March 15th.
The moon was dark and the wind was strong. Dark clouds filled the sky.
The breeze in March carried a hint of coldness.
The Yuan army thought that another day had passed, but suddenly, a massacre broke out in the south city.
Guan Hai attacked the city.
Thousands of soldiers wielded spears and crossbows, sending large amounts of fire arrows into the capital.
On the left and right sides, there were also catapults, which were used to attack the city, delivering alchemical fire oil jars.
Because the surrounding forces were scattered, there was no strong army to suppress Yuan's army, so they could not use battering rams. This was also the main reason why Gongsun Jing used Yan Liang's army to trick Xin Du into opening the city gates.
In a short period of time.
The flames of the southern city illuminated half of the city wall.
The night sky could be seen even ten miles away.
In the prefect's mansion.
Gao Gan had just fallen asleep when he was so frightened that he rolled down from the bed. He held his sword and said in horror,"Gongsun Changping attacked?"
One of the attendants knocked open the door and said in horror,""General, the Qingzhou Army has attacked the south city!”
"Phew!"
Gao Gan heaved a sigh of relief and quickly put on his armor."Zhao Yun must have done something shameful to urge Guan Hai to attack the city at night. It seems that our time to break through, or the reinforcements sent by uncle, is about to arrive!”
"Here!"
The attendant nodded in agreement.
At this moment.
The sounds of killing could also be heard from outside the northern city of Xin Du.
Immediately, Huang Huang, the garrison of the north city, became uneasy and used countless torches to light up the city tower.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
Shouts of killing came from the night sky.
There were even soldiers from the Qing Prefecture Army wailing and shouting words like Yan Liang was a thief general.
For a time, the entire Qingzhou military camp stationed in the north city fell into chaos.
"Hurry!"
"Inform General Gao Gan that reinforcements are coming!”
The North City Guard General's horror turned into surprise as he arranged,""Prepare to open the city gates. The lord must have received General Gao's request for help and sent General Yan Liang to Xindu to help!”
"Here!"
the soldiers replied.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The earth was shaking.
A black horseman charged out of the darkness and appeared at the foot of the north city.
Behind them, there were still a large number of pursuers shouting and fighting, as well as the faint flames.
"General Yan Liang!"
The general of the North City Guard borrowed the light of the fire.
Seeing Gongsun Jing's armor and saber, as well as Yan Liang's flag standing in the middle of the army, he shouted in joy.
One of the surrendered soldiers under Yan Liang raised his head and stared coldly at the North City Guard General. He berated sternly,"Are you blind? Hurry up and open the city gates so we can enter!”
"Here!"
The North City Guard General was not displeased at all.
The Qingzhou army had not yet returned.
Gongsun Jing had already led 5,000 soldiers into the capital.
The North City Guard General walked down the city tower.
He was prepared to welcome the fake Yan Liang, but what came at him was a snow-white blade.
He probably wouldn't understand even in his death why Yan Liang, who belonged to the Jizhou camp, would kill him.
"Leave 2,000 to clean up North City!"
Gongsun Jing casually threw the bloodstained saber on the ground.
The thousands of soldiers responded and began to kill the northern city guards.
The battle in the northern city began.
The Qingzhou Army also rushed over from behind.
"Young General!"
A young general of the Qingzhou Army said respectfully.
Gongsun Jing nodded and said in a deep voice,""You and the two thousand cavalrymen will guard the north city and prevent the Yuan army from retreating!”
"Here!"
The young general said respectfully.
Gongsun Jing immediately led 3,000 White Horse Righteous Army soldiers to attack the south city.
Gao Gan and the main force of Yuan's army were resisting the attack of Qingzhou's main force in the south city. Only by killing Gao Gan could this battle be considered a small victory.
On the northern city tower.
Thick smoke billowed, and the flames that shot into the sky made it difficult for people to open their eyes.
Arrows flew in from outside the city. The Yuan soldiers guarding the city could only hide in the battlements and counterattack.
At this moment, Gao Gan had already received news of reinforcements. He led a few of his subordinates to stand on the main road, preparing to welcome Yan Liang's arrival.
"He's here!"
One of the generals looked at the horsemen coming from the darkness and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Haha!"
Gao Gan laughed and said," Zhao Zilong has left with the Youzhou cavalry, but General Yan Liang is here. Tomorrow, we will break out of the city and defeat the Qingzhou army in one fell swoop. We will kill Gongsun Changping in Xindu City. At that time, I will definitely ask uncle for credit for all of you!”
"I wouldn't dare!"
A few of his subordinates fawned over him.
Gao Gan was Yuan Shao's nephew, but his status in Jizhou was no worse than Yuan Tan and the others.
These small generals naturally wanted to curry favor with the high-ranking officials and pray for an opportunity to command the army in the future.
As the figure approached.
Yan Liang's flag and Yuan Jun's armor were revealed to the crowd.
When Gongsun Jing was thirty steps away, Gao Gan was puzzled. It seemed that General Yan Liang looked a little young!
Twenty steps.
Gao Gan was suspicious, not sure if it was Yan Liang.
Ten steps.
Gao Gan was trembling. That familiar face.
It was as if the fear in his entire memory was triggered, and he could not even snap his fingers!
"Who are you? Where is General Yan Liang?"
One of the generals looked at Gongsun Jing, who was less than five steps away, and asked.
"Crash!"
Gongsun Jing jumped off his horse and walked to Gao Gan with his sword. He smiled faintly and said,""General Gao, it's been a long time since we last met. I think Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi have missed you a lot. I heard that you wanted to kill me in Xindu City?”
"Gongsun Changping?"
The group of Yuan generals shouted in horror.
