"Is there any agreement in the city?" Zhao Xingde sat on the horse and turned around and asked.*1*1*1*

"Mr. Bing, you have agreed." Zhang Yong said respectfully, "Nothing is wrong." More than ten days ago, several students were staying in Hongshan Temple, waiting for Zhao Xingde's army to return to the rescue. They used small flags and a thousand-mile mirror to contact Ezhou City once a day. There were also people in Ezhou paying attention to Dongshan, and the sky was dim, so there was a response.

"Okay!" Zhao Xingde nodded and praised. After the gentleman's words, Zhang Yong suddenly felt in a good mood and even his body floated a little light. Zhao Xingde put down his copper surface, lifted the reins of the horse and shouted: "Go!" The six hundred iron cavalry who had already been fully dressed together urged the horses, and the war horses were wearing iron armor, like a galloping tower, rolling up with the violent sound of horse hooves and leaving. The three students took a few steps back and stood beside the road, watching the iron cavalry disappear at the turning point of the mountain road, and were fascinated and murmured: "A real man should be like this."

Zhao Xingde's body fell with the war horses and gradually adjusted his breathing evenly. According to the scout's description, although the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang were divided into several parts by the river. Except for the siege army concentrated in the east of the city, facing the north and the river in the direction of defense, the other camps were relatively loose, and it was also common for plunder and harassing the people. The wind blew in my ears, and the war horses seemed to know that they were about to reach their destination, which was obviously much more excited than on the way. There were hundreds of cavalrymen in front of me, and the formation was loose, as if they were Xiangyang scouts patrolling the road.

Zhao Xingde pulled out his horizontal knife, waved forward, and shouted, "Run over!" Almost at the same time, Yang Zaixing and Ma Rui, two tiger generals, raised their rifles and shouted loudly, "Kill!" Six hundred iron cavalry rushed straight over, and the rifles stabbed and attacked. The opponent's cavalry was caught off guard and was immediately dispersed. The rest of the people were unwilling to resist and urged the horses to escape. "Quick!" Zhao Xingde shouted again, urging the horses to speed up and rushed forward. The trees beside the road quickly retreated. The six hundred iron cavalry came very fast, and passed through the Xiangyang military camp, but they were washed over before they could react. Not long after, Zhao Xingde saw the Ezhou city walls.

At the entrance of Qingyuan Gate, Cao Liangshi rarely lost his calm expression and stood at the window and looked into the distance. Several generals who knew the inside story suppressed their excitement and while giving orders loudly, they looked into the distance from time to time. A large group of rural soldiers were crowded in the city gate. "Hurry! Hurry!" The officers were urging loudly. The rural soldiers carried their hands and carried away the sand and stone belts blocking the city gate, and hundreds of selected warriors were guarding outside the city gate with a strong shield and spear. The Xiangyang army, who was sieging the city, seemed to have noticed it, and pushed the rushing car more vigorously. The city gate trembled continuously, and the door bolt made of whole wood also pulled the thick iron rings one after another.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Every move seemed to hit people's hearts. With the excited shouts of Xiangyang Army, many Ezhou defenders showed despair on their faces. No one knew why Lord Cao suddenly ordered the road behind the city gate to be cleared and ready to open the city gate at any time. Someone was secretly suspicious, could it be said...

As the Xiangyang army took turns to attack the city more and more fiercely, hundreds of cavalry appeared in a corner of the battlefield in a strife. The Xiangyang army was in chaos in the vicinity, while more infantry and cavalry gathered in the distance. In fact, before a pillar of incense, the Xiangyang army received news that the cavalry was approaching. However, because the number of these cavalry was not large, the central army did not even alarm Cao Xianggong, but only ordered the various troops to work together to encircle and suppress. However, unexpectedly, not only did this group of cavalry not hide, but instead came straight towards Qingyuan Gate, which was the most intense battle.

"Damn it!" Cao Di murmured, not knowing whether to scold the group of mosquitoes that suddenly broke into the battlefield or his subordinates' incompetence, he raised his whip and pointed at the battlefield ahead, shouting, "Don't let it go!" The four commanding cavalry immediately dispatched and headed towards the group of Ezhou cavalry from four directions. Both sides who were fighting fiercely saw this. At this time, the group of cavalry suddenly raised a flag high, and a big "Zhao" character swept in the wind. After a moment, cheers burst out like tsunamis like mountains and tsunamis on the top of Ezhou city.

"General Zhao is here!" Fan Changheng's voice was completely hoarse, and he could not hear his voice.

However, this did not prevent all soldiers from understanding what he meant. Fan Du's head yelled all night, and reinforcements would arrive tomorrow. All soldiers were skeptical, but now it has become true? What else can be more exciting than this? In Ezhou, there is no one else who can cast the "Zhao" battle flag under the attention of thousands of troops!

"Reinforcement - Reinforcement arrived" Someone cried with joy. In his tired body, a new force suddenly came to his body, driving them to lift the wooden stones and smash them into the enemy who was also shocked in the city like raindrops. After this fierce battle, the soldiers of Ezhou who were originally afraid of the battle have gradually become accustomed to it. Only by giving a glimmer of hope can they pluck up the last bit of strength and fight to the end.

"God, Zhao Dashuai's reinforcements have arrived!"

"Mr. Zhao's reinforcements have arrived!"

