With this constant shouting, he was forced to rush to the front in the shield soldier camp, and when he couldn't see the soldiers under his command in front of him, he had already rushed to the forefront, and this is also the most dangerous place, after all, the iron shield in their hands can only protect the upper body, and the legs can not be effectively defended, which also makes the people who rush to the front always the most casualties.

It's just that knowing this, Zhang He can't control so much at this moment, what he has to do at this moment is to rush to the city with the smallest sacrifice, and plant explosives and break the west gate of Ye County, only in this way can the army enter the city and carry out a face-to-face blow to the Wei army in the city.

Zhang He rushed to the forefront, and his appearance did play a role in motivating the morale of the army, especially the soldiers of the Celestial Empire who were standing beside him and left and right, seeing that the main generals had rushed to the front line, they all felt a heroic heart in their hearts, and they felt that their bodies seemed to be full of momentum.

And this impulse, coupled with Zhang He's leading role and guidance, the shield soldiers who were walking in the front suddenly began to accelerate, and even because the speed was too fast, they actually opened a certain distance from their own archers who were the second echelon behind them.

Because of Zhang He's bravery, the shield soldiers rushed to the city gate under the unexpected situation of the other party, and then some soldiers stepped forward to place explosives, lit the fuse and retreated. "Withdraw!" Seeing that everything was done, Zhang He retreated with the shield soldiers.

It was not until this moment that the archers of the other gates could not rush to the gate of the west city of Ye County, but what was waiting for them was the shield soldiers of the Fourth Legion who had receded like a tide.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Celestial Empire had begun to retreat, Cao Zhen knew that they must have put the explosives away, and at this moment he was furious, knowing that it was too late to do anything, but under his anger, he still ordered ten thousand arrows to be fired.

Cao Zhen was angry with this order, and even he knew that after this order was issued, it was likely that the tens of thousands of archers would not be able to retreat under the city tower in time, but in order to inflict heavy losses on the opponent, he still chose to do so.

After the order was given, Cao Zhen quickly descended the city tower, he knew that it would not be long before this place would explode, and the four archers who had just gathered on the city tower would also be destroyed with the huge explosion, just to be able to give the opponent a heavy blow, he could only let the archers die.

Bows and arrows are still falling like showers, and the shield soldiers of the four legions under the city have also increased a lot of casualties because of the rain of arrows, just for a while, there are nearly two thousand soldiers who were shot by arrows, and even most of them were shot to death, that is, the legion commander Zhang He was also shot in the left calf with an arrow, and was saved by the soldiers around him.

Zhang He, who was protected by the shield soldiers, was carried by everyone, and seeing a brother killed by an arrow in front of him, he just felt that his heart was dripping blood, but all he could do was clench his fists, and he wanted to wait for the West City Gate to be blown open, and then lead the soldiers to take revenge.

"Boom!"

This wait did not last long, with a loud bang, the explosives placed in front of the west city gate finally exploded, with a loud bang, the entire city gate was blown open a big hole, and many Wei archers on the city tower fell down unprepared.

"The archers are fighting back with all their might." Zhang He seized this opportunity and gave orders loudly. For a while, the archers of the four legions opened their bows, and their bows and arrows rushed away, falling on the Wei archers who fell from the city gates.

Originally, when the city gate collapsed, there were some lucky archers who did not die because they landed on the bodies of their companions, and some were even slightly injured, if they could be given a certain amount of time, it would be no problem to escape back to the city. But now the bows and arrows flew in, and without any shelter, these people became live targets, and they could only watch as the bows and arrows flew from far and near, and finally pierced their bodies.

Because the city gate was bombed, the arrogance of the Wei archers was completely suppressed, and at this opportunity, Zhang He, who was tied with a white bandage on his calf, charged forward, and personally rushed forward with a large number of pikemen, broadsword soldiers and halberd soldiers of the four legions.

Speaking of which, it's not the first time I've seen the power of explosives, as early as when he killed General Gao Gan, Cao Zhen had seen the power of this thing. It's just that at that time, the explosives were dispersed into countless parts by Gao Gan, and the power naturally became much smaller. Where is it like this time, the power of coming together?

