The sun has sunk in the west, and at the head of the city, several Cao soldiers who rushed up from the cloud ladder saw their brother, who was now being stabbed to death by a young enemy general, and behind his brother's back, the tip of a blood-stained spear was dripping red blood there, full of anger made them lose their minds, and the five people rushed to Sun Shao, who had killed countless enemies.

At this moment, Sun Shao was exhausted, the murderous aura in the eyes of the five enemy soldiers was as fierce as substance, Sun Shao pulled out the gun hard, but Sergeant Cao, who was stabbed to death by him, was unwilling to use all his strength to grab the barrel of the gun, and the spear could not be pulled out at all.

Sun Shao, who was in a hurry, didn't seem to be surprised by the enemy's killing intent, but at this time he had no strength in his whole body, and he involuntarily retreated, but the corpse behind him tripped him, and Sun Shao, who lost his center of gravity, suddenly fell backwards, and the sudden change made Sun Shao, who had been in a hundred battles, scream and scream.

At this moment, a captain beside Sun Shao slashed down, and an enemy soldier who had just exposed his head from the city was beheaded by him, and the head that left the body rolled in the air a few times and was smashed to the ground, and the body sprayed with blood lost the control of the brain, and fell diagonally to the city, and the Cao soldiers below did not look at it, and continued to climb to the city wall.

"General, are you alright?" The lieutenant helped up Sun Shao, who had fallen into the blood, and asked with concern.

At this moment, countless Cao soldiers were not afraid of death to charge towards the top of the city tower, due to the fierce battle for nearly a day, the Wu army, which was already very small in number and had not rested all night, was already difficult to resist, and it seemed that it was not a matter of time to attack the city tower.

"Are you my general? How can it be so strange? Sun Shao's chest was pressed against his back when he was tired, and he could only rely on the Miao knife in his hand to support it.

The captain looked quite majestic, not like the Wu people in the south. "The last general, Hao Zhao, is the old department of General Zhang Liao in the past, and surrendered to the metropolitan governor during the Battle of Hefei!"

Sun Shao seemed to remember something, and said, "But the captain who was in a coma in the school field that day? ”

"Exactly!"

It turned out that on that day, Qiao Ren personally fed the decoction on the school field, and the general of Cao Jun, who was Jing Jing, was the famous general of the Later Three Kingdoms, Hao Zhao. (According to the Shanxi Tongzhi, Hao Zhao accompanied Zhang Liao to participate in the Battle of Xiaoyaojin and beheaded Chen Wu, a general of Sun Quan's troops.) It can be seen from this that when Qiao Ren fought Hefei, Hao Zhao was in Zhang Liao's army. ）

At this moment, Zhou Tai held a knife in one hand, hooked the ladder obliquely with his right hand, tightened his arm, and the green tendons on his forehead appeared, he pulled the long hook hard, and the soldiers on the ladder were shocked, and accelerated to rush to the city wall, and the soldiers at the bottom of the ladder saw the long hook that stretched out of the city wall, and they rushed to the ladder desperately, wanting to take advantage of the base under the ladder to stabilize the long ladder body.

"Click", the ladder finally couldn't bear the huge pressure, cracked from it, rushed to the top of the Cao sergeant fast, grabbed the edge of the city wall, the people below were not as lucky as him, they lost their support and suddenly fell to the ground, the soldiers who were originally holding the ladder watched their robes fall down, and ran towards them to support them, not wanting to follow the big knife that the soldier fell straight into the body of one of them, without saying a word, The soldier who had tried to catch the robe that had fallen from the city was crucified to the ground.

Several strong bodies fell heavily to the ground, causing a panic below, and before the people below could react, a huge corpse was pressed down again.

Cao Bing, who grabbed the edge of the city wall, tightened his whole body with the strong explosive force in his body, and rushed to the city wall with his hands and feet, his head just showed the Ru wall, and he saw a big man with a full face full of hair, and the rough face reflected a little blood stains and looked hideous and terrifying, and he didn't have time to react at all, the big knife in Zhou Tai's hand slashed down, Cao Bing wanted to dodge, but the big knife was too fast, he just got up, the blade slashed through his body, and the huge knife edge brought up a slip of blood, and the blood mist flew.

"Gong Li, Cao Jun is too much. Our officers and men no longer have the strength to fight again. Zhou Tai's loud voice also turned into a light raindrop at this time.

Sun Shao, who was picked up by Hao Zhao with one hand, said: "If General Huang doesn't arrive again, we will explain!" ”

At this moment, a Cao military captain grabbed the female wall violently, jumped flat, and was about to jump on the city wall, but in the air, a feather arrow was fiercely inserted into his chest, and the powerful strength made the arrow only penetrate the body, shooting the Cao military captain through the heart.

"What a strong force!" Zhou Tai and Sun Shao sighed as they looked in the direction where the arrows came from, and saw a veteran with white hair, carrying a delicate iron-tired bow.

