Chapter 82: Out of the City
Zhao Jian led four knights and a troika, and after rushing onto the avenue, he ran towards the north gate, leaving the pursuing Tufan soldiers far behind.
When they were approaching the north gate, suddenly three cannons rang out in the city, two in a hurry and one in a hurry. After Zhao Jian heard this, he turned back and shouted to the cavalry who followed: "They are going to seal the city gate, everyone speed up and rush out with all your might!"
After a while, the group rushed to the north gate city wall, but saw a group of Tufan soldiers closing the gate, Zhao Jian signaled, a cavalry shouted to the officers and soldiers guarding the city: "Emergency military situation, ordered to go out of the city, do not close the city gate!"
A colonel and five or six soldiers stood up and blocked the gates, and the officers asked in a loud voice, "The gates have been sealed and no one is allowed to enter or leave except with a decree from General Kunding." ”
The group had to hold the reins and stop the horse, and one person conveyed the words of the school officer to Zhao Jian, Zhao Jian looked around, and saw that there were only about 20 soldiers around the city gate, and there were no heavy guards at the city gate here. However, a large number of Tufan pursuers are about to rush over, and the situation is very critical, and now only by risking death can they have a chance to rush out.
After making up his mind, Zhao Jian drove his horse to the school officer and shouted: "Give you an order!" raised his hand and waved his sword, and before the school officer could understand what the other party shouted, a head flew into the air, and blood spurted out, frightening the soldiers next to him to retreat again and again.
"Kill!" With Zhao Jian's order, the four cavalrymen immediately drew their swords and slashed at the door of the soldiers defending the city, four or five soldiers fell in response, and the remaining soldiers raised their guns and surrounded them, entangled with Zhao Jian and others.
Suddenly, two Tufan soldiers flew into the air and crashed into the city wall, and suddenly ** collapsed, leaving two terrifying blood stains on the city wall. When the other Tufan soldiers looked back, they saw a giant beast standing behind them, glaring angrily, and an even bigger beast was rushing behind them, and they were immediately frightened.
The rest of the Tufan soldiers all retreated into the city gate cave, and Zhao Jian and the others forced them to retreat close to the city gate with their swords, followed by Wu Kui and Putong, two giants. The Tufan soldiers disarmed and surrendered, and Zhao Jian asked them to quickly open the lock on the gate, but the Tufan soldiers looked at each other, but no one moved.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves came, and Zhao Jian looked back to see that it was Xue Mu Cuo and others who had arrived, and Xue Mu Co shouted while rushing to this side: "Hurry, hurry! The enemy soldiers are behind, and they will arrive soon." Looking at him, sure enough, the black pressed a crowd of pursuers and rushed towards him with a shout.
As soon as the Tufan soldier shook his head, Wu Kui slammed him on the door, and the soldier immediately bled and was killed on the door.
The other Tufan soldiers immediately knelt on the ground in fright and begged for mercy, and one of the Tufan soldiers trembled and said, "My lord, spare my life, I, I, as soon as I was scared, I shoved the key through the crack in the door and stuffed it out of the door." ”
Wu Kui was furious, kicked away a few soldiers in front of the door, and then slammed into the gate, once, twice, the door shook twice, and it was still closed.
At this time, Plop screamed, she motioned to Wu Kui to get out of the way, and after Wu Kui got out of the way, she saw Plop take two steps back, and then suddenly rushed forward and slammed into the door. There was a loud "boom", and the gate collapsed.
The group rushed out of the north gate, and the Tufan pursuers had arrived, following closely behind. Zhao Jian and the others could only whip up their horses and rush forward with all their might, but the two carriages were already overwhelmed because of pulling Wu Kui and Plopping, and the slower they ran, and the distance between them and the chasing soldiers behind them was getting closer and closer.
Zhao Jian had no choice but to slow down and wait for the carriage behind, at this time, Tufan's cavalry team quickly caught up from behind, and overtook them from both flanks, slowly surrounding them in the middle.
Zhao Jian had no choice but to stop his horse, and the group was surrounded by more than a thousand Tufan soldiers, Zhao Jian pulled out his sword and held it in his hand, looked left and right, ready to fight to the death with the enemy.
Wu Kui and Putong also got out of the car, Wu Kui carried the machete in his hand on his shoulder, glared at the Tufan soldiers angrily, Putong also picked up the big tree from the ground and pinched it in his hand, shaking it at the pursuers.
After the Tufan soldiers surrounded a few of them, they did not dare to rush forward because they were afraid of the two giants, and hundreds of archers drew their bows and arrows and aimed them at a few of them. An officer came out and shouted for them to lay down their arms.
After shouting three times in a row, the Tufan officer saw that no one answered him, and was about to give the order to release the arrows, when he suddenly heard a cannon sound, which was deafening, and flew over with an overwhelming rain of arrows, knocking over a large area of the surrounding Tufan soldiers.
Immediately afterwards, there was a shout of killing all around, and I don't know where to kill a Central Plains army, more than 5,000 people, from three directions towards the Tufan army.
Seeing that the Central Plains army was fierce and numerous, the Tufan officer who led the team was expected to be invincible, immediately commanded the troops to withdraw to the city, so many Tufan soldiers had to leave Zhao Jian and others behind, and fled wildly.
Zhao Jian and the others still stayed where they were, and they didn't chase and kill the Tufan deserters, he remembered that King Yuwen had arranged for a response at the north gate, but he didn't expect that there would be such a large army, it was really timely.
Wu Kui and Putong were in high spirits at this time to stop the retreating Tufan soldiers, and the two of them slashed and killed, killing and injuring a large number of Tufan soldiers in an instant, and they were still chasing and killing the fleeing Tufan army.
At this time, the responding army rushed over, Zhao Jian saw clearly that the leader was General Chen Jinchao's partial general Lu Guangcai, General Lu led a group of cavalry to chase and kill a burst of Tufan soldiers, seeing that the Tufan troops had fled away, they no longer chased the company, and rode back to meet General Zhao, and said: "I am under the order of General Chen to answer here, I am afraid that it is a step too late, so that Lord Zhao is frightened, please forgive me." ”
Zhao Jian thanked him: "Where, where, thanks to General Lu's timely rescue, otherwise we would have died without a place to be buried, I didn't expect General Chen to be so clever and clever, and arrange an ambush here in advance to rescue him, which is really just right." ”
"Actually, this was all arranged by King Yuwen, and a few days ago, others sent someone to send a message to General Chen, and all this was arranged. Lu Guangcai replied while returning the salute,
Then he pointed to the two giants and asked, "The general told me before that he came to rescue a big man, what kind of big man is this, these two are clearly giants, where did you find them?"
Zhao Jian laughed when he heard this, "It's a long story, let's go back and talk slowly." "After that, we gathered everyone to develop in the direction of the northern mountains.
