When the order was passed, the whole army was solemn, and more than 10,000 soldiers clenched their weapons and armor, and their hearts were fierce. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The sound of killing shook the sky, the drums shattered, and in the blink of an eye, the five thousand Huainan troops had swept up like a tide and entered the range of bows and crossbows.

Zhang Yuan shouted without hesitation: "Shake the order flag and send a signal to Hua Rong." ”

In the Central Military Department, the red order flag shook like the wind, directly camping the enemy outside the position.

Hua Rong, who was stationed in front of the horse camp, did not have the slightest expression on his face, and only shouted in a low voice, "Crossbowman, release arrows".

The five hundred crossbowmen lined up behind the barracks quickly shot their long-held crossbow arrows, and the five hundred sharp arrows burst through the air, cutting through arcs and falling towards the rushing enemy.

With only 500 crossbowmen, the striking surface formed by it is really limited, and most of the Huainan army are sword and shield hands, and the round shield effectively protects against the arrow attack, and the enemy who shoots the arrow in a round is only more than 100.

"Speed up the charge." Zhang Xun, who was mixed in the formation, waved his knife and shouted.

With a shout, the five thousand sword and shield men suddenly quickened their pace, and after a round of crossbow arrows, they had rushed to the front of the camp a hundred paces.

"Archer, release the arrows!" Hua Rong let out another low shout.

A thousand feather arrows rose into the air again, roaring towards the enemy, the protection of the round shield was limited after all, and now the density of arrows has increased, and the killing effect has also increased greatly, and more than 100 Huainan soldiers were shot to the ground on the spot in an instant.

However, the crossbowmen could not stop the large number of Huainan troops after all, and under Zhang Xun's reprimand, the five thousand Huaidi troops rushed wildly against the rain of arrows, and soon rushed close to the camp wall.

The bow and crossbow are no longer useful, and it is time for the real sword and the real gun to do it.

Zhang Yuan was still as calm as water, as steady as Mount Tai, and waved his sword and shouted: "Send another signal to Li Dingguo, telling him to lead the spear and halberd to resist the enemy, and never allow any enemy soldiers to rush into the camp." ”

The flag shook again, and Li Dingguo, who was shirtless in front, saw the signal, threw half of the leg of mutton in his hand, and shouted: "All his grandmother's to Lao Tzu on top, who dares to take half a step back, Lao Tzu's pig-killing knife will not be merciful." ”

In the thunderous roar, thousands of halberders shouted in his shouting, one after another large halberders were erected layer upon layer, forming an iron wall in the camp fence, and the halberd spears of nearly two people in the back poked out from the gaps in the shields, forming a forest of sharp blades, shining with cold light like the fangs of death.

In an instant, 5,000 Huainan troops had rushed forward, with a round shield in front of them in one hand and a spear in the other, trying to tear through the outer defense line.

Zhang Xun also pressed the formation, so that the whole army was pressed down like a tide, and urged the Huainan sergeant to cut off the antlers like crazy.

In a short time, two of the triple antlers have been broken, and the situation is critical.

Zhang Yuan's brows finally furrowed.

He realized that he had underestimated the enemy's ability to attack fortifications, he originally wanted to rely on the strength of the camp and easily resist the enemy army, but he did not expect this enemy army to be so able to fight, seeing that the antlers were about to be destroyed, and the impregnable fortifications of the camp would soon be torn apart.

Zhang Yuan knew that as long as a hole was torn, these thousands of enemy troops, plus more than 10,000 main forces of Liu Bao who were sweeping the formation, poured in from the gap, and with the troops at hand, they could not be blocked at all.

The defeat seems to have been revealed.

"Lord, the enemy's offensive is too fierce, I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold it, it's better to abandon the camp and return to the West River, and it is the best policy to resist the city and hold on." Zudi, who came galloping on horseback, shouted, and even he saw that the situation was not good.

Zhang Yuan's expression was shocked, and he immediately shook his head: "If we retreat to the West River, Liu Bao will be able to enter the hinterland of Taiyuan, attack the city and plunder the land to scavenge for grain and grass, our delaying tactics will be useless, and we must not abandon the camp." ”

"But the enemy's offensive is too fierce, and if Liu Bao's main force also presses on it, we will be even more unable to resist." Zudi's eyebrows condensed.

