Chapter 479: Reinforcements Arrive!
Compared with the pressure on Hu Sanniang and Xueyue's side, Zhang Liao's pressure was unprecedented, and he swung his halberd and knocked away a knife in Zu Mao's hand.
Zu Mao's weapon was a double knife, and after being chopped off by Zhang Liao, there was only one knife left.
He looked at Zhang Liao, who was like the god of war, with some horror.
Zhang Liao's prestige has already shocked Huainan, so much so that the four generals of Jiangdong are afraid of Zhang Liao.
None of the four generals of Jiangdong can be compared with Zhang Liao, but it is Sun Jian and Sun Ce, the two lords of the four generals of Jiangdong, who have the ability to compete with Zhang Liao.
Zu Mao, who only had one knife left, fought Zhang Liao again, and was completely suppressed by Zhang Liao, and Zu Mao was about to be killed by Zhang Liao.
A burly figure ascended the city from the ladder, and as he appeared, Zu Mao and the soldiers around Zu Mao suddenly had a high morale and high morale!
Their lord, Sun Jian, the tiger of Jiangdong, personally attacked the city!
Among the three major camps of Wei, Shu and Wu, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian all dared to go into battle in person.
But when it comes to the most fearless, it is still Sun Jian and Sun Ce of the Jiangdong Sun family, who also died because of their personal risks.
Now Sun Jian has avoided the enemies in Jingzhou, he is alive and vigorous, there is no danger to his life, he personally ascended first, and among all the princes, he is the most fierce.
Zhang Liao had never competed with the Tiger of Jiangdong, and at this time he finally faced Sun Jian and faced great pressure.
His opponent was not only Sun Jian, but also Zu Mao, as well as the generals of other Jiangdong factions who were still in the city.
"I didn't expect there to be such a fierce general in Hefei, let me meet him for a while!"
Sun Jian held the ancient ingot knife, which was an emperor-level weapon, and the invisible murderous aura was pervasive, and the cold blade seemed to have a cold air overflowing.
Sun Jian's momentum was completely different from Zu Mao, who had just fought with Zhang Liao.
Only by becoming the enemy of the Tiger of Jiangdong can you feel Sun Jian's strength!
"Let's fight!"
Zhang Liao commanded a team of armor soldiers to attack Zu Mao and expel the enemies on the city wall, while himself, dragging the halberd, met Sun Jian.
Both of them are fierce generals, heroes for the moment, the moves open and close, the weapons collide, the pace moves, unloading, and the stagnant water on the city wall splashes.
"This person can actually fight with the main bus, on par!"
When Zu Mao saw that Zhang Liao was an opponent of Sun Jian, he couldn't help but be shocked by the high strength of Zhang Liao, he knew that Sun Jian had the bonus of an emperor-level weapon "Ancient Ingot Knife". If there was no such an emperor-level weapon, then Sun Jian might have to fall behind a little in terms of force.
Zu Mao had no time to look around, because there were soldiers killed all around, Zhang Liao realized the direction of Sun Jian's main attack, and gathered a large number of soldiers on this city wall.
"You are a fierce general, leading the troops of Hefei, loyal to me, how about it?"
Sun Jian's wrist holding the knife was sore, and Zhang Liao's strength was greater than he imagined.
Zhang Liao didn't answer, and there was no need to answer, the halberd slashed, even picking and thorning, majestic!
Sun Jian blocked them one by one, although it was a little difficult, but he would not be defeated.
His weapon is a royal weapon.
Weapons have a high bonus to the general's personal combat power.
Guan Yu can raid and kill Yan Liang in front of thousands of troops, which has a lot to do with having the Red Rabbit Horse and the Green Dragon Glaive Knife.
Zhang Liao's halberd was just a king-level weapon.
Even so, Zhang Liao is still on the offensive!
"Lord, I'm here to help you!"
Ji Ling landed in the city and found that the new lord Sun Jian was fighting with Zhang Liao, in order to ask for credit in front of Sun Jian, so he came to help with a three-pointed and two-edged knife in both hands.
Ji Ling and Sun Jian are no longer something that Zhang Liao can resist.
