In Yunnan City, Zhang Jin and Zhao Yi had experienced great joy and great sorrow.
Life was like a roller coaster.
First, he saw the shadow of the barbarian army. Zhao Yi was so excited that he wanted to take the head of the barbarian army to claim credit. However, after that, he was scolded by Wang Cheng. Not only did he fail to find the head of the barbarian army, he even managed to besiege Yunnan City.
Zhao Yi was so scared that he immediately sent out 800 li to Jianning to find his father, Zhao Wei, for help.
Zhao Wei sent out Yang Chao for the sake of Yunnan City. He thought that Yang Chao's five thousand strong army would be easy to deal with. Seeing Yang Chao's army arrive, Zhao Yi and Zhang Jin were relieved.
However, this relief didn't last long. Yang Chao was defeated.
Yunnan City became more and more terrified. After that, Zhao Wei's army arrived. Although Zhao Yi's expression was ugly, because his father had come, it meant that he had lost face.
However, as long as Yunnan City wasn't broken, he was relieved.
But now, the fire outside the city, as well as the battle cries, was truly frightening.
"Open the city gates, quickly open the gates!" Below the city walls, the sound of people banging on the city gates could be heard.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The soldiers on the walls of Yunnan suddenly shouted.
"Where did the enemy come from? Prepare for battle! "Zhao Yi went back to rest. Only Zhang Jin was still on the city walls.
"Enemy attack your ass!" Curses could be heard from below the city walls.
"Yizhou dialect?!" Everyone was surprised to hear that. Wasn't that a Yizhou accent?
"Quickly open the gates!" The shouts continued. More and more heads appeared. Under the illumination of the city lights, they could see clearly.
"Who is below the city walls?" Zhang Jin stood at the front and asked the people below.
"Are you Zhang Jin?" Someone below the city walls replied.
"En?" Zhang Jin was stunned. Someone recognized him?
"I am Huang Jian. Hurry up and open the city gates!" Huang Jian shouted from below the city.
"General Huang Jian?" Huang Jian was one of the generals under Zhao Wei. Naturally, everyone knew him.
Even though Zhang Jin knew that it was Huang Jian, he couldn't easily open the city gates. It was the middle of the night, what if the enemy was pretending to be him?
"General Huang Jian, it is already late and Second Young Master has already gone to bed. General, please rest outside the city for the night. Tomorrow morning, this one will report to Second Young Master and obtain Second Young Master's permission to open the city gates!" Zhang Jin cautiously said from the top of the city walls.
"Bullsh * t!" Before Huang Jian could open his mouth, the general beside Huang Jian couldn't help but shout, "Hurry up and open the city gates! Knowing that our general is here, we're not afraid of the enemy!"
"You can't tell at night!" Zhang Jin continued to dissuade him.
"Hmph, Zhang Jin, if you still don't open the city gates, then don't blame us for going there ourselves!" Under the city walls, a threatening smell overflowed.
With so many people below the city walls, how many soldiers could there be on the city walls? Huang Jian already knew that there were at most a thousand people on the city walls, and half of them were commoners.
The commoners were even encouraged by Zhang Jin to climb up the city wall.
"You!" Zhang Jin's subordinate on the city walls was also unyielding. "Huang Jian, how can you treat the governor like this? If you want to attack by force, then come at me. I want to see how you're going to explain yourself in front of the lord!"
"Haha!" One of Huang Jian's subordinates laughed loudly. If it was before, Huang Jian might still be afraid of Zhao Wei. But now, Zhao Wei had already turned into a ghost. What was there to be afraid of?
"Since Lord Zhang Jin is unwilling to open the city gates, then don't blame me, Huang Jian! Military matters are urgent, I'll offend you! Pass down my orders, attack the city! "Huang Jian suddenly ordered from below the city walls.
"Prepare for battle!" The people on the city walls were also hot-tempered. They directly prepared for battle.
"Open the city gates!" Zhang Jin said in a low voice.
"Governor!" The situation below the city walls was unclear. How could they open the city gates? If it was an enemy, then what should they do?
"Enemy? Even if it is an enemy, do you think we have the ability to resist? "Zhang Jin said to his subordinates with a bitter smile.
Ever since Zhao Yi had ordered Wang Cheng to bring thousands of troops out of the city, there was no difference whether the city was defended or not.
