An hour later, under the leadership of Zhao Yun, the army marched towards the White Horse City, and at sunset, the troops were under the White Horse City, and camped outside the north gate, preparing to attack the city.

At the head of the city, Liu Yan couldn't help but gasp: "Hiss...... Haobai's soldiers and horses are so majestic, no wonder Haobai has never been defeated. ”

A person on the side sneered: "In my opinion, it's just a local chicken and a dog's ear!"

This person is Zhang Xiu, who has been arrogant and does not take Liu Yan in his eyes since he and Liu Yan guarded the white horse together.

Liu Yan couldn't help but feel unhappy in his heart, you are so powerful, why do you still defect to Cao Sikong!

However, Liu Yan is very good at cultivating kung fu after all, and just smiled slightly: "Don't take it lightly, Liu also heard that the general is invincible, and there are two thousand cavalry that followed from Xiliang in the past, which is extremely brave, but I'm afraid that before this soldier and horse, it is still a little worse." ”

Since Zhang Xiu defected to Cao Cao, although he was worshiped as a general of Yangwu, in fact, there were not many people in Cao Ying's camp who really took him seriously, and his status was far inferior to some of his previous strategists.

Now that he was sent by Cao Cao as the deputy general of Liu Yan, who was not known, he was extremely unbalanced in his heart, so he didn't take Liu Yan in his eyes everywhere, and now he couldn't help but be furious when he heard Liu Yan look down on him like this.

"What does this mean, although Haobai has some ability, if he comes in person, I will be a little jealous, now it is only Zhao Yun, although Zhao Yun is a little brave, but how can Zhang put it in his eyes, if you don't believe it, Zhang is willing to lead two thousand cavalry, for Cao Sikong to rush to kill for a while, even if he can't cut off Zhao Yun's dog head, he has to pull back for a while, frustrate his spirit. ”

Liu Xie had long been fed up with Zhang Xiu's arrogance and rudeness, and forcibly held back his anger and said: "There is no joke in the army, and the general must not talk nonsense!"

Zhang Xiu became more and more angry and said: "Take the pen, if you can't win, please behead someone!"

After speaking, he ordered the attendants to take paper and ink, and immediately made a military order.

Liu Yan was overjoyed, but said with a smile on his face: "In this way, congratulations on the triumphant return of the general, this official is willing to personally cheer for the general!"

Zhang Xiu said proudly: "Okay, so there will be Lao Taishou!"

After saying that, he strode down the tower with his gun.

......

Zhao Yun had just planted his stitches, and suddenly the battle drums at the north gate of White Horse City were loud, and then the north gate was opened, and Zhang Xiu, the defender of White Horse City, led the army to meet it!

Zhao Yun held a spear in his hand, his whole body was shining with cold light, and the 30,000 vanguard army behind him stood in the sunset, with a momentum like a rainbow.

Many soldiers have been gearing up for a long time, and now that the enemy army is pouring out, they have been waiting for the moment to fight to their heart's content.

The gate of the White Horse City was wide open, and the first person was wearing Xuanjia, holding a long knife, and came on a horse, and the black cloak behind him was hunting and fluttering in the morning breeze, which was Zhang Xiu in Cao Jun.

The dust was all over the sky, the horses' hooves were up, and more than 2,000 iron horsemen rolled in, closely following behind Zhang Xiu, and slowly stopped three hundred paces away.

The two thousand iron cavalry behind him are Zhang Xiu's uncle, Zhang Ji, one of the four fierce generals under Dong Zhuo, the cavalry brought from Xiliang, and the only survivor of the Xiliang iron cavalry that made the princes of the Eighteenth Road suffer before.

After Zhang Ji's death, these Xiliang cavalry followed Zhang Xiu, dominated Wancheng for a long time, and now followed Zhang Xiu to Cao Cao.

The Xiliang cavalry is extremely brave, and the war horse under the crotch is also the best among the Xiliang war horses.

