Chapter 1407

As time went by, outside Chifeng City, jinmuzhen led more than ten guards to quietly lurk to a place only 200 steps away from the city wall and carefully observed the situation on the city wall. Sure enough, although the soldiers at the head of the city were still patrolling around the city for several days, there seemed to be movement in the city all night. Because of the dead of night, the sound of movement spread outside the city, Even when they were lurking hundreds of steps away, they heard something from time to time.

At the third watch, all the soldiers and horses involved in the night attack have successively arrived at the scheduled location, which is several miles away from the city wall. Fortunately, there is a faint moonlight tonight, so that the big soldiers of Xianbei who have been on their way all night can barely walk.

After all the taxi 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 gold and wood needles, all the taxi soldiers were awakened one by one. Everyone took out a piece of dried meat from their arms and chewed it silently. After eating the dry food, they began to tidy up their weapons, and then pulled the skirt of the person in front of them one by one and slowly approached the west gate.

When it was more than 300 steps away from the city, it stopped again. Next, we continued to wait. When the city gate was opened, the army could rush into the city.

When the soldiers and horses outside the city were waiting for changes in the city, Xiaoyi and Babu in Chifeng City, in the courtyard not far from the west city wall, also woke up. After eating some food, they also began to prepare to seize the city.

The time agreed with the golden wood needle was the beginning of the fifth watch, that is, at three o'clock in the morning. Soon, everyone in the city had eaten and sat quietly waiting for the last moment of seizing the city.

After a quarter of an hour's rest, Xiao B and barb looked at each other. They gently walked outside the gate, carefully opened a crack in the gate, and then stretched out their heads to look at both ends of the street. There was no abnormality, so they gently sidled out of the crack in the door.

There are no soldiers transporting goods on the streets. It is estimated that everything around the city wall has been sent away. However, there is still movement in some parts of the city.

Make sure that the street is safe. While staring at the direction of the city wall, Xiao B reached behind him and waved. The people inside understood that someone immediately opened all the doors, and then came out one by one.

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

At this time, on the wall of Chifeng City, there were several Duwei and military commander horses in charge of the night watch. According to the rank, they led a thousand soldiers and horses, but now they have only three or five hundred men, and their Sergeants are only one or two hundred, and they are all slightly injured. Basically, they don't need soldiers to fight tomorrow, plus two or three hundred strong men.

There is no way. All the soldiers who can fight are basically resting and ready to deal with the war tomorrow, while those seriously injured are sent to the inner city for treatment. As for the civilian men, most of them are transferred to transport materials.

At this time, the defense of Chifeng City is indeed the weakest time.

Soon, Xiao B and his party sneaked into the shadow of only 20 steps away from the city gate. If they walked further, they were exposed to the torches at the city gate and at the head of the city.

And Bob finally confirmed their respective tasks, Xiao B waved to the people behind him: "go!"

When they heard the speech, they didn't care to hide their body shape. They divided into two teams and rushed in the direction of the wall and the gate.

Finally, a few steps away from the city gate, the soldier guarding the city was awakened by the sudden sound of footsteps: "who, stop! No, the enemy attacked!"

"Kill!" When the Xianbei people and the players who stole the city saw that the Tang soldiers had found themselves, they quickly took out their weapons, shouted and rushed towards their goal.

For a moment, the cry of killing suddenly sounded up and down the wall of the west gate.

"Enemy attack!" The garrison of Chengguan quickly responded, but tonight the garrison were all injured soldiers and civilian men. If it was normal night, the other soldiers would also sleep under the city. In case of any situation, they could come out to support at the first time, but today is different.

First of all, some soldiers returned to the inner city to strengthen the city defense of the inner city. Thinking that 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 agreed to his request.

Another part of the soldiers and civilian men have been busy transporting materials. As a result, the tragedy appeared.

Even if the soldiers guarding the city found the sneak attack group, they were not only energetic, but also the wounded soldiers who were exhausted after guarding for a night. Soon, dozens of defenders in the city were killed by Babu's leaders.

"Come on, open the gate!" After putting down the last Tang army, Babu took out the ring head knife from the Tang army. Regardless of the blood on it, Babu directly inserted it back into the scabbard, greeted his partners and rushed to the city gate together.

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

At this time, the battle on the city wall had become white hot. Although the soldiers at the head of the city fought desperately, they were still killed and retreated step by step in the face of 40 or 50 strong Xianbei people.

Seeing that the city gate had been opened, Babu roared, drew out his weapons and joined the Tang army who tried to rush into the city gate again and wanted to close the city gate again.

When the war began at the gate, the general on duty on the inner city wall found something unusual. He immediately sent someone to the imperial palace to report to the king's gate.

"What? There is a cry of killing in the direction of the west gate? No, there are fine works in the city. There must be Xianbei army outside the city. They want to seize the city in response to external cooperation. Come and assemble soldiers to recapture the city gate immediately." The king turned over and got up, and immediately ordered the guard to wear armor for him.

Before wearing clothes and armor, Wang Jing, who was ordered by the king's gate to recapture the west gate, rushed in and stopped and said, "father, now the materials and relevant personnel in the outer city have almost been transferred to the inner city. If you were going to give up the outer city and retreat to the inner city today, you might as well directly order the soldiers on the outer city wall to withdraw and give up, and try to keep more soldiers, so that you can have a greater grasp of defending the inner city."

Wang Jing's words made the king calm down. Yes, he was going to give up the outer city: "how many soldiers are in the inner city now?"

"Five hundred cavalry, more than 1200 elite soldiers, more than 2000 civilian men, plus more than 1000 lightly injured soldiers." Wang Jing was very clear about the troops in the city and immediately replied;

"Well," said the king's door, gritting his teeth, "send orders and try to withdraw to the inner city. As for those who haven't had time to withdraw from the outer city, they can only ask for their own blessings."
