Chapter 161: Chaos in the City

"Stomp, stomp!"

"Captain, it's not good, Ding Wei, the captain of the North Gate, has rebelled, he is besieging the Heavenly King's Mansion with his men and horses, and the brothers in the palace have sent urgent news and asked for support!"

In the camp of the army of South Gate City, a herald hurriedly rushed into the tent of the commander and said to Geng Chengwu, the captain of the South Gate who had just been slightly drunk.

With Wang Ying leading his troops to leave, the four captains in the entire Bailu City had the greatest power, each leading a division of soldiers and horses to garrison the four gates.

Among the four gates, Geng Chengwu, the captain of the south gate, is the strongest, with 2,500 people under his command, and Ding Wei, the captain of the north gate, Wu Fan, the captain of the west gate, and Chen Shuai, the captain of the east gate, all have only 1,000 people under their command.

"What? When did it happen? What about Wu Fan and Chen Shuai? ”

Geng Chengwu instantly woke up from a slightly drunk state when he heard this, and shouted to the herald soldiers.

"Back to the school captain, the battle in the Heavenly King's Mansion has just started less than a quarter of an hour, Ding Wei is leading hundreds of soldiers to storm the Heavenly King's Mansion, the brothers in the palace are almost unbearable, there is not the slightest movement in the east gate and the west gate, I am afraid they have not received the news yet!" The sweaty herald said.

"Didn't hear anything? How is it possible, Wu Fan and Chen Shuai, these two damn guys! ”

When Geng Chengwu came to the outside of the camp, he could hear the shouting and killing from the direction of the city from a distance, and he gritted his teeth as he watched the flames rush to the Heavenly Palace.

Bailu City is built from south to north, the south gate and the north gate are at both ends, the distance from the Tianwang Mansion in the center of the city is the farthest, the west gate and the east gate are the closest to the Tianwang Mansion, and now he is located at the south gate He has received the news, how could Wu Fan and Chen Shuai of the east and west gates not receive the news, obviously the two are unwilling to act easily when the state is unknown.

Geng Chengwu also understood a little bit about the thoughts of the two, both of them were old men of Liangshanjun, and they had been in the position of captain at the beginning of Xue Ju's ascension. After Xue Ju took the throne, although he openly sealed the two of them as captains of the city gate of Bailu City to show his trust, he was not a confidant after all, and Xue Ju had always been a little wary of them, but he had not had time to deal with them yet.

Now that Ding Wei is suddenly in trouble, the attitudes of Wu Fan and Chen Shuai have become ambiguous, I am afraid that the two of them have not established the idea of condescending from the dragon in their hearts.

Ding Wei's rebellion must be suppressed as soon as possible, otherwise Bailu City will be in danger!

"Gather soldiers and horses, and follow me to suppress Ding Wei's rebellion!"

Geng Chengwu, who figured out the trick, immediately gathered his troops and led the army to the direction of the Heavenly King's Mansion to prepare to quell the chaos.

"Quick! Fast! ”

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Woohoo!"

"Ahh

Geng Chengwu led 2,000 men and horses to quickly rush to the direction of the Heavenly King's Mansion, and came to the street less than 200 meters away from the Heavenly King's Mansion.

"Kill!"

At the same time, a group of men suddenly appeared from the shadows on both sides of the street, firmly occupying the street.

These horses are the ambush soldiers arranged here by Ding Wei in advance, once the battle in the Heavenly King's Mansion starts, the entire Bailu City will inevitably be alarmed, and these ambushes are used to block and delay the pace of Geng Chengwu's army.

"Pay attention to concealment, sword and shield hands on top!"

Under the sudden attack, the unsuspecting Geng Chengwu soldiers suffered a lot of injuries, Geng Chengwu hurriedly commanded the soldiers to hide in the alley, and at the same time ordered the sword and shield soldiers holding iron shields in the rear to step forward.

"Bell, bell!"

The sharp arrows made a crisp sound on the iron shield, and a group of sword and shield men formed a formation under the cover of the iron shield and slowly attacked Ding Wei's army in ambush in front.

The two teams fought fiercely in the dark, narrow streets, and they could not hold each other. Taking advantage of the geographical advantage of taking the lead, Geng Chengwu personally led the team forward several times but failed to break through the defensive line.

For a time, there was a stalemate on the battlefield.

