[Chapter 074] Capture Xu He
Under the corridor and at the entrance of the street, the commander who was patrolling with nine Xiliang soldiers saw someone coming down from the tower and couldn't help but subconsciously asked: "Hey, why are you down? There is still a while before the changing of the guard!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Chang saw the appearance of the leader by the light of the fire. He suddenly shuddered and his heart tightened. Then when he saw that all the faces behind him were unfamiliar faces, he even trembled all over and shouted in a hissing voice.
road:
"There is an enemy attack!"
As soon as the words were spoken, ten long halberds were thrown at him. Except for the one who subconsciously dodged it, the nine people behind him were all directly killed!
"Separate five people to open the city gate. The others will be killed by me!" Yan Rou shouted loudly, then with a clang, he pulled out the sword from his waist and struck at the commander.
The remaining five soldiers also drew their swords and slashed towards Shi Chang.
Shi Chang jumped to the side and slashed down several sabers at the same time, cutting him into a bloody man. In pain, Shi Chang couldn't help but howl sadly:
"There is an enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!"
Before he finished speaking, several swords fell down almost at the same time. Shi Chang, who couldn't avoid it, was cut into a bloody man in an instant. His whole body convulsed and fell limply to the ground.
Faintly hearing the sound of soldiers and horses gathering in the distance, Yan Rouji said quickly: "Open the city gate and send a signal to notify the soldiers and horses to enter the city!"
"Here!"
The next moment, a sound of promise rang out, and a soldier took out his long bow with a calm expression, then attached a loud arrow and suddenly loosened the string.
Chirp—bang!
"kill-!!"
The sound of an explosion was particularly harsh in the silent night. Outside Hanxing City, there was a sudden cry of death, as if countless people were marching towards Hanxing City.
Crunch—
A long and piercing sound was heard, and the gates of Hanxing City were opened slowly. Not far away, darkness filled the air, and soldiers and horses with overwhelming murderous intent came into view. The tide-like shouts of killing were harsh and captivating.
...
In the Han Xingcheng County Magistrate's Mansion, Xu He, a subordinate of Song Jian, heard the shouts of killing. He immediately put on his clothes and rushed out, sweating profusely. Seeing the panicked defenders, he shouted repeatedly
:
"Don't panic! Don't panic! Wu Zhaohou's army is still outside Huaili City. Even if there is an enemy attack, there won't be too many enemies! Calm down! Calm down!"
Before the sad words could be heard, a sound of horse hoofbeats was heard, and a scout shouted from the air: "General, something bad has happened! Thousands of Wu Zhaohou's troops have entered the city!"
Thousands!
One word immediately caused Song Jianjun, who had been calmed down by seeing Xu He, to panic. He dropped the weapons in his hands one by one, turned around and ran in all directions!
One person took the lead, and a second person followed. For a moment, the entire Song Jianjun army was in confusion. In a moment, hundreds of people had disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Xu He was heartbroken and was at a loss for a moment.
"General, we can't go on like this!" A roar rang out, and the deputy general Gongsun Ju came over neatly with a gun in his armor, and said quickly: "I heard that the person leading the army this time is Yan Rou, wait until the end of the day to kill the enemy general.
, then the morale of Wu Zhaohou’s army will be in chaos, and our army will also be prepared to fight. By then, the outcome will not be known!"
With that said, he picked up his spear, got on his horse, led dozens of guards, and headed straight for the city gate!
Seeing that Gongsun Ju had disappeared, Liu He immediately became anxious and quickly drove his horse to follow him. Others didn't know it, but he, Xu He, knew it!
It is said that Yan Rou, who worked hard at every step and finally caused Han Sui and Ma Teng to suffer great losses, was by no means just a weak strategist!
...
"Yan Rou, die!"
There was a roar and thunder, Gongsun Ju leaped over a dozen people on his horse, and pierced Yan Rou with his spear, who was brandishing his saber.
Bang!
Yan Rou danced her sword at an angle, blocking Gongsun Ju's spear. Unprepared, Yan Rou and her horse took a few steps back, her face turned pale and flushed.
"Who is coming?" Yan Rou was shocked and asked in front of the sword.
Before coming here, according to the investigation information, there is no general in Hanxing City at all, but the man in front of me is obviously a general in this land of Liangzhou!
"I am the general of the King of Han's army at the head of the river, Gongsun Ju is the same. That traitor Wu attacked Liangzhou today. I will teach you whether you can come or go!" Gongsun Ju's eyes widened with anger, and he pointed his spear directly at Yan Rou, saying,
He just slapped his horse and danced his spear to kill Yan Rou.
Yan Rou sneered, sheathed the sword, sheathed it, reined in the horse, turned her head, ran into the crowd, raised her bow, drew an arrow to it, and raised her hand to shoot an arrow towards Gongsun.
Shoot them all away.
Poof!
A random arrow pierced directly into Gongsun Ju's left leg.
Gongsun Ju grunted, angrily put away his spear, took out a long bow, opened the iron bow, and shot an arrow at Yan Rou.
Yan Rou sided her body to avoid Gongsun Ju's long arrow, and raised her hand to shoot another arrow at Gongsun Ju. When Gongsun Ju saw the long arrow coming, he subconsciously turned aside.
