Turbulent Times Chapter 1141: Take the city gate

“Set up defense!” Zhang Tiangang ordered. Now their task is only half completed, and the truly arduous task is yet to come, or it has just begun. If they can defend until the arrival of the 10,000 cavalry led by Wang Junlin to seize the city, it will be the time of real victory.

The master members of the Special Forces immediately got busy, pushing out the defense equipment that had been placed at the top of the city, aiming at the direction inside the city, twisting the bowstring, and stacking bundles of crossbow arrows on the side, every time Several battle knives and spears were placed beside each team member. The gate of the city was also gently opened. At this time, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

Zhang Tiangang stared at the south with wide eyes, Wang Junlin will lead more than 10,000 cavalry to attack from the south. Zhang Tiangang sat quietly in the corner, wiping his sword, his face calmed down.

“Take your seats!” Zhang Tiangang ordered.

At this time, ten miles away, taking advantage of the darkness, they scattered and sneaked here. The ten thousand cavalry who had just gathered were ready to go. Wang Junlin said sharply to Yuchi Jingde, Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba who were beside him: ” After sneaking to about five miles, immediately launch a charge, remember, as fast as you can, the special forces can only hold on for a stick of incense for us. Do you remember?”

“Remember!” The three replied excitedly.

“Okay, check your equipment, shut up, put your horse in your mouth, let’s go!”

At a distance of five miles, the huge team of more than 10,000 cavalry could no longer hide their formation. Following Wang Junlin’s order, the more than 10,000 cavalry smashed their horseshoes and rushed forward quickly. , it only takes one stick of incense to reach the city.

Occasionally, some soldiers fell off their horses because their hooves got stuck in the pit because they were not familiar with the terrain.

Pyongyang immediately erupted, alarm bells rang, and countless soldiers rushed out of the cave in panic. Except for the southern gate, which was silent, the other gates were brightly lit almost at the same time.

A city gate guard listened sleepily for a moment, his face changed drastically, and he said loudly: “Hurry up, hurry up, sound the alarm, the enemy attack is coming from the south, the south gate!”

“Yes!” one

The soldier agreed, quickly went down to the city, and galloped away.

“Leave half of the people, and the rest will immediately follow me to support the south gate!” The guard shouted loudly, raised his sword, and ran along the city wall towards the south gate.

Hearing the sound of galloping horseshoes, Zhang Tiangang jumped up and shouted in a low voice: “It’s time, brothers, cut the ropes of the suspension bridge!”

The two special forces masters who had been waiting by the sling for a long time raised their axes and fell, and the suspension bridge fell heavily with the sound of the wind, leaving it on the moat.

“Brothers, get ready to fight!” Zhang Tiangang roared loudly.

At the corner of the wall, Zhang Tiangang stood up, put the sword in his waist, lifted a strong bow, twisted a sharp arrow with two fingers, wound it, narrowed his eyes, and dozens of feathers lined up under his feet. arrow.

…

…

Since the Prime Minister Yuan Tae-joo defeated and drove away the million-strong army of the Sui Dynasty, Gao Jianwu, the ruler of Pyongyang, has had mixed feelings these days. He can hardly sleep at night. Yuan Taizuo killed himself and all the royal families because of his prestige and seeking power to usurp the throne.

Gao Jianwu stared at the candlelight jumping but couldn’t fall asleep, so when the alarm bell on the city wall rang and the shouts of killing came from the city, he heard it immediately and got up from the bed.

Then he saw a group of servants and guards rushing towards him, their faces showing panic, “Your Majesty, the enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking!”

For a while, Gao Jianwu didn’t even react, the enemy attacked, where is the enemy? But the trembling of the ground made him react immediately, and the thunderous shouts in the distance allowed him to clearly distinguish the direction of the enemy’s approach. To the south, there was only Annan County occupied by King Annan of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Suddenly, Gao Jianwu’s mind went blank. Four days ago, after repeated hesitation and struggle, he sent 20,000 troops from Kyoto and its surrounding areas to Annan County for rescue. Why did the enemy appear here after only four days? Pyongyang? Has that trash Li Guangsheng already lost?

And the enemy turned out to be attacking the city at night.

“Decree, all the troops in the city, as well as the guards and warriors of each family, go to the south city.” Gao Jianwu issued the most correct order at the first time

, but I don’t know how much effect it can have in a hurry.

Li Dongmu, the guard of the east gate of the south city who was the first to discover something was wrong. Coming from the south city, when he was still 700 steps away from the south city gate, he saw a scene that made him feel heartbroken. The wide suspension bridge fell heavily and landed on the moat, and in the distance, countless torches were gathering He became a fire dragon and ran towards the south gate at high speed.

“The South City Gate has fallen into the enemy’s hands.” Li Dongmu immediately came to a conclusion in his mind, “Attack, take back the South City Gate.”

Upstairs at the South City Gate, Zhang Tiangang steadily drew the bowstring, followed Li Dongmu’s running figure and slowly moved, let go, and the sharp arrow made a whining sound, and flew towards Li Dongmu like lightning.

Responding almost subconsciously, Li Dongmu swung his knife upwards, and within a short time, he smashed Zhang Tiangang into the air with an arrow. The sharp arrow flew past his helmet and shot the red cherry on the helmet. His hair stood on end, he suddenly raised his head to look at the city gate building, the three black lines in front of him almost formed a straight line, flying straight towards him, such a fast arrow, this was his last reaction. There was a thud in the chest, and three arrows were shot in three places in the abdomen. Li Dongmu fell on his back, his body hit the ground heavily and remained motionless.

“General Li is dead!” The death of Li Dongmu caused a panic, and the soldiers slowed down.

“Rush up and take back the South City Gate, or everyone will die!” A lieutenant jumped out, waving his weapon and commanding the soldiers to rush to the South City Gate, but he only ran a few steps before being condescended again Zhang Tiangang shot and killed.

Zhang Tiangang turned his head and ordered loudly: “Brothers, did you see that, as long as you support a stick of incense, Pyongyang is ours. After completing this mission, after returning, I will invite you to drink and go shopping.”

The team members laughed loudly. Although the battle was at hand, they were exceptionally relaxed. Yizhuxiang, with their previous preparations and skills, the difficulty was not too great.

“Use the powerful crossbow on the head of the Koguryo city, shoot me to the place where the crowd is densest!” Zhang Tiangang said loudly.
