(2) Shoujiuyuan Gao Shun shows his ability, and raises his halberd to be brave
In front of Jiuyuan City, the commander of the coalition army, Chahantai, surrounded by seven fierce generals such as Budugen, Kequ, and Tanbineng, shouted to Gao Shun stationed on the city tower in the middle of the formation: "The barbarians in the city, quickly open the city and surrender, otherwise our army will attack the city, and Jiuyuan City will not be left behind!" ā
"Yo roar roar!" Qiu Li, the great vanguard of the coalition army, suddenly raised his mace, and the 20,000 wolf horsemen behind him shouted in unison, the sound shook the heavens and the earth, and the soldiers defending the city all felt bursts of cold air in their hearts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Seeing that the morale was frustrated, Gao Shun whispered to Cao Xing: "General Cao, I will know that you are excellent at archery, can you kill the vanguard general of the enemy army with arrows and boost the morale of our army!" When Cao Xing heard this, he immediately opened his bow and set up an arrow, only to hear a "whoosh" sound, and a feather arrow pierced the air and went straight to Qiu Li's sudden door.
I thought that the barbarians defending the city were all greedy for life and afraid of death, but Qiu Li suddenly did not expect that the generals in the city would have such archery skills. Although he didn't have time to swing his mace to block the feathered arrows, he had been on the battlefield for a long time, and when he heard the sound, he immediately turned sideways on his horse. Qiu Litu only felt that his cheeks were hot, and the arrow did not stop after a bloody mark on his face, and rushed straight towards the soldier holding high the vanguard banner behind Qiu Litu, only to hear a miserable scream, the soldier fell straight from his horse, and Chahantai saw his vanguard banner fall down from a distance.
"Good! Good! Good! The momentum of the Han soldiers in the city immediately rose. Although Gao Shun was happy in his heart, he still responded to Chahantai with a solemn expression: "Today, you Hulu soldiers besiege Jiuyuan City, all because of my Gao Shun's dereliction of duty, even if I will die today, I will definitely surrender to you barbarians." I only have generals who died in battle, no cowards who surrendered, if you want to fight, I Gao Shun and 6,000 soldiers of Jiuyuan City will accompany you to the end! Gao Shun's words, sonorous and powerful, suddenly aroused the heart of all the soldiers to kill the enemy and serve the country, and a majestic voice sounded one after another on the city tower: "I will follow the general to the death!" ā
Chahantai closed his eyes in disappointment, it seemed that his plan to use his superior forces to make a forced landing on the Han army defenders had failed, and after a moment of silence, he raised his head sharply and ordered in a resolute voice: "Attack!" ā
For a while, the rumbling war drums resounded in the sky, and Qiu Litu, who had long been annoyed and angry, waved his mace again and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Warriors of the grassland, attack!" With that, he took the lead in urging the war horse under his crotch, and rushed to the city gate with a howl. The soldiers of the Han army on the city wall saw that the Qianghu cavalry was as dense as a dark cloud, urging the war horses to use it like a tide, and a large number of infantry held high ladders and siege vehicles mixed with the cavalry to advance in an orderly manner.
"Cao Xing, pass on my general's order, the enemy army is fifty steps away from the city to release arrows, thirty steps to roll stones, spearmen are ready to deal with the enemy's ladder, and push up all the tung oil that was boiled overnight last night!" In the face of the crazy attack of the coalition forces, although Gao Shun's palms were covered with a cold sweat, he still commanded in an orderly manner. Cao Xuan took 800 archers to lie at the entrance of the female wall, and the bows and arrows in his hands were already full, all aimed at the enemy. Gao Shun himself stood with the family heirloom Qinglong spear and six hundred spearmen in his hand, closely watching the enemy's movements. As the first group of enemy troops came into range, Gao Shun raised his gun and shouted, "Shoot the arrows!" ā
Wearing the Tang Yi armor given by Ding Yuan, Lu Bu urged Dawan Ma to hold Fang Tian's painting halberd and rode alone to the outside of Jiuyuan City, just when Cao Xing shot down the enemy's vanguard banner with an arrow, Lu Bu couldn't help but applaud, although he didn't see who released the arrow, but according to Zhang Liao's intelligence earlier, he had learned that Gao Shun and his deputy general Cao Xing were defending the city, and Lu Bu concluded that this arrow must have been sent by Cao Xing, and the experience of being familiar with the Three Kingdoms made him sincerely appreciate Cao Xing's ability, after all, this person shot a blind eye of the famous general Xiahou Dun with a hard bow!
