Chapter 946: The Tiger's Swiftness

The battle was deadlocked.

Although Cao's army had a large number of generals and was well-equipped, it was difficult to exert itself on the narrow city walls.

Zhang Yang's descendants and Lu Bu's troops are both veterans of the border army, and they have a sense of arrogance in their bones. These days, I first fell for the enemy's tricks, and then I was pressed and beaten, and I felt a lot of evil fire in my heart, and when I saw the enemy appear within reach, they all fought for their lives.

Veterans who knew they were going to die used knives, clubs, and even their bodies and teeth as weapons, and would rather suffer a fatal blow than fight to the death with their opponents. From time to time, soldiers from both sides fell from the city with each other in their arms, and the screams were endless.

Cao Cao's heart trembled when he saw it, he never thought that the battle that seemed to be determined in the blink of an eye would become such a tragic situation. Following the ladder, the soldiers with a rainbow of momentum continued to climb the city wall, but they couldn't stand firm at all, and people fell down like dumplings under the city.

Pingdi General Lu Changnai was a general of Jingzhou, and he switched to Cao Cao after he won Nanjun, which was the time when he was eager to make meritorious contributions. But he only lasted one more cup of tea than Yan Ming, and he was knocked out of the city.

In terms of martial arts, he is also a master in Jingzhou, where there are many famous generals, and there are many elite soldiers around him, so it shouldn't be so useless. How could there be two more ruthless ones in the city, maybe even Wang Yu couldn't imagine that Wei Yan and Gao Shun, two guys with very different personalities, actually hit it off at first sight, and they had a seamless tacit understanding together.

Not to mention that Lu Chang's martial arts are not top-notch, even if he is, he can't stop the attack of these two masters.

His luck was good, and he had a lot of combat experience, and when he fell, he put his leg on the edge of the ladder, and the whole person quickly slipped down the smooth wooden pole, although the armor and skin and flesh on his thighs were worn to shreds, but he was not worried about his life in the end.

The other two generals did not have such good luck as the soldiers who landed in the city behind them, as long as the rescuers who were pulling the sackcloth could not take care of them a little, they would inevitably die when they were pushed off the city wall. And staying in the city, the opponent's momentum of fighting for life made them feel cold. The cowardly tried to retreat to the siege ladder, but their way was blocked by the newly killed robes, and they could not advance or retreat.

The battle is heavy on momentum, and the defenders who fought for their lives immediately shouted and surrounded the siege ladder from all directions, and fiercely counterattacked.

In order to avoid being targeted by the opposing archers, they were very close to the enemy, which added to the severity of the battle.

Sometimes both sides inserted their weapons into their opponents' bodies almost simultaneously, staring at each other with their last breath until they saw the enemy take his last breath first, and then closed their eyes in satisfaction. Whether they look at it or not, their bodies will be pushed away in the next moment, more people will rush up, and more lives will be lost.

A military commander jumped onto the wall, and before he could stand firm, a sawtooth knife more than five feet long swept over. The hapless lieutenant couldn't dodge and was directly slashed in the soft underbelly by a broadsword. Blood splashed up with a "poof", and the general of the Cao army was surprised to see himself flying, and then screamed, and his entire upper body fell from the city.

The Hanoi generals who succeeded in the first blow laughed and shouted for battle with their serrated knives, but they were looked at by the archers who were ready to attack under the city. In the next moment, the murderer's body was full of feather arrows, shaking, but stubbornly refused to fall, and with his last breath before dying, he pierced the hilt of the knife into the mud brick, and supported his body with the blade.

"Drive them down so they don't dare to turn back!" Wei Yan shouted a fierce battle. At this moment in the battle, he had many wounds on his body, and he was covered in blood. Blood, both the enemy and the own; Wounds, some just wounded, some old wounds.

This time the task is to completely mess up...... No matter how painful the wound is, it can't compare to the grievances in his heart, Wei Yan's heart is dripping blood.

The lord repeatedly told himself, saying that General Lu was unruly and uninhibited, although he was brave and brave, but it was easy to fall into the scheme, and he should pay more attention to himself, and he did not seek to make great achievements, as long as he assisted with all his heart, and did not give the traitor the opportunity to design, it was a great achievement.

