Chapter 632: Strange City
There was no more time to sigh, Zhang He quickly took a deep breath, lowered his voice and shouted: "Get off the horse and rest!" We have three quarters of an hour! ”
No one answered, but all the warriors turned over and dismounted in unison, and sat quietly in place.
Some fighters even took out the little dry food left to fill their stomachs first, but as battle-hardened warriors, they knew very well how much they could eat now so as not to affect their fighting state.
Other warriors, with their eyes closed and their energy reserved, understood that what would happen was a vicious battle.
Zhang He's sturdy body sat on the edge of the tree, his head slightly buried, the spear was stuck obliquely on the ground, his eyes were half-closed and half-open, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was in a small drink, but from a distance, under the dim light of the night, he was like a sedentary god, and the big tree behind him, like the hideous magic tree in the dark, fixed a beautiful picture.
Time passed slowly, and when the time came, Zhang He moved, like a giant awakened, and got up violently.
"According to the original plan, go to battle!"
In an instant, the soldiers woke up, refreshed themselves, and turned on their horses.
"Kill!" The soldiers suddenly roared loudly, and the sound shook the sky, and I am afraid that even the guards who were far away in the head of Duling County could hear it.
"Brothers, retreat, retreat!" Some of them screamed again.
Zhang He seemed to think it was a little funny, but he quickly put away his smile and shouted in a deep voice: "Louder, it's not loud enough!" ”
After that, he didn't say anything more, and led five hundred horsemen to gallop wildly, and waited for a far, long run. It was already approaching the city of Duling. Then a thousand horsemen chased after him. shouted loudly to kill, looking like he was chasing and killing, but the speed was not fast.
The other 500 people did not move, but just stood in place, shouting at the top of their lungs, crying and howling, some imitating the screams of the pursuers, and some imitating the shouts of the pursuers. Occasionally, there are terrible screams.
The sound was heard far and wide in the silent wilderness, and if it was heard from afar, it was as if thousands of armies were fighting there.
The warriors also violently collided with each other with their weapons, and let out "Bell! Clang! Clang! The sound of metal spread to all directions.
At this time, Zhang He had already rushed to the city and shouted loudly to the captain at the head of the city: "Open the city gate quickly, let me in, the Jingzhou army is coming!" ”
Du Ling had already sounded the earth-shattering alarm bell, but they didn't expect this situation to suddenly appear, and they were not prepared. The guard general Chen Zhi was even more far away in the county government to rest, from hearing the voice. It will take a long time to put on the armor and gallop over the horse.
It's just that the defenders of Duling County are not afraid, because there are more than a thousand people in the city, which is completely enough to resist for a moment, and more warriors will come quickly.
"Which part are you?" The young general on duty guarding the city was not stupid, and questioned quickly.
Zhang He was not afraid of the archers pointing at him at the head of the city, but instead scolded angrily: "Fuck, open the door to Lao Tzu, didn't you see the Jingzhou army coming, I am General Cao Zhen's subordinate." ”
"Where is General Cao Zhen now?" The castle guard hurriedly asked.
In fact, he was quite panicked, because the shouting and killing in the darkness was getting louder and louder, and there were a thousand cavalry chasing this side in the distance, and he was afraid that the city was really the general on his side, and if he really died in front of him because he didn't open the door, he couldn't afford it.
Especially the generals of the Cao family, everyone knows that if it is found out afterwards that something went wrong, when the autumn is settled, there are not many people who can afford it, and a young general like him is obviously not among them.
"General Cao Zhen is trapped behind him, and he hasn't rushed out yet, let Lao Tzu in first, and I'll go to Chen Zhi to discuss how to save General Cao." Zhang He scolded, looking extremely anxious. "If you don't fucking open the door again, you've delayed the big thing, not only will I die here, but you won't be able to find the place where General Cao Zhen is trapped, and when the time comes, you will fucking kill General Cao Zhen, and you will have to come down to bury Lao Tzu!"
The soldiers behind Zhang He are all veterans of a hundred battles, and everyone is sensible enough, otherwise how could they survive from so many battlefields.
