Chapter 725 Out of the City
It turned out that Niu Qian, Ma Yan, and Zhang Fu had already agreed that if something happened, they would put down the red flag on the top of the city, and Zhang Fu would come to reinforce them as soon as possible.It was just for this purpose that Niu Qian tried his best not to do so, and brought down the red flag before being caught by Xu Yelu...

Seeing that the two lieutenants were killed, Niu Qian and Ma Yan's subordinates gave up their resistance, but the key, of course, could not be retrieved...

Xu Yelu was running around in a hurry when he saw Wang Xian boarded the top of the wall surrounded by several men.

"Quick, the key to the city gate!" Wang Xian glanced at the two corpses lying on the ground, and knew that Xu Yelu did not disappoint.

"It was thrown into the moat by the cattle..." But Xu Yelu's answer disappointed him greatly. "And Zhang Fu is about to kill him!"

"Can you stop them?" Wang Xian asked.

"They are all cavalry rushing up, I'm afraid they can't stop them." Xu Yelu frowned, Xu was worried that Wang Xian might misunderstand, and the next moment he emphasized: "But even if they can't be stopped, I will lead people to stop them !"

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense." Wang Xian nodded and said: "You can block as long as you can, go!"

"Success!" At the critical moment, what he said was nonsense, Xu Yelu nodded heavily, then went down the tower, and said loudly: "Boys, come with me!"

When Xu Yelu called out, more than 200 of his soldiers came out first, and some soldiers from Niu Qian and Ma Yan also followed... These people were simply impressed by the performance of His Royal Highness, subconsciously thinking that they should protect Prince.

These people hurriedly stopped the horse on the road.As for those who are unwilling to help, at most they just stand by and watch, and no one makes trouble.But to be honest, almost no one thinks that this simple refusal of horses can stop the cavalry who are charging... After all, the main task of the defenders is to prevent someone from attacking the city from outside.For the attack from inside, it seems a little unprepared...

The soldiers seemed to have heard the sound of horseshoes, and the atmosphere became more and more tense. At this moment, a sharp whistle sounded suddenly.

The whistle attracted everyone's attention, and then Wang Xian shouted loudly: "Everyone get down!"

Hearing this sound, Xu Yelu's subordinates were still thinking, who is this person?The prince was very obedient, including the prince, everyone lay on the ground together.

Seeing the prince's fat body, he didn't hesitate to lie down on the ground. Xu Yelu didn't know that if he didn't lie down, he would definitely have fun watching it.Hastily shouted: "Get down, get down, get down!" Hearing the commander's order, his soldiers hurriedly got down on the ground...

There was a flash of fire on the second floor of the restaurant facing the city gate building, and there was a bang, and a shell flew into the city gate hole with a roar, and hit the city gate heavily!Immediately, the ground shook and the broken stones and bricks flew, and when the smoke and dust settled, everyone saw that the gate of the city had been smashed into a big hole!

"The door is open!" Cheers rang out, and the soldiers rushed forward and pulled open the two closed doors.

At this time, Zhang Fu also rushed to the street with his cavalry. Hearing the sound of the cannon, Zhang Fu became anxious, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "Quick, rush over, whoever dares to block will be killed!"

"Yes!" All the soldiers responded in unison, and quickly drew out their spears, ready to throw them.

Unexpectedly, the sound of the cannon sounded again, and the muzzle of the cannon turned to this street.The artillery shells whistled, and a cannonball hit Zhang Fu's cavalry formation, and the broken shrapnel shot directly at the horse's belly, and several horses fell to the ground screaming.

However, no matter how powerful the shells are, one or two cannonballs can't change the situation of the battle. Zhang Fu is not affected at all, and drives his subordinates to move on and on!
However, the cannon was only a signal to launch an attack. After the cannon rang, two rows of crossbowmen emerged from the roofs on both sides of the street.At this time, the distance between the two sides was too close, and the crossbowmen could shoot the arrows accurately at the cavalry without aiming at them!
At the sound of the bowstring, arrows rained down, screams came and went, and cavalrymen fell from their horses one after another.

However, after all, it was the elite Shangzhiwei who represented the highest combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty, and the cavalry of the right guard of the government army remained calm in the face of danger. Without waiting for Zhang Fu's order, they took off the shield from their backs to protect themselves and their horses from the design of bows and arrows.

But in this way, they had no chance to shoot the javelin, which made Xu Yelu's people heave a sigh of relief.Otherwise, just throwing out that wave of javelins, his temporary defense line may be washed away...

But Zhang Fu finally led most of his subordinates to the front of Xu Yelu's line of defense. After the baptism of shelling and arrow shooting just now, the two sides had no buffer, and started a fierce fight across the rejection horse!

At the intersection in front of the city gate tower, a fierce fight erupted, soldiers on both sides, generals against generals, killing each other to the death.

"Xu Yelu, you traitor!" Zhang Fu, who was riding a white horse and holding a silver gun, approached Xu Yelu, who was riding a black horse and holding a mace.I was really jealous: "How dare the prince treat you, how dare you betray him!"

