Chapter 547: The Newcomer Makes a Threat
"Kill!"
With an angry roar, Hu Fan suddenly pulled out a horizontal knife from his waist and slashed at the guard colonel like lightning.
In the midst of the exclamations in the sky, the little colonel guarding the door clutched his throat and fell down unwillingly.
Suddenly, the shouts of killing rang out at the city gate, and fifty elite soldiers followed closely behind to kill the enemy army, trying to seize the city gate.
One side is the elite of Hexi who has been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, and the other side is the Liangzhou county soldiers who are not long anyway.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Liangzhou troops who had no intention of fighting were killed and retreated, scattering and fleeing.
At this moment, a rapid banging sound resounded throughout the city.
When the defenders of the city heard this, they shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" ”
After killing the city gate colonel, Hu Fan took out a crossbow from his arms with a knife in one hand, and roared: "Follow me!" ”
Fifty or so men roared towards Chongnai, just in time to meet hundreds of defenders rushing to reinforce them.
I saw that as soon as Hu Fan waved his hand, fifty crossbows were fired at the enemy.
Suddenly, the arrows rained down, and hundreds of defenders were caught off guard, and they were hit by arrows one after another, screaming and falling to the ground on their backs.
But there were too many enemies, and fifty repeaters couldn't stop each other at all.
Seeing this, Hu Fan bit his teeth, threw the repeater aside, pointed his blade forward, and roared angrily: "Kill!" Kill them all. ”
Fifty soldiers followed the example of Hu Fan, threw away their crossbows, drew their horizontal swords, and roared to kill the enemy.
In order to recapture the city gate, the defender of Baocheng personally led people to counterattack.
Fortunately, the city gate is narrow, which is not conducive to the display of the team.
In this way, Hu Fan relied on the desperate resistance of more than 50 people to hold the front.
But the reinforcements were nowhere to be seen, and the defense line was about to be overwhelmed, so Hu Fan couldn't help but feel anxious.
At this moment, the 3,000 Hexi Army is advancing rapidly in the depths of the plank road, and the target is Baocheng.
At the beginning of the timing, Hu Fan was worried that the rebel scouts would discover him, so he did not dare to let the army get too close to Baocheng.
In other words, before the arrival of reinforcements, Hu Fan insisted on at least about a stick of incense.
Everyone formed a formation, using the brave Hu Fan as the arrow, and took advantage of the surrounding terrain to finally block the enemy's siege.
At the critical moment, reinforcements finally arrived.
When Hu Fan saw the sun and moon battle flag, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Brothers, reinforcements are coming, kill!" ”
More and more Hexi troops poured into the city, and Hu Fan personally killed the defenders, making the first contribution to Hexi's capture of Baocheng.
The defenders were killed, and the enemy no longer had the heart to fight, so they knelt on the ground and asked for surrender.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the Hexi Army had fully taken over Baocheng and broken through the outer defense line of Hanzhong.
……
This time, Hexi launched a surprise attack on Hanzhong, which can be described as a thunderous and thunderous horse.
In the depths of the Qinling Mountains, tens of thousands of Hexi soldiers divided their roads and meandered through the Qinshu Ancient Road.
Due to the limited conditions, it is impossible for the armies to cooperate perfectly.
Therefore, when Hu Fan had successfully attacked Baocheng, Zhu Lingshi was still interspersed in the plank road.
Zhu Lingshi, like Hu Fan, also held his breath, bent on proving himself.
"Captain, ahead is Xingshi City."
"How many defenders are there in the city?"
"Back to the capital, there are about a thousand people in the city."
"A thousand?" Hearing this, Zhu Lingshi was secretly happy.
It's not that he boasts about Haikou, now he has more than 3,000 people in his hands, plus his own bravery, maybe he can take the city with a charge.
It's not that Zhu Lingshi doesn't know how to use strategies, it's that he doesn't dare to take risks.
Fu Luo Road is not used as often as the Bao Slope Road, the plank road is very difficult, and the marching speed is definitely not as fast as Hu Fan.
If the enemy had reacted quickly, perhaps the Xingshi defenders had been alerted.
Instead of gambling on the enemy's carelessness, it is better to take the initiative into your own hands.
So, Zhu Lingshi was ruthless, rushed out of Fu Luo Road with his subordinates, and killed Xingshi City.
Dangdang! A gong sounded, and the defenders hurriedly grabbed their weapons and counterattacked.
The three thousand Hexi soldiers rushed to Xingshi like a tide, and the first fierce general was Zhu Lingshi.
Don't look at Zhu Lingshi's youth, but because he was born in a family of generals, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has developed a skill.
