Chapter 47

"What did you say??"

Old Dian Wei and Huang Zhong heard this and glared at Zhao Ci, their momentum bursting out, with strands of Gang Qi circulating around them.

"Hum!!!"

Just this was enough to almost press Zhao Ci to the ground.

For a moment, Zhao Ci’s face flushed red.

His heart was shocked to the extreme: "Where did this Su Xuan recruit these two peerless fierce generals? Was that Gang Qi just now? It absolutely was, right?"

It was his first time seeing a peerless martial general with Gang Qi.

He suddenly felt that offending Su Xuan was a bit rash.

He regretted it immensely.

At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that he must never offend this Su Xuan easily in the future.

He was afraid of being beaten to death or killed by some underhanded trick.

Not only Zhao Ci, but Qin Jie and Xu Ju were also almost pressed to the ground by the momentum of Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei.

Both of them had similar thoughts to Zhao Ci in their hearts at this moment.

Especially Qin Jie, who thought in horror: "I didn't expect this Su Xuan to not only have an incredibly powerful army, but even his martial generals are so terrifying!"

"Is this kind of person really someone I can deal with?"

"Forget it! Better not offend him!"

"It just so happens I haven't truly offended him yet. I’ll just coexist peacefully with him in the future!"

As for Lord Yuan Feng’s instructions?

Let them go to hell!

My own life is more important.

This kind of fierce person is not someone he can handle.

What if he completely angers them and they disregard everything to carry out an assassination?

A Gang Qi martial artist!

Who can defend against that?

Even the Lord Yuan clan wouldn't dare guarantee it, right?

Seeing the surrounding soldiers preparing to surround them, Qin Jie and Xu Ju quickly intervened: "Back down! All of you back down!"

The soldiers then stopped their advance.

"Calm your anger! Generals, calm your anger!"

Then, Qin Jie and Xu Ju quickly and carefully soothed Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei.

At the same time, they fiercely signaled to Zhao Ci to remind him: "General Zhao, how can you be so rude to General Su? Apologize quickly!"

"Yes! It was my fault! I apologize!"

Zhao Ci quickly bowed deeply to Su Xuan and apologized: "It was my fault, I shouldn't have had such a foul mouth!"

"With two peerless fierce generals assisting General Su, the mere Wancheng can indeed be broken with a flick of the finger."

Qin Jie saw this, then turned to look at Su Xuan, his expression somewhat ingratiating: "General Su, what do you think?"

"Hmm!"

Su Xuan nodded with satisfaction, looked at Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei, and signaled with his eyes.

The two then withdrew their momentum and retreated to Su Xuan’s sides to guard him, staring at Qin Jie and the others, putting immense pressure on them.

Since he had already revealed part of his strength, Su Xuan stopped wasting words and said directly: "I indeed have no good way to lure the Huang Jin rebels out of the city for the time being!"

"But more than half a month ago, when the former Nanyang Administrator Chu Gong was still here, I predicted that Wancheng would inevitably be a key target for the Huang Jin rebels;"

"And Wancheng’s defenses were not strong. Caught off guard, it was very likely it wouldn't hold;"

"Therefore, back then, I sent over a hundred scouts into Wancheng, lurking in the city;"

"These people are the elite of the elite, each capable of taking on ten;"

"So, my idea is for my Gang Qi fierce generals Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei to sneak into Wancheng under the cover of night;"

"Contact those scouts and set a signal;"

"At the third watch of the night, seize the West City Gate, open the gates, and welcome my Xuanjia Army into the city;"

"At that time, the Huang Jin army in the city will inevitably be in chaos;"

"And they will inevitably dispatch troops from the South City Gate and East City Gate to intercept me;"

"At that time, the defenses of the South City Gate and East City Gate will inevitably have gaps and flaws;"

"Administrator Qin and Inspector Xu, you can lead your armies to fiercely attack the South City Gate and East City Gate respectively. You will surely break the city?"

"What do you think?"

To break Wancheng, which has 150,000 defenders, when the government army does not have a numerical advantage, even if 70-80% of the Huang Jin army in the city are just a rabble, it is difficult to break the city in a short time by force.

Thus, only a stratagem can be used.

Su Xuan believed that with two Gang Qi fierce generals, Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei, plus over a hundred elites at the middle or late stage of Ming Qi working together to form a military formation for a surprise attack.

The success rate of taking a West City Gate that is not heavily guarded is extremely high.

Even if it fails, if Huang Zhong and the others are determined to break out and escape, the Huang Jin army alone cannot stop them.

He had already discussed this plan with Huang Zhong and the others.

Originally, he actually wanted to enter the city with Old Dian Wei.

But Huang Zhong, Old Dian Wei, and Wen Pin were dead set against it.

Su Xuan could only give up on that thought.

"Oh?"

Qin Jie and the others heard this, and their eyes lit up: "I didn't expect General Su to have such foresight and be prepared so early! This is truly great!"

"The success rate of this plan is extremely high. I have no objections!"

Qin Jie expressed his stance first.

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

Zhao Ci and Xu Ju also nodded in agreement.

Anyway, they didn't have to take the risk.

The ones taking the risk were Su Xuan’s generals, and even if they failed and died, they wouldn't feel the pain.

But once successful, the primary merit would be Su Xuan’s, but they would also be able to share a lot of the credit.

"Good!"

Su Xuan saw this, clapped his hands, and said: "Then it is settled!"

"I intend for us to advance on Wancheng tomorrow morning, and we should arrive by the afternoon;"

"At that time, Administrator Qin, you try to conduct an attack on the city to attract the main force of the rebel army to the South City Gate and East City Gate;"

"I will send Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei to participate in the attack to put pressure on the rebel army;"

"And also to reduce the pressure on you;"

"After attacking for a while, stop, garrison on the spot, wait for the night, and then start the plan. How about that?"

If he didn't send Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei to participate in the attack, Su Xuan worried that Qin Jie and the others would be defeated by the Huang Jin rebels again, or even hunted down.

No way!

Previously, the government troops under Qin Jie and the others had already been defeated once, and their morale and combat power were both issues.

He had to boost their morale and confidence first.

At the same time, arouse the Huang Jin army’s wariness so they wouldn't dare to leave the city easily.

Actually, if he used Qin Jie’s government troops to attack the city as a lure, feigned defeat, attracted the Huang Jin army in the city to come out and pursue, and then he led the Xuanjia Army to ambush them halfway, that plan would be more secure.

It’s just that Su Xuan didn't bring it up from the beginning.

Because he knew Qin Jie and the others would absolutely not agree.

That’s why this current plan came about.

"Good! Let’s do it!"

Qin Jie and the other two nodded and agreed.

This is a good thing!

With the addition of Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei, they will surely be able to win a small victory and boost morale.

There is no reason for them to refuse something that is good for them.

They have no doubts about the abilities of Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei.

This is the prestige of a peerless fierce general at the Gang Qi level.

They might not necessarily be able to lead troops well or win big battles.

But leading an attack on a city, that is absolutely sharp.
