(The alliance has been red for three consecutive days, this rhythm, this strength...... Fifteen Lang really knelt down! Thank you Zhao Wuxian 2014, UFGW, New No Trick Winning Move, Heavenly Sword Dance Fragrance)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Phew――

An arrow grazed his ear and hit the throat of the servant on his side, and the young man held the shaft of the arrow with both hands, his eyes were dilated, he vomited blood, and slowly poured down.

Wang Xiu, who was wearing heavy armor, held a long sword, didn't care about the blood splashed on his face, stretched out his hand to help his servant, and his voice was hoarse: "You go by yourself, and your mother and I will raise it by yourself." ”

Hu Cong grinned, as if he wanted to laugh, and fell straight down.

In just one sentence, another rain of arrows was shot from under the city, and a garrison at the head of the city was put down, three of which pierced through the gatehouse, two arrows were nailed to the guardrail, and one arrow was quickly raised to block it from the eye.

Wang Xiu is the general of Ximen, and he is also the commander appointed by Kong Rong to command the Duchang counterattack with full powers.

Wang Xiu had a sword in his hand, and the sword was stained with blood, but it was not the blood of the enemy, but his own people—the battle was so fierce that there were almost as many people who wanted to be deserters as there were those who died in battle. Wang Xiu's duty is to supervise the war. Before Yuan's offensive stopped, and before he was still standing in this place, whoever dared to take half a step back had to ask him about the blade in his hand first. His Wang Shuzhi's name of "Haoqiang Buster" is not called in vain, Beihai Haoqiang has been killed so many by him, not to mention a few battlefield deserters?

Up and down the city, boiling and reversing the sky, the white blades are connected, and the falling ones are like rain; The corpses were pillowed, the mud and dust were dark brown, and the fire was everywhere. Smoke and dust obscured the sun.

Wang Xiu has experienced many offensive and defensive battles, in Zhuxu, Xiami, Xixian, and Duchang, there has never been a time, and he is so difficult today, and he was almost rushed to the city by the enemy several times.

An army is not the same as a thief. Also, the generals of Yuan Jun's battle also give people a very different feeling: fierce, fierce, aggressive, and more ruthless than Wang Xiu. There were more than two dozen poles erected in front of the flag, and at the top of each pole hung three or four bloody heads......

Beneath the hideous heads. Lu Kuang stood by the knife, murderous. His 1,000 soldiers and horses all had to go into battle, regardless of the soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, only the new soldiers and old soldiers. The recruits took the lead first, set up ladders to attack the city, and more than 200 crossbowmen were divided into two groups, forming a goose-shaped formation fifty paces away, and kept firing arrows at the city. Suppression of the Northern Navy. One stroke is exhausted, then another, and so on until all the crossbowmen are exhausted.

Most of Yuan Jun's crossbowmen were veterans. Having fought fiercely with the Youzhou army for many years and with rich experience, they were not fixed at one point to shoot at the head of the city - the head of the city was covered by a female wall, and they had a condescending advantage. It's a disadvantage to shoot against it. There was an infantry formation behind the crossbowmen of the Yuan army, and the soldiers in the front rows were all holding large shields. After every few arrows fired by the crossbowmen, they saw that the Northern Navy was about to counterattack. Immediately hide in the infantry formation, wait for a wave of enemy arrows, and then come out and continue to work.

There was a battalion of veterans under Lu Kuang's command, including 200 crossbowmen and 400 long and short soldiers. This battalion is his hole card, as for the new battalion, he doesn't feel distressed to die, after this battle, those who can survive can be regarded as pawns who have seen blood, and they can just be added to his old battalion.

Yuan Jun has always used this natural elimination method to find out his own elite soldiers, who made this Hebei and Qing Erzhou all states with large Han populations, and there is a shortage of everything, that is, there is no shortage of people.

After an hour of fierce fighting, the new battalion was so wounded and wounded that no matter how much it was driven, it could no longer go to the city to fight. And in the section of the city wall of Duchang West Gate, the guards are also exhausted.

