The night rain kept falling, and the soldiers patrolling the city walls ran down the city walls and took shelter from the city gate. Although there was a location in the city tower, it was not something that the big-headed soldiers could enter, so they could only do so.

Xuanhu City is the prefecture of Yuzhou. In recent years, the city wall has been hit by war. The city wall has been damaged and repaired and damaged. Because of the frequent use of counterweight trenchers during offensive and defensive warfare, the city wall has become very sparse.

One night a few months ago, soldiers patrolling the city at night made fire and roasted food in a city tower. If they accidentally walked away, they almost caused a disaster. So they were later banned from entering the city tower.

If it is nothing on weekdays, it will rain tonight, and only a few soldiers patrolling the night can hide under the eaves of the city tower. Others can only find other ways. Anyway, they are safe now, so they hide in the doorway and take a nap.

Military discipline belongs to military discipline. No Shangguan will come to inspect this kind of ghost weather. At this time, most of the patrolers are weak soldiers. Once they get sick from the rain and have no money to treat the disease, they will easily die.

More than a dozen soldiers were crowding in the door, talking about endless topics, lighting up a fire, and baking military uniforms that were wet by the rain. Although shirtless was a little cool, it was better to feel uncomfortable than to get wet on the top of the city.

"Don't pick your feet, that smell is really frightening."

"You're itchy feet, you'll feel comfortable just by squeezing them."

"You are itchy feet! My brothers are squeezed and they are so fumigating that they are about to vomit!"

While laughing and scolding, the soldiers passed the time. They were the weak soldiers who were screened for oversized wars. They did not have to go to war with the army, but they had to do some chores, including patrolling the city at night.

When you find something wrong outside, you will quickly beat drums and drums to warn the enemy to prevent the enemy from stealing the city. Xuanhu is the prefecture of Yuzhou and the location of the Yuzhou General Administration Office, so you must be strictly guarded.

However, for today's Xuanhu, there are no enemy troops around, so the city defense is a bit slack. After all, the territory of Yuzhou is very peaceful now, and the unlucky area of ​​Shannan Jingxiang is in the area of ​​Shannan.

A veteran in his forties sighed: "Oh, over the past ten years, wars have been fought every now and then, and I don't know when it will stop."

"It should be quiet after the battle this time. It seems that the Chen Kingdom is about to finish it. When Guanzhong and Shannan fight, the world will be peaceful."

The veteran smiled helplessly: "When Qi was over, everyone thought so, what was the result?"

"At that time, Qi State was over, everyone thought that Chen State was almost over. As a result, after two or three years, the war started again. It took seven or eight years to fight. Finally, it was finally over. Seeing that Chen State was over again, it was now fighting again. Are you unlucky?"

"It's different this time. The court has so many soldiers and horses in its hands, so how can it not be able to take it down the mountain?"

"Hey, can you take it or not, as long as we are not in trouble, what do you think about making so much? There won't be a piece of meat in the bowl."

The soldiers were talking about it, but in the end they went back to the firewood, rice, oil and salt. They had a humble identity and couldn't read a few words. They didn't have so many ideas, so they wanted to live a peaceful life with their families.

At that time, Yuzhou was still under the rule of Qi. Later, the Zhou army captured Yecheng and the Qi army in Yuzhou surrendered, allowing everyone to escape a great disaster. They thought it would be peaceful, but as a result, wars continued for more than ten years.

The Zhou Kingdom split and the fights stopped after all. Everyone thought they could live a peaceful life, but after a year of calm, they started fighting again.

What are the "rebels", "kings", "everyone can kill them", ordinary people and soldiers can't figure it out. Anyway, Shangguan does whatever he wants to do, and the most important thing is to protect his head.

As the autumn harvest approaches, the government troops of the Yuzhou General Administration suddenly mobilized to attack Jingzhou and attack the rebels. The old, weak, sick and disabled who were lucky enough to stay in Xuanhu have no hope of making meritorious service, but they do not have to go to the battlefield and just need to spend time in the city.

The Yellow River is to the north of the Yuzhou General Administration, the Bozhou General Administration is to the east, the Yangzhou General Administration is to the southeast, the Tongbai Mountain-Dabie Mountain to the southwest, and the Tongbai Mountain to the west, and the Xuanhu is very stable.

