Chapter 232: Ginger is old and spicy
Huang Zhong was also anxious that if Gan Ning captured Nanchang first, his own merits would be much worse. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info rested in Ai County for three days, and after receiving Liu Yong's order, he immediately sent troops, Guan Ping led 5,000 men and horses to attack Yifeng, Zhou Cang led 5,000 men and horses to attack Jianchang, and he led the remaining men and horses and Han Hao to escort Cheng Pu directly to Nanchang.
With the flag waving and the morale high, Huang Zhong and the four of them led the team to leave separately and went straight to the goal.
Ganning camp outside Nanchang City, hearing that Huang Zhong had captured Ai County, captured Cheng Pu alive, and was rushing to Nanchang, Gan Ning was immediately full of anger. At the beginning, Xiang took advantage of Huang Zhong's future to conquer Nanchang, but he didn't expect to lose the army, and he was also skilled.
Fortunately, he and Pan Zhang's injuries were not too serious, and now Lou Gui came with Zhang Hu and Cai He to lead 20,000 horses, and his strength increased greatly, and he immediately ordered the siege of the city without waiting for Huang Zhong to arrive.
Lou Gui hurriedly persuaded: "Xingba can't be rash. Tai Shi Ci is indeed brave, there must be a lot of hard fighting and losing soldiers, the lord has not punished this time, but it does not mean that next time it will be so magnanimous, although Jingzhou has some strength, but compared to Cao Cao, the gap is still not small, and now it is fighting on three sides, and it can't afford to lose! The lord is so wise and martial, let go of the world, is Xingba afraid that there will be no chance to make contributions? ”
Gan Ning thought about it, but the credit had to be shared with others, and he felt really uncomfortable. The thoughts of his own ranger's many years of happiness and revenge have not been completely worn out with time, but at this moment, he can only temporarily put aside his personal thoughts, focus on the overall situation, and wait for Huang Zhong to arrive. If he really dislikes Liu Yong, if he wants to find such a lord who values him so much, I am afraid that it will be hopeless in this life.
Huang Zhong was not slow, and arrived with a large army three days later, and for Guan Ping and Zhou Cang, the capture of the two small counties that were not heavily guarded was also captured, and they arrived one after another the day after Huang Zhong arrived.
Now the two armies are combined into one army, 20,000 under Gan Ning, 20,000 under Lou Gui, Zhang Hu and Cai He, and 40,000 under Huang Zhong, there are 80,000, which is extremely powerful, and it is completely possible to annihilate Nanchang and immediately discuss the siege.
Tai Shi Ci and Wu Jing found out about Huang Zhong's arrival in the city, and expected that Cheng Pu must have been defeated, and now when they saw the Jingzhou army surrounded by the city densely outside the city, they sighed in their hearts that it was really untimely. After the defenders of the city defeated Gan Ning and held the city, they were still a little complacent, but now when they see this formation, they are about to regret their bowels, regretting that they came here to join the army, and their morale is extremely low.
Although Tai Shici and Wu Jing tried their best to boost morale, they really had little effect under the oppression of such a powerful enemy army. The 9,000 surviving soldiers under Tai Shi Ci were still better, and the original county soldiers in the city were almost completely desperate, if they were not suppressed, it would have been possible to open the door directly and sacrifice the city.
Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Lou Gui and others were naturally happy when they saw the defenders of the city trembling and demoralizing outside the city. Immediately wave the army and attack the city.
Nanchang City is built by the mountains and rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but at this moment the defenders in the city have no fighting spirit, and the hands holding the weapons are also weak, many people are frightened by the earth-shattering killing sound and their legs and feet are weak, and the previous defense of the city is completely different.
Tai Shici sighed and said to Wu Jing: "Do your best to defend the city, and use a dead horse as a live horse doctor!" With that, he left and hurried to attack the most violent north gate, where it was the men and horses commanded by Pan Zhang.
The situation was already critical, and it would not be long before the city was about to be attacked again. Tai Shi Cilai's face was cold, he handed over the spear to his own soldiers, and immediately took the sunset bow in his hand with his backhand, and shot dozens of arrows in a row, almost every arrow had to kill a siege sergeant, the city was shocked, and the offensive suddenly slowed down, and the defenders had a glimmer of hope.
"I'm throwing them down!" Tai Shi Ci put down the sunset bow and cheered loudly.
He wanted to say something more, but a sergeant hurriedly came: "General Taishi, it's not good, Ximen is in danger, please go to help!" ”
The west gate is the direction of Gan Ning's attack last time, the city gate was seriously damaged, although Wu Jing sent additional people to repair it, but the time was too short, it was still not completely repaired, and it was the easiest to be breached.
Tai Shi Ci secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly rode to the west gate.
