It was late August, three watches in the middle of the night, and there was only a crescent moon in the night sky.

The moon is hazy, the night is hazy, and there are many people.

Xicheng County is indeed heavily guarded, even if it is already midnight and three watches at this time, there are still soldiers on the city wall who are on duty at night. Yes, three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, it is not only the patrol team that patrols the night.

A few bonfires dispelled the darkness around the city walls, and any ghostly monster would have nothing to hide as long as they were close to the city walls.

It's just that the range that the bonfire can illuminate is limited after all, and it is still dark beyond the moat.

At the west gate of Xicheng County, in the darkness thousands of steps away, Zhang Lu and 100,000 were waiting for the West Gate to open, and then the agreed signal appeared, and the 100,000 Han Chinese army would enter the city in one fell swoop.

Yang Bai stayed by Zhang Lu's side and was watched by several personal soldiers. In a few moments, he will be the vanguard. As long as the West City Gate of Xicheng County is broken, he Yang Bai will take the lead in entering the city. Only in this way will Zhang Lu be relieved to boldly enter the city, right?

Seeing that the third watch was approaching, a "squeak" sound came from afar.

This is the sound of the gates of the city being opened, and this sound is heard when the gates of any city are opened.

Zhang Lu and Yang Song were excited, Yang Ren and they really did not disappoint, and quietly opened the West City Gate.

Leaning slightly, I saw three torches suddenly appear, and then shook there a few times before extinguishing.

"The enemy army has attacked the city gates!" Soon, without Zhang Lu and them reacting, a terrible shout came from the city gate, and the alarm bell was also sounded. There was also the sound of fighting at the gates of the city.

Obviously, although Yang Ren and the others quietly opened the city gate, they were exposed when they raised the torch to summon the interrogation.

The sentry post on the city wall of Xicheng County is not an ornament!

"Kill into the city!" Zhang Lu's horse whip pointed directly at the West City Gate of Xicheng County.

Yang Bai took the lead, leading the 3,000 vanguard army that had just been allocated to him, and killed him towards the city gate. The moat outside the west gate has long been filled in by the people of the Hanzhong army, and the distance of a thousand steps is under the feet of three thousand elite horsemen, and it is coming in an instant.

"Yan Zhi, you bring another 50,000 troops and follow them into the city!"

Seeing that Yang Bai's vanguard had already entered the city, Zhang Lu did not dare to slack off, and followed closely and asked the general Yan Zhi to lead the troops to follow. It must be known that at this time, the enemy army in the city has already reacted, and it is difficult to say whether Yang Bai's three thousand pioneers can expand the results of the battle.

Yan Zhi received the order and ran directly to the city gate with 50,000 infantry troops.

This was planned by Zhang Lu and Yang Song a long time ago. Just wait for the gate of Xicheng County to be quietly opened, and Yang Bai entered the city as a pioneer to verify his loyalty. The rest needed Yan Zhi to lead the army into the city to have a chance to capture Xicheng County.

With only 3,000 pioneers riding in the city, even if there is a combination of inside and outside, it is difficult to take Xicheng County!

As for Zhang Lu's side, there are still 30,000 troops left, but this is just in case.

……

Xicheng County, inside the West City Gate.

Yang Bai led three thousand elite horsemen into the city with ease.

The sound of fighting at the gate of the city has long been gone, and there are only dozens of "corpses" faintly on the ground.

The three thousand elite horsemen faintly felt that something was wrong, but Yang Bai, the leading general, took the lead and went straight to the city to kill. The elite riders were helpless, so they had to suppress the uneasy feelings in their hearts, and rode their horses to follow closely behind Yang Bai.

There were no enemy troops, no friendly troops, and not even a campfire nearby for lighting.

The more the three thousand vanguard elite horses advanced, the more they felt that something was wrong. When some low-level officers such as battalion commanders or commanders wanted to find out the situation of Yang Baiyu, they suddenly found that their vanguard general had disappeared without a trace.

