While the battle at the city gate was in full swing, the desperate fight on the southern city wall was still going on. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Originally, because Guan Yu personally led the Sharp Knife Company to support the southern city wall, the Yellow Turban Army had gradually been pressed down from the city wall. However, due to the addition of the new force of the Yellow Turban Army, the situation was gradually reversed by the Yellow Turban Army. However, the Yellow Turban Army did not take advantage of anything, and as the Dingping Army continued to throw its strength into the southern city wall, the two sides formed a stalemate on the southern city wall.

At this time, the situation on the southern city wall is like two bulls in a fierce battle, and whoever can hold out to the end will win. However, if the situation continues like this, it is impossible for the Dingping Army, which is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, to achieve a final victory.

Guan Yu brandished the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife, roaring again and again, covered in blood, that appearance was really hideous and terrifying. The Sharp Knife Company and other officers and soldiers of the Dingping Army all fought bravely to be the first to sacrifice their lives.

However, the Yellow Turban Army did not show weakness, although their casualties were much higher than that of the Dingping Army, but their strength advantage was more obvious, and the Yellow Turban Army relied on the strength advantage to form a stalemate with the Dingping Army on the southern city wall.

Just when the two sides were fighting bloodily, a special unit of the Dingping Army came to reinforce them, they did not wear armor, did not hold weapons, only held a fire and thunder bag, they were the soldiers of the Hundred Beast Battalion who were urgently sent by the equation.

The soldiers on both sides who had already killed the red eyes didn't pay any attention to the warriors of the Hundred Beast Battalion coming from the city wall, they were still fighting endlessly.

A moment later, more than a dozen fire and thunder bags were thrown off the city wall, and then a dozen terrifying red flames rose up in the crowded Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban Army suddenly screamed and fell in large pieces, and at the same time, six of the eight ladders erected here were destroyed.

The Yellow Turban Army killed more than 500 people in this attack of the Dingping Army, and the astonishing power of the fire and thunder bag shocked all the people on both sides.

Zhang Mancheng couldn't help but be anxious and angry when he saw the scene of the bombing of the fire and thunder bag, only to hear him roar angrily: "Where did Zhang Yi get this 'monster'!" Let our soldiers suffer such heavy casualties! ”

At this time, Du Xiang, who had been frowning, spoke, and he hugged his fist at Zhang Mancheng and said, "Qu Shuai, this thunderous thing is made of gunpowder. ”

"Gunpowder!"

Zhang Mancheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a questioning face: "Strategist, I have also seen this gunpowder, although gunpowder is much more flammable than other things, it does not seem to have such amazing power!" ”

Shaking his head, Du Xiang explained: "Qu Shuai, the reason why I think it is gunpowder is completely inferred from the characteristics of the burning of that object, and the gunpowder is also that red flame when it burns, but whether it is or not, I am not sure!" ”

Although he knew the explosion principle of gunpowder, Du Xiang didn't know how to explain it to Zhang Mancheng, so he could only cover it up with vague statements.

Zhang Mancheng frowned and thought for a moment, and then said, "Let this matter go for the time being." ”

Then turn your attention back to the battlefield in full swing.

The attack of the fire and thunder bag played a crucial role, and the momentum of the Yellow Turban Army's ascent to the city was fiercely contained, most of the eight climbing ladders here were destroyed, and the officers and soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who gathered near the cloud ladder to prepare to ascend the city were hit hard by the fire and thunder bags, and the speed of the Yellow Turban Army to replenish the troops at the head of the city plummeted tenfold.

The Dingping Army took the opportunity to counterattack, and the Yellow Turban Army soon fell into decline due to the lack of timely support.

The Yellow Turbans under the city desperately tried to rush back to the city, but under the double blow of Dingping's arms and thunder packs and sassal wood and stones, they still failed to achieve their goal after paying a heavy price.

Guan Yu led the soldiers of the Dingping Army to sweep the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city like a storm. After a fierce fight, the Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city was finally cleared.

At this point, the battle for this piece of the city is temporarily over, leaving only a tragic scene on the city, full of corpses of soldiers on both sides, blood stained this piece of city bricks into dark red, Guan Yu and the surviving Dingping army soldiers stood panting in this piece of blood.

