Zhang Yan stood on the city wall of Xiancheng and looked at it, but saw that the dense Yuan army soldiers swooped towards Xiancheng, and the Yuan army soldiers were like a black torrent, and the huge Xiancheng was like a flat boat in the sea.

Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Gao Shun, Gan Ning, Lu Meng and others were all around Zhang Yan, and they looked at Yuan Jun, who was running towards Xiancheng like layers of huge waves, all of them were gearing up there.

Zhang Yan closed the city gate, and even the 50,000 militia led by Bao Xun had already retreated three miles back last night to line up, and Xiancheng was a pillbox located on the front line, and at this moment, they would be under the onslaught of Yuan's army.

"Lord, let me fight!" Xu Chu couldn't bear it and said to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "It's not the time yet, don't worry, there will be a time for you to make contributions in a while!" ”

Outside Xiancheng, Zhang He and Gao Ran led the army in front, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Ma Yan, and Zhao led the army behind, and the 60,000 horse infantry troops all rushed towards Xiancheng as if they were crazy.

Rushing to the front is the cavalry team led by Zhang He and Gao Lan, most of these cavalry are Wen Chou's subordinates, Wen Chou died in battle yesterday, the hearts of the soldiers are full of hatred, once the war starts, they will rush out at a gallop, not only to avenge Wen Chou, but also to win a heavy reward.

The cavalry left the infantry behind them from a distance, Zhang He, Gao Ran and others rushed forward for hundreds of meters, and the four hooves of the war horse under the seat suddenly sank, and the originally flat land suddenly cracked a deep pit, and the cavalry was defenseless. They all fell into this deep pit.

Immediately afterward, there were heart-rending screams from under the pit, and all the cavalry who fell into the pit were heard. Either dead or wounded.

It turned out that this was a big trap, and at the bottom of the deep pit, there were dense sharpened wooden stakes, whether it was a person or a war horse, as long as they fell from a high altitude, they would definitely be pierced by these wooden stakes. They couldn't stop bleeding, they could only let out bursts of sorrow, waiting for their death.

Suddenly, a long, large crack cracked in the ground. The more than 2,000 cavalrymen who rushed ahead all fell into the deep pit, and under the deep pit was a trap, and anyone who fell into it. Basically, they will be stabbed to death.

But there are two exceptions. These two people are Zhang He and Gao Ran. They were all agile generals, and the moment the war horse suddenly fell, Zhang He and Gao Ran expected an extremely uneasy premonition, there must be a trap down there.

So, at the moment of lightning, Zhang He and Gao Ran, with their extraordinary skills, suddenly jumped forward and pulled out the short blade pinned to their waists. Pierced into the wall in front of him.

The walls are all mud and very soft. However, the short blade was very sharp, and it was inserted directly into the earth wall at once, only revealing a small handle, and the two of them dragged the short blade handle end that sank into the soil to prevent themselves from falling.

Zhang He and Gao Ran looked down at the bottom of the pit, but saw that more than 2,000 soldiers and horses had been pierced by wooden stakes, some had already been dead for a long time, and some were dying even if they were not dead.

The cavalry of the Yuan army, who hurriedly strangled the reins of their horses on the deep pit, saw such a thrilling scene, and their psychological side was secretly happy, and at the same time, they also had palpitations.

The cracks in the ground, like a wide moat, stretched out in all directions, forming a semicircle, just enveloping the Xiancheng Castle inside.

However, this semicircle is not infinite, and it does not extend to the northeast and northwest corners of the wall.

Seeing that their companions were so unworthy of death, the cavalrymen were indignant, split into two, and quickly rushed in both directions, preparing to go around to both sides and attack again.

As soon as the cavalry left, the infantry behind them followed, and when they saw the cavalry dead in the trap, their faces were stunned.

At this time, Zhang He and Gao Lan, who were lucky enough to not die, finally climbed to the ground with great effort, and as soon as they appeared, they saw the gate of Xiancheng slowly open, and a group of ironclad cavalry appeared in front of Yuan Jun again.

The ironclad cavalry rushed out of the city, and then divided into two, Zhao Yun on the left and Xu Chu on the right, respectively, lined up on both sides, blocked the road, and prevented the enemy soldiers from killing.

At the same time, Gan Ning and Lu Meng also led a hundred light cavalry each to kill, and after they left the city, they rushed forward directly and rushed towards Zhang He and Gao Ran, who had climbed to the ground.

Zhang He and Gao Ran were both panicked, the war horse under the seat was gone, and the weapon in their hands was only a short blade, seeing Gan Ning, Lu Meng and other two hundred cavalry rushing over, they could only fight back to back, side by side.

As soon as they slipped away, Gan Ning, Lu Meng and others galloped to the side of Zhang He and Gao Ran, and surrounded the two, but Gan Ning, Lu Meng and others did not attack Zhang He and Gao Ran, but looked at Zhang He and Gao Ran with fierce eyes.

Zhang He frowned, his face was pale, but his heart was up and down.