But after all, he was negligent, and he never thought that Cao Cao was planning to do this, and he actually used a plan to hide from the sky and the sea, and threw the main force into the battlefield of Hanoi in one go, and set up an ambush formation on all sides!

It's too late to say anything now, what you can do is to fight this worthless life, to last one more day, to kill one more enemy, and to repay the lord's kindness a little.

Wei Yanyuan's eyes widened, his expression was extremely hideous, and the knife danced like a wheel, and the blocker was invincible. The defenders didn't care about the gate at this time, and they followed behind the fierce general, slashing and slaughtering, and in an instant they cleared the city head out of an open field and brought it.

"Knock it down!" The marquis who led the army waved his sword and pointed to the ladder set up on the battlements. Several soldiers rushed up, grabbed the top of the ladder on their shoulders, and pushed forward with force. However, the siege ladder with a wooden base below was difficult to be knocked down, and even if they were red-faced and red-eared, they did not move, and when they were about to increase their strength, several cold arrows hit them, turning them all into hedgehogs.

"Roll the wood!" In the fierce battle, Gao Shun still maintained his ice and snow calm, knowing that it was pointless to compete with manpower and equipment.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of huge logs were lifted by the defenders and pushed down the siege ladder. Cao Jun, who was swarming up, couldn't dodge, and one by one he was swept off the siege ladder by rolling logs, his brain was cracked, and his tendons were broken.

Many of the city's defense equipment are ready-made, large chunks of stones, and rolling logs that can be seen in the shape of house beams are thrown one after another, and each wave will take several lives.

While Cao Jun was in a hurry, someone threw torches at the bottom of the siege ladder. Smoke billowed from the wooden support cut off the archers' view and the city's soldiers from continuing their upward climb.

"Beat the drums, beat the drums!" Cao Cao, who had lost his troops, was so angry that he kept ordering his soldiers to beat drums and urge the battle.

Regardless of whether Wang Yu can break through the blockade or not, the current front of the Qingzhou Army has been torn apart. As long as he can quickly take down Lu Bu, he can withdraw in time, or adopt various tactics to break through, eat a few enemy troops in one bite, or capture the thief and capture the king first to deal with Wang Yu, or even directly attack Chaoge and take the hinterland of Jizhou.

The premise is to take down Lu Bu as soon as possible!

Now that Lu Bu has become a nail in his hand, he has suffered such a big loss, and the tiger must take revenge. Putting such an army behind its back, even if it is surrounded by 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers, it is quite dangerous.

Now, there is only one earthen wall left in Xiao Xiuwu's city fortifications, and the fat is in front of him, but he can't eat it, and this feeling can already be described by the word 'grief and indignation'.

"Lord, slow down and attack again." Lu Chang, who was lucky enough to pick up a life, limped to Cao Cao and admonished in a low voice: "Lu Bu's tiger and wolf nature, trapped beasts are still fighting, and it is difficult to get down, so you have to wait for the momentum of the defenders to pass before attacking, which is the best policy." ”

"No way!" Cao Cao shook his head and replied with a cold face.

"Is the lord worried about General Boren's side......" Lu Chang knew that his lord was ambitious, and he always only started from the pros and cons when considering things, and rarely acted on his will, and guessed the other party's true thoughts very understandingly.

"Needless to say!" Cao Cao's face added another layer of gloomy clouds, his eyebrows were raised, and he reprimanded with a blue face: "The most critical thing now is time, if you take Lu Bu one day earlier, you will have an extra chance of winning, if you delay here for a long time, maybe it will ......" He sighed miserably: "Maybe there will be no future!" ”

"Long! Prosperous! Prosperous! The agitated drums reawakened the courage of Cao's generals, and with a new round of bows and arrows, they once again seized the initiative on the battlefield. After the siege vehicle was briefly maintained, Cao Cao's main general flag began to move forward slowly, and Cao Cao's henchman Dian Wei led the personal guard battalion into the battlefield.

Dian Wei, who was born at the grassroots, can be trusted by Cao Cao, it is not enough to be strong in force, in fact, in terms of commanding operations, Dian Wei and Tai Shici are somewhat similar, they are both thick and fine people.

This time he learned from his colleagues and was very careful to control the tempo of the attack.

