantly left the dreamland, left the tightly wrapped quilts, and rushed out of the camp.
When the cold wind blew away the remaining warmth that lingered around them, many people shivered from the cold, and their dazed minds instantly woke up.
How could Jiang Pengji give them a chance to increase their troops?
The archers in ambush in the snow were divided into three rows. The first row finished shooting and the second row followed. After the third row finished shooting, the first row had already drawn their arrows and bows, aiming in the right direction. With this simple tactic, the archers were able to keep the rain of arrows falling towards the city wall of Hanchang Pass without interruption.
With the cover of the archers, the ladder quickly pushed towards the city wall of Hanchang Pass, and the vanguard began to try to attack the city wall.
However, Hanchang Pass can be called a dangerous pass, so it naturally has its geographical advantages.
Han Chang's gate guards were caught off guard, and they almost couldn't react to the rapid attack.
Of course, this is only temporary.
When they reacted, they immediately used the terrain to counterattack.
Jiang Pengji squinted her eyes, her dark eyes fixed on the city wall of Han Chang Pass.
The road in front of Hanchang Pass is not smooth, the terrain is steep and narrow, which is not conducive to the effectiveness of the siege equipment. If Jiang Pengji's siege ladder is not specially made, it may not be of much use. At that time, only the most primitive human tactics can be used, relying on huge casualties to forcibly climb the wall. However, now you can still use the ladder, and then use the bow and arrow to open the way, and the Hanchang Pass is not as difficult as imagined.
When Jiang Pengji was fighting, she started the live broadcast, and 850,000 night owls squatted in the live broadcast room to accompany her.
Fighting and fighting, the audience found that there was something wrong with Han Chang's guards——
[Fengqi Wutong]: Have you noticed—the enemy's fighting power is a bit weak——
[Drinking water and not getting fat]: I don’t feel weak, it’s obvious that our anchor is too strong——
[Gone with the Willows and Flying Catkins]: It is indeed a bit weak. According to this situation, at most half an hour, the anchor will definitely be able to break through. I zoomed in on the camera and found that the soldiers guarding the gate were all a little old, and they looked not in good spirits, as if the entire army was not young and strong.
The careless audience only watched the fighting on the battlefield, and they were excited and excited while watching it in the middle of the night.
The attentive audience found that the enemy's combat strength was different from what they had imagined. They occupied the dangerous pass and were beaten violently by Jiang Pengji.
They were confused, but Jiang Pengji knew it well.
It wasn't that the defensive strength of Hanchang Pass was not high, it was clear that the guards picked off all the elite in order to succeed in the sneak attack.
According to the guard's understanding of Hanchang Pass, even if the remnant soldiers left behind are not as strong as the elite, they can still defend it due to the steepness of the pass.
However, he misestimated the strength of Jiang Pengji and Huang Song, and underestimated the adaptation of the improved ladder to the environment.
