【Chapter 019】 Murder in the Night

The six or seven days passed by in a hurry...

Chang'an, the former capital of the West, experienced many ups and downs. Finally, after Zhang Fei settled in Chang'an, with the reputation of Wu Zhaohou, it slowly began to glow with new vitality. There was no shortage of businessmen and merchants during the day.

.

Even though the moon was rising at this moment and it was midnight, there were still many lively restaurants, which actually drove away a bit of the severe cold of winter.

On the four towers, there are ten people guarding each tower. Regular sentries are changed every half an hour. In addition, there are several hidden sentries in other places.

At this time, in the woods one mile away from the main gate of Chang'an, clusters of black shadows were coming and going, marching in a well-organized manner, almost covering the entire forest.

At the front, under the faint moonlight, one could vaguely see that the two leaders were Ma Teng and Han Sui, followed by Ma Chao, and Han Sui's eight generals Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, and Ma Wan.

When they were about to emerge from the woods, Han Sui and Ma Teng suddenly stopped and began to look at Chang'an City.

After all, it used to be the capital of the West. Chang'an City has been repaired. The tall and thick city towers are no less than those of ordinary county towns. There are also hundreds of people clustered on the city towers, which makes Han Sui and Ma Teng even more worried.

Everyone frowned!

They attracted the attention of the whole world with 10,000 soldiers and horses. They were lightly armed and simple, and led a total of 60,000 soldiers and horses to attack. They did not even rest for half a day on the way. They had to capture the city quickly and did not give Yan Rou of Tongguan the opportunity to prepare.

!

But the moat, which is seven or eight meters wide, is more than three feet high, and the city wall, which is also seven or eight feet thick, is like a natural chasm, difficult to cross!

When the two were in trouble, a scout, like a monkey, grabbed the trees and rushed towards Han Sui and Ma Teng, whispering:

"Two generals, there are only ten guards on the city tower. They change every half an hour. The other figures are all straw men!" As he said, he stretched out his hand and pointed towards the city tower closest to the top of the city gate.

Han Sui and Ma Teng looked in the direction pointed by the scout, and sure enough they saw several figures there, all swaying in the biting cold wind.

The hearts of Han Sui and Han Sui suddenly trembled, and there was a look of ecstasy in their expressions. If it were a real person, even if the cold wind was biting, it would not be possible for it to be swaying like this. The only explanation is that it is a straw man!

However, before Han Sui and Han Sui could react from their ecstasy, Ma Chao trotted over with a black bow in hand and whispered:

"Be careful, there are secret whistles!"

As he spoke, Ma Chao's bright black eyes were fixed on the ground around the moat under the tower. Above the ground, there were still some ditches. Under the faint moonlight, faint figures could be seen rising and falling.

This discovery gave both Han Sui and Han Sui a headache. If they could not kill all these soldiers with one blow, once the news was leaked, the soldiers in the city would wake up, and then they would not be able to take the lead!

But it is obviously too difficult to get rid of these soldiers!

"I'm going to deal with the secret sentry and find ten sharpshooters to clear out the ten soldiers on the tower at the same time!" Ma Chao saw the dilemma of the two people and said in a childish tone, the black bow in his hand unconsciously

He tightened his grip and pressed his right hand to the arrow pot on his back.

When Ma Chao said this, it was not a big statement, but the secret sentries were far apart from each other. He could slowly deal with the enemy. Otherwise, if it was like on a city tower, they were only a few dozen steps apart, with Ma Chao's arrows

There is nothing we can do about it!

However, despite this, Han Sui and Ma Teng also breathed a sigh of relief. It was not impossible to find the ten sharpshooters.

"Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan... ten of you, come here!" Han Sui and Ma Teng called the names of ten people in succession, but kept their eyes fixed on the tower.

After all, there are many straw men on top of the city tower. It is necessary to distinguish which ones are straw men and which ones are soldiers. If one of them is missed, the plan of the raid may fail. Once it fails, we will face a hard battle.

war.

