Chapter 338: Centurion
"Okay, the reinforcements are coming, block it for me, block it, don't let the pirates rush into the city. Kill! The county commander Pei Xuan endured the knife wound on his body and yelled.
Before Xu Rong came to the rescue, the county lieutenant of Muping County killed three or four pirates desperately. It's a pity that there are many pirates after all, and they were finally killed by a few pirates who rushed up.
"Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming. Avenge the dead brethren! "The remaining county soldiers saw that reinforcements were coming, and they were also fighting desperately against the pirates.
Of the five or six thousand pirates, several hundred had already been killed, two or three thousand had climbed to the top of the city, and two or three thousand were still under the city. Seeing the dust flying in the rear, the war horses neighing, and the three-way soldiers and horses killing him, he couldn't count how many people and horses rushed towards him for a while.
Guan Cheng was a little flustered in his heart, thinking that since it was the official army reinforcements who came to save this Muping County, the number of people must not be too small. The current management is a little entangled, just attacked the city, and there are still some county soldiers resisting in the city. It was not possible to attack the city for a while, and now there was a reinforcement in the rear, which can be regarded as a dilemma.
Xu Rong didn't care whether Guan Cheng was entangled or not, and led the army to advance in a neat military formation, and the pirates scattered and braved, and the discipline was very poor, and the pirates retreated one after another for a while. Wang Lie hurriedly urged his horse and held a spear. Pick up a pirate with one shot, wield a spear and stab it left, stab, or throw, or knock, killing more than a dozen pirates in a row. The five hundred elite soldiers behind him rushed to kill the pirate formation.
Xu Sheng led his subordinates to assassinate the pirates who climbed to the top of the city, and they suffered the smallest casualties on the entire city wall, but they killed three or four times as many pirates as those county soldiers.
Zhou Tai was the most violent, and he didn't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy for a long time, but he only felt itchy all over his body. Now Han Xuan gave him a chance to sharpen, and he couldn't lag behind. A steel knife made by Pu Song in his hand, engraved with the word "Youping", Zhou Tai took this treasure knife and frantically killed the pirates. Although he and the five hundred elite soldiers behind him were the last to charge among the three soldiers, they were the first to enter the battle under the leadership of Zhou Tai's outburst.
"Whoever is in charge, come and die!" Zhou Tai waved the steel knife in his hand and shouted loudly.
"In the middle of the thief army, the one dressed in black is the one in charge!"
"The one who holds the long knife is the one who bears it!"
"The ugly one is the one who is in charge!"
“..........”
Under Zhou Tai's questioning, either the county soldiers at the head of the city, or the soldiers in the army who had seen Guan Cheng responded. But the chaotic voice sounded, which made Zhou Tai a little confused about where the tube was.
It made Zhou Tai's heart irritated, and he roared and waved the steel knife in his hand to cut an unlucky pirate who came over in half.
Xu Rong and Xu Sheng also didn't know who was in charge, but Pei Xuan, the county order, did. Pei Xuan took a closer look and found that it was Guan Cheng who was in the center of the pirates and commanded the pirates to resist.
"The tallest person in the middle is Guan Cheng!" The county commander Pei Xuan pointed a spear in the direction where Guan Cheng was located and shouted loudly.
Zhou Tai and Wang Lie also heard Tai Shici's words, and directly urged the war horse to kill Guan Cheng. Guan Cheng saw that two fierce generals were coming towards him. There was also some panic in my heart.
"Quick, stop the coming, kill them for me! Kill! Guan Cheng yelled at the pirates beside him.
The pirates swung their knives at Zhou Tai and Wang Lie to kill, and Zhou Tai's armor looked more like a general, which naturally attracted many pirates to surround him. Zhou Tai rushed left and right, cutting down a large number of pirates, Guan Cheng's face kept changing, he didn't expect to be so brave in the future, and he couldn't help but be a little frightened.
And Wang Lie's armor looked like an ordinary creep, and there were less than ten pirates who came to stop him. Wang Lie stabbed several pirates to death with a spear, and then went straight to Guan Cheng to kill, and Guan Cheng fought against Wang Lie's horse on foot. Although Wang Lie was only a centurion, he was better than having a war horse and stirrups, and later Han Xuan ordered a large number of people to build a large number of Takahashi saddles to reduce the longitudinal movement distance of the rider on horseback. With the stirrups and the Takahashi saddle, Wang Lie's riding skills are comparable to those of ordinary horsemen.
"Who is coming, do you dare to report your name?" Guan Cheng swung Wang Lie's spear away with a spear and distanced himself from him.
"Centurion, Wang Lie." Wang Lie replied lightly, Guan Cheng was still a little frightened, knowing that Wang Lie was just a little centurion, he was ashamed and angry. Guan Cheng immediately raised his spear and stabbed at Wang Lie again, Ren Guan Cheng took out all his strength, but he still couldn't take Wang Lie.
