Outside Tai'an City, a team of about 300 people wearing Fujun armor rode horses to the city gate. This team of Fujun soldiers and horses was a bit messy, everyone was panting and their armor was uneven.
The government troops guarding the gate of Tai'an City ordered the government troops to stop. Afterwards, a veteran general wearing a general's uniform ran out from among the government soldiers at the foot of the city and chatted impatiently with the soldiers at the city gate.
"Open the city gate quickly, General Helan Changan!" Helan Changan gasped.
"General Helan?" The guard at the top of the city used the light from the torch to take a closer look. It turned out to be Helan Chang'an!
"General Helan, something happened in Zuozhen!" An ominous premonition surged in the guard general's heart.
Helan Changan, who was originally responsible for guarding Zuozhen, appeared in Tai'an, and looking at Helan Changan's embarrassed appearance, if nothing happened to Zuozhen, the guard said that he could eat "Xiang" live in public.
"General, please open the city quickly. We will go into the city and discuss it in detail!" Helan Changan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear.
"Quick! Open the city gate!"
"You! Go and report to General Chu!" the guard said anxiously.
Since Jiming and Yecheng, even Zuozhen has had troubles. This matter is a huge one, and Chu Jingzhong must be informed as soon as possible.
Huangfu Wugui led most of Tai'an's soldiers and horses to leave, and also gathered scattered soldiers and horses from all over Hebei Province. Although Huangfu Wugui left, the city of Tai'an still had to defend. Therefore, there are still three thousand soldiers and horses stationed in Tai'an City under the leadership of Chu Jingzhong.
And Helan Changan is also a senior general in the Hebei Province Army. Most of the generals in the Hebei Province Army recognize him, and this guard is no exception. Therefore, there was not much suspicion, and Helan Changan's troops were easily able to open the city gate.
Among this group of people, there was an ugly man who looked like a little giant. He walked slowly with the cavalry. After all the troops entered the city, the city guard came down to greet them.
Suddenly, the giant man burst out in anger. He lifted up the door-shutter that weighed more than a hundred kilograms and rushed towards the city gate guard with bloody force. The gate guard had no time to react before his head was cut off by the knife.
Blood was flying, and with the sudden attack of the huge man, the three hundred fake soldiers of the government who had just entered Tai'an City also started to use their hands, and in twos and threes, they subdued the dozens of defenders guarding the city gate.
This giant man is one of Wang Yu's earliest god-level warriors, Big Mac.
At the beginning, they did follow Wang Yu in Yannan Road, but in order to catch Hebei Road off guard, Wang Yu did not return to Hebei Road at the first time.
However, as the wars have begun one after another, in addition to Guan Yu who is recovering from his injuries, powerful generals such as Big Mac and Odysseus have also returned one after another.
Han Xin has a big appetite. He wants not only Zuozhen City, but also Tai'an City, and even the final Huangfu Wugui.
After Helan Changan surrendered, Han Xin's next plan could then be launched. That is to use Helan Chang'an to deceive the gates of Tai'an and capture the last of the three cities.
However, if Han Xin's department mobilized troops, it would be too slow. By the time Helan Chang'an arrived at Tai'an City, the news of Helan Chang'an's surrender had already spread.
Therefore, Han Xin had no intention of mobilizing troops in person, but handed over this important task to Wen Zhong. Helan Chang'an quickly met Wen Zhong back, and then falsely opened the Tai'an city gate. With the few remaining troops in Tai'an City, as long as the city gate can be falsely opened, then the presence of three thousand black knights is enough to solve the remaining problems.
"Open the city gate and let General Wen's men enter the city."
Big Mac shouted loudly, and immediately two black cavalry wearing government armor opened the city gate. Not far away, Wen Zhong led a large number of black cavalry and charged at full speed.
After Wen Zhong saw Helan Chang'an falsely opening the city gate and leading the troops into the city, he was already prepared. At this time, the city gate opened wide, and Wen Zhong directly led the cavalry behind him and rushed into the city gate at the fastest speed.
Moreover, at this time, the Tai'an City garrison soldiers had not yet figured out the situation. Why did this group of "ones" who had just entered the city suddenly rebel and open the city gates to let the enemy troops in. The defenders near the city gate fell into chaos.
Big Mac led the black cavalry to charge in the city, while Wen Zhong led some of the cavalry to dismount and fight at the city gate. Both Big Mac and Wen Zhongyi, as well as the black knights under his command, have been battle-hardened for a long time. They have experienced countless fierce battles and dangerous battles in their lives. There is no need to be merciful and polite, and it is difficult for them to be emotionally touched by fighting. , the killing turned the world upside down, and the Xiudu City was shaken by the screams of the defenders.
In the city lord's mansion, the lights in the study were still on. Chu Jingzhong was not sleepy at all because he was concerned about the progress of the situation.
Several city officials chatted with them, hoping that the rebels could be put down as soon as possible, otherwise it would be useless to continue fighting like this.
Chu Jingzhong was dealing with various trivial matters in the city these days, but the panicked shouts of the guards could be heard outside the study: "General, it's bad, the bandits have entered the city."
In the silent second half of the night, the guards' voices sounded sharp and stern, and the news they conveyed was so shocking that several of the subordinates were already jumping like rabbits in fright.
Chu Jingzhong was also so shocked that he almost stumbled and fell off the Grand Master's chair. Now there were only three thousand soldiers in the city.
If the enemy army has not opened the city gate, even if the enemy army attacks in large numbers, Chu Jingzhong is sure to hold on for a certain period of time and try to buy Chu Jingzhong as long as possible.
But once the city gate is opened and the enemy forces enter the city, his current military disadvantage will be revealed.
"What to do! What to do?" Chu Jingzhong felt a headache and couldn't think of any good way to break the situation.
In just a moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the city lord's palace, and the voices of crying fathers and mothers gradually became louder, and the sky-high fire light ignited from the north, illuminating the study window.
The blazing firelight filtered through the window, and while Chu Jingzhong remained calm, the remaining officials were stunned with shock.
At this moment, Captain Zheng Lang suddenly rushed in with a dozen soldiers.
After all, he was a military attaché, and Zheng Lang looked calm, but his clothes were disheveled, his hair was disheveled, and he was only wearing half of his armor.
The dozen or so soldiers behind him were even more miserable, and two of them were even barefoot. It looked like they had been forcefully woken up from their sleep and ran here in the dark without having time to put on their shoes.
As soon as he saw Chu Jingzhong, Zheng Lang said sternly: "General..."
