"Okay, dispatch immediately!"
Han Dang nodded and ordered in a deep voice.
Following his order, the coalition soldiers immediately took action.
People were holding titles and horses were picking bells. Under the cover of night, tens of thousands of horses and horses quietly moved towards Chenxian County.
Under the cover of night, Chen County is like a silent beast, with only a few lanterns on the top of the city.
After quietly approaching the city gate, Han Dang winked at Ling Tong.
Ling Tong walked forward knowingly and imitated the cry of the night owl,
"Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu..."
He called several times in succession, and within a short time, the city gate slowly opened, revealing a small crack.
But the one who came out was not Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, nor his subordinates Chen Ying and Bao Long.
It was a military commander that no one had ever seen before.
"Who are you? Why don't you see Governor Zhao?"
Han Dang frowned and stared at him sharply and asked.
"Reporting to the general, Thief Yang is hosting a banquet for my eunuch and generals Chen and Bao tonight. My eunuch is afraid of delaying the general's actions, so he specially ordered me to wait at the city gate."
the man replied.
Han Dang looked at everyone with suspicious expressions.
How could Zhao Fan send someone he had never met to handle such an important matter?
"Don't hesitate any longer. If Thief Yang notices it, it will be bad."
As the man spoke, he pushed the city gate behind him a little further.
"General, maybe Zhao Fan really can't escape?"
Yi Ji whispered.
Han Dang thought for a while, then nodded and said,
"Enter the city!"
The coalition soldiers immediately took action and poured into the city like a tide.
Yi Ji had been to Chen County before and was quite familiar with the route. He led Han Dang and others straight to Yang Ling's residence.
Seeing them leaving, the general who opened the city gate turned and walked towards the city wall.
"Report to General Guan, all enemy troops have entered the city!"
He said respectfully.
Guan Yu held on to the wall and watched Han Dang and others go away.
"I know, give the order and close the city gate tightly. No one can leave the city!"
"Here!"
The general took the order and left.
Let's talk about the coalition troops entering the city. Not far away, Han Dang suddenly stopped and raised his palm to signal everyone to stop.
"General, what happened?"
Ling Tong came forward and asked in a low voice.
"Something's wrong, something's wrong with lifting..."
Han Dang looked around and murmured to himself.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Fei said doubtfully.
"Don't you think the city is too quiet?"
Han Dang asked.
If he didn't say anything, everyone would notice that the city seemed too quiet.
Tens of thousands of coalition troops entered the city, and no matter how cautious they were, they still made a lot of noise.
However, the city was as quiet as death, with no sound of cocks crowing or dogs barking at all.
Such an unusual move can only mean one thing, they have fallen into a trap!
Thinking of this, Han Dang immediately roared,
"Give the order, the rear team becomes the front team, retreat!"
But it was too late.
"Rumble" footsteps sounded, and Soldier Cao's soldiers appeared at both ends of the street.
Wearing heavy armor, holding their swords and shields high, and marching in neat steps, they cut off the path of the coalition soldiers!
This is not the end.
Countless Cao soldiers also appeared on the roofs of the houses on both sides.
The long-range weapons such as Lingyue Repeating Crossbow and Three-Eyed Gun in their hands were aimed at the coalition soldiers below!
Seeing this situation, the expressions of everyone in the coalition army changed wildly!
"Haha, my general already knew that you were coming, and specifically ordered me to set up a dragnet here!"
"If you don't want to die in vain, please quickly put down your weapons and surrender!"
Ma Chao stood on the roof and looked at Han Dang and others with a joking look on his face.
"There is no way for us to surrender!"
Han Dang gritted his teeth and whispered to the people around him,
"For this purpose, the only way to have a chance of survival is to fight to the death!"
"What the general said is absolutely true!"
Ling Tong's father, Ling Cao, said in a deep voice,
"General, you can lead your men to the rear, and I will stop Cao's army!"
The situation was urgent, so Han Dang didn't care about talking so much. He patted Ling Cao on the shoulder and said solemnly,
"I'll leave everything to Captain Ling!"
"Father, I'll stay too!"
Ling Tong said without hesitation.
"Stop messing around, follow the general and break out quickly!"
Ling Cao said with a serious face,
"If you still think of me as your father, then be obedient!"
Ling Tong wanted to insist, but when he saw his father's determined face, he had no choice but to salute Ling Cao solemnly with tears in his eyes!
Seeing that the opponent had no intention of surrendering, but was getting ready to break out, Ma Chao no longer hesitated and waved his hand.
"attack!"
As he gave the order, a fierce street fight began!
The condescending Cao army took the lead in launching an offensive!
I saw arrows falling like raindrops, directly covering the coalition soldiers!
Although they held their shields high, they still suffered a lot of casualties under the dense rain of arrows.
Coupled with the three-eyed blunderbuss equipped by Cao Jun, the coalition soldiers suffered heavy losses!
After suppressing fire, Ma Chao nodded to Gao Shun below.
Gao Shun did not hesitate and commanded the trapped camp to charge towards the coalition forces!
Among all the infantrymen today, no army can compare to the trapped camp.
In such a narrow street, the power of the trapped camp is brought into full play!
The soldiers of the trapped camp were armed from head to toe, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. They were completely unstoppable when advancing.
The coalition soldiers who had just been baptized by a wave of crossbows and muskets were beaten back by the trapped camp before they had time to form a formation!
"Hold on, don't retreat!"
Ling Cao shouted loudly.
He knew very well that once his troops were defeated, his own people would trample on each other without Cao's army taking action!
But this is easy said, but how easy is it to resist Cao Jun?
Seeing that his soldiers were unable to stop him from falling into the camp, Ling Cao gritted his teeth, clenched the sword in his hand and charged forward!
He quickly waved his sword and shot away several soldiers trapped in the camp, only to stop the decline of the coalition forces!
However, his actions fell into the eyes of Ma Chao on the roof.
Ma Chao sneered, picked up his bow and arrow, and aimed at Ling Cao!
"Common man, look at the arrow!"
In order to show his martial virtue, before Ma Chao let go, he yelled as a reminder!
Ling Cao was horrified when he heard this. He didn't have time to raise his head and subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
However, he had just shot away two of Cao's soldiers, just when his old strength was exhausted and new strength was yet to emerge.
Before he could move his body, the arrow hit him directly in the face!
Ling Cao froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, and a moment later, he fell to the ground!
"General Meng Qi is good at archery!"
Gao Shun couldn't help but praise loudly.
As he was killed by Ma Chao with an arrow, the allied soldiers without a backbone were defeated and retreated towards the rear in embarrassment!
At the same time, the battle behind Han Dang and others was even more brutal!
The people responsible for cutting off their retreat were none other than Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
