There were fifty-three soldiers who decided to listen to Wei Yan's words and follow him to open the city gate and save the lives of his family. On the contrary, there were forty-seven soldiers who swore loyalty to Liu Biao and defended Wancheng.
The two groups of people had different positions, so they naturally drew their swords at each other. Wei Yan's side had slightly more people, but with Wei Yan personally plundering the formation, there was no reason to be invincible. Soon, the more than 40 people on the opposite side were quickly defeated.
They were all slaughtered, and our own side lost eleven people.
Wei Yan and the remaining 42 people hurriedly left the military camp and rushed to the city gate. After all, the previous fighting was quite commotion, and it would be bad if other teams were attracted.
More than forty sergeants were walking on the street, and their momentum was quite alarming. However, the people all knew that they were the defenders of Wancheng, so no one felt any fear.
After all, these people have been guarding the city where they live. If they had not paid the price with their lives and fought with Cao Jun, it is unclear whether they would be alive now. Therefore, the people will only be grateful to these Wancheng sergeants.
Or admire them, but not fear them.
But if the people knew that these more than 40 soldiers came here just to open the city gate and welcome Cao Jun into Wancheng, I wonder what they would think in their hearts?
When he arrived at the city gate, Wei Yan walked straight towards the soldiers guarding the gate without saying a word.
"Stop anyone coming!" Although the soldier guarding the gate did not know what Wei Yan was thinking at this time, his duty was to prevent anyone from approaching the city gate, whether it was the people in the city or others. In short, at this emergency moment
, the fewer people near the city gate, the better.
Especially since Wei Yan was followed by so many people, the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to let him get close. Although they all wore the same military uniforms as himself, their mission was to stop Wei Yan without receiving orders.
Anyone who wants to get close to the city gate.
Although Wei Yan was the uncle of the army, he would not do anything detrimental to Wancheng. However, looking at Wei Yan's group of people getting closer, the soldier couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.
"Nothing will happen..."
When Wei Yan saw someone blocking him, his steps did not stop at all, but seemed to speed up.
"Stop! Stop!" Seeing that Wei Yan not only did not stop, but also accelerated his advance, the guarding sergeant became more uneasy and shouted to Wei Yan.
How could Wei Yan pay attention to him? Not only did he show no signs of slowing down, he actually drew out the sword from his waist while marching.
The forty soldiers behind him also drew their weapons one after another.
At this moment, Wei Yan was less than twenty steps away from the city gate.
No matter how stupid the soldier who was guarding the city was, he must have noticed that something was wrong now, not to mention that this soldier was not stupid.
"Come here! Stop them quickly!" Unfortunately, although the sergeant shouted, it was too late after all. The distance of twenty steps was only a dozen meters, which was not really far. Wei Yan and others sprinted with all their strength
, arrived at the city gate in a few breaths.
Hearing someone shouting, the defenders around the city wall rushed over. Soon, Wei Yan and others were surrounded by hundreds of people.
However, Wei Yan didn't care so much at this time. After hacking to death a few unlucky soldiers close to the city gate, Wei Yan ordered thirty people to form a small circular formation to protect the outside, delaying time, and ordered the remaining ten people to seize the opportunity.
, quickly opened the door bolt and opened the Wancheng gate.
As soon as the city gate is opened, great things will happen!
Wei Yan had thought about using words to persuade some people to rebel as before, but no one was willing to give him this time.
The defenders launched wave after wave of attacks. There were only about forty people on Wei Yan's side, which was far less numerous than the defenders. Fortunately, the city gate was relatively narrow, and such a large number of people could squeeze through.
There wouldn't be too many of them. Wei Yan and the others were defending with their backs to the city gate, which would allow them to hold on for a while.
The fighting between the two sides was fierce, and the losses on Wei Yan's side soon reached 20 people. The situation was extremely unfavorable. Wei Yan himself was not much better. He was already injured, and the wound burst open when he was in the prefect's mansion.
