Chapter 107

At night, at the head of the north wall of Pengcheng, Xuzhou, about a dozen soldiers were watching the night, looking out of the city from time to time, and several soldiers of Xuzhou were also very irresponsible leaning against the edge of the city wall, dozing off. Several figures crept up to the city head quietly. They were very dexterous, just like a cat. They walked without a sound.

The figures crept into the shadow of the corner of the city head, showed half of their heads slightly, swept the whole city wall once, and then withdrew immediately. He made several gestures to his companion behind him, then nodded at the same time, and then scattered away with his hands and feet. At the back of a Xuzhou soldier nearest to this corner, a dark shadow suddenly flashed out, gently and slowly, reaching out to the head of the soldier who was still dozing off.

These two hands are wearing black gloves, one hand is also holding a blackened dagger, these two hands so slowly close to the soldier's face, but the soldier is at a loss. Suddenly, the hands suddenly accelerated, the dagger quickly cut to the soldier's neck, and the other hand also timely covered the soldier's mouth. The soldier only felt a sudden chill in his neck, and immediately opened his eyes. But it was late. He wanted to make a cry for help, but his mouth was covered to death. His wide eyes closed slowly again, but he would never open again.

Such a scene was staged at the same time at the head of the city at the same time. In the next half an hour, it was repeated. After a while, all the more than 20 Xuzhou soldiers who had been guarding the city were lying in a pool of blood. At this time, the figures gathered together again, but this time there was no need to hide. Under the torch, there were five tall and thin men with a blackened dagger in their hands, but now they have been completely dyed red with blood, and their black strong robes are more or less stained with blood.

Several people nodded to each other, and one of them said in a hoarse voice: "it's time now. According to the truth, they are coming soon. We should go to the gate and open the gate." Then he pointed to a man standing on his right and said, "you, stay here and signal to each other."

"Yes The designated man threw his fist, but he didn't shout out the response of the army, and then he walked away. The rest of the people also ran to the city under the leadership of the man who just spoke.

After about half an hour or so, outside Pengcheng, a light suddenly lit up in the dark, turning three times in that dark. The man in black, who had been watching the city with a cat's body, quickly picked up a torch beside him and made a half circle in the air. Then he went to the other side of the city and threw the torch directly.

Before long, the gate, which symbolized the final defense of Pengcheng, opened slowly with a low voice.

"Go on There was a deep and rough sound in the darkness outside the city. Then, a series of dull horse hooves sounded. Countless cavalry in black armor quickly came out of the darkness and rushed directly to Pengcheng.

At this time, near the gate of Pengcheng City, a patrol team in charge of night watch came slowly. Just after arriving at the gate, the leader of the team had only a casual look at the direction of the gate, but at the next moment, the leader's eyes immediately glared at the boss, pointing to the open gate and exclaiming in a trembling voice: "how, how, how did the gate open?"

There were only three people in this group. When they heard the leader's voice, the other two looked at the gate in surprise. After a long time, they regained their consciousness. The leader knocked on his companions and said, "what are you doing! Come on! Come on! Blow the trumpet When the leader teaches his subordinates, he has forgotten that he is the first one to be shocked.

However, the beaten patrolman did not have the heart to refute. He took a deep breath from his arms and was about to blow. Suddenly, the patrolman felt a chill in his back. Looking down, a handful of knife tips protruded from his chest. Looking up, I saw a figure in black standing behind his two other companions without exception, and their faces were all showing a look of pain, looking at themselves in despair.

Do you look like them? This was the last thought that the patrolman had in mind, and the next moment he fell to the ground in darkness. The three men in black looked at the three fallen bodies in front of them without expression. Suddenly, they heard a short-term cat call. The three men in black flashed at the same time and disappeared. On the ground, except for the bodies of three patrol soldiers who had just fallen down, dozens of bodies of Xuzhou soldiers were lying on the edge of the wall not far away. People in black didn't take care of them, so they left. In their eyes, whether the bodies were handled or not could not affect their plans.

After a while, those Black Knights outside the city rushed into the city gate without defense. One of the leading Knights suddenly pulled the reins and stopped the mount. The Black Knights behind him all stopped after rushing into the city, and they all lined up behind the leading knight.

