The night is dark, and the sun and moon are dark.

Yecheng.

The surging firelight illuminated the darkness, red for thousands of miles, reflecting half of the sky, as bright as the white sun, under the firelight, the drums were beating, deafening, the horses' hooves were surging, and the earth shook the mountains.

The sound of war fills every corner of Yecheng.

East City Gate.

Ma Yan's tall body stood on top of the city, his face was resolute, he was dressed in military uniform, his hands were clenched with large swords, and his eyes were dead looking at the figures reflected in the overwhelming firelight under the city.

These figures, like the waves of the sea, rushed in, closer and closer, the clearer and clearer.

"Shoot the arrows!" Ma Yanchang drank, and the sons and daughters of the Jin army hurriedly bent their bows and pulled arrows, and the arrows rained down, covering the Wei army soldiers from top to bottom.

"Block!"

The soldiers of the Wei army formed a boxy phalanx, listening to the iron shield on all sides and in front, advancing step by step, constantly approaching the city wall.

The sound of neat and loud footsteps seemed to condense into a fearless momentum.

"Put it again!" Ma Yan waved the big knife and drank coldly, the arrows in the city were well prepared, he was naturally not afraid of wasting, under the attack of the arrows, the Wei army began to suffer casualties, but it was still advancing.

"Archers, crossbow soldiers, all bring them up, and fight back at the head of the city!" Zhang Liao's eyes were cold, and he shouted: "Cover the attack of the sons, at any cost, we must break the city gate tonight!" ”

"No!"

The Wei army's archer battalion and crossbow battalion were pushed up, and the arrow offensive of both sides began.

"Push the crashing cart up, crash open the city gate, left and right, immediately take the ladder and rush up!"

For half an hour, the Wei army braved layers of arrows. Finally killed the city, and the soldiers began to launch a strong attack on the city gate.

"Hold on, sons, kill the enemy, destroy the ladder, no matter what, you must hold it!" Ma Yan now only has 8,000 main forces in his hands. Although there are still tens of thousands of young people gathered behind the city, the only thing he can trust is the 8,000 soldiers and horses under his command.

After the first battle of Guandu, the high-level generals of the Jin State were almost swept away, and the fierce generals such as the four court pillars of Hebei were wiped out, and the ordinary second-line wars would take the opportunity to rise.

After the general Ju Yi was sent north, in Yecheng, led by Jiang Qi, Ma Yan, and Zhao Rui, the commander of the Euphorbia. Wang Mo...... These generals quickly supplemented the defects of the top echelons of the Jin army.

Ma Yan was just a small partial general before, not even as good as a miscellaneous general, but after the first battle of Guandu, he was quickly promoted to General Zuo by Yuan Shao, and now he leads heavy troops to guard the east gate of Yecheng.

"Kill!"

At this time, in the enemy camp, a fierce general. It's like a fierce tiger, a horse at the moment. Violently attacking the city, the cold momentum, as if it could suppress all the soldiers on the city.

"General, the enemy's offensive is so fierce that in an hour at most, we will collapse. We must send the follow-up soldiers and horses to the city, otherwise we won't be able to defend the east gate! ”

Su You, the strategist who assisted Ma Yan in defending the city, looked at the tragic battle, and now that the enemy army had reached the head of the city, he suddenly couldn't hold it down, and hurriedly whispered an admonition.

After the city gates. There are also tens of thousands of soldiers, although the combat effectiveness is not very good, but at least it is a force, as long as it is dispatched, it can at least support for some time.

"Wait!"

When Ma Yan heard this, he felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart for some reason, he thought about it, shook his head, and said: "Zhang Liao is not a person who has no purpose, he used to feint, but now he suddenly launched such a fierce attack, I always feel that something is wrong!" ”

Zhang Liao, who was once a general under Lu Bu, later surrendered to the Wei State and was valued by Cao Cao, the king of Wei.

In the past, Zhang Liao's reputation was not significant, although he had a small record against Zhao Yun, the general of the Wu Hussars in Jiujiang, but he only had some fame in the territory of Wei.

However, after the first battle of Guandu, the generals of the Jin State changed their colors when they heard about this person, and this person made a far-reaching layout with his own strength, directly subverting the hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the Jin State.

This battle is enough for Zhang Liao to become famous all over the world.

Today's Zhang Liao is definitely worthy of the name of Wu Guojun's god, and no one dares to underestimate him.

"Kill, rush forward!"

Xu Chu was the vanguard, jumped on horseback and jumped on a cloud ladder, holding a big knife in one hand, constantly blocking arrows, and rushed directly to the city.

"Kill!"

There was Xu Chu, a fierce general, and all the Wei soldiers were demoralized, screaming, and fearlessly impacting the city.

"A certain family is still underestimating the combat power of this guard next to the king!" Zhang Liao was not far from the city, looking at this battle, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he couldn't help but whisper: "At most, half an hour, they will not be able to survive!" ”

In the era of cold weapons, the deterrent power of a peerless fierce general surpasses that of thousands of troops.

"General, do you want to press all the troops up!" Le Jin walked up and asked in a low voice.

"Press it up!"

Zhang Liao nodded and said, "At the fastest speed, let them collapse, as long as he can't withstand our pressure, he can only transfer the reserve soldiers!" ”

"No!"

