Chapter 142
"Rolling stones, throwing them away."
"Saalwood, here, it's almost gone."
"Push down, push their ladder down!"
The city of Xiapi in the middle of the night was full of chaos.
The silence of the night was completely shattered by the cries of rushing and killing, the sound of commanding battles, and the constant screams of being injured or before death.
Due to the relationship between the night, both the besieging side and the defending side are greatly limited in their vision.
The defenders will not be able to see when the besieging side has erected the ladder.
Similarly, the besieging side will not be able to spot the rolling stones and logs that the defenders are constantly throwing.
The casualties were far heavier than Bai Yue's siege.
But even so, Liu Beijun has shown far more resilience than before.
No matter how big the losses were, no matter how many wounded soldiers were wailing, Liu Beijun's offensive did not stop at all.
"Damn, is this Liu Bei crazy?
Then mobilize 2,000 soldiers and horses from the north gate and the south gate to reinforce them! In
the face of Liu Beijun's lifeless attack, Tai Shici gradually couldn't resist it.
After all, there were only 30,000 Chu troops guarding Xiapi.
No matter how poor Liu Beijun's combat strength is, it is also more than twice the strength of the Chu army.
But with Tai Shici once again dispatching the defenders of the north gate, there were less than 500 soldiers left to guard the north gate.
All of this is observed by a pair of eyes hidden in the dark alleyway.
"The head of the family, moved, the Chu army moved, and now there are less than five hundred people at the north gate."
After receiving the report from his subordinates, Gongsun Zi was excited.
Xuande Gong was really powerful, and he was able to force the Chu army's strength to guard the north gate to such a weak situation.
"Okay, pass the order, inform the other two, get ready, when the time comes, it will be the time for us to win the door and make meritorious contributions."
Although Gongsun Zi very much wanted to launch an attack on the north gate now, he could only continue to endure when he thought that what Liu Bei asked for in his letter was Zishi.
After all, if he delayed the major affairs of Xuande because of his eagerness, I am afraid that he would have to apologize with death.
It's just that Gongsun Zi didn't know that the other two clans he notified happened to be the two families monitored by Pei Yuanshao's secret agents.
"Okay, I see, go get back to your master."
After receiving the notice from Gongsun Zi, the other two clans in Xiapi City who decided to join Liu Bei began to make preparations.
But at this moment, the spies also discovered the movements of the clans.
"Captain, according to General Pei's order, if the monitored clan finds out that something happens, it will be arrested immediately, why don't you give the order!"
In a hidden house, several spies were glaring angrily at the captain sitting at the top.
Obviously, General Pei has already given an order, why does this captain still want everyone to stand still?
Those two clans have obviously begun to mobilize household servants and miscellaneous servants, and at this critical juncture of the siege, this is obviously about to make a big move!
"Don't worry, don't worry, don't I know General Pei's orders?
It's just that I have a more important matter to attend to here. With
that, the captain stood up.
Looking at the captain who was walking towards him and the others, the spies were unaware, just curious about what the more important thing he was talking about was.
But at this moment, the face of a captain who greeted him with a smile suddenly changed.
At some point, he drew a sword that shone with a cold glow.
"Captain! You! "
Seeing their companions stabbed to death one by one without realizing it by their trusted captain, the last remaining agent was stunned.
Oh my God, is the world crazy?
Is this the captain who gets along with them day and night? Is this the hearty captain? Is this the captain who gives priority to the brethren whatever he receives?
Why, why did it suddenly become so strange?
"Xiao Liang, among our brothers, the one I hurt the most is you.
So, you can rest assured, I won't let you die like a few of them. With
that, the captain began to wipe the blood from the sword in his hand.
"The reason is very simple, the important thing I want to do is to kill you all.
Because, my surname is Gongsun! The
sudden opening did not give Xiao Liang any time to prepare, and the sword that had just been wiped clean was infected with blood again.
Big brother, I have already completed what you have explained to my younger brother, and everything will depend on you.
It turned out that this spy captain was Gongsun Zi's own brother, Gongsun Kui.
Under the dark night, the dark tide is surging in Xiapi City.
But the soldiers of the Chu army guarding the city wall were unaware.
With the passage of time, the time finally came.
"Quick! When the time comes, notify the other two families and let them create chaos, and be sure to delay the time.
Children of the Gongsun family, rush with me!
With a sword in hand, Gongsun Zi took the lead and rushed towards the north gate, where the guard's strength was greatly lost.
"Who!?"
The soldiers of the Chu army who stayed at the north gate found Gongsun Zi and his party, but the defenders, who had already been drawn most of their troops, could not resist the enemy who was several times their own.
The light of the fire rose all over the city at the same time.
The cries and scolding, the howling of dogs, the crowing of chickens, and the mixture of all kinds of noisy sounds completely obscured everything that happened at the North Gate.
"General Tai Shici, there are many fires in the city, and it is suspected that the clan is in turmoil."
Tai Shici, who was at the west gate, also discovered the chaos in the city.
Damn, these clans, no wonder the overlord wants to do this to them, they are really some white-eyed wolves who can't be raised.
You must know that in addition to those clans that openly contradict the extermination, there are still a large number of large and small clans in Xuzhou.
But Xiang Ji did not kill them all, after all, the Chu State was initially decided, and everything was not on the right track.
Whether it is people's livelihood management or judicial education, these big and small things are inseparable from these clan squires for the time being.
I never thought that the clan that had been ignored by the Xiang Ji would break out at such a critical juncture.
Looking at the firelight in the city, Tai Shici knew very well that these clans must have been in contact with Liu Bei outside the city.
Therefore, Liu Bei launched a strong attack in the middle of the night, the purpose of which was to cooperate with the clans in the city.
But the problem is, they can only cause some chaos like this, right?
At that moment, a bloodied soldier rushed to him, shouting.
"General, General! The North Gate, the North Gate is lost! Liu Beijun has already entered the city. The
thunderbolt-like news on a sunny day stunned Tai Shi Ci.
Lost the North Gate?
Liu Bei's army has entered the city?
Damn!
Tai Shi Ci knew that the entry of Liu Bei's army into the city meant that the Chu army had gone to the general trend, and it had lost its position.
"Order the whole army to retreat from the south gate."
My heart was full of helplessness, but if I made a decision at this time, then the 30,000 troops of the Chu State would probably not be able to leave.
