Chapter 825: Easily Conquer Xincai
The soldiers under the city heard the shouts of the soldiers behind them and panicked. They finally escaped from the battlefield and were about to enter the city of their own power, but they didn't expect to be turned away. For a while, the soldiers under the city quarreled, and some even shouted to kill their way into the city.
Seeing the reaction of the soldiers under the city, the soldiers on the city couldn't bear it. They all thought about how disappointed and confused they would be if they encountered such a situation.
When they thought of this, the soldiers on the top of the city looked up at their superiors. Seeing this, several generals on the top of the city hurriedly said to Liu Bo: "General, the people under the city are indeed our brothers. Let's open the gate quickly. It will be too late when the An Dong army catches up. Besides, if these brothers enter the city, the defense force in the city will be much stronger."
"Yes, general!"
"Yes, general, open the city gate."
Liu Bo knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer, otherwise it would have a great impact on the morale of the army. So he said: "Okay, order the drawbridge to be lowered, open the city gate halfway, and let the brothers under the city enter the city quickly. Everyone should be prepared. Once they find that the Anton army is approaching, close the city gate immediately."
"Don't worry, General, we can save it." The people on the top of the city said immediately;
Then, someone on the top of the city immediately said to the people under the city: "Captain Li, please let the brothers get ready. We will open the city gate immediately. You let the brothers enter the city quickly!"
"Thank you, General Liu, thank you brothers on the top of the city!" Li Zhe under the city was overjoyed. While answering loudly, he nodded to the captain of the Iron Wall Camp beside him.
The two thousand Iron Wall Camp dispatched nearly a thousand people this time, led by a captain. Dian Wei was originally going to go out by himself, but his body was too big. Li Zhe was afraid that he would be exposed, so he repeatedly asked Wang Ran not to let Dian Wei go with him to the city. In the end, he had to let him lead more than a thousand soldiers of the Iron Wall Camp in the back wave, hiding in the dark, and quickly lead troops to support them after they opened the city gate.
Soon, the rope on the top of the city slowly lowered the drawbridge, and the soldiers who had been waiting outside the moat for a long time immediately stepped onto the drawbridge and rushed towards the city gate.
Then, the city gate slowly opened a crack with a "creaking" sound. Not long after, many soldiers came to the city gate. They did not enter the city immediately, but several people worked together to push the city gate to both sides. The soldiers in the city hurriedly stopped their behavior, and the answer they got was: "The general has been seriously injured. How can he be carried in with such a small crack?"
The soldier in charge of opening the city gate thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he stopped stopping the soldiers from entering the city. As the city gate opened, more and more soldiers entered the city gate hole, and then dozens of soldiers quietly surrounded the soldiers in charge of opening the city gate. After a light call of "hands on", only a "puff" sound was heard, and dozens of soldiers who opened the city gate fell in a pool of blood.
At this time, more than a hundred soldiers had entered the city gate. The leading captain gave an order, saying: "Send a signal to General Dian outside the city, leave one team to guard the city gate, and the others will follow me to the city tower."
As he gave the order, a soldier immediately raised the torch in his hand, and with the help of several soldiers, shook it high a few times to send a signal to the army outside the city.
Soon, a lot of running sounds were heard outside the city, which made the soldiers on the top of the city nervous, but soon everyone relaxed because they saw that the soldiers who entered the fire were still wearing their own army's clothes and armor.
The soldiers on the top of the city did not find anything unusual, but Liu Bo found something wrong from these soldiers. One of them was that although these soldiers were also in tattered clothes and armor and covered in blood, they ran too fast, and they didn't look like they had been running for a day and a night to escape after several hours of fighting.
Another point is that these soldiers seemed too strong and too tough.
Soon, Liu Bo's doubts became more and more intense. Suddenly, a huge figure appeared in Liu Bo's field of vision.
Moreover, this person was so tall that he was not inferior to General Ji Ling, but he was wearing the armor of an ordinary soldier.
A huge fear suddenly surged into Liu Bo's heart: "No, these people are not soldiers of the rear army, but are pretending to be from the Anton army."
Thinking of this, Liu Bo was frightened to death, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Quick, pull up the drawbridge and close the city gate. They are pretending to be from Anton. Quick..." A sharp voice suddenly sounded from the top of the city, and Liu Bo finally confirmed the identity of the friendly army under the city.
The soldiers on the top of the city were frightened by their commander's sudden shout, and they didn't know what to do for a moment. Seeing that the soldiers were standing there like wooden chickens, Liu Bo didn't care about his image. He rushed to the winch of the suspension bridge with a few quick steps, pushed the soldiers standing there away, and then turned the winch madly like a demon.
Although Liu Bo's guards didn't understand what was going on like the soldiers around them, their long-term experience as guards made them develop a habit of absolute obedience to the commander, so the guards also stepped forward to help Liu Bo.
However, at this time, Dian Wei under the city had already rushed to the side of the suspension bridge. Seeing the suspension bridge being retracted, he immediately shouted, raised his hand halberd in his hand, and chopped at the suspension chain of the suspension bridge.
"Ding"
"Hua La La..."
He cut off the wrist-thick iron chain with his halberd, and then he turned around and rushed towards another iron chain. Then he cut off both chains. With a "boom", the suspension bridge, which had just risen a few feet, fell onto the moat again.
Almost at the same time, shouts of killing were heard from the top of the city. Liu Bo was startled and looked towards the sound. He saw that dozens of brave soldiers who had entered the city first had already climbed up the city wall and launched an attack on the defenders on the top of the city. They killed the defenders on the top of the city like cutting melons and vegetables.
Seeing this situation, Liu Bo knew that he was powerless to save the situation. In addition to his ability, Liu Bo was also very active in thinking to be Huang Yi's confidant. After thinking for a while, he immediately ordered his personal soldiers: "Let's go, quickly, go from the top of the city wall to the south gate and evacuate from the dock." After that, he went to the south wall without looking back.
The guards were startled, but immediately reacted and followed their commander to leave.
With the escape of the defender Liu Bo, Xincai City fell into the hands of Huangfu Chaobo. Wang Ran only lost dozens of soldiers from the Iron Wall Camp to capture Xincai City.
Then the army entered the city, and people took over the city walls and gates, collecting prisoners while pacifying the people. At the same time, cavalry was sent overnight to report the victory to Huangfu Chaobo.
