The Peerless God-level System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 145

"Lord Li, don't worry, as long as the army outside the city arrives, I guarantee that the city gate will be opened!"

Lai Gong blushed and said seriously.

"It's not too late, we start preparations now, first kill the traitor Wu Ju'an planted, so as not to leak the news."

Xue Zong is decisive, once a decision is made, it is put into action.

All of this happened under extremely secretive circumstances. On other days, Wu Ju would have noticed it a long time ago. However, now that the army is gathering outside the city, all his thoughts are focused on how to deal with Yuan Yao. It is very easy for him. Xue Zong killed all the traitors planted overnight. At the same time, Lai Gong ordered his family members to hide in the secret passage, and then boldly summoned soldiers to wait for tomorrow's battle.

At the same time, outside Cangwu City, the originally quiet army suddenly became commotion, and in the distance, there were still waves of shouts of killing.

The defenders on the city heard the movement and rushed to report to Wu Ju. Wu Ju just happened to be patrolling the city. When he saw the commotion of the enemy troops outside the city, he was also curious and hurried over to observe carefully.

At this time, Yuan Yao's camp outside the city was completely in chaos, and there were still large fires that appeared from time to time. Although the fire was extinguished quickly, it could still be seen that Yuan Yao's military camp was probably under attack.

But at this time, who else dared to attack Yuan Yao, except Gao Xiang, Wu Ju almost immediately thought of the ins and outs of the matter, couldn't help being overjoyed, and laughed loudly: "It's good to burn, kill me hard, It would be even better if Yuan Yao was killed in the chaos."

However, he also understands that the chance of this kind of situation happening is extremely small, and it can only be a dry addiction.

The staff next to him quietly reminded: "My lord, Gao Xiang has few soldiers and has come from a long way away. I'm afraid he is not Yuan Yao's opponent. We should find a way to meet him."

Wu Ju woke up suddenly, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, pass my order quickly, quickly gather soldiers and horses, once you see Gao Xiang's army and horses coming, open the city gate and let them enter the city."

There were also cautious aides who advised: "My lord, you should be more careful. In case Yuan Yao deliberately pretends to be Gao Xiang's army horse and comes to deceive the city, it will be difficult to confirm."

Just at this time, Lai Gong came up, heard this, sneered, and teased: "If I go down with my soldiers and horses to meet up, the city gate is still too dangerous, if you hurt the prefect Wu, it's not good .”

Wu Ju suppressed his anger, glared fiercely at the staff member, and said angrily, "Brother Gao came here to help me. If you don't accept him behind closed doors, what will it look like? Send me a military order, and the whole army is on alert, ready to meet the friendly army."

In the end, Wu Ju listened to it a bit, and knew that the whole army was on alert. In that way, even if Yuan Yao cheated, with only a few thousand troops, he would not be afraid.

At this time, the sound of fighting outside was getting closer and closer, and I saw more than a thousand people running wildly, using shields to cover the dense rain of arrows behind them, and another middle-aged scholar, lying on the saddle, Under the protection of the guards, he rushed to this side.

Behind them, Yuan Yao's thousands of soldiers rushed forward, clenching tightly.

It was only because of the chaos in the rear that the number of pursuers seemed a little less.

When Wu Ju saw it in the city, he had no doubts, and hurriedly ordered the archers to prepare. When the thousand or so people arrived at the city, they would shoot arrows at random to stop the pursuers.

At this time, the scribe also straightened up, and immediately shouted: "The one in the city is Wu Taishou, and I am Xu Jing, open the city gate quickly, the pursuers are coming soon!"

"What! It's Xu Jing!"

Wu Ju was startled, and ran to the edge of the city himself. He recognized Xu Jing, and he had no doubts, so he hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened. Being shot by bows and arrows, he had no choice but to retreat back to the camp cursingly. Afterwards, the shouts of killing from the barracks outside the city also stopped. Presumably, Gao Xiang's surprise attack this time was to send Xu Jing into the city.

As for Xu Jing being kept by Gao Xiangqiang's side, Wu Ju also knew it. At that time, he had envied Gao Xiang for a long time, and secretly sighed that he had lost the upper hand. If he had known it, it would be the same. However, today's Xu Jing, after all, came to rescue his allies Wu Ju didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried down the wall to catch Xu Jing.

Despite fleeing for his life all the way, Xu Jing remained extremely calm except for his slightly pale face.

The two were also acquainted and greeted each other.Wu Ju asked, "Where did Wenxiu come from, and where did Brother Gao's soldiers go?"

Xu Jing sighed: "Yuan Yao is powerful, my lord dare not resist directly, so I was sent to the city first to inform the prefect Wu, please prepare your army early tomorrow morning to welcome my lord into the city."

"Naturally, Wen Xiuyuan came here to be tired, let's take a rest first, and I will send people to rectify the troops. As soon as Brother Gao's army arrives, we will cooperate with each other and kill Liu Shang by surprise."

Wu Ju hurriedly assured him, held Xu Jing back, and walked towards his mansion.