Yunnan City was originally a stronghold level city. But now, the city's sturdiness had become a disadvantage.
Because it was too big, each city gate had to have three thousand people spread out to form a circle. But now, Zhang Jin only had a thousand people at the very most. Furthermore, there were four sides of the city walls. What was there to play with?
If the enemy came to attack the city, they would only be defeated.
"Why aren't you opening the city gates?!" Zhang Jin roared at his subordinates. If they stopped the enemy, the enemy would be enraged and kill countless people. It would be better to open the city gates. Perhaps they would let the people in the city go on account of opening the city gates.
"Yes!"
"Open the city gates!"
"Kakaka!"
"Who's there? Enemy attack! Enemy attack! " Suddenly, someone shouted. Of course, these words were not uttered by Zhang Jin, but by Huang Jian's troops below the city.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Suddenly, the city became chaotic. It turned out that another group of soldiers had appeared behind Huang Jian's men. Under the dark sky, both sides were ready to fight.
No one knew who fired the first shot, but this time, the fun was huge. The city walls were filled with killing.
The sounds of killing filled the air.
"Sir, this, this?" The officials beside Zhang Jin were dumbfounded. What was going on? Why did the city walls start to kill each other?
"Close the city gates. We will decide tomorrow!" Zhang Jin was also confused. What was going on?
The sounds of killing continued outside the city. On the contrary, Zhang Jin and the rest of the Yunnan City Guards were watching a show. It was strange.
The sky gradually brightened.
The people on the city walls looked carefully.
"This, this, this!" Everyone was dumbfounded.
There were two groups of soldiers fighting. One side was Huang Jian and the other side was Jiang Jian.
Weren't these the banners of the Yunnan City Guards?
Huang Jian and Jiang Hua also seemed to understand the situation, and both of them began to back down.
"Huang Jian is here? Where is he? Did my father defeat the Barbarians and return victorious? " Zhao Yi had also woken up. This Zhao Yi, the second son of the Zhao family, was also a weirdo. That night of fighting and shouting did not affect Zhao Yi's sleep at all.
This morning, Zhang Jin had sent someone to inform him. That was why he had arrived late.
"Second Young Master!" When Zhang Jin saw Zhao Yi, he stepped forward and said to Zhao Yi.
Zhang Jin was also bitter because the situation was completely out of his control.
"Jiang Hua, Huang Jian!" Zhao Yi saw Huang Jian and Jiang Hua on the city walls.
Seeing the two valiant generals under Zhao Wei, Zhao Yi was happy. However, he was puzzled.
"Jiang Hua, Huang Jian, where is my father?" Zhao Yi went up the city walls and shouted at Huang Jian and Jiang Hua.
Although these two were Zhao Wei's generals, Zhao Yi was the second young master. It was normal for him to be arrogant and domineering.
But this time, the two of them didn't care about Zhao Yi at all. Instead, the two of them looked at each other. The soldiers under their command were also on the verge of a fight.
"Jiang Hua, Huang Jian, you two are not bowing to the second young master when you see him!" One of Zhao Yi's henchmen was happy and scolded the two men. He wanted to scold the two men so that he could be pampered by Zhao Yi.
"En?!" Jiang Hua and Huang Jian's gazes swept over at the same time. Their eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The two of them had a bellyful of anger. Last night, Huang Jian's troops had arrived at Yunnan City first. They had thought that they would be able to take over Yunnan City and gain the upper hand.
However, they were blocked by Zhang Jin. Just as they were about to force Zhang Jin to open the city gates, Jiang Hua arrived.
If you want to come, so be it. You came so quietly. With one in front and one behind, plus the sky was dark, Zhang Jin was already on the verge of breaking out in a crossbow situation.
All of a sudden, there was an explosion. Both sides didn't know who made the first move, but they started fighting. In the darkness, both sides really had a good fight.
They fought from last night until this morning. One of them lost three thousand men while the other lost four thousand men.
Almost half of the battle was over. How could they not be angry?
Therefore, when the sky brightened, although both sides had stopped fighting and entered the city, the smell of gunpowder still filled the air.
Fortunately, both of them still had some restraint. They knew that there was a huge gap between their strength. If they really fought, it would not be good for either side.
However, they still needed to vent their anger. This time, Zhao Yi's henchman gave them a chance.
