Although the horse chopping knife is already very difficult among many types of knives, in the face of such a complete heavy weapon as the Kaishan Axe, in just two rounds, Xiahou Ba already felt that the tiger's mouth was sour, and it was a little difficult to grasp. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not to mention, the key gap lies in the gap in strength!

His own strength is similar to Yu Ban, if it weren't for the heavier weapons and the use of the Pu knife like Yu Ban, I'm afraid that it would be difficult to kneel at this moment......

The weight of the warrior's battle is not in the arm, but in the wrist.

The wrist is more flexible than the arm, but it is also more fragile. A few internal injuries and shocks are not enough to shake the generals on the battlefield - although it may take more time to recuperate after the war.

The important factor that really made Yu Ban unable to fight side by side with him was probably the fact that he forcibly stopped the opponent's main general, and the strength of the big axe injured his wrist, which was difficult to sustain.

Otherwise, how could this man who said he was going to die let himself die alone?

Another axe was chopped, Xiahou Ba used his horizontal knife as a shield, with the entire left shoulder and left arm as support, and also brought a backward step, which could be stopped. It's only half of the body, but it's already a little numb.

Is it really a deadly situation where if you are not careful, you will die......

Before he had time to catch his breath, the main general of Goguryeo on the opposite side continued to press mercilessly.

At the same time, another Goguryeo word roared out, and the soldiers who were still a little panicked immediately began to attack the city gate.

Li Cheng's subordinates were all foot soldiers, and they couldn't open the city gate, so they let the knights drive their horses and forcibly occupy the city gate with their flesh and blood.

However, due to the fact that Changli City itself does not have any large-scale city defense equipment, the distance of the Li family's army is a stone's throw away from the city. No matter how slow the legs are, they can't be too slow.

Therefore, just after the three-plate axe, even though he had the advantage, he found that he could not kill the enemy general, and the Goguryeo general did not consider any face problem at all, and without hesitation, he issued an order for the whole army to press and close the city gate as soon as possible.

Xiahou Ba naturally knew the joints well, and as soon as his eagerness rose, the bursting cheers behind him were already buzzing in this doorway:

"The rest doesn't matter! There I am! ”

can make Yu Wenze, who has always been deep and resolute, so disregard for manners, childe...... You've got to hurry!

Xiahou Ba sank down, did not look back, and did not pay attention to the Goguryeo soldiers who crossed directly from both sides, and the only thing in his eyes was the Goguryeo commander.

The duel between generals, or this kind of heavy weapon duel, has always been something that few soldiers dare to participate in; One is careless, the weapon swept past, where do you recognize whose child you are?

In the face of this axe, it is obviously the most unwise choice to eat it. But in line with the predicament of Fang Cai Yu Ban, at this time, you can't let yourself continue to retreat and vent your strength - Changli City is small, the so-called city gate hole, to put it bluntly, it is just a little deep, take a few more steps, and you will be forced out of the city!

Under the electric light, Xiahou Ba's eyes quickly glanced to the side, and suddenly turned sideways.

Hearing the intersection of knives and axes with the sound of the "bell", Xiahou Ba snorted, followed the direction of the side, and slammed straight into the cave wall.

An unlucky Goguryeo soldier didn't pay attention to this scene at all, and actually directly made Xiahou Ba's meat pad, and was squeezed against the wall fiercely, screaming miserably.

And although Xiahou Ba was also stuffy in his chest because of this, he did not hesitate to pull the horse chopping knife behind him and took the life of the Goguryeo soldier.

Getting out of the way is really a temporary and helpless move; But there will be no second chance of such a trick - if there is no such meat pad to separate it, it will not be so pleasant to hit the city bricks directly.

There is an even more important point......

The tip of the horse chopping knife was pressed against the city bricks, and with a fierce force, with this reaction force, Xiahou Ba stepped forward again in a blink of an eye.

People can retreat temporarily, but the gates of the city must not be lost!

If there is a second concession, it is difficult to say where this gate belongs.

Facing the contemptuous and cold eyes of the Goguryeo general, Xiahou Ba had already finished accumulating the horse chopping knife in the right rib, ready to fight hard, and suddenly the tip of his ear subconsciously moved, and in the noisy shouting and killing sound and the collision of weapons, a trace of discordant, but very regular noise, was instantly captured by him, and he involuntarily stopped his figure.

The Goguryeo general, the contempt on his face was even stronger, but he did not stagnate at all, and took advantage of the moment when Xiahou Ba seemed to be stunned, and the big axe of the mountain directly slashed away.

In a hurry, the horizontal knife blocked, and this time, Xiahou Ba was indeed shocked to the cave wall by this strong force. Not to mention the direct pain in his back, the dull pain of almost displacing his viscera almost made him lose his combat power!

However, just when the Goguryeo lord was about to take a step forward and end Xiahou Ba's life with an axe, the small sound, only for a moment, suddenly became clear, causing him to turn his head and look at it-

The arched structure of the gate makes it easy to drum the sound produced in it back and forth, so that it is difficult to catch the sound outside. Not to mention the horses that were almost crazy galloping, the speed of which was so fleeting that it was difficult to hear outside the city one second, and the next one rushed into the city gate, and then suddenly heard its sound.

