Tonight the moon is sparse.

The waves on the banks of the Guandu River are rippling, but unfortunately no one appreciates such a wonderful picture.

Zhang Miao and the others were in a panic, and when they retreated, a number of floating corpses had already "drifted" ashore. This made Zhang Miao and the others even more panicked, and they wished that their parents would give them a few more legs.

At the same time as Zhang Miao retreated in embarrassment, the phantoms pretending to be floating corpses kept drifting from the other side of the river, and the number of phantoms who came to the river first was not much, and they did not stand up immediately after they went ashore, but began to look up to observe the surrounding environment, until they were sure that there was no one nearby, they bounced up one by one, knelt on the ground on one leg, listened to the nearby sounds, and further determined that there was no one to monitor here.

At the same time, the shadows of the late arrivals gathered more and more on the riverbank, but they remained motionless.

It was a long time before the shadows stood up and began to charge towards the five large ships. Under their leadership, the other shadows also stood up and followed.

However, there were still dozens of phantoms who stood up and rushed in all directions to reconnoiter the situation.

It didn't take long for those phantoms to change their equipment and gather outside the five large ships, leaving three hundred phantoms here to guard the five large ships, just in case, while the remaining two thousand phantoms pursued in the direction of Guandu with all their might.

On the way to Guandu.

Zhang Miao and a group of others hurried to the road.

They were different from those archers, anyway, they still had war horses, but unfortunately, these pampered children of the great family were not all-round figures such as Cao Cao, so their riding skills were simply clumsy to the extreme.

But this is a good thing for Shi Ah and others.

Of course, Zhen Mi, a beauty, can't be handed over to others, so Shi A and Zhen Mi rode on a war horse. Zhen Mi was tightly hugged by Shi A in the crook of her strong arm, feeling very safe.

Zhen Fu and Yuan Jian followed. Don't dare to make the slightest move, although Shi Ah turned his back to them. However, they felt that their spirits had been firmly locked by this unattainable figure in the pursuit of martial arts, and their every move could not be hidden from the other party at all.

It was as if a mountain was crushing down on their hearts.

Not to mention, there was a phantom who followed them firmly.

Zhang Miao sat on the horse and only felt that he was very hard, in order to divert his attention, he smiled with Shi A, a person whose face was as cold as frost and snow: "Mr. Yuan, I heard that Miss Zhen Mi also has a maid named Xiangrui, why didn't you see her?" ”

Shi A felt a pang in his heart, he didn't expect that this Zhang Miao still had a bit of intelligence, and said casually on the surface: "That Xiangrui is dead, and we have to ask our young master Zhen Fu about this matter." ”

Zhang Miao turned his head to look at Zhen Fu, who was quite calm. He cooperated with Shi Ah and said: "Hmph! That slut is not lifting, I see that she has a three-point posture, and I originally wanted to take her as a concubine, but who knew that she actually opened her mouth to bite me and was killed by me! ”

Zhang Miao said "oh", and then stopped talking, he was just asking casually, but he couldn't help laughing in his heart at this time: Just your annoying and obscene appearance, let alone women's fate. Even the sow doesn't bother to look at you, right?

And at this time, Guandu is finally close at hand.

Zhang Miao couldn't help but sigh, he finally put his mind at ease.

At this moment, someone from behind shouted: "It's not good, there are chasing soldiers behind!" ”

Zhang Miao and the others were taken aback. When I looked back, it turned out that the shadow of Yanzhou had already caught up.

"That's the Yanzhou Army! Archers, archers. Hurry up and shoot me in line! Zhang Miao shouted loudly.

Those archers were already a little tired because of the hurry, and now they were naturally a little flustered by Zhang Miao's panicked shout. In this way, they naturally could not calm down, and they stood in a chaotic line. Draw your bow and start aiming at the Shadow.

At this time, the shadow was closer to Zhang Miao and the others, and after Zhang Miao finished commanding the archers, he took a group of people and turned around and fled.

The archers of Yuan Shu's army calculated the range, and when they saw that the shadow had come to range, they gave an order and began to shoot at the shadow!

It's a pity that this is just useless work.

These phantoms are equipped with vine armor with excellent defensive power, and bows and arrows are completely helpless against this extremely light armor.

