Zhang Yan's subordinates swept the blood stains at the gate of the city, dragged all the corpses outside the city and buried them, and then hid all the soldiers and horses in the county seat, quietly waiting for Yu Ban's arrival.

Two quarters of an hour later, Yu Ban and his subordinates came to the outside of Gaoping County, and saw that the lights on the city wall were flickering and dimming, a big flag with the word "Cao" was fluttering in the air, and a few sporadic Cao soldiers were patrolling on the city tower, so he asked people to call the door.

"The trapped-in lieutenant has arrived, quickly open the city gate!" The doorman shouted loudly to the castle tower.

The soldier in charge of patrolling on the castle tower pretended to glance out of the city, and immediately turned around and shouted: "Open the city gate and let the lieutenant enter the city!" ”

After a few moments, the city gate slowly opened, and Yu Ban rode forward, leading his men to prepare to enter the city.

He inadvertently glanced at the Cao soldiers guarding the city gate, and only then did he notice that these Cao soldiers were all burly and tall, and the Cao soldiers' clothes on them were obviously a little small.

In his impression, the people in charge of guarding the city gate were all scrawny people, and they were older, so why did they become strong young men at this time.

He hurriedly reined in his horses, and then saw that there were more than 30 soldiers in the door of the city gate, but the road facing the city gate was pitch black, and there was no light in the city.

At the same time, a faint smell of blood reached his nose, and he looked closely at the feet of the gatekeepers, only to see that the shoes they were wearing were stained with blood.

He frowned, but also kept a conscious eye, and shouted at the Cao soldier who was guarding the door: "Hey! What's the password for tonight? ”

That Cao Bing was stunned for a moment when Yu Ban asked this, and he couldn't answer.

"There is fraud in the city, retreat quickly!" Yu Ban suddenly turned his horse's head and shouted at his subordinates, and he himself rode his horse and galloped wildly, leaving the city gate in a puff of smoke.

Zhang Yan, who was hiding in the city gate, saw through Yu Ban's plan, and ordered the archers on the city tower to release arrows, while he himself rushed out of the city gate with his cavalry, shouting: "Capture the forbidden alive, reward a thousand gold!" ”

Yu Ban's subordinates rushed back all the way from Guangqi County, people were sleepy and tired, and they thought they could enter the city to rest for a while, but they never expected that Gaoping County had been captured by Xuzhou soldiers.

The Xuzhou soldiers on the city wall began to shoot arrows, and the dense arrows shot from the darkness to the Cao soldiers outside the city as if it was raining.

These Cao soldiers didn't react for a while, and they were shot a lot, either killed by an arrow or wounded by a shot, and screamed again and again for a while.

Zhang Yan rushed out of the city single-handedly, followed by the infantry, his horse was fast, and soon left the infantry behind, and rushed into the camp of Cao Bing alone, wherever the iron gun went, Cao Bing could not stop it.

"Boom!"

The school knife hand behind Zhang Yan quickly rushed over, using the shield in his hand to directly collide with Cao Bing, making a loud noise, and directly melee with Cao Bing.

Yu Ban was the first to leave the vicinity of the city gate, and ran to the front of the team in a puff of smoke, and then he reined in the horse and turned the horse's head.

He was amazed to see that Zhang Yan single-handedly rampaged in Cao Bing's camp, extremely brave, although he was encircled, he killed the place where he stood and stood up, and no one dared to approach the place beside him.

He tightened the iron spear in his hand, frowned, and immediately gathered the cavalry around him, preparing to rush over and capture Zhang Yan.

With a loud shout of "driving", Yu Ban rode his horse forward, took the lead, and rushed towards Zhang Yan with more than 100 cavalry that had just been assembled.

"Get out of the way!"

Yu Ban shouted violently, his voice was like thunder, and the Cao soldiers in front of him gave Yu Ban a way, and when he was about to rush in front of Zhang Yan, he raised his iron spear and stabbed at Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan picked up and killed a Cao soldier who came to attack, and when he saw Yu Forbidden Attacking, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, waved the iron spear, and forcefully swept away the iron spear that Yu Forbidden Attack came, and let out a buzzing sound of "Zheng".

Yu Ban fought Zhang Yan for the first time, he never thought that Zhang Yan's strength would be so great, if it weren't for the fact that he held the iron spear with both hands, he was almost knocked away by Zhang Yan's blade, and the tingling feeling came from the iron spear continuously, which shocked his hands and hurt his mouth.

"Hello Captain Yu!"

Zhang Yan's voice suddenly sounded in Yu Ban's ears, and the blood-stained crimson tip of the spear also stabbed head-on, straight to his throat. He hurriedly raised his iron spear to block and fought with Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan and Yu Ban raised their guns at the same time, and the sound of the collision of weapons continued to sound, and from time to time some sparks would splash out, and the battle continued.

When the two were fighting fiercely, the cavalry under Yu Ban's subordinates began to collide, and the Xuzhou soldiers suffered a little loss because there was no cavalry, but with the compensation of the archers on the city wall, they basically entered the stage of stalemate.

At this time, Mi Fang rode a war horse and galloped from the side with more than a thousand spearmen, formed a formation, and launched a special attack on the cavalry of the Cao army.

Rows of spears were as dense as a forest, and the spearmen waved the spears in their hands, stabbing the cavalry in the distance one by one, and for a while, more than half of the cavalry of the Cao army were killed and wounded, and they did not dare to approach the spear formation, and retreated one after another.

However, under the command of Mi Fang, the spear array did not mean to stop at all, but continued to attack forward, with the cooperation of the archers on the city wall, and under the cover of the school swordsmen, with the special spears in their hands, officially attacked the infantry of the Cao army.

