Chapter 49

At the same time, he muttered in his heart: "Your Huang Jin Warriors? No! Now they are mine and Han Zhong’s!"

"No, that’s not right! They should be the Lord’s! Hehe!"

With the addition of the Huang Jin Warriors on both sides, Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei were unable to expand their results for a time;

Even with the Huang Jin army’s numerical advantage.

The casualties of the government troops on the city walls began to increase rapidly, their numbers dwindling, and the area they occupied becoming smaller and smaller.

"Retreat!!!"

More than ten minutes later, Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei both felt it was about time, and immediately covered the government troops on the city walls while retreating themselves.

When there were no government troops left on the city walls, the two flipped over the city walls, borrowed strength once on the twenty-meter-high wall, and landed steadily on the ground.

"Order the retreat! It’s about time!"

Su Xuan saw this and immediately said to Qin Jie.

"Good!"

Qin Jie nodded and immediately ordered: "Sound the gong to withdraw!"

It was his soldiers who were being lost, and he felt the pain too!

Su Xuan’s words were exactly what he wanted.

"Dong dong dong!!!"

The piercing sound of the gong rang out.

The government troops began to retreat one after another.

As for Xu Ju’s side, even without a reminder, seeing Old Dian Wei descend from the city walls, he also ordered the retreat at the first opportunity.

He led the remaining troops and retreated slowly.

The Huang Jin army did not pursue out of the city.

They didn't dare at all.

Before today, they had been relatively dismissive of the government army.

Now, that kind of thinking had long been thrown to the back of their minds.

In this battle, several thousand Huang Jin soldiers died, and the government army’s losses were not small either.

Nearly a thousand dead.

It was really because these government troops were a bit weak, otherwise, it wouldn't have been just that.

"So, this should be considered a success?"

After the army retreated and Qin Jie rendezvoused with Xu Ju and the others, he asked Su Xuan.

"Hmm! The goal has basically been achieved! The rest depends on me!"

Su Xuan had already learned from Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei that Han Zhong and Sun Xia had each mastered 1,000 Huang Jin Warriors. He nodded affirmatively and then stood up: "I won't stay here long! It’s time to start the action;"

"Although it is almost impossible for the Huang Jin army to launch a night raid, you still need to be careful!"

"Additionally, once three rockets rise above the West City, you must immediately launch an attack on the South City Gate and East City Gate;"

"At that time, Wancheng will surely be broken. Remember! Remember!"

Saying this, Su Xuan took Huang Zhong, Old Dian Wei, and others, left quickly, and disappeared into the night sky.

It took over half an hour for Su Xuan and his group to rendezvous with Wen Pin and the Xuanjia Army.

They had a good meal and let Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei have a good rest.

When the second watch of the night arrived,

Su Xuan had the army get up and eat some dry rations hastily;

Then, with bits in their mouths, people holding plum branches, and horse hooves wrapped in animal skins, they quietly touched to within 5 li of the West City Gate of Wancheng.

"The Huang Jin army didn't even send out scouts. Are they that careless? It saved us a lot of trouble! We could have gotten two or three li closer."

After Su Xuan received the report from the scouts, he couldn't help but complain.

All the caution he had taken along the way was just wasted effort.

"Hehe!"

Huang Zhong on the side smiled lightly and replied: "Perhaps the Huang Jin army is too poor and doesn't have enough warhorses;"

"Or perhaps Zhang Zhang Mancheng himself is half-baked and doesn't understand these things, which is why it’s like this!"

"However, this is a good thing!"

"I agree with the Lord’s opinion. There is no moonlight today, so we won't be discovered if we get 2 li closer;"

"The remaining 3 li is only 1,500 paces. With the speed of the warhorses, we will arrive in the blink of an eye."

They are not a regular army after all, so it’s much simpler to deal with them.

Of course, this is only Zhang Zhang Mancheng’s side; it might not be the case for other Huang Jin armies.

Huang Zhong and the others, influenced by Su Xuan, were relatively cautious and would not be careless.

"Agreed!"

Old Dian Wei and Wen Pin also nodded.

"Good!"

Su Xuan nodded with satisfaction and led the army to advance quietly again by 2 li.

Then, he signaled to Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei.

With their cultivation, even in pitch darkness, they could see Su Xuan’s movements.

Immediately, the two dismounted and set off, walking along the blind spot of the city wall corner, and quickly approached the city wall.

Then, using both hands and feet, with their cultivation and control over their bodies, they easily climbed onto the city wall.

Then, the two quickly arrived at the other side of the city wall and climbed down silently.

Afterward, the two successfully rendezvoused with the scouts lurking in the city through a secret signal.

This place was not far from the West City Gate, just one street away.

Soon, Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei led their men to lurk near the West Gate.

Once they reached here, they could no longer hide.

"Kill!!"

Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei immediately formed two small military formations with the hundred-plus soldiers behind them and killed their way out from the darkness, flying toward the city gate tunnel.

The two were invincible, and now they had formed a military formation, plus over a hundred elite soldiers with at least middle-stage Ming Qi cultivation helping from the side, they were unstoppable.

It was only a dozen breaths of time before they had charged to the entrance of the city gate tunnel.

The Huang Jin soldiers along the way were all slaughtered.

Then, Old Dian Wei led his troops to charge into the city gate tunnel, continued to slaughter the Huang Jin soldiers inside, and seized control of the city gate and the drawbridge.

And Huang Zhong led his troops to form a military formation to block the entrance of the city gate tunnel, continuously killing enemies coming from the other three directions.

The entire small military formation was like a terrifying meat grinder, crushing all incoming enemies.

Yet they themselves had almost no casualties.

It’s just that the soldiers’ injuries were increasing.

"Huang Hansheng! Signal!!"

Another dozen breaths of time passed, and Old Dian Wei’s roar came from the city gate tunnel.

"Creak! Creak!"

Then came the sound of the city gate opening and the drawbridge falling.

"Good!"

Huang Zhong roared with joy, immediately took the iron-fetal bow from his back, and drew three special rockets from the arrow quiver at his waist.

Covered in Gang Qi,

"Hum hum hum!"

Instantly, the rocket arrowheads ignited.

Huang Zhong drew his bow and nocked an arrow, firing three arrows at once.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"

Three rockets rushed into the night sky like meteors, extremely eye-catching.
