Chapter 465 Gecko
Two more.

Standing in the heavy rain, Wang Dechen looked up, held the knife in his hand, and shouted: "Let's go!"

There was no sound of drums or horns, military orders were sent out one after another, and five thousand elite Mongolian troops quietly climbed to the Qisheng Gate in the northwest of Diaoyu City.

The mountain road was slippery and difficult to walk, but Wang Dechen walked ahead without saying a word.

After reaching the mountainside, every time he took a step, he had to tie the rope tied around his waist to the big rock beside him. When he walked up and stood firm, the soldiers behind him could untie the rope and throw it towards him.

Attacking the mountain in such weather is naturally miserable.

But in Wang Dechen's view, this rain is a god-sent opportunity.

On a rainy day, the Song army on the mountain must be relaxed, and it is absolutely unexpected that he will attack the mountain...

After marching for a long time, at the third watch, the Mongolian army finally climbed to a slightly wider place on the mountain to rest.

Wang Dechen wiped the rain from his head, and with a stern tone, he ordered: "Zhao Chongxi, Shahu, you lead troops to attack Qishengmen in a sneak attack; Shi Moshuhu, you and I follow up with most of the ladders."

"Yes."

"Tonight, the Diaoyu City will be taken for the Great Khan."

When the discussion is over, Zhao Chongxi will climb up immediately.

Although Zhao Chongxi's surname is Zhao, he is actually a descendant of Ji Siluo. His ancestors once attached to the Song Dynasty, were given the surname Zhao, and then descended to Mongolia.

Zhao Chongxi is very skilled. He once served as a guard for Kuo Duan, and was later rewarded to Wang Dechen, who was promoted by Wang Dechen as a capable general.

He climbed cliffs extremely well, and was known as the "Gecko" in the army.

During the days of attacking Diaoyu City, Wang Dechen asked him to select soldiers who were good at mountaineering in the army to form a [-]-man army.

The reason for this night's surprise attack.

……

In the heavy rain, Zhao Chongxi and Shihu led more than a hundred people to climb over the wet rocks and look up.Sure enough, in the rainy night, there were no soldiers of the Song army guarding the city on the top of the city.

"good chance."

Zhao Chongxi grinned and began to climb the city wall without using a rope ladder.

He really looks like a gecko, with a dangerous aura about him.

Finally, Zhao Chongxi touched the battlements of the Qisheng Gate of Diaoyu City with his fingers along the cracks in the rock...

~~
Behind Qisheng Gate is Ma Junzhai.

It is called "Horse Army", but in fact there are no cavalry on the mountain city.It got its name because the mountain looks like a saddle.

Majunzhai is a Tujia village whose ancestors are Ba people. They have lived here for generations, fishing and farming, and live next to the Han people. The language and customs are almost the same as those of the Han people.

At that time, Yu Jie built Diaoyu City with the advice of brothers Ran Jing and Ran Pu.The Ran brothers went up the mountain many times, persuaded Ma Junzhai, and agreed to let the Song army go up the mountain to station in the village, and live with the Zhaibing soldiers to keep the same safety.

The Song Army brought a large amount of materials and farming technology, and Ma Junzhai also helped the Song Army defend against the enemy.

In the past 15 years, the defenders of Ma Junzhai and Diaoyu City are no different from a family.

The current village owner, named "Luo Wangshan" in Chinese, is both Wang Jian's subordinate and Wang Jian's friend.

On this rainy night, Luo Wangshan's rheumatism legs hurt badly, and he sat in the cave, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Tomorrow, you take the two children to live in the inner city. I've made an agreement with General Wang." He said that for no reason.

"Don't go."

Luo Wangshan's wife, Aji, responded crisply, "Where are you, where am I?"

"Alas." Luo Wangshan sighed: "Not only your wives, but also the women and children in the village have to move in. Only the men can guard the city with peace of mind."

"Then move." Aji said, "But I will stay with you."

She was standing by the bed so that the two children would not fall off the bed.Four-year-olds are boys and two-year-olds are girls.

"One day, if the Tartars break through the city wall..."

Aji didn't wait for Luo Wangshan to say anything else, he turned his head and said, "Come up this mountain, if you have the ability, you can climb up again. I, a woman, can lift stones and kill these tartars."

Her name means "rock foot". When her mother gave birth to her with difficulty, she fell to the ground when she went down to the foot of the fishing mountain, but she was born abruptly.

Just like her name and her mother, Aji is very strong. He can turn the ground for a whole day with a hoe, and he can carry a big fish up the mountain with a net.

She doesn't know what the Mongolian Khan and the Mongolian army of more than [-] are, but she is not afraid.

"My ancestors' homes are here. I will go to the inner city tomorrow, and I will follow others to go to Wuling. I won't go anywhere."

Seeing his wife like this, Luo Wangshan sighed deeply again.

There is one thing he didn't say.

Due to the heavy rain today, the Mongolian army did not attack the city, so he had some spare time and ran to the old priest in the village for a divination.

"A great ominous... the ancestor god said, this is a sign of a great ominous omen. If the village master helps the people of Song to defend it, the entire village will die!"

At that time, the priest was staring at Luo Wangshan, trembling all over.

"Villager, everyone will die... let's surrender."

