The night wind rises, and the swords and soldiers are together.

Hundreds of boats floated quietly on the water, flowing down the Huai River in the dark night.

Yuan Yao and Xu Chu lay on the bow of the boat, crouched down and looked ahead, only to see the sparkling waves on the water, and a tall black shadow could be faintly seen as if it was approaching.

The south end of Yingshui is connected to Huaishui, the north of Shouchun is crossed by Huaishui from east to west, and the east is Huaishui, and it is estimated that the battle of Huangshui in history is here.

As the night deepened and the ship docked, Yuan Yao's heart rose to his throat, and he cautiously jumped off the boat, looking at the city wall not far away and smacking his tongue secretly.

Shouchun is not the earthen city wall of Shen County, just the height of the wall, Yuan Yao is estimated to be eight or nine meters high, if he leads the army to attack, it is estimated that the casualties will be quite terrifying.

"Lord, the army is ready, now we just need to wait and see what happens!" After a while, Liu Ji, who was seasick, came to Yuan Yao's side with Wei Zhongxian's support, took a deep breath, and said slowly.

As early as ten days ago, when the scouts inquired about the news, Liu Ji asked Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao to take hundreds of old and weak women and children from Woniu Mountain into Shouchun City as homeless people.

In less than half an hour, there was movement at the head of the city, a sporadic flame lit up, the drawbridge was slowly lowered, and the city gate opened a thin slit.

"It seems that Zhou Cang has succeeded!" Seeing this, Liu Ji opened his mouth and said.

"Okay, it's worthy of Zhou Cang. The whole army obeys the order and follows me to attack the city! Seeing Zhou Cang's success, Yuan Yao took out the Tai'a sword from his waist and rushed out excitedly.

Yuan Yao made this move, and the five hundred guards led by Xu Chu also rushed to the city gate, although there were only more than five hundred people, but they were full of momentum.

These days of hard practice "Nine Changes of the Hidden Dragon", Yuan Yao has confidence in his skills.

I feel like I'm doing it again!

"Command, attack!" Seeing Gongzi's shouting, Chang Nu led the "commando" to rush up, but he was also frightened, and hurriedly commanded the whole army to press.

"Wei Zhongxian, don't worry about me! Hurry up and order Gong Du's troops to attack the city, you immediately go to catch up with the lord, don't let him have an accident! Liu Ji didn't expect Yuan Yao, who had always been timid, to suddenly break out, and he was a little caught off guard for a while.

Yuan Yao and his party were very fast, and when they ran along the drawbridge to the city gate, they saw Zhou Cang holding a big knife against the gap in the city gate, slashing frantically.

On the opposite side of Zhou Cang were dozens of enemy soldiers, and the sound of fighting could be heard from further down.

"Brothers, follow me in!" With a sword in his hand, Yuan Yao shouted violently, although his voice was slightly immature, but it was full of momentum.

"Lord, let me come!" Xu Chu saw that Yuan Yao still wanted to continue to rush forward, so he hurriedly grabbed Yuan Yao, grabbed the mountain knife in his hand and danced sideways, slashing forward.

The soldiers who were about to besiege Zhou Cang were about to besiege Zhou Cang, but one of them was cut down by Xu Chu in an instant, and let out a terrible scream, and blood spurted out like a column of water.

When these guards heard Yuan Yao call them brothers, they had a strong impression of Yuan Yao for a while, and all the guards voluntarily guarded Yuan Yao in the middle, and rushed forward with Xu Chu to kill.

"My lord! Why did you kiss yourself? Pei Yuanshao is surrounded, right over there! Zhou Cang fought for a while, and when he saw Yuan Yao coming in, he was stunned at first, and then pointed to the side anxiously.

"Kill!" Yuan Yao didn't care much at this time, just pointed at the sword in his hand, shouted, and killed in the direction of Pei Yuanshao.

Due to the large number of people, Yuan Yao and his party quickly rushed through the outer city and killed the inner city gate, and along the way Yuan Yao seized the opportunity to stab an enemy soldier to death.

