Chapter 481: Gan Ning retreated
It turned out that when Gan Ning was jumping on the mount, he used the side of the war horse to block Lu Lingqi's line of sight, secretly took off the longbow, and wanted to shoot Lu Lingqi off the horse with an arrow.
Lu Bu shot an arrow, startling Gan Ning to bend down to dodge, causing the Jiangdong soldiers watching the battle to boo.
The premise of the sweeping array is that the arrows shot cannot be aimed at the enemy's body, and can only interfere with them, otherwise it will become a sneak attack. It's not wrong to think about saving your own people when your own people are in danger, but you can't shoot at the enemy's vital points. Lu Bu, as the hero of one party, actually attacked without shame......
Gan Ning heard the sound of the bowstring vibrating, and was slightly distracted, it was this moment of distraction, before the arrow in his hand was shot, he heard the strong wind blowing in his ears.
"Dark Arrow!"
Gan Ning also got it, and when the danger came, he pressed the horse's head violently, and his body lay on the horse's neck to avoid a blow.
Gan Ning was about to use his afterglow to see who was sneaking attack, when he saw Guan Ping, who was dressed in linen and wearing filial piety, with hatred on his face, coming out of the field. Gan Ning was also angry in his heart, and he didn't count as a sneak attack, but also sent a general to attack! He and Lu Lingqi had just started fighting, and Lu Bu began to make all kinds of shameless moves to undermine the blame of the fighting generals.
Gan Ning originally wanted to capture Lu Lingqi and force Lu Bu to withdraw from the army, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to be so shameless that the situation would develop like this!
Guan Ping killed in the field, Gan Ning didn't dare to hold it up, although the person who came was young, but the hatred on his face was really engraved, adding a bit of fierceness and slaughter. Gan Ning put down the chain, took off the machete hanging from the horse, and slashed at Guan Ping.
"Who died of Lu Bu? Do you still wear filial piety with linen? At the same time as Gan Ning slashed a knife, Guan Ping, who was distracted by his words and tried his best to dodge.
Guan Ping tilted his body to dodge, tears almost rolled down his face, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Thief, today Guan swears to avenge his father, accept his life!" ”
Although Gan Ning failed to slash Guan Ping with a knife, he still made Guan Ping's upper body tilt. The center of gravity shifted, and the heavy broadsword in his hand could not be attacked for a while. Gan Ning naturally won't let go of such a good opportunity, he is one-on-two, among which Lu Lingqi is famous, and her martial arts are not weak. The other person looked like he was here to seek revenge, and it should be the eldest son of Guan Yu imprisoned by Lu Bu in the legend.
Gan Ning took this opportunity to deal with Guan Ping first, and the angry person's mind could not be speculated, and it was normal for him to make a move to fight for his life. Gan Ning didn't want to be injured and affect the rest of the battle.
The power of the next chop suddenly turned, and the machete in Gan Ning's hand slammed up incredibly. The strength was comparable to a full slash, and Guan Ping's armor was scraped by the back of the knife with a piercing sound, and it was sunk into a ditch of the boss. This blow, if Guan Ping hadn't avoided it in time, as soon as he appeared, not only could he not avenge his father, but also gave his life.
Guan Ping's entire ass was out of the horse's back, and Gan Ning was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, when the sound of breaking the air behind him hit. Gan Ning scolded again.
"Bell!"
As soon as Gan Ning turned around, he blocked the halberd stabbed by Lu Lingqi, and his anger also turned to Lu Lingqi. drove the horse to meet Lu Lingqi, who was galloping over, and ignored Guan Ping on the side.
Lu Lingqi turned around the war horse, and the war horse began to circle around Gan Ning's mount. The crescent halberd stabbed out a partial afterimage, rolling around Gan Ning, cautiously guarding against Gan Ning's counterattack.
In the two battles just now, Lu Lingqi overestimated Gan Ning's strength and became more and more cautious. First of all, she was unprepared, and she almost hit Gan Ning's secret arrow, and Guan Ping, who rushed to help, was almost overturned by Gan Ning in two rounds. Lu Lingqi's arm is still a little numb.
