Chapter 754 Take Mianzhu City
To be honest, facing Zhang Liao and Pang De on his own, he really has no chance of winning. That Zhang Liao's sword technique is so powerful, he has already learned it, if it weren't for the fact that he used marksmanship and was used to dexterity against the enemy, I am afraid that he would have been unable to support it a long time ago.
If Zhang Liao with a halberd is added, Zhang Ren really has no chance of winning. Now that it's good, Zhang Liao is willing to fight with him, which gives him infinite hope, at least a chance to fight.
"Okay, Captain Zhang is really atmospheric, so let me see your halberd technique." After Zhang Ren's words fell, he had already stabbed forward with the silver spear in his hand, pointing directly at Zhang Liao's chest.
When this shot was stabbed, Zhang Ren was ready for the other party to dodge, and when this shot was stabbed, he had room to wait, and what he was waiting for was the other party to give a fatal blow when he dodged.
Zhang Ren knew that anyone who could be the commander of the legion must have extraordinary strength, so he didn't underestimate Zhang Liao's meaning from the beginning, and his shot was a killer move.
Zhang Ren suddenly let out a sound, and under the remaining pieces that occupied the first hand, he stabbed a shot and came straight to his chest. At this moment, Zhang Liao should have dodged, because he felt that the power of this shot was not very fast, which was equivalent to giving him enough time to prepare.
But because of this, Zhang Liao Feidan did not dodge, and the halberd in his hand waved in mid-air, and slashed straight at the waist of Zhang Ren on the opposite side.
In terms of strength, there is not much difference between Zhang Liao and Zhang Ren, one of them uses a halberd and the other uses a gun, and they really fight, and they will not be able to see victory or defeat without seventy or eighty rounds. But Zhang Liao's advantage over the other side is his combat experience.
After following Zhang Chao, the Celestial Empire began to grow step by step, and I don't know how many battles were fought during the period. Especially in the first battle after taking the predecessor of the Seventh Legion, the Pingyi Legion into the territory of the Northern Xiongnu and Xianbei, he accumulated a lot of combat experience.
Just like Zhang Yi's shot just now, the spear jumped out, giving people a feeling of trembling, but in fact, Zhang Liao didn't feel much power in it, that is to say, this was the enemy's temptation, and he simply wanted to force himself to dodge the action, so easy to grasp the initiative.
Now that he knew the opponent's intentions, how could Zhang Liao get his wish, even if he didn't dodge or dodge, he let the spear attack, and he himself waved the halberd in his hand and began to counterattack.
Don't defend, concentrate on attacking, Zhang Liao's reaction was much more than Zhang Ren expected, seeing that the halberd was about to cross his chest, he couldn't help it, Zhang Ren only shrank his belly, and at the same time moved his body slightly, wanting to dodge this attack.
Zhang Ren was forced to dodge, and the halberd seemed to be about to cross his chest, but at this moment, it suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then changed and slammed, and the huge halberd head smashed under Zhang Ren's chest, and the huge force forced Zhang Ren to tremble on the horse, and almost fell off the horse because of this huge power. But even if he forcibly grabbed Ma Jiang, at this moment, because of the huge force in his chest, a burst of chaos in his abdomen finally forced him to squirt out a mouthful of bloody arrows.
Just the first move, Zhang Ren spit out a mouthful of blood, obviously suffering a lot of internal injuries. In comparison, Zhang Liao was just the armor in front of him being torn.
When Zhang Ren made a dodge move, the silver spear in his hand had no power, even if it hit Zhang Liao's body in the end, the power that might be brought was indeed very limited.
"Good halberd." Pang De could see clearly on the side, and after seeing that Zhang Liao had injured Zhang Ren with just one move, he couldn't stop shouting for Zhang Liao.
Hearing Pang De's somewhat excited shout, a smile appeared on Zhang Liao's originally cold face, he was able to win this style completely because he had enough combat experience, otherwise, even if he could avoid Zhang Ren's backhand, I am afraid that he would be very embarrassed.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood arrows, Zhang Ren's face was a little pale at this time, and after this style, he also knew where the gap with Zhang Liao was.
He is a legion commander, and he takes the Seven Legions to attack everywhere, and every day is a test of life and death. Although he is also a general, most of them lead troops to train in the rear, and he has less actual combat experience, and even less when he fights in life and death, which makes him far inferior to the other party in terms of vision.
But this kind of sigh was just thought about in his heart, and then dissipated, Zhang Ren knew very well that it would be difficult to get out alive today anyway, the only difference was that he could kill a few people himself. Now he is facing Zhang Liao, he only has to fight, and maybe he can find a backpad, otherwise, he will really die in vain.
"Come on!" didn't pay attention to the blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, and immediately figured it out, the next time is when Zhang Ren attacks desperately, he will definitely die, and now he just hopes that he can seriously injure Zhang Liao before he dies, and it is best to kill this person, so it is not in vain.