There wasn't much discomfort, but the soldier's body was a little heavy when he died, so that Yuan Yao almost didn't pull out the Tai'a Sword, and the killing was a physical task, and Yuan Yao, who had entered the inner city, already felt a little weak.

Fortunately, there were many guards around him, and Xu Chu had been opening the way in front of his head, so Yuan Yao did not encounter danger.

At the gate of the inner city gate, Yuan Yao and others successfully reconciled with Pei Yuanshao, and everyone did not choose to continue to advance, but guarded the city gate and waited for reinforcements from behind.

In fact, along the way, Yuan Yao did not encounter as many enemy troops as he imagined, and the total number of enemy troops may be less than a hundred.

But in a moment, there was movement in the inner city.

"You bold thieves, if you don't retreat quickly, if you wait for General Zhou Ang's army to arrive, you won't be able to escape even if you want to!" Not far away, among a group of soldiers, a man who looked like a civilian official stood opposite and threatened.

"If you tell me to retire, I will retire, are you stupid or do you think I'm as stupid as you?" Yuan Yao looked at the man not far away, and shook his head with disdain.

"Kill—ah—"

At this moment, an overwhelming shout was heard not far away, which resounded throughout the night.

"Huangkou Ruzi, have you ever heard this sound of fighting like thunder, this must be the sound of the Taishou army encircling you and other thieves, if you don't surrender quickly, then stay here and wait for death!"

The man opposite Yuan Yao heard the sound of the battle getting closer and closer, and his face showed a sense of surprise, and he shouted at Yuan Yao without any worries.

"Where is the lord! Kill me! Gong Du led his troops to rush to the gate of the inner city, saw Yuan Yao at a glance, and rushed towards Yuan Yao with a shout.

"Lord, Chang Nu has led his troops to occupy the outer city and is blocking the city gate, and none of these people can escape!" Under the stunned eyes of the man opposite, Gong Du bowed to Yuan Yao, and continued to lead the army into the city.

"Haha, I can't die now, but I'm afraid it's hard for you to say." Seeing that the soldiers on the opposite side were either killed or surrendered, looking at the lone man, Yuan Yao suddenly smiled and smiled very proudly.

"You... What do you do? Looking at Yuan Yao's pawn who was gradually getting closer, the man's face finally changed greatly.

"Take it!" Yuan Yao smiled contemptuously and led Xu Chu and the others into the city.

The war city gate in this period is very important, once the city gate is lost, it can basically determine the outcome of the war, before dawn, Yuan Yao's army has completely occupied Shouchun.

Shouchun is too guarded.

Liu Ji took over all the government affairs in the city and temporarily held the post of Changshi, and Chang Nu was appointed by Yuan Yao as the governor of Jiujiang and was responsible for the defense of the city.

In private, Liu Ji first warned Yuan Yao bitterly, and the son of the daughter could not sit down in the hall and wait, before giving Yuan Yao a message, asking Yuan Yao to write the appointment of Jiujiang County in the form of a letter, and let Wei Zhongxian take it to Yuan Shu.

And the man at the gate of the city before, after some torture, admitted his identity, this man is also the doorman of the Zhou family, and he was appointed by Zhou Ang for a long history.

Yuan Yao simply asked people to pack this long history and let Wei Zhongxian bring it over.

Wei Zhongxian's trip was quite far, and Yuan Yao specially asked Pei Yuanshao to accompany him with dozens of soldiers, and on the same day, he escorted his predecessor Changshi to Nanyang County.

......

Under the gate of Hefei, Huang Zhong led five hundred light horsemen to come day and night.

"Open the gates, open the gates!" Huang Zhong led the people to shout anxiously under the city.

"Who is under the city?" The guard on the wall poked his head out and asked.

"Yangzhou Thorn Shi Chen Wen couldn't afford to be sick, so he specially ordered me to wait and ask Zhou Ang Taishou to preside over the overall situation!" Huang Zhong arched his hand towards the city and shouted loudly.
