The fighting power of the man in black far exceeded Chen Zhong's expectation, and he was even more shocked to see that the leading man was so brave.
"General, go first! I'll intercept him later!"
The two personal guards also realized that the situation was not good. They saw that Xie Laosan had already put his foot on the rockery and would fall behind them in the next step. They quickly turned around to face Xie Laosan.
"That's fine!"
Chen Zhong knew that this was not the time to show off, so he picked up his gun and left. There were two more people missing from his side.
He quickly turned around the corridor and ran towards the backyard. Military generals like him are mostly accustomed to fighting techniques in battle formations, but their physical skills are mediocre, so when they wear armor, they become a burden.
However, the two personal guards risked their lives to block him, which bought him some time to escape.
After a wild run, the door to the backyard was clearly in sight, and several sergeants were still guarding it. This can be regarded as their daily control skill. Even if the fight in the front yard is so fierce, the back door is still firmly guarded.
"Open the door quickly and follow me out!"
Chen Zhongyao shouted and kept walking.
In a few steps, they arrived at the back door. Without saying much, everyone immediately opened the door and left. Soon, they disappeared outside the courtyard.
Not long after, Xie Laosan finally reached the back door. He saw the back door was wide open. He ran out and took a look. Where was Chen Zhong's figure?
"This thief got an advantage!"
After spitting violently, Xie Laosan knew that he could not stay here for long, so he turned around and went back to the courtyard to call other brothers.
However, at this time, the brothers who were responsible for intercepting the reinforcements outside the main gate were engaged with the enemy. For a moment, where could they withdraw?
Xie Laosan was worried, knowing that if he continued to fight here, the whole army would be destroyed, which would not help the situation.
So, while he ordered people to call the brothers outside to fight and retreat, looking for opportunities to save their lives, he led others to run towards the city gate, hoping to meet up with the brothers who were attacking the city gate, so as to increase their strength.
In this attack on the General's Mansion, most of the General's Guards Battalion was killed or wounded, and more than thirty of our own troops were killed. Excluding the brothers outside, Xie Laosan still had 1,780 people accompanying him.
…
Ruyang City was already ablaze, and shouts were everywhere. Many soldiers and civilians who were sleeping were suddenly awakened. They didn't know what the situation was outside, and they were panicked for a moment.
Wu Tongze was still calmly commanding at the top of the city, and the guards at the city gate had not relaxed at all.
However, after he sent a thousand sergeants to the granary to put out the fire, the five hundred brothers from the guard battalion lying nearby found an opportunity to break in.
Then, the cry of killing also sounded in an instant.
In the dark night, men in black suddenly appeared from everywhere.
Whizzing……
At a distance of dozens of steps, these black-clothed human beings are flexible and arrive in an instant, and their machines are activated one after another.
Under the inner city gate, the enemy's infantry and cavalry, who were originally well prepared to protect the outside, were caught off guard for a moment. Although there were a large number of people, they were already panicked by the sudden changes in the city. This time, they were even more panicked.
After the first buzzer sounded, many soldiers screamed and fell to the ground. When they were about to turn around and deal with the men in black, they had already entered the formation, causing chaos in their formation.
In such a close-range fight, all formations have little effect. Outside the city gate, the British army was violently banging on the gate, but inside the city, another attack came. For a moment, it was true that there was as much chaos as there was chaos.
"General, a group of people appeared out of nowhere and are attacking the city gate!"
Finally, the movement under the inner city gate was also reported to Wu Tong's ears.
"What!!"
Wu Tong was shocked and had an incredible look on his face. He originally thought that Ruyang was impregnable, but unexpectedly it was infiltrated by the enemy overnight.