Xu Rongzheng led the army towards Guan Cheng to kill, but saw that Guan Cheng not only did not escape, but instead fought with Wang Lie, a centurion. Xu Rong was very disdainful of Guan Cheng, but remembered that Han Xuan told him to collect as many talents as possible on this trip and retain the strength of the army.
Xu Rong then ordered: "Capture the inheritor alive, and the official will be promoted to one level." ”
Han Xuan's soldiers marched forward one by one and killed Guan Cheng, which made the battlefield even more chaotic. Four or five thousand people in the city were fighting together, and more than two thousand people were fighting in the city.
Now on the battlefield, the soldiers of Han Xuanjun wanted to capture the thief leader alive, and several centurions rushed over on horseback, and the spears, swords and spears in their hands continued to stab the pirates. Wang Lie was stopped by the surging pirates, and Guan Cheng took the opportunity to retreat into the formation of his subordinates to protect himself. Wang Lie stared at Guan Cheng tightly while killing the enemy, for fear that if he ran away, his military merits would be enough to rise to the next rank, and if he captured Guan Cheng again, he would soon be able to become a commander of a thousand commanders.
Guan Cheng relied on the fact that he had more soldiers and horses in his hands, and he was not afraid, so he had no intention of running away at all. Before, Guan Cheng didn't know how many reinforcements were coming, so he panicked, but as the two armies fought, he gradually found that although these Han troops were elite, their numbers were smaller than their own subordinates.
Guan Cheng looked at Xu Rong, who was commanding the battle, and said in his heart that as long as he killed this enemy commander, the enemy army would be defeated by itself. Guan Cheng's idea is good, but although Han Xuanjun has few people, he is better than the elite. Although the pirates are more human, their combat effectiveness is not as good as the elite soldiers of the greedy wolf battalion trained by Xu Rong himself.
Guan Cheng shouted, and led his own soldiers out of the formation with a spear in hand, knocking away a few Han Xuanjun soldiers in front of him, and then rushed straight towards Xu Rong. Xu Rong saw that Guan Cheng had sent him to the door, and immediately drew his sword to fight him, although his martial arts were not as good as Zhou Tai, but he had no problem dealing with Guan Cheng.
Guan Cheng was still more than ten steps away from Xu Rong, but was stopped by a riding general, Guan Cheng asked in surprise, "Who is coming?" ”
"Centurion Wu Ye." The rider replied, but the long knife in his hand beckoned. Guan Cheng fought with Wu Ye for a few moments, and when he saw that Xu Rong's subordinate sergeants were all around, he hurriedly retreated. But seeing that several cavalry generals behind him led the troops to kill together, Guan Cheng asked them who they were, but saw that those people replied one after another: "Centurion Pan Yong!" "Centurion Ding Yang!" “........”
In the blink of an eye, several centurions rushed in front of Guan Cheng, the look on Guan Cheng's face was extremely shocked, he didn't expect that there were so many centurions like Wang Lie in the enemy army! The enemy was really brave, and Guan Cheng couldn't resist it, and the spear in his hand was knocked out by several centurions. Guan Cheng pulled out the short knife on his waist to resist again, but saw Zhou Tai and Wang Lie kill him again, the two rushed to kill, and the personal soldiers around Guan Cheng fell one after another, and in the end, only four or five personal soldiers were left to protect him.
But the four or five guards were either stabbed in a transparent hole by Wang Lie with a shot, or they were divided by Zhou Tai's two knives.
Guan Cheng was stunned!
"Bear the hell!" Zhou Tai shouted, and the treasure knife in his hand slashed Huashan with a force, and greeted Guan Cheng's head directly.
Although Zhou Tai was the first to kill in front of Guan Cheng, Xu Rong came first, stopped Xu Rong's steel knife with a sword, and shouted: "General Zhou, I have an order first, be sure to capture Guan Cheng alive!" ”
Guan Cheng's eyes were full of disbelief, where were these soldiers and horses, they were so elite, defeating more than 5,000 pirates under his command with more than 1,000 people. Zhou Tai's knife was so deadly, he didn't have time to give Guan Cheng a daze, but Guan Cheng's martial arts were at the level of a third-rate general, otherwise he wouldn't be able to beat the centurion under Xu Rong. Guan Cheng could only rely on his instinct to swing his knife to block, but fortunately, Xu Rong raised his sword in time to block the force of Zhou Tai's slash.
Qiang~
Bite~
Bang~
Guan Cheng closed his eyes, and after a while, he cautiously opened his eyes and found that he was still alive. The enemy general he was going to kill before saved himself, Guan Cheng didn't know why he saved himself, but he saw Xu Rong and said, "You are the pirate Guan Cheng?" I am Xu Rong, the general of the right general, are you willing to surrender? ”
Guan Cheng had already heard of Han Xuan's name, and at this time he put down his knife and begged for mercy: "General spare my life, I am willing to surrender!" ”
Xu Rong raised his long sword and shouted loudly at the pirates who were still fighting from above: "Guan Cheng has surrendered, don't you surrender quickly!" ”
