Originally, Cao Zhang saw that the sergeants under his command who rushed to the front seemed to be a little slow and a little worried because they had already experienced a long journey, but the sergeants defending the city were even more sluggish, and it was not long before the Wei army killed the city, and according to this situation, it would not take an hour for the Wei army to break through the gate of Wancheng.

But Cao Zhang's mood has just improved, as the people in the city gradually get better, those Wei troops who climbed the head of Wancheng City were quickly solved by the defenders, and since then, it has become very difficult for the Wei army to quickly climb the defenders' city walls.

Half an hour, in the frantic attack of the Wei army, the city of Deng Ai's armor has been stained with a lot of blood, and those people, how can he not have seen blood before, but this time, he knows that he must always rush to the front, once the enemy appears near him, Deng Ai has to grit his teeth with the steel knife in his hand to solve the enemy who rushed up, in this half an hour, the Wei army that died in the hands of Deng Ai has nearly ten people, and such experience, also made Deng Ai, who was still young, gradually adapt to the cruelty of war.

Originally, according to Cao Zhang's deployment, the 20,000 tiger and leopard cavalry did not participate in this tragic siege battle, the reason for this is that the dead tiger and leopard cavalry are the absolute elite of the Wei army, and it is really Cao Zhang's unwillingness to let it consume in such a battle, and another reason is that Cao Zhang wants to make the tiger and leopard cavalry ready, once Wancheng is broken by these Wei troops, then he still has a bigger goal, that is, Xiangyang.

Cao Zhang concluded that the Xiangyang guards at this time must not be as good as Wancheng, and if he broke Wancheng, it was equivalent to getting half of Xiangyang, if he could lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to Xiangyang immediately after Wancheng was broken, he would definitely gain a lot, after all, that was where Liu Feng was called the emperor, and his Manchu Dynasty civil and military and his family were all in Xiangyang......

But the fierce battle of half an hour made Cao Zhang have to reconsider his plan, according to this way, another hour may not be able to break Wancheng, and in that case, if Zhao Yun and Ma Chao rush back, his trip will be in vain, and he will also face the risk of losing his troops.

"The tiger and leopard cavalry belongs, all dismounted, wearing armor and short blades, assisting the infantry to attack Wancheng with all their might!"

Cao Zhang's order completely changed the trend of the battle after a short time, and the original 5,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 people in the city could still build a solid defense line under the command and mobilization of Deng Ai, and there was basically no sign of rout, but with the addition of 20,000 tiger and leopard cavalry, Deng Ai obviously felt that he and these soldiers, the people were afraid that they would not last long.

The Haw Par Cavalry was originally the most elite of the various parts of the Wei army, and every year some wounded soldiers and older sergeants were withdrawn from the Haw Par Cavalry, and then added to the elite selected from other places.

So to this day, the tiger and leopard cavalry is still a very desirable place for the Wei soldiers, and in the same way, they are not only good at fighting on horses, but they are also much stronger than ordinary foot soldiers in siege warfare.

The difference in their own strength, coupled with the fact that the tiger and leopard riders have rested a lot more time than those foot soldiers, makes the role of this new force particularly obvious.

Gradually, more and more Wei troops killed the head of Wancheng, and under the city, the north gate of Wancheng also showed signs of loosening under the constant impact of the Wei army, because of the shortage of troops, only a few defenders and a group of people in the gate resisted the city gate, so the city gate was broken, it was a matter of time or time.

After holding out for an hour, the 5,000 defenders have almost lost as much as 3,000, and the 10,000 people, after Deng Ai persuaded them to return to their mansions quickly, are still desperately resisting the Wei army at the head of the city, and there are already three or four thousand casualties, Deng Ai knows that if he can hold on for another half an hour, it will be a big miracle, because at this time, the scale of the Wei army that climbed to the top of the city is not small, and the tiger and leopard cavalry mixed with it is much stronger than the ordinary Wei army. The armor and weapons are not in vain compared to the defenders of Jingzhou, who are good at ordnance.

"You two hurry to the direction of Shangyong, take the nearest road, if you see General Zilong and General Meng Qi on the way, then inform him of the two of them, don't let them go to Wancheng, be sure to persuade them to rush directly to Xiangyang, Cao Zhang's real purpose is to go directly to Xiangyang, Xiangyang is empty at this time, once he led the 20,000 tigers and leopards to ride directly to the city, the consequences are unimaginable!"

Deng Ai saw that it was already an impossible situation at this time, and his heart was undoubtedly ready to sacrifice, he found the two deputy generals who were also fighting, and said this firmly, obviously, he was ready to do what he promised in front of Liu Feng, and live and die with Wancheng.

When the two lieutenant generals heard this, they all shook their heads, and one of them even widened his eyes and almost roared angrily: "General Shizai is the young general that His Majesty has relied on the most in recent years, if General Shizai has a life in this Wancheng, what is the use of the two of us surviving, the role of the two of us is just to kill the enemy before the battle, but the role of General Shizai is to make immortal feats as His Majesty's generals, so the two of us can't obey the fate, don't say that the Wei army has not yet broken the gate of my Wancheng, even if the city is broken, It was also General Shizai who went to find Zilong and Meng Qi, two generals! ”

Seeing that the two were unmoved, Deng Ai did not escape from Wancheng to find Zhao Yun and Ma Chao by himself as they said, although he knew that Liu Feng was indeed very important to himself in his heart, but since he was a child, his mother's education and Xu Shu's cultivation of him over the years, as well as what he had learned in those military books, told him that in such a time of crisis, as the lord of the city, he must advance and retreat with his own soldiers and people, no matter what the consequences are.

"Now the lord of Wancheng is me, so what I say, you two must obey, if you don't listen, I will kill you two here at this time!"

After saying this, Deng Ai had already put the steel knife in his hand that was still dripping with blood on the neck of the person who spoke just now, coupled with the anger in his eyes that was about to erupt, so that the two of them had reason to believe that if they didn't do what Deng Ai said, they would really be directly solved by the young and vigorous him in this city.

The three of them confronted each other for a while, and finally, the two lieutenants gave in at Deng Ai's insistence, they knew how important it was for Deng Ai to find Zhao Yun and Ma Chao and let them go to Xiangyang quickly, once Xiangyang had a loss, the consequences were really unimaginable, so the two knelt down to Deng Ai at the same time, and bowed several times before going to the south gate of Wancheng with tears in their eyes.