"But general XiahouDun?" A hoarse voice sounded in the night sky, and the leading knight, with his legs clamped, drove his mount forward slowly for a few steps, and went directly to the light of the fire, revealing the true face of the knight. He was dressed in fine black armor and armed with a steel gun. However, the cold light reflected in his eyes was chilling. It was Xia Houdun, Cao Cao's general!XiahouDun glanced at the corpses on the ground, and saw that the wounds were all fatal with a single blow. Even he could not help shivering when he saw them. There was a trace of appreciation in XiahouDun's eyes. He looked at the direction of the voice and said, "it's exactly XiahouDun's neat way, sir!"

"I dare not praise you as a general! It's not too late to ask the general to follow some of the villain's subordinates to attack the governor's office and the barracks in the city. As long as you occupy these two places, Xuzhou will be owned by Cao Gong! " In the dark night, we can't see the person's appearance, but the hoarse voice is still not arrogant and impetuous, maintaining a light taste.

XiahouDun also knew that it was important to do business. He turned his head and saw that two more men in black appeared on his right side. They clasped their fists at XiahouDun. XiahouDun waved to the Black Knights behind him. The Black Knights were divided into two teams at once, and the two men in black ran in different directions with the two teams of Black Knights.

Seeing his men leave, XiahouDun said to the darkness, "go! Take me to your master

As soon as Xia Houdun's voice fell, two figures appeared in front of him, and then a dark shadow fell on the other end of the wall behind him. Xia Houdun was surrounded by three people, but there was no reaction on his face. He just looked at the two men in black in front of him.

One of the men in black praised with a hoarse voice: "Xiahou general is brave! As expected, it deserves the reputation! Cao Gong has generals like generals under him. It can be seen that my master is right to choose to join him! "

Xia Houdun was still not arrogant and impetuous, and said with a straight face: "since your master has taken refuge in the hero, please rest assured that your master has made great contributions to Xuzhou this time, and he will certainly not treat your master badly!"

"The villain would like to thank Cao Gong and the general first." The man in black bowed deeply to XiahouDun, and finally stood up to the side, clasped his fist at him and said, "general, this way, please! My master has been waiting for the general for a long time! " With that, the man in black took the lead. Xia Houdun frowned. He had always been aboveboard and aboveboard. What he hated most was these furtive behaviors. However, for the sake of Cao Cao's great cause, Xia Houdun resisted by force and drove his horse to follow the man in black, while the other two men in black followed behind him, looking around with vigilance.

It was not long before XiahouDun and the three men in black disappeared in the dark, when the two teams of Black Knights suddenly started to scream in the direction of running, which directly cut through the sky and broke the calm of Pengcheng.

"what? Read it again

"Seven days ago, Cao Cao sent XiaHouYuan and lejin to lead 20000 troops from Qingzhou to capture xiapi! Send Cao Ren and Li Dian to lead the army, and send troops from Yanzhou to capture Xiaopei! He sent XiahouDun as the vanguard and led 3000 iron horses to Pengcheng. He took Pengcheng down three days ago! Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou, is killed! Cao Cao is now leading the army into Pengcheng with five directions The sergeant reported the military newspaper again.

Sun Jian stood up and exclaimed, "no way! Xiapi and Xiaopei were just as good as xiapi. Pengcheng was the place of Xuzhou provincial governor's office. No matter how brave and skillful Xia Houdun was, he could not have captured Pengcheng with only 3000 cavalry! What's more, seven days ago, Cao Cao captured xiapi and Xiaopei. Why is this information only sent now? "

The surrounding generals were all talking about it. Obviously, for the first time, they doubted the intelligence system which had been very accurate. Many generals and ministers discussed with each other. After all, Cao Cao has already occupied Yanzhou and Qingzhou. If Cao Cao really attacks Xuzhou, then Cao Cao's power will be greatly enhanced. What's more, Xuzhou is adjacent to Jiangdong. If Cao Cao gets Xuzhou, it will restrict the development of Jiangdong in the future.

However, not all of the people present were at a loss. Chen Ren, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and Cheng Yu, who had always been sitting in the corner, were all thinking in silence. However, in addition to their first-class advisers, there was another person who was only surprised at the beginning and then fell into meditation.
