The target was the Death Knight!
Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath and stood behind the Wrath Claw. In his eyes, there was only the city gate.
Bai Xiaowen ignored the arrows flying from the top of the city wall.
Even if he was injured by a few arrows, it would only increase Bai Xiaowen's Pain Potential and increase his strength.
As for the danger to his life, it would not be life-threatening.
Bai Xiaowen's Bracelet of Misfortune on his left wrist had been reminding him.
Finally, Bai Xiaowen rushed to the city gate of Xudu, only ten meters away from the moat. The winged cavalry behind him also began to trot forward to follow him.
Ancient Martial Art Profundity — Super Serpent!
A huge wave of flames surged out and drowned the city gate of Xudu in front of him.
Because Bai Xiaowen's strength value was very high at this time, it had exceeded 100 points, so the impact of the serpent was extremely shocking! It was not inferior to the strength of the battering ram.
Boom!
The two gates collapsed with a loud bang.
However, he didn't see the streets that he had expected to be wide and flat.
Behind the collapsed city gate of Xudu, there were thick sandbags of earth and stone.
"Retreat!"
Bai Xiaowen ordered urgently.
On the city wall, the defenders of Xudu laughed and cursed while shooting arrows.
Fortunately, the winged cavalry did not start to speed up, so they reined in their horses and retreated. Even after taking the arrows on the city wall, there were only a few casualties.
But … it was not a good start!
Bai Xiaowen activated the Magic Cloud Shield and finally retreated.
"What's going on … It seems that Xudu is already prepared?" Li Shuyi said gloomily.
"Did the awakened from the Divine Court give an early warning of our attack on Xudu?" Cecilia said.
Qiao Rui shook his head. "If the awakened from the Divine Court is really here, the most advantageous way for them to 'expel' us is to pretend that they don't know and let our vanguard enter the city. Then, they will close the city gate and cut our army in two. Then, they will help the defenders kill one of them."
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly and said, "Yes, there shouldn't be any awakened from the Divine Court here. It's just Xun's vigilance."
Bai Xiaowen said slowly when he saw his teammates looking at him.
"Our whereabouts should have been exposed when we were at Yanling Pass."
"How could that be? We were very careful. We didn't light the beacon," said Li Shuyi.
Bai Xiaowen said, "Yan Ling Pass is Xu Du's barrier, if Xun can design two generals, one in the open and one in the dark, then he can devise other methods! After all, it was indeed not very reassuring to place one's hopes on a beacon tower.
"Xun might have designed other warning methods. Perhaps when Deng Tong or Zhou Ding died, Xu Du had some way to get the news?
"After all, this is the Three Kingdoms of the Spirit Realm. With supernatural powers like Daoist techniques, this kind of warning method is not rare. And after hearing the news of the death of the Yan Ling Pass's general, Xun immediately gave the order to prepare for war. He used the prepared sandbags of earth and rocks to seal the city gates … In terms of time, this also matches up. "
Qiao Rui said, "There's no point in discussing why we were exposed. The important thing is how to deal with it."
Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath and said, "There's no other way. If the cavalry attacks the city, the advantage will be lost. It's the worst plan. Since Xu Du is on guard and can't directly attack, we can only change our strategy. "
"Wait for Jiao Tan and Zhang Nan to lead the twenty thousand Youzhou soldiers over," Li Shuyi said knowingly.
Bai Xiaowen nodded. "That's the insurance we prepared. It's time to use it."
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen continued.
"We arrived at Xu Du ahead of time. Although we can't break into the city, it's not meaningless! I'll say two things now. These are what we should do next before the Youzhou army arrives.
"First, destroy the garrison stations in the four suburbs of Xu Du and kill the garrison soldiers.
"Second, seal the four gates of Xu Du and strictly cut off all news.
"Third, attack day and night. Don't let Xu Du's garrison rest in peace!"
Bai Xiaowen's mentality changed very quickly.
Originally, the winged cavalry sneak attack on Xu Du was the main force.
Now that the enemy was on guard and the plan had been thwarted, there was no point in being depressed.
They should immediately change their minds and use the winged cavalry as the vanguard.
They should do what the vanguard could and should do to prepare for the attack when the twenty thousand Youzhou soldiers arrive.
Qiao Rui reminded, "We tried our best to block the news, but the news of Xu Du being invaded will still spread. Yingchuan and even the entire Yuzhou army will come to save us. How long until Jiao Tan arrives? "
"Based on my estimation, he'll be two days later than us."
Bai Xiaowen got up and said, "Go, I'll mark out the paths around Xu Du for everyone. Each of you lead a hundred cavalry and guard the paths. I'll lead the other four hundred to clean up the garrison stations. Block the news of Xu Du for as long as you can! "
… …
Bai Xiaowen led the winged cavalry around the four suburbs of Xu Du. They tore down the houses they saw, not to mention the enemies.
What needed to be mentioned was that the people they killed were not normal civilians, but the old and weak soldiers sent by Cao Cao.
The garrison soldiers were unlucky, but the defending troops on the battlements of Xu Du did not dare to slack off.
There were many elite squad leaders and squad leaders, but none of them were a match for Bai Xiaowen.
There were also some smart garrison soldiers who took advantage of the fact that the sky was not bright to escape. These cunning soldiers did not escape toward Xu Du, but toward the other prefectures of Yingchuan.
Their plan was really smart. If they escaped toward Xu Du, it would be impossible for Xu Du to open the city. If they escaped to the other prefectures, they could spread the news and call for reinforcements. Who knows, they might even be able to get a huge reward.
Unfortunately, Bai Xiaowen had made arrangements ahead of time.
It didn't take long for his teammates on all the routes to send back news that they had captured a large number of garrison soldiers. Furthermore, they had carried out Bai Xiaowen's order not to take any prisoners. When they were surrounded by enemies, they couldn't be soft-hearted.
Bai Xiaowen led the four hundred winged cavalry and sped up the cleaning process.
Finally, at the last garrison, they caught a big fish.
Okay, it was just a relatively big fish: Cao Cao's appointed general in charge of agriculture, Ren Jun.
Ren Jun was in charge of the transportation of Guandu's army provisions and fodder. This time he returned to Xu Du to rush the grain, so he returned to his family's Field Garrison Guard station to rest for a while. While he was at it, he took the opportunity to inspect the situation.
Luckily, Bai Xiaowen used [Insight] and saw that Ren Jun was not a battle-type leader. He was a support type and did not pose much of a threat. He also had the logistics skills of garrisoning and grain, so he could be considered a talent.
"You have a special talent, it would be a waste to kill you. I am Youzhou Governor Yuan Xi. I led the troops here today and will be able to break into Xu Du in a few days. Let me ask you, are you willing to surrender? "Bai Xiaowen made an exception to give Ren Jun a chance.
