Chapter 69 - The Annihilation of Liu Yao's Forces
After defeating Liu Yao, I called hundreds of captured soldiers to my side. Upon seeing me, those soldiers immediately knelt down and begged, "Please spare our lives, my lord!" I said to each other warmly, "Brothers, please don't do this! Someone! Untie them and give them wine and food to calm down! " The soldiers looked at me, puzzled. They didn't know why I was doing this.
I smiled and said, "I have some gold here. If you can help me with one thing, all of it will be yours!" When the soldiers saw the gold, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Seeing this, I smiled. "Actually, I don't need you to do anything difficult!" Can you call me the gates of Kaiguanxin now? As long as the city gates of Guangxin City are open, our army can charge forward and take down Guangxin City in one fell swoop! "
One of the soldiers said, "We are willing to help!" When one person shouted like this, the others nodded their heads in agreement …
Guangxin City. Xue Li looked into the distance and thought: "I wonder how Dao Lord is fighting with Fan Li now! It's just that that despicable Chen Zhi has repeatedly used tactics on me to send reinforcements back to the city, how despicable! " Zhang Ying pointed into the distance and said, "Military Advisor, look! There was a cloud of dust in front of him. Am I going to defeat our lord's men and bring them back to Guangxin to meet us? "
Hearing that, Xue Li immediately looked towards the direction Zhang Ying pointed, only to see a large "Liu" sign fluttering in the wind, the big group of people were trying to break through the seal of the Chen Zhi Army and move towards the city, a cloud of smoke was rising behind the big group, as though the Fan Li Army was chasing after them.
Zhang Ying asked, "Should we send troops to assist them? If we are too late, then Master will probably be pincushioned to death by Fan Li and Chen Zhi's forces! " Xue Li was still worried. "If this is Chen Zhi's scheme, what should we do? In addition, our master has more troops than the Fan Li Army who went to attack our lord! It was impossible for him to be defeated by Fan Li so easily! "Let's wait a bit first."
The group of people suddenly arrived at the city gate and galloped their horses over to the moat. Xue Li, who was standing above the city gate, shouted, "Quickly put down the suspension bridge! Quickly release the suspension bridge! Open the gate! We are's men! Master Liu Yao is right behind us! "Quickly!" Xue Li looked at the soldiers. Seeing that they were the same troops as his own army, he turned around and shouted to Zhang Ying, "Quick! Quick, give the order for them to lower the suspension bridge and open the city gate! "
The drawbridge was lowered slowly, and the first to fall was a column of horsemen, moving like a bolt of lightning through the moat toward the gate. When the soldiers who had just opened the gate were surprised that they had run over so quickly, they were immediately chopped down by the cavalry soldiers who had rushed in front of them, wielding their sabers. The cavalry's horses continuously rammed into the soldiers guarding the city gate. Many of the soldiers were knocked away. The guards at the gate scattered and fled.
Not far away, Establishment was sprinting towards the city gates!
Xue Li couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw this scene from the city: "Could it really be Fan Li's scheme? Not good! Fast! Lift the drawbridge! "Close the city gate!" Zhang Ying said anxiously, "The city gate is already under the control of the enemy! We can't close the gates and raise the drawbridge! " Chen Heng turned to Xue Li and said, "Advisor, I will lead a group of men to annihilate the enemy troops at the city gates!" Xue Li nodded and said: "Okay! General Chen is entirely dependent on you! " Chen Heng nodded his head before turning around and leading his troops towards the city gate.
Chen Heng's army was already approaching the city gate. Li Xiong shouted to his cavalrymen: "Brothers! Shoot! Shoot all those enemy soldiers! Let them see how familiar our archery is! " Instantly, the arrows shot towards Chen Heng's group like a swarm of locusts. Those who were ahead of them fell to the ground one after another. Seeing this, the soldiers all wanted to retreat.
Chen Heng pulled out his sword and knocked out a few of the soldiers beside him. He shouted, "Whoever dares to step back! I'll kill whoever you kill! " Li Xiong held the arrow in his hand, aimed it at Chen Heng and shouted, "Thief, take Chen Heng's arrow!" The arrow shot towards Chen Heng like lightning. Chen Heng didn't even have the chance to dodge as Xiong's arrow pierced through his throat. Chen Heng jumped off his horse and fell to the ground.
When the soldiers saw that their leader had died, they did not want to risk their lives to rush forward to kill him. Thus, they all retreated.
As the city gates were guarded by the heroes, the soldiers of the Establishment poured into the city gates in an unending stream and charged into the city. On the city wall, when Xue Li saw this scene, he could not help but sigh. The momentum was gone! "Sigh!" Cheng Jiang said to Zhang Ying, "Don't worry, Military Advisor! I will definitely ensure that the strategists get out of this encirclement! Advisor, please follow me! "
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A blood-curdling screech rang out. One of the soldiers who was not far from Zhang Ying stumbled and fell onto the wall, his upper body lying on the wall. He lay there forever, the knife in his hand falling down the wall, while his blood continued to flow down the wall.