Watching the siege soldiers fall down one by one, the erected ladder was pushed down by the spearmen before they could climb, and the only few siege vehicles were also blocked by the hot tung oil 30 steps away from the city gate, Chahantai couldn't help frowning, thought hard for a while, turned to Kequ beside him and said: "Senior, it's time for you barbarians to see the power of your Xianbei war horses!" Ke Qu nodded, beckoned to the Xianbei warrior Misu who was guarding the side, and said, "Let our warriors mount!" Misu nodded, raised the horse chopping knife he snatched from the Han general in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Xianbei war horse, go out of battle!" ā
Seeing the Xianbei war horse with a scimitar and a hard crossbow rushing towards Jiuyuan City in an inverted cone, Lu Bu's heart tightened: It's not good, this Xianbei war horse is planning to use projectiles to suppress the archers on the city tower and assist in the attack. Sure enough, Cao Xing in the city was raising his bow and arrows, and suddenly felt a pain in his left arm, and looked down, only to see a crossbow arrow about 6 inches long inserted into his left arm, and blood was flowing out. "!" Cao Xing scolded angrily, raised his right hand and pulled out a crossbow arrow, and tore off a rag from the bottom of his robe to bandage the wound.
The soldiers of the city fell one after another, and new crossbowmen rose up to the rain of arrows. The wounded soldiers volunteered to assist the military doctor in removing the bodies of the fallen soldiers from the city. Seeing this scene, Gao Shun raised his hand and fired a shot, brushed away the short arrow that was shot at the guards around him, and roared angrily: "Catapult, smash it for me!" ā
Huge catapults operated under Gao Shun's orders, and the heavy stones smashed into the cavalry formation of the Xianbei war cavalry with a roar, and for a while, the elite Xianbei cavalry fell off their horses one after another, and more than 300 cavalry who rushed to the front were smashed into meat sauce by the boulders. Taking advantage of the chaos of the enemy's arrow array, the spearmen rushed out of the protection of the shield soldiers, and used the sickle hook guns in their hands to overturn the cloud ladders on the city wall one by one, and the Qianghu soldiers who climbed in the air fell down one after another with the screams of the cloud ladders.
"Oops!" Ke Qu anxiously patted the saddle, these are his carefully trained war horses, if he competes with the enemy on the plain, he is completely sure that he can completely destroy the enemy army, but in the face of the tough battle, his war horse has no advantage at all except for long-range projectiles that can suppress the enemy army. Seeing Kequ's distressed expression on his face, Chahantai rode his horse to his side and patted him on the shoulder: "Senior, I know that these 20,000 war horses are your essence blood, since they can't play a role, let your war horses withdraw!" Listening to Chahantai's words, Kequ glanced at him gratefully, waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to blow the Xianbei special horn, and the Xianbei warriors got the order and retreated.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, let's let the warriors of the Ding Ling Department and the Hun Geng Department attack!" Budugen and Tanbi can ask Zhandao, "These barbarian methods are almost exhausted, at this time, we will be able to break through the city gate and kill the barbarian guards." When Chahantai saw the two siege vehicles in front of the city gate that were ignited by tung oil and rockets, his brows tightened, and he didn't care to respond to the two, so he immediately ordered: "Order the whole army to retreat and camp five miles." As soon as these words came out, the coalition soldiers around him were shocked, and Bu Dugen's eyes widened: "Your Royal Highness, now is the best time to conquer Jiuyuan City, if you withdraw at this time, wouldn't it give these barbarians time to breathe?" The rest of the crowd also chimed in: "Yes, Your Highness, give the order to attack quickly." ā
Chahantai pointed to the burning siege vehicle in front of the city gate and asked everyone: "If the people on our grassland talk about conquest, there is no one in the world who is invincible, the only drawback is the lack of skilled craftsmen among these barbarians, these three siege vehicles and more than a dozen ladders were taken from the barbarians by my father who sacrificed more than 1,000 grassland warriors, and now the siege vehicles have been destroyed two, and the ladders are almost all lost, I ask you, lost the siege vehicles, without the ladders, with the war horses alone, how many warriors do we have to sacrifice to take Jiuyuan City!" After listening to Chahantai's words, everyone reacted and rode back to their respective tribes. The spearmen on Jiuyuan City worked together to knock down the last ladder, looked up, and found that the Qianghu coalition army was forming a battle formation and slowly retreating, and Qiu Litu, the great vanguard of the coalition army, was leading 800 cavalry to tightly surround the last siege vehicle in the center and retreat with the army.
"General, do you want to open the city gate, the last general will lead a thousand elite horsemen to kill and destroy their last siege vehicle." Cao Xuan walked up to Gao Shun with his arm and asked. Gao Shun shook his head, looked around at the soldiers defending the city who had suffered heavy casualties, and said to Cao Xing: "Forget it, you see that almost two-thirds of the more than 2,000 soldiers defending the city have been killed, and the rest are all wounded, the most important thing at the moment is to preserve every combat strength and strictly prevent the enemy from attacking and sneaking up at night, Cao Xing, you order to go down ......" "General, look!" Before Gao Shun finished speaking, a soldier shouted loudly, Gao Shun thought that the enemy army was going and returned, and immediately picked up the green dragon spear and looked up in combat readiness.
