Chapter 1870: Being fooled

Seeing Sun Zhongcai's voice change due to nervousness, the generals beside him were puzzled.

"General Sun, what's wrong with you?"

"General Sun, we're almost there, why do you want to go back to the city?"

"Yes, if we go back to the city at this time, the people of Shuiyue will definitely be more dissatisfied if they see us."

That's right, they have already welcomed them here, but before anyone came close, they turned their horses back. This was too disrespectful to the people of Shuiyue. If the people of Shuiyue saw them, they would definitely be dissatisfied with them.

However, Sun Zhongcai turned a deaf ear to what they said.

The people of Shuiyue are dissatisfied?

They have to come too!

But these people in front of them are not from Shuiyue at all!

They are rebels, and the person in front is Peng Chuan!

Sun Zhongcai shouted in his heart, his face was extremely pale, he hadn't figured out what was going on, why the army of Shuiyue suddenly became a rebel, why the general of Shuiyue became Peng Chuan.

What on earth is going on? !

Sun Zhongcai wanted to ask someone, but now it was clear that no one would give him an answer. Seeing that the generals around him had not reacted yet, Sun Zhongcai was too lazy to care about them. He turned his horse and headed for the city gate.

Not far from Sun Zhongcai and others, Peng Chuan, who was riding on a horse, saw this scene, but smiled slightly and said to himself: "Did you find it? It's a pity that it's too late."

After saying that, Peng Chuan waved his right hand, and then countless arrows flew out from behind him, and Sun Zhongcai and others were instantly covered by arrows.

Those generals were still wondering what happened to Sun Zhongcai, but before they could figure it out, the arrows were approaching, and in their horrified eyes, they were shot into hedgehogs, and they died instantly.

Sun Zhongcai, who was the first to react and reacted at the first time, also found it difficult to escape the order of being shot into a hornet's nest, because he was too close to Peng Chuan and others at this time, and his horse speed was obviously not as fast as the flying speed of the arrows.

Hearing the familiar sound of breaking air, Sun Zhongcai said with horror: "My life is over!"

Then, Sun Zhongcai and the horse under his buttocks were shot into a hornet's nest and fell heavily to the ground.

Peng Chuan glanced at the bodies of Sun Zhongcai and others, and ordered loudly: "Follow me!"

After that, Peng Chuan kicked his legs against the horse's belly and rushed to the front, heading towards the gate of Linshui City.

At this time, the soldiers in the city had not figured out what was going on. The guards at the gate and the top of the city witnessed everything just now and were still in shock. When they reacted, Peng Chuan and others, who were already very close to the gate, had already rushed to the gate.

"Die!"

Peng Chuan, who rushed to the front, bent slightly on the horse's back and slashed at a guard soldier who was trying to close the gate. The soldier didn't even have time to react. In fear, he was chopped to the ground by Peng Chuan.

The people who came with Peng Chuan attacked the other defenders at the city gate. The gate of Linshui City, which had just been opened, was not closed again in time. Peng Chuan led the army to the city continuously.

Linshui City, the gate was broken!

The defenders in the city had been disbanded by Sun Zhongcai, and the main generals, including Sun Zhongcai, died outside the city in a rain of arrows just now. Therefore, although they found that Peng Chuan and others had entered the city, the defenders in the city had no way to organize an effective resistance.

Before, they relied on the city defense and were under the command of Sun Zhongcai and others, but they could not beat Peng Chuan's army. Now, without the city defense to use and the command of generals such as Sun Zhongcai, the defenders in the city are even less likely to be the opponents of Peng Chuan and others.

After Peng Chuan and others entered the city, they were still in an empty space. No one could resist them. Some defenders who saw that the situation was not good did not choose to fight to the death, but chose to surrender.

They understood that Linshui City could no longer be defended.

Moreover, surrendering to Peng Chuan was not a shameful thing, nor was it something unacceptable, because Peng Chuan was originally from their Black Water Country and even had a great influence in the army. They had resisted Peng Chuan's attack on the city before, which was their duty. Now, things were no longer possible, and the people who gave them orders were all dead, so they could naturally surrender.

Surrender was like a contagion. The defenders in the city knelt down and surrendered one after another. The resistance that Peng Chuan and others encountered after entering the city was not great, and it almost disappeared at this time. They rushed to the palace almost without bloodshed.

There was their final destination. As long as Qi Feng was killed, the war would really end.

At this time, outside Linshui City, Hong Qingyun, wearing inner armor, looked at Linshui City with its gates open in the distance, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Everything just now was planned by him and Peng Chuan.

After receiving Wu Fan's order, Hong Qingyun led his army to Linshui City. His mission was to help Peng Chuan conquer Linshui City.

But Yelu Zong had already chosen to help Qi Feng, so Hong Qingyun naturally could not help Peng Chuan in a big way. He could only think of other ways, which led to the scene just now.

The method discussed by Hong Qingyun and Peng Chuan was: After Hong Qingyun brought his men, they would fight for a while to show the defenders on the top of the city, and then pretend to be defeated and retreat. During the retreat, Hong Qingyun asked his soldiers to take off their armor on the pretext that the armor was too conspicuous and not conducive to escape. Then, Peng Chuan ordered some of his men to wear the armor taken off by the Shuiyue soldiers. He even wore Hong Qingyun's armor. Then, he ordered another group of people to continue wearing the previous armor and pretend to escape. Because the distance from the top of the city was far, Sun Zhongcai on the top of the city could not see the scene clearly. He could only judge by the armor and flags. In this way, he fell into the plan of Peng Chuan and Hong Qingyun.

Peng Chuan also successfully entered the city.

Of course, Hong Qingyun did not do this to betray Yelu Zong, let alone Shuiyue Kingdom. Until now, he has always believed that Wu Fan is the person the prince trusts the most. Wu Fan's order is likely to be the prince's intention. He is actually helping the prince.

As for why the prince did this, Hong Qingyun guessed that the prince wanted to control Heishui Kingdom in secret and at the same time, he could take the opportunity to weaken the strength of Heishui Kingdom.

It is not impossible to do this. After all, the current prince has realized the importance of military power.
