After listening to Pound's words. Zhang Ning slowly put down the sword on his neck. Whenever there is hope of life. Who wants to make a mistake? Pound was right. There are only the warhorses of the Great Han Legion with horseshoes. To make such a loud hoof sound. The benefit of horseshoeing is of course not just to make the hoof sound more shocking. It can also be used to deal with the enemy's horse nails. More importantly, it can protect the horseshoe. Extend the service life of the horse. Of course. For Zhang Ning now. The sound of an iron-clawed war horse stepping on the bluestone slab in the city. It's really more beautiful than the sound of nature.
The sword was re-sheathed. Zhang Ning has returned to calm. Waved to Pound. Said: "General Pang wait a minute. Let's wait here. If it's our own. We can always be safe. If it's the enemy. We can't rush out. The result is the same."
Pound did not expect Zhang Ning to be at such a critical moment of life and death. There is also such a thorough consideration. Also secretly admire. He folded his hands and said: "Finally, I will obey."
They guessed well. This hoof sound was made by the cavalry of the Han regiment led by Xu Huang himself. Obtained Liu Xin's Flying Pigeon Biography. Chartered him to lead his troops into Runan. Xu Huang wanted to fly to Pingyu overnight.
Xu Huang led 10,000 cavalry first. Let Shi Huan follow with 20,000 infantrymen. that's all. Xu Huang kept going all the way. All walks from the county to the township will take a detour. Finally arrived outside Pingyu city early this morning.
Because of the march day and night. The soldiers hardly got a chance to rest. And the cavalry is really not suitable for siege. Although Xu Huang was extremely anxious in his heart. But on the big deal. He was not at all confused. The soldiers were immediately ordered to dismount and rest for a while. Prepare for the arduous siege war.
however. The news returned by the sent out to detect the horse surprised him. The north gate of Pingyu City opens. The shouts of killing in the city were deafening. Xu Huang couldn't take a break. Turn on the horse immediately. Bring your army into the city. Just hit the gate of the city. Xu Huang, who took the lead, saw two white doves fluttering in the direction of the east gate. Flew north.
The city shouted and killed. All the birds have been so startled that they don't know where to hide. These two white pigeons are particularly abrupt under the blue sky. Xu Huang glanced at it twice before noticing it. Suddenly woke up. Those are the two homing pigeons that Zhang Ning brought with him. I once told her. As long as it is in danger. The homing pigeons must be released. Report to yourself.
Xu Huang couldn't think too much. The big axe waved towards the east of the city. Yelled: "Brothers. Charge with me."
Kill it this way. Except for the chaotic party with a yellow scarf on his head. There are also soldiers in old-style Han military uniforms. No matter who it is. Just block Xu Huang's path. His head is an axe. I don't know how many people were killed along the way. Finally saw the smoke billowing ahead. There are still bursts of fire faintly. Xu Huang's heart constricted. The horse rushed towards the direction of the smoke.
Ye Lang and Er Leng'er listened to the coughing in the yard getting weaker and weaker. This time it didn't look like a disguise. But two people gain a wise from a ditch. Don't rush into it in a hurry. Instead, the soldiers were ordered to continue adding firewood. Put on a posture of not letting the people in the yard pass out.
suddenly. The two heard a rush of horseshoes behind them. A large group of cavalry swept over like a whirlwind. The soldiers who were busy adding firewood had not yet realized what was going on. Just heard a thunderous voice resounding in their ears: "Kill. Don't keep one. Kill all."
Xu Huang already understood. These people want to deal with the people in the yard in a smoky way. Nearly a thousand people besieged a small courtyard. It is also necessary to use this kind of indiscriminate means. It shows that the people in the yard must be very powerful. In addition, there are some unique iron arrows scattered around the yard. That kind of iron bolt can only be used on the short crossbow equipped by the Flying Tiger Guards. Xu Huang is basically certain. Surrounded by these people in the yard are Zhang Ning and Pound. The anger was blazing.
Although Liu Bei's private soldier has a strong combat effectiveness. But that is also relative to armies like the Yellow Turban Army and Yuan Shu. When they met the more powerful cavalry of the First Legion. It became a group of sheep to be slaughtered. Flying up and down with the saber. Screams, despair, and begging for mercy happened one after another.
Xu Huang ignored these people. The horse rushed straight to the door of the backyard. Fly away from the horse. Kick to open the courtyard door. Shouted: "Ning'er. Are you okay?"
The dozens of guards who had survived the catastrophe had long heard that this voice was the General Xu that they were most familiar with. Can not help cheering in unison: "It is the general who is here. It is the general who is here. We are saved."
Zhang Ning also ran out after hearing the sound. Weeping and threw into Xu Huang's arms. Xu Huang was flushed with blood all over his body. But Zhang Ning can no longer take care of this much. The feeling of being lost and regained. Let her sense of smell and vision all fail.
Pound also walked over. Abandoned the big knife. Kneel to the ground on one knee. Loudly said: "The terminal guard is weak. Madam is in danger. Please convict the army."