Countless people shouted like crazy. Zhao Xingde suddenly led his army outside the city, which was even more exciting than the appearance of tens of thousands of troops. The cavalry was extremely flexible and interspersed in the Xiangyang army. The two generals were thrust and stabbed with spears. The people were invincible, making the already panic-striking soldiers even more panicked. The siege of cavalry chased behind in vain, but the distance was getting farther and farther. Seeing this, Ezhou soldiers on the top of the city cheered louder.

"Zhao Yuanzhi, he is back!" Cao Liangshi was full of excitement and ordered, "Open the city gate!"

At this moment, the Xiangyang soldiers and horses who were sieging the city had not yet retreated. When the city gate was opened, the enemy might take advantage of the situation to steal the city. However, no one from Cao Liangshi's order came to question. If the city gate was not opened, it would be unreasonable. As if Zhao Xingde arrived, the enemy would be afraid immediately. The Xiangyang soldiers and horses who were siegeing the city had no time to join the formation, and they had no intention of competing with the iron cavalry that rushed over, and they all scattered one after another. Yang Zaixing took the lead and rushed straight to Qingyuan's gate.

A hundred steps away, he shouted at the city gate, "Open the city gate!" At this time, the city gate saw the "Zhao" battle flag more and more clearly. The cavalry surrounded one of the generals under his command, and the golden copper face was very ferocious. In the eyes of the defenders, General Zhao seemed to be like this. When Zhao Xingde pushed the copper face to show his true appearance, the defenders burst into loud cheers again in an instant. The entire Ezhou city was filled with joy and encouragement, as if he had won a big victory!

The sound of hooves was loud, and more than two thousand cavalry came in a fierce manner, as if they were coming towards Zhao Xingde, and as if they wanted to take the opportunity to rush into the city. Ma Rui was about to speak, and Yang Zaixing had already asked for battle first and said, "Let me go out of the battle and teach these rats a lesson." Zhao Xingde frowned slightly and nodded, "Fight quickly and don't fight in love!" Yang Zaixing shouted, "Jie! Jia! Jia!" He led the three hundred cavalry under his command to rush straight to the enemy.

There was a harsh "squeaking" sound from behind, and the heavy city gate slowly opened. Someone shouted inside the door: "General Zhao, come into the city quickly!" Zhao Xingde turned around and saw that the city gatekeeper was unfamiliar, nodded and smiled: "General, wait a moment, let Zhao plunder the formation for General Yang!" After that, he turned his head and stared forward.

Three hundred cavalry rushed into the enemy cavalry like tigers entering a flock of sheep. Yang Zaixing shouted again and again. A big gun was elusive and even took off several horses. He was also under his command. There were several elites in the town. His bows, arrows, horses and rifles were very good. During these days, he was exhausted and often left without fighting. He was holding a sense of anger in his heart. At this moment, he got the opportunity and used all his strength to rush through the enemy. After a while, he penetrated the enemy formation and turned the horses around. The war horses, weapons, and martial arts of the cavalry of Xijing were the best choices, but they were all comfortable all year round and did not see many real bloody battles. Yang Zaixing killed the ghosts and howled gods, and killed many people. He was brave enough to kill them. He could not even take up the courage to stop Yang Zaixing from returning to Ezhou City.

Zhao Xingde slightly controlled the horse and moved away to the side. Yang Zaixing rushed to the front and shouted loudly, "How?" Zhao Xingde laughed and said, "Not bad!" Yang Zaixing laughed, clamped his horse's belly with his legs and led his elite cavalry into Ezhou City. Seeing that the Xiangyang cavalry was already scared and did not dare to come up to invite the battle for a while, Zhao Xingde sighed and said, "It is precisely this that the Liao army entered the Central Plains." He ordered Ma Rui to lead his subordinates into the city first, and he was the last to retreat into the city.

Before leaving the city gate, the flag-plaque official came forward: "Shangshu Cao asked General Zhao to go to the top of the city to inspire the morale of the army."

"Okay," Zhao Xingde jumped off his horse, handed the reins to his personal soldiers, ordered Ma Rui to take good care of his subordinates, and went up the city tower by himself along the gate corridor. Cao Liangshi was waiting at the door, and when he saw Zhao Xingde, he said, "Yuanzhi has come, this Ezhou city will be as stable as Mount Tai!" "Brother Cao was awarded!" Zhao Xingde looked around the generals, nodded in his heart, and smiled and said, "Six thousand soldiers have gone back to the river to support. Yue Shumi Han Jiedu defeated the enemy and was about to lead tens of thousands of elite troops to support." Seeing that everyone's faces were full of excitement, he said, "I am united inside and win consecutive battles outside, which seems to be dangerous and safe. The traitorous party insisted on going south to get the fire. Although there were more than 100,000 people, he could not advance or retreat. Sooner or later."

The generals nodded repeatedly, even the personal soldiers standing beside him. Cao Liangshi sighed inwardly that many people could speak these words, but like Zhao Xingde, there were very few people who were at peace with one word.

At this time, Chen Sui, the governor of Qingyuan Gate, could not wait to raise Zhao Xingde's general flag. The enemy and our soldiers from far and near could see clearly that some of the defenders at the top of Ezhou City did not know that Zhao Xingde was returning to help. At this time, surprises were interspersed and cheered loudly. The shouts were louder and louder. At first, they were not very noisy, but later, they kept shouting neatly and repeatedly, "Expel the Northern Barbarians!" "Protect the territory and safeguard the people!". These two military names were reported from the Baoyi army. As for what they had to do with the Xiangyang army under the city, no one paid attention to it.
