Under the night sky.
The army led by Tian Fuyu and Ren Qiong was rushing towards Jiuquan County. There were a total of five thousand elites, and some of them were the elite cavalry that belonged to Tian Fuyu in the past.
Even with the bone-piercing cold wind at night, the five thousand soldiers still braved the cold and quickly moved forward. Finally, when it was close to dawn, they arrived outside Jiuquan County.
The five thousand elites led by Tian Fuyu and Ren Qiong were already quite tired.
After all, they had been rushing through the night.
Fortunately, Tian Fuyu had been in a hurry, and the soldiers under his command would stop to rest and reorganize every once in a while. With that, the soldiers' tiredness was slightly relieved, and they would not be so exhausted.
Under the night sky, a group of people hid in the dark.
Because they were hiding in the dark, the people on the city wall could not see them. However, even so, Du Qi, who had been waiting on the city wall, had already received the news.
Du Qi had already prepared everything.
They were only waiting for Ren Qiong to attack.
Ren Qiong and Tian Fuyu were together, leading a large group of people to rest and recover their fighting strength.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Ren Qiong looked at Tian Fuyu and said seriously, "General Tian, it is about time to attack. We have just arrived at Jiuquan County, so we can take advantage of the situation and break through the county. Now that it is night time, if we act at night, our people in the city will be able to coordinate with us. "
Tian Fuyu nodded, "We can attack, blow the horn! At the same time, light up all the torches, so that all the soldiers in the city can see our camp. "
"Light the torches!"
Tian Fuyu immediately gave the order.
"Blow the horn!"
Ren Qiong shouted, taking advantage of the time to give the order.
After the two orders were given, the soldiers lit up their torches and set them up. The burning of the torches chased away the darkness, exposing the five thousand elites to the eyes of the people on the city wall.
The bugle horn sounded.
It reverberated under the night sky.
This scene gave people a lot of pressure.
"Attack!"
Ren Qiong followed closely and gave the order to attack.
He had to attack.
The fierce attack attracted the attention of the people on the city wall. On one hand, it was to break through the defense of the west gate of Jiuquan County. On the other hand, even if he could not break through the defense, he had to buy time for his people in the city.
This attack was discussed by Ren Qiong and Tian Fuyu. The two of them each sent out a thousand soldiers. A total of two thousand soldiers launched a fierce attack, charging straight for the city gate tower.
Du Qi had already come out of the room.
He was wearing a slightly thin down jacket with armor on the outside. He was dressed neatly. Du Qi was able to see the approximate number of people outside the city as the bandits charged in and the torches were lit outside.
On one hand, there were Ren Qiong's soldiers, but there was also another army. Du Qi's gaze landed on the other party's battle flag. He saw the word "Tian" on it.
Du Qi immediately had a guess.
Was it related to Tian Yu?
Du Qi looked at Xiao Yuan Qi and ordered, "Later, when the enemy attacks the city, try to capture a few people alive and ask them about the situation. As long as we get a clear picture of the situation, we will know the enemy as well as ourselves. Once we find out about the other party's situation, it will be easier to make arrangements. "
"This general understands!"
Xiao Yuan Qi nodded solemnly.
Not long after, the bandits outside the city had already reached the city gate tower. Ladders were placed on the city wall, and the bandits began to climb up, trying to break into Jiuquan County.
Xiao Yuan Qi had already gone to prepare to capture some people for questioning.
Du Qi was mainly responsible for commanding.
Seeing more and more bandits began to climb up, Du Qi decisively ordered the archers to shoot. As the archers drew their bows and arrows, they aimed at the city gate tower and shot.
The arrows pierced through the air, extremely sharp.
In the blink of an eye, they had pierced into the bodies of many bandits. However, it was cold in spring, and it was late at night. All the bandits were wearing thick clothes. Even if the arrows pierced through their clothes, the fatal injuries caused by them were much smaller.
The lethality of the arrows was reduced to the minimum.
Seeing this, Du Qi was not worried, because the soldiers on the city gate tower were prepared. They had enough arrows, so even if they had to waste them, they could afford it.
The arrows were like a dense rain of arrows. Although they could not kill the bandits on a large scale, at least the bandits under the city gate tower were restrained.
The attack was not as fierce as before.
As time went by, there were still bandits climbing up, and they had already closed the distance.
Du Qi ordered again, and they began to pour water down.
The water was boiling. Cauldrons after cauldrons of boiling water were poured directly onto the bandit soldiers. Immediately, the bandit soldiers were scalded and rolled on the ground.
The bandits who had been climbing up the ladders fell down like dumplings.
It was extremely painful to pour boiling water on the body. The most important thing was that when the boiling water was poured on their bodies, it turned cold in the blink of an eye. Their clothes were drenched and they felt cold all over. When the cold wind blew, it was as if they were covered in ice. It was extremely uncomfortable.
This method had become a great killing weapon.
However, this defensive method could only delay it, and could not completely suppress the bandits' attack. Under the continuous attack of arrows, boiling water, and even wooden blocks and stones, the bandits began to attack the city gate tower in large numbers, and they began to climb up the city gate tower along the ladders.
The pressure on the soldiers guarding the city increased sharply.
The soldiers on the city gate tower stabbed out with their spears, killing the bandits who were charging up the city gate tower.
"Hahaha, I've finally killed my way up."
"Dog official, die!"
At the corner of the city gate tower, where the western city turned to the southern city gate tower, a burly man with a six-foot long saber in his hand rushed up, shouting loudly.
This man was called Leiming.
He was a valiant general under Tian Fuyu.
This time, Lei Ming also participated in the attack. He was very clear about the danger of a frontal attack, and also knew that the defense near the city gate tower was the strongest, so he chose a remote corner.
As soon as Leiming rushed up the city gate tower, he swung his saber and killed several soldiers in this section in a few moves. Under Leiming's slashes, he won this period of time, so in a short time, more than ten bandits rushed up and began to pose a threat.
Du Qi's eyes swept over directly.
A cold light flashed in his eyes.
He did not expect that someone would climb up from the southwest corner. Fortunately, even if Leiming was a threat, the long spear soldiers were in formation, which temporarily held the fort and prevented the situation from spreading.
Because Xiao Yuanqi went to the northwest corner, he could not come to the rescue in time, and Ma Yuan was in the city, and Xue Rengui led the soldiers out. At present, they needed a general to go in this direction.
In order to solve this crisis.
"Mordor!"
Du Qi ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
Mordor immediately cupped his fists and answered.
Du Qi said, "Go to the southwest corner immediately and kill all the bandits who rushed up the city gate tower. The enemy's general must be killed as well. We can't let him escape. "
"Yes, sir!"
Mordor received the order and left with the hammer.
The two hammers in his hand were on the city wall, one on the left and one on the right, which were enough to cross the city gate tower. In such a wide area, he was able to make use of it and advance quickly.
Mordor was extremely fast. In a moment, he rushed to the southwest corner. Seeing the long spear soldiers in formation in front of him, Mordor shouted, "Get out of my way, let me do it!"
