Chapter 41: Fierce Battle
I have to say that Huyanxiu Tu is indeed very powerful, and he can control an army that has bombed the camp in a very short period of time, and not every commander can do it.
However, even if Huyanxiu Tu controlled the bombing camp for a short time, he still lacked the skills to recover!
It was originally a battle situation between the two sides racing against time, but because of the mutiny of the Hun defenders, it showed a one-sided trend.
The more than 1,000 Xiongnu defenders at the south gate were attacked by Wang Qiao and Ma Chaoli Yingwai, and they did not last long before they collapsed in the surging frenzy of Dong Zhuo's army.
Ma Chao led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses into the city from the south gate under the response of Wang Qiao, and then left 3,000 soldiers to garrison the south gate, and Ma Chao joined forces with Wang Qiao, a total of 12,000 men and horses, and killed the city violently!
Hu Yan Xiutu didn't want to lose two doors in a row in just over half an hour, and the pressure suddenly increased greatly.
In desperation, Huyan Xiutu could only lead the army to meet the enemy and resist Wang Qiao Ma Chao's invincible soldiers head-on.
At the same time, Huyan Xiutu ordered a reliable deputy general to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard the West Gate, Dong Zhuo's army was menacing, and Huyan Xiutu had to prepare in advance.
The West Gate was already the only retreat for the Xiongnu defenders, and once they could not repel Dong Zhuo's army that had entered the city, they could only flee from the West Gate.
Therefore, Ximen, which was originally insignificant to Huyan Xiutu, has become very important at this time!
Under the deep night sky, the four gates in the lonely city are bright.
Suddenly, a few faint points of firelight, from the east gate to the main street in the city, as time passed, the firelight gradually became clear, and then from one to two, from two to four, gradually turned into thousands of bright and bright flames, and finally turned into a long fire snake, writhing and marching in the city, closer, only to find that it was actually an army of thousands.
In the flickering firelight, thousands of Dong Zhuojun soldiers were shouting, wielding cold long and short swords, stepping on the bluestone pavement on the main street, and swept towards the center of Tongguo City like a tide.
Ma Chao took the lead, straddling the brocade horse, carrying a silver gun, and galloping on the central street of Tongguo City with a handsome posture.
A silver spear in his hand was like a poisonous snake that kept swallowing the letter, constantly knocking over the Hun soldiers who were bumping into him one by one.
Shout!
Suddenly, a cold light shot straight towards Ma Chao's door with a sound of breaking through the air!
Ma Chao was furious, hurriedly dodged, the cold arrow grazed Ma Chao's cheek, and the momentum was unabated, shooting straight into the neck of a Dong Zhuojun soldier behind Ma Chao, and the soldier was caught off guard and fell to the ground and died!
Ma Chao's face was slightly cold, and he looked coldly at the figure of the Hun army that was moving a hundred steps away.
Inevitably, Ma Chao and the others collided head-on with the leading troops who rushed to resist the Huyan Xiu Tu of Dong Zhuojun, who entered the city!
Ma Chao's silver spear danced, once again picking and killing a Hun soldier, and then holding the gun with one hand, the silver spear drew a strange arc under the night sky, pointing directly at Huyan Xiu Tu, who bent his bow and arrows again a hundred steps away!
"Kill!"
The cold voice streaked across the night sky, and the killing aura was rampant!
The tens of thousands of Dong Zhuo's troops behind Ma Chao were like thunder, and under the leadership of their respective generals, they slaughtered the Hun army in front of them with great momentum!
Ma Chao carried a gun and went straight to Huyan Xiutu, who was surrounded by many Hun troops.
As in history, Ma Chao is a very grudge-minded master, just now Hu Yanxiu slaughtered people with a dark arrow, if he hadn't reacted quickly, it would not have been the Dong Zhuojun soldier lying on the ground, but he would have been a Jinma Chao!
Rao is like this, Ma Chao's pink cheeks were also cut by cold arrows, leaving a shallow scar, and bright red blood broke out of his body, such a big hatred, how could Ma Chao abandon it?
Scarlet blood flowed down the wound and hung on Ma Chao's pink cheeks, adding a bit of ruggedness, and with Ma Chao's angry expression at this time, it was quite hideous.
Shout! Shout! Shout!
The cold arrow broke through the air again, this time, Huyan Xiutu directly fired three arrows at once, locking Ma Chao's face, neck, and heart respectively, but unfortunately, Ma Chao at this time had just suffered a loss, and his eyes were staring at Huyan Xiutu's every move, how could he let Huyan Xiutu run rampant again!
Bite! Bite! Bite!
Three crisp crashing sounds sounded, and the three feather arrows shot by Huyan Xiutu were picked off one by one by the spear in Ma Chao's hand and fell to the ground. The horse was super fast and whipped, urging the war horse, and the silver spear was pointed remotely, and quickly rushed towards Huyan Xiutu!
Hu Yanxiu Tu in front saw that he hadn't killed Ma Chao twice, so he simply threw away the longbow in his hand, pulled out the long knife at his waist, and urged the Hun horse with a fat crotch to catch up with Ma Chao!
Clang!
Two horses intersect, two soldiers collide, and the collision of silver spears and scimitars sparkles in the night sky!
"The Hun dog thief, dare to plot against the master, and he will die soon!"
Ma Chao was really angry, Hu Yanxiu slaughtered several times and calculated with him, even if the clay man was still a little angry, not to mention, Ma Chao, who was born with a fiery temper.