In fact, Guan Ping is not so weak as Lu Lingqi thought, how could a fierce general who can fight with Pang De for dozens of rounds be killed by Gan Ning with one move? It's just that Guan Ping's hatred covers his eyes, and he is angry and anxious, wanting to kill the Jiangdong general as soon as possible, and he will attack before the war horse comes to the battlefield.
Guan Ping also put away his hatred and responded calmly. The two members were second only to Gan Ning's fierce generals, and Gan Ning wanted to kill one person first several times to find a breakthrough, but they were all disintegrated.
In the end, Gan Ning had to abandon the machete and capture the double halberd on his back. These two halberds were originally the weapons used in the Ganning Water War, and their defensive power was very good. In hand-to-hand combat in water warfare, it is like a fish in water.
With a halberd in one hand, although Gan Ning's whole body was covered, he himself couldn't reach the enemy, so he could only be beaten passively.
The two sides fought more than ten times, Guan Ping suddenly had a hideous face, and with the impact force of the war horse, he accelerated violently from a distance and sprinted over. Regardless of Gan Ning's defense, he raised his hand ruthlessly and cut it towards Gan Ning.
Gan Ning looked back, and his face changed greatly. Even if he blocked this halberd, the war horse would not be able to escape the fate of being cut in two. What does it mean for a general to lose his warhorse? Even if Gan Ning can kill Guan Ping with his backhand, is he still Lu Lingqi's opponent without a war horse?
Gan Ning didn't think about it, turned around and resisted the halberd stabbed by Lu Lingqi, pulled out the horse and left.
"Roar!"
Gan Ning was in pain, roared angrily, did not stop, and rushed into the big array.
"Gan Ning is injured, chase!"
Guan Ping did not reduce the speed of the horse and chased it directly.
The two chased to the front of the big formation side by side, and Gan Ning had already been entered into the formation by Jiangdong soldiers. The two approached, and thousands of arrows flew in front of the battle, forcing Lu Lingqi and the others to retreat.
The two glanced at each other, made eye contact for a moment, and Lu Lingqi raised her crescent halberd: "Siege!" ”
"Knock knock!"
"Attack!"
"Da-da-da-da-da."
The cavalry on both flanks rushed out, and the infantry pushed the siege vehicles behind, densely packed like an endless colony of ants.
Gan Ning looked back at Zhou Yu in the city in surprise. They didn't expect Lu Bu to send cavalry to be the vanguard of the siege, how big is Chang'an's great cause? Aren't you afraid of the loss of the war horse? In Jiangdong, war horses are much more valuable than human lives!
Zhou Yu obviously hesitated, if the guards outside the city retreated, then Lu Bu's army would approach the city unhindered. However, could the Jiangdong infantry and hundreds of cavalry outside the city stop and break through the formation of Lu Bu's army?
The answer is obvious, five hundred cavalry can only stumble on the footsteps of the Chang'an iron cavalry at most.
Zhou Yu struggled for a moment, his face full of frost: "Mingjin."
Zhou Yu had just learned the news of Jianye's loss, and he also really wanted to decide with Lu Bu as soon as possible. In the past, the protracted war of hope was unrealistic after exhausting Lu Bu's grain and grass after he was frustrated and intercepted the river, and he had to prevent Lu Bu from bursting the embankment and flooding Xiangyang.
Gan Ning wiped the sweat on his face hatefully, and pulled out the war horse: "Go back to the city!" ”
"Take the gates!"
Lu Lingqi suddenly drove her war horse, chased the Jiangdong soldiers who turned around and retreated, and went straight to the Xiangyang City Gate to kill.
Before the people reached the city, the frightened Jiangdong soldiers pushed down a few rolling logs first.
"All catapults, aim for the female generals of the city. The archers are ready, the speed of the miscellaneous servants replenishes the firewood, and the boiling oil has not yet boiled. "Jiangdong generals shuttled through the city to make the final preparations for defending the city.
