Chapter 178: The City Gate Opens Wide

Late at night, no moon.

The darkness of the river was as silent as ever, with the occasional fish popping out of the water and causing a ripple.

Suddenly, a huge building boat broke through the calm river and suddenly rushed out.

Behind it, hundreds of warships obscured the sky, and countless battle flags rattled in the wind.

Like a huge fierce beast, it swooped straight in the direction of Xiakou.

On the warship that appeared first, Lu Su stood on the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back and facing the icy night wind.

I saw that his face was still a little pale, and he coughed a few times from time to time, and it seemed that his illness had not been cured.

After a long time, a young man stepped out of the cabin.

This person was dressed in a long shirt, with a smile on his delicate face.

As soon as this person appears, it brings people an air of elegance, which makes people feel close unconsciously.

"Dadudu, you are not in good health, it is windy outside, let's go back!"

The gentle voice of the young man came out, which gave people a more comfortable feeling.

Lu Su turned his head when he heard the sound, and a smile appeared on his slightly pale face.

"Bo Yan is here! (Lu Xun, the word Boyan) just right, I just want to talk to someone! Come! ”

As he spoke, Lu Su beckoned to Lu Xun.

Hearing this, Lu Xun strode forward and stood side by side with Lu Su.

"What is the Governor thinking? Are you worried about this battle? ”

After a little groaning, Lu Xun said softly.

"yes!" Lu Su said with a slight sigh. "This time, Ziming (Lu Meng, Ziming) and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fought together, which makes people feel uneasy!

Although the Sun and Liu families are ostensibly an alliance, they actually want to annex each other in order to strengthen themselves.

Once something happens between them, Jingzhou will be given a chance.

That Xu Tian is not an ordinary person! For some reason, I've been restless for the past two days, and I hope everything goes well! ”

Lu Xun was silent, he looked at this person who still remembered the battle ahead even when he was seriously ill, and sighed in his heart.

Lu Su has been trying his best to promote the Sun-Liu alliance all his life, and he just wants to think about swallowing Liu and arrogance after he has the ability to resist the power of the north.

It's a pity that few people in the entire Jiangdong can understand his good intentions.

"He's actually very bitter...," Lu Xun muttered inwardly.

After a long time, Lu Xun took a deep breath of the cool breeze blowing in his face and spoke.

"The Metropolitan Governor doesn't have to worry about it, this time the lord personally went out to buy time for Ziming and them.

They will be fine, and in front of us, as long as we take Xiakou, whether it is Jingzhou or Guan Yu, it will not be a problem!

It's just..."

Speaking of this, he hesitated, pondered for a moment and continued.

"I'm afraid our trip won't be too smooth!

Guan Yu has always been the focus of guarding against us, especially after you led the army last time, he has taken even more strict precautions against us! ”

"So, be quick!" Lu Su coughed lightly and said resolutely. "We want to take Xiakou as quickly as possible and at all costs!

Otherwise, once Guan Yu knows about it and leads the army back to defense, everything we have done will be in vain! ”

After speaking, the two glanced at each other, and they both saw the firmness in each other's eyes!

As time passed, they got closer and closer to Xiakou.

The river in front of us was still pitch black, an unusual scene.

And the outline of Xiakou Castle can already be seen in the distance.

"Something is wrong!" Lu Xun first discovered the anomaly and said in a low voice. "Looks like they know we're coming!"

As soon as his words fell, Lu Su's smile had not disappeared.

Suddenly there was a fire in front of him, and the roar shook the sky.

Countless warships suddenly appeared, spreading horizontally at a great speed, forming a battle formation.

"Haha..."There was a loud laugh from the front.

I saw Guan Ping appear on the boat, and said loudly with a disdainful face.

"Guan has been waiting here for a long time!"

Seeing that the sneak attack was no longer successful, Lu Su and Lu Xun glanced at each other, and they didn't talk nonsense, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack!

Countless archers quickly appeared on the ships, bows and arrows, facing forward.

The mockery in Guan Ping's eyes was even stronger, and with a wave of his big hand, his own archers were also ready.

The Great War is imminent!

……

Xiakou City, at the city gate.

Wang Rui was dressed in a military uniform and came to the top of the city tower with a saber in his hand.

The wooden stick in his hand has long since disappeared, and at this moment he is walking like flying, and he can't see the slightest abnormality.

"The time has come?"

Wang Rui's eyes flashed, and he spoke coldly.

Behind him, Wang Wu followed indifferently.

Hearing this, he clenched his fists and bowed. "Big brother, it's almost!"

Looking at the pitch-black front, Wang Rui couldn't help frowning.

But a moment later, an eerie smile appeared on his face.

Not far from the city, a torch suddenly lit up, which was very conspicuous in the dark night.

After shaking it with some regularity, it disappears.

"Do it!"

As Wang Rui's words came out, Wang Wu behind him was in high spirits for a while, and left with his fists clenched.

Under the city tower, Wang Wu personally led more than a dozen people to the city gate with a swagger.

These people are all people he secretly bought, not only that, but nearly half of the people in charge of the city defense have been secretly bought by them.

This is not a difficult task for Wang Rui, who is fully responsible for the defense of the city.

A moment later, Wang Wu led his men to the city gate.

The captain guarding this gate saw Wang Wu at a glance, and immediately won with a smiling face.

"Brother Wang! Why did you come here in person, and if you had anything to say, just say no? ”

This person stepped forward to be a flattery, and the biggest reason was that during this period of time, many people like him were promoted.

In his opinion, it was because they climbed up to Wang Rui, who was in charge of city defense.

And Wang Rui's most trusted subordinates are the people in front of him.

It's just that he didn't know that those who were promoted, without exception, had become the other party's people!

"Boy, come on, come on!" Wang Wu beckoned to the captain, and after the other party stepped forward with a smile on his face, he put his arm around the other party's shoulders and whispered.

"Do you want to climb up?"

As he spoke, Wang Wu quietly glanced at the dozen or so people who followed.

Everyone immediately understood and quietly stepped forward without a trace.

When he advanced to a sufficient distance, he instantly drew his sword, stepped forward with lightning speed, and wiped the neck of the sergeant guarding the gate.

"This ...... You—" The lieutenant looked at Wang Wu in a panic, trembling all over, and was about to reach out to grab the saber at his waist.

It's a pity that his fate is already sealed.

A short sword slammed through his chest, blood splattered everywhere, and he collapsed.

Until he fell to the ground and died, his eyes were still wide open, full of horror and unwillingness.

The corners of Wang Wu's mouth rose slightly, and he nodded at everyone.

Several people quickly stepped forward, and with the loud sound of "boom", the city gate was opened.

At the same time as the gate was opened, torches were lit on top of the tower, and they shook in the same way as before...
