Peaceful Invasion (Wu Conquering Jian Ye)

[Lu Xun {Zeffy}]

OOC: A note, Zhi, that was Xun that was running towards the tower, not Jun. Jun is his father and he is currently going to link up with Sun Ce... Right about now.

IC: Bah, G2G. I'll update later.

[Tsuki (Ancient One)]

((Okay you guys are now confusing me about where everyone is...))

The peasants that were for the ideals of the Wu banner took Sun Ce's suggestion on board and retreated from the hail of rocks and debris. The men placed themselves between the attackers and the women and children in hope of protecting them before they eventually retreated themselves with only a few men remaining behind to watch over the squabble in hope of changing the minds of their friends and neighbours.

[Lu Xun {Zeffy}]

OOC: Zhou Yu, Zhi Fang, Lu Xun, and two minor guards are near the bell tower, trying to disarm (kill?) the guards there and disable the bell. This would make it so they cannot call for more guards to help stop the rebellion. Sun Ce is rallying the peasants up and slowly retreating, killing any guards in his way that aren't for Sun Jian. Lu Jun and ninety soldiers are searching for where Sun Ce is, and eight random guards of mine are roaming, searching for any supporters.

[Zhou Yu]

Zhou Yu sheathed his blade again and set off following close behind Lu Xun and his two men. They could already see the bell tower in the distance they would arrive in minutes.

"Watch my back my friend. I wont be able to defend myself while im setting the place on fire." Zhou Yu said to Zhi Fang. Along the way he had stopped once at the market stool and paid for a few pots of fish oil. He should be able to use that to achieve there objective. Although he hoped they would be able to get in unseen things rarely turned out to be that easy. His allies might have to hold them off for a little while.

As they approached the watch station Zhou Yu quickly saw where the bell was. It would be near the roof on a small tower that stuck out from the main building. There was quite a lot of activity near the station so getting close would not be hard. He lead the way threw the crowd approaching the rear of the building where as he expected there was a back door.

"I don't think knocking is a good idea, anyone good at this sort of thing." Zhou Yu by that meaning infiltration or just knocking doors down.

[Cao Cao]

"Leave it to me!!"As Zhi said this, he bent his right shoulder down a little bit and charged straight at the door. With great strength, the wooden door gave way to Zhi, leaving a big hole right in the middle of it. Zhi pulled out his sword and began to hack away at the hole until he made it large enough for Zhou Yu to get and himself inside. Zhi went inside first to check for any enemies, so far the coast ws clear. Zhi put his head out of the hole and said to Zhou Yu,"It is safe to come in Zhou, I do not see an enemies yet, though if there is any, tehy will most likely be on top of the tower.'Zhi waited for Zhou Yu to enter the building and lead the way up the tower.

[Sun Ce]

Ce had pulled nearly every innocent civilian whom would leave outside of the city, with this in place his royal guards began to slowly come out of hiding and fight off each of the minor City watchmen.
Ce had not wanted a full on battle, and was glad that the majority of the city was willing to become subordinate, this made things much easier than he had originally intended.
"If you still wish to join feel free, we are not here to create enemies, but to revolutionize this town, and keep you guys safe!"
Ce noticed a small boy, who looked to be only five due to his suprisingly small size, however his emblem read "Boyan" a style Ce knew all to well.

"Well say if it isnt the little decade old mastermind himself, Lu Xun Boyan, and without your father even, isnt it a little dangerous out here for you"

Ce had always favored Xun as a friend, although they held a severe age difference, Xun had matured more than a lot of Ce's friends, and was capable of more, and since Lu Jun was one of his fathers top advisors Ce would see Xun on nearly a daily basis, they would talk about war, and Sun Tzu, and other such philosiphers, something that Ce was not the best in verse at, however was capable.

Noticing a guard from behind Xun Ce pulled the knife from his boot and flung it forward, the man was just over the child, whom was holding a sword far to big for his own good. The knife pierced his armor and into his chest causing him to fall backward onto the ground, dead before Xun even had the chance to be scared.

Then again knowing Xun he probably would have just rolled out of the way, besides these guards were not providing a challenge as most of them had retreated somewhere, this was worrysome to Ce as he began looking for Lu Jun, assuming that with his son here, the advisor wouldnt be far behind.
His assumption was correct and he ran toward the man.
"Lu Jun, its nice to see you, like my work?"
Ce let out a boisterous and slightly arrogant laugh, one that was fairly deserved yet still a bit cocky
"Jun have you seen where these gaurds are taking refuge, i would love to be able to corner them before they have a chance to counter."

[Lu Xun {Zeffy}]

OOC: ... Lu Xun is with Zhou Yu and Zhi Fang.. But okay..?

IC: Lu Jun laughed as he met his friend Ce. He knew a fight such as this would not scare him, but make his blood pump even faster through his veins. Jun noticed several guards about to strike Ce but he stabbed the first with his halberd. With his foward momentum, the spear took the soldier, cutting through the armour and flesh, and into the second man, killing them both. He then took the spear, swung it around as to avoid hitting Ce, and disarmed the rest. He did not wish to kill, but it was his duty to protect his lord.

"There are too many soldiers here. We should either bring an army or retreat the people back to Wu. I shall hold them off, you stay with the peasants. I need to find my son, wherever he may be.." He gave Ce a shove into the direction of the gates and yelled aloud.

"Any who dare to harm innocent villagers are just pure evil! You shall not get past this gate, for I shall take you all in a fight! No one shall lay a scratch upon those villagers! Or my lord." He noticed it had little effect on the soldiers, but it was a good motivational speech for him. Jun was ready for anything.

---

Lu Xun could hear sounds of fighting, and one loud yell. Then there was silence, save for the guards around him shuffling around but not noticing him.

