"Brother Junnian, what can you do if Zhang Liao refused to open the city? Why don't we retreat?" Back in the army, Ren Qi saw that he could not deceive the city gate and began to retreat.

After all, he has not yet broken up with Ye Zhao. In short, Zhao Wei has made contributions to Ye Zhao when he tells Ren Qi to attack. Since he can't win Chengdu, it's better to settle for the second best, lie dormant under Ye Zhao's command first, and wait for the opportunity.

Zhao Wei glanced at Ren Qi helplessly, shook his head and sighed, "Didn't you realize it yet? Ye Zhao didn't believe me at all. If he was letting him become the lord of Shu, how long would you think you, the prefect of Jianwei?"

Ren Qi looked at Zhao Wei and frowned and said, "You mean he will be like Liu Yan?"

"Liu Yan would at least take into account some of the favors of scholars, but do you know that when the late emperor was alive, he openly supported the promotion of books into the people. Therefore, he argued with the civil and military officials in the court in the court, and was regarded as a good story in Luoyang." said in a deep voice.

"So what?" Ren Qi was a little puzzled. What happened in Luoyang a few years ago was also circulated in Shu. Even now, bookstores sell books in various counties in Yizhou, and they can't help it. But he really couldn't think of what could be related to it now?

"How?" Zhao Wei sneered: "This is Ye Zhao's attitude! If he was the lord of Shu, the selection of materials would not be limited to aristocratic families. He would not only be like Liu Yan, but also select poor families and even poor people to become officials. If that time, he would be the slaughter and I would be the fish, and my scholars in Shu would have no other way except to rely on him."

In other words, the scholars in Shu had to give up most of their current transcendent status. With Ye Zhao's character, it was impossible for them to give them too much privilege.

"What should I do now?" Ren Qi frowned when he heard this.

"We will withdraw our troops and return to the camp, and act like we want to retreat to Jianwei. Now that Chengdu is in its prime, people are unstable. There are still Liu Yan's old subordinates in the city, so we must divide our troops to shock us. We will attack the city at night and occupy this Chengdu first, and then contact Mr. Qiande to call on the soldiers in Shu to attack. Even if Ye Zhao is powerful, he will probably be unable to escape and die. If he can contact Zhang Lu, he can even counterattack Hanzhong and seize Ye Zhao's foundation." Zhao Wei said in a deep voice.

"This plan is very good, so let's prepare it!" Ren Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly acted as if Zhao Wei had said and retreated.

"General, those people have retreated!" Wu Da and others standing on the city wall were overjoyed when they saw Ren Qi withdrawing their troops.

"Don't be careless!" Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "Anyway, before the lord arrives, we should strengthen our vigilance, especially tonight. I always feel that Zhao Wei will not leave so easily."

"Here!" Wu Da agreed, but he felt a little dissatisfied.

Seeing that the situation was stable, Zhang Liao left two thousand soldiers to guard the four gates, and the other three thousand were sent to various parts of the city by Zhang Liao to prevent Liu Yan's old subordinates from causing trouble.

It was late at night, and Wu Da was drowsy and marching against the city tower for several days. In addition, they were exhausted today. In addition, they were already relieved. Even with Zhang Liao's instructions, when the night was quiet, they would unconsciously surge. Even Wu Da, who was a general, was like this. The rest of the soldiers were naturally similar. They were either leaning against the city wall or relying on weapons, and their heads were constantly lightening, without notice at all. A group of people approached this side with the cover of the moonlight.

"Dada~"

In the quiet night, a few slight sounds woke Wu Da up, frowned and looked at the empty night sky, and a urge to urinate. Wu Da looked around, walked up to the women's wall, untied his belt and vented his trousers under the city.

The sensational sound was accompanied by a stench. Wuhan University suddenly felt that some troops were splashing on the ground. Why was it so close?

Subconsciously, he looked down at him, but what caught his eyes was a wet face. At this moment, he looked a little ferocious. A knife flashing with cold light in his hand stabbed into his body from bottom to top in Wu Da's astonished gaze.

"Ao~oh~"

The sound of a trumpet with a different aura woke the soldiers guarding the city. They were seeing Wu Da standing obliquely on the city wall in a strange posture, and the single sword, which was already covered in blood, was penetrated into his lower body, causing many soldiers who saw this scene to subconsciously clamp their legs.

"No, the enemy attack!" As Wu Da fell to the ground with a twisted face and twitched for a few times, he completely died. Finally, someone reacted. Under the night sky, a shrill roar broke the silent night in an instant.

"Kill!" Almost at the same time, dozens of black shadows jumped up from every corner of the city wall and rushed to the city wall fiercely at Ye Zhao's soldiers who had not yet had time to react.

