The battle between Hua Xiong and Sun Jian continued until the sun went down, and Xiao Ziyu had to sigh that their physical strength was extraordinary.
And Xiao Ziyu knew that if it hadn't been getting dark, the two of them might have continued to fight.
"This person is very powerful!"
After coming back dripping with sweat, Hua Xiong responded truthfully to Xiao Ziyu's question, but his face was indeed full of excitement at this moment. It was obvious that today's battle made him very excited.
"Haha! Zijian, you have also been fighting for a day. Go back and have a good rest. Today I will keep an eye on you to prevent Sun Jian from attacking at night."
Xiao Ziyu patted Hua Xiong on the shoulder and said.
"How can that be done?" Hua Xiong suddenly became anxious when he heard this. Dong Zhuo had originally given him the task of guarding the city, but now Xiao Ziyu was asked to help him keep watch. Hua Xiong suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Haha! Okay, Zijian, you better have a good rest. The enemy's defense tomorrow will still depend on you. I don't like killing very much."
Xiao Ziyu held Hua Xiong's shoulders and pushed him away.
"Then I'll trouble Mr. Ziyu." Seeing this, Hua Xiong had no choice but to leave. He did feel a little tired. After all, he had been fighting for a day, especially against an enemy who was about the same strength as himself.
My energy and spirit have been tense all the time, but now that I have relaxed, I certainly feel a little sleepy all over my body.
······
Late at night, dark clouds covered the moon, making the sky and earth extremely dark. The north wind was blowing, and the soldiers guarding the city looked listless.
"He actually came!"
Xiao Ziyu, who was resting in the building, suddenly opened his eyes and murmured something.
His actions immediately attracted the person who had been waiting beside him. This person was Hua Xiong's deputy general and the top general who was currently watching the night.
Before leaving, Hua Xiong specifically told him to listen to Xiao Ziyu's words and asked him to stay by Xiao Ziyu's side and listen to orders at any time.
Regarding Hua Xiong's words, Zhang Yuan, as the deputy general, was not dissatisfied at all. He was also considered a senior officer in the army and of course he knew Xiao Ziyu's identity.
Moreover, he also learned from Hua Xiong's mouth that Xiao Ziyu's strength was even more powerful than the adopted son of their prime minister, Flying General.
Although he believed that this was deliberately exaggerated by his general, after all, Lu Bu's strength was really demonstrated in Xiliang's army.
He didn't think Xiao Ziyu had such strength, especially when Xiao Ziyu was dressed like a scribe, which made it even more difficult for people to believe.
In his eyes, Xiao Ziyu is more like a counselor, especially since he heard Hua Xiong call Xiao Ziyu sir.
This is a title that only military advisors in their army have.
Therefore, in Zhang Yuan's eyes, Xiao Ziyu must be a strategist accompanying the army. The reason why his general told him that Xiao Ziyu was strong was just to hope that he would listen to the former's words.
"Sir, what's the matter?"
But no matter what, Zhang Yuan still respected Xiao Ziyu, so when he saw Xiao Ziyu suddenly muttering to himself, he immediately sent a greeting.
"The enemy is coming to attack at night. Go organize it and don't let the enemy succeed." Xiao Ziyu said calmly.
However, this sentence shocked Zhang Yuan, but he felt relieved when he remembered Xiao Ziyu's identity. He knew that those counselors had abilities that their generals did not have.
So he believed Xiao Ziyu's words in an instant, and then immediately ran out of the city and had someone blow the horn, and all the listless city guards suddenly woke up.
"Damn it, I was discovered. Is there an expert in the pass?"
Cheng Pu saw the torches on the wall of Sishui Pass shining like daylight, and he immediately understood that their sneak attack had failed and had been discovered.
He couldn't figure out why someone would still find out that the sky had been changed by his counselors and they didn't make any noise.
But there is no use worrying about this at this moment.
Now he only has two ways, one is to retreat, because in the dark night, the army at Sishui Pass will definitely not dare to chase him out.
But if this was the case, he was very unwilling to do so. He finally had a chance. During the day, their lord had already consumed the general in Si Shui Pass, and now he was probably lying on the bed.
It's their best chance to attack.
So in the end, Cheng Pu gritted his teeth and chose the second option, which was to continue the attack. He believed that the opponent had just discovered that they had already rushed under the city wall.
They quickly rushed to the city wall, taking advantage of the fact that the opponent hadn't fully prepared their defenses yet, maybe they still had a chance.
"Keep charging. Whoever can climb the city wall first will be rewarded with three levels and a reward of ten taels of gold." Cheng Pu suddenly roared and encouraged the soldiers behind him.
"Kill~"
After hearing Cheng Pu's words, the soldiers immediately picked up the ladder with a roar, and rushed up the ladder one by one desperately, heading towards the city.
However, this time, they were destined not to succeed. Xiao Ziyu had reminded Hua Xiong before that the enemy might attack at night. Hua Xiong also gave a special warning when he went back.
The defenders at Sishui Pass were also ready after Xiao Ziyu informed them.
So in the end, Cheng Pu's night attack failed and thousands of soldiers were left behind. Seeing that there was no hope at all, Cheng Pu also left secretly.
Of course, if he doesn't leave, Xiao Ziyu will be ready to take action.
This guy's strength is pretty good, he can reach the top level of a second-rate general. Apart from Hua Xiong, there really is no other general in the entire Sishui Pass who can resist him.
Of course, except for Xiao Ziyu, in fact, no soldier in the entire Bishui Pass regarded Xiao Ziyu as a general. They all had preconceived notions that Xiao Ziyu was a counselor.
Came to assist their general Hua Xiong.
"Sir, the enemy has been repulsed"
After Zhang Yuan ordered the soldiers around him to clean up the battlefield, he immediately came to Xiao Ziyu and asked him for instructions.
This time, if it weren't for Xiao Ziyu's reminder, they might not have been able to find out until Cheng Pu and the others stormed the city wall.
By that time, it will be troublesome. Even if they can repel the enemy, they may suffer heavy losses.
Unlike now, they not only repelled the enemy's night attack, but also annihilated thousands of enemies, while they themselves only lost two to three hundred people at most.
And among them, there were dozens of people who were killed by Cheng Pu alone.
Regarding the enemy general, Zhang Yuan also went to fight him. Of course, he was not the only one, but he joined several other lieutenant colonels to fight against that general. But even so, there were still two of them.
Suffered a little injury.
"How's the damage?"
Xiao Ziyu didn't look back at him, but asked directly.
"We lost more than two hundred brothers and killed thousands of enemy troops," Zhang Yuan answered honestly.