The most important thing in Xiangyang is to throw stones, Zhou Yu heard that after the frustration was awarded to intercept the river, he rushed to repair a lot of flood drainage ditches in the city, piled up a few people on the city wall to throw stones, and there are also mountain-like stone throwing piles in the city.
"Trebuchet, launch!"
Lu Lingqi was also in a cold sweat, and the dozens of trebuchets in the city were all aimed at her. Because the accuracy of trebuchets is quite low, the area of dozens of simultaneous launches is very large.
"Boom!"
There were more than ten loud noises, and the thunder stone was visibly turning in circles in the air, smashing towards Lu Lingqi overwhelmingly, and Lu Bu, who was watching the battle, did not dare to come out, his nails were embedded in the flesh, and his eyes were fixed on the thunder stone.
Lu Lingqi heard the earth-shattering sound, but just raised her eyes and held back a glance at the thunder stone rain, shook the reins, and did not retreat but advanced: "Drive!" ”
Touch......
Behind him, the thunder stone smashed up the dust, and Lu Lingqi didn't look back, and directly hit the city. Trebuchets can only hit far places, but not close places.
"Bow and arrow, shoot!"
Lu Lingqi was seventy or eighty steps away from the city wall, and happened to enter the range of the bow and arrows, and as soon as she pulled the reins, the war horse advanced parallel to the city wall, pulling out the dense arrows that came as she ran. I ran two or three miles from the city gate.
Although Lu Lingqi showed off her martial arts, she was cautious, and all of them were picked off, and thousands of arrows were shot out of the long underground city defense line, and none of them were hit. After walking away, Lu Lingqi pulled out her horse again and galloped back, and the route she traveled was all the route of the war horses running when the Xiliang cavalry was attacking the city.
Zhou Yu seemed to have discovered something, and he was busy with his subordinates: "Stop!" Stop firing arrows, the enemy will be tricking them into firing arrows, so that the cavalry behind them can get closer......"
Zhou Yu's shouting slowed down for a moment, and the cavalry outside the city had already leaned up, raising his hand and releasing arrows into the city.
"Shoot back, shoot back!" General Jiangdong angrily scolded the soldiers, only to see that the archers had just released arrows to shoot Lu Lingqi, and now they were still bending their bows and arrows, so angry that they scolded: "You fools, don't you know how to take turns to shoot, and the firepower is constant?" ”
Woohoo......
The sharp whistling of the arrows outside the city frightened the soldiers who defended the city by shrinking their necks, shaking their hands, and letting go before the strings could be opened. The arrows fell weakly down the city.
"Ahh Ah......h
In the city, there were screams and screams.
"The whole army counterattacks, shoot!" Zhou Yu, escorted by a group of guards with shields, rushed to the wall and commanded the soldiers loudly.
"Bow and arrow suppression, Hugh let the enemy cavalry come closer!"
"Dadu Governor, the other party is cavalry, can Xiliang's war horse jump into the city? Let him shoot, the arrows are so dense that the soldiers can't lift their heads. A member of the Jiangdong general shouted at Zhou Yu from afar. Looking at a famous man who had just come out of the road with a few arrows stuck in his head, as a general, it was very painful. The relationship between the generals and the soldiers is very deep.
"Are you blind?" Zhou Yu didn't care about the image, and shouted: "Didn't you see that some cavalry have rope ladders?" Didn't you see the infantry behind the formation recommending ladders and siege engines approaching? ”
"Get up! All up. The generals who didn't care about the life and death of their troops punched and kicked the soldiers lying under the wall piers, and when they saw that they couldn't drive the soldiers to fight back, they craned their necks into the distance: "Where is the overseer?" ”
As soon as he heard the general call for the battle team, the soldiers defending the city were even more bloodless, and a bloody soldier suddenly jumped up and bent his bow towards the outside of the city.
"Poof, poof......"
He was just about to hide under the arrow stack, and several of them were lost in the middle of the door, and one arrow was stuck in each of his eyes and mouth, and he fell to the ground, which frightened the Jiangdong soldiers even more so that they did not dare to kick the atmosphere.
