Zhang Hong, the chief general of the Han army, had listened to Ji Shuang's orders earlier, so when Ji Shuang's four people fought against the five prisoners, he had already sent an order to go down, Mingjin withdrew his troops, and returned to Dingxi Pass to defend the pass.

At the sound of an order, the 10,000-strong army receded like a tide, and the venue was instantly empty.

Of course, although he gave the order to retreat, those centurions and thousand-suckers did not understand Zhang Hong's approach.

In their opinion, their side obviously relied on Ji Yun's majesty to kill the enemy generals, and their morale was strong and the army's morale was determined. In such a situation, the whole army should be killed to annihilate the enemy army, so how can we retreat?

And not only them, but most of the soldiers also didn't understand Zhang Hong's approach, and they all cheered.

Zhang Hong can't, he can't say the real reason. can only find excuses to prevaricate, and on the other hand, suppress them with military orders.

This time out of the army, Liu Zhi didn't plan to let the soldiers meet each other in a short time, but just let Zhang Hong lead the army out of the city to make a show, and let Ji Yun kill one or two enemy generals Liwei, and had no other intentions.

After all, the Huns were fierce and had good combat power, and now even if they were demoralized, they were not so easy to deal with.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have received a secret report that the Xiongnu are not trustworthy and have mobilized tens of thousands of troops to reinforce the encirclement and suppression. If we don't return to Dingxi Pass as soon as possible, we will be annihilated by all of them.

It is for this reason that I ordered the withdrawal of the army. After we have defeated their attack in the pass, we will come back to find an opportunity to get out of the pass and destroy them. And Lord Wang also has other arrangements for this matter, and we must not destroy Lord Wang's plan. ”

"I see!"

When everyone heard this explanation, they suddenly realized, did not suspect that it was false, and hurried to evacuate.

The prisoner Niu and the others suffered a lot of losses, and their chests were full of anger, so they chased after them and wanted to fight for life and death.

In the rear of the Xiongnu, Temupei sent spies to report the news to the camp of the left king, the camp of the right king, and the court of Shan Yu.

When the left and right kings and Shan Yu heard the news, they were all surprised, and immediately sent troops to take the lead in all the armies under their command and went straight to Dingxi Pass to help.

At that moment, the Xiongnu army of more than 300,000 troops all went out and rushed to Dingxi Pass together.

Liu Zhi, who was paying close attention to the battlefield movements in the Dingxi Guancheng Tower, saw Zhang Hong's return from afar, and hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened.

"Prepare the archers, after General Zhang Hong enters the city, give me a flurry of arrows, be sure to intercept all the Hun troops behind, and don't let them cross the thunder pool by half a step."

The defenders guarding the city tower checked their bows and crossbow equipment, and set up oil pots, wild stones and other things to defend the city.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, keep up, keep up...."

Zhang Hong led many generals to raise their arms and shout, shouting anxiously, urging the soldiers to enter the city quickly.

Seeing that the other party was about to enter the city, the prisoner couldn't catch up, so he grabbed a bow and crossbow from the soldiers on the side, buckled four arrow feathers, pulled it into a full moon, and pointed the arrow at Ji Yun and the four people.

Shout....

He easily opened the strings of the arrows, and the four arrows flew through the air, whining and whining.

Will hold the bow like a full moon, look northwest, shoot the wolf!

At this moment, the prison cow has this momentum. In his hand, this ordinary bow and crossbow turned into a divine weapon, and its power increased greatly.

After the four arrows were fired, they separated from each other, as if they were manipulated, and they were extremely flexible.

Ji Yun and the four of them were incomparable, and they immediately sensed that there were arrow feathers flying behind them, and their faces suddenly changed drastically.

They all guessed the intention of the prison cow, and it was expected that the prison cow was using flying arrows to block themselves and compete for time.

"It's a bit hard to deal with." Ji Xuan thought secretly: "If we dodge and avoid it, we will be hindered, so we will not be able to enter the customs in time." If you don't dodge and get injured, I'm afraid that after entering the customs, the officers and soldiers in the customs will definitely think that we have lost the battle, which will affect the morale of the army. ”

In embarrassment, they are all in a state of embarrassment.

If you can't enter the gate in time, then there is only a dead end after the city gate is closed. They didn't think that Liu Zhi would open the city gate and send troops to meet them. And even if Liu Zhi wanted to respond, he didn't dare to take action, and he didn't dare to ignore the overall situation of Xiguan.

Because once the city gate is opened and the Huns catch up, then it can no longer be closed, and there is a chance that Dingxi Pass will be lost.

Prisoner Niu sneered, he didn't give Ji Yun and the four of them any time to think. After he had shot four arrows, he took four more arrows and put them on the bowstring to shoot.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

In an instant, the prison bull shot more than 100 arrows in a row.

These arrows are densely packed and overwhelming, and the momentum is extremely powerful.

As for the Hun soldiers behind him, these people did not shoot arrows. Because they don't have the ability to shoot arrows out of range.

"Ji Yun, Ji Yan, Ji Shuang, you go first, I'll break the back!"

Ji Xuan roared, stopped the horses, turned around, and swung his earth-moving sword to block the flying arrows.

Ji Yan said: "It's better for me to come, you go first." ”

"No, my earth-walking sword can exert its greatest power here, and the role you left behind is not as great as the role I left behind." Ji Xuan roared angrily: "It's too late, you guys go quickly." ”

Ji Yun took a deep look at the Hun army behind him, and then resolutely turned his head, "Let's go...."

Drive, drive, drive....

They swung their whips and drove their horses to gallop.

At the Dingxi Pass, Zhang Hong's subordinates have already begun to enter the pass. As for the defenders who were in charge of guarding the gates, they began to prepare to close the gates.

Three minutes passed, and about two or three percent of the 10,000-strong army returned to the city.

Five minutes passed, and about seventy or eighty percent of the 10,000 troops returned to the city.

Ten minutes passed, and all the soldiers who left the customs entered the customs smoothly. As for those Hun soldiers, they are still about a mile away from here.

In just 10 minutes, all 10,000 soldiers entered the customs, which shows the quality of these soldiers.

After Ji Yun and the three soldiers entered the customs, they also stepped on the suspension bridge.

However, they were hesitant to go in, but they didn't want to go in.

Ji Xuan blocked the arrows shot by the prison cow for them, so he didn't have time to keep up, and he was still more than 500 meters away. Behind him more than 500 meters was the mighty Hun army.

"Ji Yun, it's too late, let's go." Although Ji Shuang was unwilling, she didn't mess up her mind, "It will take at least nearly ten minutes to close the city gate and pull up the drawbridge." If the city gate is not closed now, then after the Hun army comes, it will no longer be able to close, and Ji Xuan's body is superb and the secret method is endless, and he may not be able to catch up with the time to enter the customs. ”

Ji Yun looked up at the hundreds of zhang high city, and then looked at Ji Xuan who was galloping behind him, his eyes were full of blood.

On the city tower, Liu Zhi also discovered this situation.

He thought for a moment and decisively ordered: "Pull up the drawbridge and close the city gates." ”

"It's not good!" Zhuge Ming, the chief general of Liangzhou, hesitated: "General Liu, if the city gate is closed now, then Ji Xuanke will really die outside the city." ”

"What's the solution?" Liu Zhi roared: "If we don't close the city gate, when the Hun army comes, how can we resist?" If Ji Xuan dies outside the gate, I will bear the consequences. ”
