However, Zhang Hua seemed to think that Ma Jia's army had withdrawn, and when Ma Zongheng's deployment was hidden, there was no trace of his army scouts.

After that, Cheng Gongying ordered the soldiers of the army to rest and recuperate, but he sent sentries to take turns to guard them tightly.

At this time, Ma Zongheng had roughly understood Cheng Gongying's plan, but he was not in a hurry to ask. After the rest of the people for the night, the next morning Ma Zongheng summoned the people to the general to take matters into the tent.

"This place is dozens of miles away from the Badge Road, and even if you are in a hurry to send troops, it will take half a day. What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the successful counselor!? Pound was still too young to see what was going on, so he asked urgently.

Cheng Gongying was obedient, smiled indifferently, and said unhurriedly: "Don't be anxious, I have my own clever plan." These days, I also ask the two generals to closely monitor the deployment of their own troops, and never move around lightly, I have ordered the sentries around me, but if you see suspicious characters, they will all be killed! ”

Pound was obedient, his face was stunned, and he was about to ask again. At this time, Jiang Jian pulled him and arched his hand: "I understand, Cheng Gong Staff can rest assured." ”

"Okay, please go out and arrange it first." Cheng Gongying gave a salute without humility or arrogance, Jiang Jian was obedient, and as soon as he arched his hand, he pulled Pang De, who seemed to have something to ask, but he couldn't ask, and he was so anxious that he screamed and left.

Ma Zongheng sat peacefully on the upper seat, watching Cheng Gongying transfer. At this time, he saw Cheng Gongying turn around, smiled at Yuwen Changyou, and said: "If you want to take the Dao, Patriarch Yuwen is the key, I wonder if Patriarch Yuwen is willing to help me and wait?" ”

Yuwen Changyou changed color, suddenly felt his heart tighten, and suddenly had a creepy feeling.

Two days later, Yan Xing led his troops to the west gate of the Qiangdao more than ten miles away, looked at the lips and teeth in the distance, grinned and said with a hideous smile: "Hmph, I hope this time I can try the taste of blood." ”

After saying that, Yan Xing's face turned cold, and he turned around and instructed the soldiers around him: "The whole army will camp in place, rest for a day, and start tomorrow to storm the Qidao!" ”

At the same time, Zhang Hua also learned from the scouts who returned that Yan Xing had led his troops outside the city, and was busy discussing with the generals, but all the generals were afraid of Yan Xing's courage and advised them to defend the city. Zhang Hua was furious when he saw that the generals had no intention of fighting, and everyone was scolded angrily, so he retreated.

The day passed, and the next morning, as soon as the rising sun had risen, Yan Xing led his troops to look at the murderous spirit. Just listen, the shouts shook the sky, the murderous aura was like a rainbow, and the thieves on the West Gate City were all timid. Zhang Hua learned that Yan Xing had led troops to attack, and hurriedly led the generals to rush to the city.

When Zhang Hua arrived, Yan Xing had already set up a position outside the city. Yan Xing, who was wearing a pair of ghostly black armor, rode out of the battle, pointed at the city with a hawk's beak steel spear in his hand, and shouted: "I am Jincheng Yan Xing, and now I am on the order of my Jincheng Taishou, and I have come to kill thieves." The thieves in the city listen, and quickly offer the city, otherwise when the city gate is broken, there will be no place to die!! ”

Yan Xing's last sentence rushed with murderous aura, and all the generals in the city were afraid. Zhang Hua swallowed his spittle, anxious to shake his spirit, pointed at Yan Xing and scolded: "Yan Yanming, everyone in Xiliang is afraid of you, but I, Zhang Hua, am not afraid!" The court is mediocre, and you weren't a thief before the Jincheng Taishou!? Now it's aiding and abusive, which is really shameful~~!! ”

"Hahahaha~~!! Without further ado, do you dare to fight me!? Yan Xing laughed when he heard this, and pointed his spear at Zhang Hua and shouted.

Zhang Hua's eyes widened with anger, but he didn't dare to fight with Yan Xing, and said hurriedly: "Whoever dares to give me this person's head, I will reward me with three hundred taels of gold~~!" ”

In order to deal with Yan Xing, Zhang Hua did not hesitate to spend his blood, and three hundred taels of gold was enough for ordinary people to squander most of their lives. For a while, beside Zhang Hua, there was a lot of heavy breathing.

"The king is not worried~~!! Look at me Zhang Hu Shihe to take down the head of this murderer~~!! A burly man roared suddenly. Zhang Hua was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered Zhang Hu to fight.

