"Squad Leader, look outside!"

There was a tremor in Soldiers's voice.

The old soldier and all the soldiers were startled. They stood up from the wall and looked outside the city. Then their expressions changed.

Through the dawn sky, they could vaguely see countless figures flashing in Outside the City's Han Army Military Camp. A large number of soldiers and horses began to gather. The black army was like a black tide, marching towards Jinyang City in the morning light!

Enemy Army, the city is under siege!

Before he could think about it carefully, a Famous Scholars soldier took off the horn from his waist and was about to blow it - this was an early warning of the Enemy Army's incoming attack.

But before he could reach his mouth, a hand covered with calluses and scars snatched the horn away from him.

He is a veteran of Squad Leader.

The trumpet blower Soldiers looked at him in astonishment and couldn't help but said, "Squad Leader, what are you doing? Enemy Army is attacking the city, you have to blow the trumpet quickly!"

As soon as the horn blows, Soldiers among Military Camp will begin to assemble and rush to City Wall to defend the enemy. This is also one of the duties of guarding Soldiers.

"Look over there."

The veteran pointed to the City Wall aisle not far away.

Of course, Soldiers, who is on duty on City Wall, is not just their group. There are hundreds of people, all gathered together in groups of 30 to 50%.

But at this time, those Soldierss were either squatting under the Battlement to sleep and warm themselves by the fire, not noticing Enemy Army of Outside the City; or they discovered Enemy Army but squatted down again.

No one blew the horn.

I saw the old soldier casually put the horn on his waist, glanced at the soldiers, and said with deep eyes, "No one else is blowing, so why are we blowing?"

Soldiers heard what he meant and immediately understood what he meant.

They looked at each other and squatted back silently.

Outside the City.

At this time, Han Army had all assembled. In order to minimize the noise, Lü Bu specifically ordered the entire army to remain silent and follow the flag command.

But even so, when he saw that the army began to attack Jinyang City, but there was no response from City Wall, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Are these defenders so vigilant?"

Lü Bu was puzzled, but he was too lazy to think about it. After all, the later he was discovered and the closer he was to City Wall, the better.

When the army was less than a stone's throw away from Jinyang City, Soldiers, the defender on City Wall, finally heard the movement and blew the horn.

"Woo--"

"Woo--"

"Woo--"

One after another, the vast sound of horns sounded on the city wall, immediately waking up countless soldiers in the military camp in the city from their sleep!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Enemy Army is attacking the city!"

"Hurry up to City Wall to defend yourself against the enemy!"

Regardless of whether the Soldierss in the city are willing to fight or not, as Soldiers, the first reaction after hearing the sound of the horn is to pick up weapons and rush to City Wall.

Gao Gan also rushed over immediately.

But when he saw Outside the City, Enemy Army surrounded by darkness and surrounded by a large army, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Why is Enemy Army so close!"

One of the great advantages of defending the city is that you can use arrows to cause a large number of casualties to the Enemy Army before Enemy Army attacks City Wall.

But now Han Army is about to reach below City Wall!

"Quick! We must not let Enemy Army board City Wall!"

Although Gao Gan now wants to kill all Soldiers who are responsible for guarding City Wall, but rather than questioning the guilt, guarding Cities is the most important thing!

And just as he finished speaking, countless arrows and Stone Shot fell from the sky, and the Soldiers on City Wall suffered heavy casualties instantly!

"What is that Traction Trebuchet?!"

Gao Gan looked at those huge Stone Shot falling from the sky, and was stunned and shocked to the extreme.

How could Traction Trebuchet throw such a heavy Stone Shot and also throw it so far?

"Kill--!"

After being suppressed by a wave of Stone Shot and a hail of arrows, Han Army had taken the opportunity to rush to the city, and Siege Ladder and Siege Tower leaned on City Wall.

Countless Han Army Soldiers people began to climb City Wall!

The most eye-catching thing among them is a group of warriors wearing heavy armor, with huge waists and strong bodies. They are the reorganized Vanguard Camp!

In this battle to attack Bing Province, Qu Yi also brought Vanguard Camp to follow the army, just to show Son of Heaven his loyalty and ability!

His Vanguard Camp had been completely destroyed in the previous battles. The current Vanguard Camp was reorganized by him after receiving the instruction from Liu Xie.

Although there are only 500 people in the organization, they are all Elite Troops selected from various armies, and they wear sophisticated equipment made by Zhen Clan Artisans!

"The shield guard is in front! The people behind follow!"

"The power of First to Scale is right before your eyes!"

Qu Yi shouted loudly, and after saying that, Soldiers rushed towards City Wall, wielding a knife and hacking at the defenders wantonly.

He has just surrendered, and now he urgently needs a credit to prove himself. If First to Scale can capture Jinyang City, he will be able to gain a firm foothold among the many Military Generals with this credit!

On the other side, Gao Shun was also leading Dare-to-Die Battalion to attack the city. Hearing this, he snorted coldly, raised his arms and shouted, "First to Scale's contribution must be our Dare-to-Die Battalion! Follow me and kill City Wall!"