"Wait for me, Lord Zhou Yu and Master Zhi Fang!" The boy followed Yu and Zhi with his long dagger in hand, his two guards following.

[Tsuki (Ancient One)]

The city guards tried their best to annoy the Wu troops by attacking peasants and soldiers, they continued to stir up trouble among the peasants that decided to fight against Sun Ce and the other officers who had arrived in the city.

Some of the guards made it back to the main base where they brought out some of the city's better soldiers who swiftly rushed to join the increasing conflict.

[Zhou Yu]

"We need to act soon. I can see a lot more soliders moving in the streets. The villains are attacking there own people as well. Fools that will only prove we were right about there leaders and drive more people to our side." Zhou Yu said stepping threw the Zhi Fang shaped hole in the wall. If he had know the man was that good he would never need a battering ram again. So far it seemed there was no guards trying to stop them but that would not last long he was sure.

"Alright i figure we don't need to set the fire at the top of that tower we can set it at the bottom. Then the flames will climb and disable it anyway. Even if they ring the bells the guards will just take it as a sign to come put out the fire. Then we can make a clean get away with Sun Ce." Zhou Yu said stepping forward to the front still holding some cans of fish oil. He was sure the fire would not spread to any of the common peoples houses the watch station was a detached building for obvious security reasons.

He kicked open a door that lead to the bottom of the stairs leading up to the bell tower. He knocked his oil cans over the black fluid quickly spreading out across the floor. He grabbed a torch from the wall and threw it into the sticky mess. It went up with a whoosh and a sudden burst of heat. In minutes it would no doubt consume The tower and then the whole building.

"We better get out of here." Zhou Yu said stepping back wards. Just as a group of guards came rushing out a side room swords drawn. No doubt the smoke and fire would attract more people the longer they stayed before getting away.

[Lu Xun {Zeffy}]

Lu Xun aided Yu, if only slightly, in starting the fire. His two guards rushed forward to attack the other soldiers, defending their lord. Xun then followed Yu in his exit.

---

Lu Jun gave a loud battle cry as he fought dozens of troops. He was definitely in a battle rage, swooping and slashing with his halberd. His first priority was to protect his lord.

[Cao Cao]

Zhi saw the enemy troops and charged straight at them, sword flying. Zhi meet a troop with a spear head on. When the spearman did a foward lunge with his spear, Zhi twisted to the side and watched as the spear went by him. Zhi swung his sword with great power, aiming for the man's neck. The sword went straight through and Zhi quickly charged towards another enemy guard.

(Sorry for the short post, was in a hurry.)

[Sun Ce]

Rushing into the the scene was that of Dong Xi, whom had done as Ce commanded and brought his 100 Cavalry, followed quickly by 100 more royal guards, with Ce's best troops finally in play, as well as the hundreds of others he had available, it was time for things to get messy.

the Cavalry needed no introductions, they knew exactly where to go, and who to kill, meanwhile the royal guards were making their way through the crowds to find each of the high class generals, Zhi Fang, Lu Jun, Lu Xun, Dong Xi, Zhou Yu, and even Sun Ce would all be followed by roughly 12 guards, as per Ce's command.

This battle was one ce had hoped not to be forced into combat with, but if a fight is what these men wanted, then why deny them the priviledge.

[Zhou Yu]

OOC: Well i sorta wanted to put this off but there literally are no other mods that are active that are not in this thread or in Wu. So i don't see that iv got any other choice. I will NPC the government troops for the moment until someone else comes along who can.

IC: Quite a few of the city guard rushed toward there burning watch station to put out the fire. Others not sure if there was a problem or not did not rush to attack the Wu forces.

The governor however was getting worried and ordered his best commander to take out his troops and kill Sun Ce and his friends. Marching down from the palace they had orders to kill anyone who got in there way. Some of the men were clearly unhappy with these orders however.

[Lu Xun {Zeffy}]

Lu Xun noticed several guards trying to put out the flames. He looked at the group around him (Zhou Yu, Zhi Fang, and Xun's two guards).

"Well, Lord Yu and Fang, it seems that they've noticed us. I'd advise we get out of here and regroup with Lord Sun Ce and my father. They are sure to be fighting the enemy's soldiers. I think we can convince some of the enemy troops to lay down their weapons at least, if not fight for us. All of the soldiers can't be as heartless as their leader, to harm peasants and people who mean only good in this world." He and his two guards raced off in search of his father.

---

Jun managed to wipe the sweat from his brow as he downed half a dozen soldiers His lord Ce was approaching with two hundred strong behind him. He grinned and then spun his halberd around to hit the soldier behind him with the butt-end of the weapon. Jun did not like killing, and thought these soldiers were misguided. He noticed his troops were scattered about, fighting in small groups and in tight areas. Was the city this much trouble?

Jun would have to assume yes for now, as there were plenty of troops left within the city. He met up with Ce, catching a free horse and mounting it in one fluid motion.

"Lord Ce. We should move quickly and aim for the city center. That should be where the governor is, and if we take him down, the troops will lay down their arms. Tell your soldiers not to aim for kills if they do not have to, we may yet be able to encourage them to join our cause." He yelled loudly and charged off ahead towards the middle of the city. There was quite a large difference in the amount of soldiers here, a bad thing for Sun Jian's men.

[Cao Cao]

Zhi quickly killed another guard, pushing the dead body off of his blade. Zhi listend to Lu Xun and said to him,"I agree, let us go!!"Zhi quickly began to run with Lu Xun, keeping up with him as they went to go look for Sun Ce. Zhi hoped that Zhou Yu could keep up.

(Sorry, was in a rush.)
