    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    On May 30th, the night was dark and starry, and under the gloomy night, Yanjing City was like a monster crouching in the dark night. The fire patrolling the city wall was like a strange red eye, keeping a vigilant eye on the people in Sanguan City.  Heavenly Execution Army.

    According to the agreement with Zhen Heizi and Liao Qi yesterday, tonight at 11 o'clock, it will be a good opportunity to break the city by coordinating the inside and the outside.

    The task of assaulting the city was handed over to Zhang Rui's Second Mixed Brigade.  According to Di Lie's instructions, the Second Mixed Brigade recruited elites to form an assault battalion.  The composition of the assault battalion is as follows: 100 heavy armored spearmen, 100 swordsmen, 100 musketeers, a team of grenadiers, plus a demolition force, the total battalion is 450 people.

    In addition to this assault battalion, there is also a special decoy force that follows the army in the attack.

    At the beginning of Haishi, three miles northwest of Xiguan City, which had been occupied by the Tianzhu Army, hundreds of figures appeared silently in a rugged ravine, jumping out of the ravine and rushing towards the North Gate of Yanjing - it was precisely in  The assault battalion and decoy troops were ambushed here a few hours ago.

    The reason why they ambush here early rather than in Guancheng is that it is not suitable to open the city gate at night to prevent changes; secondly, Yanjing is also paying close attention to the Tianzhu Army stationed in Sanguan City. Once the city gate is opened, several  Hundreds of people came out of the city, and the noise could not be made small no matter how much they were concealed.  Therefore, early in the day, more than a thousand infantrymen of the Second Mixed Brigade took turns to go out of the city for training, three hundred at a time.  Come back two hundred sixty or seventy.  Using this similar method of increasing troops and reducing firepower, after doing this for more than ten times, the ambush troops were assembled.  As for the Jin soldiers on Yanjing City, they were far away and could not see clearly the mystery of Tianzhu Army's move.

    The night was as dark as ink. The soldiers of the assault battalion held each other's arms. Under the leadership of a soldier who was familiar with the road, the team passed through the ruins of the Sheep and Horse Wall that had been destroyed by the Tianzhu Army in an orderly manner. When they arrived at the second ruins  .  The commander of the assault battalion, Guo Dashi, raised his hand to make a gesture, and the hundreds of Tianzhu sergeants who followed him held down the shoulders of each one.  Pause.  Only the decoy force was in chaos.  However, since everyone had coins in their mouths, no sound was made despite the chaos.

    Guo Dashi pressed down with both hands.  The soldier following him immediately squatted down.  In the dark.  One after another, like waves, the soldiers crouched in the shadow of the ruins.

    Guo Dashi confirmed that all troops were in place and hidden.  Just now, he quietly climbed over the ruins, sneaked forward dozens of feet, and rolled into a low bush.  After stabilizing his body, he licked his lips with his fingers and let out a few chirping sounds of night birds.

    Shaoqing, the same sound came from the darkness.

    Guo Dashi's escape sound slowly approached, and when he was about three feet away, he saw a person in the darkness, touching it with the same cautious attitude.  Guo Dashi grasped the eagle's beak gun tightly, placed it against his ribs, put his finger on the trigger, and pointed the gun's muzzle diagonally, in preparation for any emergency.

    "Is it Brother Guo?" A low voice came from the other side.

    Guo Dashi recognized it as Liao Qi¡¯s voice.

    Last night, after the army leader decided to attack the city, Guo Dashi was assigned as the contact person, and he decided with Zhen Heizi and Liao Qi on the contact method, time, place and other specific matters. They became familiar with each other and naturally became brothers.

    "It's me, you're Shichiro, where's Kuroko?"

    "Brother Zhen is waiting at the city gate, waiting for you to arrive."

    "How about the patrol guard?"

    "already solved."

    "Okay! Put down the suspension bridge and open the city gate!"

