Luo Xingtian only retreated with the last two guards under his command, and when he retreated to the street corner where he had divided his troops before, he saw that the soldiers and horses under his command had gathered up the team.

More than 100 cavalry of Zhang Ye's army had already surrounded the intersection and were hurrying towards the direction of the city gate, and when they saw three cavalry in the distance rushing in their direction, the soldiers led by them immediately changed their faces.

"General, it's General Luo!"

Luo Xingtian's three horsemen rushed to the front, and immediately someone came up to answer and introduced the three horsemen into the street. Luo Xingtian was covered in blood, and his body was injured, such a tragic appearance made everyone who stayed here change color, most of these people were soldiers in the back camp of the army, and the fire head army was just a firehead, and it was rare for them to use their knives, seeing that their general was defeated so miserably, many people were up and down in their hearts.

"Quick, pass my orders, secondment carriages, block this place for me, go quickly!"

Luo Xingtian turned over and dismounted, pushed away the guards who were trying to support him, and then shouted angrily: "Lao Tzu is not dead yet!" What are you afraid of! ”

Although he was not lightly injured, he understood that as the commander-in-chief, if he showed the slightest concern at this moment, he was afraid that the army's heart would suddenly disperse. Therefore, although his eyes were dark in pain, he still puffed up his breath and gave orders in a loud voice.

He quickly assigned some men to the street entrance, above the houses on both sides, and the rest of the people hid behind the blocked street entrance. Most of these cavalry are carrying bows and arrows, in Luo Xingtian's army, even although they are all firehead troops, but many people have experienced life and death, although there are few opportunities for them to go out to fight, but archery is still practiced, and it can be regarded as a light car to kill the enemy.

"Ahem...... After the Zhangye City Gate, this street market is the way they must pass, and we must resist them here! We still have tens of thousands of troops in the city, don't worry, although these southern prison troops broke through the city gate and came in, but their foothold is unstable, as long as we block them here, so that the brothers behind have time to assemble and catch up, we can drive these traitors out of Zhangye, brothers, all give Lao Tzu out, if you don't work hard, you will die! ”

Although the city gate was broken, everyone was a little frightened, but in the darkness, the majestic and majestic voice of this famous general of the Southern Prison shouted loudly, falling on everyone's ears, and they couldn't help but feel a little calmer in their hearts.

As soon as Luo Xingtian finished assigning manpower, he heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves on the street where he was in charge! The cavalry of the Southern Prison has already rushed over!

"Wings ready!! Wait for my order, you must not release arrows without authorization, and those who dare to take a step back will be killed! ”

Luo Xingtian raised the long knife that had been broken, raised it above his head, his eyes were cold, he looked at the Zhang Ye soldiers who had already shown fear, and shouted quickly: "Don't panic!" Wait for them to get close!! ”

The improvised line of defense, which was so short of time, that the streets were fortified by overturned wagons, lacked depth, but was less than thirty paces wide.

Luo Xingtian stood behind the fortifications with his soldiers, and heard the sound of horses' hooves on the street getting closer and closer, and as a black cavalry figure appeared, the black cavalry queue behind suddenly blocked the street!

"Don't panic! Open the bow! ”

The front of the cavalry was getting closer and closer, so close that almost standing on the two wings of the houses, Zhang Ye's soldiers could see the hideous faces of the cavalry of the Southern Prison Army sitting on horseback! Finally, when the cavalry of the Southern Prison Army rushed to less than fifty meters, Luo Xingtian finally shouted: "Stumbling horses!" ”

The soldiers hiding in the houses on both sides of the street heard Luo Xingtian's order, and immediately pulled up the tripping horse rope across the street road, and in the darkness, the cavalry rushed rapidly, and the cavalry in front couldn't see the ropes hidden on the black ground at all, and suddenly several horsemen who rushed to the front row fell down on their horses.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Luo Xingtian snorted coldly, and in the darkness, Zhang Yejun's side immediately launched a round of salvos. The soldiers on both wings and in the middle stretched their bows and drew arrows, and sharp arrows shuttled through the air, and the front of the Southern Prison Army immediately fell directly, and the charging cavalry team seemed to have been cut off a piece.