I saw a red lightning rush from the southwest to the enemy's cavalry formation, and the coalition soldiers turned on their backs wherever they went. I don't know which one was the first to shout: "Lord Ding's reinforcements are here!" There was a round of applause on the castle tower!
It is said that when Lu Bu saw that the enemy's siege vehicles were destroyed and two of them were destroyed, and that the coalition soldiers began to retreat, he expected that the Qiang-Hu coalition army chose to retreat temporarily because of the serious loss of siege equipment, so he took advantage of the low morale of the enemy army to wave Fang Tian's halberd and rush into the enemy formation.
"Phew! Where did the barbarians come from, how dare they come here to die! Manchaton, the leader of the reflexion division who was in charge of the defense of the right flank of the cavalry, couldn't help but feel contempt when he saw that the other party dared to rush into his own battle formation single-handedly. I saw that before he could raise his sword, Lu Bu's Fang Tian Painting Halberd appeared in front of him, and with the neighing of Dawan Horse, Manchaton's headless torso fell off the horse. Lu Bu did not stop, and with a wave of his halberd, he cut down the other two leading lieutenants of the bending department, and rushed to the plough department in the rain of arrows.
"Report, Your Royal Highness the Prince, a barbarian general suddenly rushed out of the right flank of our army's cavalry formation, and rode into the battle formation alone, and has already killed the leader of my tribe and is heading to the salary plow!" The scouts of the refractive division had just arrived in front of Chahantai and the others to report the military situation, and the scouts of the salary plough department also hurried over: "Your Royal Highness, the red-clothed barbarian has already killed the leader of my tribe and the two captains, and now he has killed the Benhun Division!" Before Bu Dugen, the leader of the Hun Gen Clan, who was standing beside Chahantai, had time to catch his breath, he saw the scout of the headquarters coming from the bloody Zema: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Chief, the four captains of my Hun Gen Department were all killed by the red-clothed barbarian general!" ā
Tanbineng threw down the horsewhip in a rage and pulled out a scimitar from his waist: "Bastard, when did our warriors on the grassland become lambs to be slaughtered?" Warriors of Ding Lingbu, follow me to slay that barbarian! As he spoke, he didn't care whether Chahantai agreed or not, and urged the horse to rush forward. Gao Shun Cao and the soldiers on the city tower were even more enthusiastic when they saw it, and they all discussed: "Who is this person?" When did I have such a figure in the state army? "Yes, even General Zhang Liao can't come and go so freely!" Cao Xuan said to Gao Shun: "I don't know where Lord Ding found such a person, he is really an overlord in the world!" ā
"Tell the great vanguard, the right flank of our army suddenly killed a barbarian general, using a strange-shaped weapon, and has already killed the two leaders of the bending and the plow, and the four captains!" A scout Pegasus rushed up to Chulitu and bowed. Before the words fell, another scout rushed over panting: "The Great Vanguard, the four leading captains of the Hun Geng Department were also beheaded by that barbarian general!" When Qiu Li suddenly heard this, he looked at the chaotic cavalry behind him with murderous eyes, gritted his teeth and asked, "How many men and horses did the barbarian bring with him?" The two scouts replied in unison: "Tell the Great Vanguard, there is only one man and one horse!! "What?" Qiu Litu could hardly believe his ears, one man and one horse could kill 10 of my generals in a row, including two tribal leaders. Qiu Li suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, completely forgetting the task of guarding the siege engine, and turned to the guards and roared: "Warriors, follow me to take back the dignity of the steppe warriors!" ā
Lu Buyang picked up the spear in Tan Bineng's hand with a halberd, and then stopped the long halberd that was rowing upwards with amazing strength, pressed down with his backhand, and the sharp crescent blade went straight to Tan Bineng's face. Scanning the corpses of the three Ding Zero Lieutenants who fell to the ground with his peripheral vision, Tan Bineng closed his eyes in despair, and suddenly a loud shout sounded in his ears, he opened his eyes and found that the mace of the great pioneer Qiu Litu had blocked in front of him, and he was overjoyed, but before he could say a few words to the barbarian general, he saw a burst of white light in front of him, and Tan Bineng fell off the horse with a smile.
