Zhou Yu saw the fiery snake soaring into the sky and recognized the direction of the city gate. His eyes suddenly tightened. What is this?
The fire snake jumped high into the sky, made a loud noise without warning, and suddenly exploded, forming a huge spark in the air that lasted for a long time.
Then another fire snake soared up and exploded again. The two of them reflected each other in the air. After a while, they slowly dimmed.
Zhou Yu didn't know what it was, but it was definitely not a rocket. Rockets couldn't fly so high, and they wouldn't explode in the air so that they could be seen from far away.
His heart tightened, something happened!
He galloped into the barracks and shouted: "Everyone follow me!"
Everyone, including the drunken corps leader, began to look for armor and weapons in a chaotic manner. Zhou Yu was glad that he was still here and there was still room for recovery!
Seeing that the soldiers were moving quickly and slowly, he made a quick decision: "When you're ready, follow me first, towards the south city gate!"
After hearing this, the soldiers picked up their weapons and followed Zhou Yu up the long street towards the city gate.
At this time, Yuan Xi saw two fireworks in the city on the deck. He was overjoyed and immediately ordered someone to light a firework, and a fire snake rushed into the sky.
Several merchant ships that had been slowly approaching suddenly accelerated and crashed into the pier, quickly opened the hatches, and soldiers in full uniform jumped onto the pier. With their knives, they rushed towards the still confused Sun Ce soldiers and chopped them to the ground one by one. Instantly took control of the dock.
Yuan Xi shouted: "Charge the city gate!"
The soldiers shouted and rushed towards the city gate several miles away.
At this time, at the south gate, Tian Yu raised his knife and shouted: "Stop them, and reinforcements will arrive in just half a quarter of an hour!"
But Tian Yu had no idea. They fought for the lives of several spies and killed more than a dozen gatekeepers as quickly as possible, opened the city gate, and then immediately set off fireworks. They thought it was fast enough.
But by chance, a general patrolled nearby with hundreds of cavalry, and the two sides collided!
Opposite were heavily armed cavalry, but Tian Yu's side were all civilians. They were at a disadvantage as soon as they fought. Seeing that the opposite side was surrounding them, not to mention half a quarter of an hour, there were more than twenty people here, and they couldn't even hold on to a cup of tea. arrive!
Tian Yu looked back at the pier. The soldiers were running here, but it was obviously too late. Once people like him died, the city gate would be closed immediately.
He was heartbroken and shouted: "Fight to the death, even if you die on the gate, you can't let the city gate be closed!"
His men suddenly roared in unison: "No!"
The general opposite was Qiao Rui who was leading the patrol. When he saw it, he shouted angrily: "Seeking death!"
"Follow me to kill the thieves and close the city gate immediately!"
His cavalrymen responded with a roar, and then rode around.
Tian Yu held the short knife, and when he was in despair, he heard the ground behind him begin to faintly shake.
He turned around and was overjoyed. Taishi Ci was coming with his cavalry!
He originally thought Taishi Ci was hiding far away, but it turned out that he was very close to the city gate. He didn't know how he hid his whereabouts.
Just as Qiao Rui led his troops to rush to the city gate, he saw a group of cavalry appearing out of nowhere and rushing to a mile away from the city gate. It was too late to close the city gate!
After a slight hesitation, he took off the long bow from his back and shouted: "Stop them with arrows!" At the same time, he raised his hand and fired an arrow at the leader, Tai Shici.
Taishi Cili turned slightly to one side, dodged the arrow, and had already grasped the long bow in his hand with his backhand. There was a bang sound from the bowstring, and almost at the same time, Taishi Cili's arrow had been shot out, hitting the horse's head on the bridge!
The horse neighed miserably and fell backwards. Qiao Rui lost his balance and fell down in embarrassment.
While he was still in the air, there was another sound of a string. Taishi Ci's second arrow had arrived and hit Qiao Rui hard in the chest!
There was a loud bang, and although the arrow was blocked by the armor, Qiao Rui was so shaken by the huge impact that he almost lost his breath, became unsteady, and fell to the ground.
He reluctantly got up, and saw another arrow flying towards his face. He couldn't help but be stunned. He twisted around hard and barely dodged it, but he saw that Tai Shici had already rushed in front of him with his gun drawn!
Qiao Rui roared, grabbed the iron spear and blocked it for a few times. Then he was exhausted and was knocked to the ground by Tai Shi Ci.
His soldiers still wanted to save him, but they were beaten to pieces by the cavalry behind Tai Shici, and the screams could not be heard.
Seeing that Qiao Rui was still trying to struggle, Tian Yu went up and slapped the opponent's helmet with his knife, knocking him unconscious on the ground.
He led his men to tie up Qiao Rui, and then Yuan Xicai led everyone to rush to the door.
Yuan Xi was relieved when he saw that Tai Shici had already rushed into the city on horseback. He asked Tian Yu to put on the armor he brought and ordered people to guard the city gate before joining forces and entering the city.
As soon as Zhou Yu led his troops to the south gate, he saw Qiao Rui being knocked off his horse. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and his heart felt cold.
The other party came too fast!
And looking at it like this, the enemies are all battle-hardened generals, and they cooperate with each other very well. Qiao Rui was only just a few seconds away from closing the city gate, but the opponent didn't even give him that much time!
Zhou Yu saw that Tai Shici's cavalry divided into three groups as soon as they entered the gate. Two groups galloped along the city wall, heading straight for him. He immediately understood that the other side wanted to control the other three city gates to prevent the soldiers in the city from escaping!
Isn’t this too confident?
Zhou Yu made a quick decision and shouted to the soldiers: "Hold them off. Come with a few people and follow me to the North City Gate!"