Followed by a slightly immature, but hoarse roar: "Do it!" ”

From the back of the horse that was rushing wildly, a figure rolled down in disarray; On top of the horse's stock, a dagger remained, leaving only a small piece exposed, reflecting a pale red light.

Goguryeo's ordnance craftsmanship cannot be compared with the Central Plains. And these remaining sergeants naturally cannot possess the best quality equipment.

Even if the height bonus of the city wall is added, the effective range of the Goguryeo army's ordinary bows and arrows is calculated to the maximum, and one hundred and fifty steps is the top of the sky, so the Li family's army arrayed outside the city is based on this distance.

The distance of one hundred and fifty paces can be roughly regarded as a little more than two hundred meters now. Holding armor and equipment, and not elite, even if the Li Jiajun with a full foot formation runs with all his strength, it will take nearly a minute.

Even if there is no Western-style concept of the exact second, such a basic mental estimate is not difficult for both sides.

However, for horses, even if they are not good horses, under the completely reckless stabbing pain, the distance of one hundred and fifty paces only takes about one-third of the time of the foot soldier, and it can be reached!

Neither side expected that such a person and such a horse would rush into the battlefield of the city gate with such a posture.

So crazy, yet ...... So smart!

You must know that an adult horse weighs more than 600 catties; Coupled with the kinetic energy of sprinting with all his might, even with the courage of a county soldier, there is absolutely no way to be hard and not timid.

And in this doorway, the most central area was originally given to the main generals of the two sides in the battle. And Xiahou Ba happened to be shocked to the wall at this moment, which is equivalent to the entire passage, and the galloping horse is like a living cannonball, blasting straight towards the Goguryeo general!

There was no time to think about why Li Cheng appeared so disregarding his own safety, and there was no time to think about why he dared and really firmly grasped this fleeting opportunity.

As soon as the words of "hands-on" fell, a terrible hiss sounded.

The bright red that burst out instantly filled this small space, and it was the Goguryeo lord who directly split the horse under a hasty axe!

But the huge impact force still knocked him to the ground. And the slash instantly exploded the ordinary horse's blood, and it was even more splashed in the face to cover his entire face, making it difficult to open his eyes.

Ignoring the pain-numbing weakness and pain on his body and arms, Xiahou Ba gritted his teeth and stepped forward, grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands, and stabbed it hard at the face of the Goguryeo general!

Li Cheng, who was still half-kneeling on the ground, panting, couldn't help but tilt his head and not look at the disgusting picture.

Turning over from an extremely high-speed horse, and being able to avoid being knocked off, are excellent equestrian skills. At the moment, some soreness in the ankles, knees, and palms is not a big deal.

"Childe, why take the risk?"

Glancing beyond the city gate, those Goguryeo soldiers who had lost the courage to continue the attack because of the blood in front of them or because of the death of the main general, Yu Jian staggered back two steps, leaned against the wall, and asked softly.

Li Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The soldiers at the head of the city were forced to retreat step by step, but the city gate suddenly opened, how could you not think that it was the two of you who took the risk?" If it weren't for my fast horse, I don't know how long you would last, it's really nonsense......"

Li Cheng said, slowly stood up, waved his hand and said, "Wen Ze, you don't have to worry about me all the time, no matter what, I am also the only county soldier except for the two of you." Even if there is no other help, no matter how bad it is, one more of me can block it for a while. ”

Yu Ban was silent for a while, but quickly spoke: "If Zhongquan and the enemy general are fighting, how should Gongzi respond?" ”

"What's the solution?"

Li Cheng smiled helplessly but calmly.

"It's nothing more than pulling the reins, avoiding the two, and then dismounting and fighting. Even the two of you are gambling for your lives, how can I avoid it myself? After all, your gambling life is not for me......"

After a pause, Li Cheng's face turned sneering: "Of course, the matter of General Miaocai and King Wei, once I have the ability, I will not break my word." ”

Yu Ban stared at Li Cheng for a moment, shook his head slowly, straightened up with his knife, and walked towards Xiahouba. Only the plain but firm voice echoed clearly in this city gate hole:

"Even if it's just for the sake of the child, it's worth it...... However, please rest assured that no matter how difficult it is, Zhongquan and I will not easily lose this life. Please also ask the prince to trust us in the future, don't take such a risk again, this is the responsibility of the general, not the danger that the master should be. ”

Li Cheng watched a little stunned as Yu Ban stepped forward and stood side by side with Xiahou Ba. There were only two tired men, but they were like a steel wall, so that all the enemy troops could not afford to dare to cross it.

The reason why he is a great general is not only because of his bravery, nor is it not only because of military strategy, but because of ...... Pride also.

Li Cheng, who has always liked literature and history, inexplicably read such a passage in his mind.

It is a kind of self-confidence that even if it is suppressed in strength, changed time and space, and has gone through ups and downs, it is always accompanied by the confidence of a general...... Confidence in one's own strength, confidence in one's own strategy, and confidence in one's own indescribable feelings and judgments.

Based on this self-confidence, it is no wonder that there is such pride, which is deeply rooted in its bones!

Perhaps, as Yu Ban said, even without themselves, they are enough to support the arrival of reinforcements.