    There was a harsh creaking sound in the darkness. The suspension bridge slowly sank and hit the muddy ground opposite the ditch with a thud. It was frightening to hear it in the quiet night.

    Guo Dashi jumped out first, followed closely by twenty swordsmen and musketeers, while the rest of the soldiers remained motionless.

    Guo Dashi took the lead and rushed to the suspension bridge. He saw Zhen Heizi holding a torch and more than a dozen signature army soldiers under the city gate. He also saw the two gates that slowly opened.

    Since the capture of Sanguan City, the destruction of the Sheep and Horse Wall, and the siege of the city by the Tianzhu Army, all three gates in the east, south, and west of Yanjing City have been blocked by the defenders, leaving only the north gate for entry and exit.  Residents in the city passed through this gate to cut fuel, collect water, and irrigate, as well as Jin soldiers patrolling for inspection.

    The North Gate is the only city gate that has not been blocked by the Tianzhu Army. This is naturally the usual practice: siege the city.  Therefore, Pharmacist Guo arranged for the newly recruited soldiers to guard this gate. Of course, just in case, Li Cheng also asked Li Cheng to release a military force from the famous army to monitor.  However, this surveillance team, from the head of the capital to the pawns, were all killed by the Yandi signature army guarding the gate.

    Zhen Heizi waved to Guo Dashi, led him to the recessed wall on one side of the city gate, and opened the sealed door. From the dark cellar wall, a thick stream of blood rushed to his nose.

    Guo Dashi tightened his grip on the gun.  Zhen Heizi's torch poked out and illuminated the cellar.?¡ªThey were all scattered corpses dressed in Jinbing uniforms.

    "These are Li Cheng's famous soldiers. The alcoves in this cave are all filled with corpses like this." Zhen Heizi took back the torch and said seriously to Guo Dashi, "Brother Guo, are you relieved?"

    Guo Dashi nodded, patted Zhen Heizi heavily on the shoulder, took the torch from his hand, turned around and raised his hand to make three "S" shapes.  After a while, a hundred-man army appeared at the bridge, but what puzzled Zhen Heizi, Liao Qi and other guards was that this was actually an auxiliary army that didn't even wear armor.

    Except for a hand knife, each of these auxiliary soldiers had no helmet or armor. They all wore civilian military uniforms. They only carried pickaxes, shovels and other digging tools on their backs, and a heavy package under their sides.

    Zhen Heizi said anxiously: "There is a lot of noise here, so we need to hurry up."

    Guo Dashi raised his palms to stop: "It won't take more than half a minute. Please wait a moment, Brother Zhen."

    Subsequently, under the inexplicable eyes of Zhen Heizi, Liao Qi, and a group of defenders, these days, the soldiers of the army waved the picks one by one and tapped the soil.

    The Demolition Soldiers of the Tenchu ??Army!

    Unlike the heavy armor, swords and guns of the assault battalion soldiers, the demolition soldiers are not soldiers and do not undertake combat missions. Their only task is to plant explosives.

    The location where the explosives were planted is on both sides of the city gate corridor.  Although this passage has been trampled by people and horses for a long time and is extremely solid, it is still mud after all.  After digging out the top hard layer, the lower layer is all loose soil, making it easy to dig.

    The demolition soldiers didn't plan to dig too deep. They just dug a shallow pit one foot square that could accommodate the explosive packets.  One hundred people, each dug only a shallow pit about a foot deep, buried the 20 kilograms of explosive bags in their hands, then put the fuse in a thin bamboo tube, connected it to the fuses of the other explosive bags, and finally buried the floating soil  Sweep in to fill.  The whole process is simple and clear.  It doesn¡¯t take a meal.  The burial is completed.

    Zhen Heizi vaguely thought about what it was, and changed his expression: "Brother Guo, what are you"

    Guo Dashi said calmly: "Be prepared. Don't worry, as long as the north gate is successfully occupied, it will be completely demolished. It will not explode."

