Chapter 349 Night Attack on Jiaohe City (2)
Xiya rushed to the front and took off her battle robe while walking. In order to reduce her weight as much as possible, she not only could not wear armor, but also had to take off her thick battle robe, leaving only her close-fitting single robe.
Tu Niuer chased after him and gave him a bundle of ropes. While Xiya took the rope and was slanted on her back, he grabbed the rope and pulled it hard. The rope slipped a little, and then stopped. Tu Niuer breathed a sigh of relief and handed the rope to Xiya.
"Xia, be careful. If it really doesn't work, just run away. Don't hold on, do you hear it?"
"Brother Niuer, I understand." Xiya laughed, grabbed the rope, and climbed up quickly. For more than a month, she and Xigma have been taking turns to do such jobs. They are flexible and light in weight, and are the most suitable striker.
Of course, the danger is also the greatest, especially when the enemy is in front of you.
When Xiya was climbing up, the mercenaries stared at her nervously. Whether the rope could be fixed smoothly was related to whether the mission could be truly completed. They did not dare to light the torch, and the starlight dimmed again. Xiya soon became a dark shadow, shaking and rising.
Liang Xiao deliberately slowed down his breath, slowly loosened his hand holding the bow, and slowly put it away. With the slow breath, the heat flow slowly rose, poured into his arms and injected into every finger.
Although the fingers are still cold, they are flexible enough.
Xiya was still rising, and there was a faint voice coming from the distance, as if something was arguing. After a while, the two of them walked towards this side, complaining while walking, one of them held a torch, a knife, and the other was holding a shield.
Liang Xiao closed his eyes and breathed silently.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. First, Xiya heard them. She gritted her teeth and seized the time to climb up. When the footsteps sounded above her head, she stopped and looked at Liang Xiao on the top of the tree.
Liang Xiao lifted his clothes, stood up, raised his bow, and shot out four armor-breaking arrows.
The soldiers of the Cheshi had just discovered the flying grab on the ground, bent down and approached the torch. Just as they were about to look carefully, two armor-breaking arrows broke through the air. The soldier holding the torch groaned and threw the torch out. The torch was thrown out. Another soldier was shocked and was about to shout, when the two armor-breaking arrows flew almost at the same time, shot through his chest and his throat.
Liang Xiao held his breath and listened intently. Although he was only thirty steps away and even though he shot four arrows, he did not guarantee that he could shoot.
No other sounds.
Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He clasped his lips and let out two birds singing, indicating that Xiya continued to move forward. Xiya finally climbed to the top of the cliff. She hunched over, picked up the torch first, confirmed that the two had been shot to death, and then breathed a sigh of relief, fixed the rope, and issued a secret code.
Tu Niuer, Pang Shuo followed and Tu Niuer threw Xiya's battle robe to her. "Put it up quickly."
"Oh!" Xiya rubbed her hands repeatedly and put on her battle robe.
Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo put down two ropes, and then they stood side by side on the edge of the cliff, holding a torch, looking back and forth.
The Cheshiren in the distance shouted twice. Tu Niuer held his throat and cursed a few vaguely. He waved the torch and signaled that there was no situation. When the Cheshiren saw it, he shrank back. Liang Xiao smiled. As he expected, no one wanted to do anything in this winter.
Now with four ropes, the mercenaries accelerated and climbed up quickly. Once they reached the top of the cliff, they put down their new ropes, or picked up their weapons, and joined the formation.
After a meal, there were more than ten people on the top of the cliff. Liang Xiao finally put down a stone hanging in his heart. Those who went up first were masters. With these more than ten people blocked them, even if the Cheshimen discovered it, they could not stop them. What's more, the Cheshimen were still in the dark and didn't care about the situation here at all.
He was very glad that the adventure was successful. He slid down from the tree, climbed to the top of the cliff, and ran to Xiya. Xiya handed over a bronze wine pot. Liang Xiao took it and took a big gulp. The wine was warm, with a strong body odor.
Although she is a girl in the flower season, she still smells a bit too much if she doesn't take a shower for a few days.
He was about to tease Xiya, but the Cheshiren on the opposite side made another move and shouted loudly. Liang Xiao made a gesture to Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo, indicating that they would go over. Tu Niuer understood, held the torch, walked back, and Pang Shuo followed aside with a short body. The others hid in the darkness and surrounded them from their wings.
Liang Xiao took another sip of wine, stuffed a tsampa into his mouth, picked up a bow, and joined the raid team with Xiya. At thirty steps away from the Cheshi people, they stopped and watched Tu Niuer and others walk over step by step.
After Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo walked to Che Shiren for more than ten steps, Che Shiren finally found something wrong. While shouting, he drew out his weapons. Among the chaotic crowd, there was a horn soldier who raised the huge horn.
In an instant, Liang Xiao stood up from his hiding place, running forward while shooting continuously. At the same time, Tu Niuer threw away the torch, picked up the shield and sword, and ran. Pang Shuo held the knife in both hands, followed closely behind Tu Niuer, and grabbed the front in a few steps.
The horn soldier had just raised the horn of the horn, and Liang Xiao's arrow arrived. He shot the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the horn of the
In a moment, Liang Xiao shot and killed three more people and rushed to the cover. He happened to see Tu Niuer kicking the last chariot soldier to the ground.
