Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 203 City Gate
Dark night enveloped the entire Lingzhi.

The strong smell of blood filled the city wall, and buckets of water mixed with wine were splashed on the blood stains pulled out.

After a while, the soldiers who had just disappeared from this small section of the city wall came back again, but their armor and clothes didn't fit so well.

The battlements on the city wall were lit with lights, and one could faintly see one person lying down and the other sitting. The two passed cups and cups, and from time to time there was the sound of rustling conversations or mixed with men's laughter.

On the right side of the city gate, someone stood in the darkness, lit a pine torch, and swayed greatly according to a specific rhythm.

The young man who had killed Chengmen Wei with one blow earlier put on the two pieces of armor that Chengmen Wei had piled up in the corner of the room.

"Brother, you are really sloppy." The young man smelled the strong smell of sweat coming from his armor, frowned, and said to the body of the Chengmen Lieutenant lying on his back on the couch.

A sweat towel was stuffed into the wound on the corpse's chin. The blood and other turbid fluids in the wound did not flow out too much. Only the eyes were bulging, and two lines of blood slid down the corners of the eyes into the temples.

"The two armies are fighting, no one can blame them."

The young man casually pulled off a flag that was placed on the couch, covered it on the face of the city gate captain, and strode out.

As soon as he walked out, he saw a tall and strong man walking over wearing the armor of a city guard.

"General Zhonglang, everything has been cooked." As he said this, the tall and strong man made a gesture in front of his throat with his thumb.

These people are all selected warriors, and they are all officers above the squadron captain of Yuan's army.

Just like the tall and strong man in front of me, he was once an old thief in the Yellow Turban Army.

None of the dirty work skills were lost, and he did it beautifully.

"it is good!"

At this time, the young man's face no longer had the same smile as before. He put the Chengmen Lieutenant's sweat-smelling robe over his head and adjusted his clothes and armor.

"Is there a response from outside?" He said, took the long knife handed from the side, walked to the soldier who sent the signal and asked.

Before he finished speaking, he saw a light of fire in the distance responding, gesturing with the military flag.

Seeing this, the young man finally felt relieved.

As the flags from both sides connected, dark figures walked along the city wall one by one.

The city gate was poorly maintained, and when the noose was stirred, it made a long and sharp creaking sound, which was very harsh in the dark night.

A gap opened in the city gate, and countless armored soldiers, wearing black armor and holding halberds, walked in.

More and more soldiers entered. Under the command of the young man, they quickly set up shields and built a defense line.

The North City Gate was completely controlled by them.

As the city gate was fully opened, two horses with their hooves wrapped in thick cloth came in.

When he saw the young man who was directing the soldiers to set up defense at the city gate, he hurriedly greeted him.

"General Zhang, good job."

"Zhang is just a lieutenant general, how dare he be called a general."

When the young man heard this, he responded lightly with a smile on his face, especially when facing one of the fair-haired men, he didn't even say a polite word.

These two people were none other than Xian Yuyin and Wuhuan Su Puyan, the cavalry captain who had gathered under the banner of Liu He to avenge his father.

"Boy, this is not the time for small talk." The young man took out a parchment map from his arms.

"The four city gates are located here, this is the Gongsun family, and this is the arsenal." The young man pointed his hand on the map one by one, and emphasized one of them, "This is the main camp in the city."

"I will go to the west gate, east gate, and south gate and hand them over to you."

"First take the city gates and arsenals. The Gongsun family will be returned to Liu Shijun as agreed."

Several people followed the dancing light of the torches, stood at the gate of the city tower, and quickly assigned tasks.

Only at the end, the young man paused and said, "Lingzhi City is the administrative center of Liaoxi. If the killing is too heavy, it will not be conducive to gathering the hearts of Duke Yuan. I hope you can restrain your subordinates and do less killing." Hearing this, Xian Yuyin and Su Pu There was a look of disdain on Yan's face.

How can such a prosperous and big city achieve the effect of inspiring military morale if it restrains its subordinates?

Seeing the two of them like this, the young man stopped talking.

It has always been a common practice to break into cities, plunder and reward soldiers, and to use money, killings and women to motivate soldiers to fight bravely against the enemy. There is no army in the world that does not do this.

The young man looked back, glanced at the dark Lingzhi City, and threw out his distracting thoughts, "Please go back and inform Liu and Ambassador Liu to act according to the plan."

At the same time, the abnormality in the tower here still attracted the attention of Lingzhijun soldiers standing on the watchtower elsewhere.

He saw lights coming out one after another on the plain in the distance.

There were only one or two points at first, then they suddenly increased in number, and finally they formed a sea of ​​sparks, rushing toward the North City with the thunderous sound of horse hooves.

"Enemy attack." The soldier shouted and rang the bronze bell hanging on the watchtower.

The rapid sound of gold and iron knocking will tear apart the silent night of the branch city.

As the first warning sounded, the entire Lingzhi City was boiling.

With Zuo Ping's early warning, the Lingzhijun soldiers on the city wall would not have a clueless collision.

Under the command of the superior officer, they quickly assembled.

When the clanging sound of gold reached his ears, Zuo Ping was standing on the east city wall, holding his sword.

Lady Yan sent a message that reinforcements from Lulong were on the way, and they agreed to enter from the east city gate.

Zuo Ping didn't want to think about why Lu Long could move so quickly or what Lady Yan was going to do.

He only knew that he must not let Gongsun Jing's unfilial and disloyal thing succeed.

This rapid sound of ringing gold shocked Zuo Ping even though he had expected it.

This veteran has grown old, and his energy has been drained by anxiety and fatigue.

This sound of ringing gold was like the wail of a mourning bird, piercing directly into his head and making him shake uncontrollably.

"Mr. Zuo." A lean man hurriedly gave him a hand.

"I'm fine." Zuo Ping took a breath and pushed the lean man's hand away, "Jiang Bin, lead the troops quickly."

"Yes." When he knew that the person in front of him was not his mother-in-law, as the captain of Lingzhi City, Jiang Bin was no less anxious than Zuo Ping.

Immediately, he took several generals and ran down the tower to assemble the team.

Zuo Ping quickly stood up straight and looked to the north. The fire was jumping and the voices were cluttered. It was obvious that the north gate had completely fallen into the hands of the enemy, and a large number of enemies had entered the city.

The whole city was in great turmoil, and the common people and wealthy families were awakened from their sleep.

Fortunately, we were awakened in advance and all the shops were closed.

The village chiefs, Youyou, Chefu, etc. all ran behind the walls, going from house to house to arouse young people and organize defense.

The city has always been destroyed, and everyone has heard what happened to the residents in the city.

Especially the news of the massacre that came back from the Central Plains frightened everyone. At this time, there were not many unruly people coming out to cause trouble.

They all held the weapons at home and organized defense under the leadership of Youyou.

"Let's go." Zuo Ping took the lead and led everyone to assemble an army formation at the east gate.

At this time, offense and defense are easy to change. What he needs is to guard this city gate and guard this passage for the incoming reinforcements.
