Sun Guan led the group of people to ambush cavalry of Youzhou, leaving Wu Dun in charge of protecting Affected City. For some reason, Wu Dun's eyelids constantly twitched. Although he did not participate in the ambush against the cavalry, he was still worried. He had a nagging feeling that something big was going to happen. Wu Dun who was extremely annoyed had been wandering around the city walls ever since Sun Guan left, and his eyes were constantly sizing up the north. But in the wilderness, he couldn't see anything.
Just as he was getting more and more agitated, he suddenly heard hurried and random footsteps in front of him. Under the bright moonlight, a few shadows emerged from the wilderness far away. Soon after, there were more and more of them, and finally, countless of them formed a group, rushing towards Affected City like a group of frightened rabbits.
"Be careful of the enemy's attack!"
Suddenly, a thought flashed across Wu Dun's mind, without even thinking, he shouted out the order of "Be careful of the enemy's attack". If the soldiers were to sneak into the Affected City during the chaos and work together, they would probably be chased away by the officials and army.
The xanthopanax on top of the city wall was still confused. They could see that the one running towards them was their brother, but why did the Lord General shout "beware of enemy attacks"? However, no one dared to disobey the general's orders. They immediately mustered their courage and assumed a fighting stance.
"Open the city gate! Quickly open the gate!"
"You guys are enjoying yourselves in the city. I, your father, will go out to fight, and when I return, I won't even open the door for you guys. Be careful, the Lord General might skin you alive."
Not long later, the rushing xanthopanax arrived at the city walls, and before they could even catch their breath, they shouted at the city walls. As he shouted, he pounded on the city gate. Maybe it was because the xanthopanax guarding the city was too slow, but some of the xanthopanax below the city walls were already cursing. The xanthopanax that had been knocking on the city gate were all under Sun Guan, some of his subordinates had already circled around the city and went to the West of the City Camp.
"Bastard, shut up and get your generals to speak."
Wu Dun shouted from above the city, and the imposing manner in his voice caused all the cursing below the city to stop. At this moment, which commander would dare to answer? However, the xanthopanax was gathering more and more at the bottom of the city, the shouts became louder and louder, causing Wu Dun to become anxious.
"Which one of you saw the Lord General?"
"No, I didn't."
"It seems like he will need to wait."
The voices coming from below the city walls made Wu Dun even more uncertain about what was happening to Lord General. An ominous premonition surfaced in Wu Dun's mind, he looked at the dense crowd below the city and hesitated whether or not he should open the city gates. He raised his head and looked into the distance. There were still many xanthopanax that were running towards him.
In the xanthopanax below the city, there were two people mixed in the crowd, because their figures were too huge, it was very easy for them to be exposed, causing them to have no choice but to sit on the ground, surrounded by more than three thousand elites that were selected from the Qingzhou officers and soldiers.
"Fourth Brother, this fella guarding the city is very smart. What else can we do if he doesn't let us into the city?"
"Later, he will definitely let us enter the city. I don't believe that he would dare to block Sun Guan outside the city."
Just as Dian Wei and Xu Zhu were conversing in a low voice, a large group of xanthopanax finally returned. Under the protection of the janissaries, Sun Guan arrived at the side of the city wall.
"Lord General, I will open the gate right now and let you in. But you have to be careful, no matter what people do, they will be able to get in. "
Wu Dun's words reminded Sun Guan, he quickly swept his eyes across the black mass of people. Although the moon was very bright, he could only see rows and rows of heads moving, which was not easy to explain. The xanthopanax had only been in trouble for a little more than a month and they were not really familiar with each other yet, so who would know who was the spy?
"Listen up, stand according to the 10,000 man team and the thousand-man unit. Let the Captain lead the queue and enter the city."
Sun Guan's reaction was exceptionally fast as he immediately thought of a plan. Although there were too many soldiers that he did not know, he did know nearly a hundred Captains. And the Captain definitely knows one of his centurions, so you shouldn't be able to get too many people in here.
"This isn't good. If we make them queue up to enter the city, we will expose ourselves. It would be better to wait for their city gates to open, and then directly attack them to seize the city gates."
"Why haven't they arrived yet? If the city gates are not open enough for them, we will immediately attack the city. "
"Come here, which team are you from?"
Just as Dian Wei and Xu Zhu were thinking of a way, the xanthopanax's team had already started to gather. The officers and soldiers did not expect that there would be such a situation, and did not know how to respond. After hesitating for a moment, a centurion walked towards them while shouting.
