Chapter 359: Battle Like the Wind
Along the entire river, the White Emperor City is recognized as one of the most important towns, and the soldiers and horses guarding the White Emperor City are more than the defenders of the three counties combined, and more importantly, Dai Cai, who guards the White Emperor City, is also a person with outstanding ability known to the surrounding counties.
And now that the White Emperor City has been breached, only a few people are left who escaped because they were not in the city, which means that Dai Cai and the rest of the defenders must be more than lucky.
And to be able to take down the White Emperor City before Dai Cai even had time to send a letter for help, and even bring Dai Cai and the army in the city to a mess, how many enemies should there be?
Nan Chen, does Nan Chen really want to do something to Bashu? However, Tang Yishun and the others received before clearly wrote that Nan Chen was fighting with the imperial court in Jingzhou, how could he draw so many troops to attack White Emperor City?
Knowing that things could not be neglected, Tang Yishun said anxiously: "Who is the biggest official among you, let him come up to see me!" ”
"Tang Taishou, when is this, don't delay, the enemy may kill Wanchuan at any time!" One of the generals shouted.
"It's the old Fang of White Emperor City, I know him, he was originally from Wanchuan!" A tense general in the city couldn't help but speak, "Old Fang! ”
"You kid too!" The general under the city suddenly shouted in surprise, "Quick, quickly persuade Taishou to open the city gate." ”
And Tang Yishun squinted, he also had an impression of the general under the city, after all, he was familiar with every grass and tree in the city for so many years in Wanchuan, not to mention people, and immediately turned his head and asked: "But that kid from the west of the city?" ”
"yes, we all know him, we can't be wrong!" The rest of the soldiers and generals also nodded, "Taishou, open the city!" ”
One of them even smiled and said: "This surnamed Fang has been timid and fast since he was a child, and now he is really one of the few who run back." ”
Tang Yishun frowned slightly, he always felt that something was wrong, but his attention was now shocked by the news that the White Emperor City had been breached, and the general surnamed Fang would definitely not have a problem, so he didn't have time to think about it, and now the top priority was to understand the situation clearly, and immediately waved his hand:
"Kaesong!"
The soldiers in the city also breathed a sigh of relief, obviously they didn't want to see their brothers trapped in the city like this.
The city gate slowly opened, and Chen Zhishen, who had been leaning on the back of the general surnamed Fang, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, put away the dagger that had been on the back of the general, and said with a smile: "Brother, it's hard work." ”
General Fang was already sweating profusely, and his voice trembled slightly: "No, it's okay." ”
And Chen Zhishen looked at the city gate that had been completely opened in front of him, squinted his eyes, the saber at his waist was unsheathed, and roared loudly: "Fight the city!" ”
"Fight the city!" The rest of the soldiers also shouted loudly, and more than a hundred people immediately started to rush towards the city gate like a tidal wave!
And looking at the army that suddenly accelerated the charge under the city, Tang Yishun and Huang Zhanzhu's faces changed greatly!
"It's not good, it's Chen!" When he saw this suddenly restless army and the red flags erected in the army, Tang Yishun had already come back to his senses, his face turned red, and he roared hoarsely, "Quick, close the city gate!" ”
"Kill!" Chen Zhishen kicked over a soldier in front of him, and the long knife in his hand directly cut the other soldier in two, and blood sprinkled all over his armor, making him look extremely hideous.
The long knife in his hand pointed forward, and Chen Zhishen, who was standing at the gate of the city, was like a bloody devil who came out of the eighteen hells. And countless Nan Chen soldiers roared angrily and rushed into the city, and a mere hundred people ran out of the momentum of thousands of troops.
The yellow lord who rushed down the city gate in a panic with a few guards waved his knife: "Give it to Lao Tzu"
His voice gradually became quieter, because Chen Zhishen slashed the two guards guarding the Yellow Lord's side in an instant, and the knife in his hand landed exactly an inch behind the Yellow Lord's neck. The blood on the knife rolled down the snowy blade and landed on the neck of the Yellow Lord, and it was still a little warm.
Lord Huang couldn't help but shudder, he didn't dare to imagine that if it wasn't his personal guard who rushed forward just now, but himself, then his head was still not on his neck. Just opposite him, Chen Zhishen said coldly:
"Die, or fall?"
There was no other choice, and it seemed that as long as the Yellow Lord hesitated for a moment, the knife would fall directly, no longer giving him a chance to choose.
If it weren't for the fact that there was only one battle lord in this city to lead the army, Chen Zhishen wouldn't even provide the opportunity to choose this one.
Lord Huang only felt bitterness in his mouth, he didn't know how these killing gods came from, but since the kid surnamed Fang had already joined them, it meant that many of the defenders of Baidi City had surrendered, and it didn't matter if he died, the foundation that the Wanchuan Huang family had worked hard for several generations was likely to be ruined.
With a "clang", the knife in his hand fell to the ground, and the yellow lord lowered his head weakly.
And the afterglow of the yellow lord glanced in the direction of the uptown trail, Taishou Tang Yishun was being escorted down the city by several soldiers, although he was a little embarrassed, but his head was still held high.
It's already at this time, and Lord Huang can't care about the life and death of this top boss, or the former top boss, so he can only wish him good luck in his heart.
Chen Zhishen was not surprised by the choice of this battle master, he wiped the blood on the spatula with his sleeve while looking around. The banner of Nanchen was already fluttering at the head of Wanchuan City, and the rest of the defenders also put down their swords and were gathered together, and even one or two Nanchen soldiers guarded hundreds of defenders, which was a bit funny no matter how you looked at it.
However, the newly defeated soldiers simply cannot have the will and courage to resist.
"Tang Taishou?" Chen Zhishen's eyes finally fell on Tang Yishun, who was getting closer and closer, and the only one who could dress up like this was Wanchuan County Taishou.
Squinting his eyes slightly, Tang Yishun said coldly: "Who are you?" ”
Chen Zhishen had also been instructed by Li Xinchen before, and knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Bashu in the future, he would have to get the support of these local families, otherwise he wouldn't care about the few captives in front of him, wouldn't it be nice to kill them with a neat knife?
Therefore, Chen Zhishen was not too rude in front of Tang Yishun, and said loudly: "A certain belongs to General Chen Dangkou, and the forward general Chen Zhishen is also!" ”
Tang Yishun and Huang Zhanzhu's faces changed slightly, they had already determined in their hearts that Nan Chen must have sent troops, and it was a large army, otherwise it would be impossible to take the White Emperor City with lightning speed, but they didn't expect that Nan Chen's main general, or maybe it was the main general of the forward, turned out to be the general Li Xinchen.
If it is said that Li Xinchen's reputation is very loud, it is not known to the whole world, and it is only limited to Nanchen and the surrounding counties bordering Nanchen. And Bashu is adjacent to Jingzhou, Tang Yishun has of course heard of this name, and they also know this young man who is about to become a legend.
That's why they were surprised.
Let Li Xinchen lead the army, does Nan Chen really plan to fight in Bashu?
