"Did you say yes in the city?" Zhao Xingde sat on his horse and turned around and asked.

"Mr. Bing, I have agreed." Zhang Yong said respectfully, "Foolproof." "More than ten days ago, several students stayed in Hongshan Temple, waiting for Zhao Xingde's army to come back, and used small flags and clairvoyant mirrors to contact Ezhou City once a day. There have always been people in Ezhou who have been paying attention to Dongshan, and the sky is slightly bright, so there is an answer.

"Good!" Zhao Xingde nodded approvingly. With Mr.'s praise, Zhang Yong suddenly felt in a good mood, and even his body floated a little. Zhao Xingde put down the copper face, lifted the reins of the horse, and shouted: "Go!" "The six hundred iron horsemen who had already been fully draped urged their horses, and the war horses were draped in iron armor, like galloping and moving iron towers, with the violent sound of horses' hooves, they rolled up wildly and disappeared. The three servants took a few steps back, stood beside the road, and watched the back of the iron rider disappear at the turn of the mountain road, and muttered, "The husband should be like this." ”

Zhao Xingde's body fell with the war horse, and gradually adjusted his breathing. According to the description of the scouts, although the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang were numerous, they were divided into several parts by the river, except for the siege army concentrated in the east of the state city, and the direction of defense faced the north and the river, the other camps were relatively loose, and it was also common to plunder and harass the people. The wind whistled in his ears, and the war horse seemed to know that it was almost at its destination, and it was obviously much more excited than on the way. One hundred and ten cavalry appeared in front, loosely formed, seemingly enemy scouts patrolling the road.

"General Zhao, what should I do?"

Zhao Xingde drew his horizontal knife, swung it forward, and shouted, "Rush over!" Almost at the same moment, Yang Zaixing and Ma Rui, the two tiger generals, each raised their pistols and shouted: "Kill!" "Six hundred iron horsemen rushed straight over, and the horse pistols stabbed on their behalf, and the opposing cavalry was caught off guard, and was immediately scattered, and the rest had no intention of resisting, and urged the horses to flee one after another." Fast! Zhao Xingde shouted loudly again, urging the horse to speed up and rush forward, the trees on the side of the road quickly retreated, and the six hundred iron horsemen were extremely fast, passing through the Xiangyang military horse camp along the way, they were rushed over before they had time to react. It didn't take long for Zhao Xingde to see the Ezhou city wall.

At the head of Qingyuan Gate, Cao Liangshi rarely lost his composure, standing at the window and looking into the distance. Several generals who knew the inside story were in a state of excitement, and while shouting orders, they looked into the distance from time to time. Brigade of village soldiers crowded inside the city gates. "Quick! Hurry!" The officer was urging loudly. The villagers carried the sand and gravel belts that blocked the city gate on their shoulders, and hundreds of sharp warriors carried strong shields and spears to guard outside the city gate. The Xiangyang army besieging the city seemed to be aware of it, and pushed the car more and more vigorously. The gate trembled, and the latch of the gate, which was made of a whole iron pear wood, pulled the thick iron ring at once.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Every blow seemed to hit people's hearts, and with the excited shouts of the Xiangyang army, many Ezhou defenders showed a desperate look on their faces. No one knew how Lord Cao would suddenly order the road behind the city gate hole to be cleared, ready to open the city gate at any time. Some people are secretly suspicious, can they say......

When the Xiangyang army took turns to attack the city more and more fiercely, hundreds of cavalry appeared in a corner of the battlefield quite eye-catching, the Xiangyang army in the near area was in chaos, and more infantry cavalry were gathered in the distance. In fact, before a pillar of incense, the Xiangyang army got the news of the approaching cavalry, however, because the number of this group of cavalry was not large, the Chinese army Yuhou did not even alarm Cao Xianggong, and only ordered all the troops to work together to encircle and suppress. However, surprisingly, instead of dodging, this group of cavalry rushed straight to the Qingyuan Gate like moths to a fire.

"Damn it!" Cao Di muttered in his mouth, and he didn't know whether to scold this group of mosquitoes who suddenly broke into the battlefield, or to scold his subordinates for being incompetent, he raised his horsewhip and pointed at the battlefield in front of him, shouting, "Don't let it go!" The cavalry of the four commands immediately set out and rushed towards this group of Ezhou cavalry from four directions. Above and below the city, both sides that were fighting fiercely saw all this. At this time, the group of cavalry suddenly raised a banner high, and the big word "Zhao" swept in the wind. After an instant, the city of Ezhou erupted into a tsunami-like cheer.

"My lord, do you see clearly?" Someone can't believe their eyes.

"General Zhao has arrived!" Fan Changheng's voice was completely hoarse, and he couldn't hear his own voice.

However, this did not prevent all the soldiers from understanding what he meant. All night, all night, Fan Dutou was yelling, reinforcements would arrive tomorrow. All the soldiers will be skeptical, and now, it has become true? What could be more exciting. In Ezhou, under the watchful eyes of thousands of troops, there is no one else who can play the battle flag of the word "Zhao"!

"Reinforcements - reinforcements have arrived" Some people wept with joy, and in their tired bodies, there was suddenly a new strength, which drove them to lift the rolling wood and stones, and rained down on the besieging enemy troops who were also shaken. After this fierce battle, the Ezhou soldiers who were originally afraid of battle have gradually become accustomed to it, and only by giving a glimmer of hope, they can muster up the last trace of strength and wield their swords to fight to the end.

"God, Zhao Dashuai's reinforcements have arrived!"

