19. That's the magic of the devil

Giant Deer City.

Since Wen Chou set out on the expedition, Zhang He has been very depressed, not that he has any opinion on Wen Chou's scheduling, since Yuan Shao appointed Wen Chou as the commander, then he must obey unconditionally. Regarding the matter of guarding Julu City, Zhang He himself has no resistance, and besides, he has just suffered a defeat, and it is normal to be demoted. What he couldn't figure out was that the halberds of his heavy helmet regiment were crippled alive in this battle, and the eight hundred halberds were either captured or killed, and those who could escape back were all wounded. One thing that surprised Zhang He was that the injuries of the Euphorbia were all internal injuries, all of which were caused by the internal organs being shaken out of place, or the ribs being broken. The opponent's sharpshooter guard, how much explosive power does it take, and how much power does it have to shine into such a killing effect? This made Zhang He more and more frightened the more he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, if there were a few more people like He Chen, there would be no need to fight this battle, and he would have surrendered and admitted defeat directly.

Now the defense line of Julu City is extremely fragile, and there are only three thousand people who really have combat effectiveness, and most of them are still wounded. If it weren't for the news, Yuan Shaozhong's 150,000 horses would arrive in about seven days, and the vanguard Yuan Shang's 20,000 horses would arrive in Julu in about two days, and Zhang He really couldn't sleep well. Although he, like everyone else, thought that He Chen's main force had already moved south, he wanted to start besieging Yecheng with Wei Yan's "Hurricane Army", striving to break the city in a short time, so as to take root in southern Hebei and open the door to northern invasion.

"General, you haven't rested yet, have you?"

It was the first shift time, and the entire Julu City was extremely peaceful, only the sound of the wind blowing the flags and hula, the sound of the night patrol soldiers from time to time, and the occasional sound of horses tearing and sneezing.

The torches lit on the city wall illuminated the figures of the people who came, and the faces were red in the night.

"It turned out to be Zijing, you are still patrolling at night so late?" Zhang He is very satisfied and praised this deputy, not only is he serious and meticulous, but also has a very profound view of the situation and the current situation.

"The general forgot? Yesterday, you just handed over the responsibility of defending the city to your subordinates? He said respectfully.

Zhang He patted his head lightly, and said with a smile: "Look at what you have done in the past two days, hey......"

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, the general does not need to be annoyed, the battle with the state side has just begun, I am afraid that some of this battle will be fought, the general should rest early, and there will be a chance for revenge in the future." Although he is strong, he also knows the workaround of doing things, and after saying this, Zhang He's face was obviously relaxed.

"Zijing, you should tell me, He Chen's "Divine Sword Guard" cooperates with the "Divine Spear Guard", a heavy shield, an iron spear, one defense and one attack, the formation conversion is extremely skillful, and it is a heavily armored army, how can you break their defense line? And then defeat them? ”

Zhao was silent for a while before he said softly: "Does the general want to listen to the truth or listen to the lie?" ”

Zhang He's spirit tightened, and he casually motioned for the guards to retreat, and then he said: "I have always regarded Zijing as my right-hand man, and I will say what you think." ”

Zhao nodded, and then said, "My subordinates have been thinking about this issue for the past few days. After thinking about it, I found a strange phenomenon......"

"What phenomenon?" Zhang He hurriedly asked.

"Whether He Chen broke the Xianbei cavalry, or defeated the Euphorbia a few days ago, the advantages of He Chen's several special troops were first based on the heavy shield foot soldiers." The lead began to be analyzed in a cocoon.

"That's right, as far as the current situation in hand, He Chen has a divine sword guard, which is the main defense of the heavy shield; There is a sharpshooter guard, which is the main attack of the iron spear; There are close maid soldiers, with throwing knives to master short and medium ranges. The Iron Cavalry Commander broke the formation, no matter how it was matched, the important surname of the heavy shield infantry was undoubted. Zhang Hexiang didn't want to answer. Although the answer is correct, there is no doubt that it is still far behind in terms of intelligence systems.

"Has the general ever thought about how this divine sword guard formed a shield array? And why can this shield array be as stable as Mount Tai? Even if the crazy impact of the Xianbei cavalry and the halberd warriors still can't shake Sihao? "Pulling the move finally leads the conversation to the core issue.

The battle scene of that night flew through Zhang He's mind like a movie, and the clear scene seemed to be happening right in front of him. Suddenly, Zhang He suddenly came to his senses, and then slapped his palm on the battlements, exclaiming: "Shield land." ”

Zhao Zhao followed closely and said solemnly: "Exactly." At this point, the subordinates are extremely strange, how did He Chen's shield soldiers insert the big shield into the earth? And can it be inserted so deeply? Otherwise, the impact of the cavalry would not have been able to break through this shield, but the result was that the 20,000 cavalry of Xianbei were annihilated under this shield array, and the general's halberd soldiers suffered the first major defeat since the establishment of the system. ”

"You mean to say that as long as you lead the shield soldiers to the battlefield full of hard rocks underground, the opponent's heavy shield will not be able to penetrate the ground, and the advantages of the shield array will not be able to be brought into play?" Zhang He obviously grasped the key to it, and said a little hurriedly.

"That's how it should be." He nodded slowly.

