Chapter 54: The City Falls
Gu Chengze climbed up the wall and looked down. Only two soldiers were stationed below. He took two stones from his pocket and threw them directly at their heads. The two soldiers fell down immediately. He jumped down, tied the rope to a tree, and threw the other end over.
On this side, "Hey, Qin You, is Captain Gu so powerful?" Most people can't jump up this city wall with just one jump.
"Haha, that's how he is. Haha." He touched his head, laughed, and fooled it away, "Look, the rope is coming, let's go quickly." As soon as he saw the rope thrown over, he quickly grabbed it and climbed up the city wall.
Everyone stopped talking and began to climb up, taking up their ropes. The mission was more important now. Seeing several people jump down, he commanded, "Let's move forward, and try not to alert anyone." He also hid the fallen soldier.
"Hey." Qin You lowered his voice.
"Let's go." They took an inconspicuous path. There were soldiers patrolling the road, so they didn't walk very fast. Finally, they reached the city gate. Sure enough, it was heavily guarded. While there weren't many soldiers guarding the city walls, there were several patrols going back and forth. They couldn't rush yet; they had to wait until dawn before taking action.
"When do we take action?" one of them asked, staring at the situation outside.
"Wait until dawn. Our army will be ready at dawn and then we can open the city gate." Gu Chengze was also watching the situation outside, not missing any opportunity to take advantage of.
"Why."
General Wang on this side summoned all the generals and informed them of his previous decision. One of the generals slammed the table and said, "How stupid! What if the plan fails and they defend more strictly?" The others also echoed that this would only make the battle more difficult.
"That's not the case. We don't have any way to attack right now. It doesn't hurt to try this strategy. If it succeeds, that would be great." One of them expressed a different opinion.
"That sounds nice, but that's when we succeed. What if we fail? Are you responsible?"
"Why not do it now? What else do you have? If you have an idea, just tell me. Why are you just meddling in my affairs?"
"you…"
"Alright." Seeing that they were about to quarrel, General Wang quickly stopped them, "Yes, although this plan is a bit reckless, there is no other way at this time. It can't be that bad. Whether it succeeds or not, we will know at dawn." Although the plan was a bit rough, he didn't know why he always felt that it would not fail. However, marching and fighting require facts. He couldn't tell them about this illusory feeling, and it would sound ridiculous if he did.
"Well, now that things have come to this, we can only wait." The general who retorted sat down angrily.
When it was almost dawn, the kitchen camp became busy again, making sure the three armies were well fed and well-watered, ready for battle and to set off at any time. General Wang rode his horse and looked towards the city gate in front of him, thinking to himself, Gu Chengze, it's almost dawn, you'd better hurry.
"General, is there any sound ahead?" A soldier standing next to General Wang asked nervously.
"Sound?" He calmed down and listened quietly. Sure enough, the sound of fighting came from the front. At this time, Gu Chengze and others took action, "Archers, get ready, shoot down the people on the city wall!" The archers stepped forward, put arrows on their bows, and screams were heard. People on the city wall fell down one after another.
"General, the city gate is open." General Wang looked over and found that the city gate had been opened a little and was slowly opening. He knew at a glance that the plan was successful.
"Soldiers, listen up, follow me!" Now that it has come to this, he can't drag his feet. He must win this battle today.
This time the morale was restored and even higher than last time. They rushed into the city with unstoppable force.
"Report, King, something bad has happened. The King of Qi's army is coming." A soldier came running over.
Chen Fei stood up immediately after hearing this and asked, "Where are we?"
"Report to the king, they have entered the city."
"Where is General Cheng?" This General Cheng is indeed unreliable.
"General Cheng is fighting with someone at the city gate, but..." The soldier hesitated and didn't dare to say it out loud.
"What's wrong? Tell me!" Even at this time, he still didn't dare to say anything.
"General Cheng originally discovered that someone had attacked him secretly, and wanted to kill them. Unexpectedly, he was killed in return. The person pierced the general's throat with a small stone. Now we are leaderless and can only be slaughtered!" Moreover, those generals were all good-looking but useless. Seeing the enemy coming, they were so scared that they couldn't even hold their weapons. Only General Cheng was left, but General Cheng had already been defeated.
When Chen Fei heard the news, his vision went dark. The soldier saw this and quickly stepped forward to support him. "Wang, you must take care of yourself. We still need you to take charge of the situation!" Chen Fei sat down under the force and ordered the soldier, "Hurry and call General Chen!"
"Why!"
General Cheng was actually dead. He had also witnessed General Cheng's abilities, and it seemed they were superior. As for the others, forget it, don't count on them. "Brother Chen! Are you looking for me?" Chen Dahu was also extremely anxious at this time. This person had come to his door.
"Da Hu, have you found the place?" Chen Da Hu knew what it meant as soon as he heard it. "I found it."
"Dahu, the best thing for us now is to run away." It turned out that what Fade asked Chen Dahu to do that day was to find an escape route.
"But Brother Chen, what about these soldiers?" After all, Chen Dahu is a man who values friendship, and it is impossible for him to leave so easily.
Chen Fei was anxious. "Da Hu, if we are still alive, we will never be able to save our brothers. And you know General Cheng has been killed. Do we have anyone who can compare to General Cheng? And these people won't kill us all. They will definitely spare some of our men and recruit them into the army."
Chen Dahu thought for a moment. He was no fool and knew the current situation. Naturally, saving his life was the most important thing. "Brother Chen, let's go. Let's go this way quietly."
"Oh." It seems that Da Hu also knows the importance of the matter. He took some more silver and put it in his pocket.
The war lasted for half a day, but half a day was very fast for them. After all, they killed several leaders, and the rest were leaderless, so they naturally surrendered.
"Reporting to the General, we haven't found Chen Fei and Chen Dahu."
It seems that Chen Fei has escaped. He still wants to be king? "Order them to search carefully. It's okay if they can't find them." After all, the city and the people have been captured, so those two people can't cause any trouble.
Qin You said with a flattering look on his face, "Brother, you have to take me with you when you get promoted!" This man came up with this plan, opened the city gate, and killed the leader. It was estimated that he would be promoted again, but he didn't know to what level.