Next, the Yellow Turban Army launched several more attacks, but the intensity of the attack was far less fierce than just now, Zhang Mancheng changed the attack force several times in a row, and it was still the same.

At this moment, Zhang Mancheng understood that the morale of the army had begun to fall, and if he continued to fight, there would be no result except for increasing casualties.

In desperation, Zhang Mancheng had to order the troops to be withdrawn.

As a piercing golden bell rang, both sides couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The Yellow Turban Army, which was besieging the city, retreated like a tide in the setting sun.

The bloody battle of the day is finally over. In this day's battle, the Yellow Turban Army has invested 70,000 troops to attack the city, and the defenders of the Dingping Army have basically all been on the field, the Dingping Army has paid a heavy price of 7,000 casualties, and the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army have reached nearly 40,000, and the total number of casualties on both sides has reached an astonishing more than 50,000 in one day, which is absolutely unprecedented! This also shows how tragic this battle was!

"Equation, how can you watch them die without saving them, you damn it!"

In the county office, Lu Bu was angry at the equation, Li Wei and the death of the hundreds of sharp knife company soldiers made Lu Bu's heart as heavy as being pressed by a big stone, although Lu Bu also knew that those soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company who followed him out must be nine deaths, but he was depressed, the reason for the depression was that he himself survived, at this time Lu Bu regarded himself as a deserter in his heart, a deserter who abandoned the Pao Ze brothers and lived alone.

"General!"

Kneeling on the ground, the equation wanted to persuade Lu Bu, but he didn't know how to speak, and at this moment, someone outside shouted that the corpses of the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Company who followed Lu Bu were collected back.

Hearing that the corpses of those people had returned, Lu Bu ignored the injuries on his body and quickly ran out of the room.

In the empty field of Gaoyang, hundreds of corpses were neatly lined up on the ground, all covered with white cloths, and around them, the soldiers of the three battalions all stood with their heads down, everyone's eyes were red, but no one cried, because they were soldiers, and they were soldiers of the Dingping Army who could only shed blood and could not shed tears.

"What about Li Wei? Li Wei! ”

After hurrying to the square, Lu Bu shouted like crazy and asked where Li Wei's body was, but no one could tell him, because the collection of the corpse was carried out in a hurry, and there was no time to carefully distinguish it.

Unable to get an answer, Lu Bu was like crazy, looking through the white cloth one by one, but the first one to find was the little soldier who said that he could come back, he was stabbed six times, and his intestines flowed out.

"Bastard!" Lu Bu, who was trembling all over, stared at the little soldier's face and shouted hoarsely: "Didn't you say that you could come back by yourself? You liar, bastard! Get up for me! ”

While shouting, Lu Bu wanted to pull the corpse of the little soldier, and at this time, Guan Yu, who rushed to hear the news, hurriedly stepped forward to pull Lu Bu.

Hugging Lu Bu, Guan Yu also shouted hoarsely: "Fengxian, the brothers have already gone, you let them go to the Pure Land of Bliss quietly!" ”

The Pure Land of Bliss was a concept that Zhang Yi had instilled in the whole army, and even Guan Yu was convinced that he would be able to go to the Pure Land of Bliss after his death.

"Damn it!"

Roaring, Lu Bu broke free from Guan Yu and began to continue looking for Li Wei's body, not far from the little soldier, Lu Bu found Li Wei's body, looking at the big black hole in Li Wei's chest, Lu Bu couldn't suppress his feelings anymore.

Pointing to Li Wei's corpse, Lu Bu scolded loudly: "Li Wei, you bastard, you dare to sneak attack Lao Tzu, do you think Lao Tzu is not worthy of living and dying with you?" Yes? You bastard! ”

Although he scolded in his mouth, in fact, Lu Bu's tears were like beads with broken threads, constantly flowing down, and he could only try to control them and not let himself cry.

The whole body trembled, slowly squatting down, Lu Bu didn't care if the blood on Li Wei's body would stain his clothes, he hugged Li Wei's corpse and roared loudly: "Damn Yellow Turban Dog, Lao Tzu swears to stand with you, if you don't kill you all, Lao Tzu will change his surname to Donkey!" ”

Just as Lu Bu was scolding, the drums of the Yellow Turban Army attacking the city were heard outside the city again.

