Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

While Guo Jia was feeling sad and sentimental, the defeated Qin soldiers had already fled back to the south gate of the city.

Cao Zhang raised his sword and shouted:
"Guo Lingjun, quickly open the city gate and let my army enter the city!"

Guo Jia's thoughts returned to the present, and he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to open the city gate.

As soon as the city gate opened, Cao Zhang rushed in first, followed by hundreds of defeated soldiers who rushed in one after another.

"King Rencheng, what is going on?"

As soon as Cao Zhang rode into the city, Guo Jia came to meet him.

Cao Zhang looked ashen and sighed:

"I was only one step away from killing Guan Yu's son, but the Han cavalry suddenly attacked from upstream, causing me to fail!"

"Hateful, hateful——"

Cao Zhang beat his chest and stamped his feet, extremely annoyed.

Guo Jia suddenly realized and sighed again:
"This must be the work of Xiao Fang. The water level here has risen sharply, and the water level upstream has naturally dropped, allowing the cavalry to cross the river."

"Yang Fu is still overestimating his own abilities and showing off his skills in front of an expert."

Just as he was sighing, cavalrymen came roaring and rushing towards the city gate.

It was the Han cavalry that caught up with them.

The Qin soldiers who had not entered the city were even more terrified and panicked. They pushed and shoved each other and rushed into the city regardless of everything.

Cao Zhang frowned, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Close the city gates and raise the drawbridge. Raise the drawbridge now!"

Guo Jia was surprised and reminded:
"Lord Rencheng, we have already lost many soldiers in this battle. If we close the city gates again, we will stop dozens of soldiers outside the gates. They will all be killed by the Han army!"

Cao Zhang was enraged, and shouted at Guo Jia:
"Now that it has come to this, if we do not close the city gates, and the Han cavalry rushes in, what will I do to stop them?"

"When the time comes, all of us, including you and me, will die under the iron cavalry of the Han army!"

"Guo Jia, at this critical moment, how can you be so soft-hearted!"

Guo Jia was speechless.

Then he sighed helplessly and closed his mouth silently.

How could he not understand what Cao Zhang said?

Once the Han cavalry rushes in, Juyan City will surely fall, and they will not have time to abandon the city and retreat north, and will die under the Han cavalry.

Although closing the city gates resulted in the loss of several thousand soldiers, it was able to temporarily save the Juyan City.

As long as the city is not lost, they can gain a chance of survival.

With Guo Jia's wisdom, how could he not see the life and death implications involved?

He could only choose silence.

Then hundreds of Tiger Guards rushed forward and began to close the city gates.

"Don't close the door, let us into the city!"

"Your Highness, please don't abandon us. We haven't even entered the city yet!"

The Qin soldiers who had not yet entered the city cried and shouted for help to Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang remained indifferent and only ordered his soldiers to continue closing the city gates.

Driven by the belief of survival, the Qin soldiers pushed the door desperately, trying to squeeze in at all costs.

Cao Zhang frowned.

If the stalemate continues like this, the city gates cannot be closed in time. If we delay any longer and the Han cavalry attacks, everything will be over.

"Release your arrows. Shoot them!"

Cao Zhang became determined and shouted loudly.

The soldiers on both sides were all shocked and looked at Cao Zhang in disbelief.

Even Guo Jia looked at Cao Zhang in astonishment.

It is barely understandable that in order to close the city gates, they had to sacrifice their own soldiers.

But now Cao Zhang is actually going to shoot his own soldiers!

Even someone as cruel and ruthless as Cao Cao would never do such a thing.

Cao Zhang is more cruel than Cao Cao!

"If you don't close the city gates, we will all die. Kill them!"

Cao Zhang didn't care about his reputation or image. While roaring, he grabbed a bow and shot an arrow.

"Swoosh!" An arrow flew through the air and hit a Qin soldier who was squeezed at the front.

With a scream, the Qin soldier fell to the ground.

The Qin army archers around seemed to be stimulated by Cao Zhang's action. They all lost their humanity and screamed like beasts while shooting arrows at their comrades.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Arrows came like rain.

The Qin soldiers crowded in front of the city gate were nailed to the ground in groups, and a blood mist flew everywhere in an instant.

at last.

The Qin soldiers who had not yet entered the gate were all frightened by the bloody shooting. No one dared to force their way in, and they all began to retreat.

The city gate finally slammed shut.

Cao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and threw the bow and arrow in his hand to the ground.

The Qin army archers on both sides all looked ashamed and lowered their heads dejectedly.

Some people even shed tears in their eyes.

After all, they were all from Xiliang, and among their comrades shot and killed, there might be their own brothers.

Cao Zhang didn't even bother to comfort them and immediately climbed to the top of the city wall.

"Cao Zhang, you cruel and ruthless bastard, you shall not die well!"

"We work hard for your Cao family, why do you treat us like this?"

"Let us into the city, we don't want to die--"

The Qin soldiers crowded outside the city were cursing, begging, and wailing miserably.

Cao Zhang remained indifferent and only ordered the soldiers who had escaped to immediately go up to the city wall and prepare for battle.

At this moment, the Han army's cavalry had already rolled in.

The Qin troops crowded in front of the city were like ants. They were crushed to the ground in large numbers and killed until blood flowed like a river.

In the chaos of the army.

Guan Ping rushed all the way, harvesting the heads of Qin soldiers like cutting vegetables and melons.

"King Rencheng, please release me and the city. I haven't entered the city yet—"

A familiar voice sounded from the front.

It was Yang Fu who was begging Cao Zhang on the top of the city wall to be allowed to enter the city.

Just now he was a step slow and was defeated by the defeated army. He had no time to enter Juyan City and was locked outside the city, becoming a lamb to be slaughtered at will by the Han army.

"You Xiliang bastard, come and get your life!"

Guan Ping's eyes were blazing with fire, he raised his sword and rode his horse, charging towards Yang Fu.

With a bloody knife in his hand, filled with all his murderous intent, he slashed towards Yang Fu like a sword that could split the sky.

Since I can't kill Cao Zhang, I'll take it out on you!

Yang Fu's body was shocked, and when he turned around, Guan Ping's long sword had already come at him like lightning.

There was no way to avoid it, so he could only try his best and swing his sword to block it.

"Crack!"

The knife has not yet been used, but the cold light has already arrived.

Half of Yang Fu's shoulder was cut off by Guan Ping's sword.

With a scream, Yang Fu's sword slipped out of his hand and he was about to fall off his horse.

Before he fell, Guan Ping slashed at him with his sword again.

Blood splattered again.

Yang Fu's head was chopped off in mid-air.

Guan Ping stabbed Yang Fu's head with his sword, raised it towards the Qin army on the top of the city wall, and shouted:

"The Xiliang Qin army on the top of the city, did you see this? This is the fate of working for Cao Zhang."

"If you don't want to be betrayed by Cao Zhang and die in vain, quickly capture the remnants of Cao Zhang, open the city and surrender to the Han Dynasty!"

This thunderous shout made everyone's scalp numb. The Qin soldiers on the city wall were all shocked and looked at Cao Zhang secretly.

A chill ran down Cao Zhang's back, and he shuddered. (End of this chapter)