"Absurd, I am an officer of the Ming Dynasty. I am loyal to the emperor and protect the crown prince. Now someone is making trouble, what do you think I should do?" Although Xu Yelu was a Mongolian, he was not stupid at all, and immediately refuted.

"Look at the gun, you!" Zhang Fu was speechless after being refuted, so he simply pulled out his spear and grabbed Xu Yelu's throat.

"Good time!" Xu Yelu yelled loudly, turned his body to one side, and swept his mace horizontally, trying to hook Zhang Fu's spear.But Zhang Fu's marksmanship is light and agile, and his martial arts moves are far superior to Xu Yelu's, so naturally he won't let him succeed!
Seeing Zhang Fu's arm shaking, he pulled out a gun, and the tip of the gun dodged the mace like a snake, and went straight to Xu Yelu's heart.

Although Xu Yelu's martial arts is not as good as Zhang Fu's, he is superior in strength and rich experience. Even though he has a lot of tricks, I am blown away, forcing Zhang Fu to change his tactics.There is a saying that one force will drop ten times, that's what it means... In addition to being harassed by archers from time to time, Zhang Fu had to be distracted to deal with it.

This side was killed in the dark, and the gate of the city on the other side finally opened with a bang. Wang Xian hurriedly helped the prince onto the horse, and left the city without losing time.Compassionate and strict, he first waited for someone to accompany him, and followed him out of the city...

While fighting, Zhang Fu kept his eyes on the six roads. He saw someone fleeing from the city. Although he was not sure if it was the crown prince, he was so anxious that he tried desperately to kill a bloody way, but Xu Yelu was like this. It's as tough as a dog's skin plaster.The more impatient he was, the more steady and steady he was.Xu Yelu knew very well that anyway, his task was to hold Zhang Fu back, and the longer he could hold off, the better.

The more impetuous Zhang Fu was, the more indistinguishable the outcome of this battle was. Until the reinforcements arrived, neither he nor his men could break through Xu Yelu's defense.However, as soon as the reinforcements arrived, the battle would be over. Under the attack of the King of Han's army, the archers on the roof were overwhelmed.

Once the pressure caused by the archers was gone, Zhang Fu and the others, who had been suffocating their anger for a long time, could finally do their best to drive away those annoying refusal horses in one go, and hacked like a tiger into a herd of sheep!

Xu Yelu knew that it was meaningless to kill any more, so he could only let Erlang die in vain, so he ordered to disarm and surrender without hesitation... Seeing this, the archers on the top of the city also withdrew from the battle one after another... They were fighting in a connected area... The roof was like walking on the ground, but he left the battle group in the blink of an eye.

Although Zhang Fu wished he could chop Xu Wild Donkey into meat, he didn't care about venting his anger right now. As soon as he passed Xu Wild Donkey's line of defense, he immediately led the crowd into the city gate. Chase back!Because at this time he already knew that the crown prince had appeared under the city gate just now!Although I can't understand why the prince didn't go to Fangshan, there is no doubt that the prince must be caught at all costs!

But those guys who followed the prince were obviously dishonest, so they ran away and set up many obstacles for the pursuers. The first one was that the gate was closed again and locked from the outside with iron chains.Zhang Fu's men drew out their weapons and hacked for a while, but they didn't do anything to the gate.

In the end, Zhang Fu sent people to fall outside the city with ropes, and then cut off the iron chain with an axe, and then opened the city gate and let them out.But here and there, you can go out after a cup of tea.And this is not over yet, more troubles are yet to come...

Jinchuan Gate is named after the Jinchuan River, which is the moat of Jinchuan Gate, so there is a suspension bridge outside the gate.After those killers passed through, they burned down the bridge with a torch... It is unrealistic to build a bridge temporarily, and it is impossible for people and horses to swim across. Zhang Fu found himself struggling, and finally sighed.He couldn't help cursing, and hurried back to his horse to go around the adjacent city gate.

Before he left, he hadn't forgotten to tell his subordinates to take good care of Xu Yelu and wait for him to come back...

However, Zhang Fu obviously underestimated the difficulty of the pursuit. When he made a big circle and finally went out of the city to the direction where the opponent was escaping, more than half an hour had passed. Where was the shadow of the prince?Zhang Fu could only follow the horseshoe prints on the ground.

After chasing for about ten miles, Zhang Fu encountered a problem again when he came to a fork in the road, because it was obvious that the opponent had split into two groups at the fork.Judging from the marks left behind, it is impossible to tell which direction the prince went, and which way was a feint.

Many generals are most afraid of such a mind-consuming decision, and Wang Xian is no exception, but Zhang Fu's choice is extremely simple and rude!The answer he gave was - divide the troops!I don't know what to say about him...

With Zhang Fu's order, the cavalry under his command were divided into two halves and chased in different directions.Zhang Fu himself followed instinctively to the northeast.

However, within two miles, there was another fork in the road, and the opponent was still divided into two groups... Now even Zhang Fu felt a little crazy with such a thick line.I didn't have time to think about it, so I had to continue to divide the troops, take a quarter of the soldiers and horses, and continue to chase...