Zhang Tie held his blade horizontally and shouted: "Want to leave! Humph! Humph! I think it's better for you to obediently put down your weapons and surrender! " Zhang Ying said to Xue Li, "Military Advisor, you go first! I will hold him back and not let him chase after you! " Zhang Yingyan waved the long saber in his hand and charged towards Iron Sword.
The iron flashed to the side, and Zhang Ying missed. Zhang Ying was unwilling to accept this and once again swung his saber at the iron rod. "Tie Dao also made contact with Zhang Ying's saber!" "Dang!" A loud sound echoed as golden light splashed in all directions! Zhang Ying was forced to retreat a few steps. His eyes were fixed on the iron rod.
"Aiya!" Zhang Ying shouted loudly. He swung his saber with both hands, wanting to fight to the death with the iron sword. The iron only blocked Zhang Ying's sabre with one swing, and then the iron hit Zhang Ying's abdomen with the palm of his hand. The blow knocked Zhang Ying to the ground. At this moment, several soldiers with guns used their spears to place their spears on Zhang Ying's neck. The spears were placed on Zhang Ying's shoulders, and Zhang Ying was forced to half kneel on the ground. "Sigh!" Zhang Ying sighed helplessly as he became a prisoner.
When Tie Tie saw that Xue Li was about to run down the city gate tower, he quickly released an arrow! The arrow seemed to have grown eyes as it shot Xue Li, who was walking down the stairs, over. Xue Li rolled down the stairs and died.
The soldiers had no leader, so they had no choice but to surrender to the Establishment. At this point, Grand Trust City has once again fallen into my hands.
The rest of the generals and I had all entered the Cangwu Palace in the prefecture of Cangwu which was located within the Moon City. I said to the generals, "Now that we have recruited the strong elites of Liu Yao's army, we can just let them decide whether to stay behind or go home! Those who are willing to stay in our territory will be given land to farm or something. Those who want to leave Jiao Prefecture, send them back home. " The generals looked at me. They felt that I was too merciful! There were too few people in this chaotic world who could do this.
I asked the generals, "Liu Yao fled to Fuchuan like a homeless dog, the strength of his army has almost been annihilated by our army, and Liu Yao is only left with the Fuchuan city, he is no longer a threat! Should we send troops to wipe him out? "
Chen Zhi said: "We do not need to directly send our troops to attack Liu Yao to take down this rich city!" Upon hearing that, I asked, "Second brother, do you have any good ideas?"
Chen Zhi laughed and said: "Our army can create momentum and go attack Fuchuan. The Fuchuan city is neither strong nor good for defense, and we do not have enough Fuchuan food. Liu Yao knew that by relying on this, he wouldn't be able to protect himself. He would definitely abandon this place and flee for his life. If that happened, Fuchuan would have fallen into the hands of our army! When our army was preparing to attack Liu Yao, we actually made a big turn and attacked Hua Xi and the other members of the army. Eat them all! " After hearing this, I repeatedly nodded my head in praise.
The plan for the operation has been decided, so I ordered, "Order the troops to rest for three days! Three days from now, we will fake our attack on Fuchuan, and then use cavalry to quickly ambush Zhu Hao and other troops! " The generals cupped their hands and said, "Yes! "As you command!"
After Liu Yao, who was in Fu Chuan City, heard that my army had attacked him, he had no other choice but to bring his sons, Liu Ji and Liu Xun, to leave the city and go to Jingzhou to seek refuge with Liu Biao. As such, Liu Yao's power could be considered to be destroyed.
At night. It was a cloudy night, and not a single star could be seen in the sky. The night sky was pitch black. In the west, a bright light appeared. The light was getting closer and closer. And the firelight lit the sky as bright as day.
Not long after, shouts of battle could be heard. The first to bear the brunt of the attack were the patrolling guards. They were chopped down by the cavalry soldiers in front of them with sabers. "Bang!" "Bam!" The sound of human bodies falling to the ground continuously rang out. Enemy soldiers that had been turned into corpses fell into the embrace of the Earth Mother forever.
The cavalry who were still outside the fence shot their rockets into the tents on the camp grounds. The tarpaulins caught fire, and many of the enemy soldiers were shot down by the rockets when they came out of the tents.
The cavalrymen who had already jumped over the fence threw their torches at the tents in the camp. When the canvas came into contact with the flames, a loud "boom" resounded, and the flames were set ablaze. In an instant, the fire borrowed the force of the wind to burn more and more. From one tent to another, the whole camp was on fire.
The soldier who had not made it out screamed and struggled to put out the fire, but he fell to the ground and rolled a few times before he could move again. They were like balls of moving fire, screaming as they struggled on the ground. They kept thrashing around, trying to extinguish the fire on their bodies, but it was useless. They could only struggle for a while before falling to the ground. Some of the soldiers who were on fire had stored buckets near them and were lucky enough to escape.