"We are willing to live and die with the lord!"
Zhang Liao's personal soldiers, dismounted and wolf riders, are willing to fight to the death for Zhang Liao!
They are all Bingzhou wolf riders who were surrounded by the enemy army before, and Zhang Liao rescued them, so they are grateful, life and death together!
"Good brother!"
Zhang Liao rode with a group of wolves to fight against Ji Ling and Sun Jian!
The wolf cavalry of the state was a sixth-order light cavalry, and more than a dozen light cavalry joined forces to block Ji Ling, Sun Jian and others on the narrow city wall, preventing them from using their own force to open a gap in the city wall.
Although Ji Ling's strength was inferior to that of the two, the three-pointed and two-edged knife could kill the Bingzhou wolf rider, resulting in a lot of casualties among the Bingzhou wolf riders.
Zhang Liao was annoyed, but was stopped by Sun Jian, the fierce tiger in Jiangdong, and couldn't stop Ji Ling.
The two sides used the city wall as a battle line, and the rain subsided slightly.
"I'll stop these soldiers!"
Zu Mao retrieved a knife that had been knocked away by Zhang Liao, joined Sun Jian, Ji Ling, and Zhang Liao in the battle, stopped the soldiers attacking Ji Ling, and let Ji Ling free the knife to deal with Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao once again faced the siege of Sun Jian and Ji Ling at the same time.
Unless Zhang Liao can reproduce the momentum of the mighty Xiaoyaojin in order to defeat Ji Ling as soon as possible, otherwise in a head-to-head battle, Zhang Liao may have to deal with Ji Ling in dozens of rounds.
Coupled with a Sun Jian with a higher force than Ji Ling, Zhang Liao fell into a bitter battle.
"The revenge of the day will be avenged!"
Ji Ling was defeated by Zhang Liao's halberd not long ago, and Zhang Liao at that time should have received a special bonus, otherwise he would not be so strong.
Annoyed and angry, Ji Ling wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, one for revenge, and the other for meritorious service, the three-pointed two-edged knife stabbed Zhang Liao and cut through Zhang Liao's armor!
This three-pointed two-edged knife was actually a king-level weapon created by Yuan Shu for Ji Ling.
It's a pity that the current Yuan Shu has really become a dry bone in the grave.
Zhang Liao faced the flanking attack of the two fierce generals, fought for dozens of rounds, and only took five steps back.
However, Zhang Liao's situation is not optimistic, Sun Jian is responsible for fighting Zhang Liao in a dignified manner, the ancient ingot knife opens and closes in Sun Jian's hands, sharpening iron like clay, once it is cut by the ancient ingot knife, it will most likely cause the effect of armor breaking.
Ji Ling was in charge of the sneak attack, and the three-pointed and two-edged knife was like a poisonous snake, elusive, stabbing Zhang Liao from time to time.
Suddenly, an arrow shot at Ji Ling!
Ji Ling was a fierce general after all, and he had a premonition that the aura of danger was approaching, so the three-pointed two-edged knife blocked the dark arrow that was shooting!
The sharp blade slashes through the cluster of arrows, and the dark arrows are knocked away.
Ji Ling looked in the direction where the dark arrow was coming from, and found a female general with misty temples and clouds standing on top of an arrow tower, bending her bow and arrows.
The arrow that attacked Ji Ling and supported Zhang Liao just now was shot by her.
Zhang Liao also noticed that the person who shot the arrow turned out to be Hu Sanniang.
Moreover, the target of Hu Sanniang's shooting was not him Zhang Liao, but Ji Ling, which made Zhang Liao puzzled.
Zhang Liao didn't have time to think, because Sun Jian's ancient ingot knife slashed again, like a stormy wave, slapping the reef!
Hu Sanniang shot another arrow and attacked Ji Ling!
Because Ji Ling was distracted and wary of Hu Sanniang's cold arrows, he couldn't attack Zhang Liao with all his strength, and Zhang Liao's pressure decreased.
The overall situation of the battle was not in favor of the defenders.
The rain soaked the city walls, causing the walls of Hefei to become soft, and at the same time, the power of bed crossbows and bows and arrows was greatly reduced. Some of the arrows soaked in rain were not usable at all.
