Chapter 223: Hanzhong
With a piercing sound of drums, countless heavy-armored soldiers of the Cao family swarmed up from the steps of the city wall, holding long soldiers and wearing heavy armor, making it difficult for the lightly armed Ganning troops to parry, and soon, Ganning's troops were compressed to one end of the city wall.
Hua Wenxuan and Zhuge Liang were surprised in front of the battle, and the gate of Yingchuan suddenly opened, and everyone was shocked by the Cao family's elite horsemen.
In the small city of Yingchuan, why are there so many soldiers of the Cao family? It looked like a hunter who had been waiting for a long time, staring at Hua Wenxuan's side.
Zhuge Liang frowned, and shouted softly: "Lord! The momentum is not right! It's better to withdraw early! ”
Where is Hua Wenxuan willing, not to mention that this can only prove that his arbitrariness is a bad move, Gan Ning and Liao Hua are still on the city wall at the moment, if the army is withdrawn now, won't the two of them definitely die? !
Regardless of dissuasion, Hua Wenxuan took out the iron whip on his waist, pulled up the reins with the whip in one hand and the other, and shouted at Zhao Yun: "Kill me with me!" Save Gan Ning and Liao Hua! ”
Zhao Yun saw the crisis of the situation, and did not answer, he whipped the horse under the crotch, and led the white horse to rush straight over, Zhuge Liang couldn't stop it, Hua Wenxuan and Zhao Yun had each led an army straight to the east gate of Yingchuan, so he had to call Wei Yan and said: "Quickly go to the direction of Xuanyuan Mountain to follow the mountain and go down, protect the water source, and seal the road!" Baggage trucks and horses are all waiting in the village! ”
Wei Yan received the order and led his subordinates straight to Xuanyuan Mountain in the south.
Hua Wenxuan and Zhao Yun rushed to the forefront, jumped over the antlers and thorns, the fire oil on the ground had already burned out, and the rain of arrows on the city gate was whistling, Hua Wenxuan was dancing with an iron whip to block the incoming arrows, and at the same time he drew out the crossbow on his waist and shot towards the Cao Jiajing cavalry in front of the city gate.
The Cao family's horse team has been assembled, and the two military flags of Douda have been erected from the formation, but they are the banners of Cao Chun and Xiahou Shang.
Hua Wenxuan's heart twitched, these two people are the commanders of the Cao family's tiger and leopard ride, why are the tiger and leopard riding in Yingchuan?
The situation does not allow Hua Wenxuan to think too much, the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Cao family has been completed, lined up in a wedge formation, and rushed over, the tiger and leopard rode to the white horse Yicong, but the hedge was taken advantage, but Hua Wenxuan had already equipped the white horse Yicong with a crossbow, and the two armies hedged less than a stone's throw away, Zhao Yunyin raised the gun, and the riders in the front took out the crossbow from the side of the saddle, pulled the trigger, and the arrows shot at the unsuspecting Cao family tiger and leopard riding like locusts.
However, when the tiger and leopard rode in front of him, the power of the heavy armor began to come to the fore. Under the bonus of speed, the long soldiers on both sides have accumulated an unstoppable impact, once they hit the target, it must be a fatal penetrating wound, but the heavy armor of the Cao family still made Bai Ma Yicong's spear deflect a lot, after a moment of hedging, a group of people in front of the formation turned over on their backs, and the two armies and horse teams fought together, after losing the advantage of speed, Bai Ma Yicong was helpless in the face of the heavy armor of the tiger and leopard riding, and could only rely on the crossbow in his hand to wrestle with it, such as Zhao Yun, and exert force on the horse, The spear in his hand may not be able to penetrate the heavy armor of the tiger and leopard rider.
Hua Wenxuan still relied on the magic of the arts, rushing to kill, the heavy armor became a good medium for him to use electricity, he fortunately put away the iron whip, waved his hands, the electricity surged along his hands wantonly, cutting through the air, eroding to the surrounding tigers and leopards, even the people and horses fell to the ground together, and were trampled into minced meat in the chaotic battle of iron hooves.
