The south gate of Chen County was in chaos, with sounds of killing everywhere.

King Chen and the officials and soldiers of Chen State who accompanied him never thought that there would be assassins among these refugees.

Moreover, half of the young men among the refugees are thieves disguised as thieves.

Therefore, while King Chen was appeasing the refugees, a refugee suddenly took out a dagger and directly wiped King Chen Liu Chong's neck.

Chen Wang Liu Chong, who was brave and good at fighting, was caught off guard and died on the spot with blood splattering three feet.

Immediately afterwards, there were about a thousand strong men among the refugees. They all took out weapons from their tattered packages and saluted, and started to kill the people accompanying King Chen.

And also showed the banner of Huainan Yuan Shu.

In a hurry, the five hundred soldiers escorting King Chen only had time to snatch out the body of King Chen Liu Chong and then retreated towards the city gate.

However, the purpose of Yuan Shu sending Zhang Kai here was to find Chen County, where Chen State's savings were located. How could Zhang Kai let these soldiers return to the city?

Therefore, Zhang Kai immediately led more than a thousand vanguards to surround and kill the five hundred soldiers, and according to the agreed signal, he asked his follow-up soldiers hidden in the distance to come as soon as possible.

At the same time, Zhang Kai had already placed hundreds of soldiers in the city.

However, those soldiers did not appear as refugees, but entered Chen County earlier as merchants, hawkers, passers-by, etc.

At this moment, Zhang Kai launched an attack outside the city and suddenly assassinated King Chen Liu Chong. The ambushed men and horses in the city also immediately launched an attack and occupied the south gate of Chen County.

As a result, Zhang Kai led his troops to attack the five hundred Chen soldiers from both sides inside and outside the south gate of Chen County.

The rest of the defenders in Chen County are either taking turns resting at home, not in the military camp, or are defending four gates respectively, and cannot all come for reinforcements in a short time.

In addition, King Chen was suddenly stabbed to death, and Chen Prime Minister Luo Jun also left the city and was no longer in the city.

Therefore, Chen County, which was suddenly in trouble, was leaderless. Even if there were sporadic defenders coming to help, it would be a drop in the bucket if no one was mobilized.

Seeing more refugees coming from the south of the city, Zhang Kai's follow-up troops who were among the refugees also raised their flags and came to kill them.

The city gate of Chen County is already in danger

"Brothers, follow me and kill!

By winning over Chen Guo, we have achieved the greatest success!

When we return to Huainan, at His Majesty's place, we no longer have to look at people with blank eyes and can walk sideways!

After entering the city, no one can touch the money and food treasury of Chen State. It belongs to His Majesty.

But the women of the common people in the city can do whatever you want, I don’t care!"

At the city gate, Zhang Kai was fighting with his sword. He looked like an excited gangster, and he didn't look like a general at all.

It's no wonder that Zhang Kai himself is a rough man and was born among the Yellow Turban bandits.

If he is a man of his duty, , and would not kill Cao Cao's father's family, plunder the treasures, and escape...

Zhang Kai's direct descendants were all fierce bandits like him. After hearing Zhang Kai's words, they all cheered With a cry, their fighting spirit became stronger.

When they were under Yuan Shu, they and their boss Zhang Kai were looked down upon by Yuan Shu's subordinate Wen Wu. They were like rats crossing the street, and they could only behave with their tail between their legs, but they were so frustrated.

Now they have arrived at Chen As long as they can capture Chen County, they can plunder the people of Chen State in the city and humiliate the women of Chen State at will.

The excitement makes these gangsters’ eyes red. Come on!

Even the Huainan soldiers sent by Yuan Shu to Zhang Kai, although they were not direct descendants of Zhang Kai, were all very excited when they heard Zhang Kai's order and displayed their full combat effectiveness.

Under Zhang Kai's order In the excitement of plundering the city, Zhang Kai and his men took advantage of their strength and quickly occupied the south gate.

But the five hundred Chen soldiers were retreating steadily.

Even if there were sporadic defenders coming to help, they could not help each other. The troops gathered by Zhang Kai were still somewhat smaller than those gathered by Zhang Kai, so they were defeated.

