Chapter 1213 Breakthrough(2/3)
Probably because he felt too hot and depressing, he simply walked out of the turret, came to the city wall, and looked out of the city.
But the darkness of night covered everything, except for the high mountains outside Huguan, which could still show their dark outlines.
The trees on the mountain were already hidden in black, let alone the figures he wanted to see.
Only from the city gate below, one or two dogs barked occasionally.
Other than that, Guo Xun could only hear the beating of his heart and a slight wheezing sound.
Looking up at the stars in the sky, Guo Xun was mumbling something to himself, but he didn't seem to say anything.
I don't know how long it took, but a fire suddenly lit up on the nearest mountain outside Guancheng.
Then, the second, the third.
The three firelights were a little weak, but in Guo Xun's eyes, they were as bright as the bright moon!
"Come……"
He had just shouted a word, and suddenly bit his tongue tightly.
He suddenly turned around and ran back to the turret like a gust of wind.
"coming!"
The dozen or so people who had been staying in the corner tower suddenly stood up when they saw Guo Xun rush in and say these two words.
"coming?"
"coming!"
Guo Xun's face, illuminated by candlelight, even became a little distorted with excitement.
"Quick, get ready."
After rehearsing it countless times, these people set off immediately.
"You take people to the city gate, and when you hear the signal from the city, raise the winch immediately!"
"You and others will block the intersection to prevent thieves from rushing over!"
"Also, these hanging baskets, just in case..."
The county soldiers on the city wall were quickly alerted and became a little noisy.
"Silence! Don't make any noise, lest you disturb the people in the city!"
Guo Xun followed and ordered:
"Let them all pick up their coins! Anyone who dares to drop them will be dealt with according to military law!"
This time, apart from the Wei army's low scoldings and the occasional slight clash of weapons, there was no other sound.
After arranging all this, Guo Xun returned to the top of the city and asked people to light three torches and swing them back and forth vigorously.
Then he opened his eyes wide and stared closely at the dark city.
At this time, Guo Xun felt that time was passing so slowly, as if there was no movement at all.
Just when he felt that the night was over, three more lights finally appeared under the city.
At this time, Guo Xun finally couldn't suppress his excitement and shouted:
"Hurry up!"
After the torch at the top of the city responded, it sent a signal to the city gate inside the city.
The winch started to rattle.
"Woof woof woof!"
"Woo, woof woof woof..."
The police dogs guarding the city gate didn't know if they noticed something was wrong or heard strange noises outside the city gate.
They began to become restless and sounded warnings to the people inside the city gate.
Soon, the dozen or so police dogs that were bolted to the city gate were all barking wildly.
Their barks even caused a chain reaction of watchdogs in the city in the distance.
"It's so noisy! Tell them to shut up, or they will wake up the thieves behind!"
Wei Jun, who was leading people to turn the winch of the city gate, ordered impatiently.
After a while of fussing, the dog's barking was suppressed for a few breaths, and then it started barking again.
"It's my mother's fault!"
The leader couldn't help but cursed.
However, he could only curse, because at this time, the city gate was already making a harsh sound like grinding teeth.
The Wei army, who had been waiting outside for a long time, couldn't wait to squeeze in when the city gate was raised and they could just go in and out.
"Light the torch!"
The leading Wei general gave the order directly.
The city gate continued to be pulled up, and more and more Wei troops continued to pour into the pass.
Torches were also lit continuously, and soon, it was as bright as day outside the city gate.
The noise of the Wei army and the barking of dogs mixed together, making the city gate lively.
The leader, General Wei, glanced at the chained police dogs not far away. When he saw them baring their teeth and barking at them, he drew out his knife and stepped forward.
"Whoa!"
A dog's head was severed.
The remaining police dogs felt as if their throats were being strangled, and they could only let out low whimpers.
It was just the unusual barking of the police dogs that finally alerted the Han army camp in the distance.
"what happened?"
One of the team leaders was sleeping lightly. He got up in a daze, walked to an open area of the camp, and looked in the direction of the city gate.
"I don't know."
The captain of the sentry on duty at the camp was also a little confused.
"How long have you been calling?"
"It's been a while."
"Didn't the city send anyone here?"
"No."
"That should be fine?"
When he said this, the team leader himself was a little unsure.
Guo Shenjun personally led the team tonight. No matter how bad the county soldiers were, if something happened, it would be impossible for them not to be able to get the news out.
But what's going on with those barking dogs?
Those dogs at the city gate are not ordinary dogs, they are used exclusively by the military...
In the midst of doubts, the barking of dogs at the city gate suddenly stopped.
After listening again, he found that he did not hear the barking of dogs from the other side of the city gate. The team leader breathed a sigh of relief:
"It seems like nothing is wrong..."
At this time, the sentry on duty on the archery tower trotted over:
"There seems to be something wrong with the city gate!"
"What?"
"Over there, there seems to be people gathering at the city gate, and there are fires!"
"Something really happened?"
"Quick, send someone to wake them up and go over and take a look!"
…
"Master, the city gate is completely under our control."
Sima Yi, who had been waiting outside the city, laughed heartily when he heard this:
"Okay, okay! Let's go into the city!"
After the Wei army entered the city, Guo Xun had already descended from the city wall and was waiting inside the gate.
"Xian Xiao, you have made great achievements!"
As soon as Sima Yi entered the city, he dismounted from his horse and walked forward quickly. Before Guo Xun could speak, he had already held his arms tightly:
"You have made an immortal contribution, Xiao Xian!"