The soldiers of Yuan Shu were horrified to find that those Yanzhou soldiers did not dodge or dodge in the face of the rain of crossbow arrows, and those bows and arrows had no effect on the Yanzhou army's body at all.

As a result, they became even more flustered, and their ability to draw a bow and shoot arrows could not be exerted by seven points.

The shadow is getting closer and closer, and suddenly, those Yanzhou troops copied behind their backs, and everyone has an extra bow and crossbow in their hands.

The soldiers of Yuan Shu were confused at this time, how could this army still rush forward with a bow and crossbow?

It is important to know that the power of the strong crossbow is huge, not only the penetration is strong, but also the range is far more than the general bow and arrow, because of the reason of the mountain, so the aiming ability is not comparable to the bow and arrow, but the arrow is more troublesome, so long-distance attack is the best choice for the crossbow archer.

But now this crossbow team is clearly out of the ordinary.

In the midst of his doubts, he saw the shadow running and raising his bow and crossbow to start shooting at the archers of Yuan Shu's army.

How can this be done?

However, Yuan Shu's soldiers found that the strong crossbow in the hands of the Yanzhou army could be fired in a row, and it could shoot multiple crossbow arrows in a row!

What kind of bow is this?

Before Yuan Shu's army could figure out what was going on, it had already been overturned by the man who was shooting from the crossbow in the hand of the Phantom.

Yuan Shu's army was immediately in chaos, and Phantom quickly changed its arrow magazine.

There was another burst of crossbow arrows, and Yuan Shu's bow and arrow team lost one-third of its manpower, and the most important thing was that they completely lost the desire to fight, so they left their bows and arrows one after another, turned around and ran.

The desire to survive was strong, and many soldiers soon caught up with Zhang Miao's team of the family that had abandoned them.

Where did Zhang Miao think that his team of archers would not be able to stop the Yanzhou army for a while.

Shi Ah didn't show any expression on his face, on the contrary, he was faintly sad but happy in his heart.

It was only a moment before the shadow caught up.

The Shadows lowered their crossbows into their backpacks. He drew his sword and began to drive Zhang Miao's army.

The archers of Yuan Shu's army were cut to pieces. Scattered and fled.

Zhang Miao was naturally frightened, and desperately whipped his horse whip on his horse. There was blood on the horse's thighs. But compared to the children of other families, Zhang Miao is merciful.

It's a pity that everyone's riding skills are not good, and the whipping on the back of the war horse is long, but the speed does not improve.

Of course, Shi A and the others also pretended to be busy running away.

In just a few moments, Zhang Miao, the leader of the Yanzhou family, had already fallen behind.

Several ghosts who crossed the river with Shi A and pretended to be the Yuan family looked at each other and surrounded Zhang Miao from behind.

One of them, the shadow behind Zhang Miao, took out a small hand crossbow from his bosom and aimed it at the thigh of the war horse that Zhang Miao was riding on.

Zhang Miao's war horse looked up to the sky and neighed, and unexpectedly, Zhang Miao was suddenly overturned to the ground by the war horse that was in pain from eating arrows.

Of course, the Shadows weren't going to save him. The children of those big families rushed out of the mountain and took a few steps only to find that Zhang Miao had fallen off the horse, and they were horrified.

"The target of the Yanzhou Army is Miss Zhen Mi, let's go back to the city immediately, and going back now is undoubtedly a dead end."

Zhang Miao fell off his horse and had already been seen by the shadows of those who were rushing to kill Yuan Shu's soldiers, and they knew that the person was Zhang Miao, and immediately a small team of 200 people came to Zhang Miao's side, and once again picked up the repeater in his hand and shot forward. In a blink of an eye, he came to Zhang Miao's side.

Zhang Miao only stood up at this time, but found that he had been caught in the steel torrent of the Yanzhou army.

Chen Liu's family members were originally hesitating, but they were frightened by the burst of crossbow arrows, and they were in a hurry to stabilize their positions. saw that Zhang Miao had been overwhelmed by the Yanzhou army.

At this point, where did they dare to turn their heads and rescue Zhang Miao, under the leadership of Shi A. The outlaw fled to Guandu.

Only the shadow was left there, leisurely hunting and capturing Yuan Shu's soldiers.

Shi A and his entourage had just arrived at Guandu, so they hurriedly shouted. Let the defenders open the gates.

