Chapter 1983: Reversal
The adjutant immediately said to them, "The county magistrate wants to check the feed inlet."
The two soldiers touched the lower jaw of the beast's head a few times, and the beast's mouth opened and stretched upwards.
Everyone could see that the black crystal inside was shining with multi-color light, ranging from light blue to dark green and then to dark yellow.
Huang Chengqi reached in, took out two handfuls of black crystals, spread them out on his palm and looked at them.
He had never done this before, but of course the adjutant would not stop him.
No one noticed that when Huang Chengqi flipped his wrist and threw the black crystal back into the beast's mouth, he also threw a small piece of crystal in as well.
It was also medium green and transparent, no different from other black crystals. In addition, with the beast's mouth blocking it, no one noticed its existence.
Huang Chengqi said, "Close it."
The two soldiers closed the animal heads and saluted him, and the adjutant took the two men to continue inspecting the city gate.
After looking at two more places, the adjutant felt that County Magistrate Huang spoke surprisingly little today.
At this time, Huang Chengqi covered his abdomen and frowned: "Go down first."
The adjutant saw that he was in a hurry and did not dare to delay, so he took the two men down from the city gate tower.
"Okay, no need to send it away."
Not long after they left, there was a sudden commotion above the city wall.
The adjutant looked up and saw a soldier from Hao County arguing passionately with his companions on the top of the city wall.
Why does this person look familiar? I feel like I've seen him somewhere before.
The adjutant walked a few hundred steps and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. Damn, it seemed like he had seen this guy on the battlefield.
It seems to be from the enemy camp!
Could it be that I was seeing things? With the grey helmet on and the blood stain on the face, they looked exactly like each other.
The adjutant thought about it and was still frightened, so he turned around and went to find Tu Shanfang.
He woke Tu Shanfang up and told him his suspicions.
Tu Shanfang jumped up when he heard it: "Hurry, go to the city gate!"
If the adjutant was not mistaken, what was this enemy disguised as a soldier from Hao County trying to do by making such a fuss on the city wall?
Of course, it is to attract the attention of the guards.
There was a commotion on the top of the city walls, and people below stopped to look up. A group of soldiers happened to pass by, and they were not satisfied with the noise from a distance, so they moved closer to the city gate.
This action was not unusual. There were already many people in front of the city gate, and this team of soldiers was not from Hao County, so the city defenders did not pay attention to them.
The distance between the two sides quickly shortened to eight feet. Two people on the team suddenly attacked, raising their hands and sending out a cloud of green smoke.
The four guards were caught off guard and were blinded by the smoke. Not only could they not see, but they also felt excruciating pain on their faces, as if they had been splashed with boiling water.
They screamed and bent over to cover their faces. The team of soldiers rushed forward and slashed with swords!
Then they rushed into the city wall and ran towards the main city gate.
Miancheng originally had only one gate. To prevent Guo Bai from attacking, a urn city was built at the back. The gate of the urn city was very small to facilitate defense. So there were two gates in total. After entering the urn city, you had to seize control of the main gate.
The soldiers guarding the main city gate were startled, grabbed their guns and rushed forward to stab, trying to force the invaders out of the small gate of the city.
But whooshing sounds came from above the city gate, and more than a dozen arrows were shot down!
Three of the six soldiers at the city gate were shot down.
The three who survived immediately hid in the city gate, stuck in the blind spot above. But in this way, they could not block the city.
When everyone looked, they saw that it was soldiers from Hao County shooting arrows from the city gate tower.
"The people of Hao County are causing chaos!"
"Hao County rebelled!"
Shouts rose one after another, and the city and its surroundings were suddenly in chaos.
When Tu Shanfang heard these words, his face changed. He suddenly grabbed one of his men and said, "Oh no! Let's go check on County Magistrate Huang!"
If the Hao County soldiers rebelled, then the Hao County Magistrate who led them into the city three days ago...
The subordinate agreed and was about to leave when the adjutant said, "The governor of Huang County and Yu County Magistrate of Hao County just came to inspect the city defenses."
"Just now?" Tu Shanfang frowned, feeling something was wrong. "Why did he come with Yu County Magistrate?"
Yu An was an official from Hao County, not Miancheng. County Magistrate Huang was a cautious person, so why would he bring him to see the confidential facilities?
"Not sure. You are resting, and County Magistrate Huang said not to disturb you. They can just take a look themselves."
"and then?"
"They checked the feed inlet and the two storage bins, and then County Magistrate Huang came downstairs, as if he had to go to the bathroom urgently."
"The feeding port?" Tu Shanfang's heart skipped a beat, but he ordered his men to find Huang Xianshou and Yu An, and he turned around and ran to the warehouse, "Not good!"
The so-called "feeding port" is actually the entrance for adding black crystals to the city beasts. This is a jargon within the county government, and outsiders are completely unaware of it.
Another messenger came running over to report: "Captain Tu, there are enemies outside the door..."
Before he finished speaking, there were several loud bangs, and the heavy main city gate shook three times.
"Thunder that shakes the mountain." Tu Shanfang's face turned black.
The guardian beasts of Mian City were powerful and always tore the invading enemies into pieces. So Guo Baiyu adopted a new method. Instead of allowing the army or monsters to directly charge at them, he built several siege vehicles with arched corners on the front. Once a violent collision occurred, the mountain-shaking mines hidden in them would explode immediately.
As the name suggests, this is an explosive used to blast mountains and split rocks. Guo’s army further purified it, making it more powerful.
One of the city's guardian beasts had its eyes damaged by it.
Although the city's formation is solid, how long can it withstand dozens of consecutive bombings?
Huang Xianshou had just taken Yu An to see the feed inlet when Guo Baiyu suddenly launched an attack. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?
Outside the city, there was a deafening roar, and the enemy rushed out from the darkness, covering the mountains and plains.
But there was now chaos at the city gate. The Mian soldiers wanted to shoot arrows down to prevent the enemy from approaching, but the Hao County soldiers rushed up and hacked at them with extreme ferocity.
In fact, they were no longer soldiers from Hao County, but Guo Baiyu's army in disguise.
Tu Shanfang blew the insect whistle, and the unique horn sound of the Black Armor Army resounded throughout the city.
These three rapid whistles have only one meaning:
Gather, enemy attack!
Because of frequent battles, the city defenders were stationed near the city gate and rushed out upon hearing the noise.
The city walls trembled slightly, and the soldiers knew that the city beasts had been dispatched.
However, just as the city-guarding beasts bit to death two approaching monsters, white frost suddenly condensed on the wall.
The speed of freezing was astonishingly fast. In just a dozen breaths of time, the surface of the outer city wall was covered with a thick layer of ice, and even the city beasts were frozen!
They maintain their original posture, but are frozen on the wall, motionless!
When the soldiers guarding the city saw what was happening, they all cried out in dismay.
Tushan ran to the warehouse and reached out to turn the mechanism. The beast's mouth, which should have been wide open, was now closed tighter than a clam shell.
He pulled hard twice but failed to open it. Then he found that the animal's mouth was frozen and the whole thing was a big block of ice.
It is obvious that the feed port has been tampered with. Once the city guardian beast attacks and starts consuming black crystals, its movements will be restricted.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, three fire bulls arrived outside the gate and slammed the city gate violently!
They were even bigger than their companions that had been bitten to death by the city beasts earlier, and their muscles were bulging all over.
