Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 218
Seeing the fiery snake soaring into the sky, Zhou Yu recognized that it was in the direction of the city gate, and his eyes tightened suddenly. What is this?
The fire snake rushed to the sky, made a loud noise without warning, and exploded suddenly, forming a huge spark in the air, which lasted for a long time.

Then another fire snake soared upwards and exploded again. The two sparkled each other in the air, and after a while, it slowly dimmed.

Zhou Yu didn't know what it was, but it was definitely not a rocket. A rocket could not fly so high, nor would it explode in the air so that it could be seen from far away.

His heart tightened, something happened!
He galloped his horse into the barracks and shouted, "All follow me!"

Including the drunken corporal leader, they began to search for armor and weapons in a frenzy. Zhou Yu was glad that he was still here, and there was still room for redemption!
Seeing that the soldiers were moving fast or slow, he said decisively: "Get ready, follow me first, to the direction of the south gate!"

After hearing this, the soldiers raised their weapons and followed Zhou Yu up the long street towards the city gate.

At this time, Yuan Xi saw two fireworks in the city on the deck, and was overjoyed. He immediately ordered someone to light a firework, and a fire snake rushed into the sky.

Several merchant ships that were slowly approaching before suddenly accelerated and crashed into the pier, and quickly opened the deck. Soldiers in full costume jumped onto the pier, raised their knives and charged at the still ignorant Sun Ce soldiers, chopping them to the ground one by one. Instantly took control of the pier.

Yuan Xi shouted loudly: "Rush to the city gate!"

The soldiers shouted and rushed towards the city gate several miles away.

At this moment at the south gate, Tian Yu raised his knife and shouted: "Block them, in half an hour, the reinforcements will arrive!"

But Tian Yu had no idea. They risked the lives of several spies, killed more than a dozen gatekeepers as quickly as possible, opened the city gate, and immediately released fireworks. They thought it was fast enough.

But as luck would have it, a general patrolled nearby with a hundred cavalry, and the two sides collided head-on!

On the opposite side were heavily armed cavalry, but Tian Yu's side was full of civilians, and he fell into a disadvantage as soon as they fought. Seeing the opposite side surrounded him, let alone half a quarter of an hour, there were more than [-] people here, and they couldn't even hold on to a cup of tea. arrive!
Tian Yu looked back at the pier. The soldiers were running towards here, but it was obviously too late. Once these people died, the city gate would be closed immediately.

His heart was broken, and he shouted: "The battle to the death will not retreat, even if you die on the gate, you will not be able to close the city gate!"

All of his subordinates suddenly let out an angry roar: "No!"

The general on the opposite side was Qiao Rui, who was leading troops on patrol. When he saw this, he yelled angrily, "You're looking for death!"

"Everyone follow me to kill the thief, close the city gate immediately!"

The cavalrymen under him suddenly agreed, and then rode their horses around.

Tian Yu was holding a dagger, and when he was in despair, he heard the ground behind him begin to tremble faintly.

He turned around and looked overjoyed, Tai Shici came with cavalry!

He thought Tai Shici was hiding far away, but it turned out that he was very close to the city gate, and he didn't know how he hid his whereabouts.

Just as Qiao Rui led his troops to the gate of the city, he saw a group of cavalry appearing out of nowhere. They had already rushed a mile away from the gate, and it was too late to close the gate!
After hesitating for a while, he took off the longbow on his back and shouted: "Shoot an arrow to stop them!" At the same time, he raised his hand and shot an arrow, aiming at the leader Tai Shici.

Taishi Ci turned sideways, dodged the arrow, and had already grasped the longbow in his hand with his backhand. At the sound of the bowstring, almost at the same time, Taishi Ci's arrow had been shot, and shot into the head of the horse on the bridge!
The horse neighed miserably and fell backwards. Qiao Rui lost his balance and fell down in a state of embarrassment.

He was still in mid-air, when there was another sound of strings, Tai Shici's second arrow had arrived, and it hit Qiao Rui's chest viciously!

There was a loud bang, and although the arrow was blocked by the armor, Qiao Rui was so shaken by the huge impact that he was almost breathless, couldn't stand firmly, and fell to the ground.

He managed to get up, but saw another arrow flying towards his face, he couldn't help but be distraught, he twisted his body vigorously, managed to dodge, but saw that Tai Shici had already charged in front of him with a gun!
Qiao Rui let out a loud roar, grabbed the iron gun to block it a few times, and then was exhausted, and was knocked down by Tai Shici.

His soldiers still wanted to rescue each other, but they were rushed by the cavalry behind Tai Shici, and the screams were endless.

Seeing that Qiao Rui still wanted to struggle, Tian Yu went up and slapped the opponent's helmet with a knife, knocking him unconscious on the ground.

He led his men to tie up Qiao Rui, at this time Yuan Xicai rushed to the door with everyone.

Seeing that Tai Shici had charged into the city on his horse, Yuan Xi heaved a sigh of relief, asked Tian Yu to put on the armor he had brought, and ordered people to guard the city gate, and then joined forces and entered the city.

As soon as Zhou Yu led his troops to the south gate, he saw Qiao Rui being kicked off his horse by the opponent. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead, so he couldn't help feeling cold.

The other party came too fast!
And looking at it like this, the enemies were all battle-tested generals, and they cooperated very tacitly. Qiao Rui was only close to closing the city gate, but the opponent didn't even give him this time!

Zhou Yu saw that Tai Shici's cavalry split into three groups as soon as they entered the gate, two groups galloped along the city wall, and all the way came straight to him. He immediately understood that the opponent wanted to control the other three city gates to prevent the soldiers in the city from escaping!

