Chapter 16: Uninvited Guests

Han Xuan ordered someone to take care of Zhang Liao, and he and Chen Wu went to lead the army to prepare to attack Hefei City. Looking at the towering city wall, Han Xuan glanced at Chen Wu and said to him, "Although the enemy army is only a few thousand people, they are all elite. You led 10,000 elite troops to attack the south gate, and I led 20,000 troops to attack the west gate, so that the enemy could not find out the direction of our army's main attack. Tonight, while the enemy army is tired, I ordered Dong Ping to lead the Shadow Tiger Army to attack the city wall, and this city can also be taken down. ”

Han Xuan and Chen Wu divided their troops to storm the south gate and the west gate, but Li Dian and Le Jin could not hold out. Li Dian was also guilty when he learned that Zhang Liao was captured, and when Zhang Liao's army was under siege, although he led the army to the rescue, he was repelled by Gan Ning. Now I can only ask Xu Du for help, hoping that reinforcements will arrive, otherwise Hefei will be lost.

Han Xuan attacked the city for a day, and the soldiers and generals in Hefei City were sleepy. It was getting dark, Dong Ping led a hundred Shadow Tiger Army to quietly come to the city, Dong Ping commanded everyone with gestures, they took off the climbing rope they were carrying and climbed the city wall.

Fortunately, there were not many defenders on the city, and after Dong Ping jumped up, he immediately raised his two guns and stabbed a defender to death. The rest of the Shadow Tigers quickly dragged down his body, and the Shadow Tigers began to sneak around, assassinating the enemy soldiers.

Suddenly, a team of patrols came over, and Dong Pingxin said: I have to open the city gate quickly and let the lord in. Dong Ping sneaked all the way to the gate sergeant, and he and several Shadow Tiger Army cleanly eliminated a few people.

Dong Ping was just about to open the city gate, but saw a crossbow arrow shoot dead a member of the Shadow Tiger Army, and then a man in black jumped down from the top of the city tower, and he fought with Dong Ping with a short dagger.

Dong Ping and several Shadow Tiger Armies went together, wanting to quickly kill this uninvited guest, but they didn't expect that the strength of the other party was far beyond their imagination. The man in black quickly killed several members of the Shadow Tiger Army, and went straight to Dong Ping, Dong Ping's guns shook and rushed towards him.

Dong Ping was seriously injured by the man in black with a dagger, but the sound of the fight alarmed the defenders in the city, and a large number of Cao soldiers poured onto the city wall, and Dong Ping hurriedly retreated. But Dong Ping was already seriously injured, and it was really difficult to escape, but he saw that the man in black left quickly like a ghost and disappeared into the night.

Dong Ping was soon surrounded by a large number of Cao soldiers, and he couldn't rush out even if he clashed left and right. Dong Ping fought desperately with injuries, but he couldn't stand the large number of Cao soldiers, and the Shadow Tiger Army began to cover Dong Ping's retreat from the city wall.

Han Xuanwang under the city saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked Chen Wu and Ling Tong to lead the army forward to respond. Chen Wu took the lead in climbing the city wall and blocked the Le Jinjun who came to the rescue.

For a while, the city was in chaos, Dong Ping was wounded by several gunshot wounds, and seeing the blood flowing all over the ground, the Shadow Tiger Army that protected him from retreating fell one after another.

Just when they were caught in the encirclement, a young general led a group of athletes to rush over, he waved his double swords like the wind and rushed into the siege of Cao's army, and shouted at Dong Ping: "General Dong Ping, don't panic, Ling Tong is here!" ”

Ling Tong's sergeant rushed in fearlessly, leaving behind the corpses of the enemy, Ling Tong hacked an enemy soldier to death, came to Dong Ping's side to help him, and retreated to the city under the cover of his subordinates.

Chen Wu couldn't resist it over there, the resistance of Cao's army was very fierce, and it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me at night, so Han Xuan ordered the withdrawal of the army.

The failure of this night attack also caused Dong Ping to be seriously injured, Han Xuan felt ashamed, and came to visit Dong Ping with Ling Tong and Chen Wu. Han Xuan saw that Dong Ping's face suddenly became better, Han Xuan helped Dong Ping up and said with tears in his eyes: "Dong Ping, it's all my fault." You were so badly injured this time. ”

Dong Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Where did the lord say?" Since the day Dong Ping followed the lord, he was always ready to die for the lord. I personally led the Shadow Tiger Army to attack the city this time, but I failed to succeed, which is really insulting to the name of the Shadow Tiger Army! ”

"Nope! You're all good. How many arduous tasks have the Shadow Tiger Army completed for my Jiangdong, I know best in my heart! Han Xuan held Dong Ping's hand and comforted.

Dong Ping regretted: "When Yang Xiong and I followed the lord, we often hated that our martial arts were not good and we couldn't protect the lord. Although there are countless elite soldiers and fierce generals around the lord today, he has fought many battles outside. I was given Yang Xiong's last wish and tried my best to assist the lord, but today's deadline is approaching. All I can do now is to entrust the Shadow Tiger Army to a loyal and brave man, and let him lead the Shadow Tiger Army to continue to protect and serve the Lord. ”

Dong Ping's voice became sluggish as he spoke, and he returned to the light just now. Dong Ping looked at Ling Tong, the performance of this young general was deeply concerned by Dong Ping, and he was a person who could entrust big things.

