Outside the city of Tai'an, a team of about 300 people wearing uniforms and armors of the government soldiers rode horses and rushed to the city gate. The team of soldiers and horses was a bit messy, everyone was panting and their armor was uneven.
The government troops guarding the gate of Tai'an City ordered the government troops and horses to stop. After that, a veteran general in general uniform ran out from among the government troops and horses below the city and chatted impatiently with the soldiers at the city gate.
"Open the city gate quickly, General Helan Changan!" Helan Changan gasped.
"General Helan?" The guard at the top of the city used the light from the torch to take a closer look. It turned out to be Helan Chang'an!
"General Helan, could it be that something happened in Zuozhen?" An ominous premonition surged in the guard general's heart.
Helan Chang'an, who was originally responsible for guarding Zuozhen, appeared in Tai'an, and seeing Helan Changan's embarrassed appearance, if nothing happened to Zuozhen, the guard said that he could eat "Xiang" live in public.
"General, please open the city quickly. We will go into the city and discuss it in detail!" Helan Changan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear.
"Quick! Open the city gate!"
"You! Go and report to General Chu!" the guard said anxiously.
Since Jiming and Yecheng, even Zuozhen has had troubles. This matter is a huge one, and Chu Jingzhong must be informed as soon as possible.
Huangfu Wugui led most of Tai'an's soldiers and horses to leave, and also gathered scattered soldiers and horses from all over Hebei Province. Although Huangfu Wugui left, Tai'an City had to defend.
Therefore, there are still three thousand soldiers and horses stationed in Tai'an City under the leadership of Chu Jingzhong.
And Helan Chang'an was also a senior general among the Hebei Daofu Army. Most of the generals in the Hebei Daofu Army recognized him, and this guard was no exception. Therefore, there was not much suspicion, and he was easily captured.
This detachment from Helan Chang'an opened the city gate.
Among this group of people, there was an ugly man who looked like a little giant. He walked slowly with the cavalry. When all the troops entered the city, the city guard came down to greet them.
Suddenly, the giant man got angry and raised the door-shutter that weighed more than a hundred kilograms. The bloody force surged towards the city gate guard. Before the city gate guard could react, he was chopped off his head with a single blow.
Blood flew, and with the sudden attack of the huge man, the three hundred fake soldiers of the government who had just entered Tai'an City also started to use their hands, and in twos and threes, they subdued the dozens of defenders guarding the city gate.
This giant man is one of Wang Yu's earliest god-level warriors, Big Mac.
At the beginning, they followed Wang Yu in Yannan Road. However, in order to catch Hebei Road off guard, Wang Yu did not return to Hebei Road at the first time.
However, as the wars have begun one after another, in addition to Guan Yu who is recovering from his injuries, powerful generals such as Big Mac and Odysseus have also returned one after another.
Han Xin has a huge appetite. What he wants is not just Zuozhen City, but also Tai'an City, and even the final Huangfu Wugui.
After Helan Chang'an surrendered, Han Xin's next plan could begin. That was to use Helan Chang'an to deceive the gates of Tai'an and capture the last of the three cities.
However, if the troops were mobilized by Han Xin, it would be too slow. By the time Helan Changan arrived at Tai'an City, the news of Helan Changan's surrender had already spread.
Therefore, Han Xin had no intention of launching an army himself. Instead, he handed over this important task to Wen Zhong. Helan Chang'an quickly met Wen Zhong, and then deceived the gates of Tai'an City. With what was left in Tai'an City,
With some troops, as long as the city gate can be faked open, then having three thousand black knights is enough to solve the remaining problems.
"Open the city gate and let General Wen's troops enter the city."
Big Mac shouted loudly, and immediately two black cavalry wearing government armor opened the city gate. Not far away, Wen Zhong led a large number of black armored cavalry and charged at full speed.
After Wen Zhong saw Helan Chang'an falsely opening the city gate and leading his troops into the city, he was already prepared. At this time, the city gate opened wide, and Wen Zhong directly led the cavalry behind him and rushed into the city gate at the fastest speed.
Moreover, at this time, the Tai'an City garrison soldiers had not yet figured out the situation. Why did this group of "ones" who had just entered the city suddenly rebel and open the city gate wide to let the enemy troops in. The defenders near the city gate fell into chaos.
among.
Big Mac led the black cavalry to charge in the city, while Wen Zhong led some of the cavalry to dismount and fight at the city gate. Both Big Mac and Wen Zhong were the black cavalry under his command. They had experienced battles for a long time, and in this life
They experienced fierce battles and countless dangerous battles, and there was no need to be merciful and polite. The fighting could hardly arouse their emotions. The killing was so shocking that the whole city was shaken by the screams of the defenders.
In the city lord's palace, the lights in the study were still on. Chu Jingzhong was not sleepy at all because he was concerned about the progress of the situation.
Several city officials chatted with them, hoping that the rebels could be put down as soon as possible, otherwise it would be useless to continue fighting like this.
Chu Jingzhong was dealing with various trivial matters in the city these days, but the panicked shouts of his guards could be heard outside the study: "General, it's bad, the bandits have entered the city."
In the silence of the second half of the night, the guards' voices sounded sharp and piercing, and the news they conveyed was so shocking that several of the subordinates were already jumping up like rabbits in fright.
Chu Jingzhong was also so shocked that he almost stumbled and fell off the Grand Master's chair. Now there were only three thousand soldiers in the city.
If the enemy army did not open the city gate, even if the enemy army attacked in large numbers, Chu Jingzhong would be sure to hold on for a certain period of time and try to buy Chu Jingzhong as much time as possible.
But once the city gate is opened and the enemy forces enter the city, his current military disadvantage will be revealed.
"What to do! What to do?" Chu Jingzhong felt a headache and couldn't think of any good way to break the situation.
In just a moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the city lord's palace, and the voices of crying fathers and mothers gradually became louder, and the sky-high fire light ignited from the north, illuminating the windows of the study.
The blazing firelight filtered through the window, and Chu Jingzhong remained calm, while the remaining officials were stunned with shock.
At this moment, Captain Zheng Lang suddenly rushed in with a dozen soldiers.
The dozen or so soldiers behind him were even more miserable. Two of them were even barefoot. It looked like they had been woken up from their sleep and ran here without having time to put on their shoes in the dark.
As soon as he saw Chu Jingzhong, Zheng Lang said sternly: "General..."
