"Ascend Den Den ......"

Just as Zhang Bao was grieving Gao Sheng's death, a rush of footsteps came from behind him.

"Master, are you alright?" It turned out that Zhang Bao's second apprentice Yan Zheng was patrolling the female wall, and suddenly saw that the senior brother Gao Sheng was killed by a red-faced man in the Han army, and his heart was anxious.

Zhang Bao looked back at the panicked appearance of the second disciple, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Apprentice, the teacher is fine, but it's a pity for your senior brother." ”

"Senior brother, he ......"

"Hey......"

The crowd looked at the corpse outside the city and lamented.

Seeing that Master was so sad, Yan Zheng suddenly remembered that he had discovered a weakness in the official army when he was patrolling the city wall, and immediately felt that it seemed to be a turning point, so he said to Zhang Baojin: "Master, I think we can break through?" ”

"Huh? What's the best way to do it? Zhang Bao knew that his eldest disciple Gao Sheng was loyal and brave, and these two disciples Yan Zheng were occasionally quick-witted, thinking that he could say this, he must have an idea.

Sure enough, living up to Zhang Bao's thoughts, Yan Zheng told what he saw and thought: "Master." When he was on patrol just now, he observed the enemy army for a long time, and found that among the four gates, the arrows of the east, south, and west gates were relatively sparse, while the north gate was very dense. The enemy army was almost equal in number on all sides, and only the Huangfu Song headquarters had slightly more men. ”

"Well, this teacher has also discovered, so I don't know what the apprentice thinks?" Zhang Bao nodded in agreement with what Yan Zheng said, and continued to ask.

After thinking for a while, Yan Zheng said: "Master, the apprentice thinks that there must be a lot of cavalry and foot soldiers on the south side of this east and west, and there are a small number of archers, so the arrows are sparse. At the north gate, there were mostly crossbowmen, lacking cavalry and foot soldiers. In my humble opinion, we can dismantle the shelter in the city, and then kill it through the north gate, and we will definitely be able to break through the siege in one fell swoop. I wonder what Master thinks? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bao straightened up and looked outside the city for a while, then suddenly turned his head to Yan Zheng with a smile and said, "Just according to the disciple's opinion!" ”

"Yes, then I'll arrange it, and ask Master to stay for a while!" Yan Zheng was very happy when he heard that Zhang Bao agreed to his plan, and he improvised to go down to the city tower to arrange.

The thin body, the desperate eyes, the sad wail, the unwilling cry.

At this moment, Quyang City is no longer a place for people to live. If the walls are purgatory, then the city is hell.

After Zhang Bao drained all the sturdy men in the city, the old and weak women and children who remained in the city could only watch as the beasts in human skins wantonly destroyed their homes, destroyed their bodies, and plundered all the materials they needed to survive.

Tears have long since dried up. At this time, the eyes of Qu Yang's living people were filled with despair, anger, and confusion.

"Master, you see, the shelter is all ready." Half an hour later, Yan Zheng strode to the city tower and said to Zhang Bao, who was staring at the city.

"Smack~"

What Yan Zheng never expected was that his invitation was exchanged for a heavy slap. Suddenly felt a burst of sweetness and saltiness in his mouth, and then noticed that there was a foreign object in his mouth, and quickly highlighted it, and it turned out to be two bloody teeth.

At this moment, Yan Zheng fell to his knees hesitantly, prostrate at Zhang Bao's feet in horror, and said tremblingly: "Master, Master, why is this?" ”

"Why?" Zhang Bao's face turned pale, and he shouted loudly, "Why do you say this? Being a teacher just asks you to find shelter for the army, but what about you? As he spoke, he directly reached out and grabbed Yan Zheng's collar, carried him to the battlement, and said angrily, "Look at it, see what has become here?" ”

Yan Zheng raised his head slightly, and saw that the rows of houses in the city had all become piles of rubble and weeds at this moment, and women and children who were unclothed and constantly wailing could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.

"Master, this, you have to listen to my explanation!" A sly look flashed in the corner of Yan Zheng's eyes, and he defended, "Master, the apprentice really didn't know that it would cause such a result. In vain, I just asked my wrestlers to go to the city to find a cover that could replace the shield, but I didn't expect it to make such a fuss. This may be because the wrestlers under his command have not been active for a long time and have done it privately. ”

"You ......" Zhang Bao was angry for a while, and suddenly his face turned pale, "Poof~"

Zhang Bao sprayed Yan Zheng's face with a mouthful of blood, and he felt weak in his limbs. Seeing this, Yan Zheng quickly broke free, supported Zhang Bao with his backhand, and shouted at the two guards not far away: "Quickly carry the Digong general down, listen to my orders, and prepare to break through!" ”

The two guards glanced at each other, and then respectfully bowed their hands to Yan Zhenggong and admitted, "Yes!" Qu Shuai. ”

Zhang Bao was helped down the city tower by two yellow turban wrestlers, and muttered: "The way of heaven is difficult to violate, the way of heaven is difficult to violate......