When the defenders saw that it was their own people, they hurriedly opened the city gates. Welcome this group into the city.

The guard of Guandu is Zhang Xun's brother, named Zhang Li, heard the news, and hurriedly went to the city gate to greet him, he is Zhang Xun's younger brother, although he doesn't know Shi A and that "Yuan Qiao", but he knows Yuan Jian, of course, he will not be suspicious, after all, the Yuan family is prosperous, and it is very normal to have people who don't know, and Shi A and others hurriedly met the ceremony, only to see that there was no Zhang Miao, and was surprised: "What about Lord Zhang Miao?" ”

When Chen Liu's family members heard this, they suddenly leaked a look of shame and grief and indignation.

Naturally, someone explained everything to Zhang Li. Zhang Li was shocked when he heard this: "General Zhang Miao was arrested? ”

The crowd fell silent.

Zhang Li has always been a general, not these wine bags and rice bags, although his brother has been fighting for many years and has extremely rich experience in the battlefield, he thought about it for a while, frowned and said: "This thing is really strange, how did the Yanzhou army appear?" Even the army of Liang Xi on the other side of the river, after killing the men we left behind, it was impossible for them to land in a boat so quickly, and then quickly catch up with Lord Zhang Miao's team? ”

Zhang Li's words are also a question in the hearts of many people.

Zhang Li thought for a while, frowned and said, "Could it be Zhang Yan's ghost?" But this is impossible, my brother and Mr. Chen Gong have already monitored Zhang Yan with all their might, and it is impossible for such a large-scale army to cross the river without seeing it! ”

While he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of killing outside, Zhang Li and the others changed their faces, and hurriedly climbed the city tower to look, but saw that those shadows had already come outside the city.

Zhang Li looked at the pitiful shadow outside the city, and said inexplicably: "Are these people?" It looks like it's less than three thousand. ”

The "Yuan Qiao" interface made of the shadow said in a deep voice: "General Zhang Li, don't underestimate this army, the strong crossbows in their hands can shoot in a row, and they can shoot many crossbow arrows continuously at a time, which is simply impossible to prevent." ”

Zhang Li's face changed when he heard this: "What? How is this possible!? Looking at the faces of the children of other families, Zhang Lizhi said that "Yuan Qiao" was telling the truth, and he hesitated and said, "How is this good?" ”

"Yuan Qiao" snickered in his heart. On the surface, he said anxiously: "The bows and crossbows of this army are so powerful, our city head has no ability to suppress their siege with bows and arrows." I'm afraid that Guandu won't be able to guard for a long time. ”

Zhang Li's face turned white all of a sudden. In this era of cold weapons, long-range weapons used to defend the city are indispensable. Then there need to be soldiers who can stand at the head of the city and shoot outside the city, even if they throw rolling logs and stones at the bottom of the city against the enemy who has already climbed the city, then it needs their own people to occupy the top of the city.

However, the Yanzhou army in front of him had to use the crossbow to suppress the city head with shooting, which was actually equivalent to losing half of this kind of city. If it weren't for the superiority of his own numbers, I was afraid that Zhang Li would soon choose to abandon the city and escape.

Shi A and the others all secretly snickered when they looked at him, although the power of this repeater proposed by Xu Ji was huge, but the problem of the relative repeater was also huge, its range was its hard wound, although it had the ability to shoot continuously, its range was far less than that of ordinary bows and arrows. So it was impossible to suppress the head of the city at all.

Of course, "Yuan Qiao" and others said this alarmist, and the purpose was of course to make Zhang Li panic and make a stupid move.

Looking at Zhang Li's appearance, Shi A said in a deep voice: "For today's plan, it is best to send people to various other cities to ask for help, Lord Zhang Miao has already done this by the river just now, but then other cities may not send reinforcements, now it shows that Guandu is in a precarious situation, and the generals of other cities will definitely send reinforcements." After all, although the opponent has strong attack power, their number is very small. We still have 10,000 men anyway, and although they can break through the walls, they can't besiege them on all sides. We just sent people out of the city to ask for help. As for the city, the opposing army's army was obviously all in the northern city wall. We moved most of our troops here just in case. ”

Zhang Li nodded again and again: "This is a way." ”

