Chapter 102 Seizing Ximen
"Open the city gate quickly!"

"The army in the east of the city mutinied, General Sun Qian was assassinated, and General Liu was seriously injured!"

"Quickly clear the way, General Liu is here, please let us out of the city!"

Xiao Jingchuan galloped on his horse and arrived at the west gate of the city in a flash, shouting all the way.

The thieves guarding the gate had just heard the sounds of gunfire and fighting in the city. Now they saw Xiao Lang riding alone to break through the gate. Behind him in the streets and alleys, there seemed to be shadowy figures moving towards this side, so they became worried and wanted to go forward to take a closer look.

"Captain! Captain!"

"The hay barn, the hay barn is on fire!"

At this moment, a soldier behind the bandit gatekeeper also shouted.

Seeing the situation, the captain stretched his neck again to look towards the hay field, his brows furrowed as if facing a powerful enemy.

After a moment, when the man turned his eyes to Xiao Jingchuan again, he came closer with a torch in hand.

"Ah! It's really Captain Liu!"

The gatekeeper saw Liu Dabala clearly, and at this moment, Xiao Jingchuan suddenly whipped him with a whip!
"Fuck you, go open the city gate!"

"The rebels are right behind us. If anything happens to General Liu, I will chop you to pieces right here!"

Xiao Lang's face looked extremely ferocious!

The officers were overwhelmed by Xiao Jingchuan's power and had no time to investigate, so they rushed back and shouted in a hurry.

"Open the gate! Open the gate quickly!"

After he finished speaking, Xiao Jingchuan kicked the horse's belly and rushed out of the west gate as fast as lightning without stopping!
As soon as Xiao Lang left the city through the west gate, more than 30 militiamen behind him also rushed to the west gate.

Without saying anything, just start fighting!
The soldiers guarding the west gate rushed to fight. Once the gate was opened, it was difficult to close it quickly in the panic. Even if he wanted to, the more than 30 militiamen who had already arrived at the west gate would not agree!
Outside the city!

After seeing the fire in the city, the four generals Sun Peizhong, Li Huchen, Liu Wenbing and Gong Yonggu immediately led their troops to rush towards the west gate!

You have to know that these people have not had any news from the city since they made the plan during the day, and they have been extremely anxious.

Right now, the planning time has been delayed by another two quarters of an hour than the previously scheduled time. How could one not be anxious?

So, the moment the soldiers saw the fire in the city, Li Huchen immediately jumped up and led his soldiers to run towards the city!
Outside the west gate, along the city wall, Xiao Jingchuan had just gotten out on his horse when Li Huchen, Sun Peizhong and others rushed over to kill him.

The two sides met in front of the city gate.

"General!"

"Ah! It's the general!" Huchen and Peizhong exclaimed in surprise.

"Stop talking nonsense, go ahead! Take over the west gate first and clear out the thieves guarding it!"

Xiao Jingchuan did not hesitate at all, because the situation in the city was indeed very dangerous!
"Yes!"

"Brothers, charge in and kill! Kill!"

Shouting and killing, hundreds of soldiers from outside rushed into the city gate at the same time.

Xiao Lang followed the generals and returned again.

In a short while, control of Ximen was taken!

Xiao Jingchuan drew his sword and reined in his horse, standing in front of the city gate and shouting orders.

"Li Huchen? Where is Li Huchen?!" Xiao Lang reined in his horse and looked around for the generals in the darkness.

"Yes! General! I am here!"

Li Huchen hurried to his side, and later, hearing the general's call, Sun Peizhong, Liu Wenbing, Gong Yonggu and others also gathered in front of Xiao Lang again, waiting for further orders.

Seeing that his loyal minister had arrived, Xiao Jingchuan swung his arms and threw Liu Dabala, who was riding with him, off the horse. If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that Liu Dabala now has an extra dagger stuck in his waist. It seems that Xiao Jingchuan did it on purpose. He was afraid that if he delayed for too long, the old man might wake up and attack from behind, so he gave him this dagger to kill him completely!