Zhang Ning hurriedly said: "Husband. All low-ranking concubines make their own decisions. It has dragged down General Pang and the brothers. Now they are also causing the evacuation of husband. Low-level concubines..."
Xu Huang gently soothed Zhang Ning. Said: "Ning'er. My husband did not leave his post without authorization. This time the leader came. It was ordered by the lord's general. General Pang. You and the brothers stick to this. Xu X thanked you first. The battle is over. Discuss the merits separately. Brothers. All follow me on the horse. Kill the thief."
Now Liu Xin trains cavalry. I have deliberately brought more horses to the team. For soldiers to alternate riding. It saves horsepower. You can also exercise riding skills. These are all Liu Xin learned from the later Mongolian cavalry. Of course. There are not many war horses in the Great Han Legion. It is not possible to equip each cavalry with two horses. But like this ten thousand cavalry led by Xu Huang. Three or four thousand extra horses have also been equipped. So soon some soldiers led the horse.
Zhang Ning was originally a heroine. At this time you have to escape from the sky. It is also a burst of pride. Grabbed a war horse. Pull out the sword from his waist. Rushed out first. Xu Huang worries about her loss. Hurried over. The husband and wife fight side by side. A sword, a sharp axe. Straight to kill the ghost crying wolf howling. The leader is invincible.
Jian Yong stayed on the tower at the south gate. Looked at the thick smoke rising from the east side of the city twice. His mood has experienced two ups and downs. If you can control Xu Huang's woman in your hands. Liu Bei has hope to gain a foothold in Runan. Such a result is worth his expectation. Gradually. The thick smoke in the direction of the east gate subsided. Jian Yong couldn't help standing up. Looking eastward. Anxiously waiting for news ahead.
suddenly. There were hooves of horses. Jian Yong suddenly woke up. The sound of these horseshoes is very strange. Most of his men are pawns. Gong Du and Liu Pi didn't have many cavalry. And listen to the sound of horseshoes. But it seems that there are thousands of troops. Jian Yong followed Liu Bei for so long. No other skills. But it is very sensitive to the coming crisis.
Jian Yong was originally on the tower at the South Gate. He felt bad. Immediately rushed down to the city with a few cronies. Go in the direction of Xin Cai.
The battle subsided slowly. Xu Huang and Zhang Ning walked into the Runan Prefect's Mansion side by side. Gong Du has a bandage on his arm. He greeted him bloody.
Just now. Gong Du is chasing Liu Pi with his troops. Jian Yong's men killed him by surprise. In haste. He had to run away. But it didn't take long. Another more powerful army came in. The war horse galloped in the streets and alleys of Pingyu City. The knight on the horse yelled "The one who descended will not kill." So the gangsters with yellow scarfs knelt down and prayed for surrender. Only those guys in old military uniforms were doing futile resistance.
Gong Du's arm was injured. The knife can't hold it anymore. Where dare to continue to resist. Kneeling in the crowd, too. Ordinary Yellow Turbans mostly wear commoner clothes. But Gong Du has a distinctive armor. It was this armor that blocked the knife in his arm for him. Otherwise, one of his arms would have been taken off long ago. But it is also this distinctive armor. It made him kneel in the crowd to look extraordinarily abrupt. He was quickly picked up by the Han cavalry.
Fortunately, Zhang Ning had told Xu Huang a long time ago. Gong Du and Liu Pi are two. One wants to be sincere. The other person wants to be against her. So when you know the identity of Gong Du. He was placed in the prefectural palace. And the army doctor who accompanied him helped him bandage. Now Gong Du is very thankful that he has chosen the right path.
Just asked Xu Huang and Zhang Ning for peace. Gong Du's eyes suddenly burst into anger. Liu Pi was escorted in by several guards.
in fact. Liu Pi is cautious. When Jian Yong brought people into the city. He slipped faster than a rabbit. Neither was injured. Didn’t suffer. But the guards who escorted him hated him as much as Gong. Their faces are still dark. It's all made by the smoke. Although Liu Pi was not the one who put the smoke. But it was him who made the grass. So the guards also ignored the military order prohibiting the abuse of prisoners. It is inevitable to punch and kick Liu Bi along the way. Make him like this.
Gong Du jumped forward. Raised his foot and kicked towards Liu Pi. But it affected the injury of his arm. Can't help but exhale in pain.
Xu Huang waved his hand. Said: "General Gong. You retreat. Xu will take care of Liu Pi's matter."
Liu Pi looked at Xu Huang. He looked at Zhang Ning who was standing behind him again. The legs couldn't help but soften. "Plop" fell to his knees. Knocking again and again said: "Young Master, please be forgive. The disciples have accepted Jianyong's enchantment. Only... ah..."
Without waiting for his words to finish. Zhang Ning had already raised his whip and drew it heavily. A deep blood stain suddenly appeared on Liu Pi's face. Zhang Ning took out the Peace Road token in his arms with his left hand. With a "choking" right hand, he drew out the sword. Pushing towards Liu Pi step by step. Liu Pi crawled back. His face was full of fear. He kept saying: "No. Don't kill me. Young. Young master, please spare my life."
