On the fifth day of the sixth month, the night was exceptionally silent, and a bright moon hung in the night sky, shining on the earth with its pure light.

The earth was shrouded in a layer of gray and looked foggy.

Inside and outside Yecheng, it was also very quiet, and the soldiers in the city were quietly waiting, waiting for the arrival of Cao Cao's army.

And outside Yecheng City, Cao Cao was also closely watching every move in Yecheng.

When it was ugly, the moonlight in the night sky was obscured by a dark cloud, and the earth became dark, and the visibility was extremely low, and it was still darkness that could be seen except darkness.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, such a night is an extraordinary night, and tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Outside Yecheng City, groups of black shadows, taking advantage of the rich night and endless darkness, began to slowly approach the moat of Yecheng.

At three o'clock, according to the agreement, the city tower should be held with fire as a sign.

Cao Cao, who was in the dark, had been paying close attention to the movements on the city tower, and it didn't take long for a person on the city tower to hold a lantern and make a code of three long and two short.

At this time, the drawbridge was lowered, the city gate slowly opened, and a group of people rushed out of the city gate with torches, waving into the darkness.

Because it was not clear which direction Cao Cao was attacking from, Zhang Yan and Jia Xu did not hesitate to spend time to probe and let the four city gates open at the same time, and at the same time perform the agreed haode task, as long as one of the city gates is in trouble, then the rest of the city gates can be closed.

However, what Zhang Yan and Jia Xu didn't expect was that Cao Jun actually appeared at the four city gates at the same time. Crowds of people drove out of the darkness. In a man dressed in gold armor. Led by a knight wearing a golden helmet, he rushed directly into the city.

Of course, Zhang Yan and Jia Xu, who were sitting in the government, did not know about Cao Cao's abnormal behavior, but they would soon know.

The golden-armored knights of the four gates, with about two hundred soldiers, entered the gates from the darkness, and as soon as they entered the city, these people suddenly attacked. Raising the blade in his hand, he went to kill the soldiers who opened the city gate and let them into the city, and after killing the soldiers in the doorway, they immediately divided into three ways, all the way to the gate of the urn city under the leadership of the golden armor knight, and the other two teams rushed up the city tower from the stairs respectively.

These people were indiscriminate and killed people when they saw them, which immediately caused a disturbance.

The defenders were taken by surprise and killed. There were a lot of soldiers lost, and even the guards didn't figure out what the situation was. But in the face of the fierce attack of the enemy, the guards of the four gates gave the order to attack.

But at this moment, many of the soldiers who rushed in took out the fire fold, and then ripped off their clothes, revealing a thunderbolt fire thunder tied to him, and the fire fold was aimed at the thunderbolt fire thunder, and the thunderbolt exploded immediately.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Boom ......"

The sound of explosions sounded at all city gates almost at the same time, and the huge explosion sound was particularly harsh in this quiet night, which made Zhang Yan and Jia Xu, who were far away in the city, listen carefully, like a thunder on the ground, deafening.

In the mansion, Zhang Yan heard the explosions coming from all directions, he was taken aback, and said in confusion: "What's the matter?" How could four city gates explode at the same time? ”

Even Jia Xu was confused, and when he heard Zhang Yan's question, he couldn't answer why.

Zhang Yan couldn't sit still, and immediately strode towards the outside of the hall, wanting to ride a war horse to the various city gates to find out.

However, as soon as Zhang Yan came out of the hall, he collided with the four panicked scouts, and hurriedly asked, "What was the explosion just now?" ”

The four scouts told Zhang Yan about the situation near the city gate, and Zhang Yan then knew that the four city gates were attacked at the same time, and the explosion was made by the enemy, and the enemy army seemed to have obtained this weapon of exhausting thunderbolts.

Not only that, but even the gates of the urn city were blown open. And at the moment when the gate of the urn city exploded, thousands of Cao troops emerged from the darkness outside the city and rushed directly into the city through the drawbridge.

And now, the four generals Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, and Gan Ning are actively leading the army to encircle and intercept, but it is unknown where Cao Cao is.

The development of things exceeded Zhang Yan and Jia Xu's expectations, Cao Cao had a weapon like a thunderbolt, which made Zhang Yan feel a headache, he didn't expect that what he invented would be used by the enemy so quickly, and in turn used against himself.

Zhang Yan couldn't laugh or cry, but in the face of the current situation, Zhang Yan must remain calm.

Cao Jun broke into the four city gates, which shows that Cao Cao did not believe Cao Hong's words at all, and may have planned that he already knew about Cao Hong's fraudulent surrender and imprisoned him Cao Hong.

And after the Cao army broke through the city gate, it did not entangle with the defenders near the city gate, but quickly entered the city, how many people came in, it is impossible to count, what is the purpose of the Cao army?

