Chapter 239 Definitely a Good Thief
Xie Yuan turned his head and asked coldly: "Your qinggong is better than mine?"

He Guang withdrew his hand embarrassingly, smiled awkwardly, and said, "That...not really."

"Lie down here and do your own thing. If you need to cover and charge, charge." Xie Yuan said coldly, then turned and followed the wall-climbing team, submerged in the wind and snow In the middle, only a little blurry shadow remains.

……

On the city wall, only a bonfire was lit above the gate, and beside the bonfire there was a mess of firewood like a hill.

The flames of the bonfire were barely visible in the blowing wind.

On the contrary, because of the humidity of falling snow, the gray smoke billowed, and the people who warmed up near the fire kept crying.

Patrolling people at night is the most tedious and tormenting job, especially patrolling in such bad weather is a kind of torture.

The soldiers who circled the city for a week walked to the front of the bonfire, ignored the hot smoke and dust, surrounded the bonfire, and sighed comfortably in the warmth.

One of the corporal leaders said: "I don't believe that any Han Chinese can come and attack in such a horrible weather. They sleep, so we should sleep too. Bai Kang is suffering like this here."

Another person said in Xianbei words: "Stop talking such stupid things, who dares to sleep when no one is patrolling? Can you sleep? You have to be guarded if you want peace of mind. It's just bad luck, let's take turns patrolling today. "

All the people warming up to the fire were sighing, squinting their eyes and rubbing their hands, and their faces were full of pain under the ravages of the wind and snow.

Suddenly a soldier froze for a moment, pricked up his ears, and asked, "Did you hear that... I seemed to hear a strange sound just now, it seemed to be the sound of a sword scraping a city wall... and it seemed that someone was dragging a sword on the ground Walk……"

In the dark night, the white snowflakes were like paper money splashed all over the sky, and everyone suddenly became quiet, looking at that person with a pair of deep eyes, as if complaining.

The soldier didn't mean it when he said it. He just thought the voice was strange, so he tried to describe it with accurate words.After saying it, I belatedly realized that this description was a bit of a ghost.

He looked into his companion's eyes, licked his lips, and said, "Really, I really heard it, didn't any of you hear it?...It came from behind..."

"Let you complain, the Yin soldiers went to patrol for you!" Wu Chang gave him a blank look.

As for the lower part of the city wall, there was no barb hooked on the city wall, and when it slid down the slightly sloping city wall and scratched the hard wall all the way, everyone lay on the ground with their buttocks pouted in fright.

They are covered with white cloaks, lying on the ground can blend with the color of the snow, and can hide from the eyes of patrolling soldiers.

But after waiting for a while, there was no sound from above.

Xie Yuan secretly raised his head and glanced up, making sure that he didn't notice it, then lowered his voice, and asked Niu Sanliang in a complaining tone:

"What's the matter with you? You can teach others, and you can't even count on who I count on?!"

Niu Sanliang lay on the ground, not daring to lift his face, but secretly retrieved the rope with both hands, making circles with both hands, and the rope was coiled again in his hands after a while:
"It's not the captain...the wind is too strong, it's crooked..."

Xie Yuan pursed his lips when he heard this, knowing that this was a reason, and then softened his tone, and said:

"Again, pick the right time to throw it, don't throw it on the air vent, don't fail again, the sound is too loud."

"Yes..." Niu Sanliang replied, and got up from the ground again.

Walking back, looking at the concave place on the top of the city wall, he swung the hook in his hand to speed up in a circle, while feeling the wind speed that fluctuated from time to time, but he didn't throw it out for a long time.

Everyone didn't dare to say anything, they squinted their eyes and looked at him in the wind and snow, silently hoping in their hearts that there would be a moment of silence in the random wind, so that the hook in his hand could be smoothly hooked on the city wall. ...

Finally, Niu Sanliang flicked his arm quickly, hooked the stab in front of everyone's gaze, and flew up the city wall. Everyone held their breath and listened to the sound.

With a "ding", the rope hung on the city wall without falling.

Did it work? !

Niu Sanliang stepped forward cautiously, hanging on the rope with his whole body, pulled the rope down, and said:
"Hang on, it's pretty strong, let's go."

Just finished speaking, Xie Yuan grabbed the rope and was about to climb up, but was grabbed by Niu Sanliang's hand that could barely be called a claw, and a pair of eyes were shining brightly in the white hood. whispered:
"Let others go up first. If there are too many people at the top, go up again. If you go up first, isn't that like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?"

Xie Yuan glanced at his hand coldly, and scolded sharply: "You know what! The first one to go up is very important, where will the noise come later! These people will have to be sold here, let go!"

Niu Sanliang was so frightened that he quickly let go of his hand, took a step back timidly, and cursed in his heart with aggrieved hatred:
You really don't know what's good and what's wrong. Grandpa is afraid that you will die and advise you, but he will complain instead!Go ahead, go ahead!

Before he finished thinking about this thought, Xie Yuan's figure jumped up along the rope as if walking on the ground.

Although it is said that when Xie Yuan was taught the essentials, he had already seen the agility of the young captain, but now he still couldn't help sighing:
"Mother, if you are a thief with this skill, you must be a top thief..."

As soon as he said this, everyone under the rope couldn't help looking at him with faint eyes, their expressions were difficult to discern...

"Ah... Hurry up, I'm going to see if the rope can be hung up at other people's places." Niu Sanliang saw that everyone looked at him unkindly, and they all hated him, so he said embarrassingly, shrinking his neck and bending With his waist down, he ran along the base of the city wall like a ball dragging a white sheet.

The soldiers quickly pulled the rope and climbed up along it.

Xie Yuan turned over and jumped onto the city wall, nestled in the dark corner of the city wall, and took off the white cloak on his body.

He carefully took off the bow on his back and held it in his hand. Facing the soldiers of Wei State who were warming around the bonfire in the distance, he pressed the three arrows directly with his fingers that were already a little stiff from the cold, "嗖" Sent out loudly.

……

In this way, they finally opened the city gate in the midst of hardships, and together with the soldiers who had been guarding outside the city gate for a long time, they fought overnight, killed seven or eight of the Wei troops in the city, and captured a cavalry captain, and won a big victory. win.

"Lieutenant, this was picked up from the captain of Wei Jun. It's a little too big, so it can't be worn?" Sun Tian walked over holding a pair of Wei Jun's armor.

This was what Xie Yuan had asked for earlier, and the two factions of the Wei Army were probably fighting for the right to deploy. As a result, they, who had always moved quickly, had not sent reinforcements to defend the city until now.

Xie Yuan was going to let their soldiers change into Wei Jun's clothes, pretend nothing happened, and call for reinforcements.

She looked at the obviously larger armor, covered the gap in the leather armor behind with one hand, and said:

"Forget it, just find me a soldier's clothes, and find one that fits you well."
