Outside the north city.
It was completely silent.
Coming out of the north city, there was an empty beach area filled with countless weeds. Because the beach area was fertile, these weeds were at least half the height of a person.
Beyond the beach area, there was a dam.
Within the dam was the endlessly flowing Mingshui. The entire Mingshui County was built around this ring of Mingshui, surrounded by Mingshui. At this moment, under the dam, there was a crowd of people moving.
They were all the elites under Li Shimin. They were all black armor elite cavalry that had become infantry.
But there were only a thousand people. Although there were not many people, the mission of these thousand people was very important. If they were unable to break through the north gate and kill their way to the south gate, then they would not be able to relieve the pressure from the south gate.
It would be difficult for Li Shimin to win.
In the crowd, the general leading the troops was Jiang Quansheng.
After he escorted Du Qi back to Chang An last year, he directly returned to the army and became the general of the army.
This time, Jiang Quansheng was leading the troops, and he was under a lot of pressure.
Because victory or defeat was in his hands.
Jiang Quansheng poked his head out and looked carefully at the city tower. Looking from afar, he could see that there were not many people on the city tower. There were only a few soldiers stationed there.
Jiang Quansheng waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
The soldiers under his command followed Jiang Quansheng and quickly moved forward. In the blink of an eye, they entered the weeds. After entering the weeds that were half the height of a person, because the forest was dense, it blocked their line of sight and did not expose their identity.
The group of people quickly moved forward.
In the blink of an eye, they had already reached the edge of the weeds. And from the edge of the weeds, they would be below the city tower by another ten steps. At this time, Jiang Quansheng raised his head and looked at the city tower. He could no longer see the soldiers stationed there.
After all, the people stationed there were standing within the city walls. If they did not poke their heads out, it would be a blind spot.
"Go!"
Jiang Quansheng ordered softly.
Following Jiang Quansheng's order, the soldiers under his command had already slowly moved forward. Because there were few people on the city tower, there were not many people who let go, and no one poked their heads out to check.
Six cloud ladders were quietly placed on the city tower. Moreover, the placement of these six cloud ladders was also carefully done. They were gently placed, and there was no sound at all.
Even the soldiers below the city gate tower did not make a sound. They held their breaths and did not speak to avoid exposing their whereabouts.
Not only that, there was still a distance of half a person's height between the cloud ladder and the city tower.
This distance ensured that the ladder would not be discovered.
Even so, it was still quite dangerous and easy to be discovered. Jiang Quansheng had no other choice. He didn't have any weapons to attack the city, and he didn't have many people. It would be difficult to trick the city gate open.
They could only resort to such a risky method.
However, this method was also feasible to a certain extent because there were not many soldiers stationed on the city gate tower.
The soldiers began to move.
Even so, Jiang Quansheng's heart was still thumping as his heartbeat accelerated. He was clearly a little irritable, but Jiang Quansheng forced himself to remain calm.
At the bottom of the six ladders, there were soldiers supporting them to prevent any problems.
More soldiers were already climbing up.
On one of the ladders was Mordor. He didn't carry the hammer, and he didn't even bring his cudgel. Because the hammer wasn't convenient to carry, it was temporarily placed under the city gate tower.
It wouldn't be too late to use the hammer after the city was breached.
Mordor only had a dagger with him. He was agile and quickly climbed up. Not long after, Moledo was already at the top of the ladder with his back bent. Just as he was about to climb up, he suddenly heard a cough from above. Then, a head stretched out, obviously ready to spit.
Immediately, Mordor and the others were discovered.
"Enemy attack …"
The spitting soldier shouted.
However, just as the soldier shouted, Mordor made a prompt decision. He stood up at once, his legs firmly planted on the ladder, and punched the soldier's jaw.
With a thud, the soldier guarding the city fell to the ground with his head facing upwards.
Mordor reached out and climbed on the edge of the city wall. He exerted force with his feet and jumped. Even though his body was burly and strong, he was as agile as an ape. He caught the force of the city wall with both hands and jumped through the air, landing inside the city wall.
He stood directly on the ground.
Mordor panted heavily. After all, climbing over the city wall had consumed a lot of energy.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
There were already shouts on the city gate tower.
Immediately after, the sparse soldiers stationed on the city gate tower had already charged directly with spears in their hands.
There were even two thousand elite soldiers stationed in the north city. When the news of the enemy attack came from the city gate tower, the soldiers in the city had already quickly gathered and charged up the city gate tower.
However, Mordor was not afraid at all.
He was holding a saber in his hand. When he saw the first soldier charging at him, he quickly closed in and slashed with the saber. With a slash, the saber hit the soldier's neck. In an instant, blood spurted out and the neck flew out.
The soldier guarding the city became a headless corpse.
In the blink of an eye, more and more people gathered around Mordor.
However, Mordor was not afraid at all. With a saber in his hand, he did not refuse anyone. When he met the soldiers who were charging at him, he kept swinging his saber and slashing. With a slash, the saber was sharp and carried a sharp whistle. It directly cut off the spear shaft and killed the enemy.
Anyone who came close to Mordor was killed. Mordor attracted the soldiers on the city gate tower and killed the soldiers stationed there one by one. At this time, the soldiers of the Black Armor Elite Cavalry had already gathered.
In a short time, there were more than a hundred people gathered.
However, when there were more than a hundred Black Armor Elite Cavalry, Liu Heita's troops under the city gate tower also charged up.
There were nearly two thousand people.
"Mordor, your iron hammer, take it!"
At this time, Jiang Quansheng's voice came. When he climbed later, he simply separated the two iron hammers and let two soldiers each hold one iron hammer.
With two iron hammers, Mordor's combat power was stronger.
"Thank you!"
Mordor grinned and took the iron hammer with both hands. With the hammer in hand, his whole aura was different. Because Mordor's body and strength were suitable for heavy weapons.
Mordor asked, "Jiang Quansheng, how long will it take for the rest of the people to come up?"
"About fifteen minutes!"
Jiang Quansheng answered.
After all, the ladder was limited. It would take a certain amount of time to climb up the city gate tower. Moreover, there was a garrison on the city gate tower. If they did not get rid of all these people, they would not be able to open the gate.
Therefore, they had to fight the two thousand garrison soldiers first.
Mordor said in a deep voice, "Fifteen minutes it is. Everyone, follow me and kill."
He did not have the idea of retreating.
He also did not have the idea of defending.
On the city gate tower, even if the opponent had a lot of people, because of the width of the city wall, it would make it difficult for more than two thousand people to fight. Therefore, this situation was Mordor's opportunity.
When the Black Armor Elite Cavalry heard the order, they did not hesitate and already followed Mordor to kill.
A group of more than a hundred people against more than two thousand enemies.
Both sides fought in the blink of an eye.
"Those who block me will die!"
Mordor swung the iron hammer in his hand and constantly swept it. Even if the garrison soldiers slashed down with their steel blades, the iron hammer swept past with a "ding ding" sound. The war blades were swept away and the iron hammer smashed on the bodies of the garrison soldiers. One by one, the garrison soldiers died on the spot.
No one could block Mordor's hammer.
In a face-to-face confrontation, they were either killed or injured.
The rest of the Black Armor Elite Cavalry were also elite soldiers on the battlefield. Each of them was good at fighting and had extremely strong killing power. In addition, Mordor was there. Therefore, even if there were only a hundred people, the strength that they burst out on this not wide city gate tower was enough to block the garrison soldiers. They even killed the enemy until they began to retreat.
