Chapter 227: Battle for the City Gate

"I can't wait any longer, I ordered to go down and prepare to start" Although there is no news from the fifty cavalry so far, the time agreed with the city is about to come, and it will take another ten miles to raid before reaching Fenyang County. Gao Shun decided to go on the offensive.

The checkpoint built on the mountain road, the city wall is only two zhang high, and it is not very wide, and it can only accommodate dozens of people to defend. The only trouble is that two arrow towers were built on both sides, more than ten zhang high, and there were more than fifty archers on each of them, condescending.

A shout of murder sounded, and countless soldiers rushed out of the mountains and forests, simply assembled on the official road, and rushed towards the checkpoint. One of the generals at the head, with slender arms and a long knife in his hand, is Zhang Yi.

"Kill me" Zhang Yi roared angrily and rushed towards the level first.

Yuan Qi's heart sank, what he was worried about still happened, seeing countless soldiers rushing towards the checkpoint, carrying a simple ladder in front of him, with the height of the wall, as long as the short ladder can be built on the city wall, the soldiers can stab the defenders of the wall to death with spears as long as they climb two sections.

The situation is dire.

"Release the arrows, release the arrows quickly" Yuan Qi roared, commanded the archers on the arrow towers on both sides to release the arrows, and turned to a personal soldier and said.

"You bring a few people, and you want to ask for help in Fenyang County. Prepare the county for defense"

Yuan Qi also knew that it was a little unrealistic to rely on this small pass to resist the opponent's attack.

With Yuan Qi's order, one by one feathered arrows fell, shooting the soldiers of the city wall below to the ground, the archers were condescending, and kept releasing arrows, and the soldiers also fell one by one, although they could resist some with shields, but there were no effective countermeasures, and the casualties would undoubtedly be much greater.

Zhang Yi's long knife swept away the arrows and roared angrily.

"Give it to me" took the lead and climbed up the short ladder. The soldier on the wall raised his gun and stabbed, but was dodged by Zhang Yi sideways, and the pikeman withdrew his spear and was about to stab again, but Zhang Yi had already come to the front and the long knife was cut out. The barrel of rosewood's spear was split in two, and the castration did not abate in the slightest, and the long knife slashed through the pikeman's abdomen, and he fell to the door with a scream. Zhang Yi also took the opportunity to jump to the wall, and with a foothold, Zhang Yi's long knife flew and killed the Quartet.

The archers on the arrow towers on both sides were still releasing arrows, and when the wall was about to be captured, there was a sound of horses' hooves on the mountain road to the south, Zhang Yi was shocked and looked back. After a short period of distraction, an arrow came from above, Zhang Yi wanted to dodge, but it was too late, and he shot Zhang Yi in the shoulder with a pop. The long knife could no longer be held steadily, and it fell under the gate with a bang, and several guards hurriedly stepped forward to cover Zhang Yi's retreat.

"I am the cavalry captain Lu Bu, the order of the general of the north of the town, to assist in the siege of the city, where is the high capital captain?"

After a shout, Lu Bu rushed to the official road and stopped in front of the formation.

"With the help of Captain Lu, why worry about not being able to capture this Fenyang county town" Gao Shun also laughed and came to the front of the battle.

When Lu Bu saw Gao Shun, a familiar feeling came to his heart, as if he was in a different world, and the last time he saw him was two years ago. At this moment, he heard a scream on the city wall, and Gao Shun's face changed greatly.

"Zhang Sima was hit by an arrow, come forward to rescue"

Lu Bu also looked over, it turned out that it was his own rash appearance, which affected the generals who were besieging the city, and he fell in the middle and was injured, and he felt a little guilty in his heart. Hurriedly rode away, the war horse galloped to the front of the pass, and Lu Bu jumped up to the wall.

The halberd swept across, and a month and a half slashed out, and several defenders suddenly became two, and blood spilled out. The scene was extremely bloody and terrifying, Lu Bu was a little unhappy in his heart, and now that he had a place to be angry, he naturally couldn't let it go, and he rushed to kill on the wall single-handedly, Yuan Qi stepped forward to stop it, and in just one round, his head was cut off, and all the guards saw this scene, and they threw down their weapons and fled for their lives.

The archers above were suddenly in a dilemma, not knowing whether to release their arrows or not.

But Lu Bu didn't give them a chance to think, and the halberd slammed at the bottom of the arrow tower, and the arrow tower built of wood was broken in response, and the entire arrow tower fell to the ground with a bang. Lu Bu split the two arrow towers twice, and the archers on the arrow towers all fell to death on the spot.

Gao Shun knew that Lu Bu's martial arts were powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful, and he broke through the level so quickly alone.

"Captain Lu, it has been a quarter of an hour since the siege of the city just now, presumably the guard general has already wanted to ask for help from Fenyang County, and he must rush to the city gate as soon as possible, and take the east gate of Fenyang before the deployment of Fenyang County is completed."

"Okay, I'll lead a few brothers, go first, and Captain Gao will follow"

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he took more than ten cavalry and rushed towards Fenyang County.

On the city gate of Fenyang County, Yang Lin was still waiting, it had been two hours, and that guy hadn't come back yet, so he couldn't help but be a little irritable.

"Third son, are you waiting for someone" Li Ao is the guard of the East City Gate of Fenyang County, born with divine power and extraordinary martial arts, and was ordered by the director of the Yang family to be the captain, leading two thousand soldiers to guard the East City Gate of Fenyang.

Li Ao is not very interested in this third son, but after all, he is the son of the Yang family, and he still has to have the etiquette, seeing that the third prince has been waiting on the city wall, he stepped forward to ask.

"Captain Li doesn't have to worry about me, I'll just take a look here," Yang Lin said casually.

Li Ao also looked down a few words, and the bustling people under the city wall came in and out, but there was a group of people who were always wandering around the city wall, which attracted his attention. His instincts told him that there was something wrong with these people.

Ignoring Yang Lin at the moment, he walked to the side of a tun chief and whispered.

"Arrest these guys"

The tun chief agreed, and was about to lead the soldiers to go down to the city to arrest people, when he suddenly saw a fast horse rushing on the mountain road in the distance. The horses were disheveled, apparently after a long run.

"Captain Li, something is wrong. Someone is attacking the pass, Yang Sima asks you to send troops to support"

Li Ao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said.

"Who is the other party and how many people are there?"

"The Han army is dressed up, there are about 5,000 people"

Li Ao's heart sank, knowing that the checkpoint would definitely not be able to be held, so he hurriedly said loudly.

"Enter the city quickly, close the gates"

Li Ao's voice made the soldiers trapped in the camp shocked, how could there be soldiers who escaped to deliver letters, didn't they leave more than a dozen brothers in ambush along the way.

It turned out that this messenger was quite clever, and there was only one official road outside, but there were several small roads in the pass, so he bypassed the official road and took the small road, becoming a fish that slipped through the net.

It is too late to wait for the fifth day of the "hands-on", and now it can only prevent the gate of Fenyang County from closing.

The hundred and ten soldiers in the trapping camp brought by Hou Wu made a brazen attack, and they were immediately caught off guard. Dozens of defenders who came to close the city gates were slaughtered.

The change at the city gate made Li Ao's brows tighten, and now he didn't know when the Han army would arrive, and the city gate was difficult to close for a while, which made him anxious.

"Dispatch 500 archers, shoot all the Han troops in the gate, close and close the city gate"