Zhang Yuan raised his eyes and looked into the distance, but saw more than 10,000 main forces under Liu Bao's command, and although the drums shook the sky, there was no sign of launching a full-scale attack.

"Liu Bao is borrowing a knife to kill people, and the cavalry will fight back and kill it, and it will definitely be able to turn the situation around." Gao Gong, who has been only drinking alcohol, suddenly burst out with such a sentence.

When Zu Di heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised.

At this time, it is difficult to defend the capital, how can it still fight back, isn't it that he took the initiative to open a gap for the enemy, if Liu Bao took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill.

Zhang Yuan gave Gao Gong such a cold sentence as a wake-up call, and then swept towards the enemy, and found that it was Zhang Xun's Huainan army that attacked, and Liu Bao's descendants did not participate.

His thoughts flickered, Zhang Yuan suddenly realized, and a sarcastic sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, "The high drunkard is right, General Zu, I order you to open the camp at the rate of five hundred iron cavalry and attack the enemy. ”

Zu Di was taken aback, and coughed several times, "Lord, what if our army opens the camp and Liu Bao takes advantage of the situation to cover up and kill?" ”

Zhang Yuan's long sword pointed at Liu Bao's main force in the distance, and sneered: "Liu Bao and Yuan Shu, the two must be inseparable, Yuan Shu sent these five thousand soldiers and horses to help, in fact, they must be pinning down Liu Bao." Liu Bao is not stupid, you don't see that Zhang Xun has an advantage, but he doesn't have the slightest intention of reinforcements, he obviously wants to get rid of Zhang Xun with our hands, don't worry, just kill it. ”

Zu Di was stunned for a moment, then understood, couldn't help laughing, and said proudly: "Lord, you just sit for a while, and wait for the old man to cut off Zhang Xun's dog head." ”

Zhang Yuan was also excited, but he didn't forget to tell Zu Di that it was best to catch it alive, since Wang Fang and Sun Qian were missing, his ATM was less, and he needed to be supplemented by Zhang Xun who came to the door.

"The last general will obey, and I will go." Zu Di smiled proudly, set his horse up, galloped in the camp, and gathered five hundred iron horsemen to line up.

The five hundred iron horses that have been gathering momentum for a long time are Zhang Yuan's killer weapon, and they have been gathering momentum for a long time at this moment, and their bloodshot eyes are bursting with hunting and killing machines.

Zu Di glanced at them, his voice was like a bell, and he said sharply: "Iron cavalry soldiers, success or failure is in this move, fight for the lord, and kill with the old man!" ”

In the majestic roar, Zudi pulled his horse and danced his spear and killed towards the camp gate.

"Kill—"

In the earth-shattering sound of killing, the blood of the five hundred knights boiled, and the iron horses flew like flying, and they struck out.

The foot soldiers at the gate of the camp, braving the rain of arrows, opened the gate of the camp with difficulty.

The veteran Zudi took the lead, and the spear danced into an iron curtain, and killed with a long roar.

At this time, the Huainan army outside the camp had cut down the last heavy deer, and several enemy soldiers had rushed to the front of the camp with a big shield, intending to jump over the trench and break through the camp in one fell swoop, making the first contribution to breaking the camp.

Zhang Xun was also full of confidence, thinking that he had raised the prestige of Yuan Shu in this battle, and scolded his subordinates to concentrate on the camp gate.

At the critical moment, Zhang Xun and his subordinates were surprised to see that the gate that was originally closed did not need them to attack, but opened it by itself.

"What's going on, could it be that Zhang Yuan's kid still dares to defend and not be able to attack? Isn't he afraid that Liu Bao will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill? ”

Zhang Xun was shocked in his heart, and when he was surprised and puzzled, he saw that at the gate of the camp that was wide open, the first member of the veteran, who had white hair, danced a war knife in his hand, and slaughtered like a god descending from the earth.

The knife in his hand fell, and in an instant, several Huainan soldiers outside the camp gate were lifted into the air and smashed.

"Zudi is here, those who stand in my way, kill!"

With a thunderous roar, Zudi rode his horse like the wind, and under the shocked gaze of countless double enemy soldiers, he struck out like a violent wind, and the spear of cold light flowed mercilessly at those unprepared enemies.

Five hundred iron horsemen then came out, like a mud flow that broke the embankment, and ran unstoppably towards the enemy. (To be continued.) )