    This is Di Lie's double insurance strategy for tonight's raid - if everything goes well.  It would be best to successfully seize the North Gate of Yanjing; if it is a trap set by Guo Yaoshi and Li Chenghehe, then there will be a good show.  Since you have given the Tianzhu Army a chance to enter the city.  If you don¡¯t leave anything behind, how can you live up to your painstaking arrangements?

    One hundred people, each with a twenty-kilogram explosive bag, a total of two thousand kilograms of explosives. Once exploded, it would be enough for Jin Bing to drink a pot.

    After getting a signal from the blaster that everything was ready, Guo Dashi waved the torch up and down in the air.

    After a while, figures appeared in front of the suspension bridge. The ones at the forefront were not the soldiers of the assault battalion, but the decoy troops.

    When Zhen Heizi, Liao Qi and their soldiers saw this decoy force, they were so surprised that they were speechless.

    Guo Dashi raised his voice and said: "You two, please lead the way and don't hesitate."

    When Zhen Heizi and others heard this, they withdrew their surprised gazes and responded repeatedly, "Let's go ahead."

    Hundreds of people were running in the dark, and their footsteps were already noisy. When they rushed into the empty and deep city gate, the sound was even louder, buzzing, and deafening.

    "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Guo Dashi at the city gate urged.  Before entering the city gate, no matter how careful or careful you are, you can never be too cautious.  Once you make up your mind, you must pass through the city gate hole as quickly as possible, pass through the most dangerous barbican, enter the defensive corridor, run up the horse path to the top of the city, and occupy each location. Only in this way can you completely control the north gate.

    According to the data given by the General Staff with reference to the Yanjing City abbreviated sand table, this process will take at least half a quarter of time.

    When the leading troops entered the Wengcheng, the soldiers of the assault battalion who followed them stopped at Guo Dashi's signal - in front, a decoy force of about 200 people had completely entered the Wengcheng.  Because the soldiers of the assault battalion stopped, lost contact with the front troops, or looked down from the top of the city, it seemed that those two hundred people were the entire force for tonight's assault.

    Seeing that all the decoy troops have entered Wengcheng and are about to pass through the inner city gate, everything is safe and nothing unusual.  Guo Dashi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and took the lead

    At this moment, there was a whistle, golden drums sounded, and the eight hidden soldier caves above the urn city opened wide. Countless ambush soldiers rushed out, with torches, swords and guns shining, and arrowheads cold.

    There is indeed an ambush!  Guo Dashi took a deep breath and desperately gestured backward to indicate retreat.  In fact, at this time, the soldiers of the assault battalion who were blocked in the city gate didn't understand. The rear team changed into the front team, retreated quickly, and ran towards the city gate.  At this time, the suspension bridge outside the city gate was also being retracted

    Within Wengcheng, Zhen Heizi, Liao Qi and others and the decoy force wereThey are all surrounded, unable to fly with wings.

    An enemy general in thick bronze armor appeared on the top of the city and laughed loudly: "The city should be dedicated to the enemy. This method is all left over from grandpa's tricks. You idiots also want to play it. How can it be immortal?"

    "It's Shang Yuan!" Liao Qi's face turned pale and he said sadly: "It's over! We fell into the trap of Guo and Li! I'm afraid all the soldiers guarding the north gate are dead. It doesn't matter if we die, but it will harm the world.  Execute the army"

    Zhen Heizi stared at his blood-red eyes, like a trapped animal, and gritted his teeth: "No! I won't be willing to die until I see Guo thief beheaded! Rush out!"

    The decoy force of more than 200 people desperately dug out the thorns in its mouth and screamed: "Commander, spare your life! We are not the Tianzhu Army, we are the Yanjing City Signature Army!"

    "All the brothers who were captured earlier are almost dead, and only about two hundred of us are left."

