Chapter 910 The city gate is lost
When the screams on the city wall sounded, the soldiers and soldiers of Cao who were guarding the gate of Huangxian County were immediately awakened.
Although they were very tired during this time, they could still hear such a loud scream.
After judging a little, the faces of the generals of the Cao army, who were in charge of guarding the city gates, turned green.
Just now, he had a little bit of luck, thinking that it might be his own people who started fighting.
But when he heard the sound of a knife slashing through the flesh above his head, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and that they were not going to take each other's lives.
So now there is only one possibility left, that is, I don't know when, the Jizhou army outside the city actually sent people to touch their own city, and now they are slaughtering those comrades who are guarding the city.
Originally, according to Zhang He's arrangement, their task was to guard the city gate, no matter what kind of emergency they encountered, they would never be allowed to leave their posts without Zhang He's order.
But coincidentally, the captain who led the team to guard the city today was his son, and he was the only male in his family, and he loved this son very much.
Originally, he didn't want his son to join the army, but there are some things you can't just stop doing if you don't want to.
Under Liu Yuan's strong pressure, all men in the family who were between the ages of fourteen and thirty had to send one person to join the army.
Of course, this order is only for ordinary people, and for the henchmen of the lord, this order can be completely ignored.
Even if they send their sons to join the army, they just want their heirs to have more qualifications, so that they can prepare for inheriting the family business or glorifying their ancestors in the future.
And he, a person like him who climbed from a flat-headed ordinary man to a lieutenant step by step, did not have any right to oppose at all, so he could only send his son to the army.
However, he also has some qualifications in Cao's army, although he can't exempt his son from military service, but he can still do it by transferring his son to his side.
So both of them, father and son, came to Zhang He's subordinates on errands, and their sons were quite competitive, and they were promoted to lieutenants because of their merits in less than half a year.
He was happy in his eyes, seeing that his son was getting more and more promising, how could he see the city wall guarded by his son being attacked by the enemy army and ignore it.
So he didn't care about Zhang He's strict order at all, and rushed out of the dark fortress next to the city gate with most of his subordinates, and was going to the city wall to reinforce his son.
But I didn't expect the plans of those Jizhou troops to be so meticulous, they had already sent a team of men and horses to ambush at the gate of the city, waiting for him to lead the team to reinforce the city wall.
And he was really stupid, fell into the trap of the other party, and rushed out of the hidden fortress with most of his subordinates, without the cover of the hidden fortress, they could only fight to the death with each other.
But soon the old lieutenant found out that he and his men were no match for the other side at all, and the other side was above them in terms of numbers and elite.
The helpless old lieutenant could only take out an object from his waist, which was a firework given to him by General Zhang before, so that he could light it in an emergency.
In Zhang He's consciousness, they have a hidden barrier to hide, even if they encounter an invincible enemy, they can use the hidden barrier to drag each other out for a while.
This delay was enough for him to light dozens of such fireworks, but now that he had come out of the dark fortress by himself, it was tantamount to giving up the protection of the dark base.
When he just took out the fireworks on his waist, there were already Jizhou soldiers staring at him.
Wait until he just used his other hand. As he was about to get the fire breaker, a white feathered arrow pierced his chest.
The old lieutenant screamed and fell to the ground and died, and his death further exacerbated the defeat of Cao's army at the city gate.
Soon, the Cao army at the city gate was cleared by the soldiers of the Jizhou army.
At the same time, the battle on the city wall also came to an end, and now only a small group of Cao soldiers remained, surrounded and killed in a corner by Jizhou soldiers who were several times larger than them.
And the rest of the city wall, there is no longer any Cao soldier who can stand up, after seeing this scene, the Jizhou general who led the team rushed to the gallows directly above the city gate.
I saw a cold light flash, and the hemp rope on the gallows, which was the thickness of the baby's forearm, was cut, and the drawbridge guarding the real city gate fell down heavily.
Then the Jizhou general who led the team took a torch from the battlements and spared it three times, and soon a large number of black shadows appeared outside the city.
Those black shadows were Ma Chao and his subordinates who had been ambushing outside for most of the night, and Ma Chao felt extremely excited at this time.
I thought it was a risky strategy, but I didn't expect it to be a real success!
When the subordinates he sent did not make a movement after entering Huang County for a quarter of an hour, Ma Chao even had the idea of giving up.
Because if the city defense of Huang County was really according to what Liu Ye said, the city should have already been in a piece.
But his men had been in the city for almost a quarter of an hour, and the city was still silent.
Could it be that the subordinates he sent didn't even make a movement, and they were cleaned up by the Cao army in the city?
This is simply an incredible thing, and the soldiers who were singled out to participate in this sneak attack are all good hands in his army.
If such a group of people and horses are silently cleaned up by the other party, then he really has no good way to take Huang County, so he can only wait for the arrival of the lord before making a decision.
And now the place where they are ambushing is very dangerous, once the other party knows from the mouths of those they have sent out that they will lead people to ambush in the dark shadows outside the city, then it only takes a rain of arrows to cause great losses to their own side.
So Ma Chao already had the idea of wanting to evacuate just now, but he didn't expect that just when he was about to give the order, a signal of a successful sneak attack came from the head of the city.
In addition, the suspension bridge and the city gate were both opened, and Ma Chao bit his steel teeth at that time.
Now even if the other party is really the one who has cleaned up the team he sent out, and has also laid a trap in a calculated manner, he will not flinch in the slightest.
After all, Huang County is the most difficult bone he has ever encountered, once he misses this opportunity, it will be difficult to find the same opportunity next time!
So once the city gate was opened, even if it was a sea of swords and fires, he had to break through, thinking of this, Ma Chao turned over and ordered to start charging.
Under his leadership, a large number of Jizhou soldiers lying in the darkness stood up, and then they began to rush to the gate of the black hole with their own general.
At the same time, Zhang He, who had just been lying down, had just learned that the east gate of Huangxian County had been attacked by a sneak attack.
At that time, Zhang He felt dizzy for a while, but even so, he still made a judgment in the shortest time:
He must immediately lead the army to the east gate, and he must guard the east gate!
And at the same time, send a team of 1,000 people to the armory, take out the boxwood crossbows stored there, and once the east gate is lost, it will be time for those boxwood crossbows to play!
