The troops left behind in Wuhu City were mainly one thousand imperial guards, but the imperial guards were responsible for the garrison of the inner city and the royal palace, while the outer city was guarded by the 200 urban guards still in Wuhu City. There were only fifty soldiers guarding each gate, and the leader with the highest cultivation level was only at the level of the war division. In front of Xu Sancai, the fifty people could only wait for death. [】
After snatching the gate of the outer city, Xu Sancai immediately rushed towards the inner city with nineteen elite combat divisions. This is a unique structure of the kingdom capital. The inner city has independent walls and guards. If the gate of the inner city cannot be occupied, it is naturally not easy to attack the inner city. Moreover, he led all cavalry and without any siege equipment, and the plan for a surprise attack may have miscarriages.
However, when Xu Sancai seized the outer city gate, he did not give the soldiers time to issue a warning, nor did he escape. The inner city’s imperial guards should not be alarmed in a short period of time. As long as he could arrive before the inner city gate was closed, he would be sure to guard the city gate and prevent it from closing.
There are only two gates in the inner city, and only one team of 100 people guarding the gate. When Xu Sancai arrived at the gate, the Imperial Guards had no idea that the danger had arrived. However, the inner city was the place of the royal palace and the noble residence. When entering and leaving the inner city, they needed to undergo strict inspections. Ordinary idle people could not enter the inner city at all.
When Xu Sancai and his party arrived at the inner city gate, they immediately attracted the attention of the Imperial Guards and immediately ordered them to dismount for inspection. He got off the horse. Just as the Imperial Guards were relaxing a little, he had already drawn his sword and rushed towards the Imperial Guards guarding the gate, while the other nineteen elite combat divisions also rushed towards the city gate along with the horses.
The leader of the Imperial Guard is the Imperial Guard General, a level 9 warrior, but he is usually in the palace and will not personally guard the city gate. The person responsible for the city gate guard is a level 1 warrior. This is the Imperial Guard, which is much more elite than the ordinary regular army. With his cultivation and qualifications, he is also fully qualified to be a general in the regular army.
Xu Sancai rushed into the city guards like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. He killed more than a dozen people in less than three minutes and rushed into the city gate. Of course, those guards did not ride horses when standing guard. Although the guards were the most elite troops in the kingdom, ordinary soldiers were only at warrior level. Nineteen elite combat divisions rode horses to rush, which immediately made the guards at the city gate mess up.
When Xu Sancai rushed straight to the city gate, the guard guards at the gate finally sounded the alarm. However, although the soldiers of the guards had a low cultivation level, many of them were noble children, and some of them had never been to the battlefield. They usually showed off their power and domineering, but in the face of the tragic killing, their reaction was slower.
Moreover, when more than a dozen noble children in the Imperial Guards saw the bloody scene of their colleagues being killed, their movements were inevitably stiff and slow. Some of them had even turned around and fled, making the gate guard unable to quickly form a formation to meet the enemy. They were immediately rushed to the ground by nineteen elite cavalrymen and fought each other, and were no longer able to defend the city gate.
After hearing the alarm bell, the deputy general who was in charge of guarding the city gate immediately rushed to the city gate with ten personal soldiers. The other troops of the imperial guard were also quickly assembled and were personally commanded by the imperial guard general. Xu Sancai immediately discovered the deputy general and personal soldiers who were rushing to the city gate. He killed several imperial guards. Seeing that his elite combat division had already controlled the situation, he turned around to face the deputy general who was galloping on his horse.
The general held a big sword in his hand and rushed towards Xu Sancai. At the same time, the general slashed his sword in his hand and slashed down at him. He now had to seize the time to resolve the battle. When the general drove the horse to five meters away, he secretly used the magic stalagmites technique. A three-inch-high stalagmites appeared in front of the front hooves of the war horse and immediately tripped the galloping war horse.
The general was wielding a big sword and slashing forward. The war horse suddenly fell forward and threw the general out of the war horse. The general used his sword to tilt his center of gravity forward, and the sudden horse's hooves made him fly forward. His body immediately lost his balance and fell from the horse. The general's reaction was not slow, and he immediately stabbed the ground with a long sword to prevent his collision with the ground.
However, Xu Sancai was now less than three meters away from the flying deputy general. How could he hesitate at this time? He used violent steps under his feet, and the distance was closer to two meters. The sword in his hand was facing the figure of the general rushing forward and stabbed into the throat of the general. Everything was completed in an instant. The ten personal soldiers of the deputy general did not react at all. The war horses were still galloping and had already rushed to him.
Xu Sancai's figure did not stop at all, and he waved his sword to attack the team of personal soldiers. The personal soldiers were just fighting divisions. He spread his body and swam like lightning. The personal soldiers had no power to resist. One sword was one. In just a moment, ten personal soldiers had already died under his sword.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves shook the sky, but the cavalry troops led by Zhang Dali arrived and in a short while all the remaining imperial guards at the inner city gate were solved. Xu Sancai did not let the cavalry charge, but let the cavalry and archers ambush the city. Although the city wall was to resist the attacks of foreign enemies, the city wall could also shoot arrows into the city.
The responsibility of the Imperial Guard is to protect the safety of the inner city. Of course, it cannot sit and watch the city gate be occupied by the enemy. Although the Imperial Guard General did not know how many enemies he had come, the lost city gate must be recaptured. He gathered the Imperial Guards, left behind two hundred guards to guard the palace, and personally led the remaining seven hundred guards cavalry, and rushed towards the direction of the city gate in an orderly manner.
Just when the cavalry rushed to a hundred meters away from the city gate, Xu San issued an attack order, and 600 soldiers who were proficient in cavalry and shooting shot dense bows and arrows from the top of the city. Although the cavalry had heavy armor protection, they still could not cover the whole body 100%. The war horses only had simple leather armor to protect some of the key points. With one round of bows and arrows, dozens of imperial guards were caught off guard.
In the second round, the third round of bows and arrows shot towards the enemy without stopping. Nearly 200 enemy soldiers were dropped, and the enemy's team was in chaos. Xu Sancai immediately sent a charge signal, and Zhang Dali led a thousand cavalry to charge immediately. He also led the way out. Although he did not ride a horse, his speed was no slower than those war horses. The goal was to rush to the guard general in the first row of the guards. His principle was to capture the thief and capture the king first.
The general of the Imperial Guard was the one who really fought from the battlefield. He could be regarded as the most brave and warlike general in Wuhu Kingdom and the most loyal noble general. Therefore, he was entrusted with important tasks by the king. His weapon was a battle axe, which was hundreds of pounds, the axe was the smallest as a carriage, and the handle was more than two meters long. The attack power of this battle axe after swinging was unbearable.