Seeing that he had just stepped down from the city tower, there was a trembling feeling under his feet, and then before the West City Tower, it seemed that a heaven-swallowing divine beast suddenly appeared, and in the blink of an eye, most of the West City Gate was gone, and the original nearly 20,000 archers were also devoured a lot, and the rest of the others also lost their fighting spirit in shock.

All this in Cao Zhen's eyes made him frightened, and he suddenly had a feeling, that is, under the power of such a powerful weapon, who would be the opponent of the Celestial Empire's army? Wei State can't do it, I'm afraid that Liu Bei's newly formed Han can't either.

"General, the enemy has entered the city, and the brothers are a little overwhelmed." Cao Zhen was still shocked by what was happening in front of him, and when he was still shocked by the power of the explosives, a commander came to him, knelt on the ground, and asked for instructions with an anxious face.

"Oh, tell the soldiers to fight and retreat, to fight back through the streets of the city, and to give them the right opportunity to break out." Cao Zhen was pulled back to reality from fantasy by this shout, thinking that if the city gate was broken, then the matter would be the worst plan, and now the plan is only one last way, that is, to find an opportunity to break out, and it is obviously not easy to do this, but if the 100,000 troops break through separately, it will increase the possibility that he will take Cao Pigongzi out of the city.

The outbreak of war is naturally cruel, but at the same time, there is a lot of luck in it. For example, some people can make a fortune by relying on war, some people can rely on war to achieve a certain goal, and if a true wise man is defeated, he can also find an opportunity to escape, and then rise in Dongshan.

Therefore, after entering Ye County, Cao Pi had already prepared for the worst, that is, once the city was broken, what should he do to really escape?

Cao Pi does love his soldiers very much, and as a person who can achieve great things, this seems to be one of the conditions that must be met. It's just that when his life is also threatened, the first thing he has to do is how to ensure his safety. And in order to achieve this goal, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his 100,000 soldiers, in his opinion, as long as he could escape, the loss was worth it.

After the commander who knelt on the ground listened to Cao Pi's words, his body was shocked, and he even thought that he had heard it wrong. It's hard to believe that the general allowed the soldiers below to break out on their own.

Maybe the commander thinks that with Cao Pi and Cao Zhen here, they will definitely resist to the death, if the order is given, it should be to fight to the last person, and it should be fought to the end, not to allow everyone to break through now, because this is equivalent to giving up the last chance to fight with the enemy.

The commander didn't understand a little, so he still knelt on the ground after listening to the order, but Cao Pi watched his order be given, but his general did not reply, so he said: "What? Isn't my command clear enough? ”

"Oh, clear, clear, the last general is going to give orders." When the commander knew that everything was true, he replied happily in his heart, and then turned around and went to give the order.

The order was then issued, and soon the Wei army knew about it. Many of them had the same idea as this commander, that is, seeing that the general situation was going away, the second prince and General Cao Zhen would definitely order the final resistance, and in this case, they would have to fight to the death in Ye County. For this reason, some commanders, and even captains, began to have their own little ninety-nine in their hearts, that is, this is the case, do they really want to resist desperately?

Knowing that they are surrounded, knowing that they have no way out, what is the point of continuing to resist? Killing a few more Celestial Empire soldiers doesn't seem to make a difference to those who are bound to die.

"If that's the case, I'll surrender at that time, nothing is more important than my own life." Some generals and soldiers thought the same thing in their hearts.

But what no one guessed was that General Cao Zhen actually ordered everyone to break through, and they broke through at will, without asking for instructions at all. In their opinion, it is of course the best not to surrender, and in the case of no need to surrender, and there is still a glimmer of life, they will naturally choose without hesitation.

In fact, this is exactly what Cao Pi and Cao Zhen need, and they also consider that in the face of no chance to live, let the soldiers make the last resistance, I am afraid that not everyone will agree, if one is not good, a mutiny on the battlefield is also possible.

It's really like that, don't say that you want to escape, you may not know how to die.

In this way, they came up with the idea of dispersing and breaking through freely, which not only mobilized everyone's enthusiasm, but also gave themselves the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos. Think about it, when there is a glimmer of hope, who can not go all out?

Therefore, not long after Cao Zhen's order was issued, he found Cao Pigongzi, and the two of them and the trusted soldiers around them also changed their original military uniforms, and took out the common people's clothes that had been prepared long ago, put them on, and hid in the city.
