Gan Ning said: "Brother Guan is right, previously, the people of the Taiping Road had always attacked towns and cities to rob and plunder villages, and have done everything wrong, this little brother has already been through this several times! If these people from the Taiping Road were to attack us, all the men, elderly and children here will definitely be killed, and all the women will be taken away by them! "
Chen Lang frowned, he looked out of the city into the wilderness, and then decisively said: "Let's stay."
Guan Yu and Gan Ning were shocked, Gan Ning anxiously said: "wolf brother, there are thousands of people here, but we only have 600, if we stay, we will die!"
Chen Lang teased: "I never thought that even Boss Sailfish, who is not afraid of anything in the world, would have a moment of fear."
Gan Ning was furious, he slapped his chest and shouted: "We are not afraid of death! If wolf brother decides to stay, this little brother will not be a coward! "
Chen Lang revealed an expression of praise, he patted Gan Ning's shoulders and said: "Immediately go down and close the four city gates, allow our brothers to climb the walls and prepare for battle." Gan Ning cupped his fists and replied, then ran down the stairs.
Guan Yu looked at Chen Lang and said in disbelief: "You're actually willing to sacrifice yourself for the sake of the citizens here!"
Chen Lang laughed and said: "Although I am not a good person, I can't just watch as the people here suffer!" As he said this, his gaze couldn't help but look towards the city. He saw a few children, dressed in rags, chasing each other around a street. He couldn't help but reveal a warm smile. Guan Yu followed Chen Lang's gaze, and when he saw the children, he could not help but be moved, and looked deeply into Chen Lang's eyes.
Gan Ning followed Chen Lang's orders and closed all the city gates, ordering all Sailfish s to climb up the western wall. At this time, the citizens of the city had already received the news that the Taiping Church was about to attack the city.
Not long after, dust rose up from the wilderness outside the city, and a dense group of people rushed over, it was the Taiping Church that Chen Lang and the others had met before. However, at this time, many of the Taiping Church s had already donned the armor of the officials, and presumably had been stripped off their bodies. As the sun set in the west, the sky and earth turned dim, and the Taiping Church was like a group of evil spirits that crawled out from the ground.
Taiping Church rushed to the front of the city like a swarm of bees. They all raised the weapons in their hands and cried out, their shouts sounding like a group of wild beasts.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a yellow scarf wrapped around his head ran out from the crowd and shouted at the city wall, "If you know what's good for you, quickly open the city gate. All the Taiping Church s shouted excitedly, "Leave no one alive! Not even chickens or dogs are spared! " When the commoners in the city heard these shouts, they could not help but panic and panic to the extreme.
Chen Lang nodded his head towards the standard-bearer, who, seeing this, waved the flag. The city gate creaked open, and Guan Yu, Gan Ning and the 100 strongest Sailfish rushed out like a ferocious tiger out of a cage. As the middle-aged man was happily cursing, he couldn't help but jump in fright when he saw this scene! Before he could react, Guan Yu had already rushed to his front, with a roar, his long blade hacked down, and before the middle-aged man could even scream out, he was cut into two! Seeing this scene, all the Taiping Church could not help but be shocked, causing the crowd to become restless. Just then, Guan Yu and Gan Ning led a hundred warriors and rushed into the middle of the crowd. Just like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, he slaughtered his way to Taiping Church, causing the flesh and blood of the Taiping Church to fly wildly.
When the leader of the Taiping Road saw this, he turned pale with fright. He shouted at the top of his lungs, shouting for his subordinates to stop! However, how could this mob defend against Guan Yu, who was a tiger general? Seeing how Guan Yu was rushing towards him, the people of Taiping Church were unable to stop him at all. Taiping Church had never met such a strong enemy before, their originally high fighting spirit had already disappeared, all of them just wanted to escape.
Just at this time, Chen Lang led all the Sailfish s left behind in the city and rushed out of the city, fiercely attacking the chaotic Taiping Church. The Taiping Church could not hold on any longer, and was defeated like a landslide! Chen Lang and the rest had to chase them for several kilometers before they were able to pull back their troops and return to the city!
Guan Yu and Gan Ning couldn't help but burst out laughing when they saw Chen Lang. Guan Yu said excitedly: "Awesome! "This is great!"
Chen Lang said: "The reason we were able to push them back was because we had caught them off guard. Now that the enemies are already prepared, fighting them back will not be an easy task. " Glancing at the two of them, he said, "The difference between our military strength and theirs is too great. If we were to fight head on, we would have no chance of winning. It was only then that the two of them thought of this question. They could not help but frown and become serious. " At this time, when the citizens of the city heard that the Sailfish had forced back the Taiping Church, they all brought their family's best food to the city walls to toil, and they all looked extremely grateful.
