Chaos begins before dawn, the darkest half-hour of the day.
It¡¯s not enough. Things had already been taken into consideration earlier.
As early as more than an hour ago, Wei Yan received an urgent report from his subordinates, saying that the target he was focused on suddenly left the camp. He summoned a dozen of his subordinates and sneakily approached the east gate.
Wei Yan immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Yes, one of his important tasks with Lu Bu was to keep an eye on Wei Xu to prevent this unstable factor from getting the chance to cause damage. Although the war was urgent and manpower was in short supply, he still arranged for two shifts of manpower to guard, for fear that the man who would cheat would take advantage of the loophole.
When he got the news that Wei Xu had made any changes, he hurriedly put on his clothes and chased him out, regardless of recuperating and resting.
Wei Xu was going to the east gate, and Cao Cao's main force was also at the east gate. After licking the blood on the blade of the knife for so many years, how could Wei Yan not smell the danger in it?
"My lord has a keen eye, and he saw the right person. This guy is just an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf! The same goes for Marquis Wen. He has obviously already done that before. Even if we don't want his life, we can't continue to cause this scourge." Stay in the army!" After joining the men who were leading the way, Wei Yan was cursing all the way.
"General, should we inform Marquis Wen about this matter first?" Wei Yan doesn't have any big-name soldiers, most of them are experts in some fields, and many of them are people who have a lot of experience in the world of people and power and strategies. The reminder is very important. reason.
"It's all going crazy, how can we have time to talk about this?" Wei Yan shook his head and scolded him immediately. To be honest, if Marquis Wen hadn't taken care of his mother-in-law, how could he have been in such trouble today? Maybe everyone is in Yanzhou, waiting to pursue the enemy in a big way!
But having said that, it¡¯s useless to complain now. Since Wei Xu is going to take action, it can¡¯t be justified without notifying the victim. It would be terrible if the snake is not killed but the tacit understanding between the two armies is destroyed.
"Forget it, it's not appropriate to disturb Marquis Wen at this time. Go with a few people and inform Xunyi and Chengming and ask them to send someone over to bear witness." Wei Yan waved his hand, and the boss muttered dissatisfiedly: "Still. My lord, my subordinates can do things with ease. If we were still in Qingzhou, why would we need so much fuss?"
Many of Wei Yan¡¯s spies are older than the generals. They are old men who have joined Wang Yu since he established the espionage system. Of course, they will not be like the young general. Complaining and so on will not be of substantial help in solving the problem.
Immediately, two people bowed to accept the order, and then disappeared silently into the darkness. The remaining people quickened their pace and moved forward quickly.
Although Wei Xu set out early, he didn't walk very fast because he wanted to conceal his whereabouts. When Wei Yan and his party approached him from behind, he was still a short distance away from the East City Gate.
Wei Yan was not in a hurry to take action, he wanted to wait to catch the thief and the stolen goods.
And Wei Xu didn't know whether he was afraid or something, but when he reached the end of the field, he hesitated. Wei Yan stared at him from a distance, and saw him summoning his followers to discuss something, and then observing the city defense, and then walking back to the city gate for a few steps, and then walking back to the same place, which made Wei Yan very anxious.
"What on earth is this guy doing? Is he cheating?"
"It's hard to say. During the last rebellion in Puyang, this person was not the mastermind. He was just used as a sword. According to generals Chengming and Wenyuan, this person's courage was actually limited. He followed others to make noises. It's possible, but if he is left alone"
"So, he is afraid when things are about to happen?"
"There is insufficient information and it is impossible to make a conclusion. The safest way now is to capture him first and interrogate him"
"If I could win it, I would have done it long ago." Wei Yan could only smile bitterly in response to his subordinate's suggestion.
In the midst of trouble, Gao Shun arrived. The two sides got together to discuss for a while, but still couldn't find a solution. Since ancient times, nepotism has been the most troublesome problem. Didn't a hero as big as Han Xin die at the hands of a woman?
"Where is the honest man?" Gao Shun was brave enough to fight and was never afraid of danger, but in normal life he was a person with no independent opinions. Wei Yan discussed with him for a few words but couldn't get to the point, and he even remembered Cao Xing's straightforwardness.
"After nightfall, there seemed to be some strange movement in the north direction of the city. Chengming was worried that something might happen, so he went to inspect the city."
Zhang Liao is good at planning and dispatching, Gao Shun is good at commanding on the spot, Cao Xing is superb in archery and observes every detail, Cheng Lian and Wei Yue are fierce and brave, and they are the generals Lu Bu relies on most. According to the characteristics of several people, Lu Bu kept Gao Shun by his side when defending the city, Cao Xing led the reserve team to sit in the city, ready to support all directions at any time, and Cheng Lian patrolled back and forth on the other three walls.
During the fierce battle during the day, Cao Xing never intervened, so early in the eveningNothing strange happens. Just hearing that there seemed to be something strange happening in the north of the city, Wei Yan immediately became interested.
"North of the city? Ehthat's bad!"
After thinking for a moment, his face suddenly changed, and he said in a voiceless voice: "We have fallen into a trap, making an attack in the east and attacking in the west No, it doesn't have to be the west of the city, it could also be the north of the city! I'm confused, I'm so confused! Without further ado, Xunyi, you go first Go to the north gate, I¡¯ll take this bastard who¡¯s eating everything in, and then go to the west of the city"
Before he finished speaking, fire suddenly appeared in the west direction of the city, followed by a thundering cry of killing!
