Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 423 Street Fight! (Thanks to Zhong 612, the Nevernight Marquis who can’t survive the night, and Lulu’s two monthly tickets~)

"..."

Yong Kai was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly!

How come the trebuchet's projection distance is so much farther than that of the traditional catapult?
However, at this moment he had no time to think about it and could only turn around and flee towards the bottom of the city wall, without even caring about the lives of the soldiers.

Then there were loud rumbling noises, accompanied by the soldiers' screams!
Either they were hit by stones or they were killed or injured by gunpowder jars!
For today's soldiers, there is absolutely no room for resistance or defense against this kind of mixed attack!

The only way is to avoid it!

Fortunately, Gao Dingyuan still had a conscience. When he saw Yong Kai running away on his own, he immediately ordered the remaining soldiers to follow him downstairs.

Just from that wave of enemy attacks, they lost nearly a thousand people.

If a few more waves come, the guards on the city wall won’t be able to hold on!

From a distance, Lu Bu saw the enemy troops withdrawing from the city wall.

He immediately ordered the soldiers to quickly fill the trench to create several roads, and then asked the soldiers to build a wooden bridge with planks to cross the moat.

Since there were no soldiers guarding the tower, Lu Bu's army occupied the entire eastern tower with almost no effort.

Hu Du and Ding Feng, who were the first to climb onto the city wall, did not rush down the wall.

Because they knew very well that since the enemy was willing to give up the city tower, they must have made sufficient preparations inside the city.

Ding Feng first stopped the army from advancing and concentrated as many thousands of soldiers as possible on the city wall.

Then he took the initiative to look towards the stairs.

Sure enough, outside the stair exit, I saw rows of enemy archers drawing their bows and arrows, aiming at the staircase!

It was obvious that if they rushed down rashly, they would be greeted by countless deadly arrows!
Ding Feng immediately ordered his soldiers to carry large shields up from under the city wall.

Then he ordered a thousand soldiers to hold up shields and personally led them down the stairs!
The moment they appeared, countless bowstrings vibrated, as if playing a deadly song of death!

But what Gao Dingyuan didn't expect was that what appeared in his field of vision were huge metal shields!
The enemy soldiers actually used these shields to block the arrows and rushed towards them.

Gao Dingyuan obviously didn't want to have a head-on confrontation with the other party at this moment.

He immediately ordered the archers to retreat while shooting arrows, and they soon retreated into the intricate alleys.

Zhuti County was one of the few cities in the vassal state of Qianwei and was also the seat of the county.

The buildings inside are intricate and there are many alleys.

However, Ding Feng did not rush to pursue. Instead, he ordered his soldiers to open the city gates first and let more troops in.

Then he waited for Lord Chu's instructions.

After Lu Bu entered the city, he did not ride on Red Hare, but led the horse forward with his head down.

There may be an enemy ambush in the city at any time.

If you still ride on your horse with a high-spirited look, you may be shot and killed by the enemy's hidden arrows.

Lu Bu looked at the army that stayed near the city gate and dared not go deeper, and his brows relaxed slightly.

He felt quite proud that his soldiers obeyed orders and did not rush into the city rashly.

After all, every soldier is a life.

Every time a person dies, a family's hope is shattered.

So he will now cherish the life of every soldier.

Try your best to avoid unnecessary and necessary sacrifices for them!
At this time, Lu Bu looked at Hu Du, who was not far away and was appointed as the supervisor of his sect, and called him over:
"Captain Fox, how do you think we can fight this street battle with the least cost?"

Hu Du seemed to have already thought of a countermeasure. When Lu Bu asked, he immediately replied:
"My lord. The terrain of Zhuti City is complicated. If we rush in without the guidance of someone who knows the terrain well, we will be caught off guard by the enemy." And Yong Kai has been bullying the people in the city for a while, and the people must have been very angry.

“My lord, you can knock on the houses and ask the people inside to help our soldiers go deeper into the alley.

"With their pointing out the terrain, combined with the generals' own judgment, we can greatly reduce the enemy's threat to our army."

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu immediately ordered Hu Du and Ding Feng to lead the soldiers to the houses, knock on the doors and ask for their help.

The people who had been hiding in their homes were shocked to see that Lu Bu's army was so kind and polite, which formed a huge contrast with Yong Kai's subordinates.

Many people agreed to help them lead the way.

With the help of these people, Lu Bu's army began to gradually advance into the alley.

Lu Bu originally planned to lead a troop of soldiers to fight in person, but was stopped by Lieutenant General Yan Yan:

“My lord, you are worth a ton of gold, but you are no longer the same as you used to be.

"Street fighting is too dangerous. It's not like a head-on confrontation with the help of Red Hare, which allows the lord to escape danger at any time.

"So my lord, please stay here and command the troops, and we will attack the enemy from deep inside!"

Seeing Yan Yan's words, Lu Bu also felt that it made sense, and immediately grabbed Yan Yan's shoulders and said:

"General Yan, please be careful, don't lead the way, and prioritize your own safety!"

Yan Yan smiled and nodded, then immediately led an army into the alley.

The intricate alley had roughly three entrances, each led by Yan Yan, Ding Feng and Hu Du, who led thousands of soldiers and horses to penetrate deep into the alley.

When Yan Yan led an army into an alley, a commoner nearby suddenly said to Yan Yan:
“General, the alley ahead has two walls that are about to collapse, and we usually go around them.

“But just now the enemy clearly wanted to lure us to go this way.

"Once we pass this place, I'm afraid that the enemy on the other side of the wall will push the wall and crush us directly!"

Hearing this, Yan Yan was glad that Hu Du asked them to find these people who were familiar with the terrain of the city for help.

Without them, we would definitely be caught.

Now we know that there may be enemy troops hiding behind the walls on both sides of the alley in front of us.

Yan Yan looked at the gaps above the walls on both sides and immediately came up with an idea.

He ordered several soldiers to hold gunpowder cans, crouch down and walk quietly to the front of the alley.

Then he threw the gunpowder can in his hand through the gap on both sides!

The next moment, a violent explosion sounded, accompanied by the screams of enemy soldiers.

At the same time, the power of the explosion directly knocked down two dangerous walls, revealing the enemy troops hiding in the rear!

Yan Yan immediately seized the opportunity and led the army to charge forward, killing countless enemies in a short period of time!

On the other side, Ding Feng led a large army and was also chasing the enemy in the alley.

But his guide was not of much use.

Instead, they saw a large group of roosters and hens in an alley at the corner, which almost blocked the alley!

At this moment, a big black dog suddenly rushed in from the entrance of the alley opposite, scaring the chickens so much that they flew around in panic!

And just as the scene was in chaos, the crowing of cocks drowned out the sound of the bowstrings vibrating.

Suddenly, countless arrows shot towards Ding Feng and his group from across the alley!