Retracting the spear that was held by Huyanxiu's scimitar, Ma Chao danced the silver spear and drew a dazzling silver arc in the air, the silver spear shook falsely, attacking Huyanxiu Tu's heart, Huyanxiutu hurriedly held the knife to block, clinker Ma Chao suddenly changed his moves, changed the direction, and the gun was like a dragon, and he went straight to Huyanxiu's slaughter door to stab.
In the way of others, give back to others!
Since Hu Yanxiu wanted to hurt people with dark arrows before, Ma Chao would not be polite, not to mention, soldiers are not tired of cheating, and no one can say who is insidious and cunning!
Huyan Xiutu didn't expect Ma Chao to be a false move before, when the lightning was shining, the tip of the gun whistled, only a size away from Huyan Xiutu's cheeks, Huyan Xiutu panicked, and didn't care about anything else, and quickly dodged sideways, and at the same time raised a knife to fight Ma Chao's silver gun.
Ma Chao's killing moves were blocked by Huyan Xiutu twice in succession, and he couldn't help but start to face up to the Huns in front of him who he despised.
Ma Chao has been talented and intelligent since he was a child, and he was excellent in martial arts at a young age, coupled with Dong Zhuo's careful teaching for a year, his martial arts have progressed rapidly, although he can't compare with fierce generals such as Huaxiong Li Renxiao, but he can also be a few years older than Zhang Xiudou, who is also outstanding in martial arts, for 300 rounds.
The only thing Ma Chao lacks now is that he has too little experience in battlefield fighting, and because of his young age, his physical development is not perfect, and his physical strength, endurance, and mental combat are not as mature as adults!
And Huyan Xiutu no longer dared to underestimate the milky young general in front of him, he Huyan Xiutu was also the champion of the Huns, but before he wrestled with Ma Chao, he was eager to distinguish the winner and loser, which shows that Ma Chao's martial arts are not bad.
The two of them each showed all their strength, and used all their skills to fight, the gun was like thunder, the knife was like a streamer, and after the lily, Ma Chao's weakness in physical strength and endurance gradually began to show.
Wang Qiao on one side has been watching the battle between Ma Chao and Huyanxiu, and with a knife, he overturned a Hun soldier in front of the horse, and rode his horse to Huyanxiu to slaughter!
At the same time, Tong passed through the north city, and because Huyan Xiutu withdrew a large number of men and horses to support the southeast two gates, the defense of the north city became empty.
Counting the more than 1,000 soldiers and horses that Dong Zhuo pressed up later, Beicheng was still only 3,000 soldiers and horses, but when the Xiongnu defensive forces were reduced, the offensive in Beicheng became rapid.
Dozens of ladders were erected on the walls of the northern city, and Dong Zhuojun, who was ambushed, gradually calmed down, and rushed to the city head with the ladders one after another.
Finally, the feather arrows and stones and trees of the Hun defenders were exhausted, and they had to wait for Dong Zhuo's army to attack the city, and then start hand-to-hand combat to protect it.
However, this is very disadvantageous for an army that has not been bombing the camp for a long time, and the willpower is very low, after half an hour of tug-of-war at the north gate, the Xiongnu defenders, whose morale was already low, finally collapsed, and they turned around and fled to the city, perhaps in their subconscious, at this time, only to escape to Huyan Xiutu's side, is the safest.
Without the hindrance of the Xiongnu defenders, the 3,000 Dong Zhuo troops in the northern city quickly passed through the sea of fire, climbed the ladder, climbed to the top of the city, and controlled the north gate in the shortest possible time.
The news of the loss of the North Gate came along with the defeated Hun defenders at the North Gate, which made Huyan Xiutu, who was fighting fiercely with Ma Chao Wang Bridge, shocked, and was almost stabbed into the heart by Ma Chao's poisonous dragon-like silver spear after a short period of distraction.
At this time, Ma Chao was still a child, he didn't have too much arrogance and conceit, and he didn't care too much about the wheel war and group fighting, just like Dong Zhuo taught Ma Chao Dong Huang and others, no matter how many people he had, as long as he killed the enemy general, it would be a battle achievement, so Ma Chao didn't care about whether to join forces with Wang Qiao to kill Huyan Xiutu. What's more, even if he joined forces with Wang Qiao, Huyan Xiutu still had the upper hand.
Between the lightning and flint, the form reversed, and Huyan Xiutu, who originally had the upper hand and crushed Ma Chao and Wang Qiao, became life-threatening.
Huyan Xiutu's left scimitar split Wang Qiao's big knife to his neck, and his right hand pulled out another scimitar to block the silver spear stabbed by Ma Chao, but unfortunately, Ma Chao's silver spear was too fierce, and it was not completely blocked in a hurry, and the silver spear lost its direction, but pierced into Huyan Xiutu's left arm.
Hu Yanxiu was wounded, which was another important blow to the morale of the Huns, and Dong Zhuo's army, which was besieged from three sides in the east city, south city, and north city, was surging, and the momentum was monstrous!
There were the sounds of killing everywhere, the wails of the Hun army everywhere, and the wild laughter of the soldiers of Dong Zhuo's army everywhere.
Although the Huns are proficient in horsemanship, the Hun cavalry does dominate the world, but on the starting battle, street fighting, but to lose too much to the Han official army, the two immediately met, the Hun cavalry has a chance of winning six or seven points, but if the horse encounters, the Han army can achieve a complete victory.
Rao is a rare wise and brave general of Huyan Xiutu, known as the Xiongnu, but he cannot command an army that has just bombed the camp to resist the surging attack of thousands of Dong Zhuo's army like a flood of beasts in the case of foot combat.
The tide is over!
A trace of loss and unwillingness flashed in Huyan Xiutu's heart, but he had to admit that the situation was irreparable, and no matter how powerful he was, he still couldn't change the defeat!
