The four city gates of Chen County were already sealed up when dusk approached, bows and arrows were placed on the walls, heavy soldiers were arranged in formations inside the city gates to stop the enemy troops from rushing out, especially the east and north gate who had the strongest army, because the Pengcheng was located in the southeast direction of the Chen County, Chen Sheng believed that if anything happened, the two city gates would definitely break out.
Carrying Liu Shishi, Long Tianyu galloped from a dark alley to a place near the south gate. A few black armored elites went forward to lead the horses, Long Tianyu and Xiahou Ying jumped off their horses and arrived at the command post.
Zhang Qian was still pretending to be a man. After knowing that Long Tianyu had returned safely, she was ecstatic, and before the other party could react, she pounced on him with a burst of fragrance, and rushed into his embrace. Long Tianyu coaxed and hugged her, stabilizing Zhang Qian and the little girl.
Zhang Qian didn't pay any attention to him. When she saw his stunning appearance, she couldn't help but be stunned. She whispered, "Big Sister Shi!"
Feeling everyone's burning gazes, Liu Shishi was initially excited, but at the same time scared. She couldn't help but blush, and immediately calmed down a bit and nodded shyly.
Long Tianyu asked Zhang Qian: "Can Qian'er ride her own horse?"
Zhang Qian nodded: "Long Lang still doesn't know, I have learnt to ride and shoot ever since I was young!"
Long Tianyu was slightly relieved, and wrapped his arm around Liu Shishi's small waist as he said, "Exquisite, Shishi will ride with me, Qian'er will definitely ride alone, and will definitely follow by my side. He will definitely not be harmed within a few meters!"
The two girls knew that this was a life or death situation.
Zhou Bo stepped forward to report the current situation. The houses and dark places around were filled with Black Armored Army soldiers, he would take action whenever he was ready. There was a group of two thousand men outside the city to support him, breaking out of the encirclement wouldn't be a problem.
Long Tianyu cautiously nodded, and instructed everyone to wait for the right moment. At this time, there were sounds of horse hooves in the distance, obviously a part of the generals had already gone to attack the training hall, when suddenly, the training hall was set ablaze, it seemed like their subordinates had set the courtyard on fire.
Seeing that the opportunity was not lost, Long Tianyu took out his treasure sword and shouted: "Do it!"
With the command given, hundreds of crossbow bolts shot out from the darkness towards the soldiers guarding the city gate. Screaming out loud, over a hundred of the guards shot out and fell to the ground, their war horses panicked as they rampaged through the city gate. Some of the lanterns were extinguished, while others ignited into flames.
After a few rounds of arrows, the defending troops were utterly defeated. Zhou Bo and Zhang Yun then brandished their swords and led the three hundred soldiers to charge forward fiercely, all of them had been chosen from the hundred to one, and were using their swords to block the arrows. The moment they clashed, a gap appeared in their defenses, and the defending troops that were in contact with the arrows were only left to be slaughtered, they had no strength to retaliate.
With more than a hundred hook cord shooting at the city walls, the Black Armored Army's warriors used their equipment to support themselves as they rushed up the city walls, cutting off the garrison's banner and ropes that were used to protect the city bridge.
The city gate's design was on the outside but not the inside, facing such a sudden turn of events, the defending army did not have much of an advantage, being attacked so fiercely, they immediately dispersed into the wastelands. Zhou Bo was right, although there were a large number of people in the allied army, but most of them were newly formed soldiers and farmers, they did not have any special training before, and did not have any generals leading, they were like a pile of loose sand, most of the soldiers had already abandoned their weapons before they had even fought.
Seeing that, Long Tianyu carried Ji Liu Shishi and galloped out of the city with Zhang Qian, Xiahou Ying and a few dozen warriors on his horses. Soon after, a dozen soldiers pushed the mules full of firewood and thorns, stopping the enemy forces in their tracks.
In less than the time it took for half a cup of hot tea to be served, the elites in black armor retracted their long ropes and jumped out of the city.
Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Wu Chen, Zhou Wen and the others all led a thousand men to besiege the building, but before they could attack, a large fire was ignited, shocking the citizens of the city, they all came out to save the fire, and were blocked by the allied forces. Chen Sheng thought that there was something amiss, he immediately sent people to rush out to the building, but the fire was too strong, and after it was extinguished, he could only go in to search for the corpse.
Just at this time, the sounds of fighting and battle came from the south gate. It was out of the expectation of the defending army in the city, Chen Sheng thought that it was not good, and quickly led his soldiers to chase after the south gate.
Unexpectedly, the city gates were blocked by the muleteers and the firewood, causing them to be unable to advance at all. Only Wu Guang and a portion of his men were left to chase after them, Chen Sheng had sent Zhou Wen and Wu Chen to chase them down from the east gate and north gate respectively!
The forty thousand troops led by Song Liu, Tian Zhang, Deng Zong, and Zhang Jie were surrounding Cao Can and waiting for the signal within the city. Seeing that the guards of the barracks had not moved, they thought that they had yet to do anything, so they stayed put and waited patiently.
Suddenly, Cao Can's five groups of people swarmed over, forming a group of 2000 people. They complemented each other, and surprisingly, a path of blood opened up on each side, as they broke through the defensive line and rushed towards the south, joining up with the team that Long Tianyu had sent out, and left through the lush forest, heading towards New Yang County.
Zhou Wen led his army to the east, Wu Chen led his men to the north, and they chased after, who would have never thought that Long Tianyu would have already taken the south road, while the Tian Zang army outside the city had been scattered, Zhang Jie and Song Liu had combined their forces of twenty thousand, chasing after him from the tail, heading straight for the new sun.
It was now the middle of the night, and a full moon hung like a mirror in the clear blue sky. The moonlight was silver on the ground, and everything around was white, like a jade on the ground.
Carrying a beautiful woman, Long Tianyu and the rest of the soldiers galloped across the vast earth.
Long Tianyu and Cao Can's army had circled around the New Sun County and just happened to catch Yuan Ying as they were about to set off to escort the Kabuka Regiment. Everyone saw that everything was fine and their morale was high, no one expected that they would be deftly dealt with by Long Tianyu in a completely passive situation. Not only did the entire army break out of the encirclement, they even managed to rescue the Kabuki Regiment.
Yuan Ying reported the journey to Long Tianyu. There was originally a thousand man team on the way, under Chen Sheng's orders to secretly intercept them, but they were discovered in advance by Yuan Ying, and as they laid in ambush, although there were only four hundred people, they were defeated.
Long Tianyu's interest was piqued, he encouraged the soldiers, and then he placed the muse on his warhorse and went along with the cavalry, greatly increasing his pace. The army continued to move, by the afternoon, they had already arrived at the foothills and canyons south of the Single County.
Long Tianyu was relieved, he knew that the victory was already in his hands, the troops that were approaching were exhausted, but they could not hold on much longer, and suddenly a group of people came out of the canyon. The two cavalry generals, Guan Ying and Fan Kuai, who had not seen their leader for a long time, happily dismounted after seeing that the commander had returned safely, and went to meet them.
Fan Kuai laughed: General, I have been waiting for two days already, and am about to force myself to release my anger, if you still do not come back, I truly do not want to wait, I plan to lead troops into Chen County and capture Chen Sheng alive to avenge master!
Long Tianyu knew his character, and could not hold back with what he had to say, and laughed: "Luckily you are waiting here for my orders, otherwise I would have to punish you for leaving your post without permission, quickly meet Mr. Zhang Liang, you two are now Sir Gao Tang!"
Guan Ying and Fan Kuai had long heard of it and admired it. Now that they were the father-in-law of the Lord, they were so impressed that they prostrated themselves on the ground and hastily went forward to pay their respects.
looked back and saw the withered grass in the distance turning green and yellow. Dust flew everywhere as he chased after the canyon, and he could not help but to let out a loud laugh, and immediately sent a message: The entire army will be passing through the canyon, and we will leave this place to the two generals, Guan Ying!
