As soon as Cao Xing's words came out, Han Tao and Liu Jin couldn't help laughing in unison, and the hearty laughter echoed throughout the city tower.

This hearty laughter was like a reassuring pill, which quickly calmed down the already unstable military spirit of the hundreds of Han soldiers stationed inside and outside the city tower.

In Cao Xing's stunned, Liu Jin slowly said: "Brother Yuming, don't worry, the younger brother has already planned. Just last night, Lord Han and his younger brother received a message from Master Bing Cao Zhang. Lord Zhang said that reinforcements would arrive tonight, presumably the 1,005 county soldiers led by Lord Zhang had already arrived outside the city at this moment."

Hearing Liu Jin say this, Cao Xing's hanging heart finally let go. Although he didn't know what Liu Jin's plan was, he still knew that Liu Jin's Yanmen County soldier Cao was engaged in Zhang Yang.

This Uncle Zhang Yangzi is a native of Yunzhong County, famous for his martial arts and bravery, and was later appointed as a soldier of Yanmen County, and was in charge of the military power of a county in Yanmen County. There is a general named Mu Shun under the command of this person, Mu Shun is good at using spears, and it is said that he has the courage of ten thousand people, and he is a rare general.

Not only that, after Zhang Yang arrived, he rectified military discipline and trained soldiers. The combat effectiveness of the three thousand soldiers in Yinguan City is now very different from before, and it can be said that it can be regarded as a strong army.

Seeing that Cao Xuan was no longer as anxious as just now, Han Tao, who was the chief official, began to give orders, only to hear Han Tao's old voice resounding in the city tower: "Cao Sima, you lead the five hundred sons of the headquarters to rush forward to exterminate the traitor Yan Ling."

The matter is obvious by now, after Liu Jin's analysis and everything that is happening now, this internal should be almost certain for Yan Ling.

Hearing Han Tao's words, Cao Xingzheng replied: "No." Then he turned around and went out of the city tower to mobilize the people of the headquarters.

After Cao Xing left, Han Tao said to Liu Jin again: "Destroy the slaves, you guard here for me, and the two hundred sons and daughters here and my personal guards are all at your disposal." I'm going to meet Hyosa-sama."

When Liu Jin heard this, he clasped his fists and said, "No."

Seeing Liu Jin's promise, Han Tao did not linger, and immediately led the four entourages to get off the city tower and then stepped on the war horse, and galloped to the east.

After Han Tao left, Liu Jin walked out of the city tower and faced the three hundred Han soldiers who were waiting outside the city tower.

These 300 Han soldiers were already the last mobile force in Yanmen Pass, and many of them were wounded, but they stood solemnly one by one at this time. Holding the cold sword and gun in his hand, he let the fierce wind blow on the city, and he stood still.

"Brothers, the Huns are just outside the city, and behind them are our homeland and our parents, children, brothers and sisters. As long as they pass the Yanmen Pass, they can drive straight in, and then our parents and children will be ravaged by their iron hooves. So we can't retreat, but they have tens of thousands of people, and we only have a few hundred, who is afraid? Liu Jin asked with a roar.

"Tremble, tremble", everyone is desperately roaring.

Hearing this high-morale shout, Liu Jin smiled on his face and continued to shout: "For our homeland, for our parents, wives and children, we will never die." Liu Jin's crazy roar shook the hearts of every soldier.

For the sake of the homeland, this most simple sentence has become the common wish of every soldier.

Never die, never die, never die

A hysterical roar, the sound of swords and guns hitting the shield and the ground neatly and solemnly, these sons and daughters of the Han Dynasty guarding the frontier seemed to be one at this moment. Although most of them were wounded, their high fighting spirit and disregard for life and death were moving.

Liu Jin raised his eyes, and the torches lit by the Hun cavalry reflected their charging posture, like a fire dragon, rushing straight to the south of Yanmen Pass.

In Guancheng to the south, Yan Ling, who had already openly rebelled, killed junior officers who were unwilling to commit treason, and appointed his cronies and disciples to temporarily take charge of the army. They opened the southern gate, and the forward troops of the Huns were no more than a mile away from the gate.