On the west side of the Yuzhou General Administration, you can enter the boundary of Jingzhou in Shannan by passing through the Fangcheng Pass. Now the main force of the official army has surrounded Fangcheng and divided its troops to block the three passes of Yiyang in Tongbai Mountain. There is no enemy that can threaten Xuanhu at all.

And there were also officials marching south from Guangzhou and attacking five passes on the Dabie Mountains in five directions. The Huangzhou army on the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains is now about to finish, and cannot threaten Guangzhou Prefecture Zhiguang City, let alone Xuanhu.

Even if a few enemy troops walk along the small path around the government troops and cross the Dabie Mountains, it is not easy to take down Guangcheng, let alone have to pass through Xizhou all the way north. The troops stationed in Xizhou will never let these people succeed.

So why should the Xuanhu Guards not hide from the rain at night and endure hardships on the city?

The soldiers squeezed into the door to hide from the rain, chatting for a long time, and gradually became tired and some even snored. However, after all, they were afraid that the movement would be too great to come to Shangguan to inspect, so the man was quickly awakened.

"Sleep when you sleep, you're snoring! I'm caught by someone later. I think I didn't get enough whip, right?"

"Hey, I'll just sleep for a while..."

As they mumbled, the soldiers were drowsy, and there were no figures on the city wall. A few soldiers hiding under the eaves of the city towers and hiding from the rain also took a nap against the wall. They were ordered by Shangguan as slaves during the day to be servile. They were tired all night and had to patrol the night, so they were already in poor spirits.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the wet ground was covered with darkness. Only the "rustling" sound of rain falling on the ground. Suddenly, a slight muffled sound came, which was the sound of an iron claw stuck in the gap between the female wall on the top of the city.

The three iron hooks of the iron claws were wrapped in cloth to minimize the sounds made during collisions. The sound was so weak that it was covered by the sound of rain falling to the ground. After a moment, a black shadow appeared outside the female wall.

It was a man in military uniform, holding a sharp knife on his mouth and not wearing armor. He climbed the female wall and looked left and right. After confirming that there was no one, he skillfully climbed over the female wall and squatted on the top of the city.

Another person climbed up, and the two of them carefully took off the bow and arrows they carried with them, looking back to back at the left and right respectively.

After a while, more than ten iron hooks hooked the female wall one after another, and countless black shadows climbed up to the wall along the rope tied to the iron hook. They divided into three strands, one strand stayed in place, and two strands touched the left and right sides of the city respectively.

The elite Anzhou army should have gone to Jingzhou and fought bloody battles with the army to lift the siege of Fangcheng. Unexpectedly, the enemy invaded by the five passes of Dabie Mountain were wiped out. They were ordered to attack from Dabie Mountain and surprise attacked Xuanhu, Yuzhou Prefecture.

Xuanhu is less than 300 miles away from Zhiguang City, Guangzhou Prefecture, the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains. The enemy would never have expected that the Yuwen family's army would attack immediately when the five armies were defeated.

The elite cavalry of the Anzhou Army, disguised as Yangzhou Army, walked on Muling Pass Road to enter the Guangzhou boundary, turned into several groups of troops, marched separately, gathered near Baigou Post in Xizhou, and then rushed straight to Xuanhu City 80 miles away, and arrived at the outskirts of the city at night.

The sudden attack on Xuanhu was a powerful counterattack from Yuwen's family, carrying the hope of reversing the situation, but they were not sure about the situation of the garrison in Xuanhu City. If there were troops gathering in Xuanhu in the court, then their actions would be like a moth to a fire.

The gamble of unknown outcomes was prepared for the death of the battle. Before departure, everyone was given land at home, and after the death, there was double pension. King Yuwen of Xiyang personally led the troops to attack, which made the morale of the soldiers reach its peak.

The first person who climbed to the city wall quickly dealt with the defenders beside the city tower. Then he touched the city wall and killed the soldiers hiding in the door hole to shelter from the rain. All of this was completed in a very short time.

The first boarders carried the bodies away and tried hard to open the city gate. The cavalrymen who were ready were in line. The Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen, who was covered in all over, wiped his face soaked in the rain, pulled out his sword, and pointed to the depths of the dark street:
Chapter completed!
