Chapter 405
It was too late, but it was fast, but the square cloth was as fast as a whirlwind, and it had already rushed to the city gate. Before anyone arrived, the knife arrived first, and a cold light slid down along the door leaf. Countless fingers were placed on the side of the door leaf.
They were all chipped away.
Suddenly, a miserable howl sounded inside the door, but it seemed that this could not stop the city gate from closing. The huge door leaf delayed slightly, and then creaked again.
Seeing that the two doors were closed, Fang Bu flew forward and kicked the door leaf hard. The thick door leaf only trembled and was unscathed, but another painful howl came from behind the door.
It turned out that several people were knocked out and smashed to pieces.
The soldiers guarding the city also worked hard. More than a dozen people pushed the heavy wooden door with all their strength. It was only a few inches away. As long as the door bolt was inserted, everything would be fine.
But even with these few inches of distance, they couldn't close it no matter how hard they tried. Fang Bu raised his foot outside the door and kicked it seven or eight times in succession, causing the door to keep moving.
The ground is shaking.
Deng Ai and others ran all the way and rushed forward desperately. When they saw Fang Bu using his own strength to prevent the opponent from closing the city gate, Deng Ai and others were overjoyed. They worked together to push the city gate.
The dozen or so soldiers guarding the city completely collapsed. With the combined strength of a dozen of them, they were no match for a square cloth. Even after a lot of effort, they could not close the city gate. So what if they were exhausted at this moment?
He was the opponent of the ten men on the other side. Soon the city gate was pushed open again. Deng Ai shouted and rushed towards the city gate hole with his sword raised.
The Shu soldiers deliberately wanted to resist, but with their abilities, how could they be the opponents of these ten wolf-like and tiger-like masters? However, in the blink of an eye, Deng Ai and others were chopping melons and vegetables.
The guards at the city gate were cleared.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, several of them quickly ran away. Deng Ai was busy cleaning up the mess and did not care to pursue them.
Yangping Pass is just a small city, about two or three miles wide from north to south, and about one mile wide from east to west, so if something happens at the east city gate, the garrison in the pass will notice it almost immediately and rush towards it quickly.
Deng Ai secretly screamed in his heart that it would not take long for the Shu army in the city to rush over, but Cao Liang was still three or four miles outside the city. Even with the cavalry that had been prepared, it would take some time to rush over. Ten of them would
Facing the Shu soldiers coming like a tide, how can we stop them?
If it cannot be stopped, not only will all previous efforts be wasted, but the Yueqi battalion will no longer have the opportunity to sneak attack Yangping Pass.
Just when Deng Ai was secretly exclaiming that it was bad, Fang Bu said calmly: "Deng Sima, go and inform the young master immediately that some of these chickens and dogs are coming to stop him!"
As he spoke, Fang Bu held the knife in his right hand and pointed the tip of the knife diagonally at the ground. He walked calmly towards the city gate. This was a corridor that was more than ten feet long. Due to the light, it was dark and deep, with only the end of the corridor
, then you can see those lights.
At this time, shouts were heard from the other end of the corridor. Countless Shu soldiers had already rushed over. The footsteps were noisy and the shouts were deafening.
Opposite him was the lonely figure of Fang Bu. He stopped there, the tip of his ring-shou knife not moving at all.
Deng Ai originally wanted to help, but Fang Bu's back was so aloof and arrogant that for a moment, he was stunned.
The soldier next to him immediately reminded him: "Deng Sima, it's time to send a signal to Captain Cao."
Deng Ai was immediately alarmed. He yelled and hurriedly walked out of the city gate. Due to the long distance, it was not convenient to shout or send flags, so Cao Liang communicated with Deng Ai in advance about the summons and decided
It is better to use beacon smoke to transmit the signal. If Deng Ai succeeds, he will light the beacon smoke outside Yangping Pass and pass the signal to Cao Liang.
Wolf smoke can be said to be one of the most effective means of communication. As long as the weather is good, the transmission distance of beacon smoke can reach up to a hundred miles away, and in terms of timeliness, it has an unparalleled advantage over the stagecoach. As long as there is
Just light up the fire and the news will be available immediately.
Of course, beacon smoke also has limitations, that is, it is greatly affected by weather and cannot be used in bad weather such as rain, wind, and fog.
However, the weather is clear today, so it is more suitable to use beacon smoke. If the beacon smoke is lit here, Cao Liang can clearly see it.
Before leaving, Deng Ai had already prepared thatch and wolf dung, the materials for igniting the wolf smoke. Thatch was used to ignite the fire, while wolf dung was necessary to produce the wolf smoke.
The thick smoke produced by wolf dung is said to be thick, straight and difficult to spread, making it a must-have for ancient beacon towers.
Deng Ai quickly ignited the smoke, but Cao Liang was still several miles away. Even if he saw the smoke immediately, it would take some time to rush over. The Shu army in the city had already besieged him, so Deng Ai hurried back.
Holding the sword, he was ready to help Fang Bu.
The city gate corridor of Yangpingguan is not very wide, only about one foot. Fang Bu, alone with his sword, has blocked most of the road.
The Shu soldiers waved their weapons and rushed towards Fang Bu fiercely. Fang Bu's sword remained motionless. His face was as smooth as ever, with no expression, neither excitement nor fear, as if all these...
They were all as calm as an autumn pool, without a trace of ripples.
But Fang Bu finally moved. When the first Shu soldier rushed over and reached the tip of his knife, Fang Bu's knife moved as fast as lightning, so fast that he didn't even see the Shu soldier.
The blade had already passed through his throat and cut open his carotid artery.
The Shu soldier raised his head and made a 180-degree rotation. The blood on his neck was like a fountain, gushing upwards. The scene was extremely spectacular.
The Shu soldier opened his mouth wide, but unfortunately he couldn't shout out at all. Fang Bu's knife not only cut off his carotid artery, but also cut his trachea. He opened his eyes wide and looked in horror.
He looked at the bloody fountain, and then slowly fell down. Until his death, he didn't understand where the knife came from.
Once Fang Bu's knife makes a move, it can never stop. The light of the knife goes up and down, fast and slow, like streaks of light passing through the air. Along with the flash of the knife, there is a sound.
Screaming miserably, the Shu soldiers who rushed forward fell down one after another like wheat being harvested.
