――
Outside Liyang City, a large number of refugees are pouring into the city, and the city gates are about to be crushed, but the refugees are still like water, and they are always ongoing.
Yuan Shao had stationed the troops of Chaoge Qingshuikou to Liyang in order to respond to Chen Nuo and deter Han Fu, and when Chen Nuo said Jizhou, Yuan Shao took the seal ribbon in the hands of Han Fu's eldest son, and immediately led his troops to Ye County to take up his post. Although Yuan Shao was in charge of the Great Seal of Jizhou and the rebellion in the city was basically eliminated, in order to deter, Yuan Shao had to bring all the elites of his department to Jizhou to suppress the ground, and the defenders left in Liyang were only five or six hundred.
Yuan Shao had just taken over Jizhou for a short time, and he had to deal with many affairs, and Liyang's defense had not been able to attract his attention. The scale of Liyang City was originally small, and the defenders were small, but now so many refugees have poured in at once, how can they bear it? In less than two days, it was paralyzed, and chaos was in and out of the city.
When Chen Nuo came to Liyang City, there were still many refugees outside the city. In the end, the people are afraid of officials, and when those refugees saw Chen Nuo's gang, they also gave way one after another, not daring to fight. Fortunately, Chen Nuo was able to quickly approach Liyang City with his men. But seeing that by the moat in front of the city gate, the refugees were crowded on the suspension bridge, and the road was blocked, and Chen Nuo had to order his headquarters to stop.
Chen Nuo glanced up at the defenders in the city, all of them were listless, and they didn't pay attention to the refugees below, and even when he saw the sudden arrival of such an army, he only glanced at the banner of Chen Nuo's department symbolically, knowing that it was his own horses, and he didn't continue to pay attention to it.
What puzzled Chen Nuo was that there was already such chaos inside and outside the city, and how could it not restrict the influx of refugees. Although they are well-intentioned, it is not a way to go on like this, and since Chen Nuo knows the details, it is even more impossible to let the refugees continue to enter the city. He got off the horse and wanted to step forward to persuade those refugees, but unexpectedly, as soon as he said a word, the refugees who were doing good things next to him started to coax and actually surrounded them and fought.
If Chen Nuo hadn't urgently avoided it under the protection of Zhao Xue and others, he would have been eaten alive by these chaotic people. Seeing that the riots were incessant, Chen Nuo was horrified, these refugees were so presumptuous, they dared to be rude to the officers and soldiers, it seemed that they were really premeditated.
He hurriedly mounted his horse and shouted to the city: "Let your general come to me, and quickly stop the rebels from entering the city." ”
But it was too late, there was just a coaxing here, and suddenly there was smoke and dust in the rear, and the golden drum shook violently, and a group of people and horses took advantage of the chaos to kill them. These centaurs seemed to have been lying in ambush for a long time, and when they saw that the opportunity had come, they immediately killed them. At a cursory glance, there are at least more than 1,000 people, and they are relatively well-equipped, with spears and halberds, strong bows and crossbows.
The person who came was under the banner of Zhang Miao, and the general who led the team was surnamed Zhao, and sure enough, Chen Nuo guessed correctly, Zhang Miao finally came!
Zhao Xue and the others saw that the latecomers were not good, and they all urged Chen Nuo to enter the city as soon as possible before the thieves were killed. Of course, Chen Nuo knew that there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and it would be a great loss to make a move, but if he rushed into the city, then he had to quickly solve the refugees who were blocking the way in front of him. But in this way, it is really unbearable to fail to destroy the thieves and attack the people first. Even if he knew that not all of the people in this group were refugees, there must be a lot of spies sent by Zhang Miao mixed in, and since he couldn't tell the difference, he couldn't mess around.
