At the same time that Wu Yan gave the order.
Liu Zhong had already led two hundred troops toward the city gate at top speed.
City gates have always been crucial for defending a city.
Therefore, Wuyan did not trust these surrendered soldiers, and instead sent three separate Xiongnu hundred-man squads to guard the area.
As the wind blew, the bright moonlight in the sky was obscured by dark clouds.
The surroundings were pitch black, as if they had been soaked in ink.
The Xiongnu guards suddenly noticed that hundreds of black dots were rapidly approaching on the distant horizon.
To avoid leaks, Wuyan did not inform his men of the plan to massacre Han Chinese generals who had surrendered that night.
So when the Xiongnu guards at the city gate saw Liu Zhong charging menacingly towards them, they instinctively assumed he was there to reinforce and relieve the garrison.
Therefore, they did not step forward to stop him immediately, which gave Liu Zhong a huge opportunity.
At this moment, the city gate of Gongzhou was almost in sight, and the flames burning on both sides illuminated the Xiongnu people on the city wall.
After the distance between the two sides closed a few points.
The Xiongnu guards were shocked to discover that these men were all clad in armor and wielding weapons, and did not seem to be there to relieve the guards. They immediately roared in anger.
What are you trying to do?
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Zhong preemptively roared.
"Release the arrows!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Arrows flew through the darkness!
In an instant, he turned the Huns in front of him into pincushions!
Before the Xiongnu could react, Liu Zhong had already rushed forward.
The long sword in his hand stirred up a gust of wind in the darkness.
Without any hesitation, the long sword instantly sliced open the neck of a Xiongnu man blocking his way.
Blood splattered on Liu Zhong's face!
Warm blood and gore—that's the best stimulant for warriors!
In an instant, the two hundred followers behind them swarmed forward!
Fast! Ruthless! Accurate! Steady!
The Xiongnu guards were completely taken aback by Liu Zhong's surprise attack!
At this moment, they had no idea what had happened, or how the friendly forces in the city had suddenly betrayed them.
At this moment, Liu Zhong calmly gave the order.
"Fifty men, follow me to open the city gates; the rest of you, charge up the city walls and light the lanterns!"
"I obey!"
The order was transmitted in an instant!
The two hundred books were immediately divided into three directions.
More than seventy troops on each side charged up from the bottom and occupied the city wall.
Liu Zhong personally led his troops in an attack on the Xiongnu people guarding the city gate.
Only then did the Xiongnu guards realize what was happening!
The Han Chinese general in front of us has rebelled! He wants to open the city gates to let in the army outside!
Upon realizing this, the Xiongnu centurion in charge of guarding the city gate immediately roared.
"Kill all these traitors!"
In an instant! The two groups clashed.
The space inside the doorway was already extremely narrow, and there was absolutely no room for the two sides to dodge.
At this moment, the only effective method is the purest form of hacking and slashing!
Liu Zhong's troops were all brave and fierce, but the Xiongnu people responsible for guarding the city were no less so.
For a moment, the two sides were at a stalemate!
Meanwhile, the fighting on the city wall above the gate was equally intense.
Hearing the shouts of battle, the Xiongnu people continued to converge towards the city gate.
Fortunately, the city walls were also narrow, and Liu Zhong's troops took advantage of the terrain due to the surprise attack, which largely made up for the difference in numbers between the two sides.
In the midst of the battle, two henchmen quickly stepped forward and pulled out two large red lanterns that they had prepared beforehand.
After blowing on the tinderbox to start it, light it immediately, and then lower two large red lanterns down.
In the vast darkness of the night, these two large red lanterns stood out like lighthouses.
Inside the vanguard camp outside Gongzhou City, Zhang Han, clad in armor, stared intently.
Kneeling before him was Liu Zhong's trusted confidant, who had come during the day.
Just then, Lu Yunxue hurriedly walked in from outside the door.
"Reporting to the commander! The lanterns on Gongzhou City are lit!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhong's confidant, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately shouted.
"General! A letter has arrived from my master! This is an opportunity not to be missed!"
The camp, which had been filled with exhausted vanguard generals, was instantly emptied.
Everyone turned to look at Zhang Han, who was seated in the main seat.
The entire army of 30,000 men has been working tirelessly for seven or eight hours to prepare for tonight's siege!
Zhang Han looked around calmly.
Whether tonight is a trap set by the Xiongnu or not, now is the best time to attack the city!
Without any hesitation, Zhang Han fully demonstrated the courage and decisiveness of a commander-in-chief!
This was something he had learned from Mu Zi'an not long ago.
Outside the tent, the cold wind howled, but inside, the fighting spirit was high!
Zhang Han stood up, drew his sword from his waist, and roared!
"Raise an army! Attack the city!"
The next moment! In the darkness outside Gongzhou City, countless pairs of eyes flashed with cold sharpness!
Thirty thousand fully armored elite troops of the Beijing Garrison! They were like ferocious tigers ready to devour their prey!
And the meat they are about to divide up right now is the city of Gongzhou!
With Zhang Han's command, Lu Yunxue, who had been suppressing her frustration for a long time, took the lead in attacking!
She will prove herself in this battle! She will show that all her military achievements are earned through her own hard work and fighting!
For Wu Yan, tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night!
The moment he learned that Liu Zhong hadn't come, he knew something terrible was going to happen!
Even though he reacted quickly, it was too late!
When Arudun led his troops into Liu Zhong's mansion, the mansion was already deserted!
