Chapter 44 Critical Moments

Yan Liang turned his head and saw a strategist sleeping in. The man was Xu You and Xu Ziyuan!

"I wonder what good ideas Ziyuan has?" Yan Liang was even more upset when he saw Xu You because Yan Liang hated Xu You very much. At this time, Yan Liang seemed very reluctant to ask Xu You for advice.

Not only Yan Liang hated Xu You, but in fact, almost all the counselors and generals under Yuan Shao’s account, including Yuan Shao, were like this, because Xu You was so arrogant. If Xu You had not offered many strategies for Yuan Shao to pacify Yizhou, he might have been cut down by Yuan Shao long ago.

Xu You smiled mysteriously and whispered his plan in Yan Liang's ear. When Yan Liang heard it, his eyes lit up. The more he heard it, the more he became more and more happy. The anger he had just passed away. "Hahaha! This plan is indescribable, and the plain can be broken!"

A cavalry quickly approached the southern gate of the plain, with about two thousand people, wearing the big flag of Xie, the war horses did not have kicks, and the soldiers were wearing Xie army armor, but they did not use long-handled swords. After a while, the cavalry had arrived at the city of Pingyuan, and a thousand defenders on the city wall immediately set off their bows and arrows, ready to shoot arrows at any time.

"I am General Zhang's subordinate. I am here to support him at the order of the general. Please open the city gate quickly!" A man dressed in a general rushed out of the cavalry. He stepped forward to show the token and shouted loudly. Because it was too far away and the token was only the size of a palm, the goalkeeper could not see clearly. He felt something was wrong in his heart, but for a moment he didn't know where the problem was. "Your Excellency, wait for a moment, and I will send someone to inform you."

"The Yuan army is attacking the city, and the military situation is urgent. If the city is lost due to delay for a moment, and the envoy will blame you, can you afford it?" The general outside the city was anxious when he heard this, and was angry and angrily questioned the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper was hesitant. After a brief ideological struggle, he gritted his teeth and ordered the city gate to be opened.

"Coax..." The city gate was heavy, and the soldiers who opened the city gate had to work hard to slowly open the city gate. When the generals outside the city saw that the city gate finally opened, they immediately showed an undetectable smile. They waved their hand quietly, signaling the soldiers to continue moving forward.

The goalkeeper on the city wall watched the other party get closer and closer. Just as the other party was about to enter the city, he instantly remembered the problem and was shocked. "Shoot the arrows! Shoot the enemy's troops! Quickly close the city gate!"

When the generals outside the city heard this, they quickly took the lead in rushing inside, and their subordinates followed closely.

The soldiers responsible for opening and closing the city gate finally opened it before they opened it. Now they suddenly heard that they wanted to close the city gate. Although the soldiers were exhausted, they all knew that if the lockdown slowed down, they might lose their lives. They tried their best to slowly close the city gate. "Coax..."

Many soldiers on the city wall relaxed their vigilance when they heard the city gate opening, put down their bows and put the arrows back into the archer pot. Now the generals suddenly shouted to shoot arrows, and the soldiers were busy picking their bows and placing arrows without aiming, and they shot arrows at the enemy.

Most bows and arrows flew towards the generals who rushed in the front. The general was very good at riding. He could release the reins even without a kick. He waved his spear with his hands and pushed away the densely packed bow and arrow, and his speed did not decrease at all. Some of the more unlucky soldiers behind the generals were unfortunately caught in the arrow and fell off their horses, and were immediately trampled to death by friendly horses.

Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters... As the enemy gets closer and closer, the city gate is about to close. Just when the city gate is only half a meter closed, the enemy rushed in!

The enemy general swept his spear without hesitation. With a "whip", the gun hit the backs of several soldiers on the left pushing city gate! After the soldiers immediately sprayed out a mouthful of blood mist, they fell softly to the ground, and the blood dyed the city gate red. The soldiers who pushed the city gate on the right turned around and ran away when they ran a few steps away!

On the north side of the plain, Yu Jin led his personal guards to travel around, but no matter how hard Yu Jin tried to kill the enemy, more and more Yuan troops climbed the city wall, and they could not kill them. Seeing the soldiers around him falling down one after another, Yu Jin was filled with grief and anger. He gritted his teeth and slashed the Yuan army left and right, avenging the deceased soldiers!

"Report..." Yu Jin turned his head and saw a blood-covered messenger running towards him, and he secretly shouted in his heart! Generally speaking, messenger does not need to participate in the battle. Since messenger is covered in blood, it can only mean that a certain position of our side has been compromised!

"Report to General, Yuan's army has broken through the South Gate and has entered the city!" The messenger came to Yu Jin and clasped his fists to Yu Jin. No one from the South Gate came to report the enemy's attack. How could it be broken? Faced with such a situation, Yu Jin was unbelievable and put his sword on the messenger's neck and questioned sternly. "What should we do if we dare to lie about military information?!"