Jia Xu frowned, looking thoughtful, and suddenly, he shouted: "It's not good, we were fooled!" ”

Zhang Yan hurriedly asked, "Strategist, what did you say?" ”

"We were fooled, Cao Cao's purpose in doing this was to deceive the defenders stationed at the city gate, if I guessed correctly, at this moment, Cao Cao's army has just entered the city from the Xuanwu Gate!" Jia Xu said, "The lord should immediately support the Xuanwu Sect, otherwise, General Gan Ning will be in danger!" ”

Zhang Yan was also at a loss, after hearing Jia Xu's words, he did not hesitate, and immediately said to Gao Shun who was standing in the hall: "Immediately order the soldiers and horses, leave two thousand people to guard the palace, and the rest of the people all support the Xuanwu Gate." ”

"Whoa!" Gao complied, clenched his fists and left the hall.

Zhang Yan asked people to bring the dark cloud snow horse, and after jumping on the horse, he said to Jia Xu: "The annoying military division sits in the command of the government office, and I will go to Xuanwumen with Gao Shun to support!" ”

"Be careful, regent!" Jia Xu knew that once Zhang Yan decided, it would be difficult to change it, although he was very worried about Zhang Yan's safety, he couldn't dissuade him, so he could only remind him with words.

Zhang Yan nodded, rode his horse out of the palace, and together with Gao Shun, took eight thousand soldiers to the Xuanwu Gate in the north.

At this moment, the battle in the area of Xuanwumen was fierce, and the army led by Gan Ning was being attacked by Cao's army.

The development of things, just as Jia Xu expected, Cao Cao used two hundred people who dared to die to blow up the gates of the urn city, and an army of about a thousand people suddenly rushed in from outside the city, when the defenders were still in the chaos of a sudden attack, and were broken through the defense line by these thousand people, but because the sky was dark, it was impossible to identify how many people rushed over, and General Gan Ning was worried that this was a team directly towards Zhang Yan, so he ordered the army to pursue.

Unexpectedly, Gan Ning here just ordered the pursuit, and not long after running out with people, Cao Cao's army over there came in from the Xuanwu Gate.

Cao Cao's generals Jiang Qi and Yin Kai took the lead, taking the lead, rushing into the Xuanwu Gate on the left and right, and then directly killed the urn city, and successfully captured the urn city, while Cao Cao led the army to occupy the Xuanwu Gate, and commanded the army to attack the back of Gan Ning, and the Cao army in front of Gan Ning suddenly turned around and killed, causing Gan Ning to fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on his back.

Among them, Cao Cao's soldiers threw a thunderbolt into the crowd of the Han army from time to time, killing and injuring a person, which made the Han army panic.

The invention of the thunderbolt was originally used against the enemy, but it never thought that it would be used by the enemy against them.

Zhang Yan and Gao Shun led the army to kill, along the Xuanwu Avenue all the way forward to kill, Gao Shun was brave and incomparable, took the lead, with a group of elite soldiers, directly from the back of the Cao army that attacked Gan Ning, the knife fell, and the fresh human heads rolled to the ground, for a time the blood flowed into a river, the corpses were all over the field, and a thousand Cao soldiers were killed almost half of them by Gao Shun's charge.

Zhang Yan no longer charged, but began to command the army, and sent his troops to kill Cao's army in an arc.

Gao Shun charged into battle very powerfully, the Cao army killed did not leave a piece of armor, the last time he attacked the city, he served as an auxiliary attack, there was no such a happy killing, this time he must kill enough, and the people he killed were all subordinates of the enemy Cao Cao, which aroused his anger even more.

With a stick of incense, Gao Shun solved the thousand-man Cao army that rushed into the city, and Gan Ning's pressure was suddenly reduced a lot, and he received the support of reinforcements, so he wholeheartedly faced Cao Cao.

Gan Ning's arrow wound on his left arm did not heal, but it did not affect his combat ability at all, carrying a steel knife in one hand, confronting Cao Cao head-on, and killing Cao Bing crying for his father and mother.

Gao Shun also came to fight side by side with Gan Ning, and the two of them were like two tigers descending the mountain, and the soldiers of the Cao army who were killed retreated step by step.

Jiang Qi and Yin Kai's charge was blocked, and their force was not as good as Gao Shun and Gan Ning, so they retreated while fighting, and soon retreated to the vicinity of Wengcheng.

At this time, Cao Cao, who occupied the urn city, commanded the soldiers on the city tower to shoot and stop the direction of Gao Shun and Gan Ning's advance.

The arrows on the city tower rained down, shooting and killing many soldiers, Gao Shun and Gan Ning stared dryly, but they couldn't rush over, and they couldn't help but be annoyed and angry.

"Fuck, get out!" Gan Ning shouted, pulled his legs and rushed towards the gate of the urn city, braving the dense arrows that fell from the city tower, he walked like a fly, and from time to time waved his weapon to block the arrows.

As the saying goes, the brave are fearless, and Gan Ning's fearlessness made Gao Shun admire it very much, and at the same time sweated for Gan Ning.

So, Gao Shun also shouted, and with the soldiers behind him, he braved the rain of arrows to kill the urn city.

At the same time, Zhang Yan commanded the archers to shoot arrows at the tower of the urn city, covering Gan Ning, Gao Shun and others to counterattack the urn city. (To be continued......)
