The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 340 Chapter 339
On the fifth day of June, the night was extremely quiet, and a bright moon hung in the night sky, illuminating the earth with its bright light.

The earth was covered with a layer of gray, looking foggy.

Inside and outside the city of Ye, it was also very quiet. The soldiers in the city were all quietly waiting, waiting for the arrival of Cao Cao's army.

Outside Yecheng, Cao Cao was also closely watching every move in Yecheng.

At Choushi, the moonlight in the night sky is covered by a cloud of dark clouds, the earth becomes completely dark, and the visibility is extremely low. What can be seen is darkness except darkness.

The moon is dark and the wind is high. Such a night is just an extraordinary night, and this night is destined to be a sleepless night.

Outside the city of Yecheng, groups of black shadows, taking advantage of the dense night and endless darkness, began to slowly approach the moat of Yecheng.

At three quarters of the ugly hour, according to the agreement, fire should be raised on the tower.

Cao Cao, who was in the dark, had been paying close attention to the movement on the tower. Not long after, there was a person on the tower holding a lantern and making three long and two short signals.

At this time, the suspension bridge was lowered, and the city gate was slowly opened. A group of people held torches and rushed out of the city gate, waving at the darkness.

Because they didn't know which direction Cao Cao was attacking from, Zhang Yan and Jia Xu spared no effort to test and let the four city gates open at the same time, carrying out the agreed tasks at the same time. Then the rest of the gates can be closed.

However, what Zhang Yan and Jia Xu didn't expect was that Cao Jun actually appeared at the four city gates at the same time. Groups of people drove out from the darkness, led by a knight in golden armor and a golden helmet. Down, rushed directly into the city.

Of course, Zhang Yan and Jia Xu, who were sitting in the government office, didn't know about Cao Cao's abnormal behavior, but they would know soon.

The knights in golden armor at the four city gates led about [-] soldiers and entered the city gates from the darkness. As soon as they entered the city, these people suddenly raised their swords and opened the gates to let them in. The soldiers slashed and killed, and after killing the soldiers in the doorway, they immediately divided into three groups. One group, led by the golden armored knight, rushed to the gate of the urn city, while the other two groups rushed from the stairs. Go up the tower.

These people indiscriminately killed anyone they saw, which immediately caused a commotion.

The defenders were killed by surprise, and many soldiers were lost. Even the defenders didn't understand what was going on, but in the face of the enemy's fierce attack, the defenders of the four gates all ordered to attack.

But at this moment, many of the soldiers who rushed in took out their fire folders one after another, and then tore off their clothes, revealing a Thunderbolt tied to him. When the thunder struck, the thunderbolt, fire and thunder immediately exploded.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The sound of explosions sounded at each city gate almost at the same time. The huge explosion sound was particularly ear-piercing in this quiet night. Zhang Yan and Jia Xu, who were sitting in the government office in the middle of the city, listened carefully, like a sound on the ground. Ray, deafening.

In the government office, Zhang Yan heard explosions coming from all directions one after another. He was taken aback immediately, and asked puzzledly, "What's going on? How could the four city gates explode at the same time?"

Even Jia Xu looked confused, and couldn't answer Zhang Yan's question.

Zhang Yan couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately strode out of the hall, intending to ride a horse and go to each city gate to find out.

However, as soon as Zhang Yan came out of the hall, he collided with four panicked scouts, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to the explosion just now?"

The four scouts reported the situation near the city gate to Zhang Yan one after another. Only then did Zhang Yan know that the four city gates were under attack at the same time, and the explosion was made by the enemy. This kind of weapon, the explosion just now has already bruised the soldiers of the four city gates, and many people were killed on the spot. Now the four city gates are already devastated.

Not only that, even the gate of Wengcheng was blasted open.Moreover, at the moment when the gate of Wengcheng exploded, thousands of Cao Jun emerged from the darkness outside the city and rushed into the city directly through the suspension bridge. A urn rushed into the city from the gate of the city.

But now, the four generals Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, and Gan Ning are actively leading the army to pursue and intercept. As for where Cao Cao is, it is unknown.

The development of the matter exceeded the expectations of Zhang Yan and Jia Xu. Cao Cao possessed a weapon similar to the thunderbolt, which made Zhang Yan feel a headache. He did not expect that the things he invented would be used by the enemy so quickly. Come over and use it against yourself.

Zhang Yan was a little dumbfounded, but facing the current situation, Zhang Yan had to remain calm.

Cao Jun broke into the four city gates, which shows that Cao Cao didn't believe Cao Hong's words at all, and perhaps he had already figured out that he knew Cao Hong's false surrender and imprisoned Cao Hong.

After Cao Jun broke through the city gate, instead of entanglement with the defenders near the city gate, he quickly entered the city. How many people came in is still unknown. What is the purpose of that Cao Jun?
Jia Xu frowned, looking thoughtful, suddenly, he yelled: "No, we were fooled!"

Zhang Yan hurriedly asked: "Military Master, what did you say?"

