Chapter 525: Desperately Burning the Well!
Under Xiangcheng, the fire was still burning, and the Cao army did not retreat, but temporarily withdrew to the range of archers and light crossbowmen in the city, while more than ten tall wells outside the city continued to be powerful, and the head of Xiangcheng kept pouring arrows. On the long street in Xiangcheng City, a thousand cavalry stood quietly on the long street.
There was no cavalry in the establishment of the Nanyang Corps, but Zhang Xiu felt that it was impossible to garrison a place without cavalry, so he asked Xu Huang to form 3,000 cavalry in case of emergency.
However, Xu Huang brought one of the 1,000 cavalry to Xiangcheng, which was originally only used as a horse scout, but he did not expect that they would be used now. "Click-and-Click-one"
The crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded, Xu Huang held a big axe, and rode his horse to the front of a thousand cavalry, "His eyes swept over the faces of a thousand cavalrymen like knives, and he asked in a condensed voice: "Brothers, you are terrible to death?" Unafraid!!! ”
A thousand cavalrymen heard Xu Huang's words and replied violently. These are all Nanyang disciples, deeply favored by Zhang Xiu, and now the Cao army wants to attack Nanyang and destroy their homeland, they naturally have to defend it to the death!
Xu Yang nodded solemnly, pointed to the faintly visible well outside the city, and said loudly: "Now the damned Cao army has erected a well outside the city, and their sharp arrows can fall on our city, but our archers can't shoot them!" "Suddenly took a deep breath" Xu Huang asked loudly, "Brothers, do you know what kind of place this is?" "Xiangcheng!" A cadre of cavalry replied again loudly. Xu Yan asked again in a condensed voice, "Do you know what is behind Xiangcheng?" ”“II1o!”
"That's right! It's Nanyang! There are your parents, your sisters, and your wives and children! If Xiangcheng is breached, do you know what the consequences will be for them? Speaking of this, Xu Min looked around at everyone. A thousand cavalrymen did not answer, but the sound of breathing became heavy, and the murderous expression on their faces appeared.
"If you don't answer, I will answer on your behalf! As long as Xiangcheng is breached, your parents will be killed by the enemy! Your sisters and your wives and daughters will be humiliated by the enemy! And your children, too, will be killed! Cao Jun slaughtered Xuzhou three times, and Surabaya was cut off, will you let this murderous army enter Nanyang? "No, it won't! No! "And what should you do?" "Burn the enemy's well! Defend Xiangcheng! Kill! Kill! Kill! "Qiang Qiang Qiang 111111" The sound of a thousand cavalry shouting and killing broke out, and at the same time, the weapons in their hands kept knocking, making a crisp chirp
Xu Yang raised the big axe and shouted, "Good! To defend your homeland, kill! As soon as Xu Huang's words fell, he immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards the city gate, and a thousand cavalry also suddenly instigated their horses and followed closely behind. Crunch 11111111 "Woo Woo 111111"
Just when Cao Cao was smiling and admiring the scene of Jing Yan's blow to the defenders at the head of Xiangcheng, and the defenders could not resist. The heavy city gate of Xiangcheng suddenly opened, and the desolate and loud horn sound was blown, which was the unique horn sound of Zhang Xiujun! "Boom 111111" The next moment, thousands of cavalry rushed through the wall of fire and killed Sergeant Cao.
When Cao Cao saw it, he glared and said in surprise: "There are cavalry!" Then he lost his voice and said, "Not good! The well is in danger! Pass the order down, regardless of losses, protect every well, and don't let the enemy succeed! ”
Although Cao Cao's response was fast, it took time for orders to be delivered. At this time, Xu Huang had already led a thousand cavalry troops into the Cao army's array. At this time, the Cao army, which had been paying attention to the city, had time to react, and the cavalry had already arrived, and the Cao army retreated to both sides like a wave. This cavalry was like a sharp boning knife, viciously piercing into the Cao army's array.
Xu Yan led this cavalry to make a sudden move, obviously catching Cao Jun off guard, and easily killed Cao Jun's front line. After that, just as Cao Cao expected, the cavalry did not turn around, but divided into more than a dozen units and rushed towards more than ten wells respectively! "Stop them! Come on! ”
There was no need for Cao Cao to remind them, Li Dian, Le Jin, and Yu Ban all knew what was going on, and immediately commanded the soldiers to stop it. Although Cao Junbu was elite, how could he come as fast as the cavalry, and often just rushed to the place where the cavalry was, and the cavalry was already far away.