The whole day, Luo Wangshan couldn't forget this prophecy, and only then did he have this conversation with his wife tonight.

He has believed in the Lord God for generations...but now he trusts Wang Jian even more, and he only hopes to move the old, weak, women and children away from Majunzhai.

Thinking about this alone, Luo Wangshan got up, walked to the bed, took his little daughter's lotus-like arm, and rubbed it on his beard, making her giggle.

"Father, I also want to ride a big horse."

"well."

Luo Wangshan picked up his son on his back and said to Aji: "If you want to stay, I can't force you. But when the weather clears, first put the..."

The next moment, a scream came from afar.

Luo Wangshan was still bent over to embrace his son, and suddenly turned his head to look west.

The stone house was still peaceful, but roars could be heard in the distance.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack..."

"Protect the cub!"

The child in his hand was put down, and Luo Wangshan had already rushed out.

He rushed into the rain, the priest's words still echoing in his mind.

"Death...death..."

The sound of rain, screams, and divinations were in a mess in his mind.

"Death is death!"

Luo Wangshan let out a loud roar, his tiger eyes widened, and he finally felt calm. He took the sword from the villager and strode towards the city wall...

~~
On this rainy night, there was indeed no Song army guarding the city, but there were many soldiers and civilians stationed under the city wall, on duty.

After Zhao Chongxi climbed the city wall, he still alarmed these people.

What Zhao Chongxi has to do is to let more people ascend the city as soon as possible, kill the soldiers and civilians in Ma Junzhai, and seize the Qisheng Gate.

Time is tight, for both parties.

"Thug! Kill it!"

"Others, take them to the city!"

……

"Quick! Pancheng!"

Wang Dechen screamed hoarsely, and threw the rope ladder in his hand upwards.

When the Mongolian soldiers saw that the master general was like this, they followed suit one after another.

On the top of Qisheng Gate, Zhao Chongxi led his elite men to climb up to the gate, shouting orders incessantly.

He took the rope ladder and tied it firmly on the top of the city.

"Come on! You can come up!"

The morale of the Mongolian army was greatly boosted, and they climbed up one after another.

……

Shimoshuhu was already agitated, he pulled the rope ladder hard, the top was tied tightly.

So, after the soldiers under his command climbed up, Shimoshuhu bit the scimitar and went up the rope ladder.

Standing on the city gate, I saw that the soldiers and civilians of Ma Junzhai had been awakened in the city, shouting and rushing here, and the tiger was leading people to surround and kill.

Taking a glance like this, Shi Moshuhu was overjoyed, and roared: "Seize the door!"

He was the first to rush down the city ladder, striding towards the Qisheng Gate.

"Stop Monta!"

More than a dozen soldiers of the Song Army were originally on duty in the doorway to shelter from the rain, so they raised their knives to meet them.

Stepping on the stagnant water and mud, Shi Moshu rushed to a Song soldier, and chopped off with his machete.

He was a Khitan and belonged to the same family as Shi Moyong. After the death of Jin, he surrendered to the Mongolian army with his people since he was a child. He lived to be in his 30s and spent nearly 20 years on the battlefield.

Song Bing in front of him was just a young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a dark complexion and simple eyes.

"A plowing child." This thought came to Shi Moshuhu's mind, with some sarcasm.

Slashed with a knife, the simple Song Jun boy was powerless to resist and died under the knife.

"Kill the past!"

The Mongolian army rushed forward.

……

"Giggle cluck..."

Wang Dechen's eyes widened.

Through the rain curtain and the night, he faintly saw the Qisheng Gate slowly opening in front of his eyes.

Nearly five months... finally.

"Enter the city!" Wang Dechen trembled with excitement.

"Enter the city!"

~~
"Master! The city gate is broken! The city gate is broken..."

"Quick! Please General Wang for support!" Luo Wangshan shouted, but did not retreat, and continued to rush forward.

"All the men in Ma Junzhai, follow me to kill the enemy!"

Luo Wangshan had already forgotten the divination, and he also forgot that a villager once told him that in case of battle, the officers and soldiers should go forward first.

He had only one thought... to take back the city gate and hold it.

Unlike Wang Jian, who wanted to serve the country, he never thought of serving the court.

This is his home, the robbers have come in and must be driven out... that's all.

~~
Down the fishing mountain, to the west of the camp.

It was still raining, and a line of soldiers stood outside a tent, forming a circle around the tent.

These soldiers were all wearing Mongolian army armor, and their mouths were tightly pursed.

They have a strange temperament, like... deliberate silence, which makes people feel uncomfortable just by looking at them.

Inside the tent, Shi Ji and Shi Zhang were whispering.

"Do it tonight?"

"Only tonight has the chance. Too many people here know Shi Ji. We will be exposed at dawn."

"I have an idea... How about we change our plan and attack Meng Ge?"

"No, it won't work."

"How about taking a risk?"

"I said that this is the worst policy. I also said that I must go to Diaoyu City."

"I don't understand why I have to go to Diaoyu City."

"I must understand the direction of the situation in order to grasp..."

Halfway through the conversation, the two stopped suddenly and turned to look outside the tent.

Across the tent, they clearly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the heavy rain.

Immediately afterwards, there was a shout in Mongolian...
