The scream of the fallen Gaya soldiers finally aroused the alertness of the other Gaya soldiers. They shouted and ran towards them. The soldiers of the Zhang He army took down a unique crossbow on their backs, and these crossbows were equipped with arrows in advance, and there was a mechanism to ensure that the arrows would not be shot out accidentally.

In addition, this crossbow also has a five-speed arrow casket, which has a lever to open the strings and arches semi-automatically, which is a kind of crossbow. This unique crossbow was also provided by the Daliang court to Cao Chongjun. However, this kind of thing is not used by Liang's army, because the long-range individual soldiers of the Liang army are generally long-bowmen, needless to say. Even the long-range weapons used by the scouts are compound horn bows, and both the rate of fire and the power are greater than that of this kind of crossbow. Compared with this kind of crossbow, the only flaw is that it is not suitable for novices who do not use archery skills. The scouts of the Wei army of Cao Chong were selected from ordinary strokes, so naturally there is no time to conduct special archery training on them, so this kind of crossbow is most suitable.

When these Gaya soldiers rushed to them with swords and guns, less than eight feet away, Zhang He's elite scouts pulled the trigger and shot arrows. Although these crossbows were not powerful, they were so close, and the fact that the Gaya soldiers' armor was thin leather armor, they could easily penetrate the Gaya soldiers' bodies with one arrow.

The Gaya soldiers who were rushing behind saw the robes in front of him and fell down with a scream. They suddenly felt cold and slowed down. Those with shields raised their big shields, curled up, and tried to huddle behind the shield. Those without shields hurriedly threw away the torch and looked for cover nearby. Scout Zhang He took this time to collect the lever of the crossbow and put up another arrow.

A Gaya soldier walked carefully with his shield to a place less than a battle from Zhang He's scouts, and then shouted loudly and rushed towards the other party. The scimitar he raised in the air also slashed down. When the blade was only two feet away from the other party's head, his arm softened, and the scimitar fell to the ground with a jingle. The other party took the hang knife in an instant, and the arrow shot into his face at a very close distance just as it was from the string.

Zhang He's scout knocked down a group of Gaya soldiers by using close shooting. But then another wave of Gaya soldiers rushed up. This time they didn't have time to get an arrow. They could only throw the crossbow to the ground and draw out the weapons to meet it. But at the same time, twenty or thirty Zhang He scouts climbed the city wall and put down more slings.

The two sides fought fiercely at the top of the city. A scout Zhang He killed two enemy soldiers in a row, but did not find a spear blade stinging towards his vest. However, another scout who had climbed up to the top of the city saved his life. The latter took off the crossbow that had been fully equipped with arrows and used arrows to cross the back of the enemy soldiers who had speared the spear and guns to a distance of two feet away. The Gaya soldier rushed to the ground without saying a word, and threw the spear in his hand far away.

Zhang He's scout was one to three, and his weapons and crossbows were used together to kill and injure the Gaya enemy soldiers. Originally, there was a stalemate between the two sides, and the Gaya soldiers had a slight advantage. However, as Zhang He climbed the city wall more and more soldiers, and the number of Gaya guards at the top of the city was limited, the Gaya soldiers under the city did not have time to arrive for a while, which eventually led to a reversal of the situation.

A large number of casualties of Gaya soldiers began to flee to the city. Zhang He's army chased him reluctantly and followed the city wall and rushed straight to the city gate. Then he killed more than a dozen soldiers at the city gate and opened the city gate. Nearly a hundred cavalry, tigers and leopards who had been waiting outside the gate, rode their horses into the city and went to the palace along the wide main street.

At this time, the streets were filled with Gaya soldiers who heard the sound of the wind and rushed to the top of the city to reinforce. They did not expect that the city gate would be opened so easily by the enemy. Unexpectedly, they were knocked to the ground by the iron cavalry of the tiger and leopard, and then they were crushed to pieces by the iron hooves. Immediately afterwards, a large number of Zhang He's infantry and the Liang army sailors on the Viking ships rushed into the city like a tide. The torches in their hands gathered into a sea of ​​fire and spread to the streets and alleys. Some soldiers rushed to the city heading along the stairways again and captured the city tower at the four corners of the city wall.

In the palace, Jin Lushan was still hugging Cao Pi's girl and sleeping soundly on the bed in the bedroom. The noise outside the palace did not wake them up at all. An urgent knock on the door suddenly sounded outside the door, and an anxious voice shouted: "King, wake up, Liang army is coming into the city! King, wake up!"

Jin Lushan was finally awakened. He was about to curse in anger, but when he heard that Liang Jun had entered the city, he was so scared that he sat up. At the same time, his newly married princess also woke up. Hua Rong cried in disgrace. The two of them hurriedly put on their clothes, but they didn't know what to do next. Jin Lushan himself was anxious to wander around the room, but couldn't come up with any idea.

At this time, a minister of Gaya, that is, a confidant of Cui Minggao, broke into the hall and said anxiously to Jin Lushan: "King, Guning City has been broken, and the enemy is coming to the palace. At this time, the king can only retreat to the other Gaya City Lords first to avoid the limelight."

Jin Lushan quickly responded: "That's all, let's prepare a sedan chair for me and the princess!"

The man immediately replied: "The sedan chair has been ready for a long time. We are waiting at the back door of the palace. Please ask the king and the princess to get on the road quickly." The few people hurriedly walked towards the back door of the palace under the escort of several Gaya guards.

Jin Lushan and his team left the back door of the palace and rushed towards the east gate amid the shouts of killing and fires all over the city. As long as they could leave the city, they could reach the nearest other city of Gaya more than thirty miles east. But they were already one step too late and could not escape from the city. When they arrived at the east gate, there were more than ten tiger and leopard cavalry and more than a hundred Zhang He soldiers holding torches on the street at the east gate, and the road was blocked.

Jin Lushan's entourage turned around quickly, but the more than ten tiger and leopard cavalry had already chased after him. Without saying a word, he cut and killed more than ten Gaya guards behind the palace to the ground. The tiger and leopard cavalry shouted loudly at the same time: "If you surrender, you will not kill them, and if you escape, you will be killed without mercy!"

The more than 20 guards left by Jin Lushan did not surrender, and did not dare to act rashly. They held the weapons with a nervous expression and kept turning their heads to look at Jin Lushan. Jin Lushan walked out of the sedan tremblingly and said, "Don't do it, don't do it, I am Jin Lushan, the king of Gaya!" However, Zhang Hebing could not understand his Korean language in Gaya accent. His princess was Cao Pi's sister, and Cao Chong's sister once again showed his identity in Chinese: "I am Cao Qiong, the princess of Anyang of the Great Wei Dynasty, and this is a husband of Gaya King. Don't do it, we will obey your general's decision."
