The Nameless of the Common Clans

In the dark night, many people in Yecheng were recruited overnight to deliver supplies to the city. The hurried footsteps kept passing by the river, and the torches around were swaying in the night wind. No one noticed that more and more figures gradually appeared from the dried-up waterway.

These figures were covered in mud, and in the dry canal, they seemed to be integrated with the mud around them. If they did not move, no one would be able to detect their existence.

"General, everyone is here!" The general of the Xianzhen Camp who was responsible for counting the number of soldiers found Gao Shun and whispered to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun moved his body, and the mud stuck to his body fell off. He drew out the sword at his waist and said loudly: "Soldiers, follow me to kill!"

"Who is it!?" The Yecheng defenders who were urging the people to carry supplies were suddenly startled by someone shouting beside them, and quickly raised their spears to see who was coming.

"Puff~"

The long sword that broke through the air pierced his chest directly. Immediately afterwards, in the horrified eyes of a group of people, figures covered in mud crawled out of the dry canal one by one, and drew their swords and chopped people when they saw them.

"Monster~" In the darkness, the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp were covered in mud, and they didn't look like humans at all. The people who were transporting supplies had never seen such a scene. With chaotic screams, they began to flee in all directions. The surrounding Yecheng defenders were also frightened by the other side's appearance.

The soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp didn't care about that. They climbed ashore and chopped and killed the surrounding Yecheng defenders.

"Notify the lord to start the general attack!" Gao Shun wiped off the mud mixed with blood on his face, pulled out his sword from the dead Yecheng defender, and said to the soldiers behind him.

"Yes!" The soldiers took out the rockets, but the fire starters were unusable. They immediately found torches on the ground, ignited the rockets, and shot them into the sky.

The rockets soared into the sky like a meteor, and were particularly dazzling in the dark night.

Chen Mo, who was commanding the army to fight, saw the rockets soaring into the sky, and a touch of joy flashed in his eyes. He said to the generals around him: "Quick, the Xianzhen Camp has entered the city, sound the horn for a general attack, and order Ma Chao, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu to patrol the three cities. Don't let the Yuan family get away! We must break Yecheng tonight!"

"Yes!" Hearing this, the generals responded one after another. With the loud horn sound, the Guanzhong soldiers began the general attack. The ropes of the suspension bridge on the moat had been broken, and battering rams kept rushing towards the city gate.

At the same time, on the enemy tower of Yecheng, Shen Pei and Gao Gan also learned that the soldiers had reported that a group of monsters had appeared in the city and were causing chaos. These monsters were not afraid of water or fire, and were invulnerable to swords and guns. Now they were heading towards the east gate.

"Ridiculous, where did the monsters come from in Yecheng?" Shen Pei frowned and shouted, "It must be the enemy who is playing tricks."

"How did the Guanzhong army get in?" Gao Gan frowned.

Yes, how did the Guanzhong army get in?

Shen Pei also had doubts, but this was obviously not the time to pursue this, so he immediately ordered: "Gather the soldiers in the city and make sure to defeat and kill this bandit army that sneaked into the city!"

"Yes!" The general agreed and turned away.

Gao Gan frowned and said, "Mr. Zhengnan, how do you know that it was the Guanzhong Army that sneaked into the city?"

"Chen Mo was quite abnormal tonight. It is strange to fight at night. General Rocket also saw it just now. I am afraid it was a signal from the thieves in the city to contact him." Shen Pei said in a deep voice. Chen Mo's behavior was abnormal today. He had doubts before, but now it has come true.

"Yecheng is guarded like an iron barrel on all sides. How did the thieves enter the city?" Gao Gan still didn't believe it.

Shen Pei looked at Gao Gan helplessly. Things have already happened. Is there still a need to worry about this issue?

"Under the moat, there is another canal connecting the river in the city. Someone just reported to me that the canal dried up. It should be that the upstream river water froze, and the water level of the moat dropped, causing the hidden canal to be exposed. I had ordered people to block the river mouth, but I didn't expect that the other party would get there first." After thinking for a while, Shen Pei roughly understood how the other party entered the city. When Yecheng was expanded, Shen Pei also knew that there was a hidden canal connecting the interior of Yecheng, but he didn't expect Chen Mo to seize this moment of opportunity. I'm afraid that the matter of the hidden canal had been known by Chen Mo before, otherwise the other party would not have responded so promptly.

Even the drying up of the moat was Chen Mo's credit, but Shen Pei didn't say this to the senior officials, as that would have further boosted Daji's morale.

"Report~"

When the two were discussing how to completely block the entrance to the canal, a general came over in a hurry and saluted them, saying: "General, the Guanzhong army in the city is extremely brave. Our soldiers can't resist them, and now they are rushing here."

There were fierce shouts and shouts from the bottom of the city. Shen Pei and Gao Gan's faces changed. Shen Pei frowned and said: "How many troops do they have?"

"There are not many people, about a thousand, but they are all extremely brave. Our soldiers are in a hurry and it is difficult to gather all of them here. A small team will go up and can't stop them at all. They will be killed by the opponent in one round. This kind of army, I am afraid that only the first-line soldiers under General Ju Yi can match it." The general said sadly.