The Yellow Turban Army retreated before, but the siege on all sides did not change, because their retreat was only temporary, knowing that the reinforcements of the Dingping Army would arrive at any time, Zhang Mancheng of course did not dare to slack off, after the first wave of siege, only two hours of rest, Zhang Mancheng launched an attack again.

"Kill!"

Outside the north city wall of Gaoyang City, 15,000 Yellow Turban Army foot soldiers scattered very widely, carrying cloud ladders, shouting and rushing to the city wall, this time Zhang Mancheng, who also did not have many troops, chose to concentrate his forces to attack the north city wall, as for the other three city walls, they each sent more than 2,000 people to attack, but even so, the Dingping Army, which was already overstretched, was quite difficult to resist, and could only transfer the Hundred Beast Battalion, which was originally used to defend the city gate, to be responsible for throwing fire and thunder bags.

At the beginning, the Yellow Turban Army began to rush up like crazy, and the situation on the southern city wall instantly became anxious, and both sides were sacrificing their lives to fight, just like two bulls that were competing, whoever could hold out to the end would win. However, if the situation continues like this, it is impossible for the Dingping Army, which is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, to achieve a final victory.

Guan Yu brandished the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife, roaring again and again, covered in blood, that appearance was really hideous and terrifying. The Sharp Knife Company and other officers and soldiers of the Dingping Army all fought bravely to be the first to sacrifice their lives.

However, the Yellow Turban Army did not show weakness, although their casualties were much higher than that of the Dingping Army, but their strength advantage was more obvious, and the Yellow Turban Army relied on the strength advantage to form a stalemate with the Dingping Army on the southern city wall.

In the north city wall, the attack of the fire thunder bag played a vital role, although the number of the Yellow Turban Army was very large, but under the double blow of the Dingping army's fire and thunder bag and the wood and stone, the momentum of the Yellow Turban Army's ascent to the city was fiercely contained, and most of the ten ladders here were destroyed, and the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who gathered near the ladder to prepare to ascend the city were hit hard by the fire and thunder packs, and the speed of the Yellow Turban Army to replenish the troops at the head of the city plummeted tenfold.

The Dingping Army took the opportunity to counterattack, and the Yellow Turban Army soon fell into decline due to the lack of timely support.

The Yellow Turbans under the city desperately tried to rush back to the city, but under the double blow of Dingping's arms and thunder packs and sassal wood and stones, they still failed to achieve their goal after paying a heavy price.

The sound of shouting and killing, the sound of explosions, kept echoing in the sky above Gaoyang City, people, one after another, died, gradually, Lu Bu and Guan Yu felt that the defense was becoming more and more difficult, and Lu Bu, who was already injured, couldn't even wave the Fang Tian halberd in his hand.

Just when the Dingping Army was on the verge of despair, the Yellow Turban Army camp in the south suddenly became chaotic, and it turned out that Zhang Fei and Xiao Wu had taken the Wind Battalion and the Fengwu Battalion to kill first.

"Haha, yellow turban children, your third grandfather Zhang is here! Sons, kill! ”

Laughing wildly, Zhang Fei urged his black horse and rushed towards the Yellow Turban Army's military formation, and behind him, there were tens of thousands of cavalry of the Wind Battalion.

"Sisters, follow me!"

With a wave of the waning moon knife in her hand, Xiao Wu slapped her horse and rushed to the front, and all the yellow turban soldiers who dared to stop her were cut into two knots by one of her knives.

At this time, most of the Yellow Turban Army left in the south were soldiers during the daytime siege, and they all played for a day's life, and most of them were exhausted at this time, although the Wind Battalion and the Fengwu Battalion were also tired from rushing continuously, but the overall situation was better than them I don't know how many times, so after the encounter, they were easily dispersed by the Wind Battalion and the Phoenix Dance Battalion.

"Damn it, give it to me!"