On this side, Gongsun Ju's scalp immediately went numb, and the long arrow narrowly missed his ear. There was already a bleeding trace on his ear, and when he touched it with his hand, there was a large pool of blood!
Seeing that Yan Rou still wanted to raise his bow and shoot, Gongsun and Sun didn't dare to delay, so they turned their horses and blended into the crowd, heading back to leave.
Yan Rou smiled coldly, aimed at Gongsun Ju's vest, and shot an arrow directly.
"Gongsun Ju, be careful!"
When the arrow was drawn out, a loud shout rang out, causing Gongsun Ju to turn aside subconsciously. Yan Rou's long arrow passed directly through the waist, even tearing the leather armor!
A burst of cold sweat suddenly appeared on my forehead!
Seeing that Yan Rou had missed the hit, and was about to string the bow again, a bone-eroding coldness suddenly swept over her like a tide from the slanting stab.
After all, Yan Rou was also a veteran on the battlefield, so she naturally knew what was going on. She quickly lowered her body, and her left leg instantly reached to the right side, as if her whole body was hanging on the back of a horse!
Just as the action was completed, the cold and cold long arrow had already shot past, making a sound of breaking through the air, and pierced a soldier not far away from Yan Rou!
Straight through the throat!
While lowering his head, a strong general was already approaching with a halberd. Yan Rou quickly stood up, brushed her hands on her waist, and drew her sword to block him.
Bang!
Both of them took a step back!
In the flash of lightning, the two of them reacted almost at the same time, wielding their weapons and slashing at each other!
"Qiang!" The sword and the halberd struck each other in an instant, and there was an extremely harsh sound, sparks flew, and both of them retreated for a while.
Yan Rou quickly reined in his horse, raised his saber, and shouted: "Come and give me your name!"
Yan Rou was already a little shocked at this moment. There was such a person guarding the city. Although he was far inferior to Zhao Yun and others, he could at least compete with Cheng Huan and others!
"General Xu He!"
Xu He took a deep breath, put his hand on the reins, and looked at Yan Rou with stern eyes. The arm holding the halberd was still trembling slightly. It was obvious that the fight was not uncomfortable!
"Xu He, Xu Zhihua?" Yan Rou looked slightly shocked. According to the news, Xu He was just an ordinary general, but now it seems that is obviously not the case!
"It's me!" Xu He responded calmly, then snorted and said, "Yan Rou, I have heard of your name and never thought that you would come here so quickly, but...
"After saying this, Xu He raised his cold halberd again, pointed it at Yan Rou, and said in a ferocious voice, "If you want to pass through this place, you have to step over the body of this general!"
"Corpse?!" Yan Rou chuckled, not knowing what she was thinking of, and mocked, "I just don't know if he is so loyal!"
"In that case, you will know if you try it!" Xu He was irritated by Yan Rou's mocking tone. He laughed angrily, snorted coldly, and urged his horse to rush towards Yan Rou!
Although Yan Rou was not a person with outstanding martial arts skills, she was fearless and bravely rode her horse to meet him.
The two fought together, and under the protection of the guards on both sides, they fought like a lantern to one point. After fighting for dozens of rounds, Yan Rou's physical weakness finally began to be exposed, and it became increasingly difficult to parry. On the other hand, Xu
He, the more he fought, the more brave he became, and he became more energetic and ready to fight for another hundred or so rounds.
Unlike Xu He who had the upper hand at this time, Wu Zhaohou's army surged in and took advantage of the surprise attack. Facing the more than 4,000 Xiliang troops defending the city, Song Jian's army was simply overwhelming.
The Wu Zhaohou army holding sharp blades dispersed, and another party directly began to charge at all the Xiliang troops in the city. Song Jianjun, amidst the roar of the Wu Zhaohou army and the rain of arrows filling the sky, in less than half an hour, the Xiliang army
and Song Jianjun had already been defeated.
The street that was originally blocked by the Xiliang Army and Song Jianjun suddenly became sparse. The Xiliang Army and Song Jianjun who had not yet escaped had no fighting spirit and could not be stopped!
Just when Xu He was about to kill Yan Rou and take advantage of the situation to reverse the situation of the battle, Gongsun Ju's voice suddenly came over: "General Yan Rou, wait a minute, the villain Gongsun Ju is willing to sacrifice the city and surrender, in the hope of getting a life!"
When Xu He heard this, he was shocked. He turned his horse back in panic and looked behind him. He saw Gongsun Ju who had just escaped behind him and more than a thousand people throwing down their weapons and half-kneeling on the street. Others were still preparing to escape.
When Liang Jun and Song Jianjun saw this scene, they also knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Gongsun Ju, you despicable villain!" When Xu He saw this scene, his eyes almost split, and his whole body was trembling.
When Yan Rou saw this scene, she waved with a somewhat complicated expression. Quickly, a guard behind her took out a horn and blew it. The vast and distant horn sounded loudly. In a moment, thousands of Wu Zhaohou's troops passed through every corner.
The streets gathered from all directions and surrounded Gongsun Ju and others who had surrendered!
"The situation is over!" Xu He howled miserably, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and he fell off the horse with a pop.
Seeing Xu He fall to the ground, Yan Rou immediately ordered: "Come here, tie Xu He up. Remember to treat him kindly and don't use torture!"