After all, although there were three thousand defenders in Chen County, they were not defending the city all the time. They were divided into three shifts and took turns.

Especially during the spring plowing season. , the other two thousand defenders who took turns taking turns were mostly farming outside the city.

There were only a thousand troops on duty inside the city. Five hundred of them were the soldiers who followed King Chen to appease the refugees.

At this moment, the five hundred soldiers, in order to protect themselves The family members in the city fought to the death with Zhang Kai.

Although the remaining 500 defenders from other gates rushed to support them in batches as soon as possible, they were still outnumbered in the face of the nearly 2,000 troops Zhang Kai had gathered. The enemy was somewhat overwhelmed.

Looking outside the city, more Zhang Kai's reinforcements were coming. These Chen County defenders were almost in despair.

"Where is the king? Where is the king?

The king is brave and good at fighting. If he is here, he will definitely be able to stop these thieves!"

A commander-level officer who came to help from the east gate shouted loudly while fighting hard.

He didn't know the news that King Chen was dead yet.

"The king has been assassinated by these thieves, and his body is here!"

Another general said sadly. He was one of the five hundred soldiers accompanying King Chen Liu Chong.

Now of the five hundred soldiers he led, there are only less than three hundred left.

"Where is the Prime Minister? Where is the Prime Minister?"

The village chief of the east gate didn't have time to be shocked by the news of King Chen's death, but asked about the Prime Minister Luo Jun again.

If King Chen and the Prime Minister are together, the army and people of Chen State will have a backbone.

"Not long ago, the Prime Minister went to the west of the city, fifteen miles away, to see Cao Ang to return food. In a short while, he might not be able to get back in time!"

Another injured official spoke up.

King Chen was dead and the Prime Minister was not in the city. After learning the news, the defenders couldn't help but become more desperate and their morale became lower and lower.

Zhang Kai looked at this scene and laughed. He said:"Stop resisting, just surrender.

What's wrong with following this general to join the Zhong clan in Huainan?"

"King Chen is dead, and your Prime Minister Luo Jun is just a white-faced Confucian scholar. Even if he is in the city, what use will he be!"

Zhang Kai laughed loudly as he pressed forward step by step.

He originally wanted to assassinate Chen Wang Liu Chong and the Prime Minister Luo Jun as refugees.

But he did not expect that only Chen Wang Liu Chong and the Prime Minister Luo Jun left the city just now. There was no country. Prime Minister Luo Jun.

After some insinuations, Liu Chong found out that Chen Guo owed Cao Ang 10,000 shi of grain. Cao Ang happened to come to pick up the grain today, and Luo Jun went to block Cao Ang outside the city.

Although it was a pity that Luo Jun was not here, he had to Knowing that Luo Jun had gone fifteen miles outside the city, and with Cao Ang by his side, Zhang Kai still took action in order to avoid long nights and many dreams.

He knew in his heart that Chen County must be captured before Luo Jun and Cao Ang learned the news.

Otherwise , once Luo Jun mobilizes the troops from other cities to come for reinforcements, and Cao Ang brings the Ruyang garrison to intervene, the situation will be bad. Until now, leading the first two thousand soldiers, he entered the south gate, and was about to After establishing a firm footing in the city, Zhang Kai breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, he was sure of taking over Chen County, right?

However, at this moment, he could only hear another killing sound from the west and south of the city. Suddenly, there was another killing sound. Then Zhang Kai saw a large army coming from the direction of the west gate. Although the number was small, it was murderous and very elite!

"Unfortunately, general, enemy troops have appeared outside the south gate and are attacking our rear team.

The enemy is very brave, and as soon as the rear team engages in battle, they can't resist it!"

A confidant came from behind and reported to Zhang Kai.

Zhang Kai's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes were extremely shocked:"How is it possible? This general has already calculated everything!

It would take an hour or two for Chen Guo's latest reinforcements to arrive. How come they arrived so quickly!

Where did Chen Guo get reinforcements from?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Kai stopped abruptly, the shock dissipated in his eyes, and a hint of panic appeared!

Because he saw the enemy at the front of Ximen, with a huge banner with the word Cao, and next to it there was a deputy general's flag with the word Dian. banner……
