I don't know why, the torches on the stone wall are not lit intensively, it seems that the defenders prefer the dark night. Because of the darkness, the Mengyuan scouts hiding behind the rocks in the canyon couldn't even see if there were defenders on the city wall, and couldn't hear a sound from all around, as if they had fallen into another space quietly.
The scout felt a little swollen when he stared at it, but he still didn't see anyone walking on the stone wall. He frowned and thought for a while, then turned and went back to report.
About half an hour later, Teqin Kok Tai Menglie stopped at about 150 steps outside the stone wall, found a stone to hide himself, and then raised his clairvoyance to look carefully at the top of the city wall. The clairvoyance in his hand was a gift from Li Yuanshan. Merchants in Eastern Chu were unwilling to enter the grassland to do business, because they thought that the Mongolian people were cruel and unreasonable. That's why Fan Gu was so prosperous back then. Merchants from Eastern Chu brought their goods to Fan Gu and traded with grassland people under the Han system, which made them feel at ease.
Once a courageous Eastern Chu merchant entered the prairie, trying to open a new trade route. Unfortunately, he didn't understand the character of the prairie people at all, and those herdsmen didn't care about the price he set, and dropped a few silver coins to pick up The goods are gone, or simply exchanged for horses.
If they disagree, the herdsmen draw their swords.
But what is the use of horses for Eastern Chu merchants? If they wanted to return to Eastern Chu, they had to go through the Sui Dynasty, and the Mongolian and Yuan people would never allow war horses to flow into the territory of the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, when the Eastern Chu businessman walked to the border with hundreds of horses in fear, he was still killed. Meng Yuan's parade cavalry stopped him, and then said that he was a spy of the Sui Dynasty, detained all the horses, and beat him twenty leather whips. Although he didn't kill him, the experience of losing his money this time made him unforgettable for the rest of his life.
Therefore, although the founding of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was far longer than the Great Sui Dynasty, it was far behind in terms of business.
Eastern Chu merchants have traveled all over this continent, and they have reached the farthest east. It is said that after crossing the ocean and passing through the countries on the huge islands, there is an extremely prosperous empire in the east, whose territory is wider than the Mongolian Yuan and richer than the Sui Dynasty.
The Eastern Chu merchants who had been there swore that the people there were the happiest people in the world, because they had a wise monarch, a perfect system, and the most powerful army in the world. If it weren't for the endless ocean, the army of that empire could even come here.
When Yang Yi, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, heard the news, he just twitched his mouth, and his brows seemed to be a little disdainful.
Because the Mongolian Yuan people and Eastern Chu merchants did not communicate with each other, the clairvoyance equipped by the generals of the Sui army was very strange to the Mongolian Yuan people. It was the first time that Kuoketai Menglie held up this thing. When he was far away, he even shouted excitedly.
The people of Eastern Chu said that the civilization level of the eastern empire is much higher than that of the world here.
For such a statement, Quoketai Menglie also sneered.
He never thought that there was any country in this world that was stronger than Meng Yuan.
After staring at the city wall for more than ten minutes, Kuoketai Menglie didn't see any defenders walking back and forth on it. I listened, but I couldn't hear anyone talking. A few dim torches on the stone wall were like will-o'-the-wisps, illuminating only a two or three meter radius.
After hesitating for a few minutes, Kuoketai Menglie turned his head and glanced at the people around him: "Go up and explore, open attack can't win, now it's up to you. Don't be discovered, try to open the city gate, if there is no chance to open it Gate, you have to hold on to the city wall for at least two quarters, and after two quarters, I will personally lead the troops to rush up to meet you."
"Relax Secret Service, this is our mission, we will not fail!"
The person who spoke had a typical prairie appearance, with a square face and a beard. He was wearing the leather robe that the prairie people liked the most. Not only could it withstand the wind and snow, but it was also extremely strong. Nothing unusual.
"I Duoguduo swear to Changshengtian, to open the door for his people to go home tonight."
He hit his chest with his right hand, his face solemn.
"Go."
Kuoktai Menglie nodded: "I believe in your abilities. When Da Khan sent you to my side, to be honest, I didn't feel very comfortable. I think it was because Da Khan didn't trust me. But I have never doubted your ability or your loyalty. Now the Great Khan is calling us back, and you are the key to open that door."
"We walked!"
Duo Guduo stood up, without any weapon on her body.
He turned his head and waved, and dozens of people in black uniforms stood up immediately. These people were the ones that Kuoketai Mengge sent to Meng Lie's side. They said they were his guards, but they were actually monitoring him. These people are masters of Meng Yuan, and they did not participate in the assassination of Luo Yao at the beginning. And because of this, they are still alive.
Dozens of men in black followed behind Duo Guduo, walking through the night like swift and nimble cheetahs. They quickly approached the city wall without making a sound. The way these people run is very different from ordinary people. They actually walk on all fours, and they really look like beasts.
But they were silent, but their eyes were extraordinarily cold.
…
…
A Mongolian man in black glanced at Duo Guduo's hand gesture, nodded his head and let out a very low voice, which was very awkward and made people feel creepy. Then he stretched out his hands to grab the gap in the stone wall, jumped up with both arms, and climbed up at an astonishingly fast speed, almost as if he was running on all fours on a vertical wall.
