Chapter 40βThe Breaking of the City
At the third watch in the middle of the night, there was silence in the city of Wancheng, and Yuan Yin, who was temporarily living in the county government, was sleeping peacefully with two maids at the moment, not realizing that his life had entered the countdown.

On the city wall, only a few soldiers were still on guard.
In the woods not far outside the city, there was a sudden sound of rustling, and a number of figures jumped out of it.
Through the dense foliage gap in the forest, Sun Ce looked at Wancheng not far away, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
For Wancheng, he is determined to win!
"Gong Jin, it seems that the other party is really defenseless!"
Hearing Sun Ce's words, Zhou Yu also squinted his eyes, looked at the sparse firelight on the wall of Anhui City not far away, and nodded: "After all, it's just a lost dog, and having a stable nest is to forget the previous fears!" β
"If you don't take this city, I'm really sorry to heaven!"
Sun Ce heard what Zhou Yu said, looked at Wancheng not far away, was about to move, raised his right hand slightly, and said coldly: "Yuan Shu is already dead, and they should also withdraw from the stage of hegemony!" β
"After tonight, I want this Anhui city to plant the flag of my Sun family!"
Along with the words, Sun Ce's raised right hand fell, and the soldiers who followed behind saw Sun Ce's right hand waved, and immediately divided a group of men and horses, taking advantage of the night to go towards the city wall.
Coming to the city wall in the dark, Sun Ben, who was the commander of this team of soldiers, glanced at the soldiers beside him and nodded.
After the soldier saw Sun Ben's signal, he took out the hook and rope on his back.
"The movements are light, don't let the other party find out, after taking the city wall, immediately send out a team of people to open the city gate and welcome the lord into the city!"
Hearing Sun Ben's soft whisper, the soldiers also replied softly.
After tossing the hook in his hand a few times, he let go and threw it towards the wall.
With a "snap", the hook on the hook rope firmly hooked the city wall.
The soldier pulled the rope attached to the iron hook with all his might, and after making sure that it was safe, he began to climb the city wall with the help of the rope.
Although the sound of the hook and rope hooking the wall was soft, it was still very noticeable in the silence of the night.
The guards on the city wall frowned at the sudden noise, and they all looked at each other.
"What was that sound just now?"
"I don't know! Maybe someone kicked down the weapon next to him when he was sleeping against the castle tower! β
"I've always felt a little uneasy, do you think there will be ghosts!"
"Impossible!"
"Alas, I say to you, don't believe you! Think about it, when the little overlord of Jiangdong attacked Lujiang, how many people died here! Almost all the soldiers who defended the city were dead! β
"You...... Don't talk about it, it's scary to say it! β
Just when the guards of the city were talking about it, Sun Ben had already led his soldiers to climb the city wall and jumped directly into the crowd with his sword.
The soldiers guarding the city looked at Sun Ben and his party who suddenly appeared, and thought of the ghost mentioned by the immoral thing that he didn't know just now, and immediately shouted loudly: "Ghost! β
After a shout, many of the guards turned and fled.
Only a few people raised their guns and shouted, "That's an enemy attack!" Hurry back and fight the enemy! β
Although the shouts were loud, there were very few people who echoed them.
Sun Ben looked at the guards of the city who were surrounded by his group, touched his chin with his right hand, and sneered: "Ghost? It's okay, since everyone thinks it's a ghost, then let's be a ghost! β
"All of them, kill me!"
With Sun Ben's order, his soldiers rushed towards the city guards.
The soldiers who were surrounded by the city guard saw the other party fighting, although they were cowardly, but for the sake of their own lives, they also roared angrily and resisted desperately.
For a while, Sun Ben's soldiers couldn't help the other party's guards guarding the city.
But after all, the two sides were not equal in numbers, and soon the defenders began to have casualties.
Sun Ce, who was located in the woods outside the city, saw the battle on the city wall, and his brows couldn't help frowning: "Oh no, it was discovered!" β
"All of them, get on the horse and go to Anhui City!"
"Kill!"
With an order, Sun Ce got on his horse and rushed out with an ancient ingot knife.
When his soldiers saw that their master was taking the lead, they couldn't help howling, and rushed out immediately after.
The original sneak attack turned into a siege battle, but fortunately, there were no counterattacking guards on the city wall at this time, and the army led by Sun Ce soon came to the city gate.
Seeing that there were still hooks and ropes hanging on the city walls on both sides, Sun Ce immediately ordered: "General Han Lao and General Cheng Lao, you lead two teams of soldiers to climb the city wall along the hook rope to help Sun Ben solve the defenders on the city wall and open the city gate!" β
"The speed must be fast, and the defenders in the city must not be given time to react!"
Han Dang and Cheng Pu immediately clasped their fists and saluted when they heard Sun Ce's order, and then they led two teams of men and horses to climb the city wall.
After all, the commotion on the city wall attracted the attention of the defenders in the city, and they all ran towards the city gate in armor, and at the same time sent a part of the people to the county government to report to Yuan Yin.
Yuan Yin, who was asleep, suddenly heard the sound of commotion outside the room, and immediately woke up from his sleep and shouted outside the door: "What's the alarm!" β
As soon as the words fell, one of Yuan Yin's personal soldiers ran in in embarrassment, and hurriedly shouted at Yuan Yin: "Lord...... Sun Ce is coming! β
"At this moment, the city gate is almost unbearable!"
Hearing the return of his own soldiers, Yuan Yin was instantly frightened into a cold sweat and exclaimed: "What! You said that the little overlord of Jiangdong is attacking the city? β
"What can I do?"
After hearing Yuan Yin's words, the soldiers hurriedly spoke: "Lord, let's escape!" β
"Run?" After listening to the words of his own soldiers, Yuan Yin muttered for a while, and nodded, "That's right, if you can't beat it, you have to escape!" β
"Hurry up and have someone scrape up their valuables and pack them away!"
After listening to Yuan Yin's words, the soldiers looked at each other, and secretly thought to themselves: "My mother-in-law, when is it, and I still want to run away with the money, the little overlord of Jiangdong is outside the city, I don't know when the city will be broken and attacked." At that point, even if you have more money, it will be useless! β
"Lord, now that Sun Ce is outside the city, what money do you need, if you don't run, you will lose your life!"
Yuan Yin listened to the words of his own soldiers, and he also woke up suddenly, and he was afraid for a while: "Yes, yes, yes!" Don't want anything, it's real to run quickly! β
Ignoring the two lovely maids beside him, Yuan Yin put on his clothes in a panic, picked up the sword hanging on the side, and ran out, disappearing in an instant......
