Chapter 196: Attacking the East Gate and breaking the North Gate
Now the East City Gate attracted all the attention of the garrison, and everyone wanted to see what tricks this group of bandits were going to play.
The garrison at the West Gate and South Gate looked through the fog at the position where the bandits were. Only torches and campfires could be seen, and figures could be vaguely seen moving.
As for the North Gate, it was hidden better, not letting the garrison discover any clues. Only the Deputy Lieutenant was vaguely looking forward to something, and the light mixed with deep meaning in his eyes when looking at the North Gate camp.
"No abnormalities found in the other three directions for the time being!" A garrison soldier came to the East Gate to report.
"Keep the status quo first. It's not clear what the purpose of the bandits is, so don't take it lightly!"
A shrill horn cut through the morning fog. Luo Feng didn't let the garrison wait for long, and launched an attack as soon as the formation was lined up!
"Brothers! Charge!"
"Kill!!!"
The earth-shaking shouts of killing erupted suddenly!
The bandit archers, under the cover of shields, carried out suppressive throwing at the city wall, and arrows poured onto the battlements like raindrops.
The stones and fireballs thrown by the catapults smashed onto the city wall with a whistling sound, making a dull roar.
Seeing that the bandits really launched an attack, the garrison immediately reacted.
"Hurry and call the Colonel! The bandits are attacking!"
"Archers prepare to counterattack, rolling logs and stones prepare, burn hot gold juice! Never let the bandits climb the city wall!"
A series of orders were issued, and the garrison on the city wall began to counterattack.
Dozens of scaling ladders were pushed toward the city wall by the bandits howling.
The garrison fought back with rolling logs and stones, smashing the climbing bandits down, and pushing away the scaling ladders with long poles.
The scalding gold juice was poured down, and a shrill wail sounded under the city, and a nauseating burnt smell permeated the air.
The battle entered a white-hot stage from the beginning, and the East Gate became a huge meat grinder.
It could be said that the bandits' first attack was quite fierce, and the morale of not breaking the city gate and not stopping made everyone dumbfounded.
This also made everyone believe that the main force of the bandits was here, presumably wanting to break through the East Gate in one fell swoop.
The battering ram, under cover, arrived at the city gate and began to smash the city gate.
"Thump!! Thump!!"
One dull thud after another beat on the hearts of the garrison. Fortunately, they hadn't done nothing these days. The inside of the city gate was blocked tightly, and it wouldn't be broken in a short time.
"No! The East Gate needs support!"
The Deputy Lieutenant of the North City looked at the fire at the East Gate and ordered seriously below: "Five hundred people go to the East Gate to help!"
Someone under the Deputy Lieutenant hesitated and said: "This... what about the North Gate?"
"I'm still here! Besides, there is no movement at the North Gate. If the support is late and the East Gate is broken, we will all die! Why don't you hurry?" The Deputy Lieutenant roared, looking like he was considering for everyone.
"Yes!"
No one questioned the Deputy Lieutenant anymore, and hurriedly took weapons to rush to the East City to help.
Seeing this, the Deputy Lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief. Next, it depends on whether Menghuzhai believes him.
Not long after, there was movement in the North City.
A bandit elite of several hundred people, using the thick fog and the noise of the East battlefield as cover, quickly approached the city wall.
The garrison at the North City looked much sparser than the East side, and seemed a bit absent-minded.
Suddenly, there was chaos on the North City wall! Several garrison soldiers seemed to have internal strife and started fighting, and exclamations and the sound of blades colliding sounded.
"It's now! Go!" Xiexiezi gave an order.
Hundreds of flying hooks were thrown onto the city wall silently. The bandits hung sharp blades at their waists and climbed up rapidly like agile apes.
At the same time, several scaling ladders were also hooked onto the city wall.
Due to the deliberate indulgence and chaos created by the Deputy Lieutenant and his confidants, the climbing bandits almost didn't encounter effective resistance and quickly occupied a small position on the city wall.
"Enemy attack! The North Gate has enemies climbing the wall!"
Finally, a garrison soldier who was loyal to his duty discovered the situation and warned loudly and shrilly.
But it was too late at this moment, Xiexiezi had already climbed onto the city wall.
Xiexiezi held the Zhanma Dao and stood at the very front, followed by dozens of brothers. Everyone gathered together to form a formation to protect the breakthrough point, and subsequent soldiers kept pouring up.
Jiang Ze quickly climbed the city wall and shouted at Xiexiezi: "Brother Xie, you go to open the city gate, I'll take it here!"
Now behind them was the only opening for the brothers to climb the city wall, which must not be easily driven back by the garrison.
"Good!"
Xiexiezi didn't talk nonsense, took the lead, cut down the Team Leader of the North Gate garrison, and led a team to kill down the city wall, rushing to the city gate tunnel.
"Hurry! Lower the drawbridge! Open the city gate!"
The garrison in the city tried to block, but was killed by Xiexiezi and retreated steadily.
The heavy door valve was cut off, the winch turned, the iron chain rattled, and the huge city gate was slowly pushed open!
The bandits who had been waiting not far outside the city saw the city gate tunnel open and immediately launched a charge!
Zhang Honghong was at the front, raised his spear and shouted: "Kill for me!"
The North Gate had only a thousand people, and five hundred were transferred away by the Deputy Lieutenant's excuse. Now there were only a few hundred garrison soldiers, how could they be the opponents of more than two thousand bandits?
Seeing that things were going well, the Deputy Lieutenant immediately raised the weapon in his hand and shouted: "Brothers! Surrender! We are not the opponents of Menghuzhai!"
As soon as the words fell, he took the lead in throwing down the weapon in his hand and squatted on the ground very sensibly.
The garrison soldiers looked at each other and began to throw down their weapons and surrender.
Seeing this, Xiexiezi didn't have the slightest hesitation, immediately came to the Deputy Lieutenant's side, grabbed the other party and ran into the city.
After these garrison soldiers couldn't be seen, Xiexiezi let go of the other party's lapel: "Brother, hurry, take me to find Zhang Chengze!"
"Good!" The Deputy Lieutenant nodded fiercely, didn't delay, and immediately ran to the front to lead the way.
Jiang Ze and Zhang Honghong were guarding at the North Gate. Now the war hadn't ended. According to Luo Feng's arrangement, they had to guard this city gate so that the brothers who entered the city wouldn't be surrounded and killed.
Of course, the primary task was to collect all the weapons of the North Gate garrison, then tie everyone up to avoid causing trouble later.
Xiexiezi led a lot of troops and rushed into the city, and at this moment Zhang Chengze had just received the news that the bandits were attacking.
"These bandits, they are truly endless!" Zhang Chengze was angry, dressed well and prepared to go to the city gate, but didn't expect another message to come.
"North Gate! The North Gate was broken!"
Two bad news followed one after another, and Zhang Chengze even doubted that he hadn't woken up yet.
"What's going on? Didn't you just say that the bandit army was attacking the East City? Why was the North Gate broken?"
The person who came to report was a garrison soldier from the West City, saying miserably: "I don't know! From far away, I only saw the North Gate wide open, and the bandits all poured in!"
Zhang Chengze heard the urgent report that the North Gate was lost and the enemy army had entered the city, as if struck by lightning, his face instantly turned pale.