This is too confident, right?

Zhou Yu made a decisive decision and shouted to the soldiers: "Stop them, come and follow me, go to the North City Gate!"

After speaking, he turned around and ran away.

Zhou Yu thought very clearly that as Yuan Shu's general, Qiao Rui had extraordinary martial arts skills, and even he couldn't survive a few tricks. He didn't know martial arts, so staying here was just delivering food. Guangling was finished!
The current plan is to take Mrs. Wu and escape through the North City Gate!

Without even thinking about it, he beat his horse desperately and rushed towards the city lord's mansion.

Tai Shici led the cavalry, saw the direction in which Zhou Yu was fleeing, and ordered everyone to chase after him.

The soldiers left behind by Zhou Yu saw them and tried their best to stop them. Sun Ce had always been very kind to them, and now it's time for them to serve!

When Tian Yu arrived, Tai Shici had already killed seven or eight of the soldiers who blocked him, and chased after him on horseback.

Tian Yu saw dozens of soldiers' corpses scattered about on the ground, and suddenly his eyes narrowed, and he found one of them with the same face as Shi Zhang who was drinking with him in a restaurant during the day, so he couldn't help sighing.

When they entered the city, they indeed handed over their weapons, but while Tian Yu was pestering him to drink, other spies took the opportunity to go to the blacksmith's shop to buy some short knives and iron stabs.

Although it is not as effective as a long knife, it is enough to kill people by hiding on the body.

Tian Yu and others took advantage of the dark night, hid the short knife and dagger on their bodies, rushed to the city gate at the appointed time, killed the guards, lit fireworks, opened the city gate, and welcomed Yuan Xitai Shici into the city.

Although there was a variable Qiao Rui in the middle, Tai Shici came much faster than expected, and broke through the city gate in one fell swoop.

Zhou Yu was beating his horse desperately, he felt that the enemy behind him would soon come after him, he must take Madam Wu away as soon as possible!

After a while, he rushed to the city lord's mansion. At this time, the sound of fighting in the city had been heard in the mansion, and the servants had already opened the gate and fled. The whole mansion was empty.

Zhou Yu didn't stop, and rode his horse into the gate of the courtyard. He yelled and saw Mrs. Wu coming out with her baby in her arms. escape!"

Mrs. Wu heard this, but hesitated for a moment, and said decisively: "Leave me alone, Gong Jin, ride a horse and go!"

Zhou Yu was stunned: "Ma'am, what does this mean?"

Mrs. Wu looked resolute, "Gongjin, I'm just a useless woman, but you can't die, Bofu needs you to achieve great things!"

Zhou Yu said shyly, "Madam, if you are caught and recognize you, you will be used to blackmail Bofu!"

Madam Wu's expression turned cold: "When that day really comes, I will commit suicide!"

"Besides, I rarely see people. All the servants have run away. I will find a way to hide my identity."

"It's different for you, the whole city recognizes you!"

After Zhou Yu heard this, she still wanted to speak, Madam Wu said decisively: "Don't persuade me, even if we share a horse, we will be overtaken by the other side!"

And with her status, it is impossible to share a horse with other men.

"Please help Bofu well, the Sun family will rely on Mr. Gongjin!"

Zhou Yu heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and knew that he couldn't hesitate any longer, so he could only make up his mind and said, "Madam, please take care. After I go back, I and Bo Fu will do everything possible to rescue Madam!"

Madam Wu saw Zhou Yu get on the horse and said, "Don't save me, or the enemy will guess that I'm trapped here!"

"After you go back, you must let Bo Fu let out the news that he saw me die in the chaos!"

"Only by doing so, will the enemy relax and we will have a chance to escape!"

"Come on!"

Zhou Yu listened, with tears in his eyes, gritted his teeth and rode out of the gate of the mansion, and fled to the north gate of the city.

Along the way, he saw the chaos in the city, and the corpses of soldiers were everywhere. He couldn't help feeling hot in his chest, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

His heart was full of resentment and resentment. Guangling, who he thought was the safest place, was lost like this!

I still lost it in my own hands!
That day, I let Zhang Fei fall into the trap of losing Xiapi Tancheng. At that time, I laughed at Zhang Fei, but I didn't expect that the retribution would come to me in a blink of an eye!

Where did the enemy come from, and why did they appear in Guangling without warning?
If you come from Haixi in the north, there are so many spies in the middle, how can you not see it?

If they come from the south, are all the soldiers patrolling the river dereliction of duty?

The more Zhou Yu thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. He was conceited that he was a natural talent, and he had never been defeated since he came out of the mountains. In the end, he lost everything. Not only the entire army was wiped out, but Mrs. Wu was also folded in the city!
How can I face Sun Ce when I go back by myself?

He couldn't help roaring angrily. Hearing that there seemed to be cavalry chasing behind him, he hurriedly hit his horse desperately and fled towards Tancheng.

When Yuan Xi rushed to the city, he found that he still underestimated Sun Ce's soldiers' will to resist.

The sneak attack process was perfect, almost no mistakes were made, and Tai Shici was much faster than expected, but even so, the thousand soldiers on his side could not completely suppress the thousands of soldiers in the city, and Sun Ce's army resisted even more. It was fierce, and it took Tai Shici and Tian Yu a lot of effort to defeat him.

However, quite a few soldiers and civilians escaped from the north gate before Yuan Xi arrived.

Tai Shici went out of the city to pursue, but there were dense forests and rivers outside the city, and the people scattered and fled again. After chasing for a while, Tai Shici had to return and calm down the city first.

By dawn, Yuan Xijun had already controlled the four gates and successfully captured Guangling City.