Qiu Li suddenly felt that his arm was sore, and there was a sharp pain in the tiger's mouth, he thought that he could take Lu Bu's halberd with all his might, but he never thought that Fang Tian's halberd would actually press down the hammer head of the mace, and smash Tan Bineng off the horse by inertia. Lu Bu took back Fang Tian's painting halberd, looked at the crescent blade that was still smooth and sharp, and couldn't help but secretly exclaim: it is worthy of being an overlord, and it is worthy of the word divine soldier. Seeing Qiu Litu's bleeding hands with a broken mouth, Lu Bu smiled and said to him: "You are very good, but unfortunately, you are still not my opponent!" "You ......" Qiu Litu wanted to refute, but suddenly felt a light in his hand, this 60-pound mace, and the hammer head was actually cut off by Lu Bu with Fang Tian's halberd. Qiu Litu threw the mutilated mace and looked at Lu Bu unwillingly: "Let's do it!" ā
Lu Bu turned around and went straight to the military formation of Chahan Taizhong to kill him, and his heroic voice lingered in Qiu Litu's ears for a long time: "I will respect you as a good man, don't deceive you unarmed, quickly go and find the weapon in your hand to fight with me again." ā
"Kequ, quickly let your Xianbei cavalry shoot, and block that barbarian general with a hard crossbow!" Seeing that after Lu Bu defeated Qiu Litu, he rushed to the Chinese cavalry formation like entering a no-man's land, Bu Dugen hurriedly grabbed Kequ's horse reins, "Don't let him rush over!" The safety of His Royal Highness the Prince must be guaranteed" Ke Qu looked at the almost crazy Bu Dugen, and waved his hand in a panic and refused: "You are crazy, the other party only has one person and one horse, and it is mixed in my army formation, if you throw it, it will definitely kill my warriors in vain!" ā
"Drive!" While the two were arguing, the commander of the coalition army, Chahantai, waved his spear and urged his war horse to rush to Lu Bu with three hundred guards to kill him.
Lu Bu swept out of the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, swept the six cavalry in front of him off his horse, and suddenly saw a young man of his age rushing towards him, holding a spear in his hand and wearing a special leather armor made by Qianghu, standing in front of him without fear. Cha Hantai carefully looked at Lu Bu and saw that his handsome face was still a little immature, and he knew that he was leading the troops at the same time as himself, but the difference was that he was more focused on the battle formation, while the other party relied on his own bravery.
"If my expectations are correct, you are the commander of this coalition army, Chahantai!" Lu Bu put Fang Tian's halberd on his horse and asked with a smile. Chahantai also smiled back: "Yes, it's a pity that I don't know your name yet!" "Well, it will be Lu Bulu Fengxian, the captain of the Fenwu Colonel under the command of Ding Jianyang, the assassin of the Great Han Dynasty and the Prefecture!" Lu Bu stood up and roared wildly in the sky, and his proud momentum made everyone present retreat.
"Ahh Just when everyone was engrossed in the conversation between the two, they only heard a scream from the coalition army, and then billowing smoke rose, and it was Gao Shun who personally led two thousand war horsemen out of the city to burn the last siege vehicle of the coalition army with tung oil, so far, all the siege equipment of the coalition army was destroyed. The Qiang-Hu coalition army, which had lost its fighting spirit, was quickly defeated in the face of Gao Shun's brave charge, and Cao Xing also commanded the catapult to cooperate with Gao Shun's attack on the city tower. For a time, the corpses of the coalition army were all over the field.
"General Lu, you single-handedly killed 14 generals of our army among our ten thousand troops, and seriously injured the vanguard of our army, I Chahantai admire your bravery." Chahantai immediately saluted and said, "It's a pity that you and I met in such an capacity, on another occasion, I have made up your friend!" "Hahaha!" When Lu Bu heard this, he also bowed his hand and saluted back: "Your Royal Highness, you dare to come to me even if you know that you are invincible, and I also admire your courage." However, now that Jiuyuan City alone has caused heavy losses to your 70,000 allied troops, and the siege equipment has been destroyed, do you still have the confidence to continue fighting? ā
"This!" Looking at the all-incapable coalition soldiers, Chahantai was a little hesitant, originally he did not agree with the eldest brother Wuli Kunyi's plan to attack Jiuyuan County this time, but his father was moved by the eldest brother's words, and Li Lingzhi wanted to lead his troops south, so he had to lead the army here, the current situation is as Lu Bu said, the 70,000 army suffered heavy losses, and all the siege equipment was destroyed, and the leaders of the seven tribes counted themselves and there were only two left, and the general Qiu Litu was also seriously injured...... "Your Royal Highness!" Budugen rode his horse to Chahantai's side, and whispered in his ear: "I just received a report from the scout, Han Fu of the Great Han Dynasty Jizhou Assassin Shi, Hanoi County Taishou Wang Kuang and Yuzhou Assassin Shi Kong Yu gathered nearly 150,000 allied troops to prepare troops to attack our army in Jiuyuan County in three ways. ā
"Ahh Looking at Lu Bu's murderous smile, Chahantai clenched his fists, and a trace of cold sweat slid down his arm and onto the back of his hand.