"Tara, Tara......"

"What sound?" At the same time, the two of them felt a sound that seemed to be nothing, coming from a distance, rippling in the air, which made people feel chest tightness and depression.

Zhang He's hand that had not yet been withdrawn on the battlements could clearly feel the tremors, even if the sensation was slight, but it still could not escape his perception.

"It's cavalry."

Zhao Zhao was a little shocked and looked up into the distance, even if it was the moonlight, it was still black, and he couldn't see anything.

"Not only cavalry, but also in great numbers." Zhang He's face turned a little blue.

"The cavalry led by Yuan Gongzi came over early?" Thinking of a possibility, he said with surprise on his face.

"Wrong, if it was Yuan Sangongzi, he should have walked through the West Gate or the North Gate, and it would never have come from the East and South Gates." Zhang He's voice finally trembled a little, and even said with reluctance and despair.

Shocked, the two generals looked at each other, and each saw that the other's faces instantly turned extremely pale. At the same time, the two thought of a possibility, that is, he fell for He Chen's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, he took advantage of the opportunity of Wen Chou's main army to go south, and secretly killed Julu City, Zhang He's face suddenly showed a bitter smile, and it was so lonely under the firelight.

The sound of thunder grew louder and louder, and then it felt like a cloud of black clouds, moving undulating in the night, like a wind blowing through a wheat field, and the ears of wheat undulated. Soon, the sound of muffled thunder turned into the sound of horses' hooves, and they rushed towards Julu City at high speed.

"Immediately blow the horn and everyone is ready to fight." Zhang Hemeng turned around and shouted.

The poignant sound of the horn of "Woo Woo Woo ......", accompanied by the sound of iron hooves like a storm, began to flutter in the sky above Julu City. The quiet ancient city became agitated in an instant, the footsteps of the soldiers, the shouts of the commanders, in the chaotic sounds, came from afar.

"Zijing, a few days ago, I found out that He Chen's main army appeared in the Guangping area and went south, even if they turned back, there must be news in return. But since He Chen avoided the scouts and came to attack the city overnight, there must not be many soldiers under his command, and it is very likely that all of them are light cavalry, so our army is still alive. Zhang He's calm mind finally exerted great energy at this moment.

"We are short of manpower now, you go into the city immediately, organize all the clans of the scholars, borrow their strength, if the situation is in crisis, you can also encourage all the people to defend the city together, if anyone dares to resist, it will be like a thief, and there will be no mercy." After the initial panic, Zhang He's brain quickly calmed down and began to run rapidly. As long as you can hold Julu City for two days, this battle will be won. If you can't keep it, the new hatred and old hatred will be counted together, Yuan Shao will not pull out the skin of himself, and this character will be written upside down.

"No." He responded forcefully and immediately prepared to leave. He faintly felt in his heart that this plan was dangerous, but it was also the only way in desperation, believing that Yuan Shao had governed Jizhou for several years and had deep prestige, and these scholars should work together to tide over the difficulties together. Otherwise, He Chen would break the city, and they would not have any good fruit to eat.

By the light of the night, as soon as he turned around, he found countless horses with larger and larger figures, as well as heavily armed soldiers on them. Among them, the leader is even faster than an arrow from a string, like a strong wind, so fast that people can't see the shadow clearly, almost out of touch with the brigade. Crazy straight to the city.

Zhao was dumbfounded, what did he want to do? Want to hit the city wall like this?

At this moment, the man below slammed the reins, and then a roar of a majestic tiger that filled the ground with glasses suddenly sounded.

Just walked to the city ladder, stumbled to bluff, and almost rolled down the wall ladder, that guy's mount is a tiger? There is a fierce tiger as a mount? Just when he was in doubt, he faintly heard what martial arts, what fire and thunder...... "boom" was like a mountain collapse, the earth was deeply cracked, and a deafening sound sounded out of thin air at the gate under the city, and Zhang He and Zhao almost felt that the entire battlement was shaking, as if the city gate would collapse in the next moment. Then a dazzling flash of fire burst out for no apparent reason, followed by a huge cloud of smoke that rose into the air like a mushroom cloud. The entire floodgates were not only torn apart, but also burned incessantly with the fire.

I have always been proud of it, thinking that the giant deer in the backbone city of Ji is like a virgin who has been stripped naked at this moment, and all her private parts are exposed to He Chen's gaze. There is no longer a bit of a shield to hide.

"What's going on?" Zhang He seemed to have lost his soul, looking at the Bingzhou cavalry who were shouting and shouting, rushing into Julu City without intervals, and couldn't help but question sharply, his face was full of anger and unwillingness.

All the guards were already frightened, their legs trembling, and they couldn't answer at all.

When he was young, a general crawled over with a rolling belt, and said in a miserable voice: "General Zhang, the big thing is not good, the enemy army blasted open the city gate as soon as possible, and the iron cavalry drove straight in, and our army could not resist it at all." They have broken through the urn city and turned to the staircase tower. ”

Zhang He suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, his entire eye socket turned black, and he almost fainted.

"What the hell is going on? He Chen's army was all cavalry, how could he break through the city gate so quickly? Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhang He, turned around and said sharply to the general.

"That's a demon."
