Chapter 200
It was late at night, and Jiangyou Pass was shrouded in a hazy moonlight.
The night was as dark as ink, and it was so quiet that one could hear the sound of heartbeats echoing.
On the pass, sparse torches swayed, reflecting the lazy figures of several soldiers.
They stood against the wall or sat on the ground.
The weapons in their hands were casually placed aside.
There was no sign of vigilance at all.
Even if patrolling soldiers passed by occasionally, their steps were dragging and weak, as if they were just doing routine work.
Jiangyou Pass is located in the hinterland of Yizhou.
As an important military pass, it should have been heavily guarded.
But at this moment, it exuded a sense of slowness and laziness.
The two natural barriers of Hanzhong and Jianmen Pass have not yet been breached by foreign enemies.
Jiangyou Pass is like a forgotten corner, and no one cares about it.
The soldiers guarding the city have long been accustomed to this kind of comfort. They are unaware of the impending danger.
The general guarding the city is named Le Qin. He is wearing armor and is meticulous.
At this time, he is sitting at the desk in the city gate tower.
He was flipping through a bundle of worn bamboo slips by the weak torchlight.
��A trace of fatigue appeared on his face.
He was obviously a little tired of this dull night watch life.
He was dissatisfied with the lazy attitude of his soldiers , but he did not take any measures to rectify it.
In his opinion, as long as Hanzhong and Jianmen Pass were not lost, Jiangyou Pass would not be in any danger.
Why should he be hated by the soldiers because of strict discipline? However, the general guarding the city, Le Qin, did not know.
On this seemingly peaceful night.
A sneak attack on Jiangyou Pass was brewing in secret.
Gu Changan selected a group of elite soldiers who were agile and good at high jumping and climbing.
They will follow Gu Changan to launch a sneak attack on Jiangyou Pass this night.
They wore black clothes over their armor and had quietly touched the vicinity of Jiangyou Pass.
They quietly observed everything on the pass.
Waiting for the best time to sneak attack.
Jiangyou Pass is a natural barrier.
The area is surrounded by mountains and the Fu River flows in the middle.
The dangerous peaks at the pass are steep and straight into the sky.
The river under the pass is turbulent and the turbid waves are rolling.
No wonder the defense of this pass is so lax.
It was not until the second half of the night, when the generals guarding the city left.
The soldiers on guard on the city wall became even lazier.
They sat on the ground directly against the city wall.
The weapons in their hands were casually placed aside, and they chatted there.
A sharp light flashed in Gu Chang’an’s eyes.
He knew that the opportunity was coming.
He waved his hand lightly, and his selected soldiers immediately took action.
They approached the pass silently like ghosts.
They sneaked all the way and stopped less than thirty steps away from the pass.
Going further, even if the defenders of the pass were lazy, they would be easily discovered.
This distance is just right, not easy to be discovered, and there is enough distance for sprinting.
Gu Chang’an and twenty elite soldiers squatted quietly on the ground.
They held the shield tightly in their left hands and the ring-headed swords on their backs.
In their right hands, they held the front end of a long bamboo pole tightly with their arms.
At the back end of the bamboo pole, three soldiers squatted on the ground.
They leaned forward, holding the bamboo pole tightly with both hands, ready to exert force at any time.
“Action!”
Gu Changan shouted in a low voice.
He led the way, led 20 soldiers to jump up from the ground, and launched a charge towards Jiangyou Pass.
He held a long bamboo pole tightly in his right hand and ran forward. The three soldiers behind the bamboo pole pushed the bamboo pole and also ran hard to keep up with Gu Changan’s pace.
Their footsteps were unusually clear in the silent night.
The defenders on the city wall were stunned by the sudden movement.
The weapons in their hands were casually placed aside.
The bows and crossbows were not strung, the spears and halberds were still scattered on the ground, and most of the swords were still in their sheaths.
Gu Changan led the way, holding a shield, guarding against arrows that might be shot at any time.
His eyes flashed with Sharp light.
Observing the every move of the defenders on the city wall at any time.
Gu Changan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
Jiangyou Pass is indeed an important checkpoint.
However, the entire Yizhou obviously does not attach importance to this checkpoint.
The soldiers here lack training and are very lazy.
Faced with emergencies, they have no ability to respond at all.
Clear footsteps sounded in the night sky.
These soldiers stood up from the ground lazily.
They were even looking around to see where the footsteps came from.
Some people also stretched their heads to look outside the city wall.
However, there was no bonfire under the city, but there were torches on the city wall.
The visual difference between light and dark made them only see some black shadows.
The distance of 30 steps is just a few seconds.
In a blink of an eye, Gu Changan has rushed to the bottom of the city wall.
It is equivalent to stepping on the city wall and running upwards.
The soldiers behind him pushed the long bamboo poles with all their strength.
In one go, they pushed Gu Changan to use the force on the city wall and run upwards.
Then, he jumped suddenly and grabbed the edge of the city wall with one hand.
Then he flipped up.
The whole person landed steadily on the high wall outside the pass.
The defenders on the city wall were completely stunned by this scene, and they didn’t react at all.
These defenders were stunned, but Gu Changan didn’t stop at all.
As soon as he landed, Gu Changan quickly adjusted his posture and smashed the defenders around him with the shield in his hand.
The defender was caught off guard and screamed.
He was hit on the head by the shield and fainted on the spot.
Gu Changan took the opportunity to draw out the ring-handled knife on his back and stabbed forward. Strike.
His movements were swift and powerful, like a tiger rushing down a mountain, unstoppable.
How could these untrained defenders be Gu Changan’s opponents?
The ring-handled knife in his hand easily cut the neck of a defender, and blood gushed out.
A defender behind him finally picked up the spear on the ground and stabbed towards Gu Changan.
Gu Changan slashed back with a knife, splitting the spear and the man in half, and blood flowed on the ground.
The defenders were shocked by Gu Changan’s bravery.
They waved their weapons in panic, trying to resist Gu Changan’s attack.
The 20 elite soldiers who followed Gu Changan closely had also jumped onto the city wall.
They quickly opened up a space on the city wall and drove away the defenders.
The claw hooks prepared in advance hooked the city wall and lowered the rope.
More soldiers rushed onto the city wall.
For a time, the shouts and screams on the city wall were deafening…. ps:▄█ˉ█●