The Hun cavalry desperately twitched the war horses under their crotches, rotated the scimitars in their hands, and let out a cry of 'oh oh oh', and the crazy and fierce Hun cavalry rushed into the city gate like a lightning speed.

Before these Hun cavalry could penetrate deep into the interior of Yanmen Pass, houses two or three feet high and three alleys blocked their way. The cavalry brigade, which had gathered into a torrent, could only divide into four ways and continue the attack towards the three alleys and the stone steps leading to the city.

More than 200 galloping Hun cavalry rushed into each alley in an instant, and these cavalrymen rushed into the dark alleys in a row of two, riding war horses.

At the moment when a Hun cavalryman at the front was about to rush out of the alley, a majestic shout suddenly came from the darkness: "Kill".

Almost simultaneously with this shout was the screams of the Huns and the sound of the bowstrings of the crossbows.

The Mengjia Yiwu Battalion, who had been lying in ambush on the eaves of the houses on both sides of the alley, decisively began to attack at the shout of Meng Lie, and in an instant, arrows and crossbows flew like rain in this alley, which was no more than a hundred steps long.

The Hun cavalry, who were only dressed in cloth and animal skins, were suddenly shot off their horses by more than 100 people with this rain of arrows, and the remaining dozens of Hun cavalry were all shot by the second wave of arrows that followed before they could react.

Meng Lie, who was standing on his horse in the darkness in the distance, saw a slight smile on his face when he saw his subordinates striking at him. secretly said in his heart: "It's still a good way to kill slaves and virtuous brothers."

It turned out that when Liu Jin and Meng Lie discussed the strategy of breaking the enemy that night, Liu Jin told him that he guessed that Yan Ling was the internal response of the Huns. As soon as the two were combined, Meng Lie said that Han Tao seemed to be decent, but he was actually an eagle dog of some people in the court.

In view of this situation, Meng Lie suggested that Liu Jin use military exploits and promotions as bait to lure Han Tao into being deceived. Then Han Tao cooperated with Liu Jin to stage a good show of knocking on the mountain and shaking the rats.

This was followed by a strategy to defeat the Xiongnu, that is, to use the Xiongnu general Muyang Xiong, whom Meng Lie told Liu Jin, as bait to lure Yan Ling into thinking that his identity was exposed, so that the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry.

Then Liu Jin told Meng Lie all about the development of the battle situation and the arrangement of tactics, and after the two discussed it, they felt that it was feasible, so they began to implement it.

Sure enough, Han Tao and Yan Ling were fooled one after another. This is not afraid of thousands of troops and horses, but afraid of clever discussions between the two.

Let's talk about Cao Xing, who is responsible for encircling and suppressing Yan Ling. Cao Xing led 500 soldiers under his command to kill the southern tower directly along the city gate when the Huns were not close to the city wall for five miles.

Two of the three major military marquis under Cao Xing, the military marquis Ma Ming and He Qing, raised swords and guns at the same time, and led their respective 200 people to take the lead in Yan Ling's troops. The two stabbed with knives and guns, and the rebel soldiers who blocked the way avoided one after another, which was really not imposing.

Cao Xing, who followed the two of them, knew in his heart that not all of these sons and daughters of the Han army must want to commit treason. Most of them must have been coerced by Yan Ling and his comrades to do so, after all, treason and rebellion were the most severe crimes in the Han law. How many people dare to risk being beheaded to commit treason?

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Xing immediately pulled out his iron-tired bow and mounted the arrow. Focus on eliminating those officers at the level of military marquis, commanders, and captains who command the soldiers to resist desperately.

Cao Xing's name as a marksman is really not covered, and every time he shoots an arrow, someone will definitely fall in response. In a few breaths, he shot and killed seven or eight of the fiercest rebel officers, and the remaining Yan Ling henchmen who were overseeing the battle were frightened when they saw Cao Xing's magic shot like this, and they dodged one after another.

