Chapter Twenty-Four: Earning the City Gate

"Crackling!"

By that time, the night was already dark, and Chen Shizhen, which was shaken by the news that the Ainengqi army had been defeated and the Yangwu army had once again been chased, had fallen into a deep silence, and only the crisp sound of the bonfire that lit up the entire city could be heard.

The Yangwu army that followed did not attack Chen Shizhen, which made the nervous and apprehensive many generals and people quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Pedal Pedal ~"

At the south gate of the silent Chen Shi Town, a crisp footsteps suddenly sounded on the street, and a group of dozens of soldiers in armor walked towards the city gate with jars in their hands.

"Master Jiang, it's so late, where are you going?"

The leader of the leading squad who was in charge of guarding the city gate tonight looked at Jiang Yu and his party who came in front of him, and hurriedly got up and said politely.

The Lord Jiang in front of him is now a red man, not only did he perform well in the previous battle of Changshuiqiao Town, but also successfully covered the main father-in-law Ainengqi's brother-in-law Du De to escape back to Chen Shi Town, and now he has been promoted to a small colonel who leads 500 soldiers, which can already be regarded as a big man for a squad leader like them who is responsible for guarding the door.

"Haha, I also saw that the brothers worked so hard at night, so I specially ordered the people below to go to the Piaoxiang Pavilion to buy some fine wine and good food, add more food for everyone, and treat everyone!"

Jiang Yu waved his hand indifferently at the team leader who greeted him warmly, and as he spoke, he directly commanded the dozens of soldiers behind him to bring up the good wine and food they were holding in their hands and arrange them in an open space in front of the city gate.

"Come, come, come, brothers, come and taste it!"

After seeing his subordinates set the meal, Jiang Yu hurriedly greeted the dozens of soldiers who were still standing at their posts in front of the city gate with a bold and enthusiastic face.

"Master Jiang! Well, that's not good! ”

Looking at the hot food and wine not far from his feet, the leader of the team couldn't help but swallow his saliva and hesitated.

During this time, since Jiang Yu followed Du De back to Chen Shi Town, his reputation for being bold and generous had already spread among some low-ranking officers in Chen Shi Town, and from time to time he would pay out of his own pocket to invite some brothers in the army to dinner.

Although this move was denounced by some upper-level officers as an inferior means to win the hearts and minds of the people, it also won the favor of many lower-level officers and soldiers.

And the good wine and food brought by Jiang Yu in front of him were all bought from Piaoxiang Pavilion, so I'm afraid it would cost a few taels of silver to make it.

"What's so bad about that! In this way, I will let my brothers help you watch first, otherwise I will not call them all, you eat first, and when you are full, you will have the strength to work, go, go, go, tell you, I am the most annoying to be polite to me."

Hearing this, Jiang Yu pushed the squad leader impatiently, and as he spoke, he also commanded his men to take over the soldiers who were still standing guard.

"Then, thank you for your kindness! Brothers, thank you, Lord Jiang! ”

Asking about the smell of wine and food in the air, the leader of the leading squad couldn't help but be moved, and after repeated excuses, he was no longer polite, and began to greet the brothers below.

"Thank you, Master Jiang!"

Seeing this, these guards couldn't bear it, and they couldn't help but bow to Jiang Yu and then hugged each other, scrambling to eat, and the soldiers who came with Jiang Yu naturally took over the task of standing guard.

"Uh-huh, yes, delicious!"

While eating, everyone couldn't help but applaud.

The winter night is already cold, and it is too happy for a group of soldiers to be able to eat a meal of good wine and food in the Piaoxiang Pavilion on a cold day.

"You eat first, and I'll go up and bring them something to eat!"

Looking at the group of soldiers defending the city who were gobbling up, Jiang Yu showed a smile in his eyes, shouted at them, and after speaking, he took some of the soldiers behind him to the city tower again.

"Okay, Master Jiang, go ahead!"

However, at this time, the people who were eating and drinking could no longer care about him, only the leader of the leading squad signaled to him.

After a while, the soldiers at the city gate ate the wine and food brought by Jiang Yu, and began to squat in the corner of the wall to rest contentedly.

However, when they all squatted in the corner, they suddenly felt that their upper and lower eyelids began to fight, and an irrepressible strong sleepiness quickly struck, and they fell asleep in the corner.

Not long after they fell asleep, Jiang Yu, who had been at the city gate for a while, came downstairs, and the soldiers who had followed him before were all gone.

"Quick, get them all out of the way!"

After going downstairs, Jiang Yu looked at the people who were sleeping deeply, and hurriedly whispered to his subordinates who had taken over the task of guarding the city gate.

"Yes!"

These soldiers of the Ainengqi Army, dressed as Jinyi Guards, immediately received the order and quickly lifted these sleeping soldiers and defenders away.

At this time, after eating and drinking the meal specially prepared for them by Jiang Yu, the hundreds of night vigil soldiers at the south gate of the entire Chen Shi Town were all fascinated by the sweat medicine, and the control of the city gate had fallen into the hands of these Jinyi guards who had mixed in disguise.