As they were talking, shouts of killing were heard from behind. Shen Pei and Gao Gan hurriedly led their men to the other end of the city wall and looked down. They saw a group of men charging towards them. The defenders of Yecheng were rushing in from all directions, but this group of men was like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep. It was not just one, but a group. Moreover, they formed a battle formation with each other and cooperated tacitly. The defenders of Yecheng rushed forward, but were swallowed up and strangled by the enemy in an instant. The hundred-man team could not even resist in front of them.

"Shoot! Stop them!" Gao Gan quickly called in archers. The enemy's target was the city gate. Now that the drawbridge had been broken, if the city gate was opened by the enemy, the east gate would be lost.

"General, our soldiers are still below!" a general reminded.

"Don't worry about these. If the enemy is allowed to kill to the city gate, Yecheng will be in danger!" Gao Gan shouted angrily: "What are you waiting for!? Shoot!"

"Yes!"

The general gritted his teeth and waved the flag. Rows of archers kept shooting arrows downwards, but the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp were all wearing plate armor, and now they were covered with a layer of mud. It was difficult for the arrows to cause fatal damage to the enemy. Instead, the Yecheng defenders around were shot back by the rain of arrows and dared not move forward, which gave the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp an opportunity to rush forward.

"Stop now, archers withdraw, continue to block the enemy's siege, you take two troops down, make sure to stop this group!" Shen Pei's face changed when he saw this, and he shouted at the general.

On the other side, the siege of the Guanzhong army was getting more and more intense. The dispatch of archers here to stop it had caused the Guanzhong army to keep rushing up, and it was about to fall. Shen Pei hurriedly asked Gao Gan to drive the archers back to continue to defend the enemy, and asked people to dispatch two teams of troops down the city to stop the enemy. At the same time, he began to gather troops for battle. The Guanzhong army was extremely brave, and two troops could stop it for a while, but it was a delusion to stop it. Shen Pei must organize a new line of defense at the city gate before this group of troops collapsed.

"Yes!" The general agreed, ordered the troops to kill down the city, and roared to meet the trap camp.

"The determination to break through the formation!" Gao Shun raised the long sword in his hand and roared.

"Live to die!" The eight hundred soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp raised their swords one by one and fiercely faced the soldiers who came to block them. The two sides collided like two opposing torrents.

"Kill!" The leading general took the lead and rushed into the crowd. He stabbed a soldier of the Xianzhen Camp with his spear. The resistance from the spear was amazing. The other party's chest was bleeding, but he stared at him cruelly and chopped with a knife. The general quickly dodged, but there was already a soldier of the Xianzhen Camp waiting there. At the moment he dodged, the knife flashed, and the general froze, and was instantly buried by the crowd.

After a moment of stalemate between the two troops, the defenders of Yecheng were completely defeated. The bravery of the Xianzhen Camp exceeded their imagination. Each of them had a fierce look in their eyes. Even if they were stabbed several times, they would not retreat at all and would fight to the death.

This kind of momentum was something the defenders of Yecheng had never seen before.

Shen Pei did not expect that a force of nearly a thousand people would be defeated so quickly and miserably. The Guanzhong soldiers who attacked the city were already brave enough, but the troops in front of him were obviously more brave. The defense he organized was broken by the surging Xianzhen soldiers before he could even form a complete battle formation. Looking at the Guanzhong army rushing into the city gate like a tide, Shen Pei's raised palm fell down weakly.

"Guard the city gate, show our military uniforms, and open the city!" Gao Shun did not rush in all at once. After clearing the enemy troops in the city gate, he quickly ordered the Xianzhen soldiers to guard the four sides of the city gate. The soldiers on the city wall wanted to rush down, but they were blocked by the Xianzhen soldiers. Eight soldiers rushed to the city gate and removed the wooden pillars on the city gate. They wanted to remove the wooden plugs, but the wooden plugs had already deformed under the bombardment of the battering ram. The battering ram outside the city did not stop bombarding, and it was difficult to take it down in a hurry.

Gao Shun took a look and shouted, "Retreat, let them break it!"

Without the defenders holding the wooden pillars, the wooden plug could not hold out for long. As the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp pushed it away, the cracks on the wooden plug became more and more obvious as the battering rams outside the city continued to bombard it. After a few breaths, with a loud bang, the wooden plug was completely broken, and the battering rams rushed in first. Seeing this, Gao Shun shouted sternly, "Follow me, soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp, and kill the city!"

This was also to avoid unnecessary conflicts caused by the soldiers who were mistaken for the defenders.

"Kill!" With Gao Shun's order, the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp began to rush to the city. At the same time, a large number of Guanzhong troops poured into the city. Under the command of generals at all levels, they quickly occupied important places.

On the top of the city, Gao Gan grabbed Shen Pei, who was personally holding a sword to kill the enemy, and said sternly, "Sir, follow me to retreat to the inner city. The outer city can't be defended!"

At that moment, regardless of whether Shen Pei was willing or not, he led a group of people with red eyes to break through the siege, went down from the other side of the city wall, and went straight to the inner city.
