008 Fight to the Death
The general of the Cao Army, who rushed to the front, stared at Zhang Yan and shouted: "If I don't kill you today, I swear not to be a person!" ”
"Sure enough, it's Lejin!" When Zhang Yan heard the roar, he suddenly felt a burst of inexplicable joy in his heart, and he also secretly made up his mind that he must kill Lejin.
The two horses hedged against each other, and the two people on horseback quickly met each other, and Le Jin took the preemptive action, holding an iron gun, and stabbed directly at Zhang Yan's throat.
Seeing that Le Jin's move was fierce, Zhang Yan hurriedly waved the long knife in his hand and slashed at the iron spear that Le stabbed in.
The weapons collided, making a buzzing sound, and the iron spear suddenly received a heavy blow, deviated from its original trajectory, and slid past Zhang Yan's side.
Le Jin was taken aback, he didn't expect Zhang Yan's strength to be so great that he could miss his iron spear with one blow. At the same time, he could also deeply feel the liliang coming from the tip of the spear, which actually shook his hands holding the iron spear.
Seeing that the two war horses were about to meet, Zhang Yan saw the opportunity, suddenly turned around on the horse's back, and slashed the long knife that had been curled in his hand backwards.
Le Jin was taken aback again, and hurriedly pressed his body tightly against the horse's back.
"Whew-"
The blade swept past the iron helmet that Le Jin was wearing, and the fierce friction made a screeching sound. If it weren't for Le Jin's timely dodge, I'm afraid that this head would have been cut off by Zhang Yan.
In an instant, the two horses met and rushed into the enemy's cavalry, fighting with the enemy's cavalry.
As soon as Zhang Yan rushed into the cavalry group of the Cao army, brandished a long knife, and slashed at the neck of a Cao cavalryman, due to excessive force, the long knife was embedded directly in the body of the Cao cavalry from the shoulder, and it was stuck and could not be pulled out.
"Kill!" When the rest of Cao soldiers saw it, they all stabbed at Zhang Yan with spears.
Seeing this, Zhang Yan immediately gave up his intention to pull out the long knife, firmly grasped the saddle with both hands, and as soon as his body slipped, he came to hide in a kick, and directly got under the horse's belly, avoiding Cao Bing's attack.
The war horse galloped forward, and soon rushed out of the encirclement of Cao's cavalry, he sat on the horse again, took off the big bow tied to the horse's neck, drew three arrows from the quiver near the saddle, put them on the bowstring, pulled the bowstring, and shot the arrow out with one turn, and the three Cao soldiers fell to the ground from the horse with a scream.
Zhang Yan pulled the reins suddenly, and the galloping war horse suddenly stopped advancing, and its two front hooves were raised high, letting out a long neigh.
After the horse's front hooves landed, Zhang Yan turned the horse's head, stayed there, and shot Cao Bing with a bow and arrow.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"
One arrow after another shot at Cao Bing, one by one, Cao Bing was shot through the throat and fell off his horse.
At this time, the Danyang soldiers surrounded Le Jin, raised the blade in his hand and slashed at Le Jin.
Le Jin was not only not afraid, but became more and more excited, constantly dancing the iron gun in his hand, wherever the tip of the gun went, no one in Danyang could resist, and someone was stabbed off the horse by Le Jin one after another.
Zhang Yan stood in the distance and saw that Le Jin had killed more than a dozen Danyang soldiers in a very short period of time with his superb marksmanship.
"Whoosh!"
A feather arrow pierced the sky and flew towards Le Jin's heart.
Le Jin was fighting hard, but he was also watching Zhang Yan's every move closely, and when he saw Zhang Yan release a cold arrow towards him, he immediately lowered his body to avoid it, and the arrow flew over his head, directly shooting a Danyang soldier behind him off his horse.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he missed an arrow. He drew his bow and arrows again, this time, he still aimed at Le Jin, but he became relatively cautious, closely watching Le Jin's every move, and after seeing the right time, he shot an arrow, making sure to kill him with an arrow.
"Got, got, got, got......"
A series of chaotic horses' hooves sounded from behind Zhang Yan, and he hurriedly looked back, only to see hundreds of Cao cavalry coming here from the south of the city.