Le Jin nodded, and quickly went down to suppress the last three thousand troops, and the attack on the city gate quickly swelled by three points, and the ferocity rose sharply, and it had already entered the city.

"Damn it!"

Ma Yan kept swinging his big knife and cut down the Wei army from the city one by one, but when he turned around, he watched the Jin army fall one by one, and his eyes were shattered.

"General, we can't wait!" Su You said impatiently: "If we don't send the soldiers and horses behind, our city will be captured!" ”

"Order, let Fang Lei lead the troops to the rescue!"

Ma Yan gritted his teeth, he looked at the shape shì, and could only listen to Su You's construction.

"No!"

Su You nodded and went to give the order in person.

Under the city gate, not far away, there is a heavily guarded barracks, nearly tens of thousands of soldiers, waiting for the battle, the general who leads the troops is a middle-aged man, riding on horseback, with a spear in his hand, majestic.

"General!" A scout came in a hurry and reported: "The city head is in danger, the Soviet division has asked us to send troops immediately to support the battle of the city head!" ”

"Someone knows!"

Fang Lei is the general of the Fang family, Kong Wu is powerful, he shook the big spear in his hand, and his eyes like copper bells emitted a touch of essence.

Here's your chance.

The family has already made a choice, and he has been slow to move before because of his lack of strength.

These powerful families in the city gathered less than 2,000 government soldiers, and the government soldiers were originally far from the combat effectiveness of the regular army of the Jin State, 2,000 government soldiers, plus more than 8,000 young men who had never been on the battlefield.

The combined combat effectiveness is not as good as 3,000 elite soldiers.

If they faced the 8,000 elites who went up to the city gate, even if they rushed hard, it would be a dead end.

"Fang Jie!"

"In!"

"You lead 3,000 troops, no matter how many casualties you pay, you must open the city gate, welcome the Wei army into the city, and personally lead the troops to capture and kill Ma Yan!"

"No!"

"Kill!"

After Fang Lei shouted, he rode his horse and flew away, waved the big spear in his hand, and went straight to the city gate.

When the reinforcements in the city became the enemy army outside the city, the Jin army above the east gate collapsed directly, and under the internal and external attacks, they could not hold even a quarter of an hour, and many of them raised troops to surrender.

The military advisor Su You has no trace, the main general Ma Yan's face is pale, he who fought bloodily all night, is now covered with scars, surrounded and killed by the Wei army, and is dying, but a pair of eyes are fiercely staring at Fang Lei who has climbed the city.

"Why?"

Fang Lei's sudden defection made him understand why he felt uneasy.

"General Ma, I admire you very much, but I'm sorry, this is the family's decision, XX is just carrying out the order of the head of the family, and your head is the best gift for the Fang family to surrender to the Wei State, die!"

Fang Lei's big spear crossed the air, and he said coldly.

"Shameless traitor, so-and-so killed you!" Ma Yan shouted, angry in his heart, and killed with a big knife in his hand.

"Kill!"

Fang Lei killed directly, although he was only practicing Qi Xiaocheng, not as good as Ma Yan, but a seriously injured Ma Yan was naturally not his opponent.

Dozens of rounds later, his spear pierced Ma Yan's heart directly, and then pulled out the sword at his waist and cut off his head with a single sword.

Fang Lei held Ma Yan's head in his hand and roared loudly: "Sons and daughters of the Jin army, you have a good look, Ma Yanzhi's head is here, I don't want to be like him, surrender immediately, and those who surrender will not be killed!" ”

"That's General Ma's head?"

"The city is broken, and the Wei army has entered the city!"

"Let's surrender!"

The last trace of resistance of the Jin army completely collapsed when Fang Lei raised Ma Yan's head, and the only remaining soldiers raised their hands one by one to surrender.

"This soldier is doing a good job, and the timing is very good!"

The city gate was wide open, and the main general Zhang Liao was escorted by his own soldiers, riding into the city, he was under the city, looking at the scene at the head of the city, and his eyes showed a trace of satisfaction.

This man is good, he is a strong general, if he can use it well, he will have the ability to take charge in the future.

"Fang Lei, meet General Zhang!" Fang Lei hurriedly jumped off the city, faced Zhang Liao, and saluted respectfully.

"You don't need to be polite!"

Zhang Liao rode on horseback, waved his hand, and said lightly: "The war is not over, now the East City Gate will be handed over to you first, no matter what, you must stabilize the East City Gate, this battle you have made a great contribution, in the future, you will definitely play the king, please merit for you!" ”

"Thank you, General!"

When Fang Lei heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, the Fang family's efforts were finally not in vain.

"General, shouldn't we send troops to support the South City Gate!" Several Great Wei generals greeted him and asked excitedly: "As long as you open the south gate and welcome the king into the palace, Yecheng will be completely breached!" ”

"No need to be so troublesome!"

When Zhang Liao heard this, he shook his head, his gaze crossed a sharp light, staring in the direction of the Jin King City, and said: "Capture the thief and capture the king, as long as we take the opportunity to take Yuan Shao, within the Ye City, a piece of resistance will disappear, pass the order, the army will advance rapidly, the cavalry is the vanguard, raid the Jin Palace, be sure to take the palace in the shortest possible time, capture Yuan Shao alive!" ”

"No!"

When the generals heard this, their expressions were shocked and excited. (To be continued......)
