"Attack!"

With Zhang Xiu's order, the army located at the south gate and the east gate immediately launched a fierce attack on Yangzhai City, and the army swarmed up, like dense ants, and the soldiers were also like chicken blood, excited, fearless of death, and courageous.

Especially at the East Gate, Hu Che'er led elite soldiers and launched the most fierce attack on the East Gate.

And here at the south gate, Yang Xiu personally commanded, and the troops were hiding in the urn city, looking at the swarming soldiers, he was always ready, waiting for the enemy to approach, and then set fire to the enemy again.

This time, Zhang Xiu also became extremely cautious, although the army swarmed in, but stopped outside the city wall, and the soldiers were secretly observing every move in the urn city.

A moment later, a procession of 500 men officially stepped into the south gate, and there was still a smell of burnt paste at the gate, as if it had been burned into black charcoal.

However, these five hundred people were lower than Yang Xiu's expectations, in his opinion, the enemy army should all pour in, but what he saw was indeed only five hundred people, and they were all soldiers holding shields and advancing cautiously.

If it was set on fire, five hundred people would not be challenging at all, and it would also startle the snakes, so Yang Xiu could only order the archers on the walls of the city to shoot.

Urn City, as its name suggests, is like an urn, firmly blocked in front of the main gate of Yangzhai City, is the only way to enter and exit the city, as a purpose to strengthen defense.

Yang Xiu retreated to the Urn City with his army, but there were still many archers standing on the walls of the Urn City. They borrowed the bunkers of the city walls to avoid the arrows fired from the city, and they were condescending to play a great advantage in defending the city.

With Yang Xiu's order, the archers shot arrows from the walls of the urn city one after another, shooting and killing the enemy troops in the urn city.

But the five hundred soldiers, as if they knew that someone would shoot at them, and with a loud roar, the soldiers raised their shields in unison, and then side by side. An extremely tight shield wall was formed.

Five hundred. Curled up in a ball, there were shields in front and behind, left and right for defense, and even above them, they were covered by shields. Blocked all the arrows they fired. Moreover. The five hundred men were approaching the gates at a turtle speed.

Yang Xiu saw that this turtle formation composed of shields slowly moved towards the city gate, blocking all the arrows outside, and the defense was impenetrable. Immediately stopped the archers' attacks, even if they waste a lot of arrows, they may not be able to shoot through those shield walls, it is better to wait and see what happens, and when the turtle array moves to the city gate, and then use the boulder to smash it down, I believe it is more lethal than arrows.

The turtle formation moved forward slowly, and the person at the front opened a gap, glanced at the distance from the city gate, and also glanced at the movement of the defenders on the city tower, and saw that the defenders no longer fired, so they boldly stepped forward.

When they were about to reach the city gate, the turtle formation suddenly stopped, and the shield wall also removed a corner, and I saw twenty soldiers running out of the turtle formation, each of them carrying two things similar to wine jars in their hands, and ran forward as fast as they could, and then threw the things in their hands towards the city gate.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

There was a series of crackling sounds, and forty clay pots slammed into the city gate, shattering in an instant, and then streams of liquid flowed out of it, making the city gate all over the place.

After the soldiers finished shooting, they returned to the turtle formation as quickly as possible, and then the arrows shot were still a step slower, and they all fell to the ground, and those soldiers all entered the turtle formation intact.

At the same time, countless arrows with sparks from outside the city walls shot towards the city, overwhelming the sky like sparks in the sky.

When Yang Xiu saw this scene, he immediately frowned and shouted, "It's not good, it's not good!" ”

Yang Xiu's words were still swirling in the air, and the starfire in the sky flew towards this side, and many arrows fell at the city gate, and as soon as the firelight and those liquids came into contact, they quickly burned, and immediately formed a sea of fire, and the fire climbed up to the city gate, burning mercilessly.

It turned out that this was Zhang Xiu's strategy, he had just landed on it, but he also saw a glimmer of hope, and thought of attacking with fire to burn the city gate, and after the city gate was burned, then his army could drive straight into the city gate and charge with cavalry, who was his opponent in the city?

The flames rushed upward, and the billowing smoke from the burning of the city gate also rose into the sky, directly giving rise to the choking cough of Yang Xiu and the others who were directly above the city gate.

"Ahem, ahem...... Oops......" After Yang Xiu realized the enemy's intentions, it was already too late, the fire sealed the entire city gate, and the heat wave was coming, he never expected that Zhang Xiu would actually give him this trick, this is a tooth for a tooth.

At the same time, a soldier covered in blood ran over from the east gate, and when he saw Yang Xiu, he immediately said: "Lord Taishou, the enemy army is attacking too fiercely at the east gate, and we can't resist it......"

"If you can't stop it, you must block it, don't let the enemy army attack the city, otherwise, all the people in the city will die!" Yang Xiudao.

Yang Xiu immediately made a decision, and immediately sent people to transfer the soldiers guarding the west gate to increase the defense of the east gate, and let the people in the city rush to the east gate and the south gate to defend the army, preparing to start a life-and-death battle with the enemy at the city gate.

On the other hand, Yang Xiu was anxious, if the reinforcements didn't come again, then Yang Zhai City would be really in danger.

Zhang Xiu, who was outside the city, was full of joy when he saw that the city gate was on fire, and transferred two thousand cavalry from behind, and when the city gate was destroyed by fire, he immediately rushed in.

Time passed minute by minute, Yang Zhai City was in great danger, under Yang Xiu's order, the soldiers guarding the west gate quickly rushed to the east gate to support. But no one expected that as soon as the soldiers of Ximen withdrew, a large number of enemy troops appeared outside Ximen, and they launched a strong attack on Ximen.