There was chaos here, and there was a scuffle between the refugees and the defenders who had just poured into the city. The refugees were in a hurry to take refuge, but the defenders suddenly saw that there were thieves entering, and they did not dare to slack off, since they could not stop them, they had to quickly cut through the mess and raised the butcher's knife to the refugees. Soon, the front and back of the city gate were slashed, and the refugees had to retreat slightly, and by accident, they were already squeezed down the moat and swallowed by the murky water.
Seeing that the city gate was about to be closed, and the thieves were attacking, and the refugees fled in all directions, Chen Nuo had to make a decision immediately. Since there is no time left to enter the city, buy time for the defenders in the city. Only the gate of Liyang City is closed, even if the other party has more men and horses, as long as they defend it, they can still wait for Yuan Shao's rescue troops to arrive.
Having made up his mind, Chen Nuo immediately took a spear, shouted, and led his 1780 men into the heart of the enemy. According to the theory, there are more than 1,000 thieves in a gang, and all of them are well-equipped, and they are taking advantage of the chaos to attack, Chen Nuo led only a few people, he did not lead people to escape, but dared to kill backwards, which really surprised the other party.
General Zhao, who commanded the army, did not rush to the front, but supervised the battle behind. He saw that there was such a group of pawns who didn't know where to get in and killed, and he sneered contemptuously: "The mantis arm is a car, and I don't know how to die!" ”
The general surnamed Zhao waved his hand and gave an order. When a burly man next to him saw it, he immediately spat like thunder, followed by the sound of the urging war drums, and then the crossbowmen on the side of the general formed several rows and shot arrows into the sky together.
A round of arrows rained down, falling on the heads of Chen Nuo and his subordinates, and there was a thunderstorm.
I thought that under a series of bows and arrows, even if I couldn't let the thieves lose all their money, they would be lying in wait for corpses everywhere. But to his surprise, the opponent was able to protect the front with a sword and shield in time, and under the blows of the pikemen to the other infantry, he kept the formation intact, and actually held out for a few rounds, and few did not fall.
Now that the other side's infantry has already engaged the opponent in hand-to-hand combat, it is not good for him to shoot with bows and arrows. At the sound of an order, the bow and arrow stopped. The evil man retreated to General Zhao's side, like a door god, carrying a pair of dark iron halberds, watching the battlefield with wide eyes, and never moving again.
Although the number of Chen Nuo's subordinates is small, after all, they have already been reborn after Chen Nuo's one-month intensive training, and their combat effectiveness is extraordinary. In addition, their boss Chen Nuo was willing to rush forward with a spear, Zhao Xue and Han Meng were all vying for the lead, they were also infected by them, unconsciously putting their lives out of the way without knowing it, and daring to rush to kill.
One person is desperate, ten people are unstoppable, 100 people are desperate, and 1,000 people are not afraid.
Chen Nuo naturally understands this truth deeply, since there is no way out of the future, only by leading them out can he find a glimmer of hope. So, what is there to hesitate about? Under Chen Nuo's hard work, they finally let the enemy see what it means to be terrible, and the team of hundreds of people was actually stopped alive and died on the wide battlefield outside Liyang City, and they could not move forward.
Seeing that if it continues to be consumed, the gate of Liyang City will be closed, and if you don't take advantage of the chaos to rush in, you will lose the last chance. The general surnamed Zhao, who was in the back, finally couldn't wait, and he immediately sent a cavalry unit to suppress the formation.
There are only a few dozen people in this team in total, but they are his trump card, and they are ready to do the finale, and since it has reached a critical moment, he has to release them. The cavalry was divided into two groups, like the two wings of the infantry, and when the infantry fought the enemy, they spread their wings and outflanked them from the left and right. In this way, they really cut off the back road of Chen Nuo's department.
But Chen Nuo didn't think of retreating, he only knew moving forward.
He held a spear in his hand, using the Zhao family's marksmanship taught to him by Zhao Xue, and kept rushing and killing, which was really to the point of forgetfulness. also responded to the sentence that the knife should be sharpened and the gun should be practiced, although after a burst of slashing, two guns have been broken, but it has made him more and more handy, and the spear in his hand seems to have become one with him. The Zhao family's marksmanship has been made for a long time, and it has become more and more exquisite, so the power naturally continues to rise.