Lü Kuang ordered the whole army to retreat, as if to return to the camp to eat, and when the Northern Navy thought that it had finally repelled the enemy's offensive, one by one paralyzed against the wall, Lü Kuang gave an order, and the rear team became the front team, and the four hundred sharp soldiers carried more than 20 long ladders with the support of more than 200 crossbowmen, and roared like a tsunami, launching a general attack on the panicked Northern Navy.

Compared with IQ, Wang Xiu is definitely above Lu Kuang, but compared to fighting, Lu Kuang is much stronger than Wang Xiu.

Four hundred sharp soldiers, like a running ox, stirred up the dust, crossed the trench filled with the corpses of the two armies, and slapped the four-zhang (Hanzhang, about six meters) long ladder to the head of the city, splashing mud everywhere, and the sharp hook at the top of the long ladder firmly stuck the edge of the city. The soldiers slashed their knives one after another, carried spears and halberds, used their hands and feet together, and climbed quickly.

Wow! A basin of hot oil poured down from the city, and the soldiers who bore the brunt of it let out a terrible scream, falling from mid-air with a thud and a stirring of mud and dust. Falling from three or four meters down from the mound, as long as it is not head-down, it is generally not easy to die, but the soldier's face is full of blisters, first blood red, then pale, and then a large piece of skin falls off, revealing bright red and wriggling tender flesh...... Such a strict and large-scale deep third-degree burn, even in today's medical prosperity, belongs to the single category of critical illness notification, and if it is placed in the Three Kingdoms, it is a certain death.

Boom! A large black shadow fell, and this time the Organic Soldier raised his shield above the top to cover his entire body - but this time it wasn't hot oil, but rolling wood. A hundred pounds of heavy wood were thrown from the top of the city, smashed the wooden shield, and slapped the three soldiers who climbed the ladder into the mud together......

Injured by the defending equipment, basically went to half a life, but unfortunately, this kind of counterattack only smashed a few small splashes in the attack wave, compared to the swiftness of the Yuan army, the momentum of the Northern Navy was obviously sluggish, many people were dazed, their movements were stiff, and the previous spirit was all gone.

This is the little trick that Lu Kuang played on the battlefield -- under the condition of high mental tension, people can often maintain a high-intensity state of stress, and they are full of enthusiasm regardless of offense and defense. But this breath can't be vented, and it will be over as soon as it is vented. Although Lu Kuang was unable to explain this physiological phenomenon, it did not prevent him from having this understanding. He first pretended to retreat and return to the camp, and waited for the commander of the defenders of Duchang West Gate to let out a long breath, vent this anger, and immediately turn around and counterattack with the main force.

Wang Xiu was solidly hit by this carbine, that hurts...... Fortunately, Wang Xiu still has a reserve team, but the distance is a little far, and it will take some time to transfer it in the direction of the north gate. Time on the battlefield, on the other hand, is an expensive consumable, consuming weapons, food, money, and lives...... Even so, Wang Xiu didn't know if he could withstand this round of crazy attacks.

"If the west gate is lost, the whole city will fall. Under the nest, no one is exempt, let me Wang Xiu die here! Wang Xiu sighed, pushed left and right, and went downstairs with his sword. Now there is no point in commanding, and the only thing he can do is to fight like an ordinary soldier.

Wang Xiu is a good scribe, but a scholar of the Qin and Han dynasties, the sword hanging from his waist. It's not a decoration, it's all bladed, and it can kill people as well as kill people.

Wang Xiuneng has repeatedly entered the mansion of the powerful alone, facing these strong dock owners and handsomes, showing their authority and moving them to benefit, this courage is also supported by the art industry. His swordsmanship is very good.

As soon as he ran to the head of the city, he happened to be a sergeant of Yuan who was holding a knife in his mouth, supporting the edge of the city with both hands, and jumping in.

Wang Xiu raised his sword in one hand. With one hand pressed against the hilt of the sword, both arms called for force, and thrust forward violently. The sharp tip of the sword pierced through the cowhide armor and penetrated deep into the chest.

