Chapter 539: Different from the past
Ten thousand people stood at the head of Jinyang City, the heroic voice echoed in the skylight, Gao Gan ran back and forth with his own soldiers, waving his sword: "Don't be fooled, that person is not Lu Bu, you and the others immediately return to their positions to defend against the attack of the Xiliang armyββ"
Amid the screams and screams, no one paid any attention to him on the silent wall.
Lu Bu moved from Jiuyuan County to Bingzhou with his father, and then took over his father's position as the general of Ding Yuan's department for a long time, the other party is brave and good at fighting, and his great reputation on the grassland has almost penetrated into the hearts of everyone in the entire Bingzhou army, especially the low-level soldiers and generals, who are most respected, after all, that flying general is not only unparalleled in martial arts, but also a border military position, which has been passed down from generation to generation, which makes them feel more cordial.
However, after the first battle of Xuzhou, most of the people thought that they had been defeated and died, many people felt pity, and later Yuan Shao took over the state, sent senior cadres to lead the assassin history, various government decrees changed, personnel transfers, so that the middle and low-level generals were a little worried, although there were also people who secretly wanted to mutiny and expel the senior cadres, but after all, they did not have the courage to really do it.
Now standing under the city, the people who should have died a long time ago have come back alive, and some emotions that were once pressed in their hearts were not said on the surface, but there was restlessness in their hearts after all.
When Lu Bu shouted those words, among the ten thousand people in the city, some of them quietly looked at the brothers on the other side of the city tower, and some put down their hands and pressed them on the hilt of their knives, gradually expecting something to happen, and there was a dead silence.
"Brother......
Gao Rou saw that the surrounding soldiers had no intention of moving, and hurriedly held on to the wall and approached his brother, always uneasy in his heart, although the arrival of Lu Bu would not make all the soldiers mutiny, but it was a huge hidden danger for an army.
"Brother ....., while the Xiliang army has not yet besieged the city, leave quickly, and it is better to go to Jizhou to join Yuan Shang than to stay here."
"Get out of the wayβ"
Gao Gan pushed his brother aside, pressed the hilt of his sword and glared at the other party angrily, then looked at the horseback figure outside the city, and shouted: "Whether you are Lu Bu or not, as long as you retreat, I will not embarrass you-" He secretly beckoned behind him, and asked his own soldiers to hand over the bow and arrow.
Then the arrow snapped the string and slowly lifted up behind the wall, and the next second, the bowstring shook with a bang.
"Hahahaha-"
The laughter came from under the city, a mighty figure with a beast face swallowing his head and a chain of armor, pinching the reins, holding a halberd in one hand, urging the horse to wander, looking indifferently at the high cadres behind the battlements, the black shadow flew quickly, Lu Bu suddenly raised his hand to grasp it in the air, and the arrow stopped at a foot distance from his forehead, and then only heard a 'snap', the arrow shaft was broken and fell to the ground, when the wind blew in the field, the hundred flower robe hunted and flew and caressed, there was really an illusion that someone shook a city.
The tip of the halberd slowly raised and pointed directly at the other party, and shouted: "A certain family, what will you do if you don't retreat?" β
In the rear, the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry came out of the army formation, and spread out on the field, 30,000 Xiliang troops with shields and spears and cloud ladders began to take steps towards the city wall, and the footsteps of tens of thousands of people sounded dullly on the ground, and the Xiliang generals under the command waved their weapons, rode horses and ran in front of the army, shouting: "Prepare to attack the cityββ"
Boom!
Boom!
β¦β¦
In the dense military formation, the soldiers of Xiliang brandished their swords and struck the shields, and thousands of sounds gathered together, making people feel the metal rust of the soldiers, and several carts with thick shields were pushed by the soldiers, and the heavy hammers that rushed into the city gate showed a hideous appearance in the middle.
The sound of slapping the shield in unison was like a slap on the hearts of the people, and the soldiers at the head of Jinyang City reacted at this time, between action and non-action, there was a hesitation, and at this time, under the city wall, Lu Bu stopped in the distance: "You and I, Lu Bu, are both from Bingzhou, have a family and a room, how can we kill each other with the same root, after the city is broken, I will not be embarrassed by you." β
After saying this, he turned around and returned to the cavalry team in the rear, and the next moment, the ground roared, and the long dragons of the iron cavalry extended along the city wall, forming a closed circle. The dazzling sunlight shone on the city, and the whole face of the senior cadre turned pale, and in the afterglow, the soldiers around the city wall also looked at him at the same time, and several generals looked at each other, talking to each other, and the strange atmosphere began to spread in the city.