"Li Huchen, this man is the city's garrison commander, also known as Liu Dabala!"

As he spoke, Xiao Lang casually pulled the head of General Sun Qian from his waist and threw it into Li Huchen's arms.

"This! It's the head of Chief Sun Qian, the officer who secured the money!"

"Take your troops and rush along this street to the east of the city!"

"We made a mistake in our previous calculations. There are more than 700 newly recruited militiamen in the east city barracks, plus more than half of the 500 people who are escorting the money!" "Find a fast horse and take the men to calm the situation down!"

"We don't have enough heads for this battle, so we'll make up for it with momentum!"

"Hu Chen, everyone says you are as brave as Zhang Fei. Today we will find out how brave you are!"

"Go quickly!"

"If we can't hold down the east side of the city, the whole army will be in danger tonight!"

"Success or failure depends on this!"

The chestnut horse under Xiao Jingchuan was very human-like and was extremely irritable at the moment, snorting and stamping its hooves left and right.

"Yes!"

"Don't worry, General. If we fail to take the east of the city, I, Li Huchen, will come to you with my head!"

As he was speaking, Hu Chen was extremely excited. He became ruthless, swung his arms wide, snatched the reins of the horse handed to him by a soldier beside him, and jumped up!

"Brothers, tonight is our time to show off our might! East City Barracks, follow me to the battle!"

"drive!"

After he finished speaking, Li Huchen led his soldiers and rushed towards the military camp east of Yi County like a whirlwind!

Seeing Hu Chen and his men leave, Xiao Jingchuan did not stop and quickly continued with his orders.

"Sun Peizhong!"

"To!"

"You also lead your troops and follow me to the southeast to pick up Gu Changting, and go straight to the county government office in the city to eliminate the more than a hundred patrolling enemy soldiers there!"

"As ordered!"

"Liu Wenbing, Gong Yonggu, each of you will take half of your troops and go to the south gate and north gate of the city. Make sure you capture them all!"

"Hurry up! If you let any of the bandits escape through these two doors, I will hold you two responsible!"

"Yes! Got it!" the two generals also replied.

Follow the order immediately!

Without stopping for a moment, the four armies attacked in all directions at the same time!
Under the west gate, only more than thirty militiamen from Xu Jizu's army who had just joined the siege were left to guard the city.

22: PM (: PM)

Xiao Jingchuan quickly gave orders from the west gate, turned back, led Sun Peizhong and more than 300 of his own men, and rushed to the southeast lane to meet Gu Changting who stayed behind to block the attack.

Bang bang bang!
"Deputy General Gu! The enemy's firepower is too strong!"

"It can't be stopped!"

Beside Chang Ting, a militiaman from Xu Jizu's army just shouted loudly, and the next moment, there was a bang!
That man was also shot dead.

Gu Changting was in a tight spot, short of manpower and ammunition, but he still led less than ten people to hold the bunkers on both sides of the street!

"Hold on, everyone!"

"The general has issued a strict order to stop the bandits and not let any of them get away!"

boom!
Just as Gu Changting reiterated the mission, suddenly, the bandits who were chasing from the direction of the county government office suddenly brought in the Menfran cannon.

How could Chang Ting have expected this? When he was caught off guard, the opponent fired a cannon which exploded not far from his side!

This sudden attack almost cost Gu Changting his life!

"Hahaha!"

"Yes, just blast me like this!"

"I want to see how long these thieves can hold out?!"

In contrast to the difficulties on Changting's side, the leader of the 100 generals on the opposite side, now with the French machine, immediately became several times more arrogant. They had no idea what Xiao Lang's troops were planning. Even though one of the two main officers was dead and the other was missing, they still believed that this was the work of bandits seeking revenge because of the large number of soldiers in the city!
