Qu Yu Ju, Tacun.

There were still thousands of people waiting to cross the river, but Yuan Jun's pursuers had already appeared at the entrance of Tacun.

Gan Ning looked coldly, staring at the approaching Yuan Jun pursuers, a cold smile appeared on his handsome face...

"Xinzhi, are you all ready?"

"To be ready."

"Pass my order and the whole army retreats into the village... Yuan Thief's cavalry army is mainly in the village. If they enter the village, they will lose their place of use... If anyone comes, please inform the ferry to speed up the evacuation. It is necessary to stabilize the mood of the people.

He said that reinforcements have arrived and there is no need to worry."

"Here!"

He and Han De followed the orders and left.

A look of worry flashed in Gan Ning's eyes.

Yuan Jun has chased to Tacun, but he doesn't know what the situation is like on the young master's side?

————————————————————————

The Yuan army that pursued them to Tacun was a group of Euphorbia soldiers led by Zhang He, numbering 1,500 men.

Originally, after he successfully pursued Cao Caojun in Xiaotan, the army led by Yuan Shao arrived soon. Zhang He had no intention of fighting in Xiaotan. Yuan Shao's army of 30,000 people was enough to swallow up Cao Jun. He knew that Cao Caojun

The whole city was evacuated, and some people were stationed in Tacun.

Yuan Shao ordered Zhang He to lead a battalion of Euphorbia soldiers to attack Tacun.

According to Zhang He's original intention, he did not want to attack Tacun. He also knew that Yuan Shao had issued an order to massacre the city three days ago, saying that after breaking the jujube, he would massacre the city for three days and leave no one alive. Zhang He did not want to attack the unarmed people.

, but since Yuan Shao gave the order, he had to carry it out. Taking advantage of the darkness, he led his soldiers to approach Tacun... From a distance, he saw that Tacun was quiet, as if it were a dead place.

Zhang He frowned as he reined in his horse.

There was an ominous feeling in my heart, but I couldn't explain exactly what it was.

Faintly, you can see the firelight flashing at Quyuju Ferry. Presumably those Jujube people have not yet successfully evacuated...

To pursue or not to pursue?

Zhang He hesitated.

"Yusheng, what should I do?"

He suddenly turned his head and asked the young man behind him.

This young man's surname is Tian, ​​who is from Julu, Jizhou, and has only one name: Fang. Speaking of Tian Fang, we have to mention another person, that is Tian Feng, a counselor under Yuan Shao. Tian Feng is Tian Fang's uncle. Today, Tian Fang

Feng was imprisoned in Yecheng prison, while Tian Fang followed Zhang He and became Zhang He's marching commander. He expressed his words, but Zhang He privately called him by his nickname: Yusheng.

Tian Fang said softly: "If Zhonglang withdraws his troops, I'm afraid my lord will not agree."

Last year, Zhang He was awarded the title of Zhonglang General of Ning Kingdom for attacking Yijing and annihilating Gongsun Zan.

He sighed and smiled bitterly.

That's right, if he doesn't obey the order, I'm afraid Yuan Shao will cause trouble for him.

"Yusheng, you can lead some of your people to stay outside the village, and I will lead my people to attack. If there is an ambush in the village, you can attack later. If we attack from inside and outside, we can win a complete victory."

"That's what I want."

Zhang He thought for a moment, urged his horse, and led the cavalry towards Tacun.

Tian Fang's eyes flickered as he looked at the backs of Zhang He's men and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Jun Yi, don't blame me for being ruthless... In fact, Yuan Benchu ​​has a false reputation, and there is too much strife among his subordinates. This time he sends troops, there is no doubt that he will be defeated... I am only thinking about my clan members."

Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "Give me the order to retreat ten miles."

"Tian Sima, why are you retreating?"

"A group of rabble is no match for Zhonglang. This place is a ferry. If Cao's army reacts and sends troops to rescue, Zhonglang will be in danger."

Thinking about it, it seems reasonable.

The five hundred Euphorbia warriors did not express any objection and began to retreat along with Tian Fang.

At the same time, Zhang He's troops had rushed into Tacun!

As soon as he entered the village entrance, Zhang He suddenly realized something was wrong... It turned out that there was only one road in the village, which led directly to Quyuju Ferry. If you want to go to the intersection, you have to go through Tacun. But on this only path in the village, there are

Earth, rocks and debris were piled up in various directions.

Zhang He had to slow down and wanted to cross the trail.

