In the darkness, a few torches were messy, and in the panicked crowd, only a small number of people nearby could be seen, but without exception, the fleeing rout, all of them showed panic, and the unconcealable fear made them rush to the moat like a tide, shouting loudly at the city.

He Yingxing, the officer on duty at the city gate, was a little flustered, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation, according to the regulations, he should not have lowered the drawbridge and opened the city gate, but it was the general Yao Changrong who was shouting below, which was not comparable to him as a petty official at the gate.

Yao Changrong, who was across the moat, was also very contradictory in his heart at this time, he knew very well that as soon as the city gate opened, as soon as these Zhengdong troops dressed as routs poured into the city, Shahe would not be guarded, but Mei Hua beside him was holding a crossbow in his hand, and he was aiming at his vest with the cover of the figure, if he didn't open the city gate, the next moment, he would be the first to die.

In the midst of hesitation, he finally gained the upper hand to save his life, but in his heart he hoped that this officer on duty would stick to his principles, if he insisted on not opening, it was not that he did not do his best.

"Hurry up and open the door, the Eastern Army is about to chase after you, do you want to send these more than 1,000 brothers to the Eastern Army for slaughter?" Yao Changrong jumped to his feet and scolded.

The officers in the city finally couldn't withstand the other party's strength, not to mention, the so-called Eastern Army, at this time, even the shadow has not been seen, these more than 1,000 people into the city, it will not take much time, the idea is certain, immediately turned his head and said: "Put the suspension bridge, look at the city gate." ”

Seeing the high suspension bridge creaking and slowly lowering, and the closed city gate slowly opened, Mei Hua's heart that had been hanging finally fell back into her stomach, and then she felt a cold sweat in her vest. At this distance, a rain of arrows came down from the city, and his own gang hid without a place to hide, and they were all shot into hedgehogs.

"As soon as we enter the city, you kid will run for your life!" Attached to Yao Changrong's ear, Mei Hua smiled hesitantly, "Hide in your own home, don't go out and die, and wait for the old men to take Shahe." I will remember your merits, our Eastern Army will never treat those who have merit badly. ”

"I don't ask for merit, but I ask you to keep your promise and keep my family safe!" Listening to the clatter of the drawbridge falling, Yao Changrong cried and said in a low voice.

"Is this a requirement, it's not a requirement, it's very simple." Mei Hua chuckled. "Let's go, enter the city, and you're done." Reaching out and stabbing Yao Changrong's waist, the two took the lead in entering the city. Behind them. More than 1,000 troops marched in with the two of them.

The alarm bells sounded in the city, and troops poured out of the barracks, heading towards the city walls. Ji Heng rode on a horse, and under the protection of his own soldiers, he rode quickly, two armies of more than 3,000 people. At the same time, they were defeated, which shows that the other party is by no means the two battalion leaders shown in the intelligence, but a large force that is enough to threaten Shahe City, if it had been known that this was the case, these two armies should never have been sent to death, if they were placed in the city, with an army of more than 10,000 people plus the youth and strength in the city, it was enough to hold Shahe, but now, there are only 4,000 people left in the city, and it is still unknown whether they can withstand the enemy's attack, compared to Shahe City, the defenders of 4,000 people are too few.

When he was thinking about the lawsuit, in the direction of the East City Gate, a huge shouting of killing suddenly broke out, and Ji Heng had a bang in his head, and he almost fell off the horse.

Router? Route! When I heard the news that Yao Changrong and they were defeated and fled back, I was shocked and angry, and I didn't think about it, I was afraid that something big had happened.

"Get out of the East City Gate, hurry up, go to the East City Gate." Ji Heng smashed the war horse and ran towards the east gate like crazy.

The shouts of killing were deafening, and the raging flames rose into the sky, reflecting the eastern sky clearly, and a battle was breaking out at the east gate, and there was no doubt that the eastern army used those routs to break open the city gate.

At the east city gate, the officer on duty, after opening the city gate, ran to the entrance of the city gate to greet Yao Changrong, but what he never expected was that a soldier behind Yao Changrong raised his hand, and with a bang, he looked down at his chest in disbelief, and a short crossbow arrow was inserted in his chest until it was unhandled.

He pointed at Yao Changrong, stared at him, and slowly fell backwards.

With Mei Hua's move, the soldiers of the Eastern Army shouted, and they drew their knives to kill around.

"The first company controlled the city gate hole, the second company gave me the city wall, cut the rope of the drawbridge, the third company expanded outward to disperse the enemy at the city gate, and the fourth company immediately built a fortress for me." Mei Hua swung his sword and rushed forward a few steps, slashing down several enemies in front of him, stopping and shouting loudly. As soon as he turned around and saw Yao Changrong standing there in despair, he couldn't help but smile and said, "General Yao, you have made a great achievement, why don't you leave immediately, do you want to fight side by side with me here?" ”

The muscles on Yao Changrong's face twitched a few times, and he hugged his fist at Mei Hua, "Please don't forget your promise." One turned around, and took advantage of the chaos to run into the darkness.

