Chapter 269: An Amazing Scene
Lu Bu led these thirteen,000 people, specially selected remote places and walked, not in a hurry, when there were still more than thirty miles away from Xiangyang, he found a valley, ordered all the soldiers to dismount and rest, eat some dry food, drink war horses, and prepare for the final sprint, because he was worried that the scouting horses sent would fall into the eyes of people with intentions, and leak his whereabouts, so along the way, Lu Bu did not send people to explore the road to reconnoitre, but no one came to interrogate them along the way, and even the people would take the initiative to send some food, Therefore, in Lu Bu's imagination, his trick to hide from the sky and the sea was a great success, and Xiangyang, known as the city that never sleeps, must be defenseless now.
Xia said that the time when the sun set was always later than Pingyue, but Lu Bu couldn't wait for dark, he jumped up from the ground, and with a whistle, the red rabbit horse ran over, Lu Bu turned over, pointed the halberd in his hand in the direction of Xiangyang City, and shouted: "Children, thirty miles south from here is the prosperous Xiangyang City, where there are countless gold, silver and jewelry waiting for you to get, and countless beautiful women and dolls waiting for you to enjoy, what are you waiting for, hurry up and pick up your bows and arrows, Hold on to your steel knives, charge, kill, and be their masters. ”
These Xiliang soldiers and the Flying Bear Army, under the temptation of the beautiful blueprint depicted by Lu Bu, jumped on their horses one after another, let out bursts of strange screams, and rushed all the way towards Xiangyang City.
The distance of thirty miles is for these Xiliang fast horses, in an instant, soon, only three or five miles away from the moat, the brightly lit Xiangyang City has appeared in front of them, and from a distance, you can see that the city gate on the other side of the moat is still wide open, and there are people coming and going in and out unhurriedly,
Seeing that success was in front of him, Lu Bu couldn't help but be overjoyed and yelled: "Children, speed up and kill." ”
"Rush." "Kill."
Bursts of shouts resounded in the sky, and the 13,000 cavalry divided into three torrents and rushed towards the three temporary bridges on the moat, with Lu Bu and the 3,000 Flying Bear Army in the middle, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Hao Meng on both sides.
Suddenly, the cavalry who rushed to the front fell off their horses, revealing large and small pits on the ground, these pits were bright or dark, and the horse would lose its hooves if they accidentally stepped in, and it was inevitable that the cavalry would fall down, however, this was just the beginning, and many people jumped out of some of the deeper pits, which were the Han recruits who were ambushed here in advance, and the Han infantry rushed to the Xiliang cavalry who fell off their horses, slashing with knives and stabbing with spears, while they had not yet reacted, frantically harvesting their lives,
However, the recruits who were ambushed in the middle were not so lucky, and it was Dong Zhuo's most elite troops, the Flying Bear Army, that broke through in the middle lane, these Flying Bear Army were extremely brave, even if they fell off their horses, they could quickly launch a counterattack, a soldier of the Flying Bear Army was almost fearless in the face of more than ten or twenty recruits, and even had the upper hand, if they did it with a knife and a gun, these recruits would definitely not be the opponents of the Flying Bear Army, and I don't know who shouted first, rushed up and hugged the fallen Flying Bear Army soldiers, biting with teeth and hitting their heads with their heads, The other recruits immediately followed suit, pestering these brave men of the Flying Bear Army, and the more agile soldiers picked up their knives and spears and stabbed them all over the body, even if they hurt their comrades.
This kind of desperate fighting shocked the cavalry that followed closely, and the momentum of the cavalry galloping paused obviously, and Lu Bu saw it behind and said loudly: "Children, don't be afraid, they play with their lives like this, which means that the city is empty, rush in, and everything inside is all yours." ”
His shouting quickly took effect, and many people remembered the very incendiary mobilization before Lu Bu set off, these cavalrymen suddenly had red eyes, and urged their horses one after another, regardless of the comrades in front of them who were fighting with the Han army recruits who were ambushed in the dirt pit, and galloped directly past them, and the Han army recruits who were scuffling together and the Xiliang cavalry who fell off their horses and the warriors of the Flying Bear Army were trampled into meat by the big horses' hooves at the mouth of the bowl in an instant, regardless of each other.
In the face of such a tragic scene, these Han army recruits who have only been in the army for more than half a year were not intimidated, and none of the 10,000 people who were ambushed in the pit flinched, and they jumped out of the pit one after another, fighting to the death with the enemy, until they disappeared into the rolling torrent of the cavalry.
