Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 172 Attacking Runan

After the battle between Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei ended.

Lu Bu led the army to stay on one side of the camp, and had no intention of setting up camp, so he settled down on one side of the camp casually.

Liu Qi didn't pay too much attention to this either. After all, Lu Bu intended to stay in Runan, and he came here this time only for the First World War. It doesn't matter whether he builds a camp or not. After the First World War, everything can be dealt with.

Time passed little by little.

As night fell, the bright sky gradually became dark.

Runan City Wall.

The lights were bright, the flags were flying, and many city guards stood upright beside the city wall with spears in their hands.

On the passage of the city wall, from time to time, a group of neat soldiers with long guns passed by, paying attention to the situation outside the city all the time, without letting go of a single detail, it was obvious that they had entered a state of preparation for battle.

The guards of the city also knew that Liu Qi's troops were approaching the city. Although they didn't know why Liu Qi's army stayed twenty miles away and didn't surround the city, they didn't believe that Liu Qi led the army to visit the mountains and rivers. To attack the city, it is not known why no one was sent to call for a fight or to attack the city all day.

Therefore, Chen Ji, the general of Runan City, did not relax his vigilance and strengthened the defense above the city wall. With Liu Qi's force, it would be impossible to capture the city overnight or in one day.

When night falls.

There were no common people on the streets of the city, and they had already returned to their homes, closed their doors tightly, and went to bed early.

It also made the city, which was bustling during the day, quiet down.

however.

In this quiet city, there are countless black shadows, silently appearing, some come out from the back door of the inn, some come out from the houses of some common people, and some come out from the gathering places of some beggars.
These black shadows walked in the dark area, approaching the gate of the city silently.

On the way of walking, countless black shadows gathered together, from a dozen to more than a hundred, and finally gathered into a torrent.

slowly.

The gathered black shadows also approached the gate of the city without a sound, and there were still hundreds of meters away from the gate of the city.

But the distance of hundreds of meters is empty, and if you go out, you can see it clearly and expose it to the eyes of the soldiers guarding the gate.

There are three hundred soldiers, holding spears, standing straight in front of the city gate passage, guarding.

There are torches inserted on both sides, and there are four fire plates. The light of the fire swayed with the direction of the breeze, and also irradiated the figures of the soldiers guarding the passage at the gate of the city onto the ground, forming shadows one by one.

The bright flames also allowed the soldiers in front of the city gate passage to see clearly the distance of hundreds of meters that was empty.

"General!" Among the gathered black shadows, one of the first few people said in a voice that only they could hear.

The person at the front, who is called the general, also frowned. After all, the distance of hundreds of meters was also a challenge for them. If they wanted to take the city gate silently, that was Impossible.

Looking back, those pairs of bright green eyes, like the eyes of hungry wolves in the dark night, said in a low voice: "Strike hard, quickly eliminate the guards at the city gate, and then lead your men to open the city gate and shoot loud arrows!"

"promise!"

The person who spoke just now responded without any hesitation.

zheng~~
"kill!"

The general who decided to attack by force drew out his sword without hesitation, and was the first to rush out. He was Zhang Liao, and the elite of their Bingzhou wolf cavalry gathered together.

That is to say, the soldiers and horses sent by Lu Bu in batches to hide in Runan City are also the key to capturing Runan City.

"kill!"

The elite of a thousand Bingzhou wolf riders did not hesitate when Zhang Liao rushed out. They drew their weapons one after another, rushed towards the city gate, and forcibly seized the city gate.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The soldiers standing in front of the passage of the city gate also saw Zhang Liao rushing out, and a thousand Bingzhou wolf riders, and also saw the coldly shining sharp blade in everyone's hands, and shouted directly.

Hundreds of soldiers raised their weapons and went forward.

When, when, ah~~
At a distance of several hundred meters, the two sides rushed to kill, and soon collided with each other. The sound of weapons colliding, and the screams before dying also sounded instantly.

Zhang Liao held the saber in his hand and rushed into the city gate defenders, every swing of the sword was a life, there was no enemy, it was like entering a land without people, and like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

The Bingzhou wolf cavalry was the main combat force in Bingzhou to resist the Huns going south. Not to mention the experience of hundreds of battles, each of them is a soldier who has experienced bloody battles, let alone the elite soldiers among them.

In an instant, the defenses of hundreds of city gate defenders were torn through, and they broke through.

One person led dozens of elite Bingzhou wolf riders to the city gate.

Zhang Liao took the rest of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry elite, turned around, and stood guard in front of the city gate passage, buying time for the city gate to open.

The city gate defenders and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry led by Zhang Liao also turned around, and the city gate passage also fell into Zhang Liao's hands, and after a charge, less than half of the hundreds of city gate defenders remained.

Step, step, step.
There was a sound of footsteps.

The change in front of the city gate passage, the shouts just now, as well as the screams, screams, and the sound of weapons colliding, also alarmed the defenders on the city wall.

Many city wall defenders, led by a general, ran down the city wall and gathered with the rest of the city gate defenders.

He looked at the Bingzhou wolf cavalry who had switched positions and stood guard in front of the city gate passage, and the dozens of people who walked into the city gate passage and wanted to open the city gate.

The partial generals who came down from the city wall, although they don't know why the enemy army appeared in the city, and there are not a few of them, but they also know that they can't hesitate. It's not the time to think about those things. The city gate must be taken back, and it cannot fall on the enemy army hands.

Then he shouted: "Kill!"

He commanded the guards and soldiers who came down with him to hide and kill the Bingzhou wolf cavalry. At the same time, he also grabbed two cronies and asked one to report to Chen Ji quickly, and the other to go up the city wall and continue to dispatch soldiers and horses down.

"kill!"

Zhang Liao looked at the guards who had killed the city guards, but he was not afraid at all. Holding the sword still dripping with blood, he yelled and rushed out.

"kill!"

The elite wolf riders of Bingzhou were all people who had experienced wars and blood baptism. Facing the city defenders who were more numerous than them, they did not show any fear. They waved their weapons and rushed out with Zhang Liao.

The two armies collided quickly, and the two sides fought either for life or death!
The sound of the collision of weapons, the sound of sharp blades piercing into the body, the sound of screams, the sound of killing, and the sound of mourning, resounded under the sky, like forming a beautiful symphony.