    "We were forced"

    These random screams do sound like they have a Northern accent, but there are also many Northerners in the Tianzhu Army. Who knows whether they are true or not?

    ¡°I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go!¡±

    Shang Yuan¡¯s eyes hardened and he waved decisively.

    With the sound of a gong, hundreds of arrows were fired from the city. Hundreds of people trapped in the urn city screamed, cursed, and screamed to the sky. They fell one by one like wheat after autumn, filled with resentment and blood.

    "Ah have mercy on me! We are really soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin!"

    ¡°Shang Yuan, I¡¯m going to fuck your ancestors!¡±

    "I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost"

    More than two hundred people were unarmed and trapped in a desperate situation. Facing nearly a thousand ambush troops and hundreds of bows and crossbows, they were shot like locust arrows. There was no room for resistance. In just a short while, they were all killed.

    "According to the commander-in-chief, there are still more than a hundred enemy soldiers who have escaped from the city gate. Should we pursue them or not?"

    When Shang Yuan heard this, he was furious: "Why didn't you close the suspension bridge? The enemy troops fled!"

    The guard chuckled and said: "The suspension bridge was halfway closed when the iron chain suddenly brokeit must have been sawed off by the enemy first."

    "Chase! We must chase!" Shang Yuan gritted his teeth, "In order to set up this trap, I killed all my brothers in the army. This blood debt cannot be repaid with less than 500 heads!"

    The assault battalion soldiers who had escaped from danger all retreated to the ruins of the Sheep and Horse Wall. Only Guo Dashi and Bakuduu remained at the city gate.

    Hearing the screams of grief and indignation coming from the Wengcheng, Guo Dashi and the old soldiers were frightened for a while. If it hadn't been for the bait placed by the military leader, they would be the ones screaming at the moment.

    "Commander, the Jin army is chasing us."

    "Light the fire and retreat!"

    As soon as Guo Dashi and several others ran across the suspension bridge, a large number of golden soldiers appeared at the other end of the city gate.

    Shang Yuan was among the pursuers, with bright torches everywhere he could see, and huge hollow echoes rumbling in his ears. All kinds of unpleasant smells hit his nostrils: human body sweat, the smell of garlic spitting out of his mouth, the smell of torch rosin smoke,  And the faint, vague smell of gunpowder smokewait, gunpowder smoke?  Why is there smoke?

    Shang Yuan fought fiercely with the Tianzhu Army in Nanguan City for several days. He was bombarded with muskets, thunderbolts, and explosive packets all day long and was unable to raise his head. He was very familiar with the smell of gunpowder smoke.  As he ran, he couldn't help but slow down and smell the scent.  Several Jin soldiers in the team also stopped hesitantly, looking around, their noses twitching, as if they were aware of something.

    A golden soldier holding a torch seemed to have discovered something and exclaimed: "There is smoke coming from the soil!"

    Shang Yuan's heart skipped a beat and he shined a torch to the corner. Only then did he realize that a lot of the soil seemed to have been recently excavated.  Shang Yuan pulled out his sword and thrust it into the soil - there was something!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????Shang Yuan¡¯s pupils shrank sharply, his face was distorted, he suddenly roared and slashed with his knife

    ???????????????????? Boom!  Boom!

    Even though Sanguan City was several miles away, the Tianzhu sergeants who were patrolling the city walls could clearly see that the north gate of Yanjing City in the dark night looked like a fire-breathing monster, spewing out two balls of thick smoke and fire.  The entire Yanjing City, including Sanguan City, was shocked.

    "It's done!" On Xiguan City, Zhang Rui, who was waiting anxiously, fisted his hands excitedly, looked back and ordered, "Attack!"

    At the north gate of Yanjing City, a hundred steps away from the explosion site, Guo Dashi jumped out from behind the ruins, holding a gun in one hand and a knife in the other, with a voice like thunder: "Assault camp, attack!"

    Yanjing outer city, breakthrough.  (To be continued)