Gao Ran suddenly said: "Junyi, although you can't be born on the same day and month of the same year, but you can die on the same day and month of the same year, and it's not in vain for our brothers!" ”

Zhang He sneered, holding the short blade in his hand tightly, his eyes wandering around, if anyone wanted to rush over, he would be the first to kill him. He said to Gao Ran: "Fight, kill one is enough, kill two to earn one!" Before dying, you should also pull a few cushions. ”

"Okay, fight!" Gao Ran also has the determination to die.

Gan Ning stared at a pair of tiger eyes, and saw that although Zhang He and Gao Ran were a little panicked, they were not timid, and listening to them, they could also know that these two people were good men. He opened his mouth and said: "My lord has an order, if you surrender, you may be spared death, if you are obsessed, there will be no forgiveness!" ”

"There are only decapitated generals here, how can there be surrendered generals? If you want to kill, you will kill, if you want to chop, why be so wordy! Zhang He said sharply.

"Good! In that case, then don't blame me for being rude! ”

As soon as Gan Ning's voice fell, he immediately rode his horse and rushed towards Zhang He, and slashed at Zhang He with a big knife in his hand.

Zhang He hurriedly waved the short blade in his hand to block, only to hear a "click" sound, the short blade in Zhang He's hand was actually cut off by Gan Ning, and Gan Ning's calm and fierce strength was also transmitted through the big knife, shaking Zhang He's various parts holding the short blade to the point of numbness!

Zhang He's face was surprised, and before he could react, Gan Ning's big knife was on Zhang He's neck.

Seeing this, Gao Ran hurriedly waved his short blade to come to the rescue, and unexpectedly Lu Meng flew over, holding a steel knife, and slashed at Gao Ran. Gao Ran had to turn around and turn back, and the short blade that had just been raised above his head, as soon as it touched Lu Meng's steel knife, it also broke into two with a "click".

Lu Meng's steel knife fell and rested on Gao Lan's neck.

Zhang He and Gao Ran were both unconvinced for a while, if it weren't for the fact that the opponent's weapons were too sharp, they might not have lost if they really fought.

However, the matter has come to this point, and it is already too late to say anything, Zhang He and Gao Ran closed their eyes and said in unison: "Kill me!" ”

Gan Ning and Lu Meng suddenly removed the knives hanging on the necks of Zhang He and Gao Lan, and then eight soldiers with infinite strength rushed up, tied Zhang He and Gao Ran with ropes, and then threw them directly on the war horses, and were taken away by the two generals Gan Ning and Lu Meng.

In the whole process, there was only one cup of tea, and Zhang He and Gao Ran became prisoners.

Gan Ning and Lu Meng took Zhang He and Gao Lan, who were tied up by five flowers, and drove back to Xiancheng quickly, just when they met Gao Shun, who was gathering archers at the gate of the city, Gao Shun made way of a road and let Gan Ning, Lu Meng and others pass, and then he took 10,000 crossbowmen and crossed out of Xiancheng, scattered behind the iron chain horse formation, divided into two teams, and began to snipe enemy soldiers with arrows under the escort of shield soldiers.

The iron cable chain horse formation led by Zhao Yun and Xu Chu was lined up in two rows, with five hundred people in a row, just blocking the gap, and facing the Yuan cavalry who rushed over, it was a burst of killing.

The crossbowmen led by Gao Shun kept shooting the enemy soldiers with arrows, although there was an insurmountable pit blocking there, but it had no effect on the arrows.

The cavalry of the Yuan army suffered heavy losses, almost half of the nearly 10,000 cavalry who rushed over were killed, and the rest of the cavalry could not break through the defense line of Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, so they began to retreat, allowing the infantry who had just arrived here to go into battle and shoot at Zhang Yan's army.

Lü Kuang, Lü Xiang, Ma Yan, Zhao Zhao and others led the army to kill, and the dense Yuan army soldiers stopped and began to command the archers to shoot at the enemy.

Seeing this, Gao Shun immediately adjusted his formation, faced the enemy head-on, and engaged in fierce confrontation with the enemy.

For a time, arrows flew around in the sky above the deep pit, tens of thousands of arrows were like flying locusts, and people in the two armies continued to die, and in comparison, Yuan Shaojun, who was outnumbered, had the upper hand in the arrow array.

Although Gao Shun and the others were guarded by shield soldiers, their attack power was obviously insufficient, and they couldn't raise their heads when they were suppressed by the enemy's dense arrows, and screams kept sounding behind them.

Zhang Yan, who was standing on the city wall and commanding the battle of the whole army, saw the entire battlefield situation clearly, and the military advisor Jia Xu was standing by his side, and when he saw that Gao Shun and the others were suppressed by such a powerful arrow array of the Yuan army, he immediately said to Zhang Yan: "Lord, it's time to send troops!" ”

Zhang Yan nodded, turned his head and shouted to the Jinyi guard behind him: "Pass the order, the whole army will attack!" ”

With Zhang Yan's order, the standard-bearers on the tower of Xiancheng City began to wave the flag non-stop, waving the flag to inform the departments, and began to attack. (To be continued......)
