Chapter 345 General Wu fell into the trap of the Great Zhou

This trap is easy to dig. As long as you take advantage of the other party's mentality of wanting to capture the city before Qi Minsong and take down a city gate, the trap will naturally fall out.

After two days of stalemate, General Wu, after all, was a veteran with experience in charging into battle, so he would not fall into the trap right away.

Therefore, this pit needs to be dug carefully and not made too obvious.

Otherwise, no matter how much General Wu wanted to make a contribution, he would not jump in.

After careful discussion, they planned to withdraw thousands of troops every day to create the illusion that the South Gate was about to be unable to resist for the Western Chu army outside.

Another move: open the door to meet the enemy, close the door to beat the dog!

On the morning of the third day, General Wu discovered that the defense of the south gate of Xi'an was becoming increasingly difficult. Several times, their men climbed up the city wall and occupied one-third of it.

He drew his sword, representing the entire army's attack towards the city of Xi'an.

With this idea in mind, General Wu got what he wanted two hours later. His men broke open the south gate with siege equipment.

As soon as the city gate opened, many Western Chu soldiers rushed into the city.

The soldiers of the Great Zhou behind the city gate were standing relatively scattered. One third of the troops had already been withdrawn, leaving only one third to resist.

General Wu had naturally been prepared. He sent people to check, and found out that those responsible for guarding the South Gate were Chu Jiang, Tang Yuhuai, Han Yaojun and several other young generals.

The defenders of Xi'an City numbered barely 100,000. Faced with an army of more than 100,000 from Western Chu, and an attack from three directions, the South Gate had to withdraw some troops.

General Wu felt that these young men were really underestimating the enemy. They were so careless relying on their fame that they transferred so many troops away, and only had so few people left to resist their offensive.

As soon as the Western Chu army rushed into the city gate, the Great Zhou defenders quickly hid in the alley and disappeared quickly.

Not only was his reaction quick, but his movements were also skillful, as if he had guessed that this would happen and had rehearsed and demonstrated it countless times in advance.

At first, General Wu thought that the Zhou defenders were afraid and fled, but the city gates were soon closed.

There were 20,000 soldiers from Western Chu who rushed in. The ones who closed the city gate were a dozen soldiers who suddenly appeared. They changed into the Western Chu soldiers and mixed in.

They deliberately kept retreating towards the direction of the city gate, and when a lot of people came in, they suddenly slammed the door shut.

As they suddenly closed the city gate, there was some commotion, and other Western Chu soldiers asked them why they wanted to close the gate?

But without saying a word, they suddenly drew their weapons, aimed at the enemy's body, and stabbed hard.

General Wu saw this and knew that the situation had changed. He looked fierce and said, "This is bad! Get out now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of soldiers wearing the unified armor of the Great Zhou appeared on the roof.

Holding bows and arrows in their hands, they shot at the Western Chu soldiers on the main street without saying a word.

Arrows are flying all over the sky, coming as they please.

The Western Chu soldiers below had no way to avoid the bullets and were shot directly, falling down quickly, one after another!

"General, we've been ambushed!"

"These despicable people of Da Zhou!"

General Wu concentrated on blocking the arrows that were shot at him, and at the same time scolded his subordinates, "Calm down, tell the soldiers behind to open the door quickly, and we will leave the city quickly!"

As soon as the confidant nodded, a sharp arrow came with great force, pierced his throat directly, and then pierced the bodies of the two soldiers fiercely...

General Wu felt a chill in his heart and looked suddenly in the direction where the arrow came from. He saw a young man in a moon-white brocade robe drawing a bow and pulling out another arrow and putting it on.

This time the arrow was pointed at... General Wu.

Seeing this, the other followers gathered around and surrounded General Wu. Someone shouted, "Protect the general!"

There was still blood splattered on General Wu's face from the deputy general. Even though it was only a small amount, he would never forget the feeling of witnessing someone's death at such a close distance.

Judging from the fact that the arrow could penetrate the bodies of three people, the young man is no ordinary man. He has great arm strength and is an excellent archer!

Of course he had seen this man before, Chu Jiang, the grandson of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery of the Great Zhou.

The 20,000 Western Chu soldiers who entered the city realized that they had fallen into an ambush.

Chu Xi and Tang Yuhuai fully utilized their fear of failing to capture Xi'an City after a long siege, as well as General Wu's eagerness to make achievements and try to suppress Qi Minsong.

They created the illusion that they were about to lose the city, and dug the pit bit by bit in advance, waiting for General Wu and the Western Chu soldiers to jump in today.

As soon as the city gates were closed, countless soldiers of the Great Zhou suddenly appeared on the city walls, aiming at the Western Chu soldiers outside who realized that something was wrong and attempted to break into Xi'an to rescue them.

Countless sharp arrows shot from the sky, and countless Western Chu soldiers were so crowded that they had no place to retreat and could only watch the sharp arrows pierce through their bodies.

Qi Minsong took advantage of the opportunity when General Wu led his troops to war and finally found a chance to escape. As soon as he came out, he saw the tragic scene of large numbers of casualties.

He gripped the spear tightly in his hand, grabbed the clothes of a soldier who was fleeing in panic, and asked, "What's going on?"

"General Wu fell into the Great Zhou's trap and was locked up in the city and can't get out!"

Qi Minsong's face changed slightly. He was not so kind that he would want to rescue someone who had deliberately made things difficult for him.

His concerns were elsewhere...

"How many soldiers are there in the city?"

Since General Wu broke into the city and was ambushed by Chu Jiang and his men, he definitely did not break in alone!

The Western Chu army has always had an advantage in terms of military strength. Although it only has 30,000 or 40,000 more troops, this number is not small.

If Chu Jiang and his team could find a way to close this gap, they would no longer have any advantage at all!

The soldier was so scared that he quickly shook his head, "I don't know."

"Think about this carefully!" Qi Minsong could no longer maintain the composure of a child from an aristocratic family. He was repeatedly held back by his stupid teammates, and even the best composure would collapse.

The captured soldier gave a rough number under Qi Minsong's murderous gaze, "It should be 20,000 or 30,000. I'm not sure!"

The veins on the back of Qi Minsong's hands bulged, and as the soldier begged for mercy again and again, he loosened his grip on his clothes.

The soldier was so frightened by Qi Minsong that his legs went limp. Even though Qi Minsong didn't throw him on purpose, he still lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Qi Jianshu listened to the whole thing and said solemnly, "General, what should we do now?"

If you get close to the city gate, countless arrows will be shot at you. If you don't get close...

Those more than 20,000 people were bound to die in the city of Xi’an!

Qi Minsong closed his eyes and hardened his heart, "Rush over and take down the South Gate!"

He couldn't bear to watch those 20,000 soldiers die in the city without any help. The only solution now was to rush into the city and kill them regardless of everything.

Reopen the South Gate, rescue the soldiers trapped in the city, or capture the South Gate directly!

It was General Wu's fault that he was too impatient and rushed in without checking the situation inside the city clearly!

Not for General Wu, but just for the twenty or thirty thousand soldiers, Qi Minsong had no choice but to follow the troops!