Gao Shun's reaction was a little slow, but with such a change, no matter how slow he was, he still knew what happened.
"Ximen, it's actually Ximen, now"
Before he finished speaking, the exclamations were drowned out by the sudden sound of war drums deep in the night. The sudden drum beat was high-pitched and intense. It was a little sporadic at first, but it soon became loud in all directions.
"Dong! Dongdong! Dongdongdong! Dongdongdongdong" is getting more and more urgent, louder and louder, the sound is urging people to grow old, and it is heartbreaking!
The second general¡¯s face was full of misery.
Until now, they still haven't figured out how Wei Xu maintained contact with Cao's army outside the city, but there is no doubt that this was a long-planned rebellion. Attacking in the east and west, cooperating inside and outside, attacking one's own side who was unprepared and caught off guard!
"If Wei Yan hadn't been watching Wei Xu closely enough, they themselves might have just woken up from their dreams at this moment. In this pitch-black environment, how could they talk about contingency?
"There is nothing we can do, brother Xunyi, go and gather the troops quickly, and I will block it for a while." Wei Yan shook his head as if mocking himself, his face suddenly softened, and the glint in his eyes clearly showed that he was aware of it.
"But¡¡"
"You don't want my mother-in-law anymore, the city is broken, and none of us can survive!" Wei Yan quickly interrupted: "Is it you who can gather the troops now, or me? The faster you move, the greater my chance of survival. Anyway, 99% out of 10 are already dead, so this is a last-ditch effort! Brother Xunyi, little brother, take the first step!"
After saying that, he turned around resolutely, raised his knife and shouted: "Those who are not afraid of death, come with me!"
No one responded. Thirty-two spies and informants expressed their feelings with actions. They followed closely behind the general and rushed to the place where the fire was the strongest.
Watching his friend's back disappear into the darkness, Gao Shun slowly turned around and looked at his colleague not far away who had just experienced a great joy and was about to leave.
Raising the sword and shield in his hand, Gao Shun relied on his own opinion for the first time in his life and made the decision to kill first and then play: "Kill the internal thieves first, and then defend against the external enemies!"
"Here!" All the troops agreed with a roar.
¡¡
There is a fire in the city, and the defenders are rebelling! The city gate is wide open and people are killing each other everywhere!
The amazing good news and the sound of drums spread throughout Cao Jun¡¯s camp, immediately arousing cheers. Just half a day ago, this city was still so strong. The fierce attack of 80,000 troops could not even stand on the top of the city.
Those defenders who put their life and death at risk were terrifying, they were simply a group of desperadoes! In a small city with a radius of only a few hundred steps, during the two-hour battle, the attackers actually dropped more than 5,000 corpses, and countless generals and officers were killed or injured!
Sixteen named military generals died, plus the injured Dian Wei, the half-dead Yan Ming, and the lame Lu Chang This nameless town is like a bottomless pit, with its mouth wide open, just waiting to be swallowed up life.
Now, this black hole has finally opened. It¡¯s like God has cooked the meat and brought it to everyone¡¯s mouth. Is there any reason not to eat it? Is there any reason not to smash it to pieces? Without the need for officers to mobilize, the soldiers were already fully energized and scrambling to get the first position.
????????????????????????????????????????????? Being the first to board during the day is asking for death, but now, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s just getting both fame and fame!
"My lord has an order. If you can capture and kill Lu Bu, if you offer it to your subordinates, you will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and a fifth-level knighthood!" Without unnecessary verbosity, he boosted his morale with just one sentence. Cao Cao ordered the remaining soldiers and horses, and the 80,000-strong army rushed towards Xiao Xiuwu like the weight of a mountain!
There were no twists and turns in the process of breaking into the West City Gate.
The besieging Cao army has been mainly attacking the east gate. The west gate has basically not been touched. These 10,000 elites were temporarily mobilized. With limited troops, Lu Bu will certainly not deploy heavy troops again.
There were not many soldiers guarding the gate, and they did not expect that the fatal knife was stabbed from behind. The moment the sudden change occurred, all the officers guarding the gate had been killed. Although the remaining defenders were much more rebellious than Hou Cheng's group, they were completely helpless after losing their command.With a combined force, some people want to seize the city gate, while others want to report the news, and there are also many people who are timid and run away.
By the time Xiahou Dun led his army to attack, everything would be irreversible.
"You lead the way! First break the main camp in the city. Zhong Jin and Zhong Shen, you two will lead your troops and work separately. Go and capture the north and south gates first!" Xiahou Dun pointed his steel gun at Hou who came to greet him. OK, he shouted and ordered.
"Here!" Zhong Jin and Zhong Jin are brothers. They have made many achievements under Xiahou Dun. They may not have many bright minds, but they are indispensable for charging into battle.
Hou Chengze slandered in his heart: What's so arrogant? Without me, even a reckless man like you can enter the city?
Complaints are complaints. After staying in Cao's army for so long, he also knows the identity of the other party. Let alone a reduced general, even with the status of Le Jin and Li Dian, would he dare to challenge the generals of the Cao family? But no matter what, this achievement has been achieved, and this is enough.
Hou Cheng was thinking about what kind of reward he would get for his contribution, while he nodded and bowed and walked to the front of the team. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
