Capture East County (Part 3)
In the pitch-black night, a series of heart-stirring long drum beats suddenly resounded.
The long sounds pierced through the night, waking countless residents of Dongjun City from their pleasant dreams.
Xun Huo and Cheng Yu, both in the prefect's residence, woke up simultaneously, their eyes filled with astonishment.
This long sound was only made when enemy troops invaded, and their sharp minds instantly began to work at high speed.
A midnight enemy invasion suggested a few possibilities.
First, the remnants of the Yellow Turban bandits might have organized an attack on the city. Since Lord Cao Cao had gone to Xuzhou, taking most of the soldiers from Yan Province with him, this would be the perfect time for these bandits to take advantage of the situation.
Second, the Black Mountain bandits, fleeing from Jizhou into Yan Province, might be stirring up trouble to raid the city for food supplies.