The West Gate is Guan Ping's main attack, Guan Ping is the main general of the battle in Ma Daoling, the morale of his subordinates is the highest, and the West Gate is naturally more powerful when it encounters serious damage, and it is not waiting for Tai Shi Ci to arrive, it has already broken through the city gate, Jingzhou soldiers swarmed in, and the defenders in the city scattered and fled.
When Tai Shi Ci arrived, he was confronted by Lu Li, who was leading a group of brute soldiers forward to pursue the defenders.
"The enemy generals are going to be rampant, and Donglai Tai Shi Ci is here!" Tai Shi Ci shouted loudly and immediately swung his gun to kill. When the fleeing defenders saw Tai Shici, they seemed to see hope, and they also gathered one after another, followed him, and fought with the Jingzhou soldiers and horses.
When Lu Li saw Tai Shi Ci's shot, he knew that he was not a vulgar person, but he was more confident in himself, and he swung the iron thistle to fight Tai Shi Ci hard. Tai Shi Ci felt a huge force in his hand, and immediately knew that this person's arm strength was amazing, and the situation was critical at this time, so he didn't fight, he shook a shot, quietly reached out and took out a halberd from his waist, and quickly aimed at Lu Li and threw it away.
Where did Lu Li think of this sneak attack, he couldn't react, and was immediately pierced through the heart by the halberd and fell to his death. The defenders who were still fleeing just now were immediately overjoyed and rushed forward with Tai Shici to kill.
Guan Ping saw that Lu Li was killed in the back, and immediately waved his gun and stepped forward, directly taking Tai Shi Ci: "Tai Shi Ci, take your life!" ”
The two immediately killed together, Tai Shici was strong, but Guan Ping was not weak, although he fell behind, he could barely support it. Due to the breakthrough of the west gate, Huang Zhong immediately led the army into the city from behind, just entered the city gate and saw Guan Ping fighting with an enemy general, it seemed that he was still a little defeated, and immediately came to help, people on the horse, he hung the spear on the horse, took the bow and arrow in his backhand, and aimed at Tai Shi Ci is an arrow.
Tai Shi Ci did not fight Guan Ping wholeheartedly, he noticed it the moment Huang Zhong appeared, and when he saw Huang Zhong shooting an arrow, he hurriedly forced Guan Ping back with a shot, waved his gun to Diao Ling, and picked off the arrow.
"It's Huang Zhong? What kind of hero is a hero who casts a cold arrow? Tai Shi Ci said coldly.
Huang Zhong was not to be outdone: "The battlefield is not a school competition, how can there be so many rules, as long as you can defeat the enemy, you can do everything, what's so strange." ”
"Come and don't be rude, do you think you'll be able to shoot arrows?" Tai Shici was very unhappy with Huang Zhong putting arrows in front of him, so he immediately hung up his gun on the side of the horse, took the sunset bow in his hand, and quickly shot three arrows in one go. These three arrows are also very famous, known as star-chasing arrows, one arrow is stronger than one arrow, and the last arrow is the strongest, and only those with extremely high archery talent can comprehend it.
Huang Zhong was shocked in his heart, he had long heard that Tai Shi Ci's archery skills were unparalleled, and he was really strong, but he still said: "What a small skill of carving insects!" Look at this five-star alignment! "The hand is not slow, from the quiver buckled five arrows, immediately shot, one arrow after the other, but unlike the star-chasing arrows, each of these five arrows is the same strength, but it is very close to it, it is difficult to stop.
Five arrows flew through the air, just to meet Tai Shi Ci's three arrows, each of which collided with the opponent's arrow in the air, shattered and fell, after their three arrows collided and shattered, Huang Zhong's last two arrows still flew towards Tai Shi Ci.
Tai Shici, naturally knowing the power of the five-star alignment, hurriedly pulled out five or six impenetrable swords, and finally cut off the two arrows. But something he didn't expect happened, when he had just cut down two arrows and dissolved the five-star alignment, when his hand had just relaxed a little, an arrow suddenly appeared in front of him, but it was a little late to block, so he could only dodge with all his might.
Tai Shi Ci dodged the arrow and shot through his heart, but was pierced into his right chest, directly through his lungs, and out of his back. It turned out that Huang Zhong didn't want to use the five-star beads to make a contribution, the five-star beads won in a large number, and at the same time, the opponent had to block the star-chasing arrows, and Huang Zhong shot a fatal arrow in this gap, hitting a time difference, even if Shi Ci was too good at martial arts, his archery skills were also seriously injured all of a sudden.
The defenders in the city, who had just had a trace of courage because of Tai Shici's arrival, were hit again as if they had fallen into an abyss, completely desperate, and could only raise their hands to surrender in the face of Huang Zhong and Guan Ping, who were so powerful in archery.