Xia Houde, who was guarding the well, saw that the cavalry was coming fiercely, but the support of Le Jin and others had not arrived, and he knew that he could only rely on his own troops to protect the well. So he immediately shouted and shouted, "Brothers, come forward! Resist! Don't let the enemy get your way! Just hold on for a moment, and the enemy won't be able to help us! Kill! ”
The guards of the well can be regarded as the elite of the Cao army, I saw that the Cao army guarding in front of the well quickly set up a formation, the Cao army in the front row held a leather shield in one hand, and a sharp spear in the other, slightly raised in an oblique upward direction, as long as the cavalry killed, the spear in their hands will be stabbed out! "Die!"
I only heard Xu Huang shouting, and the big axe in his hand slashed into the air. It rolled like a big wave of the long river, and the two members desperately blocked the way, Colonel Cao Jun. "Dangdang 111111"
Two crisp voices sounded, and the spears in the hands of the two junior colonels Cao Jun were taken off, and at the same time, blood flashed, and even the people with armor were turned into severed limbs by Xu Huangbi! In the rain of blood splashing in the sky, Xu Huang rode forward, and finally tore a gap in the strict and solid defense line. The number-r cavalry following behind Xu Huang was like a bison that smelled blood, and they rode their horses furiously and crashed into the dense array of guns in front of them! "Beech !!" "Keep your family! Even if you die, you have to burn the well to make trouble!! "Kill!!" "Puff puff one one one one one 1 1 "
Sharp spears stabbed from all directions, and in an instant, the two cavalry companies that rushed to the front were poked into hedgehogs! When the tips of the blood-dripping spears pierced out from the back of the cavalry, the eyes of the two knights had turned red. Like a dying beast, it exudes a palpitating rage! 1. Roar one by one by one
In the terrible roar, in the face of the spear that was about to be pierced, the cavalry behind was not afraid, his arms were raised, and the two leather bags were thrown in the air! Flying forward a short distance, it slammed into the well with a bang. The heavy force caused the skin to burst open, and the fire oil inside splashed the front end of the well everywhere.
A drop of the fire oil that splashed up happened to fall on the lips of a Cao sergeant. The Cao sergeant licked his lips unconsciously, the spicy taste of the fire oil and the pungent smell stimulated the nerves in the Cao sergeant's mouth and nose at the same time. The Cao sergeant's face changed instantly, and he shouted, "Not good! It's fire oil! Stop them! "But it's too late for this Sergeant Cao's reminder.
At this time, the galloping ride ar. At the cost of more than a dozen lives, he had slammed into a passage close to the well. The rest of the cavalry roared forward and slammed the leather bag hanging from the saddle on the well. The skin was suddenly shattered above the upper well, and the fire oil was sprinkled all over the bottom of the well and flowed all over the ground.
Not far away, a cavalryman who had been prepared for a long time bent his bow and back, and the faintly burning rocket "crackled", and this cavalryman had already bribed the rocket to the well full of fire oil!
"Not good! Kill him! Fast! "All the Cao soldiers who saw this scene shouted almost at the same time, and at the same time, more than a dozen Cao army archers had already released the sharp arrows in their hands and shot straight at this cavalry of Zhang Xiujun!" Puff puff puff 111111"
The body was even hit by a sharp arrow, and the big bow that was originally held high also fell to the ground, and only the hand that was originally tightly clasped with the sharp arrow held the burning arrow stubbornly.
This battlefield seemed to be silent in an instant, and all the eyes of the Cao army were focused on this cavalryman! "Protect Xiangcheng! Protect your family! Burn down the enemy's wells! At this moment, thinking of the oath before going into battle, infinite strength suddenly surged in the body of this dying cavalryman!
A sergeant of the Cao army was about to step forward and kill the cavalry to get rid of the trouble. But the next moment, his eyes widened in disbelief, but it was the cavalryman who was already in control of the war horse, and the heavy iron hooves stepped on the head of the cavalryman fiercely, and for a moment, his brain burst!
At the same time, the cavalryman struck the horse with a fist, and the horse immediately spread its hooves and galloped in the direction of the well. At the same time, the cavalryman had already broken the skin, and the fire oil inside couldn't stop flowing out. The cavalryman threw the oil on his body with all his might, and at the same time held the still burning rocket in his hand and slashed at the oil-stained body without hesitation! "Hoo one one one one 1 one"
The flames engulfed the horseman's body in one fell swoop, but his unyielding fighting spirit kept him from falling, and his eyes stared at the well that was getting closer and closer!
Finally, there was a loud "boom", and even the cavalry with men and horses was engulfed by the fire and crashed into the well covered with oil, and the fire suddenly ignited, and at the same time spread quickly, engulfing the bottom of the well at once, and I believe that it will not be long before the foundation of the well will fall.
A similar scene was born under the wells of the Cao army, although not all of them were burned because of this, but this surprise attack of the cavalry led by Xu Huang destroyed most of the wells of the Cao army.
Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, as well as the well that was gradually engulfed by the fire, Xu Yang muttered: "They are all good sons and daughters of Nanyang!" After speaking, he gritted his teeth fiercely and shouted at the remaining cavalry: "Go back!" ”
Xu Yan led the remaining cavalry to withdraw, but on the other side, Xia Houde looked fixedly at the well that was burned by the fire. muttering = "It's over...... It's all over! After speaking, he suddenly glared at Xu Huang who was coming to him, and shouted: "It's all you!" Give me death! Under the heavy drinking, Xia Houde waved his war knife and pounced on the oncoming Xu Yan.
Xu Yan looked at Xiahoude, who was rushing desperately, and scolded with a sneer: "Stupid! Although he scolded in his mouth, he did not hesitate at all with the big axe in his hand, and with the strong impact of the war horse, Xu Huang poured all the hatred of watching his soldiers die in a tragic battle on this axe, and slashed towards Xiahoude! Burst!!! ”
The blood burst out, and the heavy axe immediately split Xiahoude's entire person from his head, including his helmet and armor, and blood from his internal organs flowed all over the ground.
An axe slashed Xia Houde to death, Xu Huang didn't look at him, and at the same time moved forward, if he didn't leave at this time, the Cao Sergeant Nian from Yu Ban, Lejin, and Li Dian would be surrounded by him, and I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to leave if he wanted to. Xu Huang once again took the lead, leading the remaining cavalry to run desperately in the direction of Xiangcheng.
Cao Cao, who was in the back, stood on the high platform, but he saw this scene in its entirety, but at this time, he couldn't help but sigh: "What a Xu Gongming!" What a bunch of loyal warriors! It is a great pity that such generals cannot be used by me! After Cao Cao finished speaking, Xu Chu and Dian Wei beside him nodded unconsciously, with a look of admiration in their eyes, such an opponent is absolutely respectable! Pedal Pedaling 111111"
Cao Cao looked back, but saw that the person who came was Sima Yi. I saw Sima Lao come to Cao Cao and arch his hand: "Prime Minister, twelve of the fifteen wells have been destroyed, and the other three have been damaged to varying degrees. The well was destroyed, do we want our army to ......" Speaking of this, Sima Yi peeked at Cao Cao and did not continue.
Cao Cao snorted lightly, looked back at the head of Xiangcheng City, and sneered: "Do you think that if you destroy the true appearance of Jingqi, you will not be able to attack the city?" Then he snorted coldly, and Cao Cao muttered to himself, "Respectable opponent...... It's to be overcome! After finishing speaking, Cao Cao clenched his fists heavily, and the domineering aura on his body rose in vain!
Turning his head to Sima Yi, he said, "Zhongda, pass the order, after the fire under the city wall stops, let Wen Qian and the four of them take turns to attack the city, don't stop!" ”
Sima Yi heard this, raised his head and said: "Prime Minister, General Zhu Ling was hacked to death by the enemy general Xu Huang when he was attacking the city, and General Yu didn't have time to wait for his corpse to be recovered. ”
Cao Cao listened. He let out a light "um" and raised his eyebrows at the same time. Ning Dao = "What a Xu Gongming!" Sima Yi listened. Asked="Prime Minister, General Zhu was killed." That ......"
Before Sima Yi finished speaking, a person turned out next to him and said loudly: "Dad, let the child lead the army to attack the city!" ”
Everyone listened, and at the same time turned their heads to look, only to see that this person was tall and mighty, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and the bulging muscles on his arms could be vaguely seen. And the most conspicuous thing is the few yellow whiskers that have just grown under his chin, this person is Cao Cao's third son Cao Zhang, Cao Cao called "Yellow Whisker".
When Cao Cao saw it, he laughed and said, "My son is brave, very good!" However, the enemy general Xu Huang was not idle, Zhong Kang, Ru and Zhang'er led the troops together, and they took turns to attack Xiangcheng with Wen Qian! ”
Cao Chang was overjoyed when he heard this, and Cao Cao turned out behind him, and Xu Chu, who was like an iron tower, responded in unison: "Promise one one one one r"
After Cao Zhang and Xu Chu left, a tall young man who looked seven or eight points similar to Cao Cao walked out and said to Cao Cao: "Father, although the third brother is brave, but the battlefield is dangerous, I am only afraid of ......."
Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "Good jade still needs to be carved, Ang'er Ru began to fight with his father ten years ago, and he was as old as Zhang'er at that time.
Moreover, Zhang Xiu's son was younger than you when he went to the battlefield, and he was Zhang Xiu's only son at that time. Zhang Xiu dared to put him on the battlefield, why didn't he dare to do so! ”
This young man is naturally Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, Cao Ang heard it, nodded and smiled: "What my father said is reasonable. After speaking, he stood behind Cao Cao and watched the battle with Cao Cao on the high platform.
