A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 188 Chengdu City Under Firelight

After exchanging soldiers as promised, the time is gradually approaching midnight.

Same as last night, the time of this operation was still set in the early hours of the morning, and at the time of the operation, Lu Bu also sent people to lead Zhao Yun and others to the vicinity of Chengdu City.

The plan is progressing as scheduled, and the work of excavating the city wall is in full swing. The city of Chengdu is very quiet, and almost no sound can be heard.

When the time came, around three o'clock in the morning, two of the three excavation sites were voluntarily abandoned.

The reason for giving up is also very simple, that is, if the current excavation progress continues, I am afraid that after dawn, there is no way to dig through all the city walls.

Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of the plan, as the leader of this operation, Zhao Yun resolutely gave up the other two digging points.

But giving up is giving up, and the excavators who stayed here before still did not leave. Although they did not continue to dig, they still had to pretend to be digging to deceive those. A guard will appear.

Half an hour later, the gap that was actually dug had already touched the last layer of the city wall.

When piles of soil and stones were transported out of the gap, the appearance of the last layer of the wall was gradually revealed in front of everyone.

It was a wall like an iron plate, and its thickness and hardness were much higher than the walls in the middle.

But even so, that wall is still not as hard as the bluestone wall.So although the follow-up excavation work is more troublesome than before, it is not as severe as last night.

The excavation work progressed until four o'clock in the morning, and the last layer of the wall had begun to show cracks. At this time, Chengdu was still silent.

"Send someone to patrol tonight? I really don't want to move my body now, or you can go for me!"

In the patrol pavilion of Chengdu City, two lazy soldiers stood leaning against the wall. The non-stop garrison for the past few days has already made their spirits reach the stage of being on the verge of collapse.

At this time, what they need most is rest, but in the order of their superiors, they did not see the clause of rest.

Helpless, they could only drag their tired bodies and continue to stick to their posts. As for the previously stipulated rule of patrolling every hour, they were also doing it perfunctorily.

"Let's go! If you don't go, if something happens, the two of us can't afford it!"

The soldier who had closed his eyes before suddenly woke up from his sleep. He was gradually regaining consciousness, and he pushed his partner beside him to remind him.

"I have more than enough heart but not enough energy. If you want to go, then you can go by yourself. I will guard here!"

The partner still squinted his eyes, and responded vaguely, and sometimes he couldn't even hear what he was talking about.

"Sleep, sooner or later you will die here!"

The guard still felt that something was wrong, in order to calm his mind, he finally left a harsh word and walked out of the guard booth.

And just when he stepped out of the gate of the guard booth and faced the cold night wind, a faint tapping sound penetrated his ears.

At first he thought it was an illusion, but when he stopped and listened carefully, he realized that it was not an illusion at all.

And from the edge of the corner, he also saw a little bit of faint light.

At this moment, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his mind, which even made him panic for a while.

In a panic, the guard hurried back to the guard booth, slapped his sleeping partner awake, stared at his scarlet eyes, and told his partner what he saw just now.

The partner who was suddenly woken up was still in anger, but when he heard the guard tell what he had seen and heard, the partner suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Immediately afterwards, the partner directly lit the communication candle at night.

In the dark night, the flames soared into the sky, instantly lighting up the sky.

The guards in the distance and the soldiers in the city all smelled a trace of death in this bright light.

"Not good! The enemy seems to have found us!"

Just as the soldiers outside the city were digging hard, the bright light that soared into the sky instantly made everyone feel that something had been revealed.

"Don't worry about them, dig quickly! As long as we can open this gap, there will be no danger!"

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, Zhao Yun followed the soldiers who dug the city wall and fought together from beginning to end.

At this time, they were also holding hoes and shovels, alternately excavating the stone slabs of the city wall.

"Here!"

Under Zhao Yun's order, the slightly stagnant soldiers accelerated the excavation speed of the city wall again.

A few minutes later, when the last city wall was knocked down, there were several spears mixed with the strong wind coming from the city, enough to take the lives of soldiers.

"careful!"

Under the moonlight, the sharp spear reflected light in the slightly dark passage.

As soon as Zhao Yun's reminder came out, two soldiers fell into a pool of blood.

Immediately afterwards, many soldiers on Zhao Yun's side hurriedly took over the weapons handed over by the soldiers behind them, and began to counterattack the defenders in the city.

At the same time, the thousands of soldiers who had already stayed here hurriedly gathered towards the gap.

And when the two sides were fighting, the order to pretend to attack was also quickly passed to Lu Bu.

The excavation work on the side of the gap is still going on accordingly.

As the excavation work progressed, the gap that was destroyed at this time also gradually expanded in scope.

With the expansion of the scope, the number of combatants is also gradually increasing.

In an instant, blood and screams became the characteristics of this gap, and a corpse was dragged out of the gap.

Among them were Duhuo's soldiers and the city's defenders.

The two sides had only been fighting for half an hour, and Lu Bu's feint attack had officially started.

When the first siege was launched, the city of Chengdu was already brightly lit.

Chengdu Chengfu Hall.

Liu Zhang, who just woke up from his sleep, Liu Xun, who was pacing back and forth in the tent, and the soldiers in a mess, just outlined a picture scroll of jumping around.

"What are you still doing here, why don't you rush to the enemy!"

After a few seconds of silence, Liu Zhang suddenly shouted hysterically at Liu Xun.

"Father, calm down first! Can't you see that I am thinking? I never believe that Liu Bei will attack the city at this time, especially after Huang Quan just left the city!" Liu Xun said angrily.