It was for this moment that Jiang Yu, who returned to Chen Shizhen with Du De early, deliberately established the impression of being bold and rich in the army, in order to reduce the guardiness of these generals.

"My lord! It's all done! ”

After all the soldiers defending the city were lifted away and hidden, Jiang Yu quickly walked to a room on the corner of the street not far away, and reported to Sima Yu with a respectful face.

In the courtyard of the house, Wu Song, Yue Xi and other brocade guards had already gathered there, and Wang Yue and Xiong Kuohai also followed closely by Sima Yu's side.

"Action!"

Sima Yu's expression did not change when he heard this, and he ordered directly.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, a group of people quickly came out of the house, and quickly lurked along the street to the south gate under the cover of shadows.

"Crunch~"

With a slight creak, the heavy gates slowly opened.

"Quick! Fast! Fast! ”

Not long after the city gate was opened, a group of Yangwu soldiers who had been lurking here for a long time were welcomed in, and quickly began to line up at the city gate to defend.

"What's going on? Enemy attack! ”

Here, Sima Yu and the others had just welcomed a group of Yangwu soldiers lurking outside the city into the city, and before they had time to act, a city guard soldier leading the colonel on a section of the city wall not far from the south city gate was awakened by the sound of the city gate opening, and the Yangwu soldiers who were constantly entering the city from the city wall shouted.

"Bell Bell Bell ~"

Alarm bells quickly rang throughout the night sky.

"Shoot the arrows!"

At the city gate, Sima Yu's face suddenly changed when he saw this, and he hurriedly ordered the Jinyi guard beside him.

"Yes!"

"Huh~"

"Bang!"

Soon, in the loud sound of breaking the air, an arrow quickly broke through the air and bloomed into a dazzling spark in the air at a height of tens of meters.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

。。。。。。

The sudden sound of the alarm bell quickly woke up the sleeping soldiers defending the city, and they began to kill Sima Yu and the others who had opened and occupied the south city gate under the command of their respective generals.

"Kill!"

A group of soldiers who were patrolling nearby also quickly assembled, and under the leadership of the general, they took the lead and began to attack the Jinyi guards guarding the southern city gate.

"Crossbow bolts! Put! ”

Looking at the team of hundreds of patrol soldiers who quickly arrived, Sima Yu's face remained unchanged, and he calmly ordered.

The hundreds of brocade guards behind him quickly received the order, picked up their short crossbows pinned to their waists, and began to shoot at the onrushing patrol soldiers.

"Huh~"

"Huh~"

"Ah~"

"Ah~"

In the dense sound of crossbow arrows, a series of screams immediately rang out, and dozens of unsuspecting patrol soldiers were killed by the penetrating crossbow arrows at once.

"Withdraw!"

However, in a round of attacks, before they got close to the enemy, nearly half of the soldiers around them had been lost, and the colonel who led the troops was immediately frightened, and hurriedly ordered, preparing to retreat first, and then attack after the reinforcements arrived.

Unfortunately, the idea of the leading colonel had not yet had time to be implemented, and the patrol soldiers, who had just turned around for more than ten steps, ushered in a wave of crossbow arrows again, and dozens of escaped soldiers were once again buried under the rain of crossbow arrows.

Two rounds of crossbow arrows were fired, and a patrol of hundreds of Chen Shizhen soldiers was defeated, and only a dozen people fled.

"Hiss~"

The powerful attack power of the Jinyi Guards immediately caused the other Chen Shizhen defenders who had come from the surrounding city walls and streets to gasp, and their progress was also stagnant.

"Kill!"

"Huh~"

And it was at this pause that the Jinyi guard soldiers behind Sima Yu completed the loading of crossbow arrows again and shot towards the enemy who was killing again.

This time, the larger number of defender soldiers were no longer intimidated by the rain of crossbow arrows, and went straight to Sima Yu's side to kill them.

A round of crossbow arrows came down, and there was no time for these brocade guards to reload the arrows, and they all took out the broadswords in their hands to prepare for melee combat.

"Kill!"

Sima Yu in the formation did not back down, took the lead, and led Wu Song, Yue Xi, Wang Yue, Xiong Kuohai and others behind him to meet the enemy army that was coming.

"Ah~"

The group plus Sima Yu himself had a total of 4 Great Refining God Realm generals and 1 peak Qi Cultivation general, and this combination of powerful generals instantly exerted their power in the enemy's military formation.

In the Chinese army, Sima Yu danced with an armor-piercing gun in his hand, constantly attacking the defenders of Chen Shizhen in front, and Wu Song and Wang Yue followed closely beside him, constantly solving his worries on both sides and killing the approaching enemy soldiers.

Yue Xi and Xiong Kuohai were one holding two mountain axes, one holding a halberd, one on the left and one on the right, like a tiger on the loose, constantly cutting through the enemy formation, killing a steady stream of enemy soldiers.