In the dark, he seemed to be able to see clearly the gaps in the wall, and every contact of his hands and feet fell precisely on the most suitable place.
Such vision is horrifying.
When he was approaching the top of the stone wall, he slowed down and moved up slowly like a leopard that had found its prey. At this time, if someone saw him, they would be surprised to find that he had no shoes, bare feet, and his toes were stuck The cracks in the stone walls are particularly powerful.
He slowly poked his head out and looked up, only to find that there was no one nearby. God endowed him with strength far beyond that of ordinary people, but because of his life experience, his thinking became extraordinarily simple. If a normal person came up and found that there were no defenders on the stone wall, they would immediately suspect that something was wrong. But when he saw no one there, he immediately jumped up, and his hands and feet landed on the ground at the same time without making a sound.
Although his thinking is very simple, but the experience has given him a keen sense of smell, he seems to feel that there is something threatening his existence around him, so his mind becomes a little restless.
But he didn't back down immediately, but looked vigilantly at the darkness around him.
Duo Guduo waited below for a while and didn't hear anything unusual. He waved his hand to signal others to go up. At least 30 men in black climbed up with hands and feet. They were also barefoot and exuded the breath of beasts. Duo Guduo's cultivation seems to be very good, a man in black who went up came down a rope, after Duo Guduo grabbed the rope, the man in black pulled upwards, Duo Guduo took advantage of the situation and kicked on the wall, and it turned out to be He flew up lightly.
When he saw that there was no one around, his nerves tensed immediately.
This is not normal.
There is not a single defender on the stone wall.
Even if the Han people did not expect that they would sneak attack at night, it is impossible for the soldiers not to stay on guard.
So Duo Guduo's first instinct is to go back.
At this moment, the man in black who was farthest away from him suddenly let out a low growl, and then fell down limply. No one saw what happened to him. You must know that the special experience of these men in black since childhood gave them an unparalleled sense of smell and alertness to danger, but this time everyone did not realize where the murderous intention came from in advance.
The second mistake Duo Guduo made was not ordering an evacuation immediately but looking down to check the injuries of the fallen man in black.
The man in black was still bleeding from his neck, as if he had been swept away by some extremely sharp weapon. But they didn't see anyone appearing, and Duo Guduo firmly believed that as long as someone was within 30 meters, he would never be able to hide it from his eyes and ears. But no, they found nothing.
Just when he was wondering, someone from behind let out a low growl again and fell down. Duo Guduo turned pale with fright, at this time she didn't go to investigate the injury of the deceased, but immediately waved her hand to signal everyone to go back.
but
It's too late.
When he turned his head, he saw a man in a black robe walking towards him with a long knife as gentle as water under the moonlight. Because they all have excellent eyesight, they can see the smile on the man's mouth even in the dark.
Dozens of men in black lay down at the same time, and the moment their hands touched the ground, they felt a little more at ease. They touched the ground on all fours, raised their heads to look at the man in black robe, neighing like a wolf encountering an enemy, very low but fierce. Wild animals will make such sounds when they are in crisis, among which wolves are the most well-known. At this moment, the wolf bristled its fur and grinned in warning.
These people seem to be doing just that.
As the black-robed man walked forward, these beast-like men in black retreated. This posture of stepping back on all fours is not a human habit.
Although there was only one person in front of him, Duo Guduo knew that there was no need to stay any longer. The enemy is waiting for them to come, and there may be countless feather arrows behind this person.
"interesting."
Fang Jie looked at the men in black who behaved differently from ordinary people in front of him, and twitched his mouth: "I heard that when I was a scout in Fan Gu, the best scouts in the world are the orcs of the Meng Yuan Royal Court. It is said that you people were specially selected, you grew up with wild beasts, your living habits are no different from wild beasts, you eat raw meat and drink human blood, come and go without a trace, you are the best scout team.”
"And most importantly, you are obedient enough."
Duo Guduo's eyes changed suddenly, and he said a few words in Mongolian language, and the men in black at the front rushed towards Fang Jie, running on all fours, like wolves and leopards. But Duo Guduo immediately turned around, wanting to jump off the stone wall.
At this moment, the black-robed man stepped forward and stepped on a hole in the hard stone wall. The crushed stone disappeared, and Duo Guduo retreated subconsciously, but it was still a bit slow, and his shoulder hurt. , a long gash was cut out of the tough leather robe, and blood gushed out instantly.
Duo Guduo was shocked, and immediately hissed a few times, and those orcs roared and rushed towards Fang Jie. Under such a rapid impact state, they were able to abruptly change their route, suddenly turned a corner halfway and rushed towards the outside of the wall in an attempt to jump off.
But what happened next made Duo Guduo feel a turmoil in his heart.
The black-robed man with the knife disappeared, and when he reappeared, he hacked an orc to death with a knife, then disappeared, and cut off an orc who was about to jump. There is no sign of him. Every time it disappears and every time it appears, it takes the life of an orc.
Dozens of agile orcs were about to jump down almost at the same time, but he kept moving and stopped all the orcs by himself.
It is a very slow process to describe it in words, but it only happened within less than a minute.
This speed cannot be described in words.
At this moment, Duo Guduo felt death.
