Chapter 118

Zhang Long was telling the truth. In ancient times, at the city gate, in order not to be sneaked in by the enemy, there was an open area to isolate it.

The purpose was to be able to discover the enemy at the first moment when they arrived.

"If even you, with your strength at the Divine General Realm, cannot sneak over, then we can only launch a forced attack!"

After hearing Zhang Long's answer, Li Su said with some regret.

"Currently, this is the only way. Fortunately, we are taking them by surprise; let's use archers to suppress them first."

"As long as our people can occupy the city gate, we can successfully open it!"

Wang Chang saw the situation before him and had no better way; apart from a forced attack, there was no better method.

Upon hearing this, Li Su also nodded in agreement and said:

"It can only be so. Fortunately, we have enough manpower, so it's not a problem."

Seeing that the two main generals both agreed to a forced attack, Zhang Long immediately said to the two:

"Two Generals, why don't you let me lead the brothers over?"

Upon hearing this, Li Su and Wang Chang looked at each other, and Wang Chang couldn't help but ask Li Su:

"General Li, what do you say?"

Seeing this, Li Su pondered for a moment and said solemnly to Zhang Long:

"General Zhang Long, you must know that this is very dangerous. If you are discovered by the Xiongnu soldiers, you will have to rely on yourselves!"

Regarding this, Zhang Long didn't care and said heroically to the two:

"Two Generals, please rest assured, I know all this, and besides, the small Xiongnu cannot hurt me!"

Seeing this, the two couldn't say anything more and could only let Li Su warn him:

"Since that's the case, then I will trouble General Zhang Long, but you must be careful!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Long immediately showed great joy and promised the two:

"Two Generals, please rest assured!"

Immediately, Zhang Long led 500 soldiers and planned to sneak into the city gate quickly.

Seeing that Zhang Long was ready, Li Su immediately ordered the crowd behind him:

"Archers, prepare, shoot arrows at the city tower!"

Following Li Su's order, the archers, who had long been prepared, released a wave of arrows at the unprepared Xiongnu soldiers on the city tower.

"Puff, puff, puff..."

"Not good! Enemy attack!"

Facing the arrows falling from the sky, the unprepared Xiongnu soldiers were caught off guard.

Many Xiongnu soldiers who were still napping died in large numbers under this wave of arrows.

After many survivors reacted, they hurriedly shouted in panic.

Seeing this good opportunity, Zhang Long, who had been prepared on the side, immediately said to the 500 soldiers beside him:

"Good opportunity, everyone follow me and charge!"

After Zhang Long finished speaking to the crowd, he took the lead in charging toward the city gate.

By the time the Xiongnu soldiers who were dodging the arrows reacted, Zhang Long and the others had already killed their way to the front.

"Kill..."

Looking at the panicked Xiongnu soldiers with no will to fight before him, Zhang Long shouted and quickly killed his way toward them.

"Kill!"

Seeing Zhang Long charge so heroically, the crowd behind him also had their morale soar and killed the Xiongnu soldiers without hesitation.

Seeing that Zhang Long had successfully killed his way over, Li Su and Wang Chang saw such a great opportunity and immediately shouted loudly to the army:

"Good opportunity, brothers, kill!"

"Kill!"

Following Li Su's order, the army, which had long been impatient, scrambled to kill the Xiongnu army at the city gate.

"Hurry and report to the Crown Prince, the Han army has attacked into the city, please send reinforcements quickly!"

At this time, the city gate guard on the city tower saw that a large number of Han troops had already killed their way into the city, grabbed a Xiongnu soldier beside him in anxiety, and shouted at him desperately.

"Yes..."

The guard's action woke up the panicked Xiongnu soldier. After coming to his senses, he hurriedly responded.

Afterward, he ran toward the City Lord's Mansion in a panic.

"Others, follow me to resist the Han army!"

Seeing the messenger soldier leave, the guard shouted loudly to the remaining soldiers again.

However, the Xiongnu soldiers who survived at this time had long lost their will to fight, and with Li Su's large numbers, they couldn't muster the courage to resist at all.

Looking at the soldiers who didn't dare to fight, the guard was suddenly anxious and pointed at them with trembling fingers.

"You... you guys..."

"Hahaha, die!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was slashed to death by Zhang Long, who had jumped onto the city tower.

"Don't kill me, I surrender!"

Seeing such a bloody scene, the surrounding Xiongnu soldiers were all scared out of their wits.

Originally, they had been scared out of their wits in the previous wave of arrows, and now facing so many Han troops, they were even more terrified.

Moreover, Zhang Long's fierce eyes made them even more terrified.

Facing the surrendering Xiongnu soldiers, Zhang Long glanced at them coldly and said coldly to the soldiers behind him:

"Kill, leave none alive!"

"Puff, puff..."

Following Zhang Long's words, the Han soldiers who had been staring at those Xiongnu soldiers rushed up instantly and beheaded them one by one.

And at this time, Li Su and Wang Chang, who had rushed under the city gate, looked at the city gate before them and shouted urgently to the soldiers behind them:

"Quick, open the city gate!"

Only to see twenty or thirty people walk out from behind the two to open the city gate.

"Creak..."

A dull sound came out, and the tightly closed East City Gate of Linrong City was slowly opened from the inside by Li Su and the others.

"Kill!"

Just at the moment the city gate opened, Zhang Liao, who had been waiting outside the city, saw that the city gate was opened and immediately shouted loudly to the army.

……

Just as Zhang Liao and the others had already killed their way into the city from the East Gate, Liu Bao at this time also finally received the message from the soldier.

"What did you say? This is impossible!"

Liu Bao, who heard that the Han army had entered the city, shouted in disbelief at the messenger soldier.

"Crown Prince, this is true. The number of Han troops who attacked into the city is at least 4,000 to 5,000. They don't know where they sneaked into the city from, and now they are launching an attack on the East City Gate."

Seeing that Liu Bao didn't believe what he said, the messenger soldier immediately said to Liu Bao in pain.

"How is this possible? 4,000 to 5,000 people. How did they sneak into the city? Are you all a bunch of pigs?"

"So many troops sneaked into the city and you didn't know. What use are you to me!"

Hearing the soldier say that 4,000 to 5,000 people had sneaked into the city, Liu Bao roared at him in despair.

At first, he thought there were only a few dozen people and didn't care. Now, it was actually 4,000 to 5,000 people.

How could this be? How could so many troops sneak into the city without alerting them?

Could it be that these Han troops flew in from the sky? But that was impossible!

At this time, Liu Bao's heart was already a bit desperate.

After dreaming for so long, was it going to be shattered just like this?
