Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Siege

"General, news just came that General Murong has taken Hou Wei."

"Alas! I didn't expect to let him take the lead. ”

"What is the situation of Chen Guo?"

"Still refusing to come out, guarding the city wall."

"Toast and don't eat and drink!"

"Pass the order and prepare to attack."

"Yes!"

With the sound of horns, Hou Sui's army quickly assembled.

"Attack!"

Several Qianzong took the lead and rushed directly towards the city wall with people.

"Whoosh!"

Sharp arrows were fired, and the attacking army was instantly killed and wounded.

"Don't stop, keep rushing."

A group of people rushed under the city wall under the rain of arrows, and ladders were erected up one after another.

"Hurry, hurry up."

Hou Sui's soldiers held weapons in their mouths and climbed the ladder in an orderly manner.

In the distance, Wang Kai saw the army climbing the ladder, and couldn't help but sweat for them.

"Send men to attack the city gates, and you must take them all at once."

"Yes!"

Several strong men picked up a sharpened log and braved the rain of arrows to the city gate.

"One-two, up! One, two, on! ”

"Boom! Boom! ”

There was a bang, and the gates began to shatter little by little under the impact.

"Send them all out and take down Chen Guo in one fell swoop."

Wang Kai sent all the troops in one go, and he himself drew his long knife and rushed forward.

"Hey! Get it on! ”

The gate was knocked out of a hole by several strong men, and the surrounding area began to crack gradually.

"If you work harder, it will break in no time!"

With the continuous encouragement of the leader, the frequency of collision of several people began to increase, and after a while, a big hole was broken in the city gate, but unfortunately it was not able to pass people.

Chen Guoshi inside panicked, and hurriedly brought various things to plug the gap, although the effect was not very good, but it could hold on for a while.

"Get out of the way!"

Under the city wall, Wang Kai held a long knife in his mouth and climbed directly up the ladder.

The soldiers on the city wall immediately dropped their stones, ready to smash the king's armor down.

Wang Kai grabbed one side of the ladder with one hand, his body quickly dodged, and he hung in the air, and the soldiers behind him couldn't dodge, screaming and falling down.

Swinging back into place, Wang Kai continued to climb upward, dodging several boulders before leaping to his feet and landing on the city wall.

"Get out of here!"

With a single sword, the soldiers who stood in the way were slashed, and Hou Sui's army followed, and the group quickly occupied a place on the city wall.

……

"Speed up!"

Murong Fuhai rushed over with three thousand men, and he received an order that an army was approaching the border of the state of Chen, and Dillon had already rushed over first.

The battle is not over yet, so for the time being, he can only rely on the two of them to resist it.

On the border of Chen, Dillon led his cavalry back to a hillside, staring at the more than 5,000 people below with blazing eyes.

These people came from the south, they were all the troops of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the purpose of coming this time was not yet certain, but now that Wang Kai had not taken the Chen State, he must not let these people disrupt the plan.

"General, General Murong has arrived, and he is camping thirty miles away at this time."

"Let's go, let's go and meet General Murong first!"

……

"One, two, three! One two three! ”

"Bang!"

With a violent crash, the city gate was shattered instantly, and a large number of Later Sui troops rushed into the city.

"Kill!"

Wang Kai had also led people to kill them from the city wall, and Chen Guo's army did not dare to resist anymore and immediately scattered and fled.

"Quickly break through the palace and kill the emperor of Chen State, reward 100,000 taels of silver, and seal a thousand generals."

"Kill!"

Hou Sui's soldiers immediately became excited, and rushed towards the palace like crazy.

In the palace, Emperor Chen sat on the ground with a dead face, and he knew that he had no chance.

"Alas! Sure enough, I couldn't help myself. ”

"Your Majesty, you can still escape now, go with the old slave!"

"No need, you can run away if you want!"

Several eunuchs glanced at each other, and then did not persuade more.

"Bang!"

Several soldiers broke in, and a few eunuchs were blocked as soon as they reached the door.

"Finally found it!"

A centurion smirked, and walked in with the man.

"My lord, spare us, we have money, and we can give it to you!"

"Humph! Die! ”

A few people had already killed the red eyes, so what did they care about, they hacked the eunuch to death with a few knives, and then walked towards Emperor Chen unhurriedly.

"Kill me!"

"If you don't say I'll do the same!"

The centurion led by him slashed down with a knife, and several soldiers immediately rushed up to rob him.

"Enough! Stuff here! ”

A few people didn't dare to refute, so they obediently handed their heads over.

"Boss, don't forget your brothers when you're developed."

"Don't worry, this time I have been promoted to the general manager, and you will all be promoted."

"Mr. Xie Qian!"

"It's too early to call, follow me to the general to receive the reward."

"Yes!"

After taking the city, Wang Kai wiped the blood from his knife and then went straight to the palace.

"General, we cut off Emperor Chen, this is his head."

"Yes, when the battle is over, I will fulfill the promise I just made."

"General Xie!"

"Report! Your Majesty's Message! ”

"Greetings!"

"Your Majesty has an order, ordering General Wang to quickly take down the Chen State and lead troops to support General Murong."

"Obey the order!"

Wang Kai rubbed his eyebrows, he also knew the current situation, but there was still a wave of people on the periphery who had not withdrawn.

"Clean up the battlefield quickly!"

"Yes!"

On the other side, after Murong Fuhai and Dillon converged, the two discussed it and decided to take the initiative.

"Old General Di, I will call the battle on a cloudy day, and then the old general will ambush on this hillside and catch them off guard!"

"This method works, but are we too few people?"

"It's okay, Wang Kai should have already solved Chen Guo, I believe it won't be long before he arrives."

"Good! Then I'll go and get ready. ”

"Good!"

……

The next day, Wang Kai rushed to the border with 2,000 men without stopping.

"General Murong!"

"Lao Wang, you're finally here!"

"There's no way, Chen Guo delayed a little time."

"It's good to come, we just need to take the initiative."

"Take the initiative?"

"That's right, the other party's situation is not cloudy, and now they are neither ready to attack, nor do they have the intention of retreating, so we are ready to attack directly and teach them a lesson."

"Wouldn't that be too reckless?"

"There is no way, now that the two countries have been newly admitted, the border is still unstable, and we can't wait any longer."

"Okay, but it's getting late today, why don't you attack again on a cloudy day?"

"Good!"

The three of them made a brief plan, and then returned to their tents.

Yang Lie, who was far away in Meng County, had also received the news, and was discussing countermeasures with Li Wei at this time.

"Your Majesty, this Hongtu is the tyrant I mentioned, I didn't expect him to have unified the south, this speed is not slower than ours!".

"Indeed, but it's not clear what they mean right now, and I'm not prepared to rush into war with them."

"Your Majesty Yingyin!"