Xiao Li Guanghuarong shot arrows at the wooden arrow tower under the city, and had the archery skills of a hundred steps to pierce Yang, shooting and killing the archers on the arrow tower.
Dong Ping held a short gun in each hand, a double spear general, once he landed in the city, he immediately killed all sides, and at least dozens of defenders died under his gun.
Dong Ping is one of the "Five Tiger Generals of the Water Margin", and he still has some force, and he swept through the two guns.
Sun Ce did not have an overlord gun, and the weapon he used was only a red tassel gun, and at the age of sixteen, he participated in the battle against Hefei.
This was the first time Sun Ce had fought against the Chutian forces, and the sturdy Hefei made an extremely deep impression on Sun Ce.
Now Sun Ce just wants to join forces with his father Sun Jian to break through this city as soon as possible!
Zhou Tai, as Sun Ce's bodyguard, was ordered by Sun Jian to protect Sun Ce, who had not yet reached the peak of his force.
Sun Jian thinks that Sun Ce's peak force is above him, but now Sun Ce has not grown up yet, and he can't stop Zhang Liao for more than a dozen rounds.
The battle of Hefei was extremely tragic, and it was difficult to turn the tide with Zhang Liao alone.
One Han Dang has already dragged Zang Ba and Sun Guan, and the generals in Zhang Liao's hands are not enough.
"Die! Hahaha! ”
Dong Ping was reckless with two guns, broke into the defenders, rampaged, ignoring the opponent's spear phalanx, stabbed out with two guns, and killed two defenders in a row, making the surrounding defenders frightened and retreating again and again.
Song Jiang lacked generals to command soldiers and horses, and there were many reckless generals, and Dong Ping's ability was brought into play in this battle, so he just fought hard to kill.
Dong Ping is not a good person in the Water Margin, he once killed other people's families and took their daughters as wives, but he is one of the five tiger generals in Liangshan, with high force and often takes the lead.
In Sun Jian's military camp, there was a young man of the same age as Sun Ce, with a graceful posture, looking up to the battle of Hefei.
Tongque learned that Sun Jian was blocked under Hefei City, so he sent Zu Ti and Zhou Yu of Lujiang to help.
Zu Ti was a famous general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who was good at fighting to inspire morale and grasp the hearts of the people.
Zhou Yu naturally needless to say, Tongque intends to let Zu Yu bring Zhou Yu to come to practice, so that Zhou Yu can grow up as soon as possible.
Song Jiang and Wu Yong used as a reserve to stay in the camp together to prevent the camp from being breached.
Seeing that Sun Jian personally led his troops to attack Hefei, Zu Ti shouted and made a judgment: "According to this trend, after more than a month, Hefei will fall." ”
Zhou Yu nodded, but was a little worried: "Please General Zu send scouts to guard against reinforcements from the direction of Shouchun." Hefei was besieged for a long time, but Shouchun was indifferent. The only explanation is that the Shouchun garrison has no generals available for the time being. If I were Chu Zimou, I would definitely dispatch one or two main generals from the Hebei crusade army to command the Shouchun garrison and rescue Hefei. ”
Zhou Yu's analysis not only moved Zu Ti, but also moved Wu Yong.
"You guys go and monitor the direction of Shouchun."
Zu Ti thought about it for a while, and decided to send more scout cavalry in the direction of Shouchun according to what Zhou Yu said.
There is a sequence of hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry.
Zu Ti was not a conceited person, and when he thought that Zhou Yu's proposal was reasonable, he spared no effort to support it.
Wu Yong found that his cleverness may not have Zhou Yu's overall view.
Zhou Yu, who has grown to the peak, will be very terrifying.
In the direction of Hefei to Shouchun, there is a support army marching!
Flying General Li Guangzheng was young and vigorous, his arms were like apes, and his riding skills were also top-notch, and he couldn't wait to fight with Sun Jian, the tiger of Jiangdong.
Li Guang has not killed the generals with his own hands recently, and his hands are already itchy and unbearable.
His force has reached the level of the real Five Tigers, and once he joins the Hefei battlefield, he will subvert the entire battlefield.