Zhao Xue likes to use short swords, although she is in the army, she does not change her usual habits. On the battlefield, she is petite, and she deliberately hides her true identity, and her short figure and her short sword really become a perfect match. There are many thieves who don't know how powerful she is, and they want to deliberately find fault with her, but most of them are self-defeating.
No matter how the battlefield changed, she never left Chen Nuo's surroundings from beginning to end, always protecting him and blocking his arrows at any time. Chen Nuo's marksmanship was given to him by her, and when she saw him use it before, he was still blunt and blunt, which was not reassuring at all. But when Chen Nuo used it repeatedly and his marksmanship was refined, not only did he block arrows less often, but sometimes he had to rely on him to block the murder weapon for her.
At this moment, Zhao Xue also had to look at her 'apprentice' differently. Although Chen Nuo's power was still far from that of his brother Zhao Yun, it was not easy for him to learn this level in such a short period of time. In time, we will be able to do something.
Compared with Zhao Xue, Han Meng didn't care about anything except desperately. He was originally accustomed to killing the enemy with his bare hands, but at this time, he grabbed a big knife in his hand, brandished it, and rushed all the way, killing at the forefront to open the way for Chen Nuo.
There was a bloody battle under the city, and on the city, the defenders of Liyang desperately hunted the refugees, and under the resistance of Chen Nuo and others, they bought enough time for them. Seeing that the city gate was about to be completely closed, and the cavalry cruising behind Chen Nuo's troops outside the city could not pull out the nail for a while, the general surnamed Zhao had to change his strategy, and let people hear that this group of cavalry gave up encircling and suppressing Chen Nuo and them with the sound of golden drums, and instead rushed straight to the suspension bridge.
With the help of horsepower, the cavalry rushed to the drawbridge by the moat in less than a moment. At this moment, the refugees are scattered and scattered, and the rest are crowded on the suspension bridge, some want to step forward, some want to retreat. This did not only make it impossible for the defenders of the city to pull up the drawbridge, but also made it impossible for the cavalry outside the city to rush in.
The cavalrymen, armed with spears and bows and arrows, came to the front, suddenly stopped, returned their guns and arrows, and fired indiscriminately at the refugees inside and outside the drawbridge. In an instant, the water of the moat whimpered and dyed red.
Zhang Miao's cavalry had not yet entered the city gate, but Chen Nuo's troops had finally broken through the siege and killed behind enemy lines.
Capture the thief and capture the king first, the principle since ancient times.
Chen Nuo brandished his spear and commanded everyone to rush straight to the general behind the enemy.
At this moment, everything that can be sent out has been dispatched, and there are only a hundred people left around General Zhao, although the two sides are not much different in number, but they are completely different in momentum. Chen Nuo came with a strong pawn, and everyone almost came with injuries, and the whole person was like taking a blood bath. They are fierce and killing, just afraid that the ghost will avoid three points when they see it, let alone their flesh and blood.
General Zhao held the hilt of the sword in his hand, and when he saw Chen Nuo's sudden appearance, he was also so frightened that his palms were sweating. He didn't know what to do, but fortunately, the evil man beside him shouted and asked the others to protect the general, and he rushed forward alone.
The sword has no eyes, but the wicked man doesn't seem to want to look at it at all, the arrows fly, block with his bare hands, swords and guns. If you stab it, raise your hand to pick it up. He actually rushed into Chen Nuo's array with the strength of one person, breaking Chen Nuo's sword and shield array, but it was like entering a no-man's land.