Whenever the soldiers climbed a few steps, they used the sound of their horns to tell the men to stop, and then ordered the archers to cover the sides of the siege ladder again. After tossing and turning more than a dozen times, until he was sure that there was no ambush behind the battlements, he suddenly gave the order and ordered the soldiers who had climbed to most of them to rush up.

More than 100 soldiers jumped onto the city wall one after another, and quickly formed a small formation to protect the siege ladder behind them.

This is a conventional tactic of siege, not seeking to quickly expand the results of the battle, seize the city gates, towers and other key positions, as long as the passage behind the half pillar incense time, the follow-up troops can occupy the entire section of the city wall. When the number of generals who had killed the head of the city was large enough to organize an attack array on the city walls, the battle for the day came to an end.

It seemed that the effective countermeasures were not as powerful as imagined, and Cao Jun's excitement only lasted for a few breaths. Soon, they were surprised to hear the sound of the wind overhead.

The defenders who retreated to the road and the enemy towers were armed with strong bows and fired rows of feathered arrows at the attackers. There was no shelter to be found on the flat city head, and the first round of volleys shot most of the Cao army on the top of the city.

Immediately after, the defenders on the road and in the enemy tower lined up in teams of ten or five men, one team erected a large door panel in front as a shield, and the other team was covered by the shield bearers and rushed to the siege ladder.

The expected tactics were preemptively adopted by the enemy, and the morale of the guards battalion plummeted, and they were beaten back one after another, relying on the advance and succession of the rear army, which barely managed to maintain a small position at the entrance of the ladder.

Dian Wei saw the fire in his eyes, handed over the command to the deputy general Xu Chu, and led people to rush forward.

The combat power of the super-first-class generals was extraordinary, and the heavy twin iron halberds were unfolded, like a tornado hurricane rolling up on the flat ground, and suddenly opened a gap in the enemy formation.

"Keep up, keep up!" While killing, Dian Wei shouted loudly, calling on more people to follow him and kill a piece of heaven and earth. When the soldiers saw that their generals were like mad tigers, they also sacrificed their lives to kill. The defenders noticed that something was wrong and besieged it.

This section of the wall immediately became the focus of everyone's attention, and the warriors under the city continued to fill the void and try to take advantage of the victory. The warriors of the city swore to close the only gap, refusing to allow the enemy to expand their victory.

A sword and shield hand shouted and pounced forward, and was directly deflected by Dian Wei with a small branch of an iron halberd, and then flew up and kicked out from the inside of the city wall. The knife hand screamed and fell, and the dull sound of ** hitting the ground made everyone's faces pale.

A team of shieldmen saw the flaw, and suddenly exerted their strength, holding the shield and shouting, trying to knock the terrifying enemy general away with the combined efforts of many people. As a result, Dian Wei used the iron halberd as an iron hammer, 'Bang! ''Bang! 'Two loud bangs, directly smashing people with shields to the ground!

"Death to those who stand in my way!" Dian Wei shouted and waved his halberd, and a halberd smashed his opponent's head, splashing red and white. Then he strode forward and kicked one of the spearmen directly in the lower abdomen with his iron-clad combat boots. The spearman immediately bowed, blood flowing down his nostrils, mouth, and ears at the same time.

At this moment, a certain corpse that had fallen on the city wall suddenly moved, opened his hands and hugged Dian Wei's other leg, trying to trip him and fall from the city wall together, so that they could die together.

"Dead open!" With all his might, he seemed to have hit a mountain, and Dian Wei didn't move at all, so he dragged a person forward and killed four or five steps, and after killing the enemy who took the opportunity to besiege, he slammed his legs and threw people away, fulfilling the warrior who regarded death as home.

Killing ten people in one step, Dian Wei's might is a hundred times more fierce than the strong man imagined by the poet, Rao is defenders are determined to die, and they are also shocked, and no one dares to step forward for a while.

"Ahh Dian Wei is here, who dares to fight! Dian Wei roared in the sky, and the howling sound was like thunder, and the image was like the legendary god of war who fought against the sky, and the city suddenly thundered.

"Hugh is rampant, eat me with a knife!" It is easy to attract hatred when showing off your might on the battlefield, and when you see a flashing of sword light, it is Wei Yan who responds to the killing.

