Guan Xing didn't expect that he overestimated his soldiers this time, and he also underestimated the other party.
The number of soldiers under Zhu Huan's command was already large, and they were all elite Danyang elite soldiers, although Guan Xing's troops were also warriors, but they were still too much worse than them.
Although the soldiers under Guan Xing's command fought hard to the death, their weapons and armor were not as good as the other party's, and the individual soldiers were not as strong as the other party's, and their morale suddenly dropped a lot, so the situation was one-sided as soon as the two sides came into contact at the beginning, and in just an instant, these three thousand soldiers died three or four hundred.
Guan Xing saw such a battle situation, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart, knowing that if he continued to break through like this, I was afraid that there would be only one way for the whole army to be wiped out, he just groaned slightly, and then ordered the army to change the formation, forming a circular formation, with sword and shield soldiers in the outermost periphery, and then supplemented by pikemen, forming a defense, hoping to block the fierce attack of the enemy, and hoping that the enemy army could surround his side, and then find a way to find the weak point of its defense, and break through in one fell swoop.
But what Guan Xing didn't expect was that before the army could change its formation, Xu Sheng, who had fled in the wilderness before, led the army to come up from the back and launched a siege against him.
If it was just Xu Sheng, it would be easier to do, but what made Guan Xing feel most shocked was that there was a large group of people behind Xu Sheng, these sergeants had a neat lineup and a strong momentum, and they couldn't even see the edge as far as the eye could see. It looks like there are at least 10,000 of them.
"I didn't expect to meet Zhou Yu's main force this time, just because I can't avenge my father and brother. It's also a good option to go with them. Looking at the dazzling flags on the opposite side, there was even Zhou Yu's handsome flag. Guan Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly and thought silently.
However, although he has the will to die, Guan Xing does not want to let go of a chance to survive, at least even if he is not afraid of death, he must find a way out for the soldiers under his command, even if one person can escape back, it can be regarded as this effort has not been done in vain.
Therefore, Guan Xing has not given up. He continued to order the circular formation to be maintained, and secretly decided that if he could hold out until dark, he would lead the army to break through.
Fortunately, although the other party surrounded them like iron buckets, they did not immediately launch a large-scale attack, which made Guan Xing breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly thought: "It seems that the enemy army wants to besiege my subordinates and induce Zhang Junshi to send troops to rescue, but they also underestimate Zhang Ji, even I can see that this is Zhou Yu's plan, how can Zhang Ji not take precautions?" What's more, we have already agreed. Even if I die outside, he will never go out of the city to rescue, hehe. Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, you can be regarded as a miscalculation at this time, maybe it will bring us a glimmer of life. ”
In the following time, Guan Xing was not impatient, and ordered his soldiers to continue to defend step by step, and secretly ordered the two army commanders under his command to prepare to change formations and break through.
"Major General, wait a while, the general will stay in the palace, and he will be able to get off for a moment." A man with a scar on his face came to Guan Xing and said softly.
Guan Xing couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. looked at the man in front of him and knew that this person was a general saved by his father back then. named Jiao Ting, he said softly: "Jiao Ting." How can this work? There's only one way to stay here. ”
But he heard Jiao Ting and said: "Hehe, a certain life was given by Guan Ye, and now it is used to repay Guan Ye's son, and he died well, I only hope that the young general can avenge Guan Ye in the future, so that even if the last general dies, he can smile Jiuquan." ”
"Don't worry, I won't disappoint you." Guan Xing's eyes flashed with tears, and he said to Jiao Ting. He knew that now was not the time to be polite, and he had to make a decision on the spot to ensure that some of the soldiers would survive.
At this time, Guan Xing had already figured out that the defense due north was slightly weaker, probably because the enemy army would not expect him to dare to break through from the north, right? But it just gave him a chance.
Therefore, after getting dark, Guan Xing decisively ordered the main force of the army to change into a conical formation and break through from the direction of due north.
The 500 dead soldiers led by Jiao Ting formed a defensive line, struggling to resist the siege of the enemy army in the east, south, and west.
Guan Xing didn't dare to look at Jiao Ting and the five hundred dead soldiers behind him, and immediately led the army to launch the craziest breakthrough.
One man is desperate, ten thousand people are not in charge, perhaps because these two thousand people did not hesitate to break through the siege, the enemy army could not resist for a while, and they tore a gap alive, and then desperately fled to the pass.
After Guan Xing led the people to escape, tens of thousands of troops were united, and in an instant, Jiao Ting's 500 people were completely strangled, leaving no one behind.
"The enemy army is so strong, why should you let the major general go? Oh no, I'm afraid there's a conspiracy here. Thinking of this, Jiao Ting couldn't help but be frightened in his heart, and wanted to escape and report the news to Guan Xing, but he couldn't leave alive, his head was cut off by Xu Sheng, and he also saw that the big knife used in Xu Sheng's hand was the Qinglong knife used by Guan Yu back then.
"I didn't expect that I would die under Guan Ye's knife...... Jiao Ting's heart didn't know what it felt, but he couldn't think anymore, and the corpse fell weakly, and finally there was no difference from those dead soldiers.