There was an earth-shattering scolding sound on the spot, crying dad and calling mother, that ferocity, Zhang Hedu didn't expect, it's even more like the real thing!
Zhang He pretended to look back anxiously behind him, and scolded again: "Fuck you, so many brothers are here, are you watching being slaughtered?" Hurry, hurry, the cavalry behind is coming. ”
As he spoke, as if he suddenly remembered something, he suddenly took out two big seals from his arms, and suddenly threw them on the city: "Damn, this is the big seal of the dead ghost county order in Lantian County, as well as the seal of the guard, we retreated to Lantian at first, and I brought it back when the city was broken, now you have to believe it!" ”
In fact, if you take this out at the beginning, it is absolutely meaningless, but when a big scolding makes the guard uneasy, he suddenly sees these two things, as if he suddenly got a psychological explanation, although objectively these two things are not convincing at all, but at this special time, it inadvertently brings a psychological hint.
Of course, Zhang He doesn't know psychological hints, but he comes from a humble background, grows up all the way, and has rich experience in understanding human nature.
"Open the door! Open the door, archers on alert! ”
The city gate guards were really fooled, and seeing that the cavalry in the rear was getting closer and closer, he was also anxious at the moment.
In fact, the speed of the cavalry in the rear was not fast, the war horses were just jogging, but the soldiers on the horses were pretending to be sweating profusely and were charging, but by the dark night, after the distance was a little farther, there was a kind of blinding effect, and it looked like they were running wildly.
Coupled with the farther away that is difficult to see with the naked eye, there is also the earth-shattering sound of fighting, this kind of momentum method, not to mention this young general, even a famous general can't be distinguished, because it can't be seen at all, how to distinguish?
The only way is to be ruthless, even if it's really from your own side, as long as you don't know it, you will be shut out.
Otherwise, the only way to do this is to organize soldiers to go out, or in short, not to let them enter the city.
It's a pity, obviously this young player can't do either, and he doesn't have the ability and ability to bear it. Especially it is also related to Cao Zhen's life and death.
I saw the gates of the city gradually open. Zhang merged with no excitement. Instead, he shouted loudly to the guards at the head of the city: "Brother, thank you, you go and inform General Chen Zhi and ask him to come to the city wall quickly, the enemy army is strong, I will resist the city head first!" Remember, you must sue him quickly, Du Ling if he loses. The consequences are unimaginable, wait to block the Jingzhou army, and then try to rescue General Cao Zhen. ”
The young general had already preconceived, thinking that the general under the city was Cao Zhen's general, and his position was higher than his own, so when he heard this, he did not doubt him, and resolutely obeyed the order: "Okay, the last general will go!" ”
It's a slow time, but it's actually very fast. The city gate was also wide open at this moment, and the young general would not run down the city wall without heading. Ran to find Chen.
Zhang closed his eyes, and then shouted: "Hurry up and enter the city!" ”
"Boom!"
The Jingzhou army rushed into the city, and Zhang He did not rush to order the killing.
Because the young general returned to the county government to report, it was just a whim, I didn't think that he would really obey the order in person, and now it is inexplicably beyond expectations, and he gets the command, and he is immediately overjoyed, and decisively shouts the order: "The archers retreat, the long soldiers step forward, and the rolling stones and sassals are ready!" ”
"Rolling stone sasswood?"
The colonels of the various ministries were stunned for a moment, but it is their duty to obey orders, these people have no one to command at the moment, so they naturally obeyed the orders of this "senior general", anyway, the rolling stone and wood at the head of the city are also defensive weapons, and they are a conventional way of defense, and they are shouted one after another, and the orders are gradually transmitted to the entire city wall.
It's just that how do they know that now all the cavalry is rushing, there is no infantry at all, and they can only enter through the city gate, if there are too many archers, concentrated shooting will inevitably cause casualties, but what is the use of rolling stone and wood preparations, throwing down from the stretching city wall and smashing the air?
As for the position above the city gate, Zhang Liao must have personally led people to occupy it, and those veterans in Jingzhou even retreated the soldiers in charge of the city gate, and let them go to the city to face the battle, but they came to close it in person, but the speed of closing the gate was as slow as it was, but unfortunately no one could see it.
