202 The crossbow arrows were in danger, and Gao Ran was punished for retiring from the army.

"And the state wolf rides, out of battle!! Cheer!! Inside the Huguan, a captain who rode with wolves in the state put up the spear in his hand, and with the opening of the city gate, he led more than 10,000 cavalry to kill outside the pass with the sound of rumbling horse hooves.

And the sergeant of Yuan Jun, who was still ecstatic at the sudden opening of the Huguan city gate, heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and saw those familiar and terrifying figures, and the timid ones simply weakened their feet and fell to the ground: "The wolf of Bingzhou is coming!!! ”

"What! And state wolf riding?! ”

"Run!!"

"The state cavalry is out!"

"Save me, save me!!"

Yuan Shao, who was in this formation, originally saw that the big rhubarb crossbows that made him almost collapse suddenly did not continue to shoot, and his sergeants rushed to the juncture like a tide, and his heart was originally relieved, and he sighed there that he was finally going to capture this damn Huguan, and considered whether to completely destroy this Huguan with a fire in the future.

But at this moment, the west gate, which had been closed for several days, suddenly opened slowly, and Yuan Shao felt a sigh in his heart, as if he had sensed some ominous omen.

Sure enough, I saw that the soldiers who were originally rushing to Huguan, except for those who had already climbed the ladder and climbed to the head of Huguan City, all scattered and fled, thinking that a man-eating beast suddenly appeared at the gate of Huguan City.

Then a long black dragon, with the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, holding shining spears and spears, shouted 'shout' in his mouth, and the spears in his hands poked and stabbed those Yuan soldiers who did not form a military formation and cried for their fathers and mothers, only hating their parents for giving birth to their own two legs, and they couldn't compare with those four-legged beasts.

"Crossbowmen, crossbowmen quickly stepped forward, aimed at the gate of Huguan City, and shot ten times in a row!!" Yuan Shao knew that once he let those iron horsemen rush out of the gate, not only would the results of his hard battle dissipate like a cloud of smoke.

And the tens of thousands of people who participated in the pot closure are afraid that they will stay in the closure forever. If those people were just ordinary soldiers, it would be fine, but there were dozens of Hebei generals on Huguan, including Gao Lan, Jiang Qi, Zhang Nan, Jiao Touch, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and others, if all these people were lost in this battle, Yuan Shao would fall into a sad situation with no soldiers and no generals, and Yuan Shao would never have any hope of breaking through Huguan and opening the way back to Jizhou.

"But my lord, there are still soldiers of our army in front of you, don't you care if they live or die?" A crossbow lieutenant asked with some hesitation.

A hint of gloom flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, and with a slight wipe of the sword in his hand, a crack appeared in the neck of the bow and crossbow lieutenant who had questioned his military order, and he fell straight to the ground.

"Those who dare to disobey orders will be killed!!" Yuan Shao coldly wiped the sword in his hand, and swept the crossbowmen with a murderous gaze.

With an unlucky guy as an example, where did other people dare to have the slightest support, they all picked up the bows and crossbows in their hands, and shot ten times in rapid succession towards the gate of Huguan City.

"Poof, poof."

"Why, doe!"

The thousands of wolf riders who had just rushed out of the Huguan City Gate were mixed with the Yuan soldiers outside the gate at this time, and they were killed and wounded by Yuan Shao's indiscriminate arrows. Seeing the tragic situation of their comrades-in-arms outside the pass, the remaining thousands of wolf cavalry sergeants hurriedly raised the wooden shield hanging on the horses, shielding Yuan Shao's arrow rain from his own formation while continuing to rush to kill the Yuan soldiers who were holding their heads outside the pass.

"General Gao, there is a change in the city, I will withdraw the army as soon as possible, otherwise I will have to worry about life and death!"

Jiang Qisheng's surname was cautious, as soon as he found that Guanxia was screaming again and again, he hurriedly vacated a space to check the situation under the city, and found that the cavalry troops of the Bingzhou army had already killed the Huguan, and hurriedly grabbed Gao Lan, who was still struggling to kill the enemy, and shouted loudly.

When Gao Ran heard that he was worried about life and death, his face suddenly changed: "Withdraw the troops!! ”

Tens of thousands of elite Hebei sergeants had gradually gained the upper hand after the arrows of the Huguan defenders' big rhubarb crossbows were used up, but at this critical moment, they heard Gao Lan's order to withdraw the army, so they had to abandon the enemy in front of them and slide down the ladder down the city wall.

"Bastard!! Who told them to take it down? Who gave them permission to take it down?! Beat the drums and let them kill me again!! Yuan Shao roared angrily.

"My lord! Never!! At this time, Gao Ran and they have withdrawn, and the sharp spirit of the army has been lost, if they are forced to reflexively kill back at this time, I am afraid that the army will be disadvantaged! Anyway, the repeater on the close has run out of arrows, so you might as well wait for Ming to organize an offensive again, and you will be able to do it all in one battle! How is it? At the risk of being scolded by Yuan Shao, the judge loudly blocked it.

Yuan Shao was obviously moved by the words of the trial, calmed down the anger in his heart a little, and said coldly: "No matter who issued the military order for this withdrawal, the former army commander personally appointed by Gao Ran for me is suspected of dereliction of duty.

According to the law in our army, the beheading should have been hung outside the gate to show the public, but at this time, it was the time to employ people, so Gao Ran's life was spared for the time being. But the capital crime can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, and after Gao Lan returns to the army, he will be ordered to get thirty spinal rods by himself! Hum!! Mingjin withdraws his troops, and the pikemen and crossbowmen break off to block those cavalry! ”

Seeing that Yuan Shao extinguished the idea of beating the drum and marching again, the trial exhaled a breath of turbidity, as for the thirty spine canes that Gao Ran was ordered to accept by Yuan Shao, but it was not in the concern of the trial, someone had to bear the black pot for this failure, right?

Dividing line

"One!"

"Smack!!"

"Oh!!"

"Two!"

"Smack!"

"Ahh

"Three!"

"Smack"

"Doom!"

"Thirty!!"

"Poof!"

After receiving the thirty spine canes, the flesh and blood on Gao Ran's back were already blurred, and Gao Ran himself was beaten and fainted, and he didn't even have the strength to scream.

"Execution completed!" The executioner, who looked expressionless on the surface, secretly looked at Gao Ran with pity. Although Gao Ran received these thirty canes of spine by himself, he saved many sergeants because of his sentence of 'withdrawing the army'. (At least in their eyes, but they didn't know that if they held out any longer, they would probably be captured.) It is precisely because of this that the executioner did not use any dark strength when carrying out the cane punishment, although it seemed that Gao Ran was beaten and fainted, and his back was even more bloody and blurred, but except for some skin injuries, Gao Ran's internal organs were not seriously injured.

"Go and go to General Fugao to return to the account." A Gao Ran's personal guard said with a sad and indignant face.

"General Gao Ran was punished like this for us, come on, let's go and help together." One of the Yuan soldiers shouted as if he was very enthusiastic, but when he looked closely, he saw an inconspicuous smile on the corner of his mouth
