Chapter 50

"Kill!!!"

Su Xuan and Wen Pin saw this, instantly linked the army to form a military formation, and with the blessing of the military formation, charged toward the West City Gate of Wancheng at a terrifying speed.

However, in less than a minute, they had crossed the 3 li distance and charged to the foot of the city.

They easily crossed the drawbridge and charged into the city gate tunnel.

At this time, Old Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and their men had already led their soldiers out of the city gate tunnel, split into two routes, and killed their way onto the city towers from the passages on both sides of the city gate tunnel.

"Boom boom boom!!"

The iron cavalry charged out of the city gate tunnel with invincible momentum.

Everywhere they passed, the hundreds of Huang Jin soldiers who tried to block them were crushed directly by the iron cavalry.

They couldn't cause the slightest obstruction to the army.

"Wen Zhongye, you take 800 men to replace Huang Hansheng and Old Dian Wei to occupy the West City Gate and the city towers."

After clearing the Huang Jin soldiers in front of the city gate, making the other Huang Jin soldiers shocked by their brutality and afraid to come forward, Su Xuan ordered Wen Pin.

At the same time, he controlled the military formation and split off a thousand men to hand over to Wen Pin.

"Yes!"

Wen Pin immediately took the order, took over the thousand-man military formation, charged onto the city towers, and with the help of Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei, quickly slaughtered the enemies on the city towers and completely occupied the West City Tower.

Then, he led his troops to control the city gate.

And Huang Zhong and Old Dian Wei led their hundred-plus men to merge into Su Xuan’s military formation and, according to the map passed on by Han Zhong and the others, killed their way straight toward the City Lord’s Mansion.

Because Zhang Zhang Mancheng was over there.

"Kill!!"

The moment Huang Zhong and his men launched their attack, someone discovered them and hurried to the Prefect's Mansion to report to Zhang Zhang Mancheng.

Zhang Zhang Mancheng was instantly enraged: "Scoundrels! These imperial dogs have such gall to sneak into the city and attempt to break it? Wishful thinking!"

"Pass on my order: quickly go to the South and East gates to mobilize 40,000 troops to reinforce the West gate."

"I will lead the 10,000 men from the Prefect's Mansion to reinforce it first!"

"Right! Tell Han Zhong and Sun Xia to bring me those 2,000 Yellow Turban Warriors immediately."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhang Mancheng began to assemble his soldiers.

However, it was the middle of the night, and the Yellow Turban Army was a motley crew; one could imagine their assembly speed.

Over ten minutes passed, and the soldiers gathered around Zhang Zhang Mancheng numbered less than a thousand.

"Rumble!!"

At this moment, the thunderous sound of hooves came from the western main road.

Zhang Zhang Mancheng turned his head, his face filled with panic and disbelief.

"Impossible! It cannot be! How could the enemy be so fast?"

"Kill!!"

But in just this short time, countless torchlights, like a long dragon, were charging toward him.

"Retreat! Follow me to the East gate!!"

Facing this reality, Zhang Zhang Mancheng no longer held any illusions, nor did he think of continuing to resist here. He immediately vaulted onto his horse and, with a roar, led his men in a retreat toward the East gate.

"Zhang Zhang Mancheng! Where are you fleeing to!!"

At this moment, Su Xuan's roar came from behind.

Su Xuan gathered the power of the military formation, added it to his bow and arrow, and fired a shot.

"Rip!!"

The feathered arrow transformed into a blinding red ray, tearing through the sky at a terrifying speed, shooting toward Zhang Zhang Mancheng.

Zhang Zhang Mancheng felt a chill down his spine; his Transformation Realm danger perception made him subconsciously lean forward to dodge.

But could he be faster than an arrow imbued with the power of a 2,000-man military formation?

"Puff!"

Halfway through his lean, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth.

He looked down at his chest in disbelief.

Immediately, he saw a steel arrow piercing his chest, the arrowhead covered in blood, flashing with a cold, icy glint under the torchlight.