Chen Nuo was also shocked, and asked in the horse: "Who is coming?" Hurry up and get your name on! ”
The evil man snapped his fist, directly shattering the helmet of one person, breaking the Heavenly Spirit Cover. He walked forward, lifted a person, and roared loudly to Chen Nuo's side: "I am Chen Liudianwei, who dares to hurt my general!" ”
Before he could say a word, he saw a man carrying a bloody knife and slashing over. He narrowly avoided it, jumped away, and glared at the visitor. I saw that the person who came was full of stubble, and although his body was not very tall, he was extremely strong. His arms were as thick as pillars, and his strength was great.
Dian Wei usually dominates the township with strength, but today it is rare to meet an opponent, the green light in his eyes is rushing, and it seems that his hands are already itchy.
It was Han Meng who jumped out, and after he swung out the knife, he glanced at Dian Wei left and right, and he was also extremely excited, and he snorted a few times, finding a certain feeling. He threw the knife away, pounced directly, and hugged Dian Wei, both of them used great force, wanting to knock the other party down with one blow.
But once they are entangled, their strength is balanced, and it is difficult to separate for a while. Seeing him fight and roll on the ground, there was a cloud of smoke and dust on the ground. Some soldiers still wanted to secretly attack with guns, but they were soon either poisoned by Dian Wei or Han Meng, and none of them succeeded.
Originally, the duel between the two males was only between the two males, but suddenly there was one more person, so what was the matter? And the big battlefield, because of the mutual fight between Han Meng and Dian Wei, also opened up a small battlefield for them, and no one dared to approach it easily.
Just because of Dian Wei's killing, he blocked the rhythm of Chen Nuojun's rushing and killing, and was killed by the thieves, and the situation suddenly became embarrassing. If he can't get out of the predicament quickly, I'm afraid that when the thieves come around before and after, Chen Nuo's efforts will be in vain.
He naturally knew that Dian Wei was powerful, and although Han Meng could hold him back for a while, he was afraid that he was not his opponent.
Sure enough, after a period of beating, Han Meng's body had many wounds, but they finally cracked open under the violent movement, and blood spilled all over the ground. Dian Wei pushed Han Meng's basin to the ground with a reverse elbow, and the dust was fluttering, and he couldn't see Han Meng's distorted face clearly.
Dian Wei stared at the beads of his eyes and tried his best to exert pressure, Han Meng tried to resist many times, and was about to counter the evil tiger of Dian Wei just now, but because of his lack of strength, he was pressed back by Dian Wei again. Dian Wei picked up his fist and smashed it on Han Meng's face, poor Han Meng's face was suddenly covered with blood, and his eyes were so stabbed that he couldn't open them. But the cruel thing is that the blood and water are sprinkled out like a pillar, and it can't be stopped.
Although Han Meng roared angrily, he couldn't deter the other party. I don't know if he was crazy or stupid, but he was beaten to death and laughed: "Happy! Joyfully! ”
Dian Wei's fist stopped in mid-air and did not continue to strike. If Han Meng begged him for mercy, he might have to beat him to death, which was not a pity. But people didn't ask for mercy, but laughed and looked at it, which was impossible for Dian Wei.
Regardless of whether it was a hero or not, Dian Wei put down his fist anyway and jumped up. Of course, at this time, the helper sent by Chen Nuo had already arrived. Zhao Xue flew snow with a sword and went straight to the door of Dian Wei. Her move was sharp and fierce, and finally forced Dian Wei to use weapons to deal with it.
Zhao Xue shot a sword, and in the midst of the lightning and fire, Dian Wei roared, thrust his hands into his back, and pulled out a pair of snow-bright iron halberds. With a bang, the iron halberd burst out with a majestic momentum, hitting Zhao Xue's sword like a thunderbolt. Zhao Xue's body immediately flew out of Zhangyuan, if it hadn't been caught by Han Mengteng, he would have almost lost his horse's front hooves.
