Chapter 198: Meng De came to the rescue
Bang bang bang!
One after another ladders slammed against the city walls with a loud noise. On the east wall, the three brothers, Guan Yu, Wen Han, and Xu Huang, all seemed to be as light as swallows, stepping on the ladder, jumping vigorously on the ladder, and jumping straight to the city wall. Behind him, 3,500 soldiers and horses followed.
Soon, Guan Wenxu and the others stepped on the side of the city wall. Immediately, they were besieged by countless thieves, armed with knives and guns. Guan Yu had a big knife in his hand, and he swept it hard, and under the blood light, he swept away five or six thieves. Xu Huang held a big axe in his hand, drank and yelled, and three axes in a row, hacking to death the three people who rushed to him. And Wen Han's gun picks very quickly, and the shadows of the guns are continuous, stabbing the thieves who rushed to death under the guns!
The three of them were in a great rage, and first rolled up a bloody storm on the east wall. Under their bravery, the morale of his soldiers has increased greatly, and the speed of crawling is getting faster and faster, and more than a dozen people have climbed the city wall one after another.
"Leave those three alone! Go and block the imperial army horses on the ladder first! Use boulders and boil oil to throw !! ”
The commander of the thief army on the east wall suddenly became anxious when he saw that people were climbing the wall one after another. He had been fighting with Wen Han's army for dozens of days, and he knew the courage of Guan Wenxu and the others, and every time the three of them killed, hundreds of soldiers would die under the hands of the three of them. In this regard, the commander of the East Wall Bandit Army was also very helpless, and could only use the tactics of crowds to resist the three of them. After all, as long as less than half of their men and horses climbed the city walls, he could still hold on. But once, more than half, and these three brave generals, I am afraid that this east wall will be difficult to defend anymore.
Therefore, the commander of the East Wall Thief Army focused all his energy on how to deal with the court soldiers and horses on the ladder. Under his command, the big stone and a pot of boiling oil were moved to the city wall.
"Second brother, fourth brother! Stop them! ”
When Wen Han saw these big stones rolling oil, he immediately swept away the crowd in front of him, and rushed straight to the side of the city wall. At the same time, they were shouting loudly. Guan Yu and Xu Huang comprehended in their hearts, knowing that once these big stones and oily weapons to defend the city fell, their commands would definitely suffer countless casualties.
Guan Yu and Xu Huang twisted the weapons in their hands, and some thieves who didn't know whether they were alive or dead came to block them, and they were easily killed like cutting cabbage. The two rushed to the junction between the ladder and the city wall, and there was a lot of momentum to guard the interface. The endless tide of thieves pounced on the commander of the thief army.
The battle on the east wall is fierce, one attack and one defense, and it is temporarily stalemate. The thief army did not have a fierce general who could kill the guards of the three of them, but the thief army had the advantage of numbers, and constantly used the sea of people offensive to kill. Once Guan Wen and Xu San's manpower is exhausted and they can't hold on, the soldiers on the ladder will be wiped out.
In contrast, the battle on the Western Wall side is no less fierce than that on the East Wall. Liu, Pan and Zhang took a more proactive approach. The interface between the cloud ladder and the city wall was guarded by Pan Feng alone, while Liu Bei and Zhang Fei went straight to the position of the commander of the thief army on the west wall, intending to kill the thief and kill the king first. The commander of the Western Wall Bandit Army knew Liu Bei Zhang Fei's intentions, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to guard around him.
Whew!
Zhang Fei wielded the Zhangba snake spear, and under its sweep, one by one the thieves fell, and Liu Bei leaned behind him, charging and killing the enemy troops behind Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei is like a crazy human strangulation machine, constantly advancing step by step towards the position of the commander of the Western Wall Thief Army!!
As for the position that Pan Feng guarded, although there were three or four interfaces around him, Pan Feng was more than able to deal with it, his one hundred and eighty giant axe was really powerful, and the range of injuries was amazing, whenever those thieves wanted to rush to other interfaces, Pan Feng went down with an axe on the side, and with a bang, a big pit immediately appeared on the ground, and I don't know how many people were killed. Frightened, those thieves did not dare to rush again for a while.
Compared with the battle situation between the east and west walls, the north and south sides are much inferior. Lu Zhi and his lieutenant general Wu Yong are average, and they do not have invincible generals such as Guan Xu, Pan Zhang, etc., and they attack extremely conservatively. However, it is also the case, which also makes the defenders of the thief army on the north and south walls anxious, lest the soldiers under their command be unable to attack the court soldiers and horses in a low grade. After all, the battle between the east and west walls is fierce, and Zhang Jiao also seems to be the attacking general.
The two sides of the siege led by Wen Han and Liu Bei were, of course, heavily guarded. Therefore, in this way, the forces of the north and south are slightly insufficient.
In the city walls of the east, west, north and south, although the battle situation is different, the killing is non-stop, and the screams of killing are endless!
