Forty-nine to put heads-up
In the middle of the night, just like the sleeping behemoth monster Xindu City, suddenly there was a sound of shaking the mountains, and then a loud noise rose to the sky, the raging fire burned at the surrounding city gates almost at the same time, the deafening sound of golden drums and horns, the shouts and kills of the mountains and seas, from the direction of the south gate spread more than ten miles.
Yuan Tan, who had always been wary, rushed to the front line of the South Gate almost immediately. The chaotic battle situation in front of him made him dumbfounded, and he couldn't help muttering: "I hate to listen to what Guangping said, He Chen really knows how to demons." ”
It's just a pity that now Yuan Tan remembered that this resourceful minister had become He Chen's prisoner.
And it is already proud, Xindu, a recognized fortified city with a height of nearly ten meters, the wooden gate of the iron gate under the gate that is more than three meters high has been shattered by the explosion, and the majestic and mighty wind is gone. And the soldiers were crossing the moat with a floating ladder and stabbing into the city frantically. The entire city gate area has completely become a meat grinder, a hellish battlefield. Soldiers piled up here shouting and shouting, killing as much as they could, flesh and blood flying.
Countless rockets, arrows, and stones poured down on the city like a raging storm. The various fortifications in the city were suppressed by the powerful long-range fire offensive of the state army, and they could hardly raise their heads. Even if there is an occasional counterattack, it is still sparse and does not create a threat.
Wen Chou's bravery was undoubtedly revealed at this moment, if it weren't for the fact that he saw that the situation was wrong, he forgot to die, led hundreds of dead soldiers, braved dense arrows, and began to command bed crossbows and crossbows to counterattack, according to a certain chaos of Xu Huang's department, I was afraid that the state army would rush into the city gate without hindrance. It's just that this kind of counterattack is too little for the Bingzhou army that is determined to capture the city tonight. Although the speed of advance was slightly slowed down, it could not stop He Chenjun's pace of progress at all.
"Up." Wen Chou roared, and the three or four soldiers in front were pushing with all their might, and the two or three in the back were holding iron pry, struggling to pry a large boulder with at least a thousand catties of grinding disc onto the battlement.
"Push it down." Seven or eight soldiers roared in unison, sweating like rain, and with almost all their might, they pushed the boulder down from the top of the floating ladder with their shoulders and hands. As soon as this natural defensive stone disappeared, at least most of the soldiers who had not had time to catch their breath and retreat were pierced into a hornet's nest by arrows.
"Disperse." Seeing the boulder in the air roaring and falling, Meng Yu, who was in charge of the overseer under the city, changed his face, and he didn't want to say sharply: "Meng Da, then go up the floating ladder." ”
"No."
"Puff, puff" The clever soldiers on the floating ladder didn't care whether they could swim forever, and when they saw the boulders falling from the sky, they jumped off the moat as soon as they saw it. The dog said, Lao Tzu can jump twice in the water if he is drowned, if he is hit by this big stone, his head will definitely bloom on the spot, become a pie, and then go to see the Lord of Yama without any suspense.
"Peng" In a loud noise and the sound of crying father and mother, the only floating ladder on the moat was smashed by a boulder, directly broken into two, and then fell directly into the river with many soldiers above. Fortunately, the moat was not very wide, and the soldiers who had fallen into the water quickly climbed ashore with the help of their companions.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Meng Da had already commanded the second floating ladder to rush up and erect it from scratch.
For this situation, He Chen had already expected that there were at least dozens of floating ladders below in case needed.
Yuan Tan sadly found that the equipment he had painstakingly prepared to defend the city was almost useless in this unconventional way of playing, and falling rocks, boiling oil, boiling water, and fence wood had become decorations at all, because the Bingzhou army did not set up a ladder to climb the city at all, and all of them flocked directly to the city gate.
"Resist, resist." Wen Chou was nine feet long, with a horizontal face, and his whole face was blue in the dark night when the fire was blazing.
"General, the offensive of the state side is too fierce, as if they don't want to die, our army is losing and retreating."
"Quickly send someone to inform Yuan Dagongzi that the enemy's main force is concentrated in Nancheng, and ask him to transfer soldiers from the other three cities to support, otherwise with 8,000 men and horses in our military region, it will not be able to withstand the onslaught of four or five times the enemy's army."
"No."
"General, the city gate is about to fall, and the state army is attacking the urn city." Yibu exclaimed.
Wen Chou's heart was cold, and when he looked up, he saw the Bingzhou Front Army, under the leadership of a fierce general, it is estimated that there are thousands of elite soldiers, and the front of the city gate is more than ten meters wide, and the defense line is torn apart, and then a steady stream of soldiers poured in, and began to climb the stairs of the city wall, burning the war into the city.
"Son of a bitch, brother." Wen Chou's eyes erupted with fire, and he scolded angrily, leaving his deputy to continue to command the soldiers in the city to suppress with bows and arrows, while he led the Qubu, picked up the big knife, and went straight to Xu Huang.
"Get out." Xu Huang's big axe swept backhanded, and four or five halberds on the stairs were directly knocked into the wall, causing a burst of sparks and loud noises, the halberd was directly broken in half, and the iron spear head fell to the ground "dangdang", and the soldiers above fell down like a rolling gourd.