"Mr. Zhao's reinforcements have arrived!"

Countless people shouted like crazy, and Zhao Xingde suddenly led the army to appear outside the city, which was even more exciting than the appearance of tens of thousands of troops. I saw that this cavalry was extremely flexible and interspersed with twists and turns in the Xiangyang army, two brave men were the vanguard of the left and right, and the two spears were even stabbed and beaten, and all of them were invincible, stirring up the already panicked siege soldiers and horses even more panicked. The cavalry of the brigade pursued in vain, but the distance was getting farther and farther. Seeing this, the Ezhou soldiers at the head of the city cheered louder and louder.

"Zhao Yuanzhi, sure enough, I'm back!" Cao Liangshi's eyes were full of excitement, and he ordered, "Open the city gate quickly!" ”

At this moment, the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang who are attacking the city have not retreated, and when they open the city gate, they may be stolen by the enemy army at any time, however, Cao Liangshi's order came down, and no one questioned it, if the city gate was not opened, it would not be in line with common sense, as if Zhao Xingde arrived, the enemy army was immediately not afraid. The siege of Xiangyang had no time to take over, and they had no intention of competing with the iron cavalry that was rampage, and they scattered one after another. Yang Zaixing took the lead, rushed straight to the Qingyuan Gate, and shouted at the city head a hundred steps away: "Open the city gate!" At this time, the head of the city saw more and more clearly the battle flag with the word "Zhao". The cavalry surrounded one of its generals, and his face was covered with a golden copper face, which was very hideous. In the hearts of the defenders, General Zhao seemed to be born with such a vicious appearance, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. When Zhao Xingde pushed the bronze face and showed his true face, the defenders broke out again with huge cheers in an instant, and the entire Ezhou city was full of joy and encouragement, as if winning a big victory!

The sound of hooves was loud, and more than 2,000 horsemen were menacing, as if they were coming straight towards Zhao Xingde, and they seemed to want to take the opportunity to rush into the city. Ma Rui was about to speak, and Yang Zaixing had already preemptively asked for battle: "Let me go out and teach these rats a lesson." Zhao Xingde frowned slightly, nodded and said: "Fight quickly, don't fall in love with war!" "Good!" Yang Zaixing agreed, shouting "Drive!" Drive! "Urging the horses, he led his three hundred horsemen straight towards the enemy.

There was a piercing "creaking" sound behind him, and the heavy city gate slowly opened. Someone shouted inside the door: "General Zhao, come into the city!" Zhao Xingde turned around, saw that the city gate general had a strange face, nodded and smiled: "General, wait a minute, let Zhao sweep the battle for General Yang!" With that, he turned his head away and looked ahead.

Three hundred horsemen like a tiger into the flock of sheep into the enemy cavalry, Yang Zaixing on the horse again and again shouted, a big spear out of nowhere, even picked a few horses off the horse, he is also a few elite in the Zhenguo army, bows, arrows, horses and guns are very good, these days are tired of rushing, encounter Xiangyang cavalry often go without a fight, there is a breath of fire in the chest, at this moment got the opportunity, have to use all their strength to kill, not more than a while, then penetrated the enemy formation, and turned the horse. The horses, ordnance, and martial arts of the Xijing cavalry are all the best choices, but they are comfortable all year round, and they haven't seen much real bloody battles.

Zhao Xingde slightly controlled the horse to the side to get out of the way, Yang Zaixing rushed to the front and shouted, "How? Zhao Xingde smiled: "Not bad! Yang Zaixing laughed, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and led his elite cavalry into Ezhou City. Seeing that the Xiangyang cavalry was already frightened and did not dare to come up to invite battle for a while, Zhao Xingde sighed and said secretly: "It is precisely because of this that the Liao army entered the Central Plains. He ordered Marry to lead his men into the city first, and he was the last to retreat into the city.

Before he got out of the city gate, the flag officer stepped forward: "Cao Shangshu asked General Zhao to go to the city to inspire the army." ”

"Good!" Zhao Xingde jumped off the horse, handed over the reins to the soldiers, ordered Ma Rui to take care of his subordinates, and went up the city tower along the city gate alone, Cao Liangshi was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Zhao Xingde, he said: "Yuan Zhi is coming, this Ezhou city will be as stable as Mount Tai!" "Brother Cao has won the award!" Zhao Xingde looked around at the generals, nodded in his heart, and said with a smile: "More than 10,000 elite soldiers are already on the road." Yue Shumi's Han Jiedu two broke the Liao army, and led the victorious elite army to help. He saw that everyone's faces were full of excitement, and said, "I am united in my heart, and I have won consecutive battles outside, and it seems that I am in danger." The traitorous party insisted on going south to take the chestnuts in the fire, although there were more than 100,000 people, but they could not advance or retreat, and it would be finished sooner or later. ”

The generals nodded again and again when they listened, even the generals standing next to them. Cao Liangshi sighed secretly, there are many people who can say these words, but there are very few people like Zhao Xingde, who can say it and have peace of mind.

At this time, Chen Que, the guard of Qingyuan Gate, couldn't wait to raise Zhao Xingde's flag. The enemy and our soldiers from near and far can see clearly, and some of the defenders at the head of Ezhou City do not know that Zhao Xingde has returned to help, at this time the surprise intersection, they have cheered loudly, the call is higher and higher, at first it was noisy and not very clear, and later, all the armies shouted in unison and repeatedly shouted "Expelling the northern captives!" "Protect the land and the people!" These two military horns came from the Baoyi army, and no one paid attention to what it had to do with the Xiangyang army under the city.