"What else to see, meet the enemy-"
Gao Gan's face was blue after all, and when the soldiers around him blew the horn to meet the enemy, Gao Rou grabbed his arm and dragged him to the inner wall, and shouted in a low voice: "Brother can't fight, the soldiers have no will to fight, let's go, let's go." β
"Where else can I go, it's a dead end if I don't fight!" Gao Gan yelled at him, "When did my brother become such a coward, get out-"
In the midst of the drag and entanglement, a voice suddenly sounded from the soldiers on the city wall: "Can't let Gao Gan go!" This sentence was like a stone falling into the calm water, followed by a voice echoing in the crowd: "Can't let him go, Wen Hou is from our state, if you don't help him, can you help this Jizhou person?" β
"When Wen Hou comes back, he should give a thin gift......
"Gao Gan and Gao Rou only have a thousand guards, kill them, and receive the reward-"
One voice after another sounded, and the soldiers who were still a little hesitant put down their bows and arrows facing outward, and followed their surging shouting comrades to quickly lean towards the side of the city tower, aiming at the high-ranking soldiers who were gathered in a circle. At this time, there were also generals from Jizhou who came up with people to block, but when they saw more and more soldiers rushing towards this side, they had to stop, not daring to go forward again, of course, there were also generals who were not afraid to lead people up, and after a while, they were held by the soldiers behind them, and the blade was pressed on the neck and became a prisoner.
On the other side, Gao Gan kept retreating with a thousand guards, and shouted at the soldiers who surrounded him: "You are rebelling, don't forget that your family is still in the city-"
"That's why I'm going to kill you!"
"Kill!"
I don't know who shouted suddenly, and the queue of soldiers rushed up, weapons and weapons clashed together, the scene became chaotic in an instant, the crowd was crowded and pushed, the blades kept chopping down people's heads, and Gao Rou, who was drenched in blood, shouted to his brother who was squeezed out a few steps: "Help me-"
On the side, someone broke through the front line, stepped over the two corpses, and pounced on the shouting figure, Gao Rou turned his head to look, and what caught his eye was a blade, the flesh and blood tore sound, and it was split on his neck, and when the blood splashed into the sky, the soldier took his head and raised it excitedly: "Gao Rou was killed by meββ"
"My brother......"
Countless figures in the line of sight chaotically ran through the staggered gaps, watching the headless corpse fall straight down, Gao Gan's lips trembled slightly, and he was dragged to the back wall ladder by the generals around him: "Thorn Shi comes with me, come with me." β
Only halfway down the stone steps, a column of figures came up from the city gate, and before the guards who were guarding Gao Gan's side could speak, they were killed by a few arrows and rolled down the stone steps. The man on the opposite side was tall, with a short beard on his chin, about twenty or so, and his steps were steady.
The body of the arrow rolled down at his feet, handed the bow in his hand to the soldier next to him, drew his sword and walked towards Gao Gan, and there was a pounce on the other side, all of which were cut down by him with a sword, and he never said a word from beginning to end.
"Hao Zhao, you dare-" Gao Gan's figure stumbled back, and in the previous chaos, there were also several wounds on his body that were bleeding from accidental injuries, and he looked quite embarrassed at this time holding an iron sword. However, the general who came over did not hesitate, and with a sword slashed off the arms of the soldiers who rushed from the side, and finally a voice came from under the iron helmet.
"Why don't Hao!"
When the stiff and cold voice sounded, the step of stepping on a stone step again suddenly exerted force, and the tall body rushed directly forward, and the sword blade was raised high and slammed down.
Phew-
In an instant, Gao Gankan's raised arm hung down, the iron sword slipped from his hand and slid down the stone steps, his eyes widened, and a blood streak was pulled from his chin to his right shoulder, and then, with a click, a trace of flesh fell on his chest with a trace of flesh on his chin, and he fell down on his back, and his shoulder armor was cut in half.
"Gao Gan is dead, let the people above stop killing..... then open the city gate and welcome Wen Hou into the city." Hao Zhao mentioned the human head that was still dripping blood, and whispered to the soldiers who came with him: "Don't worry, Wen Hou is from Bingzhou, and he will not be untrustworthy." β
The sun rose to the highest sky, and the sound of fighting and boiling on the city wall gradually became quieter, and many people put down their weapons and walked down the city. And on the field, a general dressed in golden lock chain armor stood in front of the military formation on horseback, looking at the city gate of Jinyang in the distance in the sun, and slowly opened.
"Fighting is brave, but fewer dead people are good after all." Lu Bu turned back to Xu Rong and said with a smile: "This way to win a fortified city is more successful than before..... follow me into the city." β
Xu Rong looked at Lu Bu, who had changed greatly, and was stunned, but still gave his hand: "Wen Hou, please." β
In the afternoon, the army entered the city.
β¦β¦.
Upper Valley County.
Scattered bamboo slips were scattered all over the ground, Xu You covered his bleeding forehead, and sat on the ground in embarrassment, Gongsun Zhi stood there, looking at the two of them, his eyes gradually became indifferent.