When he was young, at the opening of the city gate, Zhang Hu carried a pair of sledgehammers and rode out of the horse. When Yan Xing saw Zhang Hu killing, he only showed a sneer, patted the horse, sat down, and the black horse suddenly flew up. Between the lightning and flint, seeing the two of them handing over suddenly, Zhang Hu roared, and danced a pair of big hammers and swung vigorously, but Yan Xing was extremely sensitive, after dodging Zhang Hu's repeated attacks, the eagle's beak steel spear suddenly rushed together, like a flying lightning rush, Zhang Hu did not react, the door burst open, Yan Xing immediately pulled the spear, and instantly pierced Zhang Hu's heart, and actually lifted the corpse weighing more than 200 catties, and threw it off the horse.

There was a burst of sand and dust, and the city was silent. Everyone was stunned by Yan Xing's brutal methods.

"Jumping clown, come to some good goods~~!!" Yan Xing shouted towards the city, but there were still those who were not afraid of death who had already prepared under the city. As soon as Yan Xing's words fell, another thief came out with a knife. The cold light in Yan Xing's eyes flashed, and he rushed on his horse, and as soon as the thief general lifted the knife, he was pierced into the center by Yan Xing with a spear, screamed, flew with the spear, and fell off the horse. Yan Xing did not rein in his horse, but rushed towards the city gate single-handedly.

"Hurry~~!! Stop this murderer~~!! Zhang Hua in the city looked pale, and really thought that Yan Xing could take down the city gate by himself, and shouted urgently.

Fortunately, there were two thieves waiting under the city gate, listening to the shouts from the city, one left and one right hurriedly killed.

"Just a rat, how dare you stop me~~!! Looking for death~~!! Yan Xing roared violently, and met the two thieves, and the three horses joined together, spears and spears flew, and the killing was fierce for a while. Before it was even Shihe, one thief would be swept away by Yan Xing with a spear, and the other would be so frightened that he threw the gun in his hand and fled. However, he was caught up by Yan Xingxu and pierced his back with a spear. The soldiers under the city gate were so frightened that they couldn't even see if the two soldiers were dead, so they hurriedly closed the city gate.

Yan Xing reined in the horses, his whole face was dyed red with blood, and raised his spear and shouted: "I am bound to win, and if you don't wait, I will attack it~~!! ”

As soon as Yan Xing's shouts fell, the soldiers immediately rushed to fight, and the shield bearers rushed to the front, each raising their shields, and the infantry in the rear each lifted the ladder and pressed towards the city. Zhang Hua saw that the enemy soldiers suddenly launched an offensive, and he was in a state of confusion for a while, until the enemy soldiers pressed under the city, he reacted, and hurriedly ordered to release arrows. However, Yan Xing's deployment had already set up a shield array to block the falling arrows, and as soon as the arrows in the city stopped, the crossbowmen under the city immediately pulled their bows and arrows and shot towards the city. Several thieves were shot dead on the spot and fell to the city. Zhang Hua was so frightened that he hugged his head and ran away, and the generals hurriedly supported the retreat.

"Release the arrow, release the arrow quickly~~!!" Zhang Hua hissed and shouted, the crossbowmen in the city were also shot dead a lot just now, and now listening to Zhang Hua's roar, he hurriedly loaded his arrows and shot towards the city. The two armies shot at each other, and although the thieves had the advantage of the city, they were shot and wounded a lot because of the chaos in the formation. Seeing this, Yan Xing hurriedly ordered the infantry to press the cloud ladder to kill, and the thieves reacted and hurriedly threw the wooden rolling stones to the city.

So the two armies fought fiercely for a day, each with losses, until dusk, when Yan Xing ordered the withdrawal of troops. Seeing that the city was full of corpses, among them were thieves who died more. In this battle, Yan Xingjun lost hundreds, but Zhang Hua lost nearly five or six hundred people. Although Zhang Hua had more troops, after this battle, all the soldiers were timid, and Zhang Hua was worried.

