Chapter 841: Recapture of the City

"Wow!"

"It's over, it's over!"

"Our army is defeated, our army is defeated!"

When the remaining soldiers of the grain transport team saw their leader Li Gang killed in battle, their morale was immediately thrown into chaos and their will to resist collapsed instantly.

Under the intimidation of Dian Wei and others, a large number of ordinary soldiers either abandoned their armor and fled in panic or laid down their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.

The few personal soldiers who were still fighting desperately had lost their backbone and their resistance became increasingly weak. They were knocked down one after another by the Jinwu Guards like cutting melons and vegetables.

Soon, this encounter ended with a great victory for the Han army.

Under the iron hoofs of the Jinwu Guards, none of the deserters who attempted to flee escaped, and the grain transport team was eventually wiped out.

In order to ensure the suddenness of the raid, Dian Wei did not take any prisoners in this battle. All the men were beheaded cleanly.

Even the carts of precious food and fodder were burned in the fire.

Unlike the skirmishes that broke out along the way on Dian Wei's side, Su Yao, with his precise positioning, ignored the small fish on the road, and directly led his elite cavalry of the Yulin Guard to the main point.

Northeast of Wei County, Guantao.

This place is close to the Yellow River. The county seat is located on the banks of Tunshi River, a tributary of the Yellow River. It has the advantage of water transportation. It is also located in the northeast of Wei County and adjacent to Qinghe and Julu County. Therefore, it was chosen by the Jizhou Army as an important grain and grass transportation hub.

Su Yao's Yulin Army was like a sharp knife, stabbing straight towards this place.

At the same time, Zhang Meng, the defender of Guantao City, was completely unaware of anything.

"drink!"

"Come on - cheers!"

Inside Guantao City under the cover of night, the defending general Zhang Meng was drinking and having fun with a group of generals.

Inside the government office, the lights were on, the air was filled with the sounds of birds singing and the aroma of wine.

The soldiers were drunk and staggering, and only a few of them could still keep a sober face.

Dou Wen sat at the table, looking at the scene of drunkenness and debauchery before him, feeling vaguely uneasy.

In recent days, he wanted to remind Zhang Meng several times to be on high alert, but he swallowed the words back every time they came to his lips.

After all, this Zhang Meng was no match for a small county magistrate like him. He was the deputy general of the great general Qu Yi, a fierce man from Liangzhou. It was not a wise move for him, a small county magistrate with little background, to offend the fierce general during a war.

However, as time went on, Sima Zhang became more and more outrageous.

Not only did he hold a grand banquet in his government office today, he also requisitioned fine wine from the government treasury and forced the singing girls and dancers in the county to accompany him, making the government office a chaotic place.

This is really intolerable!
"I wonder if Sima Zhang has heard that General Su Yao raided our army a few days ago, and General Zhao Fu died on the battlefield. Now the whereabouts of that general are unknown. We are an important grain and grass base here, so we really shouldn't be so lax. We still need to be prepared early..."

"Humph! County Magistrate Dou is really ignorant. How do you know that I haven't taken precautions?"

Zhang Meng was drunk and looked disdainful. He waved his hand and almost knocked over the wine cup on the table:

"Even if you don't understand that this small Guantao County is of great significance to my 3,000-strong army garrison, just looking at our rear area, why should we fear a sneak attack?"

"Even if Su Yao is very capable and knows that we have stored food here, can he still grow wings and fly over the camps of so many armies ahead?"

"That's right, that's right."

"Sima Zhang is right!"

As soon as Zhang Meng finished speaking, the other generals also responded:
"County Magistrate Dou is really worrying too much. If Su Yao dares to come, we will make sure he is killed without a burial place!"

“It’s actually a county town?”

"This is going to be difficult."

Outside Guantao City at night.

Seeing that the so-called enemy grain station was actually a county town, Li Ji, a captain of the Yulin Guard, suddenly looked bitter.

Isn't this a joke?
Originally, when he heard that the general was going to lead them to attack the grain station, in his opinion, it was nothing more than a slightly larger camp.

Judging from the general's previous record of breaking through the camp gate in one fell swoop, it would be no problem for their cavalry to attack the camp.

But
Attacking a city is another matter!

"What? Are you scared?" Su Yao asked coldly.

"No, I dare not."

Li Ji swallowed his saliva:
"It's just that we didn't bring siege weapons. It's hard to take the county." "Who said we didn't bring siege weapons?"

After saying that, Su Yao reached out and grabbed a rope from Li Ji's horse bag.

hiss--

Great General, are you planning to build a rope ladder?!

"No, no!"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

In Guantao City, Zhang Meng and others, who had just been immersed in wine and sex and swore that nothing could happen, were instantly slapped in the face and were immediately shocked.

Zhang Meng pushed the singer away, staggered to his feet, glared and roared:

"What a panic!"

"what's the situation?"

"Who dares to mess with me?!"

It would have been better if Zhang Meng hadn't asked, but when he did, the answer he got almost made him fall back to the ground.

"General, the general is flying up!"

"What?!"

The general flew up, which of course means literally.

Guantao is a small county.

The rammed earth wall was only about two meters high, so it was no problem to defend against the rebel army and bandits who had no siege equipment. But for Su Yao, he didn't even need to ride his horse to gain leverage, he could just jump up from below with a leap.

Su Yao was seen holding the rope in one hand and a Mo Dao in the other. He jumped up and kicked the city wall several times with his feet. In the blink of an eye, he was close to the top of the city.

The guards on the city wall never thought that such a master would appear in the darkness. It was not until Su Yao swept through the enemy troops and cut the patrolling guards around him in half that the others reacted.

"what?"

"what?!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Quick, kill him!"

Amid the exclamations, the guards on the city wall woke up as if from a dream, and raised their spears, swords, and bows and arrows in an attempt to stop Su Yao's surprise attack.

However, they will soon realize that the strength of the two sides is so different that there is no comparison.

However, their awakening came too late and the price was too high, which was their own heads.

"Death to the bastard fish!"

shhhhh--

Amid the flashes of swords and sabers, Su Yaomo's sword drew an elegant arc with an overwhelming force.

The three guards who were hit first had no time to react before they were hit by the sharp blade.

In the blood mist, their bodies were like shattered pottery figurines, flying in pieces, with broken limbs falling in different directions. Some hit the bricks of the parapet, making dull sounds, while others flew over the top of the wall, fell down, and disappeared into the darkness.
"Mom!"

A young guard was so frightened that his face turned pale, he could not hold the spear steadily, and shouted in a trembling voice.

He had never seen such a brave man who could jump onto the city wall alone and stir up such huge waves.

"What kind of monster is this?!"

——"It's not a monster, it's the general coming!"

The person who spoke in such a cocky way was obviously not Su Yao.

The person who came behind him and climbed up to the top of the city wall first using the rope ladder was none other than Li Ji, the Imperial Guard.

As soon as he stepped onto the top of the city wall, he rushed forward a few steps with a heroic and high-spirited manner, holding up his knife and shouting:
"The general is fighting against the rebellion. If you want to live, lay down your weapons!"

As he spoke, one after another, the Yulin Guards climbed up to the top of the city wall, occupied advantageous positions and threw down more rope ladders to meet the friendly forces.

Seeing this, the guards on the city wall were panicked. Some surrendered, some fled, but no one resisted.

Without any effort, the wall of Guantao was taken down.