Xu Jing followed the footsteps, panting: "The army outside the city is powerful, Mr. Wu must be fully prepared, if Yuan Yao takes the opportunity to attack the city, it will not be good."

"I know that."

While Wu Ju was talking, the two had already arrived at the prefect's mansion. The generals heard that reinforcements were coming, and it was Xu Jing and other famous people who came to inquire, and Lai Gong was also caught in the middle. smile.

However, Yuan Yao's camp outside the city, seeing Xu Jing successfully entered the city, he also made people put away the pots and pans, and put out the fire. Qin Qiong came to see him, and there was Gao Xiang, in his forties, but tall He is fair and tall, and he is also a martial artist.

Seeing Yuan Yao, Gao Xiang hurriedly fell to his knees, not daring to look at Yuan Yao's face, but only praised: "The sinner, Gao Xiang, has met Yuan Zhoumu."

Today's Yuan Yao has been in a high position for a long time, and his prestige has long surpassed his age. Yuan Yao has already begun to show the natural oppressive temperament of a superior. Gao Xiang, a defeated general and a criminal, how can he not Terrified, he just knelt down wholeheartedly, hoping that Yuan Yao would spare his life for the sake of his obedience.

In Yuan Yao's eyes, the current Gao Xiang is just a small shrimp, it doesn't matter whether he is killed or not, and there is still a place where he is needed, Yuan Yao also smiled, walked down the steps himself, and helped Gao Xiang up on the ground , smiled and said: "Yuanfeng lost his way and knew his way back. It is a blessing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. You are here to congratulate the people of Han and Yue, and to keep one side safe. This is a great service. If this matter happens, I will report it to the court and ask for your help." The official bestowed the title."

As the victor, Gao Xiang was flattered by Yuan Yao's attitude. Originally, he thought that even if he did not die, he might be deposed as a commoner. It seemed that he might have a chance to regain his official status. He didn't like it, but , He also knew that his future was in the hands of this little baby in front of him, so he had to make up his mind and said gratefully: "Thank you, my lord, for not giving up. I have nothing to repay you. I can only do my best to share my worries."

Most people will inevitably complain about the change of status, but it is rare for Gao Xiang to be able to afford it and let it go.

Yuan Yao was also surprised. He patted Gao Xiang's shoulder heavily, pulled her to sit beside him, and said with a smile: "You were injured originally, so I shouldn't have called you here at this time. It's just the situation of Cangwu. You are also clear, now I have something I want you to do, I don't know what Yuanfeng wants?"

Gao Xiang nodded again and again, and said: "But according to the lord's order, the subordinates will never say anything!"

Yuan Yao was even more pleased. He felt that Gao Xiang's bones might be a little weak, but he was still a talent. As long as he was not given military power, he would be more than enough to be a county magistrate.

Immediately, Yuan Yao ordered Gao Xiang to rest for the night, dress neatly, and use Cheng Yaojin as the deputy general, with three thousand soldiers from the mountains, and Gao Xiang's original soldiers, all dressed properly, camped in the mountains ten miles away from the army.

The next day was bright, and suddenly, the sound of war drums came from Yuan Yao's camp, and afterward, the sound of fighting all over the sky could be heard clearly even in Cangwu City.

Wu Ju had been waiting seriously for a long time, and waited and watched from the top of the city.

After waiting for a long time, I saw a big army horse appearing from a distance, and on the leading flag, there was a big "high" character, which was extremely conspicuous.

At this time, Gao Xiang's army was fighting and retreating, and wanted to kill here.

Yuan Yao's army clung tightly to Gao Xiang, wanting to surround him.

The situation was critical, Wu Ju gave an order, and the long-prepared army opened the city gate. Go to Yuan Yao's barracks.

Facing enemies on both sides, Yuan Yao obviously struggled to resist. Although he didn't collapse, he gradually changed from attack to defense. Even the cavalry battalion was blocked by the large number of fires lit by Gao Xiang and could not move forward.

Coupled with Wu Ju's sudden attack, Yuan Yao's army was defeated, so he could only retreat to the camp, and the bows and arrows in the camp were also shot in disorder.

Gao Xiang took the opportunity to lead his troops to break out of the siege, Muli followed, the two sides notified their names, they did not dare to fight, they all moved towards the city gate at high speed.

At this time, Qin Qiong led the cavalry battalion again, went around from the side, and came to rob and kill.

Muli was annoyed at the side, and he led thousands of his subordinates, all of them with big spears and long halberds, to rush forward.

Qin Qiong knew how powerful it was, and hurriedly turned to harass from the two wings.

Seeing Wu Ju from behind, he urged his troops to advance.

Countless arrows rained out, the army besieged the city on all sides, and the troops were scattered. As a last resort, they abandoned the camp and retreated.

With divine help, Wu Juru chased and killed Yuan Yao for three or four li along the way, only to lead the victorious soldiers back to the city when he saw Yuan Yao's soldiers and horses approaching.

