When the fire burned, Huangfu Song was still hesitating, whether to advance or retreat, now he has entered the North Palace, the guards of the South Palace are tenacious, if he delays a little time, then what awaits him is the fate of the Nine Clans.

At this time, Cheng Peng, who was guarding the arsenal, felt that something was wrong at this time, originally those chaotic soldiers came to attack the arsenal, and they were easily beaten down, seeing that the chaotic soldiers had left, he thought that he could rest for a while, but at this time it suddenly caught fire!

"Ahem", the flames burned bigger and bigger, and the north wind blew, enveloping the arsenal as well. Fire and water are ruthless, even if there are several wells in the arsenal, how can they resist the power of Zhu Rong's rage? Smoke was blown by the wind, mixed with black particles of high temperature. Many of the soldiers guarding the wall were smoked down, and the rest of the people did not dare to stand on it anymore and withdrew.

At this time, Guo Tu covered his mouth and nose with wet clothes, rushed to Cheng Peng's side, and said loudly: "The fire is too big, we have to withdraw first!" ”

At this time, suddenly, there were flames in all directions, the arsenal here is like a huge oven, although there is no fire yet, but the armor on the soldiers' bodies has become hot, if it is not supported by a few wells, I am afraid that someone has already been roasted, the war horse is more delicate than the person, the soldier can still support, but the horses are so frightened that they keep jumping and neighing in place.

Seeing that the flames outside were getting brighter and brighter, Cheng Peng also gritted his teeth at this time and said, "Don't keep it, call everyone to come with me!" ”

The gate had been smashed open, and the abandoned carts of the rebels were still parked at the door, but the attacking soldiers were gone, and they ordered someone to push away the equipment at the door and clear a road, and then Guo Tu rushed out first.

On horseback, Guo Tu shouted loudly at this time: "Which way are we going?" ”

Cheng Peng looked up at the fire in the sky at this time, reined in the war horse, pointed to the west with his halberd, and said, "Let's go to the North Palace!" ”

"What?"

Guo Tu knew that Cheng Peng, the former leader of the Yellow Turban, was a bold man, but he didn't know that he would take risks at this time, "We only have such a few people, isn't it looking for death to attack Beigong?" ”

Cheng Peng shouted on the horse: "What is the fear of the death of the eldest husband? Now is a good time to make contributions, don't you know that as long as you work hard, the princess will be for generations! ”

The soldiers behind him were unstable and ready to move because they were roasted by the fire, and they were all about to be roasted.

Seeing that the soldiers' mood was not very stable, Cheng Peng's eyes turned at this time, and he immediately changed his statement, and shouted loudly: "There are too many chaotic soldiers in the north and east, I'm afraid I can't rush through, the city gates are blocked, and there is a fire in the south, only by going to the west can we survive!" ”

This time, everyone basically had no choice, the restlessness in the queue was immediately much smaller, at this time Cheng Peng didn't dare to wait any longer, there were still thousands of people under him, but there were more than 1,000 elites at most, among them, there were more than 100 people who could fight desperately with him, and the remaining ones were some of the Yellow Turbans, some were the former defenders of Arsenal Town, and some were Luoyi City Guards, so many forces were combined, the ghost knows if these people would suddenly collapse, he slapped hard on the horse's buttocks, When he ran in the direction of the North Palace, Guo Tu hesitated for a moment, but he also followed with his horse.

In the smoke and firelight, a palace in the distance collapsed, and several screams were heard, and the army that was heading west was startled by the loud bang, and the queue suddenly became chaotic.

Guo Tu couldn't help but look back at this time, it was a warehouse of the arsenal that collapsed, fortunately they had come out, he swallowed hard, turned his head, and saw that on the street not far ahead, there were hundreds of infantry battalion soldiers rushing to this side, he said in horror: "General Cheng, there is an enemy in front!" ”

At this time, Cheng Peng was not afraid, and said loudly: "Gentlemen, there is a fire behind you, and you can only live if you move forward!" ”

As he spoke, he stood up on the stirrups, blushing and shouting, "Gentlemen, rush with me!" ”

The thousands of people and horses they rode were dizzy from the fire, and when they heard this, they immediately roared and rushed forward, although some of the people in the team wanted to run, but the flames behind them became more and more vigorous, so they could only draw their long swords and fight forward.

At this time, these people saw the fire in front of them, and they were already confused and frightened when they saw the fire in front of them, and they were rushed by Cheng Peng, and they were suddenly defeated and fled in all directions.