Now, I am fighting with my last breath. If I am not careful, I may lose my life.
At this moment, Wancheng's gate was slowly pushed open.
Wei Yan exhaled happily. If the city gate opened a moment later, he might really be in trouble.
Of course, I have to resist for a while now. After all, although the city gate is open, the soldiers are still staring at me like wolves and tigers, wishing to eat me alive. I can't relax until Cao Jun enters the city. I hope Cao Jun can
Enter the city as soon as possible.
Just when Wei Yan was happy that the city gate was opened, a shocking roar suddenly disrupted his mood.
"Wei——Wen——Chang——!"
Wei Yan was shocked when he heard this. The voice was very familiar to him. It was Huang Zhong!
What was expressed in that high-pitched shout was nothing but infinite anger!
How could Huang Zhong not be angry? His injuries had improved slightly. He wanted to go to see Liu Pan and ask for his permission to go up to the city wall to help in the battle. But he never thought that when he arrived at the prefect's mansion, what he saw was such a miserable scene.
.
When Huang Zhong heard from the guards in the palace that the person who killed Liu Pan was actually Wei Yan, Huang Zhong almost immediately fell into a violent mood. The person he was loyal to was actually killed by the young man he had always been optimistic about. This made Huang Zhong
In addition to anger, he also felt a lot of guilt in his heart.
If I, Huang Hansheng, had not had such poor eyesight and trusted such an ungrateful person, how could General Liu have ended up in such a situation!
Huang Zhong was in great mourning!
Although in the original history, Wei Yan also killed Han Xuan and rebelled against the enemy, Huang Zhong did not blame him too much for this. However, that was because Han Xuan was not a good man. He was narrow-minded and had a violent temper. Huang Zhong was not.
They didn't appreciate him very much. So even though Wei Yan killed his master at that time, Huang Zhong just let it go after being depressed for a while and didn't make any other outrageous reaction.
Liu Pan is different. Although his ability is not the best, his personal conduct is still very good. He is courteous and courteous, and he is quite polite and corporal in daily life. Liu Pan doesn't like Wei Yan, but he is just a good person.
Normally, no matter which boss he is, he would not like to have an unruly subordinate. As for Wei Yan being demoted to Du Bo, it is the result of Wei Yan's own fault. If these cases are used to criticize Liu Pan's character, it is absolutely
It is unreasonable and vexatious.
In addition, Huang Zhong and Liu Pan had a close personal relationship. Ever since Liu Pan began to guard Changsha, Huang Zhong had been appointed under his command. Then Liu Pan transferred to Wancheng, and Huang Zhong brought his family to Wancheng with him. It can be said that the two
They have been partners for a long time, and their friendship is extraordinary. Historically, after Cao Cao captured Jingzhou, he ordered Han Xuan to guard Changsha on behalf of Liu Pan. When Han Xuan died and Liu Bei occupied Changsha, he asked Huang Zhong who could guard Changsha, and Huang Zhong recommended him without hesitation.
Meeting Liu Pan shows the deep friendship between the two.
Seeing that Liu Pan was killed by Wei Yan at this time, Huang Zhong was extremely angry, but he still had not lost the ability to think. After Wei Yan killed Liu Pan, he couldn't wait to leave the city. But the problem is, will Wei Yan follow the four city gates?
Where to get out of town?
It should be the north gate, because outside the north gate is where Cao's army is stationed. Wei Yan will definitely surrender to Cao's army after killing Liu Pan, and he will inevitably escape through the north gate.
As for the details of whether Wei Yan could successfully leave the city, Huang Zhong had no time to think about it. Now his heart was completely filled with anger. The only thought in Huang Zhong's mind at this moment was: catch up with Wei Yan and kill Wei Yan!
After asking the guards of the Prefecture to find a horse, Huang Zhong went straight to the north gate.
"Wei Wenchang——!" After seeing Wei Yan, Huang Zhong's eyes turned red and his whole body exuded endless murderous aura.
