Chapter 67: Urn City

The herald made a great circle before he came to the cave of the city gate, and said in a loud voice, "Go, go." ”

At this moment, the hole in the city gate was densely packed with people, all of them with their own blades, and behind the city gate, two of them were unloading the top door wood of the city gate, and even two of the three deadbolts were being removed.

The gate had three deadbolts, one at the top, one on the ground, and one in the middle, and only the middle deadbolt was connected.

"What's going on?" The general at the front said: "It's not that as soon as the explosion at the outer door subsides, we rushed out, why did we change the order again." ”

The herald opened his mouth, but before he could speak, a deafening explosion was heard.

He was stunned for a moment.

But I saw two huge door panels, as if they had been hit open by something, and the speaker didn't even say a word, and was pressed under the door panel.

I don't know if the two panels were really sturdy, or if they lifted the deadbolt to open it. Anyway, there was no damage to the two door panels, but there were still small wooden thorns that I don't know how many, as well as door bolts, top door sticks and other things flew up, and smashed on all sides in the small city gate hole.

For a while, it was still a city gate cave here.

It's clearly a flesh and blood alley.

The herald opened his mouth, and suddenly felt that his face was wet, and when he touched it with his hand, it was all blood.

"Kill." Zhang Xuan shouted violently and rushed to the front. Zhou Fuming followed closely and rushed into the city gate.

Cao Zongyu, who was in the final formation, breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Xuan didn't find it in the front, Cao Zongyu saw it clearly, after the first gunpowder car was detonated, all the soldiers stopped advancing, and even a few people were ready to flee, if it wasn't for Cao Zongyu's instant decision, killing two people in a row, and inserting the heads of these two people on the spear, so that the two people were raised high to deter the soldiers. Otherwise, the man would have collapsed.

However, Cao Zongyu is just able to maintain the situation without collapsing. If the front can't open the situation, the collapse of the back will be sooner or later.

Luckily, everything went well.

"Put a signal." Cao Zongyu said.

A firework shot up into the sky, and it was clearly visible from afar

When Yang Shan saw the fireworks on his head, he knew that Zhang Xuan and the others had already succeeded, and said, "Get on the horse." ”

At the sound of an order, more than 1,000 horsemen got on their horses one after another. More than 1,000 people came from the west of Xinyang City, along the Shihe River all the way to the east, and went straight to the south city gate.

"What's going on?" Liu Guoneng heard another explosion, and his heart was extremely worried.

Just after Liu Guoneng received the emergency report from the South Gate, he had a bad feeling in his heart, he already had a premonition, wasn't he being tricked by Luo Rucai? Therefore, he immediately took the elite around him and came to the south gate. But before they came to the south gate, they heard a loud roar.

Liu Guoneng's heart was suddenly suspended, as if the sound of this explosion was not in his ears, but in his heart.

"Rack." Liu Guoneng threw a heavy whip on his mount, and his entourage also let their horses run wildly.

Back on the battlefield.

In fact, the explosion of the city gate certainly injured a lot. It looks extremely miserable, but in fact, there are not many deaths, after all, there are not many soldiers who have to leave the city, otherwise the officers at the head of the city will not think that they can eat the enemy army of more than 500 people in one bite.

However, the sound of this explosion frightened the courage of these soldiers.

In the midst of the panic, Zhang Xuan and Zhou Fuming joined forces to kill, which caused a chain reaction for a while, some people wanted to retreat, and some people wanted to move forward. In addition, the official was killed, no one organized it, and it became a mess in an instant.

Zhang Xuan is not alone.

Seeing that the city gate was blown open, Zhang Xuan's subordinates all had the courage to rush up and rush into the city gate.

The two sides fought in a small space, and Zhang Xuan was gradually squeezed behind.

Zhou Fuming held two knives, as if he was a madman, killing at the front, at the beginning, there were still people who had two fights with Zhou Fuming, but he saw that Zhou Fuming didn't take his life seriously at all, and rushed to the front. It's all about exchanging lives for lives, but they don't have the courage.

Husband war, courage also.

