The South Gate was not so easy to take, because Meng Jin Ling He Fang was already on the verge of madness.

Out of scruples about Qingzhou, Yu Yu was reluctant to confront the Qingzhou forces, but for He Fang, Qingzhou was completely out of consideration, and Zhang Yang's strict order was the most fatal.

After receiving Cao Cao's letter and sensing that Mengjin was in danger, Zhang Yang first sent Yu Poison's army to support, and then quickly sent a message, ordering the surrounding garrisons to assemble in Mengjin, telling He Fang that if he couldn't keep Mengjin's ship, he would cut his neck himself.

When the chaos at the East Gate began, He Fang didn't figure out the situation, thinking that the Qingzhou army was coming to raid and was fighting for the East Gate, so his order was only to gather troops and horses and prepare reinforcements.

As a result, the troops he was to assemble were mixed with a large number of unstable elements, and not only were they insufficient in number, but they were also assembled much slower than expected. This result made him very worried, and hurriedly sent people to the south gate ferry to investigate, and when he received a report that everything was normal, more than an hour had passed.

Immediately afterwards, news came from the north gate, saying that Yu Poison's vanguard troops had arrived and were blocked from the east gate......

In this way, He Fang's time was completely wasted on back and forth communication, and the results of the communication were not so accurate, and when he finally found out that the Qingzhou army was operating on both sides at the same time, and the raiding troops in the city were trying to delay time, it was too late.

The flotilla at the ferry had already set sail, and his head could not be saved.

In the panic, he found the last straw, the raiding troops in the city!

Wang Yu loves soldiers like sons, as long as he can catch these people, it will be regarded as a credit; Even if they can't be captured alive, as long as this force is completely annihilated, they can abandon their official positions and leave Hanoi. Although Qingzhou is powerful, there are many enemies of the princes of the world. With such qualifications, are you still afraid that no one will take you in?

With such a thought, He Fang hurried to the south gate with all his might, vowing to leave Zhou Yi and the others behind, and the two sides started a race.

There are many people in He Fang, but he walked on the official road in the center of the city, and he started early, and when Zhou Yi rushed to hear the news, he had already walked far away. Therefore. Although Zhou Yi and the others tried their best, through the houses and alleys, and the leaders who flew the eaves and walls, they finally lagged behind.

In front of him was the Mengjin defenders, who occupied the favorable terrain at the head of the city, and behind them the sound of horses' hooves rumbled. Obviously, Yu Poison's cavalry arrived soon, and the situation was not optimistic.

"Prepare to charge!" Although Zhou Yi was not panicked, while running fast, he assigned tasks: "Team A uses long-range weapons to cover, teams B and C feint to attack the city, Team D waits for the opportunity to seize the door, and Team E clears the ambush ......"

"Whoa!" This kind of time. No one would have any opinions, and the soldiers agreed with a bang, completed the formation change in the run, and put on a strong offensive formation.

"Bastard, bastard...... Are there many more people who have not seen the officials? How dare you attack? And. They still have pursuers behind them! Are these people crazy? He Fang's voice trembled, and he didn't know whether he was frightened or angry, although his words were ruthless. But his voice was too small for his opponents to hear.

"Lingjun. It's the elite of the Hidden Mist Army of the Sixth Hussar Army! The hundreds of people at the east gate were beaten by more than a dozen of them and had no power to fight back, and they also frightened the hundreds of elite horsemen outside the city, which was extremely fierce...... We, I'm afraid we're not opponents. ”

"So what do you say? You can't learn from that traitor Li Xiang, right? ”

"The subordinates mean to simply close the city gate to death, let them touch the cavalry of the moth thieves first, observe the enemy situation first, and then attack when they are sure."

After He Fang completed the defense, the reason why he did not close the city gate at the first time was the idea of fighting for merit. He thought very clearly, if the door was closed early, the Qingzhou army, which had lost hope of breaking through, would find another way, and in the end, it would either be cheaper than poison, or it would be run away by the other party, so it would be better to open the door and lead the other party over.