A blood hole the size of a bowl had been blasted into his chest by the force of Qi and blood.

Had it not been for his heart-protecting mirror and his sternum blocking it, the arrow would likely have pierced him through entirely and flown into the distance.

Furthermore, Zhang Zhang Mancheng felt a scorching force rampaging inside his body, burning his internal organs.

"What virtue or ability do I have to deserve such treatment?"

This thought flashed through Zhang Zhang Mancheng's mind.

The next moment, his vision went black, and he completely lost consciousness.

With a "thud," he fell from his still-running warhorse, rolled several meters on the ground, and stopped moving.

"Commander!!!"

"Oh no! The Commander has been hit by an arrow! The Commander has been hit by an arrow!"

"The Commander is dead! It's over!!"

"I surrender!!"

Watching Zhang Zhang Mancheng being shot dead, the surrounding Yellow Turban soldiers, already terrified and leaderless, instantly lost all morale and fell into despair.

Some threw down their weapons and chose to kneel in surrender.

With others taking the lead, the rest followed suit, dropping their weapons and joining the ranks of those surrendering.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!!"

Only then did Su Xuan's roar arrive.

Seeing that these Yellow Turban soldiers had already taken the initiative to surrender, he was speechless.

He immediately spurred his horse forward, cut off Zhang Zhang Mancheng's head, hung it on the side of his horse, and led his troops to mop up the Yellow Turban soldiers near the Prefect's Mansion who had not yet finished assembling or surrendering.

He accepted the surrender of those Yellow Turban soldiers.

"My lord's archery is divine! My own archery is already far inferior to yours!"

Huang Zhong rode over at this time, smiling and praising him.

"Han Sheng is too modest! Your archery is actually not much worse than mine!"

Su Xuan shook his head modestly, then whispered to Huang Zhong: "Quickly take men to search the western courtyard of this Prefect's Mansion, find the money and grain Zhang Zhang Mancheng stored here, especially the gold, silver, copper coins, as well as jade and antiques!"

"The Secret Guards reported that Zhang Zhang Mancheng plundered the wealth of the entire Wancheng and many existing noble families and wealthy households in Nanyang;"

"This is not a small sum; we cannot let Qin Jie and the others see it and take it for themselves;"

"After finding it, coordinate with the Secret Guards to transport it away as quickly as possible and hide it in the secret locations prepared in the city beforehand, understand?"

This was definitely a large sum, and Su Xuan was unwilling to leave it for Qin Jie and the others.

Fortunately, he had been prepared; months in advance, he had sent Secret Guards and members of the Chamber of Commerce to set up underground treasuries in several places in the city to store wealth.

Then, recently, he had used Han Zhong and Sun Xia to find out the approximate locations and amounts.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Huang Zhong's expression tightened, and he quickly cupped his hands in acknowledgment. Immediately, he led several hundred soldiers and dozens of Secret Guard members to storm into the Prefect's Mansion.

However, in just over ten minutes, they found the location of Zhang Zhang Mancheng's treasury in the Prefect's Mansion.

They began to coordinate with the Secret Guards to quietly transfer these treasures.

After a rough count, this treasure was worth at least several hundred million coins.

Meanwhile, Su Xuan continued to lead Old Dian Wei to mop up and accept the surrender of the Yellow Turban soldiers here.

He was in no hurry to attack the South and East gates.

As for the East and South gates, after Qin Jie and Xu Qiu received the news, they delayed their attack on the two gates by over ten minutes.

"Kill!!"

For a time, the East and South gates were filled with thunderous battle cries and soaring flames.

It was also at this time that Han Zhong and Sun Xia received Zhang Zhang Mancheng's order and led their respective 1,000 Yellow Turban Warriors and 20,000 Yellow Turban soldiers to leave the East and South gates and rush toward the Prefect's Mansion, making a show of support.

On the way, they learned from fleeing soldiers from the Prefect's Mansion that Zhang Zhang Mancheng had been beheaded and the Prefect's Mansion had been occupied by the imperial army.