Not listening to the persuasion of Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and others, Ma Yun, who insisted on watching the battle at the head of the city, saw this scene, and couldn't help but shed tears, that is 10,000 fresh lives, they are still so young, but they are willing to sacrifice themselves for the people in this city, without hesitation,
The earth-shattering shouts outside the city have already alarmed the people in the city, many people are hiding in panic, and more people are flocking to the city gate, asking to help hold on to the city, in the face of the people's request, Ma Yun did not agree, just sent people over to appease them repeatedly, these people are unarmed, and there is no martial arts, so that they can not play much role in going to the city, she does not want the people to make senseless sacrifices,
Moreover, seeing the brutal battle just now, Ma Yun firmly believed that Xiangyang City could definitely be defended, although the hope of survival of the 10,000 recruits in the ambush trap formation was very slim, but the casualties of the Xiliang soldiers under Lu Bu would not be less than 6,000 people, and even the losses of the most fierce flying bear soldiers were at least about 1,000 people, and the remaining 7,000 people wanted to break through Xiangyang, which was high and wide in the city, which was tantamount to a fool's dream, Ma Yun turned his head and ordered: "Inform the soldiers not to close the city gate, tell the people in the city, It is impossible for the enemy to even approach the city walls, so we don't even have to worry about the city gates, so everyone can rest assured. ”
Ma Yun is now fearless, Xiangyang's moat is up to 200 meters wide, relying on three temporary bridges for people to pass, even if you have thousands of troops and horses, it is inevitable to come to this single-plank bridge to squeeze it, the city has already arranged countless bows and arrows aimed at these three temporary bridges, as long as Xiliang Hou stepped into the range, it will definitely end up with ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, not to mention that there are 23,000 ambushes on the other side of the moat, of which 3,000 are the most elite flying tiger guards, of course, everything has advantages and disadvantages, Since the soldiers defending the city were not equipped with strong bows, such a wide moat kept the enemy troops in bay and "protected" the enemy troops out of the range of the defenders.
After paying huge casualties, Lu Bu's cavalry finally passed through the trap formation, and could already see countless torches and lanterns lit on both sides of the moat, illuminating the night as if it were day, and the Fang Tian painting halberd in Lu Bu's palm waved forward, and said loudly: "Children, Xiangyang City is in front of you, rush across the river, rob them of their wealth, possess their women, and kill." ”
With a burst of "howling" strange screams, the Xiliang cavalry rushed to the moat in one breath, however, a shocking scene appeared, and before they could get close to the bridge, many cavalry fell off their horses, it turned out that the Xiliang cavalry only looked at the brilliant lights of Xiangyang City, but did not find that there were many horses and horses in ambush on the side of the moat, this is probably the so-called black under the lamp, at the moment when the cavalry rushed over, these ambush soldiers stood up together, they held steel knives in one hand, and pulled the tough hemp rope in the other, Nearly 10,000 ropes were entwined with each other, forming a huge ground net, and the cavalry, who had consciously slowed down because of their proximity to the river, was suddenly encircled.
There was a tragic hand-to-hand battle by the moat, and the cavalry who fell off their horses were soon surrounded by the Han army recruits who were ambushed by the river, and they were cut into meat before they could react, and the soldiers who were still riding on their horses would not be much lucky, the war horses had been firmly entangled in these hemp ropes, and they had lost the advantage of impact, and their combat effectiveness was not much stronger than these recruits, but in the middle of the entire battlefield, it was a different scene, where there were two thousand of the most elite flying bear soldiers, except for a few who fell to the ground, In addition to being seriously injured or killed under the trampling of the war horse, the others almost did not need any instructions, they abandoned their horses and turned into foot combat, these flying bear soldiers were all armed with sharp axes and long knives, facing the swarming Han army recruits, with fewer enemies and more, they only paid a small casualty and forced to the bridge step by step, and those Han army recruits were like children facing giants in front of these flying bear troops, almost no power to fight back, the sharp axes and long knives in the hands of the flying bear army flew up and down, dealing with these Han army recruits was like chopping melons and vegetables, A bloody storm was set off everywhere they passed, although these Han army recruits had already put life and death aside and rushed forward one after another, but they were only like moths to a fire, and there was no return.
At this critical moment, suddenly heard a broken drink, like a thunderbolt in a sunny day, a black-faced man brandished a big knife, strode into the formation, where the big knife went, flesh and blood flew sideways, everywhere there were broken arms and stumps, with an order, the recruits of the Han army retreated to both sides like a tide, and went to find those Xiliang cavalry to fight, only to see another yellow-faced man, wielding a pair of huge iron halberds in his hands, with three thousand life force soldiers into the battle array, these three thousand life force soldiers each carried a thick iron rod, When you encounter the Flying Bear Army, you don't have a head and no brains.
With Xu Chu and Dian Wei led the Flying Tiger Guards to join the battle group, the battlefield situation reversed, the Flying Tiger Guards and the Flying Bear Army were rare elite divisions in that era, and the combat power was between the two of them, and they were all advancing and not retreating, and they were not afraid of death, but the Flying Tiger Guards had Dian Wei and Xu Chu to take the lead, the morale was high, and the number was also advantageous, plus they waited for work, and soon gained the upper hand. In the battle of advancing and retreating, the sharp axe and long knife slashed on the iron rod except for a burst of sparks, which could not play any other role at all, and the heavy iron rod smashed over one after another, the sharp axe was also rolled, and the long knife was also broken, Rao is so, a moment of effort, the casualties of the Flying Tiger guards have been more than half, and the Flying Bear Army has not taken a step back until the last man,
In front of the bridges on both sides, the battle between the recruits of the Han army and the Xiliang cavalry was also coming to an end, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, these four Xiao generals under Lu Bu were all wounded, and they were surrounded in the heart, and it was estimated that they would not be able to support it for long, just when the people at the head of the city were relieved, an amazing scene suddenly appeared,
