Early the next morning, a large army left Dongling County City and headed straight for Dongcheng and Zhenhai County. There was no warning beforehand, causing many scouts to be shocked.
A day later, on a plain, the three thousand Long Halberd Army marched forward in a dense formation. In front of them, other than a few dozen scouts, only Dian Wei was riding his fine Dayuan steed and showing off. This guy was as excited as a child getting a toy when he got this BMW. He had been smiling since yesterday.
At this moment, a scout horse quickly rushed over. From afar, a scout shouted,"General Dian, the front line has already seen the location of Cheng County. Do we need to eliminate the enemy's spies?”
Dian Wei grinned and shouted," No need. We'll swagger our way over. Our soldiers have traveled for a day. Get some rest. We'll attack again tomorrow."”
"Yes, sir!"
"General, why didn't you attack overnight? The lord only gave us three days, and we've already spent a day on our journey.”Dian Wei's adjutant asked curiously.
"You don't know about this, do you?" Dian Wei sneered. Guo Chuan had done detailed intelligence work before. This Cheng County Guard General was Zang Ba's brother-in-law, Yin Li. This guy was arrogant and conceited. He didn't have much ability, but he was very arrogant. If you let the soldiers scatter their formation and approach casually, then set up camp randomly, he will definitely attack tonight.”
"Sir is wise." "As long as he dares to attack the camp, we can get rid of him at the lowest cost."”
"It's not that I'm wise, but that Mister Cheng Yu has a plan." Dian Wei said with a strange expression. He did not know where the lord found such a schemer. He knew everything in the world without even stepping out of the door and schemed against the heroes of the world. This kind of person was the most terrifying.”
The adjutant trembled and said gloomily,""Us generals should not mingle with these scheming fellows. Otherwise, we won't even know how we died when we were schemed against.”
"Hahaha, that's true!" Dian Wei laughed.”
The 3,000 halberd soldiers successfully arrived outside the Dongcheng County. The county was built on a plain and wasn't very big. The county was only a few miles wide and could accommodate tens of thousands of people. There were also many farms near the county town. There were at least 100,000 people under its jurisdiction. It seemed that this place had not been invaded by the Yellow Turban bandits, so it looked relatively peaceful.
However, this peace was broken by the Long Halberd Army. The guards of Cheng County nervously closed the city gate as if they were facing a great enemy.
On the city wall, a middle-aged general in black armor looked down with disdain and laughed,""Three thousand men dare to attack my Cheng County, do you really think I, Yin Li, am a weakling?”
"Lord commandant, we only have a thousand soldiers in the city. I'm afraid this battle won't be easy to defend.”A man dressed like a civil official said with a solemn expression.
"Don't worry, county deputy. You take care of your government affairs, and I'll take care of my military affairs. You don't have to worry about the war.”"Look at this army," said Yi Li impatiently,"they don't have a formation. It's obvious that they're a mob. Moreover, they're all holding halberds and weapons. They've been through a long journey and are in a sorry state."”
"When they sleep like dead pigs tonight, I will lead my troops into the camp. I want to see how this mob will resist my army.”
The county magistrate wanted to say something but hesitated. However, he could not convince Yin Li. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly and say,"Lord Yin Li, please take care of yourself.”
"Cut the crap. Pass down the order to fight tonight.”Yin Li shouted.
……
In the dead of the night, thousands of people had gathered within the walls of Eastern City. These 1,000 or so people were all infantry, and their formation was scattered, like a bunch of hooligans.
However, standing in front of this group of soldiers, Yi Li felt that he was quite awesome, and his face was a little smug.
"Brothers, the enemy is pressing down on us.”Yi Li said loudly," But these are just a bunch of mobs. I have a hundred percent confidence in killing them. Do you dare to follow me to launch a sneak attack?"”
"I dare!" A sparse response came from below.
Yi Li was a little dissatisfied and said again,""As long as everyone fights bravely, this lord will definitely reward you heavily when you return.”
"Good!" This time, everyone was excited.
"Let's go!"
Yin Li laughed loudly, holding a nine-ringed broadsword, he opened the city gate first and silently ran towards Dian Wei's camp. In the darkness, over a thousand people were completely inconspicuous. They silently approached the camp.
After watching from outside the camp for a while, Yi Li sneered and said,""A bunch of idiots, sleeping like dead pigs. Brothers, kill them!”
"Kill them!"
Under the lead of Yin Li, everyone rushed in excitedly, ready to kill and set fire everywhere. However, as soon as they rushed into the camp, they were dumbfounded because the camp was empty. There was not a single person in those tents.
"Oh no, we've been tricked. Quickly retreat.”Yi Li shouted, and the crowd instantly fell into chaos.
"Hahaha, you want to run after coming in? Long Halberd Army, kill them!" Dian Wei roared excitedly.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Heaven-shaking shouts came from all directions. A large number of Long Halberd Army soldiers marched towards the camp in an orderly manner. Their killing intent was not on the same level as Yi Li's troops.
They were well-trained and cold-blooded. They were like iron-blooded robots. Every step forward and every thrust of their halberds could take the life of an enemy.
This was a massacre. Yin Li's confidence was instantly crushed. What kind of army was this? Wasn't it too terrifying? If he had known that such a terrifying army was coming, he wouldn't have dared to attack the camp even if he was beaten to death. Wasn't this courting death?
"Run! Everyone, follow me and escape. We still have a chance of survival if we escape.”Yi Li roared in fear. He blocked the attacks of a few halberd soldiers with his saber and wanted to kill his way out.
However, Dian Wei had already arrived. He rode his horse as fast as lightning and instantly arrived in front of Yi Li, thrusting out with his halberd.
Puchi!
Before Yi Li could react, his neck was pierced through and blood spurted out.
"Thief General Yi Li is already dead, we won't kill anyone who surrenders!”Dian Wei roared.
" Don't kill us. We surrender." The remaining soldiers knelt on the ground, none of them daring to resist.
Dian Wei laughed loudly. None of his men were injured and Cheng County was taken down.