"If it continues like this, I'm afraid that in less than ten days, Guangzong will no longer be able to hold it here. It seems that the last resort is going to be used. However, even if they can repel the court soldiers and horses at that time, the side effects of this medicine are extremely great, and if they get out of control in this city, if they don't distinguish between the enemy and me, it will be more than worth the loss. ”
Zhang Jiao hid somewhere in the city under the protection of some guards to watch the battle, and when he saw that the battle situation was becoming more and more unfavorable, he couldn't help but have a thought in his heart, but he was quickly suppressed by Zhang Jiao.
"Now I can only hope that the second brother and Guan Hai can lead the army back as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that the contemptible people will not escape."
Zhang Jiao squinted his eyes, his expression was a little cold, in fact, he had no fear of death, he actually decided to revolt, and he had already left life and death behind.
As soon as Zhang Jiao's thought came to him, he shouted and killed outside the city. Zhang Jiao was taken aback, thinking that it was the court soldiers and horses coming to help, and immediately ordered a few guards to go to the city wall to investigate.
At this time, in all directions of the east, west, north and south city walls, the imperial army horses who were fighting with the thief army heard the sound of shouting and killing outside the city, and many people stopped. turned around and looked, this look could frighten many of the soldiers and horses of the court who looked at it to the point of blue faces and white lips. I saw that four waves of soldiers and horses wearing yellow scarves came from the east, west, north and south to kill together.
"Bastard! Where did this army of thieves come from!! Fast!!! The order goes down, and Mingjin withdraws the troops!! ”
Lu Zhi's eyes widened, and he let out a big breath of hot breath, the urgency of the moment was no longer enough for him to think about it, if he didn't collect his troops immediately, when the thieves from all directions attacked, and the thieves defending the city attacked back and forth, he was afraid that all his soldiers and horses would end up with a tragic end of annihilation!
Lu Zhi decisively withdrew his troops, and soon the horn of Mingjin to withdraw his troops sounded. The three brothers Guan Wen and Xu on the east wall were shocked when they saw a thief army of seven or eight thousand people rushing towards them in the rear, and at this time, the horn of collecting troops sounded, Wen Han did not dare to hesitate for half a minute, and immediately commanded the soldiers and horses to retreat.
Fortunately, the thief officer on the east wall had not yet reacted at this time, and did not give an order to block the retreat of Wen Han's court soldiers and horses. Guan Wenxu quickly descended to the city wall, led the army and rushed to kill the thief army, the two teams of soldiers and horses collided together, and the swords and guns flew in all directions.
"Second brother, fourth brother don't have to entangle with it too much. Fight your way out and run away! Otherwise, when the thieves on the city wall react, it will be troublesome to flank the front and back! ”
Wen Han shouted loudly, and at the same time did not hope to stabilize the morale of the army, but fortunately, Wen Han and the others thought through it, only lost some soldiers and successfully escaped. At this time, the commander of the thief army on the east wall woke up like a dream, knowing that this was a reinforcement from his own army, and hurriedly commanded his soldiers and horses to chase after him. It's just that when they just arrived at the city, Wen Hanjun had already fled.
The commander of the thief army on the east wall was so angry that he flicked his helmet and regretted it.
Lu Zhi's withdrawal army was the first to avoid the onrushing thief army and escaped without loss, and then Wen Han also escaped after losing some soldiers and horses.
As for the other two parties, they didn't have such good luck, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei on the west wall were too deep to retreat, Pan Feng was afraid that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei would lose, so he refused to lead the army to withdraw, and rushed into the crowd of the enemy army to respond. When he received Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, at this time, the commander of the western wall had already reacted and knew that there were reinforcements from outside the city, so he hurriedly led the army to entangle Liu Pan and Zhang and the others, intending to leave the lives of these three brothers here.
Adjutant Lu Zhi on the south wall couldn't react for a while, and was entangled by the thief army on the south wall, seeing that the wave of thieves outside the city was about to rush in. Frightened Adjutant Lu Zhi, he couldn't help shouting in his heart that my life would be suspended.
"Gong Lu! Extraordinary! Don't panic, someone Cao is here! ”
Just when Lu Zhi and Wen Han's two teams of soldiers and horses were gathered in one place, Lu Zhi and Wen Han's anxious eyes intersected, and they looked at each other for a long time, not knowing what to mean.
Suddenly, a voice that Wen Han was extremely familiar with came from a distance.
"Mengde? It's Mengde! ”
Wen Han's face was overjoyed, and he turned his head to look, and sure enough, there was an elite army of about 5,000 people in the rear, and the leader was none other than his close friend Cao Cao, Cao Mengde!
At this time, Wen Han didn't bother to ask why Cao Cao came here suddenly, he waited anxiously for Cao Cao to lead the army over, and as soon as Cao Cao arrived, Wen Han spoke first.