"Kill! Annihilate the traitors, don't run away! ”

Just when the two armies were at a stalemate, there was a sudden burst of dense footsteps and shouts from the direction of Ximen, and under the dazzling firelight, Wu Fan, the captain of Ximen, led 1,000 soldiers to arrive, divided into two parts, one went to support Chao Gai's mansion, and the other part came from killing, and attacked Ding Weijun who was responsible for blocking it with Geng Chengwu's army.

"Ahh

"Ahh

Under the two-phase attack, the casualties of Ding Weijun's army who blocked the attack increased sharply, and the defense line was soon broken through by Geng Chengwu's troops.

On the city wall of the East Gate, Chen Shuai, the captain of the East Gate, stood on the city tower surrounded by several junior colonels in the army, watching the battle in the direction of the Heavenly King's Mansion.

"Big brother, Wu Fan also did it, Ding Wei and they can't make it, let's do it too, it's too late!"

Beside Chen Shuai, a military junior colonel was dressed as a junior colonel, and Chen Shuai's sworn brother Luo Zhi couldn't help but turn around and urge him.

After Wu Fanjun joined, the situation on the battlefield changed instantly, and the originally stalemate Chaofu and the street blocking battle line quickly collapsed, and began to retreat under the combined attack of the two forces.

"What a panic! Ding Wei has always been cautious, and this time he took advantage of the emptiness in the city to suddenly attack, presumably he was completely prepared, and there must be a follow-up move. Now Geng Chengwu and Wu Fan have the advantage in their current situation, but they may not be able to fight Ding Wei, it is really unwise to attack rashly, but they just help Geng Chengwu and them in vain! ”

Looking at the battlefield in the distance, Chen Shuai shook his head and vetoed, and when he talked about Ding Wei, a look of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

As an old comrade-in-arms who was born and died together, Chen Shuai is very clear about Ding Wei's ability, and he is definitely the leader in the Liangshan Army, but he has not been reused in the Liangshan Army.

"But, what if King Chao Tianwang is allowed to run away and General Xue is to blame?"

Luo Zhi hesitated a little in his heart, hesitated slightly, and couldn't help but ask Chen Shuai out loud.

"Xue Ju was not in the right position, and many generals in the army were not satisfied with it, if it wasn't for the name of the Heavenly King, how could he order the army. Now, if the Chao Heavenly King escapes, with the appeal of the Heavenly King, there will inevitably be many followers in the army, and when the time comes, he will still have the spirit and energy to deal with us, and it will be too late to win us over! ”

Chen Shuai was not worried about this, frowned when he heard this, vetoed Luo Zhi's worries, and continued:

"As the saying goes, immortals fight, mortals suffer, Chao Gai and Xue Ju fight, we can't please it if we participate in the live now, it's better to change the landscape, and don't move! When they're all about the same, it's not too late for us to come out and clean up the mess! ”

Chen Shuai said it well, for him, a small captain of the Liangshan Army who led only a thousand soldiers, whether it was Chao Gai or Xue Ju, it was not something they could shake.

"Kill!"

"Ahh

"Captain, no, they came to Ximen and wanted to leave the city, and several soldiers in the army have been killed!"

Chen Shuai's idea was good, but unfortunately, before his plan to reap the benefits of the fisherman was fully implemented, the melee between Ding Weijun and Geng Chengwu's troops in the city had spread to the west gate, and the soldiers on both sides who had already killed the red-eyed soldiers did not care whether the soldiers guarding under Chen Shuai were enemy soldiers or not, and killed people directly when they saw them, and cut and wounded several Chen Shuaijun who were caught off guard.

"Bastard! Kill me! ”

Chen Shuai's face sank suddenly, and he secretly hated Ding Wei and Geng Chengwu who caused the war to his body, so he had to give up his plan and decisively start an attack on Ding Weijun.

"Lord Captain, the Heavenly King has arrived in a safe place, you can withdraw!"

Just when Ding Wei led the troops to support him, the Song Dynasty, who had gone and returned, came to his side and whispered a message to him.

"Withdraw!"

Ding Wei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately perked up and began to break through with the remaining hundreds of people.

"Chase! Don't run away from the thief! ”

Chen Shuai, Geng Chengwu and others in the rear were naturally unwilling to give up after making a move, and pursued Ding Weijun on the streets.

It was night, and the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the entire Bailu City was in chaos under the melee of the four captains.
