The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 305 Chapter 304
Zhang Yan stood on the city wall of Xiancheng and looked down, but he saw the densely packed Yuan Jun soldiers rushing towards Xiancheng. one-leaf boat.

Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Gao Shun, Gan Ning, Lu Meng and others surrounded Zhang Yan. They looked at Yuan Jun running towards Xiancheng like huge waves, and all of them were gearing up there.

Zhang Yan closed the city gate tightly. Even the [-] militiamen led by Bao Xun had retreated three miles last night to form an array. Xiancheng was a fortress on the front line. At this moment, they would accept Yuan Jun's onslaught.

"My lord, let me fight!" Xu Chu couldn't bear it anymore and said to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan shook his head and said: "Now is not the time, don't worry, you will make contributions in a while!"

Outside Xiancheng, Zhang Yun and Gao Lan led the army in front, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Ma Yan, and Qianzhao led the army behind, and the [-] horse infantry rushed towards Xiancheng like crazy.

The cavalry led by Zhang Xi and Gao Lan rushed to the front. Most of these cavalry were Wen Chou's subordinates. Wen Chou died in battle yesterday, and the soldiers were full of hatred. Once the battle started, they rushed out like lightning. , not only to avenge Wen Chou, but also to win a big reward.

The cavalry left the infantry far behind. Zhang Xi, Gao Lan and others rushed forward for hundreds of meters. The hooves of the horse under their seats suddenly sank downward, and a deep hole was suddenly cracked on the originally flat land. The big pit, the cavalry were unprepared, and fell into this deep pit one after another.

Immediately afterwards, heart-piercing screams came from below the deep pit. All cavalry who fell into the deep pit were either killed or injured.

It turned out that this was a big trap. At the bottom of the deep pit, there were densely sharpened wooden stakes. Whether it was a man or a war horse, as long as they fell from the sky, they would definitely be pierced by these wooden stakes. , bleeding continuously, they could only let out bursts of mourning, waiting helplessly for their own death.

A long and large crack suddenly appeared on the ground, and the more than 2000 cavalry rushing forward all fell into the deep pit. There was a trap under the deep pit, and anyone who fell into it would basically be stabbed to death.

But there are two exceptions, these two people are Zhang He and Gao Lan.They were all nimble generals, and the moment the horse suddenly fell, Zhang He and Gao Lan had an extremely uneasy premonition that there must be a trap underneath.

So, in the blink of an eye, Zhang He and Gao Lan, relying on their extraordinary skills, suddenly jumped forward, drew out the short blade pinned to their waists, and stabbed in towards the wall in front of them.

The walls are covered with mud, which is very soft, but the short blade is very sharp, and it was inserted directly into the dirt wall, only a small handle end was exposed. Don't let yourself fall.

Zhang He and Gao Lan looked down at the bottom of the deep pit, but saw that more than 2000 soldiers and horses had been pierced by wooden stakes, some of them had been dead for a long time, and some were dying even if they were not dead.

Yuan Jun's cavalry, who hastily reined in the horses above the deep pit, saw such a thrilling scene, and they were secretly grateful psychologically, but at the same time, they also felt lingering fear.

The fissures on the ground, like a wide moat, spread out in all directions, forming a semicircle, which just covered Xiancheng inside.

However, this semicircle is not infinite, and the two directions extending to the northeast and northwest corners of the city wall are gone.

Seeing that their companions died so unworthily, the cavalry were filled with righteous indignation, split into two, and quickly rushed in two directions, preparing to go around and attack again.

As soon as the cavalry left, the infantry behind them followed closely. When they saw the cavalry who died in the trap, their faces were filled with astonishment.

At this time, Zhang Yun and Gao Lan, who were lucky enough to survive, finally climbed up to the ground after a lot of effort. As soon as they showed their heads, they saw the gate of Xiancheng slowly opened, and a group of armored cavalry appeared again behind Yuan Jun's gate. before.

The armored cavalry filed out of the city and then divided into two, with Zhao Yun on the left and Xu Chu on the right.

At the same time, Gan Ning and Lu Meng each led a hundred light cavalry to kill them. After they left the city, they rushed forward and rushed towards Zhang Xi and Gao Lan who had climbed to the ground.

Both Zhang He and Gao Lan panicked, their horses were gone, and their weapons were only a short blade. Seeing Gan Ning, Lu Meng and other [-] cavalry rushing towards them, they could only stand back to back, Fight alongside.

In a short time, Gan Ning, Lu Meng and others galloped to the side of Zhang He and Gao Lan, and surrounded them, but Gan Ning, Lu Meng and others did not attack Zhang He and Gao Lan, but stared at them. Looking at Zhang He and Gao Lan intently.

Zhang Yun frowned, his face was ashen, but his heart was in a state of panic.

Gao Lan suddenly said: "Junyi, although we can't be born in the same year and the same month and the same day, but we can die in the same year, the same month and the same day, it's not in vain for our brothers!"