Mei Hua strode up the city wall, the soldiers of the second company had already quickly destroyed the winch connecting the drawbridge in this moment's effort, several soldiers were shouting the trumpet to turn the bed crossbow on the city wall, and others were using the wood, stones and other things on the city wall to block both ends of the city wall, and in a short time, a simple line of defense had been arranged.

Holding on to the battlements, looking to the east, the sky was still dark, half an hour, Dasha Company Commander had to hold on to himself for half an hour, when he set off, Mei Hua felt that there was no problem, but now when he was really in this situation of being attacked from several sides, he felt that this half an hour, I was afraid that it was not so easy to survive.

Standing here with him, he could clearly see that on the streets of the city, the horses' hooves were rumbling, and the torches were almost connected into a fire dragon, which was gathering here in all directions, but I was afraid that Ji Heng would transfer half of the city's soldiers and horses here.

"Auspicious." He yelled. Jixiang is the company commander of the second company, and at this time he and several soldiers were shouting the number to move the bed crossbow to the battlements on this side, when he heard Mei Hua's shout, he hurriedly ran over.

"Battalion commander, what's the matter?"

Mei Hua pointed in the direction where the sound of rumbling hooves came from in the distance, "Do you see that street, it is full of cavalry, it seems that Ji Heng is desperately trying to recapture the city gate, and he actually uses cavalry on such a narrow street, you have two bed crossbows here, aim at that street for me, and open a blood alley for them to come out." ”

"Yes!" Jixiang said loudly.

"Aim a little bit, if you can't aim accurately, Lao Tzu will hang." Mei Hua stretched out his hand and took down a big knife from the weapon rack by the city wall, "Mom, pull an egg, Lao Tzu's Mo knife can't be brought, this thing can barely be used." With a sweep in his hand, he strode under the wall.

"Battalion commander, what are you going to do?" Jixiang asked behind him.

"You opened the blood alley, Lao Tzu took advantage of the chaos to rush in and slash the Quartet, this cavalry came the fastest, and the most aggressive, wait for Lao Tzu to kill their sharpness, see if they still have the strength they have now." Mei Hua held a big knife and danced in the air.

Ji Xiang opened his mouth, but before he could come back to his senses, Mei Hua had disappeared from his field of vision. Under a fierce attack, he turned his head sharply, rushed to the two bed crossbows, waved his arms and said to the soldiers who were adjusting the two bed crossbows: "Aim at the street where the cavalry came, take aim, open a bloody alley, if you can't shoot accurately, I will cut off your heads." ”

Mei Hua dragged the knife, with twenty soldiers who were also holding big knives, crouched at the corner of the street, quietly waiting, the sound of hooves was getting closer and closer, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves stepped on the ground, feeling the ground trembling slightly under his feet, Mei Hua's heart calmed down, he remembered the bloody battle with the palace guards, tens of thousands of war horses hedged together at a very fast speed, all around were flashing knife light, there was no way to protect themselves at all, and there was no way to protect themselves, the only thing to do was to raise the Mo knife in his hand, sweep, slash, rushed through the dense ranks, and as for whether he would fall off his horse and be trampled into meat in the process, he didn't have time to think about it.

At that moment, everyone's minds went blank.

Shang Fatzi blocked a knife for himself in the third hedge, at that time, the dense horse team had thinned out a lot, and on the ground, there were more trampled corpses of soldiers.

He took a deep breath, clenched the broadsword in his hand, and turned his head to look at the two bed crossbow bolts that shone with a faint cold light on the city wall.

The screams suddenly sounded, and the two bed crossbows flashed in the air like ghosts in the light of the firelight, and there was an immediate scream on the street, and when the heavy object fell to the ground, the sound of rapid horses' hooves suddenly stopped.

"Good shot!" Mei Hua roared, carrying a big knife, a short body, like a tiger descending the mountain, and rushed out, behind him, more than 20 soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army who were also holding big knives howled and rushed up.

On the street, the galloping horses one after another, the two bed crossbows above the city accurately shot into this dense horse team, the strong bed crossbows shot through several cavalry like sugar gourds, the first two bodies were shot apart, blood splashed, stumps flying, received such a shocking blow, the cavalry behind involuntarily stopped their horses, collided with each other, and suddenly became a mess.

Mei Hua was stuck at this time and rushed out, and the big knife in his hand was slashed down again and again, each time he chopped it with a roar, as if he was not chopping human lives, but wooden stakes one by one.

With these two dozen long swordsmen, he was embedded in the cavalry ranks. (To be continued......)
