Chapter 323: Shangjun City Falls

After deciding to flee, Niu Gao immediately waved his hand at the soldier and said with feigned calmness: "You go tell the soldiers first, don't panic. I will go change my clothes and go to the city tower immediately."

Seeing Niu Gao's confident appearance, the soldier's panicked expression calmed down. After cupping his hands, he left the Taishou Fu.

Watching the soldier leave, Niu Gao immediately called his trusted aide and whispered in his ear.

Afterwards, the trusted aide left quickly, and Niu Gao hurried to the backyard of the Taishou Fu.

"General, I believe that Niu Gao will never defend the city to the death upon seeing our army."

"And as Niu Fu's cousin, he will never surrender to us. Therefore, I conclude that he will definitely abandon the city and flee. General, you can send a team to ambush at the East Gate."

Xi Zhicai checked the time and reminded Zhang Liao beside him.

"Oh, why does the Military Advisor conclude that he will flee from the East Gate and not from the North Gate? You must know that the North Gate is the closest to Jinyang."

Zhang Liao asked, puzzled, after hearing Xi Zhicai's words.

"Hehe, we have our people at the West Gate, East Gate, and South Gate, and the North Gate was deliberately left for Niu Gao. Seeing this situation, he will definitely not flee from the North Gate."

"And the East Gate is the closest place to Jinyang besides the North Gate. Therefore, I conclude that he will definitely flee from the East Gate."

Looking at the confusion on Zhang Liao's face, Xi Zhicai said with a confident expression.

"Hehehe, the Military Advisor is truly talented. Let's do as the Military Advisor says."

"Zhang Long, you lead two thousand men to ambush at the East Gate. Remember, you must not let Niu Gao escape."

Zhang Liao first said to Xi Zhicai, then said to a Colonel with the strength of a first-rate martial general.

"This subordinate obeys!"

Zhang Long immediately stepped out, cupped his hands to Zhang Liao, and then left with his two thousand soldiers.

"General, you can order the attack on the city. Half a quarter-hour has passed, and Niu Gao has not appeared. Attacking now, the enemy will be leaderless, and our casualties can be minimized."

Looking at the time, Xi Zhicai reminded Zhang Liao.

Hearing this, Zhang Liao nodded, drew the long sword from his waist, and roared loudly: "The whole army, listen to my order! Time is up, attack the city!"

After speaking, he charged out first, and the people behind him followed suit one after another.

Suddenly, the guards in the city heard the sound of a large army charging and hurriedly looked down.

The guards who saw the scene below all turned pale.

What met their eyes was a dense army of cavalry, whose momentum of charging forward could instantly destroy a city.

"It's bad, the enemy is attacking! Where is Lord Niu Gao?"

"We can't hold them off! Their momentum is too strong. With so few of us, we can't hold them off at all!"

"Where is Lord Niu Gao..."

Suddenly, a cry of alarm rang out in the city, and everyone was shrouded in fear.

At this time, everyone realized that Taishou Niu Gao had not appeared until now.

Not mentioning the fear of the guards in the city, Zhang Liao led the army to the city gates very quickly.

Zhang Liao leaped up on his horse, mobilized the internal energy in his dantian, and slashed fiercely at the city gate with his sword.

"Bang!"

The sturdy city gate was instantly smashed into a large hole. At this time, the people behind Zhang Liao also arrived in front of the city gate and followed Zhang Liao's actions.

They all mobilized the internal energy in their dantians and slashed at the city gate. In an instant, the sturdy city gate was torn apart under their combined attack.

Afterwards, the army rushed into the city very quickly.

"What, they are not human! What kind of divine strength is this? The city gate was smashed by them!"

"Flee, hurry and flee! The enemy is not human, it's too terrifying..."

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

"Surrender, I surrender, don't kill me..."

Seeing the strength of Zhang Liao and the others, the guards in the city were all scared silly.

Is this kind of great power something that humans can possess? This is too terrifying!

Such a thick city gate was actually smashed by a few people with a few sword strikes!!!

Soon, a sound of panic rang out in the city. As Zhang Liao and the others broke through the city gate, the guards in the city instantly lost the will to resist.

With the appearance of the first person to surrender, soon, everyone gave up resistance, threw away their weapons, and knelt down to surrender.

"Li Da, you lead people to control the four city gates. Only entry is allowed, no exit."

"Others, follow me to the Taishou Fu to capture Niu Gao."

After breaking into Shangjun City, Zhang Liao immediately arranged for the people around him.

Afterwards, a group of people headed straight for the Taishou Fu...

At this time, Niu Gao had already led the money and a group of trusted aides from the mansion and quietly exited from the East Gate.

Just in time, he ran into Zhang Long, who had been lying in ambush there for a long time.

"Hahahaha, Niu Gao, didn't expect it, did you? The Military Advisor knew long ago that you would abandon the city and flee. I have been waiting here for a long time!"

Seeing Niu Gao and the others fleeing in a sorry state from the East Gate, Zhang Liao immediately spurred his horse forward and laughed loudly at Niu Gao.

Seeing that the other side had already set up an ambush, Niu Gao was a little shocked, but seeing that the person who came was an unknown person, he instantly regained his confidence.

"Hehe, does Zhang Liao have no one to use? How could he send an unknown junior like you to deal with me!"

"Kid, if you don't want to die, hurry and get out of the way for this Lord, otherwise, I will definitely make you die without a burial place!"

Niu Gao stepped forward and said arrogantly to Zhang Long, his expression full of contempt and disdain.

If it were Zhang Liao who came, he, Niu Gao, would still give him three points of courtesy. But just an unknown junior like Zhang Long, with his strength as a third-rate martial general, wanted to keep him? Wasn't that a joke?

"Hehehe, ignorant thing, just based on you, you are worthy of fighting me? Who will go and kill him for me?"

Seeing Niu Gao's contempt, Zhang Long smiled coldly, looking at him as if he were looking at a dead person.

He turned his head and said to the soldiers behind him.

"General, this person only has the strength of a third-rate martial general, he is not worthy of fighting the General. Let this subordinate go and kill this person."

Hearing Zhang Long's words, a Centurion walked out of the team and said respectfully to Zhang Long.

"Good, you go and kill this person. I will definitely report it truthfully to the General."

Seeing that it was a Centurion with the strength of a second-rate martial general, Zhang Long immediately said to him.

"Kid, you are bullying people too much, how dare you humiliate this Taishou! After I take you down, I will definitely make you wish you were dead!"

Seeing that Zhang Long actually disdained to fight him but sent his subordinate, Niu Gao was instantly furious.

His face flushed red as he roared at Zhang Long.

Afterwards, he roared at the people behind him: "Attack, kill them for this Taishou! Keep that kid, I want to deal with him properly!"

"Kill..."

Suddenly, the two sides engaged in battle. However, how could these ordinary soldiers be the opponents of the Bingzhou Army soldiers who had cultivated martial arts techniques?

Just one contact, and most of the men Niu Gao brought were killed or injured, and he himself was captured alive.

Soon, the men Niu Gao brought were all killed, and he himself was brought before Zhang Long. ===== CHAPTER 324 =====