"I'll be right there. I'll be right there."
Finally, a clever officer replied, causing the centurion to stop in his tracks. However, the centurion was still very responsible, he didn't forget to scold them when he turned around.
"Hurry up and gather here. When the soldiers arrive, you won't be able to enter the city."
"Okay, we'll be right there."
I can't drag this on any longer, or I'll be discovered by the xanthopanax. Dian Wei indicated with his mouth at Xu Zhu and the two of them stood up. He quietly held the big blade in his hand, looking in the direction of Sun Guan, preparing to kill him in one strike. Even if he couldn't enter the Affected City, he had to kill Sun Guan.
"Come here, hurry up."
"The cavalry is here …"
"The cavalry is here …"
Just as Dian Wei and Xu Zhu were about to attack, the ground beneath their feet suddenly started to shake. They were extremely familiar with the galloping horses' hooves, and they felt extremely familiar with it when they heard it. In that moment, the Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves screamed in fear, and the soldiers who were lining up hurriedly rushed towards the city gate, and started pounding on it with all their might.
"Don't panic, don't panic! Lance Soldier has to quickly arrange a formation to meet the enemy, and archer has to quickly line up. "
Sun Guan understood that if he lost his head, these tens of thousands of people would not be a match for the cavalry, but if he set up the Long Spear Array, the cavalry would not be able to gain anything. But right at this moment, the city gates opened. It turned out that Wu Dun who was on the city wall was even more worried for Sun Guan's safety after seeing the cavalry following him, so he quickly ordered the soldiers to open the gates.
Once the city gate was opened, the soldiers would no longer have the will to fight. There was no need to care about the Long Spear Array anymore as they ran into the city. Some soldiers who were still too late simply threw away their spears and bows.
"You're finally here."
Dian Wei and Xu Zhu looked at each other and laughed, then waved at the over three thousand elite soldiers, and everyone started to squeeze through the gates. How could the xanthopanax soldiers be their match? Not long later, they squeezed their way to the front, and just as they were about to squeeze into the city, they suddenly heard Sun Guan who was already on the city walls shouting loudly.
"The officials are here, the officials are here! Quickly close the city gates, quickly close the city gates, those who are not in the city, hurry to the West of the City Camp!"
As soon as Sun Guan finished speaking, dozens of xanthopanax soldiers came up to close the city gate. The current Dian Wei was only one step away from the city gate, without much time to think, he shook his head at Xu Zhu, and the two of them used all their strength to push down a large group of xanthopanax soldiers. The moment xanthopanax closed its gates, Dian Wei took the initiative to rush to the city gate.
"The general has ordered us to get out of here quickly and reach the West of the City Camp."
"Scram!"
Dian Wei roared in rage, and suddenly threw a flying kick. With a "boom", half of the city gate was opened, and more than a dozen soldiers who were guarding the gate fell to the ground. Soon after, Xu Zhu also squeezed forward and pushed with his two hands, causing the other city gate to suddenly open as well. The three thousand odd elite soldiers behind them also took advantage of the opportunity to squeeze into the crowd.
"Seize the city gate!"
Dian Wei and Xu Zhu who had squeezed their way into the city, waved their hands, bringing over a thousand elite soldiers to attack the walls on both sides of the city gate. Facing the army that suddenly revealed their weapons, Sun Guan and Wu Dun were shocked, they immediately understood, the most worrisome thing had still happened, the soldiers had finally snuck into the city.
"Kill …"
Without saying a word, Xu Zhu climbed up the wall and waved his blade towards the xanthopanax s on the wall. The two incoming xanthopanax soldiers did not even have time to attack, Xu Zhu's big blade had already lightly sliced across the neck of one of the xanthopanax s, causing hot blood to gush out from his throat like a fountain, splashing all over the ground.
The other xanthopanax was about to dodge when he suddenly saw a steel blade cutting his stomach. The sharp blade slashed across and the intestines, stomach and internal organs all fell onto the ground with a "hualala" sound. He looked at his stomach in a daze.
Just as Dian Wei stepped onto the city wall, a dozen pikes pierced his direction. The furious Dian Wei roared, the two large iron halberd s separated into two, with a dozen or so pikes in his embrace, he used his strength to forcefully throw the dozen or so xanthopanax soldiers off the city wall.
