Once the old nest was ended, Yuan Xi could not capture Liyang in front of him, and then he was homeless, and his army of 30,000 would inevitably collapse without a fight, and Zhang Yuan would remove the threat of the flank without much effort. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In addition to Zhang Yuan himself, only Li Si and Touch Long, these two henchmen and strategists, knew about this strategy, even if it was a top general like Li Cunxiao, he didn't know it before he set out on the expedition, let alone an ordinary soldier.

Zhang Yuan did this, naturally, to keep it secret and prevent Yuan Xi from getting the news in advance and returning to Yuan Yuan in advance.

Now, Yuan Xi has been led out of the Yuanyuan from afar, racing against time to seize the Zhangcheng Pavilion Zhangcheng, even if he knows Zhang Yuan's true purpose at this time, he can't rush back to the Yuanyuan with Zhang Yuan's light riding speed, so naturally there is no need to hide it anymore.

"It turns out that this is Zhou Gong's true intention, and it is really a move." Li Cunxiao suddenly realized and looked at Zhang Yuan in surprise.

Zhang Yuan smiled, and urged the knights who also suddenly realized that they all got on their horses and set off again.

Zhang Yuan knew very well that Yuan Xi was very careful about himself, and he would definitely be densely packed with scouts on the way south of his troops in advance, so as to reconnoiter the movements of his army at any time.

At this moment, as soon as he changed direction, Zhang immediately had the enemy army to report his latest movements to Yuan Xi.

All Zhang Yuan had to do was to immediately change his route, rush to Chengyuan County before Yuan Xi learned the real target of his trip, and take the Chengyuan City in one fell swoop.

The iron cavalry of the 6,000 Zhou army did not hesitate at all, as iron-blooded soldiers, they did not need to use their brains, all they had to do was unconditional obedience.

The light cavalry traveled hundreds of miles in a day, and after three days, they arrived at the northern border of Gongyuan County.

Zhang Yuan once again ordered a diversion to the south, all the way to the north gate of the city.

Zhang Yuan knew that Yuan Xi still had a deputy general Jiao Touch, who led 3,000 soldiers and horses to stay behind, and was also guarding against the surprise attack of the Zhou army.

It's just that even if Jiao Touch is on guard, it will only prevent the Zhou army from attacking from the west, and he would never have dreamed that Zhang Yuan would go around in a big circle and suddenly kill from the north.

Zhang Yuan was caught off guard when he wanted to kill him.

Xing crossed the Qing River, passed through several valleys, and the terrain in front of him was Xing Chengtan, and the speed of the cavalry was also accelerated.

When the remnant sun was slanting to the west, Zhang Yuan turned over a small mound, and in front of him, a towering city finally came into his field of vision.

Castle.

This Chengyuan County Administration is quietly bathing in the sunshine of the west at the moment, and is about to throw itself into the arms of the night, but it doesn't know that a few miles away, a group of tigers and wolves have shown their hideous teeth to it.

"It's finally here...... Zhang Yuan smiled, and the killing intent of the hunt was burning rapidly in his eyes.

The knights of the six thousand Zhou Army behind him, although their faces were tired, they could not suppress the excitement and killing intent in their eyes.

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, pointed his sword forward, and roared: "My warriors of the iron cavalry, see no, the city of Chengyuan is in front of you, the enemy army is unprepared, go into the city with me, copy Yuan Xi's nest, the wine and meat in the treasury, you can eat enough." ”

After a long-distance attack, the soldiers are tired, and at this time, the temptation of heavy rewards must be used to motivate the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

"Fight for the Duke of Zhou, and follow me to the enemy city." Li Cunxiao slipped a golden lance, like a golden lightning, and galloped out.

The iron cavalry soldiers who had been aroused to their greed were swept away from exhaustion, and their blood boiled in an instant, like hungry beasts, burst out and rushed towards the city overwhelmingly.

……

At the head of the city, the guard Jiao Touch was humming a little song, lazily walking on the wall of the north gate.

He was at the north gate, not because he was guarding the north gate, but just patrolling the city for a week as usual, in fact, more than half of the soldiers in the city were on the west gate.

From the point of view of Jiao Touch, far away from the main battlefield, it is possible to go and sit back without worry, even if there is a threat, it may be from Ximen.

Standing at the head of the city, looking at the sunset in the west, he sighed helplessly, and complained in his mouth: "If the second prince can capture Liyang, it will be equivalent to making immortal achievements, and the generals who went with him will inevitably be promoted one by one, but unfortunately I was left to defend the city, and there is no way to share some credit......"

Anxious and melancholy sighed, obviously not satisfied with defending the city, this "idleness" in his eyes.

The sun is about to sink in the west, and the city patrol is over, and Jiao Touch has been thinking about returning to the tent quickly, drinking a few glasses of wine, and finding a few Mei Ji to have fun and pass this boring time.

And just as he turned around and was about to go down to the city, suddenly his ears moved slightly, as if he heard something.

The general's instinct made him turn around and return to the battlements, listening with his ears pricked up, and looking to the north.

The voice came from the north.

Looking into the distance, at the end of the avenue, faintly, there is a wild dust, which is rolling towards the north gate.

Jiao Touch's body shook slightly, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.

As a military general, he could naturally see that that kind of dust and mist was not formed naturally, but could only be lifted by the galloping of soldiers and horses.

"The soldiers and horses of the second prince are all in the west, and which way will the soldiers and horses in the north come to the plain,"

When the fox was puzzled, the dust and mist came and went, and the originally subtle sound evolved into a loud sound like the sky and the earth cracking.

In the dust and mist, countless iron horses, ghost soldiers who came out of hell in the dark, gloomy and solemn, and on the dark banner that greeted the flying and proudly danced, there was a word "Zhou" written on it.

"Yes...... It's Zhou Jun,. ”

There was a thud in the skull of Jiao Touch, and his face was instantly stunned, and endless terror hit his trembling body.

Shouldn't the main force of Zhang Yuan's army be attacking Ancheng, seven or eight hundred miles away?

Even if Zhang Yuan wants to divide his troops to deal with the second son of his family, he should go to the pavilion to block it, how can he appear in Chengyuan City.

Moreover, it is not the West Gate, but the North Gate.

The countless iron horsemen outside the city, numbering 6,000 people, did not have any prior report from Ren Zhong, and they were killed in front of the city like divine soldiers descending from the sky.

Jiao touched his forehead, the big beads of sweat rushed out, countless questions churned in his mind, and the whole person instantly fell into a panic.

Six thousand iron horsemen have taken advantage of this kung fu and attacked wildly.

"Quick, go and ask the second son for help, and then transfer all the soldiers and horses from the West Gate to the North Gate." Jiao Touch, who originally wanted to participate in the war and make meritorious contributions, panicked at this time, and screamed hoarse and panicked.

There are only less than 200 soldiers on the front line of the north gate, how can they withstand the attack of dozens of times the Zhou army, and only by transferring all the troops as soon as possible can Jiao Touch have a chance to hold the city.

Unfortunately, he was one step too late.

"Zhou Gong is like a god, and the defenders are really defenseless." Li Cunxiao pointed his gun at the few panicked and defenseless soldiers in the enemy city, and shouted excitedly.