The 5,000 cavalry of the Invincible Legion, the 2,000 cavalry of Li Guang, and the defenders of Shouchun sent 10,000 infantry, a total of 17,000 cavalry, braved the heavy rain to come to support, and the roads were muddy, so that the cavalry could not exert their combat strength.
"I still like the North."
Li Guang complained.
Li Guang's hidden background was a military general in Longxi, and he was active in the north of the Huai River for a long time.
On rainy days, Huainan swamps were everywhere, and the power of the cavalry was greatly suppressed because of the terrain.
Not only that, but because of the humid weather, the maintenance of the bow and arrow is a serious problem, and the power will also decrease.
At this time, the most useful is the infantry.
As a double-line military general of the bow and riding lines, Li Guang was bitter.
Originally, his idea was to take the lead and shoot Sun Jian, the tiger of Jiangdong, to overwhelm Zhang Liao.
This is good, once you arrive in Huainan, it will rain for more than a month, and there are swamps and lakes everywhere, and it is difficult for the cavalry to charge.
The light cavalry is okay, the heavy cavalry arrives in Huainan, and if they encounter this disgusting weather again, it is estimated that they will be wiped out by the infantry.
Mu Guiying, Yang Ye, and Yang Yanzhao were also not suitable for the water and soil of Huainan, but they were ordered by Chutian to come to the aid of Huainan, and they had an unshirkable duty.
When 17,000 soldiers were about to arrive in Hefei, the rain had subsided slightly, and the sky was still gloomy.
"Enemy scouts spotted ahead!"
The Invincible Legion and Shouchun reinforcements were discovered by the scouts sent by Zu Li in the five miles north of Hefei City!
"Attack now!"
Mu Guiying made a decision immediately.
When spotting the opposing team's scouts, it means that the enemy's main force will soon find out.
Therefore, Mu Guiying, Yang Ye, Li Guang and others urged the soldiers to pursue the other party's scouts and shorten the time difference!
"Enemy reinforcements have arrived!"
The scout cavalry quickly moved south, informing Zu Ti and Zhou Yu in advance.
Zu Ti immediately ordered: "Mingjin collects the troops, and orders the Changsha Taishou and the generals to give up attacking Hefei!" ”
Zu Ti knew that under the premise that the reinforcements from Hefei had arrived, Sun Jian was still attacking the city, so it was very likely that he would be attacked by the reinforcements and defenders inside and outside, and the whole army would be annihilated!
Zu Ti's battalion Ming Jin withdrew his troops and reminded Sun Jian and others who were still fighting with the defenders at this time.
"Gong Jin, it seems that your judgment is correct, the Shouchun defenders have really been waiting for the commander to arrive. Now they dare to take the initiative to come to the rescue of Hefei, which shows that they are prepared. I personally commanded the infantry and met it. ”
Zu Ti commanded the infantry to meet the reinforcements arriving from the direction of Shouchun, buying time for Sun Jian's retreat.
Zu Ti himself was a famous general, commanding infantry formations that were good at fighting in Huainan, and was not afraid of the opponent's cavalry.
The rainy weather and swampy terrain in Huainan prevented the cavalry of the reinforcements from launching a charge, and the threat became smaller.
Even, the cavalry of the invincible legion had to dismount and fight on foot and become hand-to-hand infantry or archers......
Zhang Liao had already suffered several wounds, panting like a cow, and after Ji Ling was restrained by Hu Sanniang, Dong Ping was assaulted with two guns and joined Sun Jian.
Sun Jian and Dong Ping were beyond the scope of Zhang Liao's force.
If it weren't for the soldiers fighting to the death, perhaps Zhang Liao would have been severely injured and killed at this time.
Suddenly, Sun Jian heard the sound of the battalion Mingjin retreating, and his face changed slightly.
This time, he poured out of the nest, and it was only a matter of time before he captured Hefei, and he could make a difference to the copper sparrow, but he fell short!
"Retreat!"
Sun Jian heard the sound of Ming Jin's withdrawal again, and Zu Ti urged urgently, indicating that the situation was indeed unfavorable.