For this reason, he also laid out a few ambushes in advance, thinking that when the Qingzhou army could not attack the city and intended to retreat, he would give the other party an ambush on all sides and catch turtles in the urn, so as to completely achieve the reputation of a wise general.

As a result, his ambush was easily revealed. In the ensuing purge operation, he deeply realized the meaning of the word "devastating".

Rao has many soldiers and horses, and there are city walls to rely on, but He Fang still feels as if he is standing naked in the ice and snow, cold all over, and he can't find any support.

"Yes, yes, this method is good, just do it, pass the order down, and put down the city gate!" The proposal of his subordinates was like a lifesaver for He Fang, and he gave the order in a panic.

Because it is connected to the river, the gate of the south gate of Mengjin Castle is not the usual form of opening and closing left and right, but a gate that moves up and down. The gate was a large iron plate connected to the winch at the head of the city by an iron chain, which could be twisted to move it up and down. The gate is made of pig iron, and the weight is extremely heavy, so it is also called the jack gate.

It is not easy to retract and release the iron gate, therefore, the south gate will not be opened easily, and the last time the door was closed, it was traced back to the first year of the first peace, when the heroes were discussing Dong. Later, the two major forces that occupied Hanoi and Luoyang have been peaceful, and there is no chance to close the city gates.

At this moment, the matter was urgent, He Fang ordered, and the defenders twisted the winch, but they were shocked to find that the winch had rusted, and more than a dozen of them pushed together, but they still didn't move.

Zhou Yi and others under the city saw the movement in the city, knew that the situation was critical, and the offensive became more and more fierce, and in the blink of an eye, the ambush soldiers under He Fangbu were completely defeated, and quickly advanced to a distance of thirty steps from the city gate, braving the rain of arrows from the defenders at the head of the city, approaching at high speed.

"Leave the winch alone, take the axe, cut the chains, cut it!" He Fang was anxious and shouted, pointing to the lock rope that connected the iron gate.

At that moment, someone sent an axe, which was held by several strong men, and their arms were rounded and chiseled. Although the iron rope was thick, it could not resist the power of everyone after all, and soon let out an overwhelmed moan, and the sound of 'click' transmitted the vibration to the iron gate, shaking violently, and countless dust fell in a row.

"Not good!" Zhou Yi shouted that it was not good, once the iron gate was lowered, it would be useless even if he captured the city. Yu Poison's cavalry has already arrived behind him, and it is too late to change the direction of the breakthrough, if he can't break through, I'm afraid he can only engage in street battles and fight to the end.

I really don't have enough talent, and I don't have the ability to adapt. The plan was executed like this...... Zhou Yi's heart was miserable, but the command was not chaotic at all: "Archers, shoot those axes!" The others gather long weapons, follow me! Hurry, hurry! ”

Zhou Yi's order was both unreasonable and quite puzzling.

With the importance of the winch, it is normal to be placed in the castle tower, and it is difficult to shoot the target from the bottom of the castle, which is still in the castle tower. Even if he is a sharpshooter like Huang Zhong, if he wants to be accurate, he has to rely on luck. The purpose of collecting long weapons is even more puzzling.

However, the soldiers of the Hidden Mist Army did not hesitate to carry it out.

All the crossbowmen focused their fire on the towers where the sound of the clash of gold and iron was heard, and the sound of 'grabbing' arrows into the wood was endless. There were a few miserable snorts, and the sound of the hammer and chisel was also paused.

"It worked!" Wei Xiao, who commanded the crossbowmen, was in high spirits, however, the next moment, the sound of the hammer and chisel was more intense, and it was obvious that the blind shot of the bow and crossbow could only play a deterrent role, but could not cause substantial damage.