He hurriedly turned around and shot the arrow at the newly arrived Cao cavalry, and one of the cavalrymen who rushed to the front was pierced through the throat by him with an arrow, falling directly from his horse, and was trampled by the Cao cavalry rolling behind.
Zhang Yan shot two Cao soldiers in a row, and then was surrounded by the galloping Cao cavalry, he hurriedly hung the big bow near the horse, hurriedly drew the scabbard, blocked the attack of a Cao soldier, and then easily snatched a spear in the hand of the Cao soldier.
He held the weapon in his hand, and immediately swung it, the shadow of the spear was so large that people couldn't see the reality clearly, and wherever the spear went, Cao soldiers were stabbed to death by him one after another.
As the saying goes, one inch is long, one inch is strong.
Zhang Yan took advantage of the wide range of spear attacks, and was stunned to kill a piece of land in the Cao army with his own strength, and rode his horse to rampant in the Cao army, but everyone who came to stop died under his gun, and no one was invincible.
Soon, Zhang Yan relied on a spear to fight his way out, directly broke out of the encirclement of Cao's army, and joined his subordinates.
Hundreds of Cao soldiers rushed over, and Le Jin was fighting hard, when he suddenly saw the reinforcements arrive, he was full of confidence and became more and more courageous.
There were only more than thirty Danyang soldiers left around Zhang Yan, and in the face of the attack of hundreds of Cao soldiers, the pressure increased sharply. He saw that Le Jin was brave and Danyang soldiers did not seem to be opponents, so he rode to Le Jin's side and stabbed Le Jin coldly with a spear.
Le Jin's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly dodged the past, and at the same time turned the iron gun in his hand and stabbed Zhang Yan's heart with a shot.
But Zhang Yan is not a vegetarian, he set up a spear to block Le Jin's attack, the two of them raised their guns at the same time, you come and go, catch and kill, and fight endlessly.
Cao soldiers were numerous, and once they rushed over, they immediately showed an advantage, and more than a dozen Danyang soldiers died one after another, and the remaining Danyang soldiers were also powerless.
Seeing that the Danyang soldiers were about to be unable to resist, more than 100 Danyang soldiers suddenly rushed out from the north of the city, and immediately joined the battle and fought fiercely with the Cao army.
In Peicheng, the Danyang soldiers who were burning and killing heard the sound of fighting near the county office, and hurriedly rushed over from different directions in the city, and started a fierce battle with Cao Jun near the county office.
Although more than half of the Cao army died in this raid, the 1,000 Cao cavalry in the south of the city were unharmed, and when they heard that Lejin was surrounded by enemy troops, they ran out of the barracks and came to the rescue of Lejin.
After the scuffle began, people from both sides continued to join the melee.
Not long after, the vicinity of the county government was already crowded with people, shouts, screams, the sound of weapons colliding, and the neighing of war horses, all mixed together, and the sound was endless, making the vicinity of the county government a purgatory on earth.
The north wind of the hunt kept blowing, and the fire gradually spread to the south of the city with the help of the wind, and more and more houses in the city were swallowed by the fire dragon.
Soon, the fire spread to the vicinity of the county office, and the billowing smoke drifted south with the north wind, and the two sides that were fighting fiercely were suddenly shrouded in thick smoke, and the soldiers were so smoked that they couldn't open their eyes, and they were also choking and coughing.
The two armies immediately stopped fighting, and both involuntarily retreated to the south of the city, for fear of being buried in the fire.
In the panic, the two warring sides mixed together, and finally ran out of the smoke-shrouded area, and when the two sides opened their eyes, they saw the enemy, and they fought again.
Le Jin was once again surrounded by Zhang Yan and Danyang soldiers, an iron spear was stained with blood, and the battle armor on his body was also stained red with blood, and the whole person became a veritable bloody man.
Cao Bing saw that Le Jin was surrounded again, and they all came to the rescue desperately, they killed from the outside and inside, trying to rescue Le Jin.
But Lejin was entangled by Zhang Yan, and if he was slightly distracted, his life might be lost. After fighting with Zhang Yan for almost more than 20 moves, he has gradually fallen to the downside, and he was almost stabbed to death by Zhang Yan several times.