"We were fooled. The purpose of Cao Cao's doing this is to deceive the defenders stationed at the city gate. If I guessed correctly, at this moment, Cao Cao's army has just entered the city through Xuanwu Gate!" Jia Xu said, "My lord The Xuanwumen should be supported immediately, otherwise, General Gan Ning will be in danger!"

Zhang Yan was also at a loss. After hearing Jia Xu's words, he did not hesitate, and immediately said to Gao Shun who was standing in the hall: "Call out the troops immediately, leave 2000 people to guard the government office, and the rest will all support the Xuanwu Gate." .”

"Here!" Gao Shun agreed, clasped his fists and left the hall.

Zhang Yan asked someone to bring the Wuyun Treading Snow Horse, and after jumping on the horse, he said to Jia Xu: "I am bothered by the military division to command the government office, and Gao Shun and I will go to the Xuanwu Gate to support!"

"Regent, be careful!" Jia Xu knew that once Zhang Yan made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. Although he was very worried about Zhang Yan's safety, he could not dissuade him, he could only remind him with words.

Zhang Yan nodded, rode his horse out of the government office, and together with Gao Shun, led eight thousand soldiers to the Xuanwu Gate in the north.

At this moment, the battle at Xuanwumen was fierce, and the army led by Gan Ning was being flanked by Cao's army.

The development of the matter, just as Jia Xu expected, Cao Cao used 1000 daredevils to blow open the gate of Wengcheng, and an army of about 1000 people suddenly rushed in from outside the city taking advantage of the chaos. The defenders were still in the chaos of a sudden attack. These [-] people broke through the line of defense. However, due to the dark sky, it was impossible to recognize how many people rushed past. In addition, General Gan Ning was worried that this was a team that was heading directly towards Zhang Yan. , So he ordered the army to launch a pursuit.

Unexpectedly, just after Gan Ning gave the order to pursue, Cao Cao's army came in from Xuanwu Gate not long after leading his men out.

Cao Cao's generals, Jiang Qi and Yin Kai, took the lead. After rushing into the Xuanwu Gate, one left and one right, they rushed directly to the Wengcheng and successfully captured the Wengcheng. Cao Cao led the army to occupy the Xuanwu Gate. He also commanded the army to attack Gan Ning's back, and the Cao army in front of Gan Ning suddenly turned around and killed him, causing Gan Ning to fall into a situation where he was attacked from both sides.

Among them, Cao Cao's soldiers even threw a thunderbolt into the Han army crowd from time to time, killing and injuring a lot of people, which made the Han army panic.

The invention of the thunderbolt was originally used to deal with the enemy, but it never occurred to the enemy to use it to deal with them.

Zhang Yan and Gao Shun led the army to kill, and went straight along Xuanwu Street. Gao Shun was brave and took the lead. , Fresh heads rolled to the ground one after another, blood flowed into rivers, and corpses were scattered all over the field. Gao Shun's charge killed almost half of the thousand Cao troops.

Zhang Yan no longer charged into the battle, but began to command the army, and dispatched troops to kill Cao Jun in a circular arc.

Gao Shun's charge was very powerful, and he killed Cao's army without leaving any armor. When he attacked the city last time, he was in charge of an auxiliary attack. He didn't have such a quick kill. He was a subordinate of the enemy Cao Cao, which aroused his anger even more.

With just one stick of incense, Gao took care of the 1000 Cao troops rushing into the city by the way. Gan Ning's pressure suddenly decreased a lot, and with the support of reinforcements, he wholeheartedly faced Cao Cao.

Gan Ning's arrow wound on his left arm was not healed, but it did not affect his combat ability at all. He held a steel knife in one hand and confronted Cao Cao head-on.

Gao Shun also came to fight side by side with Gan Ning. The two of them were like two tigers descending from the mountain.

Jiang Qi and Yin Kai's charge was blocked, and their force was not as good as Gao Shun and Gan Ning's, so they retreated while fighting, and soon retreated to the vicinity of Wengcheng.

At this time, Cao Cao, who occupied the Wengcheng, commanded the soldiers on the tower to shoot to prevent Gao Shun and Gan Ning from advancing.

Arrows rained down on the tower, killing many soldiers, Gao Shun and Gan Ning stared at each other, but they couldn't rush over, they couldn't help but turned into anger.

"Damn it, fight it out!" Gan Ning yelled, and rushed towards the gate of the Weng City, braving the dense arrows shot down from the tower, he walked like flying, and swung his weapon from time to time Block arrows.

As the saying goes, the brave are fearless, and Gan Ning's fearlessness made Gao Shun admire him very much, and at the same time, he was sweating for Gan Ning.

Therefore, Gao Shun also yelled, and led the soldiers behind him to fight towards Wengcheng despite the rain of arrows.

At the same time, Zhang Yan commanded the archers to shoot arrows towards the tower of the Wengcheng to cover Gan Ning, Gao Shun and others to counterattack the Wengcheng.