As the night gradually deepened, the entire county city had quietened down. The citizens peacefully entered into sleep, but the Sailfish were still on guard on the city walls.
Chen Lang called Guan Yu and Gan Ning over, and said: "If we wait for the enemy to attack, this city will fall sooner or later." Guan Yu could not help but frown, and he could not help but shout: "Then we will go out and fight with them!"
Chen Lang shook his head, "I can't do that. Although our current situation is very dangerous, we still have a chance at survival. Fortunately, these enemies are just a motley crowd and probably won't think of us going back to ambush them. I intend to personally take advantage of the darkness of the night to attack the enemy camp and kill their leader, and then you will lead all your troops to attack us! " Hearing that, the two of them were startled, but their eyes revealed a look of excitement, Gan Ning shouted: "Junior will lead people to launch a sneak attack, wolf brother and Brother Guan will lead a large team to follow up the attack!" Guan Yu was displeased: "Brother Gan Ning, do you look down on me? "In the midst of thousands of soldiers and horses, I will take the general's head, and like a scout, I will go attack the enemy's camp. Both of you, lead your troops and follow me!"
Chen Lang raised his right hand, and said: "You two don't have to fight, I have already decided on this matter, the handsome man will launch a surprise attack." The two of them looked depressed and explained, "Although you two can be called the fierce generals of tens of thousands of enemies, but you two aren't good at this kind of sneak attack tactics. As soon as the two of you, under your command, saw the enemy's camp set on fire, you attacked. " Chen Lang's words carried a sense of majesty, the two of them did not dare to disobey, and only clasped their fists in response.
The moon was going down, and it was already the second half of the night.
The city gate on the south side quietly opened, and Chen Lang led the carefully selected thirty subordinates who were dressed in black robes, with black cloth covering their faces, and quietly left the county city.
At the same time, Guan Yu gathered all his men and waited at the west gate, waiting for the enemy camp to light up, then immediately opened the gate and rushed in. Guan Yu frowned: "If the enemies are prepared, then things are not looking good!" Gan Ning raised his eyebrows, and said: "So what! Worse comes to worst, I'll die fighting with my big brother! " Guan Yu's heart shook, he could not help but become excited. He had always been looking for a hero that he had never encountered before, so he silently nodded his head.
Under the cover of the night, Chen Lang led the thirty Sailfish s and quickly arrived outside the enemy camp. Chen Lang observed the situation of the enemy camp and realized that the enemy's defenses were extremely tight. There were many sentries outside and an endless amount of patrols inside, this situation was completely different from Chen Lang's expectations and hope. It seemed like this leader of the Taiping Road was not as incompetent as he had imagined, and was still quite capable. Chen Lang frowned, he then gave some orders to his men, and the 30 odd people split into groups, and started sneaking towards the camp.
Chen Lang led his three subordinates and quietly arrived in front of a sentry post. He could clearly hear the conversation of the three Taiping Church s on the sentry post.
Chen Lang nodded to a subordinate in front of him, who convened. He then picked up a rock and threw it to the side of the sentry, and the stone immediately dropped onto the ground, producing a loud thud. Although the sound was not loud, it was very clear in this silent night. When the three disciples who were speaking heard this voice, they immediately became alert. One of them hastily asked, "What sound is it?" Another person said, "It might be some kind of small animal. I'll go take a look. " Then one of the congregation came out of the sentry and walked in the direction of the sound, and the other two looked at him.
Chen Lang and a subordinate immediately rushed in from the back, quickly arriving at the sentry post, and grabbed the noses of the two sentries from behind. The two sentries were shocked, they immediately wanted to shout, but how could they do so, just at this moment, the two of them felt a chill seeping through their back into their chests, and then they died. Chen Lang and his subordinates immediately put down the corpses of the two sentries.
The sentry who went to check on the activity said, "Nothing. It should be a small animal." Then he turned around, but didn't see his two companions. He couldn't help but be surprised and shouted, "Old Wang, Old Li, where did you guys run off to?" As he spoke, he walked towards the sentry post. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly leaped behind the sentry. His left hand suddenly covered his nose and mouth, while a dagger in his right hand ruthlessly stabbed into his back. Subconsciously, the sentry grabbed the other's arm with both hands. His eyes were wide open in extreme horror, and then his body went limp, not moving an inch. The shadow gently lowered him.
The sentries outside were removed one by one without a sound. Following that, the patrols in the camp also disappeared one after another. Chen Lang and his subordinates were like the sounds of killing in the dark night, silently reaping these lives. The night was quiet and creepy.