"Good time!" Dian Wei was not surprised and rejoiced, and waved his halberd to meet him.

"Dang!" The swords and halberds clashed, making a loud noise, and the two sergeants who were fighting around them only felt a 'buzz' in their ears, and their eyes were black, their feet were weak, and they almost fell to the ground.

The martial arts of both of them are halfway monks, and they are among the world's famous generals by virtue of their talents.

There was a roar here, and he used a move to split Huashan, and the five-foot blade slashed off his head, and before the blade arrived, the strong wind brought up had already shrouded the whole body, making people feel that there was no way to avoid it. The other side did not show weakness, exhaled and opened the sound, the double iron halberds left and right, straight up, and the sound of gold and iron colliding was deafening.

After a few touches, Gao Xia paused.

The figure of the parry is like a mountain, and the line has not moved, but the chopping is 'Tengteng' and retreats three steps. Wei Yan is young in the end, his strength and martial arts are inferior, and he has been fighting hard for a long time before, so it is naturally difficult to defeat such a new force as Shangdian Wei.

"The knife technique is still good, the strength is still a little worse, and eat my halberd!" Dian Wei was unforgiving, and strode forward in pursuit, the iron halberd was like the wind, and the head and face were smashed.

Wei Yan was defeated and retreated, and he only had the ability to parry, and he had no power to fight back. Seeing that the situation was not good, the guards on the left and right hurriedly stepped forward to rescue, but some of them were blocked by Cao Bing, and the other part of them only heard a long laugh from the enemy general, and the whirlwind formed by the iron halberd turned outward, directly rolling them in.

This kind of hand-to-hand combat on narrow terrain is originally the best stage for personal bravery, and Dian Wei's style of fighting to win by strength is even more like a fish in water.

Wei Yan couldn't stop Dian Wei, but he was in danger, and he had been fighting side by side with him, but Gao Shun, who had divided most of his attention to command the battle, didn't expect his partner to be defeated so quickly, and he couldn't care about commanding.

Gao Shun's martial arts are pure skill flow, the attack angle is tricky, the body style changes smartly, and the right hand ring head knife is pointed obliquely forward, like a slash but not a slash, like a stab but not a stab, which makes people feel unstoppable.

But if you really try to parry, it would be a big mistake, this very mysterious knife turned out to be a false move! The knife was swung out, Gao Shun's steps changed suddenly, his feet were staggered, his body was shaking, and the hook shield in his left hand had been swung up from the bottom up.

The structure of the hook inlay shield is that there is a sharp hook on the shield surface, and the lower end of the shield is a sharp horn, which can be used to attack, and there are many variations. Gao Shun's change of trick is to use a sharp hook to hurt the enemy's vital points, which is both yin and ruthless, and at first glance it is the kind of battlefield fighting style that does not pay attention to face and only focuses on practical results. If Dian Wei's attention is attracted by the knife move, even if he can save his life, I am afraid that he will not be able to be a man in the future.

Dian Wei really didn't expect the follow-up changes, he didn't mean to fight with his opponent, that's not what he is good at, his style is to overwhelm people with force, and he will drop ten times with one force!

He didn't look at Gao Shun's hook-inlaid shield, waved his halberd, and swept directly across his waist, looking as if he was going to die with his opponent. But only Gao Shun, who was in the middle of it, knew how fierce this halberd was, not to die together, but to come first!

Most of the masters of the skill flow are good at deduction and judgment, and Gao Shun knows that his tricks have changed a little, and the speed will definitely not be able to keep up. But he was originally a commanding general, and he didn't intend to achieve much in personal martial arts, so it was enough to protect himself.

He instantly judged that he didn't even have the qualifications to fight to the end, and he didn't care about hurting the enemy, so he erected his weapon in his busy schedule and blocked it in front of him. Then, he saw that his hundred-for-one steel knife was bent into a fishhook, and his body suddenly became lighter, and he was actually smashed away by Dian Wei's halberd and even a knife!

"Xunyi!" Wei Yan's eyes were cracked, and he roared angrily, trying to rush to the rescue, but where did he break through like a mountain halberd.

Seeing that Gao Shun was about to fly out of the edge of the city wall and fall under the city, a black shadow came like lightning, and the ape arm was light, and directly pulled Gao Shun back from the air!