"Yuan Qiao" said hurriedly: "But this is just far from quenching the thirst, with the power of the strong crossbows in the hands of those Yanzhou troops, the reinforcements have not yet arrived." Guandu was breached. ”

Zhang Li's mind was already bad at this time, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Shi A said in a deep voice: "The Yanzhou army is here. There were not many of them, and it was clearly not for the siege. But for the sake of Miss Zhen Mi, for the sake of today, we must send Miss Zhen Mi out of the city immediately, so that we can distract the attention of the Yanzhou army, and they will turn around and chase after them, and Guandu will naturally have no worries. ”

Zhang Li nodded, frowned, and said, "But it will be very dangerous for Miss Zhen Mi to do this." ”

Shi A shook his head and said: "This will not be, because there is no cavalry in this Yanzhou army, as long as we send Miss Zhen Mi on horseback, there will be no problem." ”

Zhang Li suddenly said: "I see. ”

Shi A said again: "In order to confuse the Yanzhou army, we might as well send a small army out of the city from the west gate, make a posture of taking Miss Zhen Mi straight to Zhongmu, and then open the east gate and send Miss Zhen Mi to Chenliu." ”

Zhang Li was dazed and didn't know that death was coming, so he patted his thigh and said, "This plan is wonderful!" ”

Shi A gave "Yuan Qiao" a look, then said goodbye to Zhang Li and went to the city.

Zhang Li saw that the Yanzhou army was completely on the north gate, so he transferred most of the troops in the city to the north city wall to assemble.

Shi A got down the city wall and said in a deep voice to "Yuan Qiao": "After opening the east gate later, you will take Miss Zhen Mi to the east on horseback, and when our army enters the city from the west gate, you will turn around and march north, all the way to the Guandu River, where we still have three hundred shadows to meet by the river, you have to send Miss Zhen Mi back safely, understand?" ”

The "Yuan Qiao" nodded, and then took twenty shadows, and rushed to the south gate together with Yuan Jian and Zhen Fu, and when they arrived at the south gate, after opening the city gate, they walked away.

And here, Shi Ah came to the west gate with the remaining eighty shadows, and shouted to the soldiers guarding the city gate, "Open the door to General Ben!" ”

These soldiers have already received Zhang Li's military order, and they know that this team of men and horses is going to pretend to send Zhen Mi out of the city at the West Gate, where do they dare to slacken? Hurriedly opened the city gates.

Seeing that the time had come, Shi Ah waved his hand, and the shadow behind him suddenly drew his horse chopping knife and slashed wildly towards the enemy.

There were not many people on the western wall because of the tension, and there were even fewer people guarding the gates.

At this time, the phantom suddenly attacked, of course, there was no way to resist.

Shi Ah personally led 80 Phantoms to defend the city gates, while the remaining 20 Phantoms rushed out of the city gates and led the 2,000 Phantoms outside the northern city into the city through the west gate.

Zhang Li hadn't gotten the news at this time, but he saw that the Yanzhou army outside the city suddenly turned around and drove to the west gate, and thought that the Yanzhou army had a plan and wanted to go to the west gate to chase Zhen Mi, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

At this moment, someone exclaimed, "What's the matter? Yuan Qiao, why didn't they take Miss Zhen Mi to flee to Chenliu, but ran north? Isn't that the area controlled by the Yanzhou Army? ”

When Zhang Li heard this, he looked over, and sure enough, he saw "Yuan Qiao" fleeing to the north with those two dozen people, and he couldn't help but be confused.

At this moment, a soldier guarding the west gate ran up to the north city wall with a rolling belt, and said breathlessly: "General, it's not good, the west gate is lost!" ”

Zhang Li was shocked when he heard this, grabbed the soldier, and shouted, "What did you say? ”

At this moment, I heard only countless voices from the west: "The city is broken!" The city is broken! The Yanzhou army has entered the city! ”

Suddenly, the people around Zhang Li were all panicked and shocked.

As a result, Guandu City began to get out of control.

Zhang Li looked blankly at the Quartet, and four words came out of his heart: The general trend has gone!

And what puzzled Zhang Li the most was how these Yanzhou troops broke the city, everything happened too fast, he didn't even have time to make any reaction and fell into complete passivity, now the situation is unknown, Zhang Li looked at the direction of the West Gate and the soldiers around him were already panicking.
