Chapter 24: Aliens Attack the City

The moonlight at night illuminated the darkness, and only a few lights flickered on the silent city walls. The soldiers guarding the city were drowsy and had no idea of ​​the impending crisis.

Under the cover of night, a disorganized alien army quietly appeared outside the city. They were wearing tattered sheepskin coats and holding broken iron knives, preparing for a thrilling night attack.

In the darkness of night, most of the young and strong alien soldiers who were arranged by Jin Wushu to break through the fortifications in the front approached the city wall silently.

They took advantage of the shadow of the city walls and the cover of the trees and approached the city gate step by step.

At this time, the soldiers guarding the city were still sleeping, unaware of the impending crisis.

When Jin Wushu saw this situation, he sighed and shook his head.

It can only be said that Dongning Pass has not encountered danger for too long. On weekdays, the most dangerous situation the soldiers guarding the city may encounter is the rebellious ignorant people in the countryside.

"kill!"

The ragged young men of foreign race in front of the city suddenly launched a fierce attack.

They used makeshift ladders made of wood and bamboo to climb up the city wall, and fought fiercely with the soldiers defending the city with their broken and shaky swords.

The lights on the city wall went out instantly, and the city was in chaos.

The soldiers defending the city were awakened and fought hastily, but they were unable to withstand the fierce attack ignited by the fanaticism of the refugees.

"Ugh!"

Looking at the shocking situation on the city wall, Jin Wushu was speechless again.

The current battle scene on the city wall is simply unbearable to watch, it looks like a bunch of weaklings pecking at each other.

Logically speaking, the soldiers on the city wall are well-equipped and in good physical condition.

As the only large-scale checkpoint connecting Cangzhou with the Central Region, these soldiers usually make a lot of money.

And what about those alien races?

They were all pale and skinny, and it was unclear whether the swords in their hands could kill people.

How much strength can you expect from a group of refugees who have fled all the way here?

A group of refugees who were so hungry that they could hardly walk, even with their passion, suddenly burst out with extraordinary fighting power.

But things will soon return to normal, my physical condition won’t allow it!

However, the current reality on the city wall is that this group of opponents, who are obviously not in the same league, are actually fighting back and forth!
No wonder that once the foreign tribes in history broke through the strong pass in the north, they would rush all the way.

Peace has lasted too long and the military has become too lax.

In fact, the soldiers defending the city on the city wall only need a leading general or captain.

Even if they were unable to react for a moment, they would soon regroup and begin slaughtering these refugees.

Unfortunately, there is currently no place within Dongning Pass that is close to the city wall and meets this requirement.

Most of them are already lying at home with a spider pattern.

Luowang Assassin, mission accomplished!
At this time, in other directions not far from Dongning Pass.

A troop of soldiers was stationed here quietly, including a group of heavily armored cavalrymen whose entire bodies were wrapped in heavy armor, and even their horses were wrapped in a layer of iron armor!

It was Yuwen Chengdu who had just disappeared!
At this time, he was leading the army that was supposed to split into two groups with Chang Ke's troops to support Taiping Pass, and appeared outside Dongning Pass.

And those one thousand heavily-armored cavalry were naturally Jin Wushu’s own iron cavalry - the Iron Pagoda!

Implanting an identity has been Jin Wushu’s dream since he was a child. Not long ago, he got the support of Su Ye and established such a war weapon.

In the late Song Dynasty, the training cost of a standard Iron Pagoda could train 15 elite infantrymen!
Even though the Yun Palace and the Jiuxiao Army are powerful and wealthy, they would not allow a young boy who has not accomplished anything to mess around.

Besides, the Jiuxiao Army also has its own heavy cavalry. It is not easy to support this group of men, so how can they allow you to do whatever you want?

In other words, Su Ye paid for these 1,000 iron pagodas from the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce. There was no other way. The price of these 1,000 iron pagodas could raise an elite army of tens of thousands of people outside.

Even if Su Ye has a lot of private money, he can't afford this!

The reason why Jin Wushu was given a thousand Iron Pagodas was that he considered that the Iron Pagodas would indeed have fighting power in his hands, and he also needed a heavy cavalry that could be called upon at any time.

It can be said that on the battlefield, ordinary soldiers fight against people, while Iron Pagoda fights against the enemy's nest!

Swish!
"General, there's news from inside Luowang. We can set off now!"

Just as Yuwen Chengdu was waiting quietly, a dark shadow suddenly jumped out and knelt on one knee.

"set off!"

Yuwen Chengdu, who had been waiting for a long time and was a little bored, was cheered up when he heard this.

The bright moonlight fell on Yuwen Chengdu's mighty golden armor, reflecting the resolute faces of the soldiers.

Outside Dongning Pass, following the group of foreign ragtag troops, a huge army also quickly arrived.

They were lined up in an orderly manner, wearing armor and holding spears, looking majestic.

"Attack, leave no one behind!"

Looking at the mismatched coalition forces of different races, Yuwen Chengdu's mouth twitched, but he quickly reacted and gave a cold order.

Although they are just a group of refugees, when they point their weapons at others, they become a group of thugs.

As for the same race?
Stop making trouble!

The major tribes on the grassland have the same attitude towards other tribes as they do towards the Central Plains.

Besides, so what even if they are from the same tribe?
These people in the Central Plains are from the same clan!
It was still a fight to the death, and Yuwen Chengdu grew up in Jiuxiao City.

Except for the nominal bloodline, the others.
Regarding the Yuwen tribe, Yuwen Chengdu can only say
It’s irrelevant, don’t get involved!

After Yuwen Chengdu led his troops to arrive, as his military orders were passed down, the army behind him immediately took action.

They were wearing armor, holding weapons, and marching in unison.

They pounced on the large group of "alien armies" like wolves and tigers.

These are all military achievements!
Moreover, it seems that the difficulty of this military achievement is a bit low, so what are you waiting for?
Grab it quickly!

In ancient times, joining the army and gaining military merit was one of the most hopeful options for the lower-class people to turn their lives around.

As for why such a weak alien race would attack Dongning Pass and even hit the city wall?

This is not something that a group of soldiers like them should consider.

They only know that the opportunity to turn things around has come!
At this time, the old, weak and sick people in the rear of the group of deceived aliens saw the arrival of the officers and soldiers, and they were suddenly panicked.

Most of their young and strong men have now climbed up the city wall, and only the old and weak who can't even climb up are left below.

They tried to flee, but the army quickly surrounded them and trapped them in a small area.

The army used knives, swords, bows and arrows to launch a brutal massacre against this group of old and weak people.

The refugees were knocked to the ground, and wailing sounds were heard one after another.

When Yuwen Chengdu saw this scene, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

Let him kill the elite troops on the battlefield, he won't feel anything no matter how many they kill.

But in front of him at this moment was a group of refugees who couldn't even get enough food to eat, which really touched his bottom line.
