Chapter 165 Gongsun Zan: I have a white horse that follows justice, who in the world can kill me?
Outside the city, in a forest three miles away.

Tian Kai, dressed in a coarse cloth gown, walked quickly to Gongsun Zan and said, "My lord, there really is a signal coming from the city wall!"

Gongsun Zan, who was discussing the assault with Tian Yu, immediately stopped all his actions, his eyes full of excitement: "What did you say? Say it again!"

Tian Kai panted lightly, "Within half an hour after we sent out the signal, five lanterns were hung on the tower. Three of them were always lit, and two of them flickered three times, exactly as we agreed before."

"That means Zhao Yongde has successfully placed his trusted aides on the city wall, and has taken control of the situation. He can open the city gates at any time!"

"We have a 30% chance of winning this battle. Now, as long as we kill Ye Feng, we can accomplish our goal. My lord will become the uncrowned king of Youzhou and be qualified to compete for supremacy in the world."

Gongsun Zan laughed loudly and stroked his beard: "It seems that we all underestimated Zhao Yongde."

"I'm afraid he has already placed his confidants at the city gate."

"God is really helping me!"

"According to the plan, the entire army is ready to attack Fanyang City in three quarters of an hour."

Tian Kai clasped his fists and saluted, then went down to pass on orders to the various troops.

After he left, the smile on Gongsun Zan's face never faded.

After a while, when he looked at Tian Yu, he saw that his brows were full of solemnity and thought. He immediately patted his shoulder and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Everything is going well, but you are worried, even more than before?"

"Don't want me to win?"

Tian Yu came back to his senses and shook his head quickly: "My Lord, I can..."

Before he finished explaining, Gongsun Zan smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, you have followed me for many years, how could I doubt you?"

"If you feel something is wrong, you can tell me!"

Tian Yu said: "Everything went so smoothly!"

"Ok?"

"Too smooth?"

Tian Yu nodded: "Ye Feng has been through many battles. Although he is young, he is thoughtful and has many strategies."

"Showing weakness to the enemy and repeatedly abandoning the city and fleeing made Qiu Liju, an old fox who had been on the battlefield all his life, become complacent and fell into the trap silently."

"In addition, it had just rained heavily and the ground was muddy, making it extremely difficult for the Wuhuan cavalry to escape, and they were eventually wiped out."

"No matter the weather, location, or people, Ye Feng has taken them all into account in this battle."

"How could such a person be so easily deceived by Zhao Yongde?"

Gongsun Zan laughed, as if he didn't take Tian Yu's words to heart at all.

"My Lord, do you think my analysis is unreasonable?"

Gongsun Zan shook his head: "No!"

"I can solve your problem."

"Oh?"

Gongsun Zan said: "First, Ye Feng did not expect that I, the 'White Horse General' who hates the barbarians, would open the Great Wall fortress and allow the Wuhuan cavalry to enter Youzhou."

"Secondly, we stayed up early and traveled at night, without exposing our whereabouts. How could he have expected that we would turn against him and attack Fanyang immediately after the daytime battle?"

"Third, Ye Feng is a young man. He just defeated 100,000 Wuhuan cavalrymen and will soon shock the world. How could he not have a little pride and complacency in his heart?"

"Given these three points, it is not surprising that Zhao Yongde, an old fox, schemed against me."

"Let's take a step back. Even if Zhao Yongde is exposed and surrounded by Ye Feng, how could he know our Yuetou code?"

"If you tell this kind of thing, you will definitely die. If you don't tell it, Ye Feng doesn't have enough evidence. Even if Zhao Yongde is killed, the hundreds of people in his family will definitely not be killed by Ye Feng."

"How could this old fox Zhao Yongde not know which is more important?"

"So the people on the city wall must be ours." Tian Yu wanted to argue, but he had no way to refute it.

Because Gongsun Zan's analysis is impeccable.

Two quarters of an hour passed quickly. Gongsun Zan mounted his horse and looked at his trusted officers and said solemnly, "Everyone, after tonight, Youzhou will be in a state of flux. No matter Wuhuan or Ye Feng, they will all become history."

"Yan Gang, Tian Kai!"

"The general is here!"

"You two will lead 5,000 white horses as the vanguard, follow me into the city, go straight to the Zhenbei Mansion, and kill Ye Feng."

"Tian Yu, Zhao Kuo, each of you leads an elite force to occupy the fortress in the city and block the enemy camp. If possible, release the Wuhuan people to create chaos and make it difficult for them to take care of both ends. By the time we kill Ye Feng, everything will be settled."

Yan Gang, Tian Kai, Zhao Kuo and others all clasped their fists and accepted the order, but Tian Yu still had a hesitant look on his face.

"Tian Yu, Tian Yu, do you have any questions?"

Tian Yu knelt on the ground and said: "A general should not charge into battle, but should take charge of the army and sit firmly in the center."

"Therefore, my lord, it is not appropriate for you to join forces with Bai Ma Cong Yi to surround and kill Ye Feng."

"Ye Feng has the ability to become a celestial general. Who knows if he will counterattack before his death? If the lord is hit, the situation will be hard to control!"

Gongsun Zan waved his hand and smiled, "I have the Heaven-Slaying Battle Formation to bless me. My combat power is close to that of a mid-level Heavenly General. Why should I be afraid of a yellow-haired boy like Ye Feng?"

"If I act together with Bai Ma Cong Yi, who can kill me?"

"The world is so big, where can't we go?"

Tian Yu wanted to persuade him again, but Yan Gang and Tian Kai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Tian Yu, others doubt the fighting power of Bai Ma Cong Yi and the Heaven-killing Battle Formation, but you shouldn't doubt it!"

"Do you think Ye Feng can pose a threat to the lord who is under the blessing of the Heaven-Slaying Battle Formation?"

Tian Yu shook his head: "My Lord, it's mainly Ye Feng."

Gongsun Zan stood proudly and mounted his horse: "Don't worry about me. You may also encounter the Heavenly Generals under Ye Feng's command. Don't charge in front. Use the Heaven-killing Battle Formation to deal with them. Although you cannot kill the Heavenly Generals, you can delay their attack. Wait for my good news!"

"Let's go!"

After saying this, he spurred his horse and set off, with five thousand white horses following closely behind him.

The five thousand white horses were not moving very fast, and the horses' hooves were already wrapped with cotton cloth, so the noise was not loud.

Under the cover of pitch-black night, they slowly approached the city gate.

As it got closer, Gongsun Zan, Tian Kai, Yan Gang and others at the front also held their breath and felt nervous.

When he saw the city gate wide open, Yan Gang almost shouted out excitedly: "My lord, the gate is open, there is no fraud!"

"Mr. Tian Yu is worrying too much!"

Gongsun Zan was completely relieved, and his fighting spirit burst out completely, revealing his mid-stage strength: "No matter how brave and wise Ye Feng is, he will still make mistakes."

"Today I will tell him that one mistake is fatal and he will never have a chance to make a comeback!"

"Follow me into the city!"

"Remember, don't disturb the people, kill Ye Feng first!"

"Walk!!"

"Go to Fanyang and capture Ye Feng alive!"

"kill!!"

As the roars rang out, five thousand white horses rushed into the city from Yi. Behind them, the fifty thousand Youzhou soldiers led by Tian Yu and Zhao Kuo also howled, with fighting spirit in their eyes and followed closely with murderous intent.

In an instant, the entire Fanyang City was in motion, roaring, fighting, and resounding throughout the world.