Zhang Yun sneered, tightly holding the short blade in his hand, his eyes wandered around, if anyone wanted to rush over, he would be the first to kill him.He said to Gao Lan: "Let's fight hard, kill one to earn money, kill two to earn one! Before dying, I have to pull a few backs."

"Okay, let's fight!" Gao Lan was also determined to die.

Gan Ning stared at a pair of tiger eyes, saw that although Zhang Xi and Gao Lan were a little panicked, they were not timid, and listening to their words, they could tell that these two were good men.He opened his mouth and said: "My lord has an order. If you surrender, you may be saved from death. If you persist in your obsession, you will be killed without mercy!"

"There are only beheaded generals here, how can there be surrendered generals? If you want to kill, you can kill, if you want, you can cut, why bother!" Zhang Yun said sharply.

"Okay! If that's the case, then don't blame me for being rude!"

As soon as Gan Ning finished speaking, he rode his horse and rushed towards Zhang He, swung a big knife in his hand and slashed towards Zhang He.

Zhang He hastily waved the short blade in his hand to block, only to hear a "click", the short blade in Zhang He's hand was actually cut off by Gan Ning, and Gan Ning's calm and fierce strength was also transmitted through the broadsword , shaking Zhang Xi's parts holding the short blade numb!

Zhang He was surprised, and before he could react, Gan Ning's broadsword was placed on Zhang He's neck.

Seeing this, Gao Lan hurriedly waved his short blade to come to the rescue. Unexpectedly, Lu Meng flew over on his horse, and he, who was holding a steel knife, slashed at Gao Lan.Gao Lan had no choice but to turn around and go back to the gear. Just as he raised the short blade above his head, when it touched Lu Meng's steel knife, it broke into two pieces with a "click".

Lu Meng's steel knife fell down and landed on Gao Lan's neck.

Both Zhang He and Gao Lan were unconvinced for a while. If the opponent's weapons were not too sharp, they might not lose in a real fight.

However, the matter has come to this point, it is too late to say anything, Zhang Xi and Gao Lan closed their eyes, and said in unison: "Kill me!"

Gan Ning and Lu Meng suddenly withdrew the knives on the necks of Zhang He and Gao Lan, and then eight powerful soldiers rushed forward, tied Zhang He and Gao Lan with ropes, and threw them directly on the horses. Ning and Lu Meng will take them away.

During the whole process, Zhang Xi and Gao Lan were reduced to prisoners with only one cup of tea.

Gan Ning and Lu Meng drove back to Xiancheng with Zhang Xi and Gao Lan who were tied up by five flowers. They happened to meet Gao Shun who was gathering archers at the gate of the city. Gao Shun gave way to Gan Ning, Lu Meng and others. People passed by, and then he led [-] crossbowmen out of Xian City in a mighty manner, scattered behind the chain of chain horses, divided into two teams, and under the protection of shield soldiers, began to snipe and kill with arrows. Enemy soldiers.

The cavalry led by Zhao Yun and Xu Chu lined up in two rows, 500 people a row, just blocking the gap, facing the Yuan Jun cavalry rushing forward, and killed them in a burst.

The crossbowmen led by Gao Shun kept shooting and killing the enemy soldiers with arrows. Although there was an insurmountable deep pit blocking there, it had no effect on the arrows. , The Yuan Jun cavalry who rushed to the front all turned their backs on their backs, either dead or injured.

Yuan Jun's cavalry suffered heavy losses. Almost half of the nearly [-] cavalry who rushed over died. The rest of the cavalry could not break through Zhao Yun's and Xu Chu's defenses, so they began to retreat, letting the infantry who had just arrived here go into battle and confront Zhang Yan's army. shoot.

Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Ma Yan, Qianzhao and others led the army to kill. The densely packed Yuan Jun soldiers stopped and began to direct the archers to shoot at the enemy.

Upon seeing this, Gao Shun immediately adjusted his formation, faced the enemy head-on, and engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the enemy.

For a moment, arrows flew over the deep pit, tens of thousands of arrows were like locusts, and people from the two armies were killed in battle. In contrast, Yuan Shaojun, who had a large number of people, was far behind in the arrow array. prevailed.

Although Gao Shun and the others were guarded by shield soldiers, their attack power was obviously insufficient. They were suppressed by the enemy's dense arrows and couldn't lift their heads, while screams kept ringing from behind.

Standing on the city wall and commanding the whole army to fight, Zhang Yan had a clear view of the whole battlefield situation. The military advisor Jia Xu was standing beside him. Said to Zhang Yan: "Master, it's time to send troops!"

Zhang Yan nodded, turned his head and shouted to Jin Yiwei behind him: "Send the order, the whole army will attack!"

Following Zhang Yan's order, the flag bearers on the Xiancheng city tower began to wave flags non-stop, waving flags to inform the ministries, and began to attack.