Gan Ning and Liao Hua on the city gate tower have been forced to a dead end at this time, and the Cao family's heavy armor soldiers who are pressing step by step have wiped out more than half of the city-climbing troops, and the impact of Hua Wenxuan and Zhao Yun has made Gan Ning and others see the hope of life, and there are soldiers in the back row who will escape from the city wall along the ladder, or flee to the main formation, or run to the place where the horse team fights.
Gan Ning and Liao Hua converged in one place, standing side by side in the forefront, facing the Cao family generals, the heavy armor was in front, the bow and crossbow were in the back, step by step, Gan Ning and others slowly retreated, a Cao soldier was a little anxious, looking for a gap and suddenly came forward, Gan Ning raised his shield to block his head knife, the long knife in his hand stabbed straight through the flank, and there was a pause in his hand, presumably it was stabbed to the heavy armor, deflected, but the heavy armor always had a gap, at that moment Gan Ning left and right force, and found a seam along the concave and convex edge above the heavy armor, Suddenly inserted the knife into it, a burst of resistance, but it was a helpless flesh and blood touch, that Cao Bing's face showed pain, and his whole body trembled, Gan Ning lifted it upwards again, the Cao Bing's mouth in front of him opened suddenly, and streams of blood gushed out, Gan Ning flew up with a kick, kicked this mortal man aside, and continued to stare at the Cao family soldiers in front of him.
The soldiers in the front row no longer moved forward, a trace of hesitation flashed in their eyes, Gan Ning sneered, and said softly: "Liao Hua! Evacuate first with people, go as much as you can! ”
Liao Hua hesitated, turned his head and led people down the ladder to retreat under the city wall, Gan Ning stared at a few Cao family soldiers in front of him, the long knife in his hand was firmly held in his hand, at this time, from the back of Cao Bing, a huge figure slowly squeezed to the front, that person was wearing heavy armor, holding a hammer, and a pair of fierce eyes stared at Gan Ning.
A cold sweat slowly slipped down Gan Ning's forehead, "It turned out to be General Xu?" I haven't seen you for a long time, but are you okay? ”
Xu Chu looked at Gan Ning coldly, his expressionless appearance made people even more timid, the hammer in his hand was slowly raised, and Gan Ning couldn't help but hold the iron shield and long knife in his hand tightly.
In the melee in front of the city gate, there was no Cao soldier around Hua Wenxuan, but Zhao Yun's white horse Yicong also lost a lot, Cao Chun and Xiahou Shang knew that they could not restrain Hua Wenxuan, but they just ordered people to control Hua Wenxuan's actions with arrows from afar, and concentrated their forces on encircling and annihilating Zhao Yun's servants.
Hua Wenxuan frowned tightly, and was riding his horse to save Zhao Yun, but there was an exclamation from the city wall, Hua Wenxuan looked up, and saw that Xu Zhuzheng and Gan Ning were fighting together in the cracks of the battlements, Hua Wenxuan's heart sank, can Gan Ning go over Xu Chu alone?
The iron shield in Gan Ning's hand was knocked away by Xu Chu's blow, and the numbness from his left hand made him feel a trace of panic, Xu Chu's strength was afraid that no one could stop him, if in normal times, he could still toss and turn to find an opportunity, but on this city wall, there are only two ways to advance and retreat.
Xu Chu raised the hammer in his hand again, and walked towards Gan Ning step by step, Gan Ning suddenly flashed forward, raised the knife and slashed at Xu Chu's waist and abdomen, but could only leave scratches on his heavy armor, Xu Chu sneered, leaned forward and slammed forward, Gan Ning was caught off guard, was knocked back many steps, and fell into the arms of the soldiers behind him.
Xu Chu raised the hammer high and slammed it down towards Gan Ning, Gan Ning held the knife in his right hand, held the blade with his left hand, and received a blow hard, the long knife broke instantly, and the tiger's mouth of both hands was shattered, bursting out of Xu Du's blood.
Xu Chu raised the hammer again, looked at Gan Ning who collapsed to the ground expressionlessly, and waved his hand down!
