Midnight.
The night wind blew past the grass outside Yanmen Pass. The sky was covered with dark clouds and there was no light at all.
The night was dark and the wind was strong. It was the best time for a night attack.
On the top of the city gate of Yanmen Pass, Meng Tian led the Meng Family Army and hid inside.
On a hill not far from the pass, twenty thousand Xianbei cavalry led by a leader silently approached.
"No one is allowed to make a sound. Gou Suobing, get ready.”
"Yes."
The 20,000 Xianbei cavalrymen replied in a low voice. Thousands of hook rope soldiers quietly came to the city with hook ropes.
"Leader, why isn't there a fire on the city walls?" asked a deputy general in a low voice.”
The deputy general suddenly felt an ominous feeling envelop him and subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Hmph, the Han dogs must have let down their guard. After all, we lost once before, but they would never expect us to attack Yanmen Pass at night. As long as Yanmen Pass is broken, they will go straight to the Han land and plunder those beautiful women, money, and food.”
"Yes."
Thinking that once the Yanmen Pass was breached, those beauties, money, and food would all be snatched by them, the thousands of Gou Suo soldiers suppressed their excitement and hid under the city.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Although Yanmen Pass was the most powerful city in the world, only 100 people could climb the city wall at a time.
Therefore, the 100 hook soldiers threw out their hooks, placed them on the city wall, and climbed up.
The night wind was very strong. Even if a hundred hook soldiers made a sound, the guards in the city would not know.
Moreover, they all felt that the defenders in the city were all sleeping. This was a godsend opportunity.
The 100 hook soldiers didn't climb the city wall together. Some of them were fast while others were slow.
Suddenly, Meng Tian, who was hiding at the city gate tower, quietly led the Meng family's army over.
Each of them had a sharp dagger in their hands.
The first Xianbei barbarian to reach the city wall had his neck slashed by a Meng tribe soldier's dagger before he could even see the city gate.
The Meng family soldier quietly held the Xianbei barbarian's body, covered his mouth, and placed his body on the city wall.
The night deepened, and a gentle breeze blew across the plains.
As the sky was too dark, there were no torches lit on the city walls. The Xianbei leader did not know that the Xianbei barbarians who had climbed the city walls had been killed.
After the first Xianbei barbarian was assassinated, every Xianbei barbarian that climbed up the wall was stabbed in the vitals by the Meng family's army. Their mouths were covered and they couldn't make a sound before they died.
The night was like a death hunt. None of the hook soldiers who had climbed up the city walls survived.
The Meng Army's assassination continued. Every Xianbei barbarian's body was quickly disposed of.
The Xianbei leaders not far from Yanmen Pass didn't know that none of the thousands of Gousuo soldiers survived.
However, perhaps because of the night wind, a trace of blood smell drifted over.
The deputy general beside the Xianbei leader said cautiously,"Leader, do you smell blood?”
The Xianbei leader snorted," It seems like my hook soldiers have killed quite a few defenders. Tell the Xianbei men that the Han women and food are right in front of them. Once the signal is given, they will charge over."”
"Yes."
Although he was suspicious, the deputy general still obeyed.
Several thousand Gou Suo soldiers had died on the city walls, and Liu Yu had also learned of this matter at the first possible moment.
He stood outside the meeting hall and said in a deep voice,""Tonight, we will kill all of these Xianbei cavalry.”
"Alright," Baiqi cupped his fists and replied.
Immediately, Baiqi secretly told Zhang Liao to lead the cavalry of Yanmen, who were skilled in archery, up the city tower.
The reason for the change of defense was because there were many soldiers in the city and Meng Tian and the Meng Army had other plans.
The Xianbei leader didn't know that Yanmen Pass was changing its defenses. He thought that thousands of Gou Suo soldiers had already infiltrated Yanmen Pass and they would be able to open the gate soon.
The Xianbei leader licked his dry tongue. Women and food made his heart very uneasy.
This time, the Xianbei cavalry had paid the price of tens of thousands of men to finally open the Yanmen Pass and wreak havoc in the Han Land?
Just thinking about it made him very excited.
Meng Tian led the Meng family army to carry the corpses of the Xianbei Gousuo soldiers into Yanmen Pass. Zhang Liao brought the archers and quietly climbed up the city wall.
The black crossbows were invisible in the dark night. The archers looked at the gate of Yanmen Pass coldly.
Suddenly, a few torches flashed across the Yanmen Pass.
The Xianbei leader laughed excitedly."My sons, now is the time for you to break through Yanmen Pass.”
According to the plan of this night attack, as long as a few torches were lit on the city, the Xianbei leader would lead his men and charge over.
That was because those hook soldiers had already occupied the gates of Yanmen Pass.
"Children, now is the time for you to plunder women's food. Charge!”
"Charge, kill, rob women, rob food.”
"Kill, kill!"
Under the leadership of the Xianbei leader, the 20,000 Xianbei cavalry charged towards Yanmen Pass.
There seemed to be many women and food in front of them.
Every single one of them had eyes that were shining like wolves and tigers, as if victory was within their grasp.
These Xianbei cavalry charged towards Yanmen Pass with all their might, but the deputy general felt that Yanmen Pass was like a beast that wanted to swallow them whole.
All of a sudden, the Xianbei cavalry in the front line fell off their horses and were killed by the sharp blades.
"Not good, I fell into a trap."
The Xianbei leader was shocked, but he saw a strong wind coming from above the city gate. It was rows of arrows.