When he was a child, he was so obsessed with martial arts that he didn't even want to eat, and when he saw a tree stump, he couldn't help but rush up and punch twice, and he would kick anything he touched.
Under continuous hard training, Zhu Lingshi finally trained himself to become a peerless master.
In addition to fist and foot kung fu, Zhu Lingshi also practiced a flying knife stunt.
Even if it can't be as good as Xiao Li's flying knife, it is enough to shoot any target within ten steps.
It is said that in order to practice flying knives, Zhu Lingshi let his uncle lie on the bed, and then cut out a small piece of paper and pasted it on the pillow.
He stood eight or nine paces away and threw the knife at him, though his uncle was so frightened that he did not dare to move with his eyes closed.
But he managed to hit the piece of paper with his knife, but not his uncle's head.
Seeing the enemy general rushing towards him, Zhu Lingshi flashed a trace of coldness.
I saw him raise his spear and shake it, shaking out a spear flower, and the steel spear was like a poisonous snake spitting out letters, and it pierced the enemy general like lightning.
As soon as the guard picked up the broadsword, before he could exert his strength, he saw a spear coming straight to the chest.
The Guard's face was full of horror, and he swore that he had never seen such a rapid piercing attack in his life.
By the time he twisted his body to dodge, it was too late, and he could only watch as the spear pierced through his armor and pierced into his chest, blood gushing out of the muzzle.
The guard opened his mouth wide and tried to scream, but he didn't make a sound, and when it was dark in front of him, he lost consciousness.
Zhu Lingshi picked up the corpse high and threw it fiercely at the enemy group.
The defenders were stunned by this scene, and their eyes were full of fear when they looked at Zhu Lingshi.
In just an instant, Zhu Lingshi attacked and killed the defenders, and rushed into the enemy army like a whirlwind, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
With one hand, he swung the steel spear, turning into a flower of spear, and almost with a single stab, he slashed a large number of enemies at his feet.
It can really be said that everyone is invincible, and the Xingshi defenders were defeated by Zhu Lingshi almost as soon as they met.
Immediately after, 3,000 sword and shield soldiers also rushed in, and the surviving defenders were in a mess.
The main general is brave and personally fights again, how dare the rest of the soldiers not swear to serve?
Suddenly, driven by Zhu Lingshi, the Hexi Army launched wave after wave of offensives.
People are constantly being shot by arrows, and people are constantly being smashed into flesh by stones.
But as soon as someone died, someone immediately replenished it, like an endless wave, roaring and impacting the Xian defenders' defense line over and over again.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The Hexi army rushed to the city with red eyes and roars in their mouths.
Under the fierce offensive of the Hexi army, the defenders suffered heavy casualties, and they had reached the place where the oil ran out.
Zhu Lingshi is worthy of being a famous general in history, and he is keenly aware of the imminent collapse of the enemy, so he immediately decides to launch a fatal blow.
I saw his right hand swing again and again, and several flying knives broke through the air, flying straight to the enemy chief with the cold star.
In the blink of an eye, several of the recalcitrant defenders' junior officers were shot to the ground.
Without the command of the generals, under the fierce offensive of the Hexi Army, the defenders in the city could no longer hold on, and scattered and fled.
The city is broken! Suddenly, up and down the city, there were cheers from the Hexi army everywhere.
After the war, Zhu Lingshi stood at the head of the city, looking at the bloodstained city wall, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With the fall of Xingshi and Baocheng one after another, several other Hexi armies also came with good news.
So far, the Hexi Army has successfully broken through the outer defense line of Hanzhong and opened the door to Hanzhong in the south.
However, the armies of all walks of life continued to go deep into the hinterland of Hanzhong.
……
Long before the turmoil broke out in Shudi, King Yong had secretly transferred troops south through the Privy Council.
As a result, thanks to the advance arrangement, the Hexi Army has won successive battles since it went south.
Tens of thousands of Hexi troops set out from Guanzhong, went south along the Qinshu Ancient Road, and killed the Hanzhong Plain.
In mid-October, Hu Fan successfully attacked Baocheng and won the first battle of the southward movement with almost zero casualties.
The next day, Zhu Lingshi was not to be outdone, and the strong attack was successful, killing hundreds of Shu troops, capturing 100 people, and few escaped.
It didn't take long for Li Sui and Mao Dezu to break through the Meridian Road and Chencang Road one after another, opening the gateway to Hanzhong in the south.
So far, the Hexi Army has won a comprehensive victory in the first phase of the war and achieved its pre-war goal.
In this offensive, several newcomers performed well, and they were completely worthy of the trust and reuse of King Yong.
On October 13, as the main general Wang Maide set off for Hanzhong, the battle for Shu officially kicked off.
