Huang Zhong rushed out of the hall with a big knife, only to see the fire in the direction of the city gate in front of him, and a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart. As he ran towards the gate, he shouted, "Everyone come with me!" The soldiers in the courtyard gathered one after another and followed Huang Zhong out of the gate.

A personal soldier came to Huang Zhong's war horse. Huang Zhong stepped on his horse and led hundreds of soldiers to run in the direction of the city gate. Before I arrived at the city gate, I saw the city gate open from a distance, and the fire above and below the city gate was shaking, and the figures were longing, and there was a scene of chaos and fighting. Although Huang Zhong had a hunch, he was still taken aback when he saw such a scene: "This is the case? How did the enemy get into the city? "I saw an enemy general rushing in with a spear and riding a horse. Huang Zhong hurriedly put the broadsword horizontally on the saddle, took out the old yellow bow, buckled the three-edged arrow, and released the bowstring in the light of the fire towards the enemy general who was assassinating his own soldiers! There was a buzzing sound, the arrow turned into a meteor and went away, and almost at the same time, the warrior screamed and fell off the horse!

Huang Zhong fired more than a dozen arrows at the city and the city, and the arrows were not in vain, and more than a dozen officers and generals died under Huang Zhong's arrows. The enemy army was a little panicked, and Lü Bu's army took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and the battle situation began to change in favor of Lü Bu's army.

However, at this point, there was another noise on the river, and the firelight lit up the night sky.

Just when Huang Zhong was in doubt, an officer rode up to Huang Zhong and hurriedly reported: "Not a good general! Sun Jian's navy cut the barrage and rushed through the barrier of our army, and landed in the rear of our army, and Queen Zhurong is leading the barbarian army to resist! ”

Huang Zhong frowned. At this moment, there was a sudden rumbling sound at the city gate. Huang Zhong hurriedly looked towards the gate of Cheng, only to see that Sun Jian actually commanded thousands of cavalry to rush into the city gate, and the iron hooves rolled, rolling the soldiers of the Lu Bu army who were trying to resist, and the city gate was chaotic again!

Huang Zhong was shocked, hurriedly buckled the arrow on the bowstring, and struggled to open it, but who knew that the force was too strong, and the bow was actually broken very hard!

Huang Zhong scolded, threw away the broken bow, picked up the big knife and slapped the horse to meet him, and the soldiers followed and rushed forward.

Huang Zhong jumped in front of Sun Jian, and struggled to pick up the big knife and slash it down, Sun Jian avoided it sideways, raised the ancient ingot knife and slashed at Huang Zhong's neck. Huang Zhong leaned back, and the blade flew past against Huang Zhong's face. Huang Zhong sat up again, stabbed backhand, and with a loud bang, Sun Jian blocked the knife with an ancient ingot knife. Then the two sides fought back and forth for more than 20 rounds, and seeing that Huang Zhong had the upper hand, a fierce general brandished this pair of iron whips and rushed into the battle group to catch Huang Zhong's battle. This fierce general, all wearing tiger helmets, a pair of iron whips danced like a windmill, tiger and tiger, mighty, Huang Zhong struggled to wield a big knife, the collision between weapons clanged non-stop, as if striking iron.

Huang Zhong fought with this fierce general for thirty rounds, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, and asked while fighting: "Who is coming?" The general shouted as he waved his iron whip vigorously: "I am Donglai Tai Shi Ci!" ”

Sun Jian brandished an ancient ingot knife to attack Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong gradually fell behind with one enemy and two enemies, and the situation became more and more unfavorable.

At the same time, the direction of the city gate and city wall has been torn apart under the fierce attacks of the other party wave after wave, although many soldiers are still fighting, but it is obvious that the decline is irretrievable!

And the battle on the riverside was also extremely unfavorable to Lu Bu's army. On the riverside, the brute army led by Zhu Rong was not the opponent of the naval army led by Zhou Tai at all, and the battle line was gradually compressed.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Huang Zhong struggled to force Sun Jian and Tai Shici back with several swords, and hurriedly turned his horse's head and retreated with the remnants of the defeated general.

Sun Jian's army completely broke through the defense line of Huang Zhong's side, and the morale was greatly boosted, and the army quickly advanced in depth!

Huang Zhong yelled at the officers around him as he retreated: "Send a signal immediately and order them to set fire!" The officer answered, took his hands out of the reins, took out his bow, drew a signal rocket, lit it, buckled the bowstring and shot it into the sky, only to see a spark burst in the night sky.

After that, the fire in Linjiang City spread rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, it became a prairie fire.

Seeing this scene, Sun Jian hurriedly reined in his horse and ordered the army to stop the pursuit and extinguish the fire on the spot. He can't help but do this, if he continues to pursue and kill regardless of the fire, it is very likely that the army and the front army will be cut off by the flames, at that time, if Huang Zhong turns around and counterattacks, the outcome will be unpredictable, not to mention that to continue to attack to the west, a relatively complete Linjiang County is needed as a logistics material and a transfer base for the wounded.

Sun Jian's army hurriedly stopped the pursuit and scattered on all sides to extinguish the fire. On the other hand, Lü Bu's army took the opportunity to break away from the battle. Out of the city, he joined up with Zhurong's troops to repel Zhou Tai's army, and then the army retreated to the west.

……

On the way to retreat, Huang Zhong asked the people around him with an annoyed face: "How did the city gate open?" ”

Zhu Rong frowned and said, "I heard that it was the scholars in the city who raided the city gate in the name of the labor army, and then led Sun Jian's army into the city!" ”

Huang Zhong was furious: "These bastards! ”

Zhu Rong said worriedly: "We have lost Kuimen and Linjiang one after another, and the shape is very unfavorable to us!" When will the General's reinforcements arrive? ”

Huang Zhong said: "I received news today that the general has captured Bingzhou, and I believe that reinforcements will arrive soon!" Glancing behind him, the soldiers looked very tired. Huang Zhong turned his head and said, "Let's retreat to Fuling and rely on the terrain of mountains and rivers to defend it!" ”

Zhu Rong asked, "Do you want to report the situation here to the general?" ”

Huang Zhong said with a depressed face: "Although it is embarrassing, it is not okay not to report!" ”

……

Look at Hanzhong.

In the middle of the night, Zhuge Liang still didn't rest, the light in the study was still on, and Zhuge Liang was sitting under the lamp looking at the cowhide map with his brows furrowed. Ma Chao, who was dressed in silver armor, walked in, saw Zhuge Liang, hugged his fists and asked, "Mr. is in a hurry to recruit me, but what are your orders?" ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly put down the inscription map in his hand, picked up a roll of bamboo slips and stood up. walked up to Ma Chao and handed him the letter: "This is a handwritten letter sent by the lord!" Give you mine, take a look. Ma Chao hurriedly took the letter, shook it open, and read it. With a look of disbelief on his face, he glanced at Zhuge Liang, "The lord wants me to immediately lead the blue wolf iron cavalry south to reinforce Huang Zhong?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded.

Ma Chao asked incomprehensibly, "If I leave, what will I do here?" ”

Zhuge Liang pondered: "Since the lord has ordered so, there must be complete consideration!" You don't have to worry about this, just follow the orders of the lord! ”

Ma Chao nodded, "I led the army south overnight. ”

"Nope! You're going south with great fanfare tomorrow morning! ”