This is also the reason why Zhang Xiu dared to make a military order, with only 2,000 cavalry, it is impossible to completely defeat the army, but it is not difficult to rush and kill a few hundred people in the Hao army, and then calmly return.

Zhang Xiu pointed at his spear, the momentum was like a mountain, and the sound was like a huge thunder: "How dare you raise troops to invade my city, Zhang Xiu is here in Xiliang, can you dare to fight to the death with me!"

Zhao Yun drove his horse forward, pointed his spear directly at Zhang Xiu, and said in a deep voice: "Hugh is arrogant, I won't take advantage of you today, I will also send out two thousand cavalry, and I will dare to fight against you two thousand Xiliang iron cavalry!"

Zhang Xiu was originally worried that the 30,000 Hao army would flock up, but now seeing that Zhao Yun didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he only sent out 2,000 cavalry, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, this is really God help me!

Zhang Xiu immediately stopped talking, and the long knife shouted loudly: "The whole army is attacking!"

As soon as the banner danced, they rushed to kill.

Zhao Yunlang shouted: "Ready!"

Whew!

Behind the soldiers, the crossbows were raised high, and the dense arrows flashed with cold light and aimed at the oncoming enemy troops.

Knock! Knock!

On the north gate of White Horse City, Liu Yan, the Taishou of Dongjun, took off his armor and personally boarded the drum rack to cheer for Zhang Xiu.

Kill!

Zhang Xiu lifted the reins, mentioned that he rose up on horseback, and led more than 2,000 Xiliang cavalry behind him to rush like the wind.

With the high-pitched and passionate sound of war drums, two thousand Xiliang Iron Riders under the leadership of Zhang Xiu had rushed within a hundred steps.

Zhao Yun's spear moved: "Release the arrow!"

Woohoo!

Countless bolts of crossbow bolts rained out like a torrential rain, pouring down on the oncoming enemy.

Puff puff!

With a strong wind, the sharp arrows pierced the armor of the Xiliang cavalry and shot into the flesh and blood, making a dull sound.

The so-called battle is only three shots, but the crossbow is excepted, and when Zhang Xiu comes to his senses, it is already too late, if he retreats at this time, the cavalry in front will be sacrificed in vain, so even if he is dripping blood in pain, he can only lead the crowd to move forward and continue to rush forward to kill.

The Xiliang cavalry approached step by step, and many people fell at each step, carrying a rain of blood all the way.

The rain of arrows finally stopped, and the Xiliang cavalry that rushed over had already been shot and killed six or seven hundred people.

Seeing that the Xiliang cavalry was in chaos, he raised his gun and roared angrily: "Charge, kill!"

"Kill!"

When the time for the counterattack came, Zhao Yun began to move, although they were all cavalry, but they moved towards the oncoming Cao army in a smooth and orderly manner.

Zhang Xiu, who was encircled, brandished a spear and struggled to block the spear and knife that stabbed him one by one, looking very embarrassed, he clearly knew that the battle had been lost, and he had no power to return to the sky, so he had to retreat.

Knock knock!

Seeing that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had fallen into chaos, the sound of war drums above the city was getting more and more urgent and heavier, as if the beating of the general mission was rushing, as if it was a matter of life and death.

At this moment, Zhang Xiu looked back at the closed city gate behind him and Liu Yan on the city tower, and then remembered the military order, and felt a sadness in his heart.

Because he knew that Liu Yan would never open the door and let him enter White Horse City.

"Damn, damn villain, Lao Tzu is looking for Cao Sikong. Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, waved his spear, and shouted loudly, "To the west, retreat!"

The Western Liang Iron Cavalry had long been reluctant to face this group of well-equipped cavalry, and when they heard Zhang Xiu's order to retreat, they turned their horses' heads and rolled westward as if they had been amnestied.

However, Zhang Xiu was like a headless fly, leading the remnants of more than 1,000 Xiliang cavalry, rushing to the west and not escaping, so he had no choice but to lead the army to the north gate of White Horse City.