But. It was by this moment of delay that Zhou Yi successfully rushed under the floodgate. He glanced up at the location of the iron gate, then drew a spear with the blade pointing downward. It thrust heavily into the ground, followed by another spear...... The long upside-down weapon seems to form a fence. Or jungle in general.

Wei Xiao and the others understood that this was to block the iron gate with the forest of long soldiers.

It's a good idea. It's just a pity that there is too little time.

When the cheers in the city tower came, the iron gate stopped trembling, and after a short pause, the smoke and dust that filled the entire city gate cave were stirred up, and when they fell with the power of a thousand catties, Zhou Yi and the others had just inserted the eighth spear......

"Boom!"

"Click...... Click! The eight spears were smashed deeper and deeper into the earth, and then the poles began to bend, arcing in an instant. Zhou Yi's method worked, but the effect was limited after all, and the impact of the iron gate had not been completely resolved.

In Zhou Yi's desperate gaze, the iron gate roared down.

According to his plan, after the barrel of the gun dissipates the impact of the iron gate, he and a few sharp soldiers who rushed to the door can try to hold the iron gate. But there was too little time, and the spear array he used for cushioning didn't have time to take shape, and before he could even make a supporting movement, the iron gate eliminated interference and fell.

In an instant, his heart sank into the abyss, and he was cold, and in the end, the plan failed.

At that moment, a sudden wind blew around me...... It felt like someone was rushing around.

Zhou Yi was surprised, running over at this time, did he want to rush down at the iron gate and rush out? This possibility does exist, and it is still very large, but there should not be such a person in the army who would rather leave his robe and ask for a life.

The question was quickly answered, and before a thought could be finished, Zhou Yi saw a hand - a hand with thick joints and strong strength! This hand, doing what he wanted to do but couldn't do, was held under the iron gate in seconds.

This alone, Zhou Yi would not be too surprised, if he wanted to, he might have time to do it, but the problem is that the result of holding it up is completely different.

If he lifts up, it will not have any effect on the iron gate, but only an arm. And under the support of this hand, the momentum of the iron gate suddenly slowed down, and when the other hand of the same person was lifted up again, the thousand-pound iron gate that fell from the sky actually stopped in the air!

Zhou Yi was stunned.

Although the spear he placed eliminated most of the impact, but after all, it was a thousand catties of iron gates, which could be held up with one pair of hands, how much strength did this person have to have on his arms?

What surprised him was still behind, and before he could concentrate on the appearance of the person, a thunderous shout sounded in his ears: "Get up!" ”

The shouting roared like thunder, shaking Zhou Yi and the others almost unsteadily, but what shocked him even more was that with the violent drinking in this life, the owner of the hands suddenly exerted his strength, and actually held up the iron gate little by little, leaving a gap of more than one person.

After completing this action that was beyond the reach of human beings, the person holding the gate held the iron gate, turned his head and shouted: "Why don't you go quickly?" ”

At this moment, Zhou Yi was completely awakened. It's because of his sanity, but also because of that familiar face!

He knew this man, and it's today! This person is the purple-faced boy I met in the restaurant!

"Let's go!" Zhou Yi gave the order without hesitation, and at the same time took a step forward, trying to help the other party share part of the pressure, but was scolded by the other party: "Don't make this useless, have this time, go and carry an injury number, isn't it okay to hurry up?" This is to save a certain effort. ”

Zhou Yi was stunned, although he knew that the other party was planning to go to Qingzhou to join the army, but he regarded himself as his own person and reprimanded himself with a very familiar attitude, this young man's temper seemed to be a little strange.

Forget it, the masters may all be like this, just get used to it. He was relieved, and began to organize a retreat, and in his busy schedule, he still didn't forget to ask: "Dare to ask the name of the strong man?" ”

The young man smiled proudly, pretending to be rude: "A certain is Yiyang Wei Chang, and the hussar list has a certain name, so it is famous to meet you, Captain Zhou, Wei Yan is polite!" ”