"What a thief, dare to hurt my brother, watch the fight!" Putting down Gao Shun with one hand, the Fang Tian painting halberd in the other hand was already rising like a dragon, and in the loud shouts, it was killed!

Tiger Lu Bu!

In the midst of the lightning and flint, a name flashed in Dian Wei's heart, that kind of powerful move, there is only one such one in the city!

Over the years, he has followed Cao Cao and competed with countless masters, most of whom ended in his victory, and occasionally met several comparable opponents, such as Tai Shici, the general of Qingzhou......

However, there has never been an opponent who can put so much pressure on him in one face. That Fang Tian Painting Halberd looked like it was just a decent stabbing blow, but when the halberd stabbed, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and the body became heavy, and only the world-shattering killing weapon was left between heaven and earth!

With Dian Wei's toughness, of course, it is impossible to be timid without a fight, he just feels the power in it.

In the face of strong killing moves, he was not afraid. The double iron halberd was horizontal and vertical on the left and right, and he was in front of him, and his waist and legs suddenly exerted force, and his body instantly changed from standing upright to leaning forward, feeling like he was going to collide with the fit of a halberd with a person.

Dian Wei, who was born at the grassroots, is best at foot combat, when he fought a draw with Tai Shi Ci in Hebei, and even fell slightly behind, mainly because of poor riding skills, if you change to foot combat, the result may be reversed.

This move is hidden in a defensive position, and it can bring his strange power to the extreme, if it is used when he fights Wei Yan, then the latter may not be a matter of withdrawing three steps.

However, this time he met not Tai Shici, but Lu Bu, the invincible Lu Fengxian in the world!

At the moment when the three halberds struck, the momentum of Fang Tian's halberd suddenly changed in impossibility, one side, one turn, one backknock, all the changes were completed in an instant. Just right to avoid the strongest point of Dian Wei's counterattack, and then pushed him from the side.

For the first time in his life, Dian Wei had a feeling that he couldn't hold a weapon, and the handy iron halberd suddenly lost control, just to get out of his hands and fly!

What's even more terrifying is that the balance of the body is also a little messy. Because Lu Bu's second blow was deployed on the spot, he used the small branch of the painting halberd to hang it back, and when Dian Wei's sideways trend had not stopped, he pulled him forward again. When Dian Wei tried to pull back, Lu Bu made another move to push the boat......

If it weren't for his own experience, Dian Wei would not have been able to imagine what kind of martial arts could make such frequent changes in strength in a face-to-face battle. All he knew was that he had met a master he had never seen in his life.

The strength is not inferior to him, and the control of the power is even higher than him, and the skill is also incredibly high!

An unprecedented sense of powerlessness surged into his heart, no matter how Dian Wei roared and how he fought back, it was like a flat boat in the stormy waves, he could only swell up and down with the waves, and he couldn't help himself.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen moves had been fought, and the soldiers at the head of the city were already dumbfounded, and even forgot about the opponent in front of them. The soldiers under the city are also as white as the earth, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the invincible general has been defeated and retreated just now.

Although he couldn't tell how long he could last, he kept retreating, retreating, and seeing that he was at the edge of the city wall!

"Don't look stupid, quick, send someone quickly, and prepare to pick up General Yingdian!" That is, Cao Cao still maintained enough sanity and shouted to command the rescue team under the city to respond.

He knew that Lu Bu was very strong, but he didn't expect it to be so strong that he couldn't even suppress Dian Wei, the number one fierce general in the army. No, let alone suppression, it's simply a lack of parry.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Lu Bu's timing is good enough, just in time for Dian Wei to lose two generals in a row, the old force has been exhausted, and the new force has not been born. However, there are only winners and losers on the battlefield, and there is no such thing as fairness or unfairness.

Therefore, when Cao Cao saw the familiar majestic figure falling from the city, he was not sad, but a little relieved, at least, his life was saved.

He looked up, and the sun above him was getting brighter and brighter, so warm that he couldn't help but close his eyes. His body was getting warmer and warmer, but his heart was getting colder and colder, Cao Cao closed his eyes and ordered in a low and inaudible voice:

"Collect the troops!"
