Under Youzhou City,

In a dark and dark outlined night,

The vanguard Suo Chao's palm holding the rope was already sweating faintly, and the top of the towering city wall was approaching him little by little. Everything was so quiet, only his heavy and rapid breathing, and his robe rubbed against the unobstructed wall as he moved, accompanied by the slight rustling sound of soil and gravel falling.

After a long wait and torture, the rope that was pulled seemed to finally come to an end. A dim flame was cast in the gap at the top of the city wall, rather than a flashing sword or a crystal-clear spearhead.

"Why is it so slow..."

Then I saw several soldiers wearing Pinglu military uniforms, looking nervous and uneasy, speaking in a depressing tone.

"The staff at the opening door have been replaced again."

"So we can only help here..."

"Please also speed up your movements..."

Although they looked a little nervous and cramped, the fresh smell of blood on their bodies was a sign of the fate of other companions.

And as if in response to his words, some climbing figures emerged from all over the nearby city walls, all of which were his first troops. They were wearing light silk armor lined with iron pieces, carrying wheel fast guns and short trumpet guns, and several pear-shaped grenades hung around their waists.

After they gathered in sufficient quantities and formed a half-ring array with their backs against the battlements, they fixed the more convenient climbing rope ladders one by one to attract more companions.

The city was still dark, and there was a vague fire on the city's front in the distance, but there was no major movement, and there was no realization that the activities were happening here. After all, the Youzhou City was too big, and the large defenders could not take into account every section of the city wall, but could only take regular patrols to accidentally check these sections of the city far away from the battlefield.

Or the high mental tension under the long night is always easy for people to slack off and neglect something, especially with the support of those who are interested in the inner workings. Soon nearly half a regiment of pioneers gathered on this section of the city wall, and in the slight movement of the screen, the inner workings holding the torch are guided and quickly heading towards the far side of the gatehouse.

In fact, Kaiping Gate Tower, one of the ten gates in Youzhou, is actually a vast space composed of two large and small walls inside and outside. At least from the specific length and width, it is quite close to a large fortress that can easily garrison thousands of troops.

Therefore, with such a huge space and scope, it seems that the hundreds of warriors who came up on the wall overnight were simply a drop in the bucket to break in.

But what is surprising is that the corresponding huge gatehouse is now very quiet and silence. In addition to the lined flags that make noises in the night wind, even the spots of fire are extremely dim. It is obvious that the defenders are not facing the direction of the Huai Army's attack here, and the garrison force they invested is quite limited and almost only maintains a basic level of alert.

Therefore, before arriving at the city tower, wherever Suo Chao and his party passed, they did not encounter any defenders or posts, or in other words, the only insiders of this small team on the city wall were responsible for such a short-distance night patrol mission.

It was not until they emerged from a spacious terrace again by the spiral steps inside the wall that they first encountered a sentry where there were people. They were two guards hiding in the corner of the mercer and the wall to take a nap in the wind. Then, in the wake of sleepy eyes, they were vanished by vanish soldiers who had received special whistle-touching training and actual combat. One of them pressed down on their necks and the other covered their mouths and pricked their hearts and lungs, and they lost their lives without even a sound.

Then, from their equipment, it was much simpler than the defenders facing the Huai Army's offensive in other places, with only half of their bodies of old and black nailed leather armor, a sharpened wooden spear, a pair of patent leather wooden hand cards and short swords;

The city-guarding equipment distributed is not a common military-style crossbow or crossbow machine, but a few sets of corner bows and wooden arrows. They were untied in the open air and placed their hands on the side of the wall not far away, looking slack and unprepared.

Then, he walked through the city and passed the building. Without using firearms, he used the guns and daggers he carried with him to clear seven or eight posts, and at least twenty or thirty police posts and guards; among them, only the last post on the west side of the gate tower almost made some mistakes and situations.

A sentry who happened to go out of the toilet became a fish that escaped the net in the back sting and throat-cutting operation. When he tried to shout and report the message to the city in horror, he ran the wrong ladder in a panic and was shot into the thigh by Suo Chao with a light and silent crossbow, and fell from the city tower and fell silently.

