The Golden Crow fell and dyed the sky orange. The sky gradually darkened, and there were no torches on the city wall yet.
Jiang Pengji led the troops to lie in ambush outside the city, calmly waiting for the right time to strike. A sense of dreariness pressed down on everyone's hearts.
Facing the cold, kind, and honest Meng Hun, the troops still dared to joke with him after they had completed their training. The overall atmosphere was not very solemn. However, Jiang Pengji was the leader this time. She did not say any unnecessary words, nor did she deliberately show her majesty with a straight face. She only needed to glance at the troops with her calm eyes, and they could not help but straighten their backs and tense their nerves.
After a long time, some of them came back to their senses and were shocked to find that their palms were sweating nervously.
Different generals bring out different soldiers. This saying was indeed true.
Jiang Pengji looked up at the sky. The moon might not be too bright tonight.
"You stay here. I will go and clean up the sentries on the city wall. Pay attention to the ambush and don't expose yourself." Jiang Pengji measured the distance between the city wall and the city wall with her eyes and began to calculate the safest route in her mind. Her dark eyes seemed to brighten a little.
The troops wanted to intercept her, but Meng Hun did not agree. After all, it was too dangerous.
As Jiang Pengji's private troops, they could not let her get hurt even if they all died here.
Jiang Pengji glanced at the troops and sneered. "Look carefully. As a member of the Liu's troop, you know what you should do. Real elite troops are not qualified by holding a modified crossbow. "
She took two bundles of ropes and stomped on the ground. Her body was agile and light, and her speed was even more astonishing.
Like the most agile black cat, she freely shuttled through the shadows that were getting darker and darker.
Seeing her desperate move, everyone in the troop held their breath nervously, and their hearts were in their throats.
The expected exposure did not happen. They had been through years of systematic training, so they more or less knew the trick.
Jiang Pengji arrived at the city gate with ease. She used both her hands to accurately find a foothold. Her body stuck to the wall like a gecko, and she climbed up easily. In less than two breaths, she had already climbed half of the way up. Everyone in the troop was stunned.
Because of the distance, they could only see a black shadow moving quickly up the city wall. But there was no doubt that it was their Langjun. Although the current city walls were mostly made of stones and sand and were not smooth and seamless, it was extremely difficult for her to climb it as easily as if she was walking on flat ground. They widened their eyes nervously, and the audience in the live broadcast room did not dare to use bullet screens.
According to the situation of Xiangyang District's city walls, many modern rock climbers could easily climb up. However, this was a battlefield. If they were discovered by the enemy, they would be shot by arrows in the next second. Who could maintain their composure and perform normally under the threat of high pressure?
The city walls of Xiangyang District were much shorter than those of Shangjing District. They were not built as neatly and luxuriously. Jiang Pengji did not expend much effort.
"Sigh …" A member of the Tsing Yi Army, who was standing guard nearby, yawned. Two drops of physiological tears squeezed out from the corners of his eyes. Before he could close his mouth, a chill flashed across his neck. Even before the pain could reach his brain, he was already dead.
When Jiang Pengji killed the soldier of the Tsing Yi Army, she flipped over the city wall. At the same time, she hooked her long leg and threw him off the tower.
Puff –
The corpse fell off the city wall.
Not only was there mud, but there was also lush grass. The sound of the corpse falling was not loud.
It was the time to be sleepy. The members of the Tsing Yi Army had been standing guard for a long time. Their reflexes were slower and they could not react at all.
Jiang Pengji just stepped onto the city wall. She took out her longbow with one hand and nocked three arrows with the other.
Puff – Puff – Puff –
Three sounds were heard almost at the same time. The arrows pierced through the neck from the side and pierced the trachea. Following that, the three corpses of the Tsing Yi Army fell. They did not make any sound before they died. However, the sound of the corpses falling still alerted the members of the Tsing Yi Army who were standing guard.
Jiang Pengji turned over and rolled over. She hid in the shadow formed by the teeth of the wall. It was darker there than other places.
"What's that sound? Someone … "
Due to the darkening night sky, he did not see clearly what happened. He only realized that the figure three feet away from him had disappeared.
Just as he took a step forward, something seemed to fall from the archer tower in the distance. He carefully widened his eyes and felt a pain in his throat. An arrow appeared strangely in front of his eyes. His brain did not have time to think about how the arrow came about. His vision turned black and the world spun.
Jiang Pengji muttered to herself, "There aren't many archer towers …"
She swiftly killed the sentries on the two archer towers and then dealt with the members of the Tsing Yi Army on the city wall with peace of mind.
Jiang Pengji's brain was like a machine that operated according to its condition. She calmly calculated and analyzed the surrounding enemies and their locations. Her assassination speed was frighteningly fast. There was bound to be blood when she attacked. At least one life was taken. Within five or six breaths, the members of the Tsing Yi Army on the city wall had been wiped out by her alone. The audience in the streaming room counted the number of people who had died. They felt their hair stand on end.
Jiang Pengji's breathing was still calm. It was impossible to tell that she had killed more than 40 people in a row.
She tied two bundles of rope to the battlement of the wall and put them down. At that moment, the troops had already started moving. They quickly climbed up the city wall along the ropes.
Because Jiang Pengji could only carry a limited amount of rope, the troops who climbed up followed her method to tie new ropes and put them down.
Not long after, more than 200 troops had climbed up the city wall.
At that moment, the sun had completely set. In another quarter of an hour, it was time to change shifts on the city wall and light up the torches.
Jiang Pengji made a few hand gestures. The troops understood.
She did not go down the city wall using the stairs. Instead, she pulled a rope and landed quickly in the shadows.
"Oh …"
After a short, soft groan, Jiang Pengji broke the necks of the guards at the city gate with her bare hands. She hid their bodies in the shadows of the city entrance.
She opened the bolt of the city gate and let the rest of the troops in.
Because of the atrocities committed by the Tsing Yi Army, the people did not dare to go out at night. They were afraid that they would lose their lives if they met the mob. The streets were empty.
Just as Xu Ke said, there were more than 10,000 members of the Tsing Yi Army in Xiangyang District. It seemed like a lot, but they were divided to guard the various city gates. The troops were scattered and could not be gathered in a short time. They were not a threat at all. Jiang Pengji led the troops into the city without losing a single person.
Of course, the ease in the early stage did not mean that the attack would be successful.
"Follow me!" Jiang Pengji waved her hand. She planned to attack the district headquarters of Xiangyang District directly.
After they left, the Tsing Yi Army who arrived late finally discovered the corpses on the city wall and the ropes on the battlement.
"The enemy … enemy attack at the west city gate …"
A scream of terror broke the silence of the night.
When the Tsing Yi Army rushed to the west city gate, Jiang Pengji had already divided her troops into two groups.