Han Xuan asked Ling Tong to step forward, and after listening to Dong Ping's instructions, Dong Ping said slowly: "Ling Tong, the Shadow Tiger Army is an elite soldier trained by me and absolutely loyal to the lord. It's a pity that I can't accompany my lord on the road ahead...... I see you as a loyal and brave person, and now I will pass on the position of Captain of the Shadow Tiger Army to you, and I hope that you can continue to make meritorious contributions to the Lord in place of me, and swear to defend the glory of the Shadow Tiger Army......"

"General Dong Ping, don't worry. I, Ling Tong, will never live up to your entrustment! I will definitely lead the Shadow Tiger Army and smear the liver and brain of the Lord and the Lord! Ling Tong replied with tears in his eyes.

"That'...... That's good. Dong Ping smiled with relief, and then slowly closed his eyes.

"Brother Yang, I'm looking for you......"

"Nope! Dong Ping! Woo woo woo ...... "Han Xuan threw himself on Dong Ping's corpse and cried bitterly, his other loyal guard, a good big brother, said goodbye to him forever.

Han Xuan was in a very sad mood, Chen Wu and Ling Tong were also very sad, Ling Tong bowed to the ground and said: "The last general, Ling Tong, will inherit the will of General Dong and go to the soup for the hegemony of Jiangdong!" ”

Han Xuan wiped his tears, looked at Ling Tong and said, "Ling Tong, I will make you the captain of Fenwei, take over the post of commander of Dong Ping's Shadow Tiger Army, and command a thousand soldiers of the Shadow Tiger Army under my account. The exploits of the Shadow Tiger Army cannot be forgotten, and from today onwards, the Shadow Tiger Army will add an army of 'Tiger Warriors', which will appear in front of the army, responsible for supervising the war, breaking off the rear and other important tasks! ”

Han Xuanjun had given the order, and passed the talisman of the Shadow Tiger Army to Ling Tong, asking him to rectify the Shadow Tiger Army. Han Xuan estimated that Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai's progress should be about the same, so he asked Chen Wu and Gan Ning to step up their attack on Hefei City.

After attacking for two days, Li Dian and Le Jin desperately resisted, but the Jiangdong Army still failed to capture Hefei. Han Xuan's army had catapults and bed crossbows, and Cao Jun's army also had trebuchets and strong bows and crossbows, and it was impossible to bargain for a strong attack.

Fortunately, Ling Tong led hundreds of tiger warriors to supervise the battle, and the army bravely advanced to attack the city, and there were almost no deserters.

Seeing that Hefei City was about to be breached, that night, a group of uninvited guests came to Han Xuan's military camp. Han Xuan asked Chen Wu and Gan Ning to rest well, and continued to lead the army to attack the city tomorrow, and Han Xuan also rested early.

At night, a figure suddenly flashed outside Han Xuan's tent, and Han Xuan's close supervisor Gu Li noticed this trace of murderous aura, but still pretended to sleep. The figure slashed through Han Xuan's tent with a dagger and got in.

He raised his dagger and prepared to assassinate Han Xuan, who was sleeping soundly, but suddenly shouted outside the tent: "Lord, wake up quickly!" There are assassins! ”

The assassin was shocked, and hurriedly raised the dagger forward, and Han Xuan had already woken up, and pulled out the sword at the head of the bed to "slay the dragon" to resist the dagger stabbed by the assassin.

Gu Li then shouted at Chen Wu and Gan Ning's tent to catch the assassins, and Chen Wu, Gan Ning and the others woke up from their sleep and hurriedly picked up their weapons and rushed over. The patrol soldiers also surrounded Han Xuan's tent.

Han Xuan raised his dragon sword and fought with the assassin for a few moves, and immediately retreated to Gu Li's side, Gu Li swung his sword and attacked the assassin with Han Xuan. Unexpectedly, this person has good martial arts skills and easily blocked the attack of the two.

Han Xuan saw the assassin clearly by the light of the fire, although he covered his face, but the dagger that flashed red Han Xuan would not forget that he was one of the two black-clothed leaders that Han Xuan and Liu Du met on the way.

Han Xuan glared at him angrily and asked, "Is it you?" You Heavenly Tribulation Gate has repeatedly sent people to assassinate me, and I have long wanted to eradicate you. How dare you assassinate my army today! I will make you come and go! ”

At this time, a large group of soldiers rushed over and surrounded the man in black, although he was strong in martial arts, Han Xuan did not believe that he could get out of the thousands of troops. Moreover, Chen Wu and Gan Ning and other generals have already rushed here.

With every swing of the dagger in the black-clothed man's hand, his figure approached a Jiangdong soldier at an extremely fast speed, and the soldiers surrounding him couldn't hold him at all. Even if he could be dragged to death like this, Han Xuan would definitely lose a lot of elite soldiers.

The man in black swung a dagger that flashed red and just stabbed a Jiangdong soldier to death, when a strong wind blew behind him, and a long halberd was stabbed horizontally. The man in black sensed the attacking killing intent, and hurriedly retreated more than ten steps, distancing himself from the comer.

"Chen Wu, you're finally here! This person is an assassin of the Heavenly Tribulation Gate, and he should not be underestimated! Han Xuan said to Chen Wu.