Dispersed the enemy army, Guo Tu was greatly relieved, looking back, at this time the fire is getting closer and closer, if it burns like this, this Luoyi may be burned to the ground, then their task is completed, although the task is to guard Luoyi, not to let Luoyi fall into the control of those careerists, but it can't be this result.

North Palace, under the corridor, Huangfu Song was also alarmed by the fire at this time, this kind of fire, has to be controlled by manpower, if the Taichang Temple is still established, at this time to organize a rain, it can be contained, but Luoyi has been in chaos for several days, and the people of Taichang Temple are afraid that they have long been missing.

"Report!"

A herald rushed in, knelt under the porch, and said loudly: "The enemy set fire to the palace, and at this time it is out of the arsenal, our soldiers and horses have been defeated, and the thieves are killing towards the North Palace!" ”

Huangfu Song asked about the number of people, and at this time he looked up at the fire in the east, and was a little shocked in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "It's just a poor mouse eating a cat, don't worry." ”

Before the words fell, another herald rushed in, knelt on the ground, and said breathlessly: "Jian Shuo has abandoned Taicang, has broken through Yongmen, and is killing here!" ”

The muscles on Huangfu Song's face trembled at this time, and he pretended to be calm, and said, "I have already sent someone to transfer troops, and I will definitely be able to block this eunuch!" ”

"Report!"

A herald appeared in the hall again, and Huangfu Song looked at him at this time and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The herald knelt on the ground and said: "Nangong White Tiger Gate is wide open, the enemy army has come out from inside, and our soldiers and horses have been attacked by thieves in front and back, and they are in a bitter battle!" ”

"What?" He Jin was shocked and angry, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "Traitor! Block the four doors now! ”

When he saw a fire burning in the northeast of Luoyi and saw a battle going on near Yongmen in the west, Zhang He keenly felt the opportunity to turn the tables at this time, and he immediately went down the city wall and ordered all the cavalry that could be drawn out to assemble near the White Tiger Gate.

The tun chief beside him reminded: "General, could it be a trick of the rebels?" ”

It's not surprising that both sides of the war now refer to each other as rebels, which is actually quite common, and both sides are also Han troops.

"Hey," Zhang He usually thinks a lot, but when it comes to the critical moment, he acts faster than he thinks, and he laughs and said: "If Huangfu Song is really so bold and willing to deceive me at the cost of burning half of the city, then even if we are deceived, what does it matter?" He will be exterminated by the Nine Clans after all. ”

He was in front of the more than 1,000 cavalrymen who had gathered in a hurry, and at this time he rode back and forth on a green horse, and said in a loud voice: "When the matter comes, you must be bold!" Win or lose, in this battle, you work hard! His Royal Highness has an order, and those who have made great achievements in this battle can be crowned marquis! ”

With that, he turned his horse's head and shouted at the city, "Open the door!" ”

"Squeak" sound, the vermilion copper-clad gate was opened, Zhang He rushed out at this time, he did not wait for all the cavalry behind him to follow, he took the lead to the place of battle, the white tiger gate is not far from Yongmen, when he arrived, thousands of soldiers were crowded in the wide street to fight.

Because they are all Han troops, everyone's equipment is very similar, whether it is armor, weapons, or even the tactics used, it seems to come out of a mold. The only thing that could tell them apart was the flags of both sides, and he watched on his horse for a while, distinguishing between friend and foe, and then immediately swung his spear and smould.

Under the banner of white characters on a yellow background, Jian Shuo rode on the back of a war horse, holding a halberd, shouting and fighting, originally held in Taicang, but at this time he was burned, he could only abandon Taicang, the arsenal is not so easy to burn, the grain and grass in Taicang, but the combustible, at this time, he immediately pressed the whole army, towards the rebels, such a desperate bet, not that he has any certainty of victory, but has decided to die in this city.

With such a fire, it is already obvious that a city will be burned, and if such a big city is burned, how can there be no one to bury it, Jian Shuo decided to come by himself.

He is the emperor's trusted servant, such as today's great funeral, he has never done a good job of the Son of Heaven's wishes, and there is no Son of Heaven to rely on, he is such a person, a pavilion chief can arrest him, even if he is excellent in martial arts, can he beat a few rangers?

If in the future, instead of being killed by unknown people in embarrassment, it is better to die in a vigorous battle!