Cao's infantry was far more dexterous than the cavalry, and the archers changed direction and began to shoot at the spear array, while the rest of the soldiers lowered their bodies to avoid the long spears and rushed directly into the spear formation.

At this time, the school swordsman in the Xuzhou soldiers appeared in time, half-squatting on the ground, holding a shield to block Cao Bing's attack, but using the blade in his other hand to slash, effectively blocking the close combat between Cao Bing and the spearman.

However, the arrows of Cao's archers could not be dodged, and more than a dozen spearmen were killed, and their positions were quickly replenished by those in the back.

Mi Fang even divided the dense spear formation into two, one attacking from the left and the other attacking from the right, both holding five-meter-long spears, rampage towards the Cao army, and after stabbing the enemy to death, he discarded the spear, pulled out the short blade worn in his waist, and engaged in close combat with the Cao soldiers.

Yu Ban was still fighting with Zhang Yan, but he was very passive, always in the defensive stage, blocking Zhang Yan's attack, but he had no power to fight back.

After he fought with Zhang Yan for more than a dozen rounds, he knew that he was not Zhang Yan's opponent, and with Zhang Yan's force, it was not impossible to stab or capture himself, but he didn't know that he was fighting in the next twenty or thirty moves, but Zhang Yan never made a killer, as if he was deliberately dragging himself.

He glanced at his subordinates beside him, more than half of the cavalry were killed and wounded, and they had been frightened by the spear array, and they had lost their courage, although the infantry was still fighting with the Xuzhou soldiers, but they were also slightly declining, and the Xuzhou soldiers were still pouring out of the city, trying to surround them all.

He frowned, and his heart was even more uneasy, if he continued like this, it would not take half an hour, and he would most likely be wiped out.

The Xuzhou soldiers suddenly occupied Gaoping City, which surprised him, and what surprised him even more was that he didn't expect Zhang Yan to appear here.

He used a little trick in Guangqi County before and repelled Zhang Yan, but he came back far before Zhang Yan, and he didn't stop along the way, weishenme Zhang Yan would go to Gaoping County before him?

He glanced at the war horse under Zhang Yan's seat, and when he saw that this horse was extraordinary, he guessed that this horse was a thousand miles horse, and other than that, he could no longer think of any answer that could relieve the doubts in his heart.

In addition, he also noticed that this time the troops commanded by Zhang Yan were all infantry, which also proved that these infantry were ambushed by Zhang Yan in advance, and when Cao Ren and Le Jin returned, they began to attack, and Zuihou captured Cao Ren and Le Jin.

Just as he was thinking hard, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the darkness, and the earth trembled.

After Zhang Yan heard this voice, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shouted at Yu Ban: "Captain Yu, my reinforcements have arrived, and you can't escape this time." I see that you are quite talented, and I can't bear to kill you, it's a pity that you follow Cao Cao, it's better to submit to me, I promise to make you famous all over the world! ”

Yu Ban snorted coldly, taking advantage of Zhang Yan's pride, he saw the opportunity, his marksmanship changed sharply, and he suddenly turned from defense to offense, and stabbed Zhang Yan in the heart with a shot.

Zhang Yan was careless for a moment and hurriedly returned the gun to block, but as soon as the tip of Yu Ban's gun reached his chest, he quickly pulled it back. He was taken aback, and hurriedly looked up, Yu Ban turned the horse's head and fled towards the crowd.

Zhang Yan smiled and said in his heart: "This Yu Ban, I didn't expect to be so cunning." ”

He immediately rode his horse in pursuit, waved the iron gun in his hand, and killed several Cao soldiers who stood in the way one after another.

While Yu Ban was fleeing, he looked behind him from time to time, and when he saw Zhang Yan chasing after him, he shouted loudly: "Stop him!" Stop him! ”

The subordinate soldiers rushed up one after another, blocking Zhang Yan's way, and Yu Ban was able to separate from Zhang Yan. He rode his horse to the cavalry, glanced around the battlefield, and saw that the northeast corner was not surrounded by Xuzhou soldiers, so he took only 200 cavalry and killed in the northeast.

Yu Ban took the lead, taking the lead, and the cavalry behind him were all brave, and there was no spear formation in this area, so he soon rushed out of a bloody road.

At the same time, Xu Sheng and Chen Ying arrived with cavalry, and saw that the Xuzhou soldiers were fighting with Cao Bing, and without saying a word, they immediately joined the battle circle.

The arrival of the cavalry immediately put Cao Bing into a desperate situation, the spearmen withdrew around, the archers stopped shooting arrows, afraid of injuring their own people, and the school knife men shuttled through the crowd, cooperating with the cavalry, and killed Cao Bing.

Zhang Yan killed all the Cao soldiers around him, and when he looked around, there was no trace of Yu Ban on the battlefield, and he was angry and ordered all the Cao soldiers to be killed.

A quarter of an hour later, the battle at the gate of Gaoping County was completely over, and Cao's army was wiped out except for Yu Ban and the 200 cavalry.

After the war, Zhang Yan put Mi Fang in charge of cleaning the battlefield and counting the number of enemies killed and damaged.

Half an hour later, Mi Fang reported to Zhang Yan a set of figures, this battle, more than 1,600 enemies were killed, more than 300 soldiers were killed, and more than 300 people were wounded.

Zhang Yan was quite satisfied with this figure, he ordered all the soldiers to rest in Gaoping County, and ordered Cao Ren to be strictly guarded and kept for later use.