Seven corpses were lying inside and outside the bunker, plus the two before, one captured, a total of ten people, which was exactly the same number.
As the spirit fox said, this bunker was not built, but was dug out of the ground. Although it was simple, it had complete facilities. There was a bonfire in the center, milk was boiled on the fire, warm wine, and roasted a sheep, leaving only a little skeleton.
Liang Xiao sat down and signaled the two dangerous people to come forward to interrogate. Their language was similar and they could understand each other. Seeing the enemies constantly surrounding him, the Cheshiren was so scared that he was so scared that he didn't have much trouble, he just frightened the beans and said it clearly.
Two days ago, they received a notice to strengthen defense and prevent a group of bandits from entering the city to rob. It is said that this group of bandits are habitual bandits, killing people without blinking, and are extremely cruel. However, most of the troops are deployed near the royal city in the south of the city, which is a temple area. There are only ascetic monks, no residents, and no city gates, so the defense is relatively relaxed. In addition to them, there is also a person, which is about two hundred steps south of them.
Going further south, patrolling people are much more dense.
After hearing this, Liang Xiao did not dare to neglect it, so he immediately ordered Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo to set up a warning.
When all the mercenaries arrived, Liang Xiao handed out the hot milk wine, let them drink a few sips each to warm up their bodies, and then assigned tasks. These people had been fighting together for a long time, and they cooperated very well. Without Liang Xiao's words, they understood what to do.
Liang Xiao gave the order, and they formed three or five people in groups, alternately covering and touching forward.
The Cheshi people at the next stronghold were not prepared at all and were solved in their sleep.
Liang Xiao and others were like a group of wolves. They were invincible all the way forward. They did not encounter any trouble until they were under the royal city.
The gate of the royal city was closed, and a fire was lit in front of the city gate. Several soldiers shrank their necks in the cold wind, stood on both sides of the city gate, stomping their feet from time to time, and more people squeezed into the gate holes and surrounded the fire to keep warm. They kept complaining in a low voice. In the city, there was a soldier every ten steps. Most of them were wrapped tightly, but there were no people in some places. I don’t know whether they were hiding under the city wall to shelter from the wind or where they went.
Liang Xiao laughed secretly. The Cheshi people really regarded themselves as bandits. They didn't know that although he only had a hundred people, they were all elite. If he fought head-on, even if Cheshi people had five hundred people, he would not be afraid. The only thing that could stop him was the unique terrain of Jiaohe City. Now that he has come up, what else can he have to worry about?
Liang Xiao signaled Linghu and others to prepare for attacking from both sides, and took Xiya out himself. Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo followed closely, walked out from their hiding place, and walked towards the city gate. He walked very calmly, not like an enemy coming to the city, but like a tourist coming to sightseeing.
Seeing someone walking out of the darkness and approaching the city gate step by step, the Cheshi soldiers up and down the royal city immediately became energetic and shouted loudly with majestic spirits.
"Who?"
"Stop, stop!"
"I idlers are not allowed to enter and exit the royal city."
Liang Xiao ignored them at all and continued to move forward with steady steps. While he attracted the attention of Cheshi people, Linghu and others divided into two teams and quietly touched the corners of the city on both sides, hid in the darkness, preparing to climb the city. The royal city was not high, only about 100,500 feet. With the skills of the mercenaries, as long as no one stopped them, the stacked arhats could be turned in.
Liang Xiao came to the bonfire in front of the city gate, stretched out his hand, and casually roasted the fire.
A Cheshiman, who looked like an officer, walked out of the city gate, drew his knife, leaned over carefully, and stood in front of Liang Xiao for five steps. A dozen soldiers were holding weapons and stood beside him, as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Who are you?"
Liang Xiao glanced at him and smiled: "I, the envoy of the Western Regions of the Great Han Dynasty, the cavalry commander, Liang Xiao."
Although Liang Xiao spoke very slowly, he was speaking Chinese, and the Cheshiren didn't understand it at all. Until he heard the last name, he was stunned for a moment, suddenly woke up, and shouted: "Liang Xiao?" As he spoke, he took two steps back.
The Cheshi soldiers beside him were also panicked, as if they saw a beast, and they took two steps back together.
Liang Xiao couldn't understand Che Master's words, but he could understand his name. He smiled and nodded, glanced at the distance with his eyes. Seeing that Linghu and others were ready to climb the city, he smiled with satisfaction.
"That's right, I am Liang Xiao, the envoy of the Han Dynasty. Today I am here to visit King Cheshi. Are you opening the door to greet me, or do you want me to kill in?"
The officer of the Cheshishi couldn't understand what he was saying, so he just raised his knife, shouted, and urged his subordinates to come forward to attack. Seeing this, Liang Xiao sighed. "It seems that you are unwilling to accept my kindness. Since that's the case, don't blame me. Niu'er, Dahu, go ahead!"
"Here!" Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo agreed loudly and rushed over.
Liang Xiao took the bow from Xiya, took the bow and took the arrow, glanced at the anxious and white-faced officer Cheshi, smiled slightly, and shot a must-kill arrow-