After a night, Yan Xing led his troops to kill again, and this time he didn't say anything about it, and he rushed forward. When the thieves in the city were timid and afraid of battle, Yan Xing's sword and shield men had already rushed to the city and set up a shield array. Before the crossbowmen of the thieves in the city could fire, the crossbowmen under the city pulled their bows and shot arrows one step earlier, and a rain of arrows flew towards the city, and the thieves were shot in chaos. When Zhang Hua saw this battle situation, he was furious, and asked who under his command dared to lead his troops out of the city to disperse the shield soldiers under the city, but all the generals were afraid of Yan Xing, and no one dared to respond. Zhang Hua was a little more courageous than his brother, and in a fit of anger, he personally led his troops out of the city to kill. How do you know that Yan Xing has already prepared, as soon as the city gate is opened, he leads the cavalry to look at the city gate and enter. Zhang Hua was shocked, and hurriedly led troops to resist desperately, and a group of thieves saw it, and hurriedly came to the aid and desperately rescued Zhang Hua. Yan Xing killed three or four thief generals and captured countless thieves. Just when Zhang Hua escaped, several waves of death squads on the other side had already taken the ladder to kill the city, and the thieves were in chaos, and some people were even more frightened and fled, pushing each other and killing and injuring countless people. After a day of hard fighting, the thieves had lost nearly 2,000 people, but Yan Xing's command had lost only 500, and they became more and more brave the more they fought.

"If you don't sacrifice the city tomorrow, you will definitely die~~!!" Under the dusk, Yan Xing, who was covered in pitch-black armor and stained blood-red, left this threatening sentence and led his troops to withdraw.

Zhang Hua and his thieves listened to it, and they were all frightened, and Zhang Qing's death, under the repeated blows, many people secretly disagreed.

That night, Yan Xing returned to the camp. All the generals praised Yan Xing's bravery, and the capture of the Badge Road was just around the corner. One of the generals hesitated for a while, but still asked: "General, but if that Zhang Hua still resists stubbornly tomorrow, I am afraid that with the strength of our army, it will still be difficult to break through for a while." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yan Xing's face suddenly changed, and the soldier was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty. Yan Xing smiled coldly and said, "Hmph, how can I not know such a simple truth, but a few days ago, I received a secret letter from Yuwen Changyou, and there was only one line in the letter, that is, 'Storm for three days, there will be changes in the city'." If my guess is correct, he wants to rely on the power of our army's strong attack to deter those thieves, and then find an opportunity to cause a mutiny. ”

Yan Xing said, and everyone suddenly woke up. At this time, there was another general, frowning and saying: "Having said that, why is it rare to see Qiang soldiers in the city these days?" And the last general didn't see Yuwen Changyou's figure. ”

The soldier once had secret contact with Yuwen Changyou, but he knew him. When Yan Xing heard this, he glared fiercely, slapped the case violently, and scolded: "Such an urgent matter, why didn't you say it earlier!?" ”

Seeing that Yan Xing was angry, the soldier knew that he was moody, and feared that he would be poisoned, so he hurriedly walked out and knelt down, begging for mercy: "The general is angry." The little one remembered it for a while. However, in the small impression, Yuwen Changyou is extremely cautious, thinking that he is afraid of meeting us and showing his feet. Or maybe that Zhang Hua heard that Lord Taishou was friendly with the Qiang people, and in order to prevent him from changing, he and his deployment were transferred to other city gates to guard!! ”

When Yan Xing heard this, the fierce color on his face gradually faded, and he snorted coldly: "It's better to be like this, otherwise I'll only ask you!" ”

The soldier was obedient and regretted, so he could only pray secretly in his heart that Yuwen Changyou must not have an accident, otherwise he would not die well.

At the same time, on the other side. I'm afraid that Zhang Hua and Yan Xing never expected that in a hidden place surrounded by trees dozens of miles east of the Dao, there were thousands of soldiers stationed here. In the past few days, in accordance with Cheng Gongying's orders, the armies have accumulated their strength and sharpened, and at the same time, they have built nearly dozens of ladders based on local materials. Jiang, Pang and other generals didn't know what Cheng Gongying's strategy was, and they were all anxious when they heard that Yan Xing was attacking the west gate of the Qiangdao in the past two days. On the contrary, it was Cheng Gongying, who would laugh and applaud whenever he heard the fierce battle in the Qiangdao.

This night, Ma Zongheng once again summoned Jiang and Pang to the tent, Jiang and Pang had just entered the account, but they saw Cheng Gongying's smile and seemed to have been waiting for a long time. On the contrary, Ma Zongheng had a leisurely look, sitting calmly on the upper seat.

"What is your strategy, Cheng Gong, tell me quickly, I'm about to break my scalp these days!!" As soon as Pound saw Cheng Gongying, he asked with a bitter face. Jiang Yin's eyes were shining, and he also looked at Cheng Gongying tightly.

Cheng Gongying smiled indifferently and said unhurriedly: "General Pang, don't worry, tomorrow will be revealed, teach the two generals to come tonight, and have special orders." After tomorrow, the road will belong to our army. ”