Without the suppression of these people, some low-ranking officers at the rank of captain and even chief turned against each other in the shouts of Cao Xing's troops, 'Kill Yan Ling, protect the homeland'. For a time, the five hundred sons led by Cao Xing not only did not lose much, but soared to more than seven hundred.

Not only that, but the remaining more than 100 Han soldiers under Yan Ling's subordinates even killed Yan Ling's henchmen who coerced them and joined Cao Xing's troops, and the two groups combined exceeded 900 people. Under the command of Cao Xing, these people divided into 500 people, and under the leadership of the military marquis Ma Ming, they guarded the stone steps to the city, and the remaining more than 400 people surrounded Yan Ling, who was hiding in the city tower.

Yan Ling, who had rebelled against his relatives, knew that even if he surrendered, he would definitely not be able to escape a dead word, so he immediately commanded more than 50 people from his own soldiers and doormen to defend the building.

Cao Xing outside was worried that the Hun army that had entered the city, so he put down the iron bow and persuaded him to surrender and said: "Traitor Yan Ling, now you are a turtle in the urn, for the sake of being an official in the same dynasty, it is better to persuade you to be captured, and a few kind words for you in front of the captain may be able to save your life." If you resist to the end, you will definitely end up in a full house."

Unexpectedly, Yan Ling inside snorted coldly, and said in an extremely stubborn tone: "Cao Yuming, you don't have to be alarmist here." Now that the Hun army has entered the city, it will not be long before you will die without a place to bury. Hugh is going to rap here, and if you want to fight, you will fight."

Seeing Yan Ling so stubborn, Cao Xuan couldn't help but be angry. Immediately shouted angrily: "Release the arrows."

The 200 archers who had received the order immediately let go of their bows and arrows, and the arrows from the string shot into the tower like locusts in a rainstorm, and then more than a dozen screams were heard.

The remaining more than 200 Han soldiers broke through the door of the building under the command of Cao Xing, and dozens of sword and shield soldiers immediately killed them and fought with Yan Ling's cronies.

Yan Ling's cronies also knew that they had committed treason with Yan Ling, and the only way to fight to the death was to fight to the death. As long as he persists until the arrival of the Huns, he will have a chance to live, and no one is fighting desperately at the moment.

It is said that those who are horizontal are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of dying. Under the threat of death, these outlaws burst into an extremely powerful fighting force. Cao Xing's subordinates, who were killed for a while, suffered heavy casualties and were almost about to withdraw from the city tower.

Seeing this, Cao Xuan couldn't help frowning secretly, he never thought that the combat power of these people would be so amazing.

The battle on the stone steps had begun, and the Hun cavalry dismounted their horses and began to storm the Han army's front under the leadership of their respective officers, and the battle began to fall into a white-hot phase.

didn't have time to think about it, Cao Xuan hurriedly ordered: "He Qing, you lead fifty pikemen."

He Qing, who got the order, raised the iron spear in his hand and rushed up with the fifty pikemen under his command.

Although these Han soldiers are not as brave as Meng Jiaerlang, they are also the elite of the border army, and their combat effectiveness is naturally not much worse.

Fifty pikemen, led by the military marquis He Qing, stabbed to death more than a dozen of Yan Ling's cronies with only one charge. The remaining rebels quickly gathered together amid Yan Ling's shouts, wrapping Yan Ling tightly in it.

Seeing that it was hopeless to hold on, Yan Ling couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and said secretly: "Is it that I, Yan Ling, am going to die at the hands of these pawns?" I'm almost ready to wait for reinforcements!! ”。

Unwilling to fail, Yan Ling let out a tiger roar, pulled out the saber at his waist and killed a stabbing pikeman, and then launched a desperate charge with the remaining seven or eight diehards.

A sharp eagle arrow pierced through the overlapping figures and shot precisely at Yan Ling's throat, and the remaining momentum passed through his body, striking fiercely at the head of a rebel behind him.

In the eyes of unwillingness and resentment, this border army moth who had been in Yanmen Pass for more than ten years died.

Before Cao Xing could be happy, a soldier came in a hurry and said, "My lord, Ma Junhou is dead in battle, and the brothers can't stand it anymore." (To be continued)
