Chapter 49: The strategy of breaking the city
He had been standing for half an hour, and Jiang Xu had begun to get a little impatient, so he began to ask.
"Mr. Yuanzhi, didn't you say that there is a strategy to break the city, could it be that you just look at the county seat of Ganwu County and see through the city?"
"It seems that General Bo Yi is already anxious," Xu Shu smiled faintly and looked at Zhao Yun, "Lord, the time is almost up, we can do it." β
Zhao Yun couldn't wait to solve Zhang He's army, so he nodded and scolded loudly.
"The hour has come, come on, start the fire!"
With Zhao Yun's order, three beacon fires behind Zhao Yun were lit, and in an instant, the flames rose into the sky, and they could be clearly seen for dozens of miles for a while.
At the head of Ganwu County, Cao Jun, who was on duty, soon noticed the Dao Dao fire that rose to the sky under the city, and with this firelight, they were also horrified to find that the black pressure Zhao Yun's army was like a dark cloud covering the sun, and it had already come to the city.
"Zhao Yun's army is attacking at night, and an enemy is comingβ"
Cao Jun, who was the first to discover Zhao Yun's army, reacted and hurriedly shouted loudly, and the rest of the defenders at the head of the city hurriedly opened their sleepy eyes, and in the blink of an eye, a piercing horn pierced the silence of the night.
"Hugh should panic, meet the enemy, meet the enemy, hurry, quickly report to Zhang He's general......"
A captain of the Cao Army was loudly ordering his subordinates, when he saw a cold light pierce the starry sky and penetrate his chest directly.
His blood-spurting corpse, under the shocked gaze of the Cao army, fell off the city wall before he could let out a wail.
This cold arrow did not come from outside the city, but actually shot from inside the city.
The soldiers of the Cao army at the head of the city fell into a deathly silence in an instant, and no one could understand why the cold arrow flew out of the city.
Could it be that his fellow brother shot the wrong one?
Soon, screams rang out from the city, waking them up from their astonishment.
In the gate of Ganwu County, hundreds of figures suddenly appeared out of nowhere, although they were dressed as civilians, they were very brave, and they came out of the darkness and killed directly above the city.
There were only more than 500 Cao soldiers on duty at the city gate, and in a hurry, they were quickly caught off guard by a group of sacred "divine soldiers" who didn't know where.
The heads were cut off like this, and the Cao army on both sides of the city gate was killed and fell apart, and this group of sergeants slaughtered all the way, and they were killed above the city gate in a blink of an eye.
A cold light flashed, and the rope of the city gate suspension bridge was directly cut off, and a suspension bridge at the city gate fell with a bang.
At the same time, the city guards above the city gate Cao army was also completely killed, and a shocking shout of killing sounded, and the huge city gate of the county seat of Ganwu County was opened violently.
The gates are open!
On the hill slope not far from the city, Zhao Yun saw the chaotic battle at the city gate clearly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, leaking a smile, and said to Xu Shu behind him.
"Yuan Zhi, Yuan Zhi, you are really 'scheming', let Li Kan and them lay this ambush so long in advance,"
Xu Shu also smiled slightly, of course he could hear that his lord's sentence of "old scheming" was actually praising him.
"Lord, what the hell is going on, why did the Cao army at the head of the city kill himself?"
Yang Qiu, who was slightly lacking in resourcefulness, had not reacted for a while, and was naturally surprised.
Zhao Yun turned around and said with a smile, "Yang Qiu, don't you know, when our Xu army division withdrew from this Ganwu county seat, he had already secretly let Li Kan leave such an ambush soldier, pretending to be a common man, just waiting for today's battle to take the city gate for us." β
As soon as these words came out, the generals understood.
Jiang Xu was even more pleasantly surprised, and patted Xu Shu on the shoulder: "I said, Xu Yuanzhi, you old fox, you really have yours." β
Xu Shu smiled, coughed a few times, arched his hand and said to Zhao Yun: "Now that the city gate has been opened, please give the lord an order to let the generals lead the troops and kill him upside down." β
While his thoughts were rolling, Zhao Yun's face was full of pride, and he happily shouted: "Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt the use of people, Hou Xuan, Yang Qiu, Jiang Xu, I will hand over the eight thousand army to you, Hou Xuan, go and kill me Zhao Yun's prestige." β
After getting Zhao Yun's military power, Yang Qiu, who was still a little sullen just now, suddenly seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and instantly became glorious.
Suddenly turning around, Yang Qiu, Hou Xuan, and Jiang Xu looked directly at the enemy city, Yang Qiu pointed his spear, and shouted: "All the soldiers, follow the general to fight in the county seat of Ganwu County, and fight for the lord-"
In the whistling sound, the war horse under the crotch stepped hard, and Yang Qiu shot out like a bolt of lightning.
Behind him, Hou Xuan, Jiang Xu and other 8,000 troops burst out, killing the sky like a landslide.
The earth-shattering shouts of killing, thunder shook the sky, and the deafening sound of horses' hooves made the heavens and the earth change color, rolling wildly, and the eight thousand army slammed into the open city gate with the momentum of the sky and the earth.
Yang Qiu took the lead, directly crossed the suspension bridge, went straight past the city gate, and took the lead in rushing into the city of Ganwu County.
Then the army of 8,000 Zhao Yun, like a flood breaking through the sluice, roared into the county seat of Ganwu, like a hungry tiger pounced on food, and pounced on the panicked Cao army.
"Lord, what about us, are we just going to do it?" Li Kan, who came late, was full of blood, and his hands were itchy for a while.
The corner of Zhao Yun's mouth raised a sneer, "In today's battle, why don't you kill it, how can you and I be idle, we have more important things, come with me." β
Zhao Yunzhong's night jade lion horse under his crotch did not go to the open city gate, but ran to the east.
Although Li Kan was suspicious in his heart, he couldn't guess the deep meaning of his lord, so he could only lead the thousand foot soldiers he brought with him and follow him.
At this time, in Ganwu County, a road paved with blood, which has been broken through the city gate, has spread all the way along the wide avenue to the entire Ganwu County.
Yang Qiu, who was furious, was only after hundreds of steps into the city when a group of Cao troops slowly appeared in front of him.
Zhang Liao, who was asleep, after learning that the city gate was lost, didn't even care about wearing clothes and armor, so he hurriedly led more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to support the city gate, and before he arrived at the city gate, he ran into the surging Zhao Yun army.
Before Cao Jun could line up, Hou Xuan and Jiang Xu, who had killed the red-eyed candidates, under the leadership of Yang Qiu, rushed up and pounced on Zhang Liao.
"Zhang Liao, aren't you arrogant, why don't you dare to speak today, come on!"