Although there was no main general, Ye Zhao trained troops and cooperated first. When he discovered the enemy, even without any command, the soldiers guarding the city quickly gathered together in groups of three or five at the first time and rushed towards the enemies rushing up. Under the night sky, there was a fierce battle on the city wall. Although the night battle was not good for both sides, when the number of people was at a disadvantage, it was obviously a bit unfavorable for defending the city. The condescending advantage was ten feet away and could not be seen, and it was suppressed too much.

At the first time when Zhang Liao was chaotic at the city, he gathered the troops in the city and blew the alarm at the same time. It was Ye Zhao's unique way of transmission. His unique rhythm represented different code words. At this moment, Zhang Liao ordered to give up the city wall and move closer to the city. It was not good for them who were at a disadvantage in the number of people. It was better to move the battlefield to the city. On the one hand, there was a fire to illuminate it, and on the other hand, it could also disperse the enemy's forces. For Ye Zhao's army, who had strengthened individual combat and small-scale group combat, the crisscrossing streets and alleys could give full play to their advantages.

Ren Qi and Zhao Wei quickly entered the city through the holed city gate. Looking at Ye Zhao's defeated on the entire line, Zhao Wei couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "That Zhang Liao is just like that!"

"The plan is done!" Ren Qi said excitedly.

"Don't be too happy too early, send someone to seize the city. Before dawn, drive Ye Zhao's army out of the city!" Zhao Wei said aloud.

"Okay!" Ren Qi agreed and ordered someone to send an order.

However, the subsequent development was not as smooth as expected.

Although he successfully captured the city wall by sneak attack, when a large number of soldiers flocked to the streets and alleys in the city, he was subjected to tenacious resistance... or it was more appropriate to use massacre.

The soldiers of Ye Zhao's army, who had lost the city wall, did not completely collapse. Instead, under the command of Zhang Liao, they were broken into pieces and scattered in the streets and alleys of the city. When they saw large groups of enemies, they would avoid them. When they saw small groups of enemies, they would pounce on them like wolves. Three people were in a fight, both offensive and defense. In the streets and alleys with not wide terrain, even if they were facing a team of ten people, they would dare to pounce on them and take a bite. The timid ones were defeated and fled directly. After killing a few people, they retreated immediately without entanglement.

The sound of fighting never stopped at midnight, but the speed of the Jianwei army was terriblely slow. Most of the night passed, and dawn was about to arrive, but it didn't even find the provincial governor's office. More than 20,000 troops were scattered throughout the city, but not many were actually eroded by Zhang Liao.

Zhao Wei and Ren Qi also discovered something wrong. In addition to developing according to their plan at the beginning, this night battle went against their initial thought after the army entered the city.

"How could this be so?" Ren Qi pulled Zhao Wei in panic. They had just seen a team of (fifty people) of soldiers in front of them, and were rushed in by more than a dozen Ye Zhao soldiers and fought. After leaving behind a corpse, seven or eight Ye Zhao soldiers quickly retreated, but nearly twenty of their soldiers died, and the rest were also scared and did not dare to go to the city any longer.

Zhao Wei obviously found something wrong, so he shouted: "Let all troops gather and gather troops to capture the provincial and ministerial palace!"

The opponent is obviously good at street fighting. If he advances side by side at this moment, the enemy will only defeat them one by one. It is better to gather troops and use superior forces to force the opponent to fight to the decisive battle.

The desolate horn sounded slowly before the first beam of light at dawn fell to Chengdu, and the Qianwei soldiers in the city quickly retreated to the horn sound.

At the same time, Zhang Liao also discovered the opponent's intention and immediately issued a general attack order, biting the opponent and reducing the opponent's vitality as much as possible before the enemy gathered.

The chaotic fighting lasted for another hour. It was not until the sky was bright that Zhao Wei and Ren Qi regrouped their troops. At that time, the 20,000 troops entered the city last night. After the midnight battle, there were less than 7,000 people living here. Some died in street fighting, but more people were defeated and directly escaped from the city.

Zhang Liao gathered his men and horses at the East Gate to confront Zhao Wei and Ren Qi. There were no large casualties in Po Cheng/Do not. However, last night, only more than 2,400 soldiers died. This battle loss was already very low compared to the Jianwei soldiers, but it still made Zhang Liao feel ashamed. None of the three deputy generals under his command lived!

This was the first time I was alone, and I was almost wiped out by these people.

This is because Ye Zhao had previously told the generals of the army how to deal with the city after the city was broken, and how to use a special horn to order the execution units to dispatch the soldiers of the corps as units to control the overall situation. He had targeted training and Zhang Liao had the deepest grasp of this, so that he could still entangle with the enemy after the city was broken. Otherwise, even if the city wall was broken, even if Ye Zhao's army was elite, he would only be defeated by the enemy when they were fighting on their own.

Just a little short of that, he would be wiped out, and this mission would be defeated, losing this opportunity of Yang Ming, and also letting down Ye Zhao's trust in him.