"Didn't General Yang rush to the front just now?" Many people wondered.

At this time, the dozens of elite horsemen who rushed to the front suddenly reined in their horses, and the elite cavalry behind also followed closely behind them, but it was not clear why.

"What's the situation?" The knight behind asked in a loud voice.

Isn't this the time it took to enter the city for about ten breaths, and even the enemy was not found, so why did he stop there?

"There's a city wall ahead, are we rushing over the top?"

The dozens of riders at the front, looking at the swarthy city wall in front of them, were a little incredulous.

Xicheng County doesn't have such a small one, right?

How could it take more than ten breaths to penetrate the entire city?

"Oh no, this is Urn City!"

Among the three thousand elite cavalry, there are always so many smart people who have read one or two military books, and when they hear about the current situation, they instantly think of Wengcheng. Since it is an urn city, it is natural to lure them, the Hanzhong army, into the urn.

"Hurry back!"

The three thousand horses were in disarray, some of whom did not know why, but most of them turned their horses and prepared to exit the city along the same route.

However, after entering the urn city, is there still a chance to quit?

……

In front of the three thousand vanguard elite cavalry of the Hanzhong army, rows of torches instantly lit up on the walls of the urn city. A white-robed warrior pointed at his spear and halberd, and shouted: "Wait for the encirclement, don't you surrender yet?" ”

The soldiers of the Hanzhong army looked up and saw that on the wall of the urn city, there were crossbowmen all over.

Moreover, Yang Bai, who was still their vanguard general just now, was actually standing on the wall of the urn city at this time. At this time, as long as they are not fools, they all thought that they were cheated by Yang Bai.

Surrender with your hands tied?

None of the three thousand elite horsemen of the Hanzhong Army had such thoughts.

Even if they fall into the urn city plan, they will just fight out of the city along the same road, how can they surrender with their hands tied?

You must know that the trapped beasts still have to fight!

Everyone had already turned their troops and were about to rush to the city gate, but they did not see any movement from the brothers at the front. The elite cavalry close to the walls of the urn city can no longer bear it, and they will worry about the enemy's crossbowmen firing arrows at any time.

"Brother in front, open the way, what are you doing here?" The man in the back urged.

"There is a shield wall behind us, and we can't move, how can we kill it?" The person in front replied.

But in such a short period of time, rows of shield soldiers suddenly appeared behind them, and there were rows of spears on the shield wall, surrounding them, squeezing them in this small space near the wall of the urn city.

The cavalry crisscrossed the open area, and naturally it would not be besieged by a small shield wall.

But in the city, when the horses were still not free, the shield soldiers could easily besiege the cavalry.

……

On the wall of the urn city, Zhao Yun stuck his spear on the city wall, took the bow and arrow behind his back, and shot an arrow when he opened the bow. Under the city wall, among the three thousand elite horsemen of the Hanzhong army who were squeezed together, an unlucky egg was shot in an instant.

Under the arrow of Zhao Yun's infused true qi, no one has been able to stop it.

"Within three breaths, if you don't tie your hands down, this person will be your fate!" Zhang Yun shouted angrily.

In fact, if it weren't for these three thousand war horses, the crossbowmen on the urn city would have released their arrows by this time.

The 3,000 elite horsemen who entered the city were not enough for the crossbowmen to torture and kill!

It's just that the cavalry under the lord's command has been lost, and if you want to establish another cavalry, it's okay to say anything else, but the war horse has no source. Therefore, after Kong Ming's military division returned to the city today, on the basis of Pang Shiyuan's urn city plan, another urn city plan was added, that is, there was an urn city in the urn city. In order to lure a piece of Hanzhong cavalry into the pit.

Of course, for the sake of the war horses, Zhao Yun could only force these enemy elite horsemen to surrender, instead of immediately shooting them with arrows.