"Die …"
With a sudden wave of his hand, dozens of pikes flew out from Dian Wei's hands and pierced towards the Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves on the city wall. Because the walls were too narrow and the xanthopanax was too crowded, when they saw a row of spear forest rushing towards them, those xanthopanax were unable to dodge in time and in a short while, a portion of them fell to the ground.
"Ah …"
Then, the xanthopanax on the city wall released waves of wails and howls, taking advantage of the xanthopanax being in a state of panic, Dian Wei had already jumped to their side. In a moment of leisure, the two large iron halberd s were dancing in the air, but when they raised their halberds, a cold light flashed, the blades cut across their necks, releasing many dazzling blood lotuses.
The cavalry that had arrived outside the city gate were Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. They had followed Yang Lin's orders, and were waiting for Zhao Yun and Cang Ba to lead the Qingzhou Government Army to chase after impending disaster, after all attacking the city requires them to rely on the infantry. No matter how strong the cavalry was, they could not mount their horses onto the city wall.
"Kill …"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei shouted at the same time, they waved their pikes hard, and immediately after, over three thousand horses raised their swords high up, releasing an earth-shattering roar, and in that moment, over three thousand horses galloped forward, their horses' hooves frantically galloping towards the xanthopanax in front of the city.
"Ghost …"
Seeing these Ghost Cavalry s coming up again, the Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves was already frightened out of his wits. At this time, the city gates were already occupied by Dian Wei and Xu Zhu. The xanthopanax soldiers outside the city gates could not advance any further, and the ones at the back were the enormous cavalry of Youzhou and Qingzhou officers and soldiers. In his despair, Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves shouted and ran towards West of the City Camp.
Different from the past, Yang Lin did not order Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to capture the captives, and even Zhao Yun and Cang Ba who were leading the soldiers of the Qingzhou did not have the mission of capturing the captives, allowing them to freely run around. The xanthopanax soldiers were able to smoothly escape. They thought that they were very lucky, but they did not know that Yang Lin wanted them to spread the fear of the cavalry of Youzhou to all the other xanthopanax s.
"Kill …"
Sun Guan shouted, his eyes almost shooting fire. At this moment, the cavalry soldiers had already arrived at the city gates. At the same time, a large group of soldiers had caught up. The xanthopanax outside the city gates had already escaped without a trace, and the city walls were already occupied by the officials. Sun Guan who had nowhere to go raised his blade high up and was about to pounce and fight Dian Wei, but was stopped by Wu Dun.
"Lord General must not, there are still tens of thousands of warriors at the west gate. We can quickly go to the west gate and gather all the soldiers, we can still fight."
"Sigh …" Could it be that they will give Affected City to the officials just like that? "
"In Lord General, the soldiers have already occupied the city gates. The soldiers in the city do not have the will to fight, so it is not likely that the war will be a good one. We should retreat to the Ximen Village and work things out. There will be more time in the future, so there's no need to fight over the short term. "
"Forget it, immediately send orders for the entire army to retreat into the Ximen Village."
Sun Guan understood in his heart that he could no longer defend the Affected City, so he might as well give up and quickly return to his own West of the City Camp to gather his soldiers. Moreover, the xanthopanax's property and food were all in the West of the City Camp. As long as he kept the property and food, there would still be a day for the xanthopanax to make a comeback.
The Ximen Village was a large camp built in the Affected City at the time of the attack. When Sun Guan and Wu Dun brought the handicapped veterans to the West of the City Camp, Yin Li and Chang Xi immediately came forward to welcome them. Following closely behind Sun Guan and Wu Dun was the cavalry of Youzhou, who had already caught up. Sun Guan immediately ordered all the soldiers to put on their equipment and stand guard, setting up a defensive formation, in case the cavalry of Youzhou took advantage of this to attack the camp.
However, the cavalry of Youzhou did not attack the Ximen Village, nor did they give chase. Almost all of the soldiers and cavalry of Youzhou's troops entered the Affected City, as if they had forgotten that the xanthopanax still had a West of the City Camp, causing most of the fleeing soldiers to come back.
"Send more exorcism to investigate and see what the officials and army are up to."
Sun Guan was still worried, he really did not understand what the officials and army were trying to do, why they did not take advantage of the victory to take over his Ximen Village. Only after the exorcism brought back the news did he relax.
"Reporting to the officials, after occupying the impending disaster, they all went to sleep."