With this belief, he ignored the arrows whistling in his ears, and kept moving the banner forward, even fighting with an enemy several times his size, but he also knew that this situation would not last long, and his soldiers only relied on a moment of blood and courage to fight, and when this breath dissipated, it was time for the soldiers to be defeated and killed.

Looking at the fire rising to the sky in the east, Jian Shuo was ready to burn himself, however, while the soldiers on both sides were fighting hard, the enemy's flag suddenly shook, and then fell.

Zhang He rode a thousand, split the crowd, rushed to the vicinity of the enemy general Yu She, picked up two enemies who guarded the flag, cut down the flag, Yu He was furious, and came to fight Zhang He with a gun, but was picked off by Zhang He with a shot.

At this time, Zhang Hezheng raised his arms and shouted: "The enemy general has been killed by me, and the army will fight with me!" ”

The enemy, who had been fighting with blood and energy, saw that the flag was cut down, and their morale immediately dropped to the freezing point, and they broke away from the battle line one after another, no longer paying attention to the shouts of the officers, but dragging their blades to the rear, although the cavalry trampled back and forth on the streets, but Luoyi is a big city in the world, and the streets in the city are extremely wide, and there is still a place for them to escape.

Jian Shuo saw the scene of Zhang He beheading the general and capturing the flag, he was stunned for a while, and then commanded the soldiers to rush over. The two sides converged together, the war horses circled each other, Zhang He glanced at this person at this time, but he didn't despise it, and asked directly: "Can the general still fight?" ”

Jian Shuo's chest was still aching, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!" ”

Zhang He pointed to the smoke and fire in the northeast direction at this time, and said: "Now that there is chaos in the city, all our achievements are maintained in this city, for the sake of the world, does the general dare to follow me to kill the thief?" ”

Jian Shuo glared angrily and shouted, "Why don't you dare? ”

Hearing this, Zhang He smiled slightly and said; "Then come with me!"

He followed the rear of the defeated enemy with his cavalry, while shooting the enemy behind with arrows, while driving the enemy in the direction of the North Palace, and when he arrived near the North Palace, the city gate had already been closed, and the defeated soldiers gathered under the palace wall, and were scolding, intending to let him run forward, Zhang He saw it at this time, tried to hit the horse and stepped forward, and shot an arrow towards the city.

A rout soldier was hit by an arrow in the back and screamed, the sound of bangs on the wall of the palace city, the bow and crossbow shot down the head and covered the face, and the arrows fell densely around him, Zhang He saw that there were many archers, so he didn't dare to stay under the city anymore and retreated.

Zhang He looked at the enemy's strong defense, but said to Jian Shuo with a smile: "Huangfu Song is also a hero in the world, but I don't know if he dares to fight with me." ”

Jian Shuo looked at the North Palace with the palace gate closed, and the armored soldiers all over the city wall, his face was full of bitterness, he sighed, and said, "It's already a blessing to be able to kill here, where can I hope for more?" ”

Jian Shuo said with a wry smile at this time: "General Zhang, I can see clearly in Taicang, there are a lot of enemy troops, but there are more than 10,000 people here in Beigong, and there are also this number scattered everywhere, plus those guarding the city gate, and those who respond outside the city, it is already a blessing for us to win a battle." ”

Zhang He laughed at this time: "Why should the general be so pessimistic, we Han people, fight to the death, survive in death, so that we can win, I am in the desert grassland, not to mention ten times the enemy, it is a hundred times the enemy, it is not that I have never met it, and now, it is I who has lived until now."

Huangfu Song was originally a celebrity in the world, but now he is a thief, he has lost his loyalty, and how much is he afraid? ”

After speaking, he shouted towards the head of Beigong City: "Hanping thief Zhonglang will Zhang He here, Zuo Zhonglang will dare to fight?" ”

Can you dare to fight?

This is the invitation of the fighting general, what kind of person is Zhang He? In the past, people with no name, even if they had some fame in Jizhou, but how could they get into the eyes of Huangfu Song, a big Han pillar, but now it is not, at least in the position, the difference between the two sides is not far away, and they are both two thousand stone Zhonglang generals.

Of course, one is really two thousand stones, the other is more than two thousand stones, Huangfu Song even has the opportunity to go one step further and become one of the nine kings in the middle of two thousand stones, which is much stronger than Zhang He, Zhang He's qualifications are too shallow, that is, with the one in the Northern Regions, he worked hard to advance before he was able to ascend to heaven, such a person, Huangfu Song He had seen it in his eyes.