Outside the north gate of Quyang, under the command of Li Siyuan, five thousand crossbowmen gave strict orders and the army was in order. The herald held the command flag, and with each wave, five thousand crossbowmen bent their bows and arrows together, and after a strong order to "release", five thousand arrows flew towards Quyang City at the same time.

Li Siyuan sat upright on the Vermilion Bird (Li Siyuan brought out the jujube red horse with the system, because of its red body, although the physique is thin, but the light step, by the army of horse breeders, is a good horse in a hundred miles, so Liu Chang named the Vermilion Bird), the red Han armor with Liu Chang personally selected for him bright yellow brocade robe in the autumn wind fluttering, holding a gilt lance, has not completely taken off the childish face is staring at the front at the moment.

Suddenly, Li Siyuan's eyes lit up, and the long lance in his hand was raised high and ordered loudly: "The whole army has become a Xuanxiang formation, check the number of feather arrows." ”

Orders and prohibitions are often emphasized by Liu Chang, and his brothers and elementary school students are also actively working hard to do this. In less than half a moment, 5,000 people changed from the original one-line formation to a Xuanxiang formation suitable for crossbow soldiers in the field.

"Kill ......"

As soon as Li Siyuan's division had completed its formation, the north gate of Quyang City was wide open, and countless people were holding various temporary shields to break through to this side.

"Shoot the arrows!" Li Siyuan commanded unhurriedly, after a round of arrow rain, one or two hundred people were shot, looking at this result Li Siyuan seemed to have expected it, and continued to order, "Quickly retreat five steps back, and shoot again!" ”

After the second wave of arrows, the results were even worse, with only 100 people being hit by arrows, and half of them were still fighting at all.

"Ten steps back and shoot again!" Li Siyuan still calmly gave the order.

After the third round, there were only 100 people who were hit by the arrow, and most of them were still the first to go to the arrows who lost their combat effectiveness.

"Twenty steps back, Glaive Array!"

This glaive array is like the moon in the night sky, it is a relatively common sniper formation, suitable for field use by all arms. It is often divided into two types: the concave moon and the quarter moon, and which one is used depends on the specific situation. And at this moment, what Li Siyuan is putting is a concave moon.

The formation was initially formed, and under the command of Yan Zheng, the Yellow Turban Army had approached about thirty paces.

"Shoot!"

With Li Siyuan's order, five thousand feathered arrows drew a graceful parabola in the air and fell into the Yellow Turban Array. When he landed, he was shot through a lot of makeshift shields by free-fall feathered arrows, killing and injuring the Yellow Turban Warrior.

After two rounds, three or four hundred people had been shot and killed. But after all, there are still 10,000 yellow turbans, and this damage is completely negligible. Therefore, Yan Zheng increased the order to advance.

"Flat shot!" When the distance between the two sides was less than ten paces, Li Siyuan gave the order again and changed the projectile to a flat shot.

This time, hundreds of people were shot to the ground. However, it was precisely with these hundreds of people as cannon fodder that the yellow turbans behind him had already entered Li Siyuan's army formation for less than five steps.

"Spread out, retreat!" In the blink of an eye, the five thousand crossbowmen who had been blocking the Yellow Turban Army all scattered and fled into the woods on both sides of the official road.

As soon as Yan Zheng saw that there was a smooth road ahead, he immediately rejoiced in his heart and ordered: "Move forward quickly, get rid of the official army before tonight!" ”

Soon, the Yellow Turbans left Quyang City behind for miles. Soon after the Yellow Turbans withdrew from Quyang, Quyang City was opened, and Huangfu Song led the army to occupy Quyang without much effort. But when they saw everything in the city, all the generals and uniforms were silent.

"Captain Cao!"

"The last general!" Cao Cao heard the call of Huangfu Song and immediately went out.

"Ordered you to lead the headquarters of 5,000 forest cavalry out of the city immediately to support Liu Chang." Huangfu Song endured his grief and indignation and calmly gave orders.

"No!" Cao Cao received the order repeatedly, and then beckoned five thousand feathers to ride the dust to the north.

"General, the last general is also willing to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to support Liu to join the army." As soon as Cao Cao left, Liu Bei also went out to fight.

Huangfu Song glanced at this person of the same clan and origin as Liu Chang, and then nodded and said, "Go!" ”

"Thank you!" Immediately, Liu Bei led this Guan Zhang and his headquarters of 3,000 Youzhou cavalry (Liu Bei raised troops in Youzhou, originally had 5,000 foot soldiers, and later borrowed Liu Yan's 3,000 Youzhou cavalry), followed by Cao Cao and also went north to the dust.