The Yellow Turban Canal in the south was poisoned, and when he saw that his side was rushed and crushed, he hurriedly killed two deserters with a knife, but he could not stop his rout at all, and at this time, he saw a Han general in black armor with a black face rushing towards him, and he raised his sword to meet him.

Yu Poison seemed to be able to reverse his own decline as long as he killed the enemy general, but it turned out that he really thought too much.

Seeing that there was a general who looked like a military general rushing towards him with a knife, Zhang Fei's eyes immediately lit up with a bloodthirsty red light, he immediately roared, and then raised his Zhangba snake spear to meet him, but he didn't expect that his own tiger roar actually directly scared Yu Poison.

When it comes to martial arts, there is no doubt that Lu Bu should be in the Dingping Army; When it comes to archery, if Huang Zhongruo talks about the first, Lu Bu dares to step forward to compete, but whether he can earn it is two words; When it comes to military training, although everyone is unconvinced, Gao Shun's ability is also obvious to all; It can be said that Zhang Fei can't come out on top everywhere, and even he is still under Dian Wei compared to the big guy, but if you want to compare your voice, Zhang Fei said that he is the second, and no one dares to say that he is the first, when Lu Bu and Zhang Fei fought for the first time, Zhang Fei yelled, and Lu Bu was startled, which shows that Zhang Fei's voice is indeed not small.

After all, in terms of time, Zhang Fei also roared to death Xia Houde with one voice.

Of course, as one of the top five fierce generals in the Yellow Turban Army, Yu Poison naturally would not be scared to death by Zhang Fei's throat, but it was possible to be stunned, but the kung fu of a stunned man on the battlefield was enough to determine his life and death.

Taking advantage of Yu Poison's stunned kung fu, Zhang Fei handed out the spear as quickly as a thunderbolt, and a spear would fall off the poison pick.

After a spear was killed by the poison, Zhang Fei did not pause at all, and immediately waved his spear to continue to chase and kill the Yellow Turban army.

The shouting and killing sound in the south, especially Zhang Fei's tiger roar, made the soldiers of the Dingping Army who were fighting the city wall immediately come to their senses.

After hearing that it was Zhang Fei's shout, Guan Yu immediately shouted loudly: "Brothers, the reinforcements have arrived, kill!" ”

"Kill!"

Guan Yu's reinforcements arrived, like a shot in the arm, so that the soldiers of the Dingping Army, who had already fallen into a decline and barely resisted, immediately came to the spirit, and raised their knives to kill the Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city, on the contrary, when they learned that the other party's reinforcements had arrived, the momentum of the Yellow Turban Army fell to the bottom, and many Yellow Turban soldiers who had originally climbed to the city on the ladder even began to retreat.

"Shower Camp, follow me!"

Just as the saying circulated in the Dingping army, when the wind arrived, the shower was not far away, just when Zhang Fei and Xiao Wu chased and killed the southern rout, Wen Ping led 10,000 shower battalions from the southwest to kill, and rushed straight to the Yellow Turban Army on the west side, at the same time, in the southeast, Zhang Yi personally led the Golden Sword Guard to kill the camp of the Yellow Turban Army in the east, and with the strong combat power of the Golden Sword Guard, he instantly dispersed the front of the Yellow Turban Army in the east, and Li Damu died in the chaos of the army.

The news of the arrival of the reinforcements of the Dingping Army soon reached Zhang Mancheng's ears, and the reinforcements of the Dingping Army actually arrived, and Zhang Mancheng killed the whole person, because in his opinion, the reinforcements of the Dingping Army will not arrive until tomorrow evening at the earliest, how can they arrive tonight? What he didn't know was that Zhang Yi had already known his movements, and the time of departure from Hejian City was two full days earlier than he expected, and Zhang Yi had only arrived now, or because he had taken into account the problem of his own combat strength, he had rested on the road for a while, otherwise Zhang Yi's reinforcements would probably arrive at the same time as him.

Knowing that Zhang Yi had arrived, Du Xiang hurriedly told Zhang Mancheng to send troops to support the other Yellow Turban Army, but before Zhang Mancheng could give an order, someone came to report that there was another team of Han cavalry behind them.

