Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 228 Night Attack on Yangping Pass (two chapters still owed)
Night falls.

The night was dim, and there was darkness everywhere, as if they knew something was going on, and the crooked moon also hid in the clouds, refusing to show its face.

On the Yangpingguan city wall, although torches and fire pans were lit to illuminate everywhere, but in such a night, looking out from the city wall, you can only see clearly the range within 300 meters, beyond 300 meters. Mi, also just see the pitch black.

but.

Neither Yang Ang nor Yang Ren in the city would care about these situations, and there were still only a thousand defenders guarding the city walls.

The two of them did not go to the city wall to inspect. From their point of view, no one would attack this Yangping Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The rest of the soldiers and horses arrived, repelled the enemy, and defended Yangping Pass.

As for the conquest of Hanzhong, only Jingzhou is the only one. Now that Zhao Yun is leading [-] troops to attack Jiameng Pass, all he needs to do is pay attention to the battle situation there.

The two of them met for a drink together. Originally they proposed to lead the troops to go around behind the Jingzhou army and attack the Jingzhou army with Yang Bai from Jiameng Pass, but Zhang Lu refused because of Changan's There was a change in the soldiers and horses, fearing that the soldiers and horses from Chang'an would also take the opportunity to attack, so they were asked to stick to Yangping Pass and not send troops.

Although he has regrets, he can only obey Zhang Lu's order and guard Yangping Pass.

However, when the two of them thought that Yangpingguan had no accidents.

Yangping Guanzhong.

The back doors of the two inns were quietly opened, and a figure walked out of them, taking advantage of the darkness, slowly approaching the city gate.

These black shadows took advantage of the night to walk on the street, but they didn't attract any attention, because there were no patrolling soldiers in the city. At this time, the people also fell asleep.

and so.

The people who came out from the back doors of the two inns did not encounter any accidents, and slowly gathered together and approached the city gate.

In front of the city gate passage.

There were fifty defenders, armed with long guns, guarding there, and on the left and right sides, two fire plates were lit on each side, illuminating the open area 200 meters in front of the city gate passage.

A dark place in a house.

All these people who came secretly gathered here, after all, not far from here is the city gate.

"Zhong Ye, wait to deal with the guards in front of the passage of the city gate first, and then you will lead a hundred soldiers to guard the stairs. Don't let the defenders on the city wall break through. I will lead fifty soldiers to guard in front of the passage, and the rest of the soldiers Go open the city gate and let the army enter the city!" In the dark, a person said.

These people were none other than Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and two hundred elite Jingzhou troops who sneaked into the city pretending to be businessmen.

"Yes!" Wenpin nodded.

They sneaked into the city before and paid some gold and silver treasures to enter the city. However, it is nothing compared to being able to sneak into the city and pay some gold and silver treasures. As long as the officials in the city think that they are real businessmen , that is enough.

Wei Yan glanced at the crowd and shouted in a low voice, "Do it!"

Immediately, he pulled out the saber at his waist and walked out.

Wenpin and the [-] elite Jingzhou army did not hesitate. They drew their weapons from their waists and followed Wei Yan out.

"Who are you?"

The soldiers guarding in front of the passageway of the city gate saw someone coming out of the darkness, one of the generals took a step forward and asked, and the rest of the guards also became vigilant, pointing their spears at Wei Yan and the others.

"kill!"

Wei Yan yelled, and ran straight to kill the defenders in the passage of the city gate.

"kill!"

Wenpin and others also drank loudly, waved their weapons, and rushed towards the city gate passage.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack! Defend!" the general shouted.

The fifty city gate guards were already vigilant, and when they saw this situation, they quickly formed a defensive formation.

Poof, poof.
However, the city gate defenders in a defensive formation could not stop Wei Yan and Wenpin at all. They waved the sabers in their hands and tore through the defensive formation in one fell swoop, cutting down several people.

The [-] elite Jingzhou army also covered up and killed them.

Just fifty city gate defenders, how could they be opponents, they were wiped out before they lasted any time, and they didn't even have time for the defenders on the city wall to react.

Ah~~
Wei Yan beheaded the last general with a single knife, and the fifty defenders in front of the city gate were all wiped out. He shouted, "Open the city gate quickly!"

Following that, dozens of people rushed into the city gate passage, trying to open the city gate.

Wenpin also led a hundred soldiers to block the stairs, preventing the defenders on the city wall from rushing down.

Wei Yan took out a ringing arrow from his bosom, sent out a signal, and led fifty soldiers to guard in front of the city gate passage, buying time for the soldiers who opened the city gate.

The loud shouts, screams, and fighting sounds below the city gate also attracted the attention of the defenders on the city wall.

When they sent people to check, they saw that the fifty defenders in front of the city gate were all cut down to the ground, the stairs were blocked, and the city gate fell into the hands of the enemy.

The partial general on the city wall was shocked and shouted: "Organize the defenders quickly, attack and take back the city gate!"

As a partial general, he also knows the importance of the city gate. Since there are enemy troops to seize the city gate, it means that there must be soldiers and horses who want to attack Yangping Pass, and they are still waiting outside the city. The door opens, the aftermath..

He also couldn't figure out why the enemy army had sneaked into the city and took down the city gate so quickly, but now the most important thing is to take back the city gate, so he summoned a thousand soldiers on the city wall and wanted to attack when going down.

bang~~
A loud arrow rose from the city gate and exploded high in the night sky.

The reason why the loud arrows were released before the city gate was opened was also decided by Zhuge Liang. When the loud arrows were released in advance, Zhuge Liang would command the army to rush over. Then when the city gate opened, the army could enter directly without wasting time. Avoid any bad accidents.

However, the city defender didn't know about it, and he didn't care about it, so he wanted to lead a thousand defenders assembled to retake the city gate.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

In the dark place that could not be seen outside the city, there was the sound of shouting and killing, and the sound of galloping horses, rushing towards Yangping Pass.

Seeing the sounding arrow rising, Zhuge Liang, who had already led the army to ambush at the designated location, without any hesitation, directly ordered the army to cover and kill the Yangping Pass, and he himself led more than a hundred riders to stay at the end.

"You lead [-] soldiers to kill and regain the city gate. You must not let them open the city gate. After breaking through, immediately send someone to report to the two generals and ask for reinforcements! The rest of the people defend the city wall and cannot let the enemy rush to the bottom of the city!" The general shouted loudly.

As long as the city gate is there, everything is still possible.

"promise!"

A general who was pointed at by the partial general did not hesitate, and agreed, leading five hundred soldiers, he wanted to go up the stairs, wanting to take back the city gate.

There are only about [-] enemy troops under the city, so there is still a great chance.