Then in the following time, in the middle of the outer wall tower, Suo Chao finally discovered the daily life, daily life and gathering place of most defenders, a spacious room with many weapons racks and tables;

However, at this moment, the other party was still unaware of what happened outside, and was still free in the room, either resting, chatting, drinking around the fire, or playing the horn with red arms, full of absurd and lazy feeling.

At this moment, Suo Chao was not in a hurry or rushing in, but instead surrounded the doors and windows everywhere. Then he took the lead in taking off the pear-shaped grenade hanging on his waist, inserted the wooden fire tube, and then issued a low order, and dozens of them threw in from all over the place.

Only the fierce ping-pong explosions and the air waves burst out quickly. The screams and panic inside were drowned in an instant, and the noises disappeared in a short time;

This is the latest special shock-detonation bomb produced by Huaidi, which is specially used to deal with enemy groups in small rooms. During the preparation, the damage of fragments and fireworks was eliminated, and the shock and impact of air waves and sounds was strengthened to destroy and paralyze the five senses and reaction capabilities of the enemy troops in the room.

Just as the subsequent buzzing and residual air sounds, Suo Chao immediately pulled out a larger spherical grenade. During the re-investment process, it turned into thick and pungent ash smoke in the fluffy and dull shaking sound, as well as more intense and heart-wrenching choking and striking movements.

This is another special smoke bomb, which combines the formulas of wolf smoke balls and fire caltrops, and is specially used to smoke and kill and trap enemies who are forced to resist indoors. At this time, it is used alternately with shock bombs, but it complements each other and doubles its power.

Then, many figures rushed out of the exits of the doors and windows desperately, and then were shot solemnly at close range and hit them into sieves in front of them, or poked to death and slashed outside the narrow window door.

After a short moment, relying on their skillful tactical understanding and the proper use of new firearms, hundreds of defenders hiding indoors were killed and injured in a blink of an eye.

At the same time, another group of people who were separated and walked straight down through the wall on the inside of the gatehouse to pull the tall wooden winch and thick chains on the inner wall gate. Only then did they find that the position originally used for animal power drive was already empty.

But what made them more grateful was that there was a vague rest and restlessness in the animal shed not far from the city. Then, while entering the animal shed to search and pull it up, the pioneers responsible for the investigation inside the door made new discoveries.

For example, the defenders on the other hand were that the corridors where soldiers could pass through the city and the double thick city gates that were confined, they had long been roughly filled by various piles of wood, stones and earth bags. Therefore, even if the city wall was forcibly broken through, they could still easily last for a while with these buffers.

However, these messy things cannot constitute a real obstacle or obstruction to the Huai Army that possesses firearms;

Half an hour later, at the end of the door, close to the gate below the city, a few flashing Mars finally disappeared between several stacked special pharmaceutical packs, and turned into a complete flame and explosion;

Under the narrow cavity effect formed by the doorway corridor, like the mouth of a giant beast that spits out the fire dragon, the various obstacles and debris stacked behind the city gate were torn and overturned, and then burst out with rolling smoke and air waves.

For a moment, a path full of debris and wreckage had been cleared in the originally silted door opening. However, the loud noise, like a starting gun and signal of some kind of opening, alarmed most of the Youzhou City, suddenly became bustling.

The originally dim and bright and extinguished fires above and below the city walls seemed to have received some kind of ignition. In an instant, in a certain coordinated reaction, the clusters of two and three groups of dense groups were illuminated. Along with the fierce movements of a large number of Mercedes-Benzers under the city, they quickly marched and surrounded the direction where the open door was located.

Judging from the distance from the large swaying and flashing fire, the closest defenders were waiting for the waiting guards, not even far away, just outside two or three city walls.

This was obviously both the last darkness before dawn and the most dangerous and intense moment. After cleaning up the last bit of enemies in the outer gatehouse, Suo Chao, who was also called "Pioneering", had once again held the beaded gun in his hand and raised it from the city to aim it at the city yard.

Is it that their first surprise troops persisted, opened the city gate first and obtained support from the inside and outside, and gained a foothold at this breakthrough; or is it that the defenders waiting in the city fought desperately and defeated and annihilated the infiltrated enemy and regained this key pivotal point;