"What? Behind us? How can it be? ”

After hearing Tanma's return, Zhang Mancheng and Du Xiang were dumbfounded, and just when they were stunned, there was a shouting of the Dingping army behind them.

"Dead in battle! I'm invincible! ”

It turned out that it was Gao Shun and his trapped camp who went around behind Zhang Mancheng, and the reason why Gao Shun and the trapped camp were able to go around behind Zhang Mancheng was because of Ma Hao, who was trapped in the camp.

Knowing that their back road had been cut off by the Dingping Army, the Yellow Turban Army was in a mess, and under the impact of the five thousand fallen soldiers, they were scattered without any resistance, and Zhang Mancheng and Du Xiang, who knew that they had no power to return to the sky, had to flee to the southeast in a hurry under the cover of Zuo Zhangba.

Although he saw that the main general of the Yellow Turban Army seemed to have fled to the southeast, Gao Shun could not chase after him, because the Yellow Turban Army was too chaotic and there were too many of them, and it was night, Gao Shun was afraid of an ambush, so Zhang Mancheng and Du Xiang escaped.

Although Zhang Mancheng and Du Xiang fled, but the main force of the Yellow Turban Army was not so lucky, the remaining Yellow Turban Army, either killed by the Dingping Army, or captured, in short, this battle in Gaoyang City, Zhang Yi can be said to have won a great victory, the Yellow Turban Army that was killed, more than 70,000, of course, most of them were killed in Gaoyang City, and the rest were killed by the cavalry, among the remaining 30,000 people, more than 20,000 were captured, and the other less than 10,000 people scattered and fled, just to hunt down those deserters, The Dingping army was busy all night, but after all, it was night, and many people still took advantage of the night to escape.

Not to mention how the Dingping Army captured those deserters, it is only said that after Zhang Yi dispersed the Yellow Turban Army in the east, he immediately rushed to Gaoyang City with the Golden Sword Guard, which is why Zhang Mancheng and the others were able to escape from the southeast.

As soon as he arrived outside Gaoyang City, Zhang Yi couldn't help but gasp.

Outside Gaoyang City, the entire city wall is almost stained red with blood, under the city wall, there are all the corpses of the Yellow Turban Army, of course, there are also the corpses of the Dingping Army, but the number is very small, after entering the city, the streets and alleys are full of blood-soaked wounded soldiers, and there are many corpses of dead zombies that have not had time to deal with are placed on both sides of the street in rows; There were a lot of people who didn't wear armor and were busy shuttling back and forth among the wounded soldiers, and they were the people around them who volunteered to defend the city, but Guan Yu didn't send these people to the battlefield.

As soon as he entered Gaoyang City, Zhang Yi didn't have time to rest for a while and immediately convened the generals to discuss the matter.

"Yun Chang, what is the current situation? How many soldiers are there in the city who can fight? ”

The anxious Zhang Yi asked two questions in a row.

Sitting on Zhang Yi's left is Gaoyang City's guard Guan Yu, sitting on Zhang Yi's right, there are more than a dozen generals sitting under the two, including Zhang Yi's brought, as well as the company commanders of each company in Gaoyang City, the spirit of those who followed Zhang Yi is not bad, but those who were originally stationed in Gaoyang City, including Guan Yu and Lu Bu, their mental state is not very good, everyone's eyes are deep-set, and their eyes are bloodshot.

Hearing Zhang Yi's question, Guan Yu replied in a hoarse voice without thinking about it: "Now there are only more than 1,000 soldiers left in Gaoyang City!" Among them, there are only more than 100 people left in the most capable sharp knife company! ”

These numbers were in Guan Yu's heart all the time, and he didn't need to think about it at all, and he didn't need to ask.

Zhang Yi frowned slightly and nodded, and then sighed: "It's really hard for you two, Fengxian, why are you still injured?" Why don't you wear the Xuanjin armor I gave you!? ”

At the end of the words, there was a faint hint of reproach in Zhang Yi's voice, if Lu Bu usually felt warm in his heart, but at this time, Lu Bu didn't have so much extra thoughts to feel Zhang Yi's words, he used a slightly sad tone to tell Zhang Yi about Li Wei and the hundreds of sharp knife soldiers, and Zhang Yi couldn't help but reddened his eyes when he listened.

