Chapter 181: Capture Runan (I)


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

Lu Bu then led his army to stay on one side of the camp.

He had no intention of setting up camp, so he settled down casually on one side of the camp.

Liu Qi didn't pay too much attention to this.

After all, Lu Bu's intention was in Runan.

He came here just for a battle.

It didn't make any difference whether he built a camp or not.

After the battle, everything could be dealt with.

Time passed little by little.

As night falls, the bright sky slowly turns dark.

On the wall of Runan city.

The lights were brightly lit, the flags were fluttering, and many of the city's defenders stood upright beside the city wall with long spears in their hands.

On the passage of the city wall, a neat group of soldiers with spears in hand walked by from time to time.

They were always paying attention to the situation outside the city, not missing a single detail, and they were obviously in a state of preparation for war.

The soldiers who defended 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 did not surround the city, they did not believe that Liu Qi led the army to come to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

The only purpose must be to To attack the city, it is unknown why no one was sent to call for battle or attack the city at the end of the day.

Therefore, as the commander-in-chief of Runan City, Chen Ji did not relax his vigilance and strengthened the defenses on the city wall.

With Liu Qi's strength, it was simply impossible to capture the city in one night or one day.

When night falls.

There were no people on the streets in the city.

They had all returned to their homes, closed their doors tightly, and went to bed early.

It also made the city, which seemed bustling during the day, calm down.

However.

In this quiet city, there are countless black shadows, emerging silently.

Some come out of the back door of the inn, some come out of some common people's houses, and some come out of some beggars' gathering places.

These black figures walked in the dark area, silently approaching the city gate.

While walking, countless black shadows gathered together, from a dozen to more than a hundred, and finally converged into a torrent.

Slowly.

The gathering black shadows also silently approached the city gate, still hundreds of meters away from the city gate.

But there is nothing in the distance of several hundred meters.

If you step out, you can clearly see it and be exposed to the eyes of the soldiers guarding the city gate.

There were three hundred soldiers, holding spears in hand, standing upright in front of the city gate passage, guarding it.

There were torches inserted on both sides, as well as four fire plates.

The light of the fire swayed in the direction of the breeze, and also illuminated the figures of the soldiers guarding the passage at the city gate onto the ground, forming shadows.

The bright firelight also allowed the soldiers in front of the city gate passage to clearly see the empty space of several hundred meters.

"General" Among the dark figures gathered together, one of the people at the front said in a voice that only they could hear.

The person at the front, the man known as the general, also frowned.

After all, the distance of several hundred meters was also a challenge for them.

If they wanted to seize the city gate silently, that would be Impossible.

He looked back and saw those bright, green eyes, like hungry wolves hunting prey in the night.

He whispered: "Attack with force and quickly eliminate the city gate guards.

Then lead your people to open the city gate and shoot the loud arrows."

"promise" The person who just spoke responded without any hesitation.

Zheng "kill" The general who decided to attack by force did not hesitate, drew his sword, and rushed out first.

He was Zhang Liao, and those gathered together were the elite of their Bingzhou wolf cavalry.

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

"kill" The elite Qian Bingzhou Wolf Riders did not hesitate when Zhang Liao rushed out.

They drew their weapons and charged towards the city gate, seizing it by force.

"Enemy attack enemy attack" The soldiers guarding the city gate passage also saw Zhang Liao and Qian Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry rushing out.

They could also see the cold and shining sharp blades in their hands, and they shouted directly.

Hundreds of soldiers also raised their weapons and rushed forward.

Dang, Dang, ah At a distance of hundreds of meters, the two parties charged and collided quickly.

The sound of weapons clashing and the screams before death also sounded instantly.

Zhang Liao held a sword in his hand and rushed into the city gate defenders.

Every swing of his sword cost a life.

There was no enemy left.

It was like entering an uninhabited country, or like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was the main fighting force in Bingzhou to resist the Xiongnu's march south.

Not to mention having experienced hundreds of battles, each one of them was a soldier who had experienced bloody battles, let alone one of the elite soldiers.

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

One person led dozens of Bingzhou wolf cavalry elites and rushed towards the city gate.

Zhang Liao took the remaining elite wolf cavalry from Bingzhou, turned around, and stood guard in front of the city gate passage to buy time for the city gate to be opened.

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.

With one charge, less than half of the hundreds of city gate defenders were left.

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

The incident in front of the city gate passage, including the shouts just now, as well as the shouts of killing, screams, and the sound of weapons clashing, also alerted the defenders on the city wall.

Many city wall defenders, led by a partial general, ran down from the city wall and gathered with the remaining city gate defenders.

Looking at the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry who had changed their positions and was guarding in front of the city gate passage, as well as the dozens of people who walked into the city gate passage and wanted to open the city gate.

Although the generals who came down from the city wall did not know why there were enemy troops in the city and they were not a small number, they also knew that they could not hesitate.

It was not the time to consider those things.

The city gate must be recaptured and cannot be left behind by the enemy. hands.

Then he shouted: "Kill" He commanded the city defenders who had followed him down to cover up the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

At the same time, he also grabbed two of his close associates and asked one to quickly report to Chen Ji, while the other quickly went up to the city wall to continue dispatching troops and horses.

"kill" Zhang Liao was not afraid at all as he watched the soldiers who were defending the city being killed.

Holding the sword still dripping with blood, he shouted and rushed out.

"kill" The elite wolf cavalrymen in Bingzhou were all people who had experienced war and baptism of blood.

Facing the soldiers who were defending the city, who were more numerous than them, they did not show any fear.

They waved their weapons and followed Zhang Liao to charge out.

The two armies soon collided with each other.

The battle between the two sides was either life or death.

The sound of the collision of weapons, the sound of sharp blades being inserted into the body, screams, shouts of death, and wails all sounded under this sky, as if forming a beautiful symphony
