Chapter 186: The Qinglong Army Arrives

At this time, Shen Pei and Yan Rou, standing on the city tower, looked at each other, both a bit speechless.

"Gongsun Zan, I, this General, also advise you to surrender early; I might still be able to request His Majesty to leave you a whole corpse!"

"If you dare to resist again, you will be executed to the ninth degree, and moreover, General Guan Yu of the Qinglong Army has already led one hundred thousand Qinglong Army to Youzhou; you have no chance!"

Yan Rou shouted loudly to Gongsun Zan under the city.

Yan Rou's words instantly caused an uproar in Gongsun Zan's army.

The soldiers who did not know the situation also became a bit panicked.

The morale that Gongsun Zan had painstakingly stirred up was easily dissolved by Yan Rou's one sentence.

"Hmph, Yan Rou, don't be proud; after I breach the city, I will torture you well!"

Gongsun Zan, burning with rage, threw a harsh threat at Yan Rou.

Then he turned around and said loudly to the sixty thousand troops who had fallen into panic:

"Soldiers, just as the enemy general said, the imperial court has already dispatched one hundred thousand Qinglong Army to Youzhou!"

"You might as well think about it: with what we have done, will the imperial court let us off?"

After the soldiers heard Gongsun Zan's words, they also fell into a silence.

Seeing that the soldiers' emotions began to stabilize, Gongsun Zan continued:

"I, this General, can tell you clearly that the imperial court will not let us off."

"This is a crime punishable by execution to the ninth degree, so we only have to pick up the weapons in our hands to have a glimmer of survival!"

"Therefore, for our own sake, and for the sake of our families, we only have to fight them to the death!"

"Now, I, this General, ask you: do you dare to fight them to the death with me?"

Following Gongsun Zan's impassioned roar, everyone's emotions were instantly stirred up.

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

Sixty thousand troops all roared angrily with excited expressions.

Morale instantly soared to the clouds.

Seeing this, Gongsun Zan also nodded in satisfaction.

"This Gongsun Zan still has some ability to be able to awe Liaoxi!"

Seeing Gongsun Zan able to stir up the morale of the army under such circumstances.

Shen Pei couldn't help but exclaim.

"If this Gongsun Zan could submit to the imperial court, he would be a pretty good general."

"It's a pity that he gave birth to thoughts he shouldn't have!"

On the side, Yan Rou, who heard Shen Pei's words, also couldn't help but exclaim.

Just as Shen Pei and the two were exclaiming, they heard Gongsun Zan under the city suddenly shout loudly:

"Generals, take orders! Attack!"

"Kill!"

Gongsun Zan's words fell, and the White Horse Volunteers commander Yan Gang charged out first.

The sixty thousand troops behind him instantly charged toward the foot of Shangyin City.

In an instant, the great battle of the siege broke out!

"Archers, fire arrows!"

Watching the enemy charge over, Yan Rou waited for the enemy to enter the attack range of the archers and immediately shouted loudly.

"Whoosh..."

"Ah!"

"Ah..."

After a burst of piercing sounds, many people in Gongsun Zan's army were shot and killed by this wave of arrow rain.

"Shield soldiers, hold on! Protect the siege equipment!"

Gongsun Zan, who was responsible for commanding the army, saw the archers on the city tower firing arrows and shouted loudly.

In order to breach Shangyin City, this time Gongsun Zan had even found the siege engines.

"General Yan Rou, the enemy has siege engines; tell the soldiers to prepare fire oil and destroy them!"

Seeing that Gongsun Zan had actually dispatched siege engines, Shen Pei immediately shouted loudly.

Actually, without Shen Pei's reminder, Yan Rou also knew how to respond.

Immediately, he ordered the soldiers to bring fire oil.

After the siege engines arrived at the city gate, Yan Rou immediately shouted loudly:

"Pour the fire oil!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers who had long been prepared poured the fire oil down directly.

"Bad! This is fire oil, retreat quickly!"

The enemy troops below, upon seeing that it was fire oil, were shocked and hurriedly shouted loudly.

However, at this time, the city gate was completely crowded with people; how could they dodge quickly.

Before they could retreat, the fire oil had already been ignited.

"Ah..."

"It's on fire, help!"

"Help, I don't want to die!"

For a time, the entire city gate became a purgatory.

"Damnable!"

Seeing the siege engines burned, Gongsun Zan cursed angrily.

"Kill!"

Just at this time, from behind Gongsun Zan, suddenly came the earth-shaking sound of killing.

"What's going on?"

Gongsun Zan, hearing the movement, asked the people beside him.

Seeing this, the crowd also shook their heads.

"General, listening to this sound, it seems to be the sound of a large cavalry force moving out."

At this time, Guan Jing recognized this sound and immediately said to Gongsun Zan.

"Cavalry? I, this General, did not dispatch cavalry; our White Horse Volunteers are here!"

Gongsun Zan, who heard Guan Jing's words, said with confusion.

"Bad!"

Just as Gongsun Zan's words fell, the crowd was also immediately shocked.

Cold sweat flowed down their bodies instantly.

Since it wasn't their cavalry, then it was the enemy army.

This is the rhythm of being surrounded!

"Do you know whose army it is? How many people are there?"

The panicked Gongsun Zan asked the crowd loudly.

Upon hearing this, the crowd looked at each other and shook their heads one after another.

"Report..."

Just at this time, the messenger soldier ran over in a panic, and after seeing Gongsun Zan and the others, said with a face full of terror:

"General, suddenly tens of thousands of troops appeared behind us; they are carrying the banner of the Han Empire's Qinglong Army!"

"This is impossible! How could the Qinglong Army appear behind our army? You must be faking the military order!"

"Someone, take him down and behead him!"

Gongsun Zan, who heard the messenger soldier's words, roared at him in disbelief.

Guan Yu's Qinglong Army would kill from behind them? How is this possible?

He Guan Yu could reach Youzhou within seven or eight days, which would already be very fast; it is impossible for him to have bypassed to their rear in such a short time.

Seeing Gongsun Zan wanting to kill him, the messenger soldier was suddenly anxious and shouted loudly to Gongsun Zan:

"General, spare my life! This small one dares not deceive the General; the army behind is truly carrying the banner of the Qinglong Army!"

Hearing the messenger soldier's words again, Guan Jing, Tian Kai, Jian Yong, and the others suddenly had faces full of deathly gray.

It seems that this time, they are going to completely finish here!

"This is impossible!"

"How could the Qinglong Army be so fast!"

And at this time, Gongsun Zan also fell into a daze; this news was no less than a bolt from the blue for him.

"Kill..."

"Capture Gongsun Zan alive!"

"Gongsun Zan, die!"

Just as Gongsun Zan and the others were still doubting life, Guan Yu's Qinglong Army had already killed into his army.

I only saw Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhou Cang, like a sharp sword, fiercely tearing a gap in his army.

And after every attack by the three, over ten people flew backward; the entire army was actually not a match for the Qinglong Army!

At the same time, the gate of Shangyin City was also opened, and Yan Rou led the army to kill out from inside the city. ===== CHAPTER 187 =====
