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

Yan Yan, who was about to go down to the city to ask for accountability, was suddenly shocked.

He had a bad feeling and immediately turned his gaze to the east.

He looked far to the east and saw dust and fog rolling on the road along the river. The rolling dust and fog was much more numerous and larger than the dust and fog just now.

Yan Yan, who had been through many battles, knew at a glance that the number of the incoming troops was several times greater than the number of the defeated soldiers just now.

Yan Yan stared at the cloud of dust without blinking, constantly estimating the number of enemies in his mind.

"There are at least 4,000 enemies coming this time. They are definitely not defeated soldiers..."

Yan Yan was thinking in his heart.

Combining what Sima Lang had just said, Yan Yan immediately understood that these 4,000 cavalrymen must be the Han army's pursuers, coming for Sima Lang.

Just as he was thinking for a moment, more than 4,000 Han cavalry had already surged in like a tide, heading straight for Fuling.

Wu Yi saw this and became flustered. He shouted:

"Old General, looking at the scale, there are many Han enemies. What should we do?"

Yan Yan snorted disdainfully:
"Why are you panicking? There are only 4,000 pursuers. What's there to be afraid of?"

In Yan Yan's opinion, these were just pursuers looking for Sima Lang, and the general leading the army was definitely not a powerful one.

He looked calm, waved his hand and shouted:

"Close all city gates, and all troops are on high alert!"

After the order was given, Wu Yi's expression finally calmed down. He rushed down the city and hurriedly delivered the order.

Upon receiving Yan Yan's order, the city guard general Gao Huai immediately waved the sword in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Quick, come in quickly!"

Gao Huai hurriedly drove the defeated soldiers into the city.

But the more they urged them, the more anxious the fleeing soldiers became. They scrambled and squeezed forward desperately.

The people in front fell, and the fleeing soldiers behind were squeezed into a dilemma, and soon the city gate was blocked and unable to enter.

Seeing this, Gao Huai hurriedly pulled the soldier who had fallen in front of him, trying to open a new passage.

At this moment.

He suddenly caught sight of Sima Lang still standing there, motionless.

He frowned and shouted at Sima Lang:
"General Sima, the Han cavalry has caught up with us. Come and command your men to enter the city!"

Sima Lang still stood there, looking at the crowded soldiers helplessly without saying a word.

When Gao Huai saw this, he suddenly became furious.

He abandoned his soldiers, grabbed his sword, spurred his horse, and rushed towards Sima Lang.

When he arrived in front of Sima Lang, he glared at him and shouted:

"General Sima, why are you still standing there? Go and order your soldiers to enter—"

The word "city" has not yet fallen.

A deputy general beside Sima Lang suddenly looked up.

A murderous aura suddenly flashed across those eagle eyes.

Gao Huai felt a chill all over his body, and then he heard the sound of a sword breaking through the air and whistling.

Before Gao Huai could react, a silver spear had already stabbed into his face.

Gao Huai was horrified.

He never expected that the deputy general beside Sima Lang would actually try to kill him.

The two men were very close to each other, and he had no time to dodge. He could only let the silver spear pierce deeply into his face.

There was a loud bang.

For an instant.

Gao Huai's huge head was torn to pieces by the silver spear.

The broken body swayed for a moment on the horse, then fell to the ground with a bang.

at this time.

The Qin soldiers at the city gate witnessed it all clearly.

Everyone froze in place in disbelief. They stared at Gao Huai's body in astonishment, stunned and dazed.

Sima Lang actually killed their main general Gao Huai?

For a moment, they thought they were seeing things and raised their hands to wipe their eyes.

But when they opened their eyes again, Gao Huai's body reminded them that everything was not an illusion.

Is Sima Lang crazy? All the Qin soldiers were horrified.

But Sima Lang was not surprised at all when faced with Gao Huai's death.

He seemed to have expected it. He shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"No need to pretend, take the city gate!"

The young deputy general who had just killed Gao Huai held the bloody spear in his hand and shouted at the fleeing soldiers near the city gate.

Give the order.

Those originally panicked fleeing soldiers seemed to have become different people and calmed down instantly.

They stopped crowding and instead drew their swords and rushed towards the shocked and stunned Qin soldiers.

Sima Lang knew that his mission had been accomplished and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Right now.

The young deputy general suddenly put the bloody spear to Sima Lang's heart.

Sima Lang was shocked and his face changed drastically.

He knew that this man was going to kill him.

Sima Lang's legs instantly went weak and he cried out:
"General Deng, I have acted according to Prime Minister Xiao's plan. I have made contributions to the Han Dynasty. Can you please spare my life?"

Facing Sima Lang's plea, the young deputy general glanced at him with disdain and snorted coldly:
"My great Han Dynasty cannot tolerate useless, incompetent and immoral trash like you!"

Say it.

The silver spear in his hand stabbed out again.

With a wail, Sima Lang's heart was pierced by the silver spear.

With his eyes wide open, he unwillingly fell off his horse and fell to the ground.

The young deputy general was Deng Ai.

Looking at the tragic deaths of Gao Huai and Sima Lang, and then looking at the Han army pretending to flee in the distance.

At this moment, he felt admiration for Lu Xun.

This plan was Lu Xun's.

His strategy was to use the prisoner Sima Lang to create an information gap with Yan Yan and trick Yan Yan into opening the gate of Fuling.

Then he let Zhang Xiu lead the Han cavalry and charge into Fuling City in one go.

This is the plan that Lu Xun proposed to Xiao Fang to quickly capture Fuling!

Deng Ai knew that his important task at this moment was to guard the city gate tightly and wait for the arrival of Zhang Xiu's army.

He turned and stared at the city gate, holding his bloody spear horizontally, and shouted sternly:

"Hold the city gates and welcome General Zhang's cavalry into the city!"

As the shouts rang out, the Han soldiers disguised as defeated Qin soldiers took off their Qin clothes and armor one after another, revealing their true identities as Han soldiers.

Deng Ai said no more. He immediately rode his horse and drew his spear, charging towards the terrified Qin soldiers guarding the gate.

The gatekeepers, who were already frightened, knew their lives were in danger, so they immediately gave up resistance and squatted down with their heads in their hands, hoping to escape.

How could Deng Ai let these ants go?

He raised his spear and stabbed all the Qin soldiers to death in an instant.

At this time.

The remaining Han soldiers also rushed forward, ruthlessly slashing at the remaining Qin soldiers with swords and spears in their hands.

Some Qin soldiers who survived by chance finally reacted, but faced with a leaderless situation, they became a mess.

The Han army took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, killing them all in a blink of an eye.

city ​​gate.

Finally it fell into the hands of the Han army.

On the top of the city wall, Yan Yan finally noticed something unusual.

He stopped and listened to the shouts and screams from below the city.

A bad premonition arose spontaneously.

Yan Yan rushed to the city wall in a few steps, looked down, and saw that the Han army miraculously appeared in the city gate.

His face changed drastically, and his mind went blank in an instant.

He couldn't understand why the Han army's pursuers suddenly appeared under the city gate when they were still a few miles away. (End of this chapter)
