Chapter 203: Taking Chengdu

~7 min read 1,291 words

With the destruction of Liu Dai, it also declared that Yanzhou had returned to Liu Bian's control.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yun's Baihu Legion had also arrived in Chengdu.

After more than half a month of fighting, the natural barriers of Yizhou, under Liu Bian's map, did not pose the slightest obstacle to Zhao Yun's Baihu Legion.

In just over half a month, Zhao Yun had fought from Sili to Chengdu.

As long as he could resolve Liu Zhang and his advisors and generals in Chengdu, Yizhou would basically be subdued.

At this time, Chengdu had already been surrounded by Zhao Yun's twenty thousand Baihu Legion troops.

In order to annihilate Liu Zhang and his partisans in one fell swoop, Zhao Yun adopted the same strategy as Lü Bu.

Zhao Yun and the three Baihu Legion generals under his command each led fifty thousand troops to take one gate.

Meanwhile, inside Chengdu, Liu Zhang had also gathered his advisors and generals.

"This damned Zhao Yun, I didn't expect that just such a person of no fame would actually force me into such a situation!"

"He even beheaded my eight major martial generals: Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Liu Gui, Fei Guan, Yan Yan, Fu Jin, Xiang Cun, and Zhang Yi!"

"Now, he actually dares to surround my Chengdu, which is guarded by twenty thousand troops!"

"Leng Bao, Deng Xian, Wu Yi, Li Yan, Wu Lan, Lei Tong, Meng Da, Huang Quan!"

The eight people Liu Zhang called by name immediately stepped forward and responded loudly to Liu Zhang:

"This general is here!"

Liu Zhang looked at the eight people majestically and shouted in a booming voice:

"You eight, two will be responsible for one gate."

"I do not believe that Zhao Yun only has twenty thousand troops. Even if he has heaven-defying ability, he cannot take my Chengdu, which is guarded by so many martial generals and twenty thousand troops."

"This general obeys the order!"

After hearing Liu Zhang's arrangement, the eight turned and left.

"Order the army to start attacking the city!"

At this time, outside Chengdu, Zhao Yun ordered the messenger soldier.

"Yes, General!"

"The general has ordered, the whole army attack the city!"

Following Zhao Yun's military order, the twenty thousand Baihu Legion troops began a large-scale attack.

When Li Yan, Leng Bao, and the others sent by Liu Zhang climbed the city walls, they saw that Zhao Yun had already launched an attack.

"Come, move the prepared thunder stones and rolling logs up immediately."

"Archers, shoot and kill the enemy army from a distance!"

Li Yan, Leng Bao, and the others who climbed the city walls immediately organized the army to start defending.

Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, and other generals who saw the enemy shooting arrows while charging forward immediately shouted to the army:

"Shields, defend!"

"Ding, ding, ding..."

Only to see a wave of arrows from the Yizhou army all shooting onto the shields of the Baihu Army.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this scene, Li Yan and the others cursed secretly.

And just as Li Yan and the others on the city walls were dealing with the Baihu Army's attack,

at this time, at the North Gate, members of the Shadow Guards had long disguised themselves as defending soldiers.

Only to see them taking advantage of the moment when Leng Bao and Deng Xian on the city walls were commanding the army,

they took the opportunity to launch an attack on the defending soldiers.

Since most of the Shadow Guard members had Postnatal Realm strength, everyone easily opened the city gates.

Xu Huang, who was attacking the North Gate, thus drove straight in, leading fifty thousand troops into the city.

"Not good, there is an enemy army in the city; they have opened the city gates. General Deng, retreat quickly!"

At this time, Leng Bao, after reacting, saw that Xu Huang had already charged into the city.

He immediately shouted to Deng Xian with eyes splitting with rage.

"Damn it! Hurry and leave, let's go report to my lord."

"The enemy army has already entered the city; if we don't leave now, it will be too late!"

At this time, Deng Xian looked at the city gate and saw countless Baihu troops already charging into the city.

Immediately, he also shouted to Leng Bao anxiously.

Both knew that Chengdu could not be held.

Although they also had twenty thousand troops, as long as the city gates were broken,

the soldiers would have no courage to resist the enemy, and defeat was only a matter of time.

However, the figures of the two had long been targeted by the Shadow Guards.

How could they let them go just like that.

"Leng Bao, Deng Xian, I will give you two one chance. As long as you submit to His Majesty, I can guarantee to spare your lives!"

At this time, two Shadow Guard leaders blocked their path and shouted in a booming voice.

"Hmph, you are the Shadow Guards in Liu Bian's hands; you are truly a group of rats living in the dark!"

Seeing that it was the Shadow Guards, Leng Bao stared at the two with bloodshot eyes, cursing fiercely.

If it weren't for the Shadow Guards, the city gate they were defending would not have been opened.

"Hmph, ignorant of life and death. Since you are seeking death, then we will fulfill your wish!"

Seeing the two being so ignorant, the two Shadow Guard members did not talk nonsense and immediately killed toward the two.

"Hmph, just right, let this general see how strong the legendary Shadow Guards are!"

Seeing the two killing toward them, Leng Bao snorted disdainfully.

Together with Deng Xian, he killed toward the two.

"Ding!"

"Puchi, puchi!"

Only to see Deng Xian and Leng Bao, the moment their weapons made contact with the two, were sent flying by the powerful strength of the Shadow Guards.

They smashed heavily onto the ground, and a mouthful of old blood sprayed out on the spot.

"This is impossible! How can you be so strong!"

Leng Bao, who had fallen to the ground, said to the two in disbelief.

"This general does not believe it; this is fake!"

On the other side, Deng Xian also ignored his injuries and shouted in disbelief.

"Take them down, and hand them over to General Zhao Yun in a while!"

The two ignored the two Leng Bao and shouted to the Shadow Guard members behind them.

After resolving the two Leng Bao and Deng Xian, others also joined the battlefield.

And meanwhile, the other three gates had also been broken.

Large numbers of Baihu Legion troops charged into the city.

The four gates had also been controlled by the Baihu Army.

Chengdu was now a place where even a fly could not fly out.

And Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Xu Huang, and Cao Hong led the army, killing all the way toward the Prefect's Mansion.

Along the way, any Yizhou army that dared to resist was all beheaded.

Those who were timid, seeing this outcome, chose to surrender one after another.

However, most of the soldiers chose to surrender.

After all, nearly half of them were forcibly conscripted by Liu Zhang later.

Moreover, they also yearned for Liu Bian's policies.

Now that Liu Zhang had been defeated, there was no need to sell their lives for him.

Soon, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan and the others had already arrived at the Prefect's Mansion.

And at this time, Liu Zhang had long had no way out.

He was waiting for Zhao Yun's arrival, accompanied by a group of advisors and martial generals.

"Step, step, step..."

With heavy footsteps approaching, a group of Baihu Army soldiers also charged into the hall. ===== CHAPTER 204 =====