"Kill--!"

Dare-to-Die Battalion Soldiers all rushed towards City Wall like wolves and tigers, fearless in death, and their momentum was no weaker than Vanguard Camp!

"Qu Yi! That traitor!"

When Gao Gan saw Qu Yi leading Vanguard Camp to kill City Wall, his eyes suddenly turned red. He immediately wanted to lead his troops and rush forward to get rid of the culprit who caused Yuan Shao to be captured.

But after seeing Vanguard Camp's bravery, he suppressed the idea and directed Soldiers to organize the defense.

Whether it is Vanguard Camp or Dare-to-Die Battalion, they can only open a gap, but if he uses all his strength to plug this gap, he will lose sight of one and lead to the complete loss of City Wall!

But at this moment, Guo Yuan covered in blood came to report and said anxiously, "General! East Gate has been lost! Someone Soldiers opened City Gate and let Enemy Army into the city!"

"General Sui and General Zhao also died in battle!"

"What?!" Gao Gan was immediately furious after hearing this. City Gate is the top priority. Once it falls, he is a soldier. Han Xin can't defend this city even if he is alive!

Seeing more and more Enemy Army rushing towards City Wall, Gao Gan no longer hesitated, gritted his teeth and ordered, "Count the men and horses, let's retreat!"

Jinyang City can no longer defend it. If you stay here, you can only wait for death. Only by escaping can you have a chance of survival!

Soon, Gao Gan abandoned all the Infantry in the city, took the few 5,000 Cavalry with him, escaped from the only North City Gate that had not been attacked, and headed north.

After Scouts got the news, he immediately reported the news to Lü Bu who was in charge of the Chinese Army.

"General! A group of troops left from Jinyang City North Gate and fled in the direction of Wuyuan Commandery!"

Lü Bu Hearing this, his expression changed.

Wuyuan Commandery... Isn't that his hometown?

Chapter 286 Lü Bu: Is this the feeling of returning home in glory, Chi?

Wuyuan Commandery is the borderland of Bing Province and the hometown of Lü Bu. After leaving Wuyuan Commandery, Great Grassland was occupied by Xiongnu, Wuhuan and Xianbei.

I think it was at Wuyuan Commandery that he Lü Bu became famous for killing Xiongnu people, but since he left his hometown, he has never gone back.

Unexpectedly, these defeated soldiers actually wanted to run to Wuyuan Commandery.

A group of defeated soldiers escaped from Jinyang in embarrassment. They were short of supplies, so they had to burn, kill, and loot along the way!

His Wuyuan Commandery folks will also be affected!

When he thought of this, Lü Bu's eyes widened immediately.

Sima Yi on the side frowned and said, "Yuan Shao has always been on good terms with Wuhuan. Gao Gan must be among the defeated troops. He must be planning to escape through Wuyuan Commandery and defect to Wuhuan."

After analyzing Gao Gan's intention, Sima Yi immediately said to Huang Zhong, "General Huang, you lead five thousand troops to pursue Enemy Army. You must kill all these Rebel!"

"In addition, Wuyuan Commandery has not yet been recovered. General Huang can take back this place by the way."

Huang Zhong said angrily, "The last general..."

"Slow!"

Before Huang Zhong finished speaking, Lü Bu suddenly interrupted him with a loud shout and said sternly, "Five Thousand Troops is not needed, I only need three thousand Iron Cavalry to annihilate Enemy Army!"

"Besides, Wuyuan Commandery is my hometown. It is my duty to recover Wuyuan Commandery. How can I leave it to others?"

"I will lead the troops and go forward!"

But as soon as Lü Bu finished speaking, Zhang Liao shook his head and said seriously, "General, what you said is wrong!"

"The general is Three Armies Commander-in-Chief. How can we bother the general to do something as trivial as chasing Rebel and recovering a county?"

"Wuyuan Commandery is also my hometown. I also have the responsibility to recover Wuyuan Commandery, so let me do this kind of thing. The general can just stay and take charge of Three Armies."

Zhang Liao was also born in Wuyuan Commandery.

At first, like Lü Bu, he was recruited by Ding Yuan because of his superior force. The two worked for Ding Yuan together. After Ding Yuan's death, he has been following Lü Bu.

"Wenyuan Where is this?"

Lü Bu pressed Zhang Liao's shoulders and said in a sincere tone, "I only have the courage of an ordinary man. In terms of the ability to lead an army, you are far better than me."

"In my opinion, it would be most appropriate for you to take charge of the central army, so don't argue with me."

Zhang Liao shook his head repeatedly and said very modestly, "My little talent means nothing. The general's reputation is unparalleled in the world. Only if the general stays can he intimidate Ma Chao. You must know that Bing Province cannot afford to make any mistakes."

The two of you have a mouth and I have a mouth, and no one gives in.

Just leave everyone aside.

Sima Yi was stunned and looked at Chen Gong with a puzzled face. He didn't know why Lü Bu and Zhang Liao got into a fight over something as trivial as chasing the remnants of Rebel.

Both of them deserve this credit, right?
