Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 374 Breaking the City (Part [-])
"Cheer up, don't be so lazy!"

In Xinxi City at night, Zhuge Hu was inspecting the city defenses on the city wall.

At this time, there were still mottled blood stains on Zhuge Hu's armor. He was wearing an iron helmet and holding a sword on his waist. He was walking forward slowly, followed by several soldiers and personal guards.

At the same time, he would remind the soldiers around him from time to time, and he looked a bit like a young general.

"Huh, this damn weather is not as comfortable as Xuzhou."

After inspecting the city wall twice, Zhuge Hu came to a watchtower and exhaled a pale breath. Zhuge Hu couldn't help but shrink his neck.

"This winter in Jingzhou is not cold or not, but it makes all the bones in the body feel itchy. Hey!"

After tightening the inner robe under his armor, Zhuge Hu couldn't help but sigh, but then he couldn't help but frown.

"What is that thing under the city?"

On the watchtower, Zhuge Hu seemed to see something slowly moving in the darkness below.

"Bottom?" The guards on the side were all veterans from Zhuge's family. Hearing this, he immediately walked up. Looking at the darkness below, he frowned involuntarily.

"Torches!" Following the old pawn's order, several torches were immediately brought in front of them, and then they were thrown downwards.

The fire light rotated all the way downwards, and finally fell to the ground.

Under the twirling of the torch, the darkness below the city was briefly dispelled, and a group of figures either bending over or crawling came into everyone's eyes.

"Enemy attack!"

At this moment, both the old soldier and Zhuge Hu immediately roared, and the soldiers on the city wall who had just been reminded immediately began to prepare for defense.

At this time, Niu Jin, who was under the city, knew the moment he saw the torch flying that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he shouted out before they shouted about the enemy attack.

"Kill, follow me and break the city!"

Under Niu Jin's roar, Cao Jun, who was sneaking under the city, finally stopped hiding his figure and rushed directly towards the city in front.

These days of fighting have leveled all the trenches and traps outside Xinxi City!

Cao Jun rushed towards Xinxi City unscrupulously. The Cao Jun led by Niu Jin were all the elites under Cao Ren and also the daredevils under his command.

At this time, despite the arrows and rolling stones falling on them, ladders with barbs were already hanging on the wall of Xinxi.

"The first to climb the city will be promoted to three levels, Tian Baiqing!"

Niu Jin's boldness has been engraved in everyone's hearts, and Cao Jun's morale increased by three points again for a while.

Although Zhuge Hu on the city wall was not particularly knowledgeable about night fighting, he still responded very reasonably to the Cao Jun who rushed over.

"Don't let them climb the city, push the rod, and push their ladder away!"

"Pour oil on fire, pour oil on fire!"

"quick!"

Under the night, under the mobilization of Zhuge Hu, the defense of Xinxi City was slowly spread out. Although Niu Jin who made the surprise attack was extremely brave, the soldiers under his command were also fearless of death.

But after attacking for a full hour, they still couldn't break through this new city head-on. "General, I'm afraid I'll wait for the soldiers." At this time, the new Runan County Sheriff Chen Jiao who accompanied the army also joined Cao Ren who was supervising the battle at the rear, feeling that this "farce" should also be over.

"Soldiers, it should be broken." Cao Ren said this directly while Chen Jiao looked in disbelief.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of noise suddenly broke out at the West City Gate that no one expected.

Zhuge Hu, who was following closely on the city wall, and Cao Ren, who was supervising the battle from behind, received the news almost at the same time.

While Niu Jin was fighting Zhuge Hu in the north city, Lu Chang had already led another elite team around to the west of the city, and then suddenly launched a surprise attack under the cover of night.

This time, the guards at the west city gate were not as cautious as Zhuge Hu, and at the same time, the fighting at the north city gate mobilized all their attention.

No one could have imagined that Cao Ren would dare to launch two night attacks in one night.
What's more, I didn't expect that Cao Ren's troops were actually so elite. Under the surprise attack, they rushed to the city wall in only half a stick of incense.

When Zhuge Hu got the news, most of the city wall had been lost.

"The wall of the West City is almost lost." Zhuge Hu muttered this to himself. Looking at Niu Jin below who was still rushing towards the top desperately, he seemed to understand something.

"General, we have enough troops, but you need me to support Xicheng. I would like to come."

"Take people to the west city immediately. You must guard the inner city for an hour." At this time, Zhuge Hu seemed to suddenly become calm, and then looked at another old guard.

"You took more than ten people to the city and found my third brother. Take him away immediately!"

"Take the general this is"

"Cao Cao's army is so majestic. I never thought this battlefield would look like this before.

It was my fault that I dragged down the officers and soldiers in the city, but now it is of no use to say this.

You must escort the third brother and some of the soldiers in the city out, let them guard the northern border of Jiangxia, protect the food and supplies in the city, and leave.

There must be no accidents."

"General."

"Go quickly!" Zhuge Hu roared, "How can this small Xinxi City kill two children of the Zhuge family!"

After hearing these words, everyone finally accepted the order with a bang, and the war in Xinxi City finally entered the final stage.

Zhuge Hu still underestimated the combat effectiveness of Cao's army. When Lu Chang and Niu Jin, who had been hiding, took action directly, the combat effectiveness of Cao's army was far beyond what Chang Diao and Wang Shuang could compare with at the time.

Just one night attack directly showed Zhuge Guo what tacit understanding is.

One person tried his best to serve as a bait, while the other person directly charged and climbed into the city.

By the time Zhuge Hu's people arrived at the West City, not only had the city wall been lost, but even the city gate had been opened.

Cao's army swarmed in and the incoming reinforcements were overwhelmed in an instant. When Zhuge Hu got the news, he could only abandon the north gate and retreat to the city.

With the help of the streets of Xinxi City, he retreated step by step and defended step by step, constantly buying enough time for Zhuge Jun.

On the other side, Zhuge Jun, who was being pulled by force, finally gave up his struggle. When he saw that the city was already on fire, he understood that it would not help if he went by himself.

He led his soldiers and horses to cover the food and baggage and quickly evacuated. He just felt a little heartbroken because the Zhuge family lost another person.