Guan Xing naturally didn't know Jiao Ting's doubts, he led two thousand men and horses to gallop all the way to the pass, and then called to open and close the door, and led the army to enter, but he didn't expect that at this moment, hundreds of figures suddenly appeared from the shadows, and a few people cut the ropes on the suspension bridge, and then started a fight with the army at the gate.
Although the number of these hundreds of people was relatively small, because of the battle at the narrow city gate, and the fact that Guan Xing's soldiers were defenseless when they entered the pass, they gave the other party an advantage.
They began to brutally slaughter the chaotic Qin army, and then moved closer to the gate step by step, and killed the guards of the gate, and then divided more than 20 people to guard the city gate, and the rest fought hard to kill inside.
Guan Xing saw the chaotic situation in the door, and his heart was impatient, knowing that since the enemy army wanted to rush to close the door, there must be a large army behind him, if he did not block the enemy army at this time. Once the other party kills the door hole, I am afraid that Wuguan will be lost.
So Guan Xing made a quick decision and drew his sword to kill several soldiers who were about to escape. Then he shouted: "No one is allowed to flee again, and they will be dealt with by military law." ”
After that, Guan Xing ordered the soldiers to turn around and meet the enemy. At the same time, Zhang Ji was immediately notified to lead troops to help.
At this moment, only the sound of killing outside the pass could be heard, Zhou Yu led the army to respond, came to the wall, and suppressed the enemy army on the head of the city with bows and arrows.
Due to the blockade of the gate, there is no risk that the enemy army will go out of the city and destroy it. Therefore, Zhou Yu was relieved to boldly attack the city.
But after all, the city is only two or three miles long, the north of this pass is a high cliff, the south is a stream, as long as the enemy forces concentrate on the west wall, they can keep Wuguan safe and sound, so this time, although Zhou Yu tried his best, it is difficult to break through the pass.
Fortunately, the two sides are now fighting for the gate, which is the biggest reliance on Zhou Yu's army to win.
The soldiers under Guan Xing's command were trapped for most of the day. The water and rice have not been stained, and they are already exhausted, and now they are about to enter the customs. But it was blocked in the doorway, coupled with the ferocity of the enemy's attack, although he had to resist because he was afraid of the military order, he was powerless to resist at all, and within the effort of two pillars of incense, he was pushed by the other party more than ten zhang away, and the soldiers under Guan Xing's command were killed four or five hundred people.
"Kill!" I saw that Quan Cong, the leader of the hundreds of people under Zhou Yu's command, took the lead, wielding a sharp iron knife, slashing and slashing one obstacle after another. None of the enemy's soldiers could block his move, and next to Quan Cong were the elite soldiers under Zhou Yu's command. One by one, even compared to the Xiao Guards under Liu Qi's command, it is naturally effortless to deal with these untired troops. Therefore, the army is not slow.
Half an hour later, most of Guan Xing's 2,000 men and horses were killed, and the hundreds of people led by Quan Cong finally reached the other end of the doorway.
But Quan Cong knew that the next task would be even more difficult than it was now, because thousands of soldiers and horses had already gathered outside the doorway, and they all occupied the open field, where powerful archers, shield soldiers, and spearmen were deployed, and as soon as they walked out of the doorway, they would immediately be met with the most crazy counterattack.
But Quan Cong knew that the more at this time, the more they could not retreat, as a military general, it was his obligation and his glory to die on the battlefield and the horse leather shroud, so he did not hesitate and ordered the soldiers to follow behind him. Holding up his shield and holding his iron sword, he rushed forward without fear.
Fortunately, in order to reduce casualties and maximize the casualties of the enemy, the enemy actually sent archers in front. Instead of filling the door with infantry directly at the entrance of the door, form a formation to defend!
Although this kind of enemy formation allows them to kill and injure as many of their own soldiers as possible with the least losses, it gives them a space to defend in formation.
Quan Cong believed that as long as their army could have 100 people lined up at the same time, they would be able to deal with the enemy's 1,000 people.
In order to minimize casualties, Quan Cong ordered the sergeant to maintain the formation when he rushed out of the doorway, and never change the formation due to the sudden opening of the space.
The army advanced in a square formation, the soldiers held their shields, and quickly advanced, just an instant, they heard the sharp sound of breaking the air, and the arrows rained down for a while, many soldiers were also hit by arrows despite holding shields, but no matter who was hit by the arrow, they did not have a moment's delay, not even humming, and continued to move forward, the soldiers in front were killed by arrows, and the back did not hesitate at all, and rushed to the front row quickly, maintaining an intact formation.
Although these hundreds of people were extremely brave, but the enemy's bows and arrows were not weak at all, and when they rushed closer, three hundred people had already died in this arrow place, and the rest were less than a hundred, and even these hundred people, most of them were wounded by arrows, and some even hit more than ten arrows at the same time.
Quan Cong is the only one who stood in the front row from beginning to end without falling, this is not to say that his martial arts can dodge bows and arrows, but many soldiers are willing to block arrows for him at critical moments, even so, he has five arrow wounds on his body, although they are not critical, but it also brings him severe pain, especially the arrow shot in the thigh, which makes him move is a heart-piercing pain.
But Quan Cong did not lag behind, he led the army to the enemy's approach, and immediately waved his sword and shouted: "Brothers, kill me!" Kill all these thieves. ”
After saying that, Quan Cong waved the iron knife in his hand and immediately slashed towards an enemy soldier in front of him.