"Old General Huang!" Seeing this general, Zhou Tai and Sun Shao almost jumped up excitedly. The person who came was none other than Huang Zhong, a Yangwu general who was ordered to answer Sun Shao.

Huang Zhong shook Yu Ban's shot yesterday, and rushed to the garrison of the Eastern Wu Navy with his soldiers overnight, and all the 5,000 troops had just arrived at Liyang after a morning of rest on the ship, and they didn't want to come at the right time.

Hao Zhao had also seen Huang Zhong when he was in the Hefei camp, and when he saw him here, he also knew that the reinforcements of the Wu army had arrived, and only then did he speak: "The general is a good opportunity to break the enemy at this time!" ”

"How so?"

"The last general served in the Cao army and knew that although the Qingzhou soldiers were brave and good at fighting, they had a fatal flaw, that is, they were not strong in military discipline and did not endure hard fighting. At this time, the Cao army attacked the city for five hours, and the attack on the city tower also had two hours, the patience of the Qingzhou soldiers has reached a low point, if General Huang's reinforcements arrive at the city, as long as they can give the enemy a certain blow, the Qingzhou soldiers will retreat, even General Xiahou can not order! ”

Hao Zhao really said that when Cao Cao conquered Zhang Xiu, the Qingzhou soldiers were defeated and retreated because of the protracted battle, and they were stopped by Yu Ban and even clashed with Yu Ban's troops at that time. And the discipline of the Qingzhou soldiers is corrupt, every time they go out on an expedition, they are like locusts crossing the border, burning and looting, if Xiahoudun is in the front army, he can stop it a little, but now it is Lejin who is supervising the battle on the front line, and the Qingzhou soldiers will not buy his account.

At this moment, without waiting for Sun Shao to speak, Huang Zhong shouted: "Pu Daoist swept away Cao Jun on the wall, and Hengjiang shooter is ready to shoot three consecutive shots!" “

There were not a few Cao troops on the city wall, and they were basically killed and injured by Huang Zhong's strong eight hundred Pu swordsmen, and they could see thousands of Hengjiang archers, lined up in three rows, and used the ultra-fast rate of fire of the longbow to start shooting at the Cao army under the city like ants!

This is the three-stage attack of the Hengjiang archers, the Hengjiang shooters use Qiao Ren's longbow adapted from the English longbow, which has a very fast rate of fire, which can reach ten to fifteen arrows per minute, and these archers are all long-armed and strong people through Huang Zhong's training, the high hit rate is amazing, coupled with the shooting method similar to the three-stage shot of the musket of the Ming Dynasty in the later generations, it can be used in a short period of time like a machine gun to cover the enemy's attack, the only drawback is that it is too expensive to use arrows, and the Hengjiang shooter who uses the three-stage shot is twice as much as a Hengjiang shooter per minute, Huang Zhong's 3,000 Hengjiang archers could shoot nearly 50,000 arrows in one minute, which was too much money for Wu's army, who used Mitsubishi arrows made of stainless steel.

However, it is also worth the money, the Cao army station in front of him is too dense, and he was shot by a Hengjiang shooter, and nearly 5,000 people were shot by arrows within a minute, plus the waterfall-like arrow rain, none of these 5,000 people survived, and there was a vacuum under the city for a while.

Sun Shao, Zhou Tai and even Hao Zhao, who was good at guarding, watched this scene speechlessly at this time, they really couldn't figure out that Cao Jun, who was originally pressing them, was actually shot and killed so many people in just two minutes. At this moment, the Qingzhou soldiers in their eyes, where there is still a trace of the temperament of elite soldiers, one by one they lost their armor and fled to the north without organization. In the line of sight, the three of them could also see that Le Jin, who was supervising the battle not far away, was so angry that he stomped his feet.

"Archer scatter!" Huang Zhong shouted and ordered, and then handed over the command task to Huang Ba, and came to Sun Shao and said: "General Sun, the general of the capital has ordered the general to abandon the city and return to Hefei with the old man tonight." ”

Even the enemy army didn't attack the tower, so the city was abandoned? Sun Shao asked puzzledly, "What does the Metropolitan Governor mean by this?" ”

"This is the strategy of the governor of the capital, General Sun, you have been holding here for several days and showing a strong garrison ability, after the Cao army occupies this city, it will be left heavily guarded, and the number of Cao troops who can come to attack Hefei will be sharply reduced. Moreover, Liyang is surrounded by water on both sides, as long as Chaohu Lake is still in the hands of our army, the public can attack along the river at any time. ”

"It turned out to be a division of troops, and the good boy immediately gathered his men and horses and retreated with the old general!"

Taking advantage of the chaos of Cao's army, retreating at this time is undoubtedly the least risky, and I have to say that Huang Zhong's arrival is too timely!
