Early the next morning, Guan Yu ordered the siege of the city, and the siege soldiers drove their boats through the city gate that had been washed out, entered the city one after another, and launched a fierce charge. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the city, Wen Ping had already ordered someone to cast a overnight, this embankment was not high, but it was less than a few feet above the water, and it was not wide, it could only accommodate hundreds of people, but this embankment made Guan Yu's fleet impassable, in order to be able to attack the city, he must first occupy this embankment, and then destroy it, but the other party held on to it, and if you want to capture it, you must pay the price.

However, Guan Yu didn't care about this, he was full of elite soldiers, and even a city of thousands of people could be easily breached, so how could he care about a dam guarded by hundreds of people?

Therefore, without Deng Guan Yu's orders, his righteous son Guan Ping led the army to launch a fierce attack on the embankment.

"Shoot the arrows!" With Guan Ping's order, the soldiers stood at the bow of the ship and fired thousands of arrows in the direction of the embankment.

"Puff puff ......"

"Ahhh......h

Although the defenders on the embankment were determined to defend to the death, after all, there were few people, and dozens of people were killed in an instant under this round of arrow rain.

However, then I saw that someone immediately came up to supplement it, still guarding the embankment, and struggling to shoot back at the attacking enemy soldiers, and then many people were shot into hedgehogs by the siege soldiers, and then some people resolutely climbed the embankment and garrisoned it......

"Damn, the thieves are inexhaustible, and if it goes on like this, I really don't know how long it will take to capture Xiangyang?" Guan Ping gritted his teeth, cursed secretly, and finally couldn't help it, and ordered the soldiers to rush up and seize the embankment at all costs.

Then the soldiers under his command began to struggle forward, rushed to the embankment, and fought to the death with the Jingzhou soldiers stationed at the embankment.

However, what made Guan Ping feel incomprehensible was that there was such a big gap in the number of those enemy soldiers, but no one escaped, but as if they had a common enmity with them, they started a desperate fight with them, what was this for?

Of course, Guan Ping didn't know that this was because of the loyalty of Kuai Yue and Wen Ping, and even more because Wen Ping's shouting moved the soldiers in the city, and their firm determination made the soldiers greatly infected and willing to live and die with the city.

The content of Wen Ping's shouts is different from that of other generals, who generally only propose to abide by military discipline and not to escape, and at most add the content of meritorious service awards, but Wen Ping requires the soldiers not to take a step back and fight to the death against these invaders, because behind them is their homeland, where they have their parents, wives and children, and these people are eager for them to be able to block the enemy army and protect their families from violation.

"Since the enemy army is so frenzied and flooded my Xiangyang City, then once the city is broken, I am afraid that our parents, wives and children will be slaughtered by them, and it is probably lucky to be able to humbly save a life, so in order to protect our parents, wives and children, we can only do our best to protect Xiangyang City, as long as we hold on for two more days at most, reinforcements will come!"

Wen Ping's words were mainly learned from Liu He, but he also had to admit that this kind of words were indeed shocking to the inciting power of the soldiers, and they were several times or even ten times stronger than the effect of bounties and silver.

It was precisely because of this that they were so tenacious in this battle that they were able to keep the enemy out of the embankment for nearly two hours.

However, after all, there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, and the two hours of holding on have already cost the defenders nearly 2,000 casualties, although the enemy has suffered more serious injuries, but the current defenders have almost no strength to compete with Guan Yu's army.

In fact, the strength of the defenders was not small, only the soldiers in Xiangyang City could reach 30,000 people, but after the previous siege and the impact of the water, now there are only more than 10,000 soldiers in the city, and because Guan Yu led the army outside the city to prepare to take advantage of the situation, Wen Ping also had to order Wang Wei to divide his troops to guard the dangerous passes of the city walls, plus some soldiers were sent to rescue the people, so in fact, there were only more than 2,000 soldiers stationed near the embankment, after two hours of fierce fighting, Now the more than 2,000 people are almost completely lost, and only more than 100 soldiers of the pro-military battalion are left.

And what they were facing was six or seven thousand people from the Ping Division.

However, the soldiers under Wen Ping's command did not have the slightest fear, and under the personal leadership of Wen Ping, they took out their weapons and shouted loudly in unison: "Kill, kill, kill!" Swear to live and die with Xiangyang! ”

"Hmph, I don't know if I'm alive or dead!" Guan Yu, who was outside the city, heard the shouting and knew that the resistance in the city was very weak, so he ordered the soldiers to immediately launch a full-scale attack, and the drums were beating for a while. The sound of killing shook the sky, and Xiangyang City was in danger, and it could be broken with a single hand.

However, at this moment, the rumbling of horses' hooves could be heard behind the formation, accompanied by the sound of horses treading water.

"Huh? Could it be that reinforcements are coming? Guan Yu looked at the voice, but saw that there was a team behind him, this team was neat, even the pace of the horses was almost the same, and there was a big "Xu" character embroidered on the enemy's big man, and there were small words "Yongzhou Thorn Shi Xu" and "Han Annan General Xu" next to it.

Then Guan Yu saw a horse galloping from the Chinese army, and his heart suddenly became hot, and he shouted loudly: "Could it be that Xu Gong of Hedong is here?" ”

"Exactly, Brother Yun Changxian, I haven't seen you for more than twenty years, and your demeanor is still the same as it was back then."

Xu Huang and Guan Yu are both from Hedong County, Xu Huang is from Yang County, and Guan Yu is from Xie County, more than 20 years ago, the two had known each other when they were teenagers, and the relationship between them was quite good, and later, Xu Huang defected to the Yellow Turban Army, but Guan Yu wandered around because he killed people, and finally arrived in Zhuo County and followed Liu Bei.

Then Xu Huang came not far away, and talked to Guan Yu about his heartfelt feelings, talking about the encounters of so many years, and he was embarrassed.

However, at this moment, I saw Xu Huang suddenly shouting loudly: "Those who have the head of Guan Yu will be rewarded with a thousand gold!" ”

Then he swung out the big axe and slashed towards Guan Yu.

Guan Yu was shocked when he saw this, and while hurriedly dodging, he asked, "Brother, what are you doing?" ”

I saw Xu Huang say: "Before, we only talked about private matters in life, but now I want to kill you, but each is his master, I have long heard that Guan Yunchang's martial arts are extraordinary, and he has the courage of ten thousand people, and today I just want to learn your martial arts." After finishing speaking, the big axe in Xu Huang's hand followed one axe after another, and killed Guan Yu in the past, and he would not be merciful.

At this time, the soldiers under Xu Huang's command also launched actions one after another, fighting hard against the enemy.

Guan Yu's soldiers fought for several days, and because they didn't get a rest last night, they were already exhausted, and although Xu Huang's soldiers traveled a long way, their combat strength and morale were undiminished because of Xu Huang's unique skills, so as soon as they came up, Guan Yu's soldiers were at an absolute disadvantage and were slaughtered by the other party.

"Wasn't this Xu Huang injured before? Why did you recover so well in such a short period of time? What's even more incredible is that the soldiers under his command have obviously gone through a long-distance attack, but why is the formation so strict and the combat power so strong? Could it be that this Xu Huang has been ambushed here a long time ago? It seems that I fell for Liu He's tricks, but it's a pity that I don't have many people under my command, otherwise I must teach that kid a good lesson, but for now, it seems that the only way to retreat is to retreat. ”

Seeing this, Guan Yu knew that there was nothing to do, so he sighed and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
