Chapter 1340 Ignition is the number

After conquering Danan Gate, the Bingzhou Army set fire to the city gate tower of Danan Gate, and the flames suddenly soared into the sky, making half of the south sky red.

This action of the Bingzhou Army is really puzzling. The entire outer city has been taken down by the Bingzhou Army. It seems that there is no point in setting fire to burn things that are already in your hands. Is it just to vent your anger?

Or they would demonstrate to the defenders and people in Yecheng, and use the burning of the city gate tower to intimidate the defenders. If they dare to continue to resist stubbornly, they would eventually be buried in the fire.

Of course, no one paid attention to these details at this time. The chaotic battle situation has exhausted Sima Jun and has no intention of caring about where the fire is on. What they only care about is whether the inner city can be defended and whether their lives will be lost.

In fact, Wang Jun ordered the burning of the city tower at the south gate to send a signal to Yecheng City. According to the agreement between the teams lurking in Yecheng City in advance, when the Bingzhou Army launches a siege, the fire will be raised as a call, and the teams in the city will respond.

The battle situation is now in chaos. Many fires have caught in the city and outside the city, which has made the lurking troops in the city feel at a loss. I don’t know if it was the fire caused during the battle or the signal sent by the Bingzhou Army.

So Wang Jun simply ordered the big one to light the city gate tower. The city gate tower in Yecheng was tall and majestic, and it could be called a landmark building. When the city gate tower caught fire at this time, it was estimated that the entire Yecheng would be visible inside and outside, and could accurately transmit signals.

When the battle began, Yang Bo, who was staying in the barracks, had already learned about the situation. The Sima army was frequently mobilized, and the sound of fighting and shouts of fighting came from time to time on the city wall. There was no doubt that the Bingzhou army began to attack the city.

After eating the herbs they secretly prepared, the symptoms of diarrhea have disappeared. Most of the five hundred Bingzhou soldiers have recovered. However, in order to confuse Sima Jun, they pretended to be weak one by one. In fact, they are already full of energy and full of combat power.

Being in the enemy camp, Yang Bo did not dare to show his slightest bit of his foot. If Sima Yi noticed something was wrong, these five hundred of them would probably be corpsed on the street.

Therefore, Yang Bo ordered his soldiers not to act rashly, and stay in the military camp honestly and wait for the signals sent by the Bingzhou army when it attacked the city.

Due to the separation of city walls, it became very difficult for them to pass messages between them. The only way was to use fireworks as signals, use wolf smoke during the day and fire at night, and raise the smoke as the number. The army lurking in the city attacked in time and cooperated with the army outside the city to capture the city.

Since they were a guest army and were not within the organization of the Yecheng defenders, they ignored them when the defenders went to the city to fight, or they felt that their group of patients had no combat power. Even if they were sent to the city wall, they could only become a burden. Therefore, when the entire Yecheng army was mobilized to participate in the war, they could stay safely in the military camp.

Yang Bo was paying close attention to the development of the battle situation. Their military camp was in the inner city, close to the south gate. I believe that when Du Yi left, they had already sent their location to Wang Jun.

At this position, they were unable to intervene in the battle on the outer city wall. All Yang Bo could do was wait quietly and wait for the Bingzhou army outside the city to send them a signal.

However, the battle was fierce, and many fires caught in the city and on the walls made Yang Bo feel at a loss. He could not tell that these firelights were not signaled. If he missed it, he would regret it. But if he attacked in advance, it would not have been effective.

Five hundred people, no matter how fewer they say, no more. In the confrontation between tens of thousands of troops on both sides, five hundred people can only be a small team at best, so when they attack, they must seize the opportunity, take decisive action, and make a quick decision.

When the city tower at the Danan Gate caught fire, the fire surged into the sky. Yang Bo naturally saw clearly that the city tower was an important building of the city. Sima's army would not set fire to the city tower for no reason. Then there was only one reason for the city tower to catch fire, that is, the fire deliberately launched by the Bingzhou army.

Perhaps others did not know the intention of the Bingzhou Army to set fire, but Yang Bo knew that this was sending a signal to them. Wang Jun was afraid that they would not see the signal of the fire, so he deliberately lit the city tower at the Danan Gate. It was such a big deal.

The signal of Wang Jun's ignition clearly told Yang Bo that the army of Changshui Camp was launching an attack on the inner city of Yecheng and they needed to cooperate with the action.

Yang Bo did not hesitate anymore and decisively ordered five hundred soldiers to leave the camp and rushed towards the south gate.

Their military camp was only a few hundred steps away from the South Gate. It was just a moment's throw away, and there was chaos along the way. Although it was almost dawn, all the people heard the movements in the city, so naturally no one dared to go out again and quietly peeked at the crack in the door.

At this moment, the soldiers of Sima Jun were running around on the streets, all of whom were panicked and in a hurry. It was obvious that the loss of the outer city wall brought them a great psychological burden. No one knew whether the inner city wall could be defended and whether Yecheng would be lost? This is a major event that is at stake, and no one was concerned about it.

Yang Bo was almost not investigated or questioned during his advance towards the South Gate. After all, they were wearing Sima Jun uniforms, and now they were in the city, so naturally they did not doubt their identities.

Yang Bo’s mission is to grab the city gate of the south gate. Only by opening the city gate can the Bingzhou army outside the city enter the city. This is also the best way to connect the Bingzhou army to enter the city.

But when he arrived at the city gate, Yang Bo found a large group of Sima troops guarding the city gate, with a number of five or six hundred people.

Although Yang Bo did not take this little man seriously, after all, Yang Bo led all the elite infantry of Changshui Camp. If he fought one-on-one, he could easily crush Sima Jun who was guarding the city gate.

It is not difficult to deal with the defenders at the city gate, but once a battle occurs, the defenders in the nearby city will come to reinforce at any time. Yang Bo visually found that there were at least two or three thousand Sima soldiers who could come over in a short period of time. If Yang Bo and the others could not take the lead in taking the city gate, they would inevitably be trapped in the siege of the enemy.

Even if the Sima Army has weaker combat effectiveness, its number of advantages will inevitably make up for the disadvantages of combat effectiveness. The longer the time is, the more unfavorable the situation will be for the Bingzhou Army.

So Yang Bo must find a way to break the enemy and open the city gate as soon as possible.