Without courage, a group of warriors suddenly turned into a circle of lambs, and they turned and fled, but after a while, they did not flee, and surrendered on their knees.

Zhang Xuan walked out of the city gate hole, swept his eyes, and suddenly felt a coldness penetrate deep into his bone marrow, and he could barely stand.

This is an urn city.

There are high city walls on all sides, and at the front is a city gate that has just been closed, there are hundreds of officials and soldiers, and Zhang Xuan's department rushed in, there are also hundreds of people, densely filling all the space of the urn city.

At this time, it is like a live target.

"What should I do?" Zhang Xuan's brain was blank.

Suddenly, the banner above the head of the urn city was opened, and countless soldiers came out, one by one, they took bows and arrows, and shot down, and for a time the arrows rained down, and these arrows were rockets.

Zhang Xuan's subordinates retreated one after another, wanting to rush out of the city gate.

"Death to those who dare to retreat." A snowy sword light slashed a retreating soldier in half with a knife, and it was none other than Cao Zongyu. Cao Zongyu signaled, but saw several people behind him pushing a gunpowder cart into the city gate hole.

Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth and said secretly in his heart: "Now the plan, the Chinese cavalry is behind, even if you escape, there is no place to escape, only to blow up this gate again is the only way to survive." ”

"Brothers, if we can blow up a city gate, we can blow up another city gate and rush with me." Zhang Xuan was about to go to the cart again, but Cao Zongyu grabbed him and said, "I'll come." ”

It's just that the distance of the city gate is full of corpses, and there are two gates on the ground that cross the ground, so the undulating ground can't walk at all.

"Remember to kill Liu Guoneng to avenge my father." Zhou Fuming shouted, threw away his weapon, and grabbed the gunpowder box.

This box of gunpowder weighed about one or two hundred pounds, and it was even heavier with the hardwood box. Zhou Fuming actually picked it up and left.

Zhou Fuming secretly said in his heart: "What my father did, although the camp doesn't say it for the time being, how can he really not care, even if Xinyang City is broken, maybe, the camp will have to deal with the affairs of my Zhou family, Zhang Xuan has a little benevolence, but if he wants to pay too much price to keep his younger brother, he may not be willing." Let my younger brother live, the best way is that I die here, the more heroic and meritorious I die, the easier it will be for Zhang Xuan to speak. ”

"Second brother, if you want to survive well, you will be left alone in the Zhou family. My brother can't take care of you anymore. Tears appeared in the corners of Zhou Fuming's eyes, and he shouted loudly and rushed to the city gate.

At this moment, in the urn city, it is safe here in the city gate hole, as soon as Zhou Fuming rushed out, he was noticed by the people above the urn city, especially such a large medicine box, it is difficult not to be noticed.

Countless rockets shot at Zhou Fuming, Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth and rushed out, protecting Zhou Fuming's left, and Cao Zongyu also went out to protect Zhou Fuming's right.

However, Cao Zongyu's martial arts are exquisite, and he can chop most rockets with just a long knife, but Zhang Xuan can't, Zhang Xuan is simply chasing ducks to the shelves, and from time to time several rockets leak from Zhang Xuan's side and nail them to the gunpowder box.

Luckily, the powder box was made of hardwood. Even if a rocket is nailed to it, it will not burn through for a while.

The urn city is not big, and the distance from the first city gate to the second city gate is only more than a hundred steps. But the distance of more than 100 steps is like the separation between heaven and earth. Zhou Fuming smashed the gunpowder box in front of the second city gate.

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and Cao Zongyu immediately protected Zhang Xuan and dodged to the corner.

Zhang Xuan should be glad that the lethality of bows and arrows is limited after all, even if it is a rocket, often someone can hit a dozen arrows alive, and the firearms in the city are all arranged to launch outward, and they can't get above the head of the urn city for a while. Otherwise, Zhang Xuan's subordinates would definitely suffer heavy casualties. The plan is not supported.

But just when Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Fuming's heart suddenly tensed. Because he did not find the ignition cord on the gunpowder box.

What to do? Zhou Fuming was sweating profusely.