"They are all good, especially Li Wei," after nodding, Zhang Yi thought for a while and said: "The soldiers who died in Gaoyang City this time will have their pensions doubled, and their families will be exempt from taxes and forced labor for five years, especially the soldiers of the hundreds of sharp knife companies, and they should be redoubled to be appeased and treat their parents and children well." ”

"They have children?"

Listening to Zhang Yi's words, Lu Bu's eyes immediately lit up with a strange light.

Zhang Yi didn't notice Lu Bu's strange appearance, and still said to himself: "Yes, I don't know much about others, but I still know Li Wei, the commander of the third battalion sharp knife company, he has a son, who is five years old, Yun Chang, if there are descendants, you can report it to me, and we must be kind to the heroes." ”

Lu Bu didn't pay attention to Zhang Yi's later words, because he already had other plans in his heart.

After inquiring about the situation of the Gaoyang defenders, Zhang Yi was about to say something else, when Zhang Fei's loud laughter suddenly came from outside.

"Haha......" laughing all the way, Zhang Fei stepped into the lobby, and after saluting Zhang Yi and Guan Yu first, Zhang Fei shouted loudly: "Big brother, tonight's battle is really happy, my old Zhang killed more than 300 Yellow Turban thieves, happy, too happy!" ”

Zhang Fei's guy, as soon as he killed, he only cared about his own pleasure, and forgot everything else.

"You guy," Zhang Yi frowned and said after listening to Zhang Fei's words: "Didn't I tell you, try to catch it alive, you know how to kill and kill, do you really want to be angry and die?" ”

As soon as Zhang Yi said this, Zhang Fei suddenly thought that Zhang Yi had indeed said that most of the Yellow Turban Army were helpless ordinary people, and they would catch them alive if they could.

After thinking of Zhang Yi's words, Zhang Fei hurriedly accompanied the smiling face, and said that he was wrong, and he must pay attention in the future, but fortunately, Zhang Yi was not really angry, so he spared him.

Zhang Fei had just finished smiling with Zhang Yi here, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw the injured Lu Bu, with the relationship between Zhang Fei and Lu Bu, seeing that Lu Bu was injured, he naturally would not let him go easily.

"Yoh?" Pretending to be surprised, looking at the injury on Lu Bu's shoulder socket, Zhang Fei grinned: "What? Our first fierce general of the Dingping Army was injured? Hey, hey, it's still two, who is so powerful, can still hurt our General Lu, I really want to see it, ah? Haha......"

Listening to Zhang Fei's smug laughter, Lu Bu's nose was almost crooked.

Huo Ran got up, Lu Bu raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Fei and said angrily: "Butcher Zhang, you... Sizzle~"

Lu Bu was not only injured in the shoulder socket at this time, but also the forearm of the other arm, so as soon as he raised his hand and pulled the wound, his face changed in pain.

"Yide!"

Seeing that Lu Bu's face instantly turned pale, Zhang Yiden angrily scolded Zhang Fei: "Feng Xian was injured in a hard battle, what are you laughing at?" ”

"Big brother, you misunderstood me," hurriedly put away his smiling face, Zhang Fei said bitterly: "I'm not gloating, I'm really curious, with a donkey, oh no, with General Lu's ability, the person who can hurt him, how powerful is that, I guess, the three of me Lao Zhang, I can't beat it, I ......"

"Okay, okay," Zhang Yi, who was too lazy to listen to Zhang Fei's stinky poverty, waved his hand to interrupt him, and said at the same time: "Find a place to sit down." ”

"Alas," Hehe smiled and nodded at Zhang Yi, Zhang Fei said while looking for a place to sit down: "Judging from General Lu's injury, you will not be able to participate in the next attack on Pinglingdu." ”

"What do you say?"

Hearing Zhang Fei say that he could not participate in the battle of Pinglingdu, Lu Buden was anxious, but at this time Zhang Yi spoke.

"Yide is right, Feng Xian, then you will stay in Gaoyang to recuperate."

After listening to Zhang Yi's words, Lu Buzhen himself sat down on the chair like a frosted eggplant.