Zhao Xue looked at the hands holding the sword, the blood beads on the tiger's mouth overflowed, her eyebrows trembled, and her face was full of fear for a moment. He must not be allowed to get close to Chen Nuo, otherwise Chen Nuo will be in danger. He and Han Meng glanced at each other, as if they had a heart, they both let out a long breath, shouted, and rushed up again, pinching Dian Wei with a rigid and soft force, hoping to temporarily block this evil god.
Han Meng and Zhao Xue fought against Dian Wei and dragged Dian Wei back, Chen Nuo also temporarily put his mind at ease, and he commanded the rest of the men and horses to rush towards the other party's main general. The other party's general surnamed Zhao relied on Dian Wei to block the enemy for a while, and finally made the surrounding people urgently move closer to his side. Now that he has gathered a lot of people around him, he has finally relaxed a little and has not messed up.
It's just that he would never have thought that the opposing youngster would only know how to rush forward and not turn at all. Seeing that they were about to kill the approach, he was also frightened, although he was still reluctant to leave, but he was already shocked by the momentum of Chen Nuo's troops when they killed the enemy.
He frowned and reported his name: "This general is Sima Zhao Pet, a subordinate of Lord Zhang Mengzhuo, who was ordered to take over Liyang City. Who are you, why do you want to go with me Lord Zhang? If you are not an enemy, please walk away quickly, I will not pursue it! ”
Chen Nuo shouted loudly in his busy schedule: "It turned out to be Zhang Mengzhuo, Sima Zhao, and Pet!" If you leave today, since you have the courage to come to take Liyang, then it is best to have a life to be able to go back! ”
It's okay not to ask, but when he heard that the young man on the other side was actually the legendary Chen Nuo, he was also frightened. He stretched out his sleeves to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, and his eyes were full of anxiety. He looked at the battlefield, although Dian Wei had the upper hand, he was entangled by two people, one on the left and one on the right, and it seemed that he couldn't get out of trouble for a while. Since he couldn't count on him, and the thieves were about to kill him, he was also flustered.
Looking at Liyang City again, although his cavalry has solved the obstacles on the drawbridge, the city gate has been closed at this moment, and many cavalry still want to shoot at the archers in the city, but most of them have already died, and seeing that the overall situation has been decided, it is irreversible. At this time, Zhao Pet couldn't care about anything else, and pulled the people, so he ordered the withdrawal of the army.
Seeing that Zhao Pet withdrew his troops, and his subordinate Dian Wei was still left in battle, fighting for his main general. There were people around Zhao Pet who couldn't look past it and wanted to remind him, but Zhao Pet's neck stiffened and glared at the man: "Is it so easy for so many people to want to leave?" If the defenders in the city suddenly open the city to meet the battle at this moment, how can we evacuate safely? Leave Dian Wei, at least you can resist the thieves for a while......"
He didn't want to waste his words, so he turned around and urged the army to retreat.
Dian Wei was besieged, and seeing Chen Nuo chasing after his general step by step, he didn't know the situation, thinking that he was forced like that by Chen Nuo. He roared, desperately broke free of Han Meng and the others, and left them to chase after Zhao Chong.
"Dian Wei is out of trouble, he catches up."
Someone behind Zhao Pet reminded him, hoping that he could run slower and let someone pick up Ying Dian Wei. But in Zhao Chong's view, Dian Wei is afraid of death. Where did he care about him, but he was bent on running away, and he should not have heard it at all.
Although Han Meng and Zhao Xue barely stopped Dian Wei for a while just now, neither of them was Dian Wei's opponent, and they couldn't do anything when they saw Dian Wei get out of the encirclement. Both of them were injured to varying degrees at the moment, and it was too late to chase them, so they had to grab a horse each and urgently move closer to Chen Nuo, after all, protecting Chen Nuo was their most important task.
It's just that the two of them haven't had time to get close to Chen Nuo's body, but they suddenly heard an exclamation, it turned out that Zhao Pet was shot off the horse with an arrow in the chest, and his subordinates were in chaos in an instant.