At the gate of the city, Wu Ju happened to meet Gao Xiang who was there at the same time. The two met and greeted each other.

Wu Ju said in high spirits: "Brother Gao is really a blessed general. As soon as you come, Liu Shang will retreat."

Gao Xiang also laughed happily, and said: "It's all thanks to Wu Taishou's strong soldiers and horses, I'm just icing on the cake."

Wu Ju was even more proud, and walking side by side with Gao Xiang, he ordered the city gate to be reopened. When Gao Xiang's soldiers saw him, they swarmed in.

Wu Juben's team was in a mess, and another dark and strong man, naked, with a Xuanhua ax on his shoulder, squeezed towards this side.

Wu Ju frowned slightly, and said a little displeased: "Who is this person, so rude!"

Gao Xiang's expression darkened, he grabbed Wu Ju's rein and said, "This subordinate is so rude, I made you laugh at me, let me go there, and make this guy kneel down and confess to you!"

Wu Ju didn't doubt that he was there, so he went forward with dozens of soldiers.

At this time, because Gao Xiang's soldiers rushed into the city, Wu Ju's troops were crowded on both sides. As Wu Ju walked forward, he happened to be surrounded by Gao Xiang's soldiers. That dark man, needless to say, It was Cheng Yaojin.

Seeing Wu Ju approaching, Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed, spit, clasped his hands, and charged towards him with Xuanhua ax on his shoulder, looking extremely ferocious.

Wu Ju also sensed something was wrong, so he reined in his horse and stepped back.Unexpectedly, the rein of the horse was held tightly by Gao Xiang.

Wu Da was startled, his expression changed drastically, and he said, "Brother Gao, let go, this person is not kind!"

Gao Xiang grinned, instead of letting go, he held it even tighter. With the other hand, he drew out his sword and stabbed Wu Ju in the heart.

"Kill!"

Before killing Wu Ju, Cheng Yaojin yelled, turned around and rushed towards the city, Gao Xiang's soldiers shouted at the same time, and slashed at the enemy around him.

Gao Xiang made an attack suddenly, Miss Wu didn't have time to react, she just felt a sharp pain in her chest, and then her consciousness gradually blurred, only Gao Xiang's ferocious face was still very clear.

At this time, Wu Ju's soldiers and horses realized that, especially the guards around him, they were all crazy, they just rushed towards Gao Xiang, wanting to avenge the lord.

Since Gao Xiang dared to kill Wu Ju on the spot instead of choosing the safer way of snatching the city gate, his own ability is not small.

He quickly dismounted from his horse and cut off Wu Ju's head with his sword. The soldiers who rushed forward were stopped by the people around Gao Xiang.

As soon as Wu Ju died, the defenders on the edge of the city were thrown into chaos. What's more, Cheng Yaojin and his group were extremely vicious, and would kill anyone they saw. Even if they wanted to organize resistance, Cheng Yaojin would give them time to redeploy .

Just now Gao Xiang's soldiers rushed in seemingly chaotically, but there was also a cleverness hidden inside.

That is, through their charge, not only occupied the city gate, making it impossible to close the city gate, but also Wu Ju's soldiers were rushed to pieces.

Facing the menacing, ferocious and swift Shanyue soldiers, the defenders outside the city were immediately killed and ran away.

He fled in embarrassment, and Wu Ju's personal guards were hacked to death by Gao Xiang's personal soldiers who rushed up.

Gao Xiang quickly cut off Wu Ju's head, pierced it with a long spear, and hung it so high that he could see it just by looking up on the battlefield.

"Revenge for Prefect Wu!"

A high-pitched voice suddenly came from the city.

The panicked defenders suddenly heard this shout, as if they had found their backbone, they all turned their heads to look.

But it was the scene of entering the city, and suddenly brought the troops of the headquarters, and came to kill the city gate again.

Having said that, isn't Qu Jing the same as Wu Ju in appearance? Why did he lead troops to avenge Wu Ju at this time?
The fact is the same, Qu Jing is also a person who dominates one side anyway, defecting to Wu Ju is a helpless move, the friendship between the two is worth his life to attack.

But Qu Jing also understands that if he doesn't stop the defenders from retaking the city gate while the number of enemy troops is still small, once Yuan Yao's army arrives, Cang Wu will definitely be defeated. Jing, isn't it a dead end?

For the sake of his own life, he couldn't tolerate Qu Jing not working hard.

On the top of the city, Mu Li also brought his own deployment, drew his bow and set up arrows together, and fired random arrows towards the outside of the city.

Because of Gao Xiang's sudden attack, people on both sides huddled together at the city gate.

This wave of arrow rain not only killed many Gao Xiang's soldiers, but also a large number of Wu Ju's personal guards were shot to death by random arrows.

The situation was urgent, and Mu Li didn't care too much, and a large number of bed crossbows and giant arrows adjusted their angles and began to shoot down.

The two sides fighting at the gate of the city were startled, they hurriedly separated in all directions, and Cheng Yaojin, who rushed into the city, also made a group with Qu Jingsha, who came to lead the troops.
