Chapter 367

Looking at the Gu Yi army getting closer and closer to Runan City not far away.

Xia Houyuan undoubtedly fell into a fierce struggle.

And Le Jin, who was standing beside him, also had a hesitant expression on his face.

If "Qu Yi" and these 20,000 Yuan troops really died under Runan City because of Xia Houyuan's failure to save them.

I fear Yuan Tan and the subsequent 50,000 Yuan troops would definitely pat their butts and leave immediately, and would not continue to rush to Runan to support Xia Houyuan.

Even more, the alliance relationship between the Yuan and Cao sides would also be greatly affected.

Facing Xia Houyuan's gaze toward him, Le Jin said:

"General Miaocai, open the door."

"If you don't open the door again."

"The army under Gu Linzhi's command will probably really annihilate this Qu Yi and the 20,000 Yuan troops!"

Seeing that Le Jin had also agreed to open the city gate, Xia Houyuan finally stopped hesitating.

With the opening of the Runan city gate.

"Qu Yi" and 20,000 soldiers wearing Yuan army clothes quickly entered from the city gate.

Seeing this, Le Jin quickly walked to the bottom of the city tower and said to the "Qu Yi" in front of him:

"Many hands make light work."

"General Qu, please lead your army to assist our army in executing city defense work."

However, this Qu Yi did not answer Le Jin directly.

Instead, he showed an extremely ghostly smile.

He saw him look up at Le Jin and ask back:

"You say I am Qu Yi, right?"

"Sorry, general."

"There is no Qu Yi here at all."

"I am Zhang Xiu, the General of Fenwei under Prime Minister Gu!"

A sudden change!

Le Jin's pupils shrank, and he quickly retreated.

But before his body was completely away from Zhang Xiu, he had already been pierced by the golden spear in Zhang Xiu's hand!

"Pfft!"

A big blood hole appeared on Le Jin's body.

As the saying goes, no matter how high your martial arts are, you are afraid of kitchen knives.

Le Jin's own martial arts, although not weak.

But Zhang Xiu didn't talk about martial arts at all, and what he took against Le Jin was a naked sneak attack!

The speed was as fast as lightning!

At a very short distance, Zhang Xiu completed the instant kill of Le Jin.

Qu Yi had never participated in the coalition crusade against Dong Zhuo, so he didn't know the generals of the Cao camp.

And Zhang Xiu had also never met these generals of the Cao camp.

Therefore.

Whether it was Xia Houyuan or Le Jin, they couldn't recognize him.

Besides this.

Qu Yi was from Beidi Commandery in Liangzhou, and Zhang Xiu was also from Beidi Commandery!

The accents of the two were both Liangzhou accents, perfectly achieving the fake being real.

Of course, Zhang Xiu and the 20,000 soldiers under his command.

The main reason they were able to deceive Xia Houyuan and Le Jin.

Was because they were wearing Yuan army clothes!

And this is thanks to Gao Lan, who surrendered to Gu Yi after the last coalition war.

As a general of the Yuan army, Gao Lan naturally knew the various intelligence of the Yuan army.

And for Gu Yi, who is wealthy and arrogant.

Imitating some clothes worn by enemy soldiers is not a difficult task.

Not only Yuan army soldiers, but also Cao army soldiers' clothes, Gu Yi also had them.

The purpose is to be prepared for any unexpected needs.

Today, the clothes worn by the Yuan army soldiers really came in handy.

Zhang Xiu and these 20,000 soldiers who deceived the Runan city gate were like a sharp sword blade, stabbing fiercely at the Cao army in Runan City.

Le Jin is dead.

For the morale of the Cao army, it was a huge blow.

Xia Houyuan endured the anger in his heart and commanded the Cao army soldiers to block the gap occupied by Zhang Xiu and the Dong Zhuo army.

However.

The city gate is open, how can it be closed again?

What's more.

More and more Dong Zhuo army soldiers not far away had already killed toward Runan City.

The fall of the city was only a matter of time.

"General, you should go quickly!"

"If you don't go, I fear..."

Beside Xia Houyuan, a partial general said with hesitation.

Although the total number of Cao troops in Runan City reached more than 50,000.

But after Zhang Xiu deceived the city gate, the morale of the Cao army had declined to an irrecoverable point.

If Xia Houyuan was determined not to leave.

I fear it would not change any situation.

On the contrary, he would pay his own life for it.

"I am the defender of Yuzhou, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, how can I retreat privately?"

A trace of grief and indignation appeared in Xia Houyuan's eyes.

It was precisely because of his negligence and carelessness that Le Jin died at the hands of Zhang Xiu.

Nowadays.

If Runan City is captured by Gu Yi.

All the hard work of the lord Cao Cao will be in vain.

For Xia Houyuan, this is absolutely unacceptable!

Is Xia Houyuan powerful?

Among the generals of the Cao camp, his ability and status are quite top-notch.

In history, he once walked the Guan-You region and raided people for thousands of miles.

Becoming the strongest barrier Cao Cao placed in the Guanxi region!

But Xia Houyuan has a fatal flaw.

That is, in his eyes, unless it is a last resort, he will never retreat.