The messenger could feel the coldness of the sword. As long as Yu Jin pulled it gently, he would not have to doubt whether he would die. The messenger was so scared that he was trembling all over. "General, General, General, and Hu Zhi did not dare to talk nonsense. Just now, Yuan Jun disguised himself as our army and opened the city gate..."

As for what the messenger said later, Yu Jin could no longer hear. Not only did he not hear what the messenger said, but he could not even hear the shouts of the soldiers fighting. For a moment, the whole world began to shake violently, and he became dizzy as he shook. He felt weak all over and could not hold the sword. He let it fall to the ground, and he couldn't stand firmly, allowing his body to fall down weakly. His subordinates surrounded him and shouted in front of him, but he really couldn't hear it. Yu Jin just wanted to stand up and continue fighting, but his body was not obedient, his eyelids became heavier and he struggled to open it a few times, but finally he closed unwillingly.

"The general is not seriously injured. He is just overworked and overdrawn, and he will be unconscious." One of the guards pointed his finger at Yu Jin's nostril to conclude and looked up at the other guards. "The most urgent task is to send the general away. Someone came to carry the general. If you cut off the rear, you must not let the general be injured!"

The other guards turned around tacitly and helped to send Yu Jin to the man's back, surrounded him and sent Yu Jin to the city wall.

More and more Yuan troops climbed the city wall. The city gate was opened, and Yuan soldiers under the city entered one after another. Xie soldiers fled and surrendered. The resistance on the city wall was getting smaller and smaller. The victory libra was tilting towards Yuan army. More than a hundred Xie army guarding the flag on the city wall were brutally killed. Those who were not dead were stabbed into honeycombs by long spears. The Xie flag was thrown into the moat outside the city and replaced with the Yuan flag!

The city was sparse and the remnants of Xie's army were resisting, but it was only a matter of time before the Yuan army surrounded and suppressed.

Just when the battle was almost over, the Xie army cavalry, who was late in Shanshan, rushed in from the southern gate of the plain! The Yuan army soldiers who were fighting for the heads of the Xie army saw that the situation was not good, left their heads and fled in panic. (Except for Xie Chengbin, other warlords all used the enemy's head to reward or advance)

When people see the headless bodies of friendly troops lying all over the ground, they will feel angry. What's more, some of the iron cavalry are natives from the plains. Seeing their hometown being ruined like this, they are even more unforgivable! They urged their horses to speed up and chase after them. Not long after they ran, they chased the Yuan army soldiers, or wielded a long-handled sword to kill them or directly hit them with a war horse!

The street is about thirteen meters wide, and the iron cavalry is divided into three rows in parallel. Those non-combatants carrying flags and other non-combatants are in the middle. Almost all the iron cavalry on the outside are on the kicksticks and holding swords in both hands. Some Yuan army soldiers barely avoid the iron cavalry's long-handled sword, but in less than a second, they are killed by the next long-handled sword. Some Yuan army soldiers saw that they could not escape and died, so they fought with the iron cavalry, holding guns in both hands, and poked them up to the iron cavalry with all their strength! As a result, the knight killed the Yuan army soldiers and fell with the war horse.

Because the street is too narrow, the iron cavalry cannot expand its formation. Looking down from a high altitude angle, Xie Jun's iron cavalry is like the flooding of the Yellow River. Wherever he goes, Yuan's soldiers are all over. On the surface, the iron cavalry is very majestic, but in fact, the iron cavalry is not suitable for rushing in such a narrow place. Xie Chengbin is very clear about this. The reason why he did this is not because Xie Chengbin was hot-headed, but because he wanted to find Yu Jin. After all, there are too few talents available on Xie Chengbin now. It is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is hard to find a general!

Zhang Fei led the Iron Cavalry to advance all the way, and now he has rushed to the county seat and gathered hundreds of remnants. They claim to be the guards of the East Gate and the West Gate, and do not know where Yu Jin is currently.

After passing the county government, the Yuan army was much more dense, and the cavalry casualties began to increase. There were only a dozen casualties when they ran from the south gate to the county government. Not long after the county government, the casualties had exceeded 100. It is estimated that at least more than a thousand casualties would be caused by rushing to the north gate. It is hard to say what happened after leaving the north gate.

An unexpected thing happened! When the Iron Cavalry was about to arrive at the North Gate, the Yuan army here was so dense that it was very crowded. No matter how hard the Iron Cavalry urged the horse, it could not accelerate. The North Gate was closed by the Yuan army! Yuan army from all directions emerged from alleys in the city and was gathering here. The Iron Cavalry and the remnants following behind were surrounded. While in a dilemma, casualties rose sharply! What surprised Xie Chengbin even more was that a tavern next to suddenly opened the door, and dozens of Xie soldiers surrounded and carried Yu Jin out.

Whether it was an iron cavalry or a remnant, Xie Jun fell one by one in a pool of blood.

Looking at the ground and walls stained with blood, Xie Chengbin suddenly remembered the tips Zuo Ci gave him, which he could use if he was facing a bloody disaster! Fortunately, Xie Chengbin kept it with him.