Sergeant Yuan's eyes widened in astonishment. Stretched out his hand to grab the sword - Wang Xiu struggled to draw, and the blood shot out, and the sword turned into an arc of light. Cut the throat of the enemy.

In just half an instant, Wang Xiu had already assassinated four enemy soldiers, and the heavy armor on his body also had a few more scars, as well as a few blood stains.

Seeing that even the lieutenant personally went into battle to kill the enemy, the spectators were all moved, and the morale of the Northern Navy was boosted, and the shouts of the soldiers gradually became stronger, and their actions became flexible.

Lu Kuang kept staring at the fierce battle at the head of the city, and asked, "What time?" ”

With the summons of the servants, the timekeeper ran over with sweat on his head and reported: "At the beginning of the Shen period, half an hour has passed. ”

"So that's half an hour." Lu Kuang's rugged face turned grim, and he put the ring knife in his hand to his shoulder, "Okay, half an hour, I want to stand at the head of Duchang City to greet Yuan Yuanjun." ”

Lu Kuang is going to go into battle in person!

In the Three Kingdoms era, it was normal for generals to charge into battle, and even Taishou sometimes rushed to the front line, not to mention a cavalry governor like Lu Kuang.

Lu Kuang only brought twenty servants, all of whom were armoured and shielded, with knives in their mouths, axes at their waists, and some of them also brought several halberds, looking like they were ready to kill the head of the city and form a formation.

A man with a big waist and a round waist and a hanging head ring at a glance is Hu Ren's Hu from the first, and Lu Kuang is the second.

The sound of killing above the head is continuous, and from time to time you can see the soldiers who fell down like soup cakes (there were no dumplings in the Han Dynasty, only soup cakes), and there were even people with ladders who were pushed down by fork rods, and the people on the ladders were like grasshoppers strung in a line...... Some people fall and get up and fight again, while others fall and fall forever.

In such a scene, Lu Kuang was numb to see it for a long time, and he only had one obsession now: kill it! Occupy this city, and then tie up all the North Navy sergeants, and push them down like this!

"Kill!" With skillful techniques, the Hu people raised their shields to remove the stones that had been thrown down one after another, and finally jumped onto the city. A shield knocked a guard away, but the shield that was smashed by the stone could not bear it and was torn apart.

The moment the shield shattered, a sword slashed through the scattered pieces of broken wood, stabbing Hu Renhu from the shoulder socket.

Hu shouted and raised his axe to slash at his opponent, but the opponent was obviously not an ordinary person, and there were five or six guards beside him, who were closely guarded. The Hu man's axe was blocked by one of the guards, and the other guard raised his spear and stabbed it, and was caught by the Hu man's outstretched arms.

At this time, the sword light reappeared, wiping the throat of the Hu man. Hu Ren covered his neck and fell on his back, and bloody arrows shot between his fingers.

Lu Kuang's figure finally appeared at the head of the city, he jumped down with a knife in one hand and a shield in the other. With the light of the sword, one of the guards was disemboweled, and the wrist was suddenly flipped, and the blade penetrated into the belly of the other guard.

The sword light flashed again, but Lu Kuang was not comparable to Hu Ren's subordinates, his eyes were quick and his hands were fast, he blocked it with a leather shield, and slashed a guard with a backhand. He did not have time to turn the blade of the sword, but struck the man who made the sword with the hilt. The opponent snorted, the long sword fell to the ground, and the arm retreated.

Lu Kuang saw that this person was wearing heavy armor, and he must be a high-level general, so he was willing to let it go, and roared, and even rushed away several guards with swords and shields, raising his knife and slashing at the opponent.

In a panic, the man picked up something to resist.

Syllable! The thing burst, but it was half of the broken shield of the Hu man.

When Lu Kuang was about to make up for another knife, there was a sudden sound of cymbals behind him!

Lu Kuang looked back in astonishment, it was actually from the Chinese army.

Ming cymbal, it is to retreat! Why? Seeing that the city has been attacked, why should the troops retreat?

At this time, several people carried a rolling log together, roared and rushed over, banging on the ground, and crashing Lu Kuang into the city. (To be continued......)
