272. City broken
With Cao Cao's promise, Li Dian immediately became interested. One day afterwards, Li Dian brought people to attack the city again during the day, and then threw down hundreds of corpses without any effect, and then retreated.
At the same time, through two days of uninterrupted excavation, the tunnel finally dug into Wancheng City. However, after entering the city, Zhang Yu directed the man to dig more carefully, fearing that he would alarm the people in the city.
Finally at night, Zhang Yu and his men dug the tunnel into a courtyard in the city. Taking advantage of the night, Zhang Yu and his men dug the hole open, and then he found that there was no one in the family they came out.
While Zhang Yu brought people to guard the surroundings, he asked someone to go back quickly to report to Cao Hong and Cao Cao. After Cao Cao learned that he had dug up, he was overjoyed! He immediately sent Li Dian to lead a large army to raid, and he must kill all the annoying crossbow soldiers.
Li Dian has been bullied by crossbow soldiers these days and has been furious. Hearing Cao Cao's order, he immediately smiled and led his people down the passage. The road was unobstructed. Before midnight, he led a large group of troops to the small courtyard in the city. The next step was a surprise attack, not only to raid but also to set fire! As long as there was chaos in the city, they could take advantage of the chaos.
Seeing that midnight was getting closer, Li Dian called the two lieutenants who entered the city and ordered them to take people to set fire, while the other was to find out where the crossbow soldiers were! Then he wanted to kill them all!
After giving them instructions, Li Dian patted the two of them on the shoulders and said, "You two must be careful!"
"Don't worry, General Li!" The two of them said in unison. Seeing that they answered simply, Li Dian clicked and waved his hand to signal them to act quickly.
The two of them did not dare to neglect their subordinates and led their subordinates to open the door and then went out. Cao Cao was fighting the army outside the camp and suddenly saw a fire rising in the city. Cao Cao immediately laughed and said, "It's done!"
Then he turned his head and said to Xu Huang: "Gongming will see you next!"
Xu Huang clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, lord, I'll lead the troops there." After saying that, he stopped hesitating, and immediately led a large group of troops to Wancheng and killed him.
The city was already in chaos at this time. As Li Dian led more and more people to set fire, the defenders were busy putting out the fire while preventing sneak attacks. As a result, before they could react, there were fires everywhere in the city. Zhang Ji was awakened in his sleep. He looked up and saw that the sky outside was red by the raging fire!
At this time, Zhang Ji suddenly felt something was wrong, so he immediately stood up and rushed out! When he left the door, he saw that the entire Wancheng was shrouded in chaos! At this time, he heard soldiers shouting: "The city is broken! Run!"
Zhang Ji immediately shouted to the personal guard behind him: "Go to protect your wife quickly, go find Xiu'er, go find Mr. Jia, gather here in a quarter of an hour, let's go out of the city together!"
Zhang Ji's reaction was very timely. At this time, he did not make any unnecessary struggles. Fortunately, he made a decision, otherwise they would probably be trapped in the city!
With a cup of tea, Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu and Zou all arrived here. Zhang Ji immediately ordered everyone to get on the horse, and then killed them under the protection of his personal guards! The streets were full of figures of fighting between the two armies.
Zhang Ji's men shouted and rushed to the south gate. As soon as they left the south gate, they would soon be able to join the Jingzhou army. As they were moving forward, a knight suddenly popped up from a small path, and he rushed straight to Zhang Ji and shot him.
Zhang Ji did not dare to neglect and quickly returned the gun to resist. At this time, a voice sounded behind Zhang Ji: "Uncle, you first! Leave this person to me!" It was not someone else who spoke, but Zhang Xiu. After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, he waved his gun and stopped the man opposite.
The talent on the opposite side, regardless of whether the opponent was Zhang Ji or Zhang Xiu, was his purpose to stop one person. However, Zhang Xiu's gun technique was obviously above his uncle. There were only three or five encounters between people. Zhang Xiu was unwilling to fight, so he suddenly shot and stabbed the man in front of him. However, on the way, Zhang Xiu's big gun suddenly turned into five gun heads and stabbed straight to the man's upper body.
This man obviously didn't expect that Zhang Xiu would use a gun like this. When he found out, he couldn't hide anymore. After a few puffs, the man was shot five times and died immediately after being angry.
Zhang Xiu looked at this person, pulled his gun and rushed forward and killed him. At this time, Li Dian had already reached the garrison of the crossbow soldiers. The crossbow soldiers were awakened by the shouts of killing. Suddenly, he saw an enemy attack and torture, and he automatically resisted. Li Dian finally wiped them out at the cost of nearly 3,000 people.
In this way, the threat of cavalry road was completely lifted, and then Xu Huang led a large group of troops into the city. With Xu Huang's arrival, the people of Wancheng had no more suspense.
Han Fei and others were also awakened by the shouts of killing in the city. He immediately sent someone to see what happened. People who were sent out came to report: "The Cao army has occupied most of Wancheng, and General Zhang and others are unknown at present." Han Fei did not rashly send troops to rescue him, but sent people to pick them up outside the city gate. Sure enough, not long after, he received news: Zhang Ji led people to protect Jia Xu and Zou's family and ran out of the city.
Seeing them escape, Han Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and then he asked Jia Xu: "Wenhe? How do you think we will act next?"
Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "For the sake of the current plan, I have to retreat. I would like to leave first!"
Han Fei felt that was the same, so he ordered someone to ask for instructions from Liu Qi. Liu Qi was just not interested. When he heard Han Fei's request, he nodded and agreed. Seeing that Liu Qi agreed, Han Fei was about to order the army to retreat.
At this time, Zhang Ji ran over and said, "Military Han, Xiu'er is still in the city!"
"Aren't you together? Why did he stay in the city by himself?" Han Fei asked hurriedly as soon as he heard this. Zhang Ji quickly told Zhao Yun. After hearing this, Han Fei said to Zhao Yun: "General Zhao still needs you to use this time. Go and get that embroidery out!"
Zhao Yun nodded and then rode alone in the city. Besides, Zhang Xiu, after he killed the man, he suddenly remembered that the crossbow soldiers were still in the north of the city, so he went to kill here. As a result, when he arrived, there were no living people here. Zhang Xiu was furious and killed several Cao army soldiers in succession. When he was about to turn around and leave, Li Dian led his people to kill him. When he saw Zhang Xiu, he was very happy, so he commanded the army to run towards Zhang Xiu and surrounded him.
Zhang Xiu did not dare to fight, and retreated to the south of the city. However, Li Dian and his men chased each other and wanted to take Zhang Xiu down. As they chased and fled, they arrived at the center of Wancheng. At this time, Li Dian and his men finally surrounded Zhang Xiu!