But as soon as the order was issued, a war horse whined. A war horse was marching and suddenly fell into a small pit. Although the pit was not deep, it caused fatal injuries to the war horse. The tibia of the front leg was suddenly broken, and he fell to the ground and neighed.

...and the knight on horseback was even more knocked dizzy.

Zhang He said: "Light the torch and see the road clearly."

The Euphorbia soldiers quickly lit torches and illuminated the road clearly.

There were quite a lot of holes in the ground, and there were some obstacles to go around, so the cavalry couldn't speed up at all.

Zhang He frowned, looked at the path in front of him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Just when he was about to remind the soldiers to be more careful, he suddenly heard a rapid bang. Bang bang bang... From the roofs of the houses on both sides, two people suddenly appeared.

Three hundred archers.

Arrows rained down, shooting towards the Euphorbia warriors on the path.

Yuan Jun was holding a torch in his hand, and he seemed to be a moving target.

In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred Euphorbia soldiers fell into a pool of blood.

"Capture the houses."

Zhang He quickly shouted loudly, and hundreds of people immediately separated from the team and rushed towards the houses on both sides.

But before they could get close to the residence, a second wave of arrows had already flown in. Dozens of Euphorbia warriors were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. The rest rushed up and kicked open the door of the residence, followed by a series of screams. It turned out that,

Ditches were dug in the yard, with sharp wooden thorns standing upside down on the facades. People fell into the pit and were immediately impaled by the wooden stakes. It would be better if they died on the spot, but those who survived would be in the pit.

The screams were so shrill that it made people shudder.

At the same time, the third wave of arrows arrived.

After these three waves of arrows, Zhang He lost nearly one-third of his troops.

"Everyone dismount and go around the wall."

Zhang He knew that if he wanted to go to Quyuju, he had to pass through this village path. But now it seemed that Cao Jun was already prepared. The obstacles in the village eliminated the cavalry's speed advantage.

It has become a fatal threat. If these Cao troops in the village are not eliminated, or defeated, the Euphorbia soldiers will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. In fact, the casualties have already been heavy, and he must make changes. However,

It doesn't matter if they can't fight on horseback, because the Euphorbias have always been elite warriors who can fight on horseback when mounted and on foot when dismounted. As long as they can bypass those traps, archers like Cao's army will have no effect.

Hundreds of Euphorbia soldiers dismounted and rushed toward both sides of the trail.

Just as they were about to bypass the courtyard wall, they suddenly heard the sound of clappers and groups of Cao soldiers rushed out from behind the courtyard wall.

At the head was a sturdy man, holding a large disc axe, rushing out like an evil god. He rushed into the crowd, the ax wheel opened and whirred. Although the Euphorbia Warrior was brave, he was not that sturdy man.

His opponent, in the blink of an eye, seven or eight Euphorbia warriors were knocked to the ground by him.

"Han De again, Yuan Thief is still alive."

The big man's voice was like a huge thunder, rushing through the crowd.

Seeing this, Zhang He couldn't help but became furious, dismounted from his horse and stepped forward with a gun.

Han De didn't show any fear when he saw Zhang He coming up. His big ax flew and he forced his way out. Seeing that he was still seven or eight steps away from Zhang He, he roared and stood up. He raised his round ax high above his head and struck a blow.

Shuanghuan's eyes widened, "Yuan Thief, why don't you die!"

The big ax struck Huashan with great force and fell with a roar.

Zhang He quickly raised his gun to meet him. There was a loud clang, and the force from the big disc ax made Zhang He's arms numb...

This guy is so strong!

However, Zhang He is not afraid of Han De.

From the previous confrontation, he had realized that although Han De was strong, he was not afraid.

Taking three steps back, Zhang He's big spear was in his hand, and with one move, the strange python came out of the hole and stabbed towards Han De. Han De raised his big ax to meet him, but before the spear could arrive, Zhang He suddenly changed his move.

, the big gun raised up at an angle, and stabbed Han De in front of the door...

What a fast gun!

Han De was also startled and quickly ducked away.

The two of them were fighting together like this, and Han De couldn't resist it until they got together.

Seeing that Zhang He had the upper hand, he was even more unyielding. He danced with his big gun, imagining gun flowers, piercing circles to stop them, and using them to poke, silver light flashed, forcing Han De to retreat continuously.

"Kill the thieves with me!"

Zhang He shouted loudly, and when the Euphorbia soldiers saw that Zhang He had the upper hand, their morale was immediately boosted, and they fought with Cao's soldiers.