"What did you just say?" Huang Jian narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Yi's henchman.
"Say it again if you dare!" Jiang Hua also looked over and glared at him.
"I, I, I!" Zhao Yi's henchman could not help but panic in his heart.
"What? Do the two generals have something against my men?" Zhao Yi was also annoyed, so he stood up. Although he couldn't make Huang Jian and Jiang Hua kneel down in front of Zhao Yi, these two people couldn't just walk all over him.
With the backing of his master, Zhao Yi, this lackey naturally became stronger.
"That's right! Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to my second young master like that! "Zhao Yi's henchman began to be proud.
"Who do you think we are?" Huang Jian narrowed his eyes and walked forward. Zhao Yi's henchman thought that Huang Jian did not dare to speak to him anymore. Suddenly, Huang Jian pulled out a long sword from his waist and stabbed him.
It directly went through his chest and he died on the spot.
"You, you, how dare you!" Zhao Yi looked at his henchman who died under Huang Jian's long sword and pointed at Huang Jian speechlessly.
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Huang Jian sneered and said.
"That's right, why wouldn't we dare?" Jiang Hua who was at the side also stepped forward and pulled out his saber. With a swing of his saber, he chopped off the head of Zhao Yi's henchman. He did not mind the bloody head and directly lifted it up.
"You, you two! Good, good, good. Wait for my father to come. I want to see what you two want! " Zhao Yi's threat was obvious.
"Your father?" Jiang Hua and Huang Jian looked at each other and smiled. If Zhao Wei was here, they would not fight like this.
"Second young master, let me tell you a piece of bad news. Milord has been defeated!" Jiang Hua and Huang Jian said to Zhao Yi.
"What!" Zhao Yi's pupils dilated. Subconsciously, he did not believe it. His father led thirty thousand troops. How could he be defeated?
He still lost in the hands of those barbarians.
Zhang Jin was different from Zhao Yi. He was observing Huang Jian and Jiang Hua's actions from the side. Jiang Hua and Huang Jian weren't easy to deal with. But now, the two of them seemed to have changed into another person.
Their faces were completely different.
This meant that something must have happened to Milord.
Now, after listening to the words of these two people, Zhang Jin was eighty percent convinced.
"This is not true. You two are spreading the news!" Zhao Yi stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Hua's head.
Zhao Yi's height was really taller than Jiang Hua by a head. Jiang Hua became angry and said, "Let go!" He kicked Zhao Yi, causing him to stagger.
"It can't be, it can't be!" Zhao Yi was still muttering to himself.
"Trash!" Jiang Hua said disdainfully to Zhao Yi. This lord had two sons. The eldest son was still alright, but the second son was just a piece of trash. If it wasn't for Zhao Wei, who was his father, Zhao Yi would have died many times over.
Jiang Hua was about to kick Zhao Yi again.
However, he was stopped by Zhang Jin at the side.
"Come on, help the second young master to rest!" Zhang Jin stepped forward and stood in front of Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua saw that it was Zhang Jin. There were some things that he needed Zhang Jin's help, so he gave him face and retreated.
"Governor Zhang, my army has just been defeated. The enemy is following closely behind. They are about to reach this city. We should immediately set up defenses! Governor Zhang, I think this North Gate is good. My army will set up defenses here! "Jiang Hua said shamelessly. He wanted to occupy the North Gate.
If it was only Jiang Hua alone, Zhang Jin would be glad to hand over the North Gate to him.
However, it was not only Jiang Hua alone. There was also Huang Jian.
"General Jiang Hua, your wishful thinking is really good! You actually want the North Gate! " Huang Jian's mocking voice came from behind. What kind of place was the North Gate? It was the gate that connected Yunnan and Yi Zhou. Basically, merchants coming and going from Yi Zhou and Yunnan had to pass through here.
If you control the North Gate, you will not be afraid of money!
That's why Huang Jian ridiculed Jiang Hua. Huang Jian got angry as he spoke. If it wasn't for Zhang Jin delaying again and again, Huang Jian would have already entered the city before Jiang Hua.
Do you still need to wait until now? As long as Huang Jian entered the city and closed the gate, Jiang Hua would not dare to say anything. Now, not only did Jiang Hua enter the city, but he also wanted a yard after getting an inch. He wanted the northern city gate.