And Zhang Yan is more and more brave in battle, and the spear in his hand is more and more comfortable, and the kung fu on weapons he practiced when he was a mercenary killer in his early years comes in handy today, forcing Le Jin to have no power to fight back.
Le Jin never expected that under Tao Qian's account, there would be such a skilled general, and he couldn't help but look at Zhang Yan differently.
He knew that he was not Zhang Yan's opponent, and if he continued to fight, he was afraid that he would die here. He had an idea, and suddenly used a deadly attack, not only did not defend against Zhang Yan's attack, but instead stabbed three shots in a row towards Zhang Yan's vital point.
Zhang Yan was taken aback, he didn't expect Le Jin to break the jar and fall, although he could pierce Le Jin's body with one shot, but he was also very likely to be pierced by Le Jin, and it was very likely that both would lose at that time.
He didn't want to die yet, so he hurriedly unloaded the power of the attack, and the spear's attack ended in nothing, and he pulled it back to block Le Jin's attack.
However, Zhang Yan raised his spear to defend, but he didn't know that Le Jin's iron spear suddenly disappeared, and when it reacted, Le Jin had already relied on his own martial arts and used the iron gun to kill a bloody path and escape from his attack range, and it was too late to catch up with him.
"Intercept Lejin, don't let him run away!" Zhang Yan carried a spear and chased forward, but unfortunately there were people in front of him, blocking his path, and he could only watch Le Jin escape from his clutches.
When Danyang soldiers heard Zhang Yan's shout, they came to stop Lejin.
Le Jin held the heart of death, fought hard to kill the enemy, and the rest of the Cao soldiers fought bravely, with the cooperation of each other, they rushed to kill, and finally broke out of the siege and retreated towards the south gate of Peicheng.
Zhang Yan was furious when he saw Le Jin kill out of the encirclement, and ordered all the people to pursue him.
Under the protection of his personal entourage, Le Jin soon escaped from Peicheng, and in order to completely get rid of the pursuit of Zhang Yan and others, 200 Cao army cavalry volunteered to stay and blocked the city gate.
Zhang Yan took the Danyang soldiers, and after solving the two hundred Cao army cavalry blocking the city gate, after rushing out of the city gate, Le Jin had already disappeared.
The fire in Peicheng spread quickly, and the fire dragon ruthlessly engulfed everything in Peicheng, including the grain and grass of Cao Jun hoarded in the city, which was also burned in this fire.
At this time, the sky was bright, and the fire in Peicheng was soaring into the sky, and the raging fire was raging in the city with the help of the north wind, and the billowing smoke rose into the sky.
Zhang Yan and Danyang soldiers evacuated Peicheng and assembled in an open space two miles away from Peicheng, everyone's face with inexplicable excitement.
Under the command of Zhang Yan, this surprise attack on Peicheng caused Cao's army heavy losses, not only was all the grain and grass hoarded in the city burned, but even Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang was killed by Zhang Yan, while Le Jin only escaped with more than 200 remnants of the army, which was very embarrassing.
But if he didn't kill Le Jin and capture Cao Jun, Zhang Yan will inevitably have some regrets in his heart.
In the fierce battle with the Cao army near the county government, the three thousand Danyang soldiers brought by Zhang Yan were killed 351 people, due to the fierce battle at that time, the bodies of the fallen soldiers were trapped in the city, and the soldiers killed by the Cao army were engulfed in the fire, and it is estimated that they have already been scorched at this time.
Zhang Yan looked at the remaining more than 2,000 Danyang soldiers, whose bodies were either stained with blood or slightly injured, all of them were full of energy, and they were still immersed in the victory after the battle.
Cao's grain and grass were burned, and Le Jin would inevitably go to Pengcheng to inform Cao Cao, and if Cao Cao learned that the grain and grass had been burned, he would inevitably launch a fierce attack on Pengcheng to vent the anger in his heart.
After expecting this, Zhang Yan did not dare to hesitate, and immediately gave an order, left Peicheng with more than 2,000 Danyang soldiers, and began to withdraw to Pengcheng according to the original way he came.
