Chapter 391: Linrong City Broken

Zhang Long was telling the truth. In ancient times, in order to prevent enemies from sneaking in, there was always an open area at the city gate.

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

"If even someone with your Divine General Realm strength cannot sneak over, then we can only launch a frontal assault!"

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

"Currently, that's the only way. Fortunately, we are catching them off guard. Let the archers suppress them first."

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

Wang Chang saw this situation and had no better way; apart from a frontal assault, there was no better method.

Hearing this, Li Su nodded in approval and said:

"That's the only way. Fortunately, we have enough manpower, so it shouldn't be a problem."

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

"Two generals, why don't you let this subordinate lead the brothers over?"

Hearing this, Li Su and Wang Chang looked at each other, and Wang Chang could not 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!"

Zhang Long did not take it seriously and said heroically to the two:

"Two generals, please rest assured, this subordinate knows all this, and besides, these small Xiongnu cannot hurt this subordinate!"

Seeing this, the two could not say anything more and could only have Li Su admonish him:

"Since that is the case, then I will trouble General Zhang Long. However, you must be careful!"

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

"Two generals, please rest assured!"

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

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

"Archers, get ready, fire arrows at the city tower!"

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

"Pfft, pfft, pfft..."

"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 dozing off were killed or injured in 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 five hundred soldiers beside him:

"Good opportunity, everyone follow me and charge!"

After Zhang Long finished speaking to the group, he took the lead and charged toward the city gate.

By the time the Xiongnu soldiers who were dodging the arrows reacted, Zhang Long and the others had already arrived before them.

"Kill..."

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

"Kill!"

Seeing Zhang Long charge so heroically, the group 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, seeing such a great opportunity, 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 immediately!"

At this time, the city gate guard on the city tower, seeing that a large number of Han troops had killed their way into the city, anxiously grabbed a Xiongnu soldier beside him and shouted at him with all his might.

"Yes..."

The guard's actions woke the panicked Xiongnu soldier, who hurriedly responded after coming to his senses.

Then, he ran toward the City Lord's Manor in a panic.

"Others, follow me to defend against the Han army!"

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

However, the Xiongnu soldiers who survived at this time had long lost their will to fight, and with Li Su's numbers being so large, they simply could not muster the courage to resist.

Looking at the soldiers who dared not fight, the guard became 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 leaped 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 by 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!"

"Pfft, pfft..."

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

At this time, Li Su and Wang Chang, who had rushed under the city gate, looked at the city gate in front of them and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind them:

"Quick, open the city gate!"

Two or thirty people walked out from behind the two and went up 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!"

The moment the city gate opened, Zhang Liao, who had been waiting outside the city, saw the city gate open and immediately shouted loudly to the army.

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

"What did you say? This is impossible!"

Hearing that the Han army had entered the city, Liu Bao shouted in disbelief to the messenger soldier.

"Crown Prince, this is true. The number of Han troops who attacked into the city is at least four or five thousand. They don't know where they snuck into the city from, and they are now launching an attack on the East City Gate."

Seeing that Liu Bao did not believe what he said, the messenger soldier immediately said painfully to Liu Bao in a panic.

"How is this possible? Four or five thousand people! How did they sneak into the city? Are you all a bunch of pigs?"

"So many troops snuck into the city and you didn't know! What use do I have for you!"

Hearing the soldier say that there were four or five thousand people who snuck 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, there were actually four or five thousand people.

How could this be? How could so many troops sneak into the city successfully 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 somewhat desperate.

Had the dream he had been having for so long been shattered just like that? ===== CHAPTER 392 =====