The 1,000 cavalry in the distance had already seen Zhang He leading his troops into the city, and at this moment, under the leadership of the two chief and deputy superiors, Jun Sima and Du Bo, they really began to gallop wildly.
At this moment, Zhang He had already stood on the tower above the city gate, surrounded by more than 100 Jingzhou soldiers who had dismounted from their horses.
When a thousand cavalry charged, and even slowly became narrow and long, gradually forming a long column and rushing towards the city gate, all the guards were stunned, and there was only one thought in their hearts, are this Jingzhou soldiers crazy? The cavalry went directly to hit the city gate?
But the next moment they understood, because the other party did not hit the city gate, but rushed directly into the city like a torrent.
At the moment when they were frightened, Zhang He was already thundering and roaring: "Kill!" ”
This night was destined to be extraordinary, and the two thousand iron cavalry of the Eastern Army entered Duling, and Zhang He inadvertently created a miracle of war.
At this time, from the beginning of the Jingzhou soldiers to scream and kill, it was less than a quarter of an hour in total.
When Chen arrived, he happened to see that Jingzhou's iron cavalry was rushing into the city in a steady stream, he didn't know how many people came from Jingzhou, and the soldiers of the entire Duling were all scattered in all directions, and they couldn't effectively command at all, he understood that the loss was inevitable.
Before he had time to think about the reason, he was already wielding an iron spear to fight.
Zhang He had already seen him in the city, although he didn't know him, it was enough to see from the skill of the generals and his command of the soldiers.
Seeing his extraordinary bravery, he couldn't help but hurried down the city wall, grabbed a war horse casually, and rushed away at him.
Chen Zhi is second only to Zhao Yun in history, and is also known for his loyalty and bravery, and his martial arts are only slightly inferior to Zhao Yun and others.
The two fought fiercely on the streets of Duling for seventy or eighty times, galloping for several streets but there was no victory, Chen Zhi also dispelled the idea of killing the thief, took a moment to retreat to a few meters away, and asked: "What is your name?" ”
"Under the command of Wang Xu, Marquis of Taoyang, General Yingyang, Zhang He in the river!"
Zhang He also had respect for Chen Zhi's martial arts and reported his identity and name.
"Under the command of Captain Sili Zhong Xuan, Captain Zuo, Chen arrives!"
After reporting his name, Chen Zhiyao confronted Zhang He for a moment, heard the shouts and killings in all directions had gradually faded, and knew that the general trend had gone, so he immediately turned the horse's head and ran away, only to hear his loud voice from afar: "Zhang He, this defeat, if he is not convinced, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely have a real showdown with you!" ”
"Hahaha......" Zhang He was full of pride: "I'm waiting for you!" ”
At this moment, the sky was already bright, and even Feng Xi hurried to arrive with his foot soldiers, he was looking for Zhang He, but he happened to see the scene just now, and immediately couldn't help urging him to step forward: "General Zhang, why don't you leave this person behind?" ”
"I can't keep him alone!" Zhang He smiled and said lightly: "This person is not only a fierce general, but also has a strong insight, he and I fought here, if I can be killed, I will be killed, and if I can't be killed, I can break through to the north gate, because judging from the shouting of killing, the north gate has not been completely controlled by us, and he has the ability to kill it." ”
"It's a pity that if there are too few soldiers, this person will be captured alive today, if you can lead the troops to arrive half an hour earlier, it would be good!"
After listening to this, Feng Xi had a little apology on his face: "General Zhang, I'm sorry!" ”
"It doesn't have to be like this, the foot soldiers are already tired, and it is extremely difficult to arrive at this time, I just sigh a little, you don't need to mind!" Zhang He waved his hand disappreciatively, and quickly changed the topic: "Let's go, do your best to clean up the mess and rectify the city defense, I'm afraid that the Cao army will counterattack next, and there will be a few fierce battles." Also, immediately send someone to inform General Gao Shun that we will support the more than 4,000 people in Duling for two to three days at most, and he will definitely try to support them. ”
"No!"
Feng Xilang answered the order...... (To be continued......)