The front army was blocked, and the cavalry behind was suddenly lowered. The front and back rows were huddled together, and there was a brief moment of confusion. Luo Xingtian saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had some secret hatred: it was a pity that he didn't have extra troops in his hands, otherwise, if he still had two hundred horses in his hands, taking advantage of the frustration of the other party's charge, this short-term chaos, he would lead people to rush up and counterattack. can directly defeat the opponent.

Although the Southern Prison Army was thwarted in its charge, it quickly put order in order under the shouts of the leaders of the army. The Southern Prison Army in front had already blocked the streets. There was a shout from the Southern Prison Army on the opposite side, and the cavalry of the Southern Prison Army also took off their bows and arrows one after another, and the two sides began to shoot at each other at a distance of about 100 paces.

In this kind of street fighting, both sides use short soft bows, which are light and have a short range, and cannot be thrown, and can only be wielded by flat shooting.

Because the Zhang Ye army occupied the houses on both wings and the fortifications in the middle, the two sides fired at each other for a while, and the cavalry side of the Southern Prison Army immediately suffered a small loss. Many of the cavalry were shot off their horses, and the people behind them retreated and scattered. The leader of the cavalry who led the pursuit was also quite decisive, and immediately ordered the team to disperse, in this narrow street, the cavalry did not block, it was too much of a loss, and at the same time ordered the organization of manpower, began to dismantle the door panels of the shops on both sides to act as shields, and then organized people to hold the door panels and rush at night, trying to tear down the obstacles that Zhang Ye's army had piled up and blocked the streets.

This kind of street fighting, leaving is the most cruel, the two sides are no longer fighting for tactical strategy, but purely the mutual consumption of courage and human life. Although the cavalry of the Southern Prison Army was defeated at the beginning, but after quickly organizing the manpower, after all, there were many people, and after desperately throwing down dozens of corpses, they had already advanced twenty meters, and the broken wooden boxes and broken carriages that were piled up and blocked on the streets along the road were moved or cut open.

Looking at the continuous advancement of the Southern Prison Army, although Zhang Yejun still has Luo Xingtian in charge here, after all, most of these people are firehead soldiers who don't have much experience, and after fighting for a while, they seem a little flustered.

Some soldiers were killed by cold arrows by experienced veterans in the Southern Prison Army because their bodies were too far out when they were archery. The two sides held each other for a cup of tea, and the Southern Prison Army advanced little by little, seeing that the piles of blockages on the streets had almost been demolished.

There are fewer and fewer people around Luo Xingtian, he is still standing there and refusing to take a step back, just pressing the sword sore on his waist with one hand, blood keeps flowing out of his fingers, Luo Xingtian's face is becoming more and more pale under the continuous blood loss, but he still shouts loudly from time to time.

The Southern Prison Army pressed forward more and more, and had already begun to divide their forces and storm the buildings on both sides of the street. After dividing the manpower, he began to press up from both wings at the same time, and the houses and buildings on the streets of the two wings also began to fight, and from time to time he heard screams from both sides, and both sides had losses, but Luo Xingtian knew very well in his heart that his strength was rapidly decreasing.

There are fewer and fewer arrows shot from the houses of the left wing, and the team divided by the other side has suffered heavy damage to their own people after climbing to the houses. Several places have been lost, and the rest of the people are still trying to resist, but they can't hold out much longer.

The muscles in the corners of Luo Xingtian's eyes jumped, he couldn't stand it, he really couldn't stand it, there was only so much he could do, he had no way to continue to defend it, just relying on these people under his command, hitting stones with eggs, maybe they all overestimated Luo Xingtian, except to take his life to the top, there was nothing to do, and the remaining few guards who followed Luo Xingtian were naturally veterans who had experienced battles. The severity of the situation has already been judged. At this moment, someone grabbed Luo Xingtian's arm and quickly whispered: "General! I can't stand it here! There are also horses here, and we take people to break off. Stand down now! ”

Luo Xingtian shook off his hands fiercely, and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up!" You don't understand! If this place is not defended, the city will really be lost! If the city is lost, where else can we retreat!! Top! Give me a top!! Even if they all die here, they are not allowed to leave! ”
