Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 236 Capture the City Gate
There was a rapid sound of hooves.

It can cause the tremor of this piece of land, and the sound of horseshoes can be heard in the ears of the people amidst the screams and screams. You can know that this is not something that a small cavalry unit can do.

Being able to cause such a big shock, it can be imagined that this cavalry is definitely more than five thousand.

However, around Hanzhong City, the only ones that can have such a large-scale cavalry unit are the Jingzhou Army that surrounded Hanzhong City.

It can be said that one side is happy and the other is worried.

The situation has thus been reversed.

Yang Song and the rebel general also breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on their faces. Now the city gate is still under their control, even if Zhang Wei and others break through, it will be irreversible.

"Haha, it looks like we won!" Yang Song laughed.

Seeing Yang Song's appearance, Zhang Lu's eyes turned red, and he shouted, "Kill him, kill him!"

Even if he can't defend Hanzhong City, Yang Song must be killed.

Yang Song glanced at the angry Zhang Lu, but he didn't care, and walked out of the city gate with the rebel general. He was the one who betrayed Zhang Lu for himself, so how could he give Zhang Lu the chance to kill him.

Going out of the city to welcome the arrival of the Jingzhou army is what he needs to do, and his safety is guaranteed. He is also a great hero of Jingzhou.

See here.

Zhang Wei didn't chase after him, but galloped on his horse, came to Zhang Lu, and said, "My lord, you should lead a team of soldiers and horses, break out from the west gate, and rush to the land of Bazhong. After the break!"

"I'm not willing to take the life of that traitor Yang Song!" Zhang Lu said angrily.

"Brother!" Zhang Wei did not call the lord anymore, "The enemy army is coming. Even if we can capture the city gate now, it is too late to close it. The enemy army has entered the city. In the land of Bazhong, there is still a chance to make a comeback!"

heard.

Zhang Lu's mind, which had lost its wisdom due to anger, was also sober. Hearing the sound of hooves approaching, he said helplessly, "So, you will be in charge of the soldiers and horses here. I will gather the rest of the soldiers and horses. Break out!"

After speaking, he led more than a hundred riders and turned to leave.

Zhang Wei also sighed. If Zhang Lu didn't favor Yang Song before, maybe there would be no result today. You must know that the reason why Yang Song took Cao Cao's gold and silver treasures was because Yang Song took Cao Cao's gold and silver. He tried his best to persuade Zhang Lu to send his army to Yongcheng.

Whether he can break out of the siege now is still a question, and he can only delay the pace of the Jingzhou army as much as possible to buy time for Zhang Lu to break through.

thought here.

Zhang Wei's eyes also became firm. Although Zhang Lu didn't trust him, he still couldn't abandon Zhang Lu, so he commanded the [-] soldiers brought by Zhang Lu to enter the city gate and occupy a favorable terrain.

When Zhang Wei led the soldiers into the passage of the city gate.

Wei Yan, Wenpin, and Tai Shici also led [-] cavalry, and rushed outside the city gate without any hindrance.

There were no longer any defenders on the city wall, so [-] cavalry rushed out of the city gate without any damage, and went straight to the city gate passage.

When the three of Wei Yan passed by the city gate, they glanced at Yang Song and the rebel general who were standing beside the city gate with smiles on their faces. Disdain flashed in their eyes, but they ignored them, and now they took the city gate , that is the most important thing.

"kill!"

Wei Yan yelled, swung his big knife, and rushed towards the city gate passage.

Wenpin and Tai Shici did not hesitate, and led [-] cavalry to rush in directly, vying for control of the city gate passage.

"Stop them!" Zhang Wei stared angrily.

If the cavalry charged all the way were in an open place outside the city, then with the same number of troops, the soldiers and horses led by Zhang Wei would definitely not be opponents, but in this narrow passage, the advantages of the cavalry could not be fully utilized. Come out, except for the cavalry who rushed to the forefront.

I see.

Bang, boom, boom.
The three Wei Yan who charged at the front, and dozens of people on the left and right, rushed all the way into the passageway of the city gate from outside the city gate, relying on the impact of the horses.

In one fell swoop, the defenders at the front were knocked into the air, and those behind them also fell to the ground.

But even so, the defenders swarmed up and filled the gap opened by the cavalry. The spears in their hands stabbed at the cavalry on the horse, while some swordsmen held long knives and slashed at the horse's hoof.

The two armies fought in the passage of the city gate.

In an instant, the passageway of the city gate became like hell. People fell to the ground every second, blood was flying, and once someone fell to the ground, no matter whether they were alive or not, they couldn't get up again.

In this narrow passage of the city gate, there is only a small place where one can fight. As long as one falls down, one will be trampled on. Even if one does not die immediately, there is no chance of survival under trampled conditions.

Shouts of killing, screams, and the sound of weapons colliding filled the narrow passage of the city gate.

Although the terrain is favorable to the defenders and can block the cavalry's pace, it is only temporary and cannot be permanently blocked at all.

I see.

Wei Yan, Wenpin, and Tai Shici at the front could take away several lives every time they swung their weapons. Up to now, it is unknown how many defenders have fallen in the hands of the three of them.

Under the fighting of the three of them, the Jingzhou cavalry also slowly pressed into the city.

Zhang Wei, who was watching from behind, was also anxious, but he had no choice but to watch the defenders being beaten back little by little. It seemed that there was still a third of the distance before they were about to be rushed into by Jingzhou cavalry. in the city.

Once the Jingzhou cavalry broke through and entered the city, they would not be able to stop them for long with the soldiers and horses here.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei waved the sword in his hand and shouted: "Withdraw, withdraw to the city!"

He didn't intend to let the soldiers fight the Jingzhou cavalry here, and retreated to the city, dispersed, and mainly harassed. After all, they were already ready to abandon Hanzhong City, and there was no need to stick to it.

Hear Zhang Wei's order.

The defenders outside the city gate didn't stop any longer, they turned around and evacuated to the street. They were also afraid of staying here and becoming one of the corpses on the ground floor in the city gate passage.

Zhang Wei also ignored the soldiers who were still fighting in the passage of the city gate. After all, someone needed to stop the cavalry of Jingzhou to buy time for their evacuation, and the soldiers withdrawing from the passage of the city gate could not escape the pursuit of the cavalry of Jingzhou, so they turned around The horse head, leading a troop, went in one direction.

There is no support.

The defenders fighting in the passage of the city gate could not stop the pace of Jingzhou cavalry.

Soon, Wei Yan, Wenpin, and Tai Shici led the cavalry to break through the gate passage, entered the city, and captured the gate.

Yang Song and the rebel generals who withdrew outside the city gate ahead of time saw the Jingzhou army taking the city gate, and led the remaining remnant soldiers from the outside to re-enter the city gate passage and return to the city. It is part of the Jingzhou Army.