The defenders of the West Gate were weak, with only one hundred and two men left, and they were simply unable to resist in the face of the onslaught of thousands of enemy troops. The person in charge of guarding the gate immediately sent someone to inform Yang Xiu and pray for support.

When Yang Xiuzhi said that Ximen was also under attack by the enemy, he suddenly felt that Zhang Xiu was too insidious, and he didn't expect to give him a sound to attack the west.

But now the east gate is under the onslaught of the enemy, and the south gate is about to be attacked fiercely, there is no army to send, and the anxious Yang Xiu is also in a cold sweat, looking up at the sky, and shouting loudly: "Is the sky going to kill my Yang Zhai?" ”

"Boom!"

At that moment, there was a loud noise from the west gate. Yang Xiuzhi said. This is the West Gate was broken by the enemy, imagine how long can only 200 soldiers hold on?

The gates of the West City were lost, and the enemy army poured into the city like a tidal wave. But they were attacked by the people who had gathered near the west gate. The people were each armed with a weapon. Engaged in a desperate struggle with the enemy, not giving up an inch of land.

But how could these civilians be the opponents of this well-trained army? In front of this group of soldiers of the enemy army, it was simply a plate of scattered sand, and it was not vulnerable at all.

Sure enough, it only took half a pillar of incense for the enemy to break through the defenses of these people, slaughter them all, rush into the city, and begin to burn and loot.

For a time, the smoke and dust on the west side of Yangzhai City were billowing out, the screams were endless, and the unarmed people were pouring towards the east of the city, even the people hiding at home would be kicked open by the enemy, carrying bloody butcher knives to kill, and all the valuable things in the house were looted.

At the same time, the east gate was also lost because it could not withstand Hu Che'er's fierce attack, Hu Che'er led his subordinates to rush to the front of the team, and all those who resisted him were all killed by a knife, and thousands of soldiers behind him were even more excited to rush into the city.

And at this moment, here at the south gate, Zhang Xiu is also ready to attack, although the fire at the city gate has not been extinguished, but the city gate has been completely burned down, Zhang Xiu can't take care of so much, ready to attack forcibly, he has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Zhang Xiu was armed with an iron spear, riding a high-headed horse, wearing an iron helmet, wearing iron armor, and a energetic posture, just as he was about to give the order to attack, there was a commotion behind the army, ghosts and wolves howled, and the screams were endless.

Zhang Xiu hurriedly glanced back, but saw that an army of thousands of people appeared behind him, and a "King Chen" Daxu appeared in front of him, and below the Daxu was a middle-aged man wearing a silver helmet, wearing silver armor, and holding a spear, and was leading more than 500 cavalry under his subordinates to launch a fierce attack on Zhang Xiu's rear army, and thousands of infantry followed closely behind.

Who "King Chen" is, Zhang Xiu is not very clear at all, because the Han Dynasty has divided many kings, how can he figure out who is King Chen. But one thing Zhang Xiu knows better than anyone else is that this army under the banner of "King Chen" is attacking his army, which also shows that "King Chen" is hostile to him.

"King Chen" is Liu Chong, one of the rarer princes in the Eastern Han Dynasty. As soon as Liu Pet received Yang Xiu's signal for help, he immediately ordered his soldiers and horses to rush over, day and night, without sleep. It was supposed to arrive yesterday, but the trip was delayed due to the sudden snowstorm, so it was delayed until this time.

Liu Pet is a relative of the Han family and one of the princes who are attached to Zhang Yan, Liu Pet initially thought about revitalizing the Han family, but with the continuous disputes between the princes, the annexation of each other, and the weakness of the Han court, he completely lost confidence in the Han family. And Liu Pet is more reverent of fate, he once found someone to tell his fortune, and asked the fortune teller about the future of the Han Dynasty, and the Taoist priest told Liu Pet that the Han family would be tilted, and he was unable to save, and let Liu Pet follow the trend and keep pace with the times.

Therefore, Liu Pet was attached to Zhang Yan, who was stronger later, and was loyal to him, and was also very loved by Zhang Yan, and invited Liu Pet to Pengcheng for a party every year, because of the same age, the two also became friends, and there were endless topics.

For Liu Chong, Zhang Yan is the most thoughtful person he has ever seen, and in this reform, Liu Chong is one of the very few princes and nobles of the Han family who support Zhang Yan.

Liu Chong's reinforcements arrived, just in time before the fall of Yangzhai City, and launched an attack from behind Zhang Xiu's army.

At the same time, outside the west gate of Yangzhai City, there was also an army, this army came from Henan, it was sent by Zhang Hong to support Yang Xiu, and the person who led this army was Wei Xu, one of the eight strong generals under Lu Bu's account, and Lu Bu's brother-in-law. After Lü Bu's death, Wei Xu, along with Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Cao Xing, surrendered to Zhang Yan and became a general under Zhang Yan.

However, Wei Xu didn't have the ability of Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, nor did he have archery like Cao Xing, all he had to do was to protect Lu Bu's family, so after returning to Zhang Yan, he didn't go to war much, didn't make any contributions, and didn't make any mistakes, everything was so plain, and the plain was almost forgotten, and he was stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass.

Wei Xu is the only decent general under Zhang Hong, because of the particularity of Henan, there are not many soldiers in Henan, Zhang Hong learned that Yang Xiu was attacked, so he sent all the only troops to Wei Xu, and let Wei Xu bring the army to Yangzhai City to support.

And Wei Xu came not early or late, just right, although the enemy army had already entered the city, Wei Xu appeared behind the enemy army and covered the past from behind...... (To be continued......)