After saying that, he turned his horse around and ran away.
Zhou Yu thought very clearly that Qiao Rui, as a general under Yuan Shu, had extraordinary martial arts skills. He couldn't even sustain a few moves. He didn't know martial arts, and staying here was just a gift. Guangling was finished!
The plan for now is to take Mrs. Wu and escape from the North City Gate!
Without thinking, he hit his horse hard and galloped towards the city lord's mansion.
Taishi Ci led his cavalry, and when he saw the direction Zhou Yu was escaping, he ordered everyone to chase him.
The soldiers left behind by Zhou Yu saw this and tried their best to stop them. Sun Ce had always been very good to them, but now it was time for them to serve!
By the time Tian Yu arrived, Tai Shi Ci had already killed all the soldiers who were blocking him and chased him on horseback.
Tian Yu saw dozens of corpses of soldiers standing on the ground, and suddenly his eyes narrowed, and he found that one of them looked exactly like the one who had been drinking with him in the restaurant during the day, and he couldn't help but sigh.
They did hand over their weapons when they entered the city, but while Tian Yu was pestering Shi Chang to drink, other spies had already taken the opportunity to go to the blacksmith shop and buy some daggers and iron stabs.
Although it is not as effective as a long knife, it is enough to kill people if hidden on the body.
Tian Yu and others took the opportunity to get dark, hid the short swords and daggers on their bodies, rushed to the city gate at the appointed time, killed the guards, then lit fireworks, opened the city gate, and welcomed Yuan Xi Taishi Ci into the city.
Although there was a variable like Qiao Rui in the middle, Taishi Ci came much faster than expected and broke through the city gate in one fell swoop.
Zhou Yu was fighting his horse with all his strength. He felt that the enemy behind him would soon be chasing him. He must take Mrs. Wu away as soon as possible!
After a while, he rushed to the city lord's mansion. At this time, the sound of fighting in the city had been heard. The servants had already opened the door and fled, and the entire mansion was empty.
Zhou Yu didn't stop, and rushed into the courtyard on horseback. He shouted, and when he saw Mrs. Wu coming out with the baby in her arms, he quickly got off the horse and said anxiously: "Madam, Yu is guilty, Mr. Qiao has been arrested, Madam, please ride on my horse." escape!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu only hesitated for a moment and then made a decisive decision: "Leave me alone, Gong Jin rides away quickly!"
Zhou Yu was stunned: "Madam, what does this mean?"
Mrs. Wu looked determined, "Gong Jin, I'm just a useless woman, but you can't die. Bo Fu needs you to achieve great things!"
Zhou Yu said harshly: "Madam, if you are caught and recognized, you will be used to blackmail Bo Fu!"
Mrs. Wu looked cold: "When that day comes, I will commit suicide!"
"Besides, I rarely see people. All my servants have fled. I will find a way to hide my identity."
"It's different with you, the whole city recognizes you!"
After Zhou Yu heard this, he still wanted to speak, but Mrs. Wu said flatly: "No need to persuade me, even if we share a horse, we will be overtaken by the other side!"
And given her status, it was impossible for her to ride on the same horse as another man.
"Please help Bo Fu well, and the Sun family will be able to rely on Mr. Gong Jin!"
Zhou Yu heard the sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance and knew that he could no longer hesitate. He had to make up his mind and said: "Madam, please take care. When I go back, I will do everything possible with Bo Fu to rescue Madam!"
Seeing Zhou Yu get on his horse, Mrs. Wu said: "Don't save me, otherwise the enemy will guess that I am trapped here!"
"After you go back, you must let Bo Fu spread the word that he saw me die in the rebel army!"
"Only by doing this will the enemy relax and we can have a chance to escape!"
"Let's go!"
After hearing this, Zhou Yu had tears in his eyes, gritted his teeth and rode out of the house, fleeing to the north gate.
Along the way, he saw chaos in the city and corpses of soldiers everywhere. He couldn't help but feel hot in his chest and almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
His heart was full of unwillingness and resentment. Guangling, who he thought was the safest place, was lost like this!
He lost it in his own hands!
That day, I let Zhang Fei fall into a trap and lose him to Pitan City. At that time, I laughed at Zhang Fei, but I didn't expect that the retribution would be upon me in an instant!
Where did the enemy come from, and why did they appear in Guangling without any warning?
If you are coming from the north and west of Haixi, there are so many spies in the middle, how can you not see it?
If they come from the south, are all the soldiers patrolling the river derelict in their duties?
The more Zhou Yu thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He was conceited about his natural talents and had never been defeated since he came out of the mountain. However, he lost all his money at the right time. Not only did all his soldiers be wiped out, but Mrs. Wu was also trapped in the city!
How will he face Sun Ce when he goes back?
He couldn't help but let out an angry roar. Hearing that there seemed to be cavalry chasing behind him, he quickly fought hard and fled towards Tancheng.
When Yuan Xi rushed to the city, he found that he had underestimated the resistance of Sun Ce's soldiers.
This sneak attack was perfect, with almost no mistakes, and Taishi Ci went much faster than expected. But even so, one thousand soldiers on his side could not completely suppress the thousands of soldiers in the city, and Sun Ce's army resisted even more. It was so fierce that Taishi Ci and Tian Yu spent a lot of effort to defeat it.
But a considerable number of soldiers and civilians escaped from the north gate before Yuan Xi arrived.
Taishi Ci went out of the city to pursue him, but outside the city were dense forests and rivers, and the people scattered and fled. Taishi Ci chased for a while, but had to return and pacify the city first.
By daybreak, Yuan Xijun had already controlled the four gates and successfully captured Guangling City.
