Chapter 377: The Door Opens Wide
When the sergeants outside the city saw that there was no movement on the city wall, they shouted again: "Hurry up and open the city gate, if General Chen comes back and is blocked from the city, won't he be attacked by the enemy?" ”
After hearing this, the guards on the city wall nodded, and said to Li Ji beside him: "My lord, the brothers below are right, if they are blocked from the city, if General Chen Ji comes back and cannot withdraw from the city for a while, wouldn't it be allowed to be slaughtered by Zhao Qian?" ”
The power of Zhao Qian's army, they have seen it, although they have not captured the city several times, but the combat effectiveness shown is amazing.
These soldiers defending the city may not be very good at fighting, but they are also veterans who have been in the army for many years, and they still have eyesight.
Compared with Zhao Qian's army, they were strong and weak, and they had already known in their hearts.
If they relied on the city wall, they still had some confidence to resist Zhao Qian's attack, and if they didn't have the city wall as a support, they could only surrender in the face of Zhao Qian's army.
If Chen Ji came back and didn't catch up with Zhao Qian's pursuers before entering the city, it would be really unlucky.
Li Ji also frowned, and he deeply felt that his so-called "intelligence" was a little insufficient at this time.
Leaning over to look at the team under the city, and looking at the darkness around him, Li Ji said to the guards beside him, "Look at how many people are down there?" ”
The guard leaned down and looked down, and after a moment, said to Li Ji, "My lord, there are about two hundred people down there, and dozens of grain carts. ”
"Two hundred? It's not a lot, and it shouldn't be able to turn over many waves. Li Ji thought to himself.
After thinking about it for a moment again, Li Ji said to the guards with the mentality of "not seeking merit, but seeking no fault": "Go and open the city gate, let them in, don't block General Chen's way back to the city." ”
"Order!"
With Li Ji's permission, the guards hurriedly walked down from the city wall, came to the city gate, and ordered the gate guards to open the city gate.
The sergeants who were carrying the grain glanced at each other, and the man at the head hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Thank you, brother, General Chen will be here soon." ”
The guard looked at the darkness in the distance and urged, "Don't ink, hurry up, don't block General Chen's path for a while!" ”
"What my brother said is, go quickly and go into the city!"
Nearly 200 sergeants behind him pushed the "grain cart" to the city of Cai, and as soon as they entered the city, they heard shouts in the distance.
"Close the gates!" The guard was startled and quickly ordered.
The leader who transported the grain before immediately stopped him and said, "Don't close the city gate, I'm afraid General Chen has returned." ”
The guard was stunned for a moment, and he was also hesitant in his heart, and looked outside the city gate, wanting to confirm whether it was Chen Ji or not.
It didn't take long for the situation in the distance to be seen clearly, but the guard's face suddenly changed, because what he saw was not Chen Ji at all.
That is the first person, the guard is recognized, it is Zhang Fei, the general under Zhao Qian's account, when he defends the city, he is a master who does not want to die!
"Close the gates, close the gates...... Yes! ”
Before the guard could finish shouting, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and when he looked down, he saw that a spear had pierced into his body.
"You!" The guard looked incredulously at the sergeant who had rhymed with the grain cart earlier.
The sergeant paid no attention to him, drew his spear, and cried out, "Brothers, take down the gates and welcome the general into the city." ”
There were more than 100 sergeants guarding the gate, and the incident happened suddenly, and they were no match for those people at all, and soon the city gate fell under the control of the grain team.
Subsequently, Zhang Fei took the lead and led the army into the city.
Li Ji on the city wall also saw that the team coming was not Chen Ji, but Zhang Fei, and shouted: "Quick, go and block the enemy army, go quickly!" ”
Just when Li Ji was anxiously shouting, Zhang Fei had already led his army to the city wall and killed Li Ji directly!
Where could Li Ji escape Zhang Fei's pursuit, and after a while, a human head flew down from the city wall, and the staff officer of the army went to accompany Chen Ji.
The battle didn't last long, after all, as soon as Chen Ji and Li Ji died, these sergeants had no intention of resisting at all.
After arranging the surrendered sergeants, Zhao Qian took Shang Cai down.
Now that Shangcai, Ruyang, and Chenjun have been breached, the door of Huaiyang Yuan Shu is wide open, and Zhao Qian has no worries about being cut off, it is time to join Xu Chu and Tai Shici and take Runan.