"Who's coming?" Seeing that Xu Huang was violent, Wen Chou felt a monstrous battle intent in his heart, and shouted loudly.
"Xu Huang is also Hedong, who are you?" In the sound of rushing and killing, Xu Huang's majestic voice came from afar.
"I heard that Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang and others under He Chen's tent are all extremely fierce and brave through the three armies. Wen Chou was overjoyed when he saw the hunt, and his heart rose to be competitive.
"You are Wen Chou, one of the four court pillars in Hebei? Hahaha, Han Qiong, who was known as Hebei Yizhengliang last year, didn't go a hundred rounds under a certain hand, you are rampant, and next year will be your taboo. Xu Huang let out a long laugh, and his voice was like a bell.
"What? The old gun king Han Qiong was killed by him? ”
"No wonder this guy is so powerful." The Hebei army exclaimed in unison, and a more or less timid look appeared on their faces.
"Han Qiong is already in her sixtieth year, and she is dying of old age, how can she be compared with this general." Seeing that he was looked down upon, Wen Chou couldn't help but shout angrily, took a few steps, raised his big knife, and brought up snowflakes, which shrouded the past very quickly.
"Broken." Xu Huang snorted, the sound was like a muffled thunder, the whole person was like a tiger out of the cage, the big axe swept into the air, in the golden halo, with a strong wind sweeping the leaves, like opening a mountain and breaking the stream, and greeted it fiercely.
"When." With a bang, although Wen Chou was a little reckless, his combat nerves were extremely developed, and when he saw Xu Huang's heavy axe weapon, he didn't fight with him, but just shook a knife, and the big knife in his hand quickly cut into the axe.
The long knife was then swung away, Wen Chou's empty door was wide open, and Xu Huang's big axe also fell sideways, and his steps staggered a little.
The two of them were shocked at the same time, they didn't expect that the other party's arm strength was so amazing, and they could fight equally. Wen Chou's fierce surname was raised, the blood in his eyes was shining, the big knife was quickly recovered, and then he stretched out his crimson tongue and licked his lips, and shouted: "Xu Huang is really good, today it is said that either you will die, or I will die." ”
"Wen Chou is also worthy of his reputation, come on, come on." Xu Huang's golden axe was horizontal in front of his chest, taking a small step, like a spring shaking out, the big axe roared into the air, and the head was slashed straight down, although the move was concise, but it was better than speed, strength, and that amazing momentum.
"It's good to come." Wen Chou is not ashamed to be a famous general in Hebei, and has been well-known in the Central Plains for more than several years, and his weapons are really extraordinary. A violent storm and rain rushed down, and the sky was full of silver-white snow flakes of knife light, strong winds, flying sand and stones, extremely sharp, and Xu Huang was impermeable.
Xu Huang is also very good, the big axe seems to be bulky, but in fact it runs like flying, and every time he breaks a thousand catties with force, he does not give in to Yu Wenchou at all.
In Lao Luo's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the fact that Xu Huang fought Wen Chou was seriously distorted, saying that he was defeated by Wen Chou and fled within dozens of rounds, this technique was actually to set off the second brother of the martial saint Guan who appeared later. But it is recorded in history that at that time, Wen Chou's soldiers were extremely prosperous, and there were many generals and soldiers under his command, and Xu Huang's soldiers were outnumbered, even if he fought Wen Chou, the soldiers who followed him also had the possibility of annihilation, so he retreated after less than a dozen rounds of fighting, not because Xu Huang was not supported, but to preserve Cao Ying's already few living combat strength. It was originally an extremely wise retreat, but it became a big stain in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and it has to be sighed.
At this time, one person has no worries, one person fights for the reputation of the decisive battle, can be regarded as a good material, chess opponent, the sky is dark, the moon is dark, the moon is dark, just in the blink of an eye, the two will fight dozens of moves, including the thrilling scene, the soldiers look at all the gasp.
Xu Huang and Wen Chou are both tiger generals in the world. It's just that the difference between the two is that the former firmly remembers He Chen's instructions in advance, while the latter is purely a personal honor and a strong heart to fight. Under Xu Huang's deliberate guidance, the two quickly jumped down the stairs and opened up an open area for catching and fighting to the death. And Xu Huang's deputy general, Meng Yu, took the opportunity to lead the soldiers to rush up and occupy the stairs, and the army quickly captured Weng City, and then fought for the city ladders and rushed to the top of the city wall.
"Kill." Without Wen Chou personally in charge, the Hebei army on the city defense soon fell into a situation of fighting on its own, and most of them were new recruits, lacking sufficient training and battlefield experience, and soon fell into disadvantage. Meng Yu took a pair of small plate axes and led elite soldiers to start the first wave of sweeping of the Hebei army on the battlements, clearing all the last obstacles for Wei Yan's army to come up.
It was only at this time that Yuan Tan came to his senses and hurriedly ordered the deployment of troops, preparing to desperately recapture the South Gate stronghold.
It's just the development of the battle situation, but Yuan Tan was caught off guard, and his heart was deep.