Zhang Ren began to fight hard, which caused great pressure on Zhang Liao. When he found that no matter how he launched a counterattack, the opponent ignored it, but in the spirit of a lose-lose style of play, he had to change from attack to defense.
Compared with Zhang Ren's mortality, Zhang Liao's advantage is too great, he doesn't want to die with the mortal enemy, which is tantamount to falling into the trap of the other party.
Fortunately, a weapon like a halberd can be attacked and defended, which has strength, speed, and flexibility. When it comes to defense, it is also airtight, and it is far from being something that Zhang Ren can break if he says it.
And as time passed, after forty rounds between the two sides, the speed at which Zhang Ren shot began to appear to help.
Originally, as an attacker, the physical exertion was great, and he had faced Pang De and Cao Xiu for dozens of rounds before he added it, and now Zhang Ren has reached the point of exhaustion, unless he can get a good rest, otherwise, he will not be able to hold on for long.
This change was naturally captured by Zhang Liao, and he felt that the speed of the opponent's shot began to become slow and weak, and he knew that his time had come to counterattack.
Zhang Liao, who had been pressed and beaten, suddenly accelerated the speed of the halberd in his hand, and the counterattack that had been gathering momentum for a long time began, and for a while, the halberd seemed to have conjured up several ways in Zhang Ren's eyes, and they all attacked his body.
This so-called halberd body transformation is naturally not true, it is nothing more than because the halberd moves too fast, but unfortunately the current state of Zhang Ren is very bad, and he can't distinguish the real and fake halberd body, even if he can distinguish it, the hand speed can't keep up with the eye speed.
Under such a sudden counterattack, Zhang Ren's defense was full of loopholes, and then a heavy halberd was piercing his ribs, and a piercing pain hit his whole body, causing Zhang Ren to let out a scream at this moment, and then, the whole person fell off the horse.
"Tied." A blow knocked Zhang Ren under the horse, Zhang Liao eased his heaving chest and commanded Pang De on the side.
Needless to say, Pang De had already raised the truncated knife and fell under Zhang Ren's neck, so far the other party was unable to move.
Zhang Ren was captured, which caused chaos in the Western Shu army. Under the headless army, the original defense also became chaotic, and it only took half a day for the Seventh Army to take down all the Western Shu army, of which in addition to 70,000 prisoners, the other 130,000 troops were all killed.
Zhang Ren's defeat proves that on the front line of Yizhou, the Western Shu army has no strong military strength at all. With the destruction of this Western Shu army, Wang Ping escaped from Mianzhu City with 30,000 soldiers, and at this point, the gate from Yongzhou to Yizhou was opened, and there was nothing to stop the advance of the Celestial Empire army.
"Inform me to go down, rest for two days, and then head to Chengdu, Yizhou." Zhang Liao was still wearing an orange cloak at the moment, giving orders in the name of the corps commander. At the same time, this battle report was also sent to Zhang Chao in Xicheng.
......
Outside the city of Jingzhou Xicheng.
With four legions, the two million armies of the Celestial Empire are launching a fierce attack on Xicheng.
The four cities marched together, and with the support of artillery, the city gate was soon broken, and the so-called two moats built by Zhuge Liang that could resist explosives became a kind of decoration.
But for the battle in Xicheng, the real battlefield was not in the process of attacking the city, but after entering the city, when Guan Yu, the general defending the city, began to fight back with the help of the streets, the entry of the Celestial Empire army was greatly hindered.
It's just that this kind of obstacle just caused a moment of confusion, and when several legion commanders quickly adjusted the way of attacking, in the battle of the streets, the advantage of the Xishu army was not obvious, and it became a lot more passive.
As the streets were occupied by the huge number of Celestial Empire troops, the space for Guan Yu to move became smaller and smaller.
Outside the city, in Zhang Chao's tent, he was listening to Guo Jia's report, and after listening to the four major legions going smoothly, and Guan Yu was surrounded in the city and failed to escape, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, this time I want to see where Yun Chang can escape, so, arrange it, if he is willing..."
Without waiting for Zhang Chao to finish speaking, an iron guard hurriedly entered the tent. The person who came was Tie Yi, and the position in the Iron Guard belonged to the existence second only to the chief of the guard, Xu Chu.
Without reporting, he went straight in, unless something important happened, otherwise, Tie Yi would not dare to do this. And when Xu Chu stretched out his hand to take the information, just after taking a look, he was also flustered, and hurriedly sent the information to Zhang Chao's desk.
Zhang Chao knew that something big must have happened, but when he saw what was written on the intelligence, he felt a burst of dizziness, if it weren't for Xu Chu on the side, who had already prepared, he stepped forward to help him, and he was afraid that he would have fallen to the ground just now.