When ten people came over with bows, Ma Chao's eyes flashed: "Ten of you, get ready. After I get rid of the hidden sentry, you will clear out the guards on the tower at the same time!"

"Understood!" Zhang Heng and others nodded, without saying much, and began to look for the guards on the tower through the faint moonlight.

Ma Chao, on the other hand, dodged, jumped out of the woods, crawled on the ground, and crawled towards the moat. After waiting for a while, he was no more than ten meters away from the first secret sentry, but the secret sentry was obviously due to the weather.

It was so cold that I didn’t even dare to raise my head, so naturally I didn’t notice Ma Chao!

Ma Chao stopped marching, glanced coldly at the location of the secret sentry, and then used his small arms to open the bow, and put a thumb-thick iron arrow on the string, and pulled it with a strong force.

Under the pressure, the bow was quickly drawn into a full moon shape, and the arrow was pointed at the whistle that rose and fell from time to time, rubbing its hands to keep warm.

When the secret whistle lowered his head and then raised his head again, Ma Chao's eyes were as murderous as stars, and he tapped the bowstring in his hand.

bass!

The arrow dragged out a black shadow and shot out almost close to the ground. With a pop, it penetrated directly between the eyebrows of the dark whistle and nailed the dark whistle to death.

Immediately, his hand reached to his back without stopping, took out three long arrows and threw them on the ground. With one arrow, he drew the string, and with a 'whoosh' sound, it turned into a stream of light, and the body died in a dark whistle dozens of meters away.

In less than a breath, two long arrows shot out again, taking out the remaining two secret whistles! Although there was a slight sound during the period, it was also covered up in the snow and wind.

After getting rid of all the secret whistles, Ma Chao turned around and shot an arrow directly towards Ma Teng and where Han Sui was. With a buzzing sound, he nailed it to a big tree next to Han Sui, making a buzzing sound.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Heng and the other ten people drew their arrows and aimed at the guards on the tower!

As if they had a telepathic connection, the ten people loosened the bow strings in their hands at the same time. The ten long black arrows were like ice tips bursting out, exuding a cold aura.

On the top of the city tower, the soldier at the far end yawned, glanced at the sky, a hint of joy appeared in his expression, and turned his head to look to the right: "Lao San, get ready..."

Before he finished speaking, wherever he looked, there were black arrow shadows. Then the soldier felt a cold feeling in his ears, and a long arrow suddenly scraped past his ear, leaving a trail of blood.

The other long arrows all hit the target, puff, puff, puff... a series of subtle sounds made the soldier's pupils shrink.

Ma Chao, who was lying on the ground, saw that no one had fallen down, and suddenly thought something bad in his mind. He stood up like a carp, bent his bow and string, raised his hand and shot an arrow towards the only remaining soldier on the tower.

"There is an enemy attack!" The soldier's hoarse roar spread in this windy and snowy night, and as soon as the long arrow shot out, with a pop, it penetrated the soldier's neck.

At this moment, it was half an hour for the shift change. All ten guards came to the corridor at this moment. When they heard the hoarse roar, their expressions changed drastically. The leader, Shi Chang, even took off the horn from his waist.

.

Woohoo~~~

Under the silent night sky, the low and desolate horn sound was extremely harsh and terrifying!

The expressions of Han Sui, Ma Teng and even Ma Chao all changed.

"Damn it, exposed!" Han Sui yelled, no longer hiding his figure, stood up directly, pulled out the sword from his waist, and shouted: "Attack the city!"

60,000 people versus 10,000 people. If you take the lead, you may not be able to defeat the enemy with thunder!

...

At this time, Zhang Fei, who was drinking and eating meat in Chang'an Mansion, vaguely heard the sound of the horn, a drunken smile appeared on his face, and murmured to himself: "It's so late, and there are still people playing the horn.

General, I must teach them a lesson tomorrow!"

Before he finished speaking, the deputy general in neat armor rushed in and shouted in an embarrassed voice: "General, something is wrong! There is an enemy attack!"
