Chapter Forty-Three: Reinforcements Arrive!
"Whew! Call! Call! ”
Lu Bu gasped heavily, his eyes looking at the crowd around him vigilantly.
At his feet lay hundreds of corpses of soldiers of the Xiliang Army.
Rao is Lu Bu's strength is outstanding.
But when he faced a large number of soldiers, he was also very tired.
People always have limits.
That's when it happened.
Behind Lu Bu, a soldier of the Xiliang Army suddenly rushed in.
The long hair stabbed at the back of the other's heart.
Clang!
The sound of gold and iron clashing suddenly sounded.
Lu Bu hurriedly turned around and looked back, only to find that it was Wei Yan's spear standing sideways, blocking the long hair of the Xiliang Army soldier.
The next moment the spears rushed.
The soldiers of the Xiliang Army who had just sneaked up on him fell heavily.
"Be careful, kid, the competition between us isn't over yet!"
Wei Yan said coldly.
However, I saw Lu Bu's eyes staring.
With a fierce swing of Fang Tian's painting halberd in his hand, he quickly slashed in his direction.
!
Wei Yan's complexion changed drastically.
"Poof!"
The sound of a weapon piercing into flesh was heard.
Lu Bu killed the soldiers of the Xiliang Army behind Wei Yan with one blow.
"The same goes for you."
He smiled.
Wei Yan also looked stunned.
Immediately, the two cooperated with each other to defend against the surrounding Xiliang Army soldiers.
Fight until now.
Even Cai Mao has already taken up arms to kill the enemy.
The number of defenders of Chang'an City on the city walls is decreasing day by day.
Just a few hours.
The garrison of Chang'an City, with a total of 50,000, has been sharply reduced to the current 20,000.
However, Dong Zhuo's army looked at it as if it had not decreased.
"Guys, grit your teeth and hold on."
"I believe that the emperor's reinforcements will arrive soon!"
Cai Mao shouted loudly at the top of her voice.
Hearing this, the defenders of Chang'an City, who were fighting, immediately gritted their teeth fiercely.
The movements in the hands speed up.
It's just that God doesn't fulfill people's wishes.
Stay until dawn.
There were less than 10,000 defenders left on the walls of Chang'an City.
Lu Bu and Wei Yan had multiple sword wounds on their bodies.
However, at this moment, Dong Zhuo's army was Ming Jin and retreated to 800 steps away to correct.
Seeing this, Cai Mao knew it in her heart.
The other party is taking a final break.
In less than half an hour.
Dong Zhuo's army will launch a final round of attacks.
"Strategist, let me and Wei Yan escort you out of the city!"
"Chang'an City can't stand it!"
Lu Bu came to Cai Mao.
"No, I promised the emperor that I would stick to it until he led the army!"
"I, Cai Mao, have lived a bright and upright life, and I just die, what are I afraid of?"
Cai Mao wiped the long sword in his hand.
A look of determination flashed in his eyes.
When he set off, Cai Mao personally promised to defend Chang'an City even if he died in battle.
"It's... That's it. ”
Lu Bu wanted to speak and stopped, and finally shook his head helplessly.
He made up his mind.
Later, if the city is breached.
Immediately join forces with Wei Yan to kidnap Cai Mao.
Since getting along these days, Lu Bu has long admired Cai Mao.
In his heart, he recognized the other party as his real military advisor.
Half an hour later.
Sure enough, as Cai Mao expected.
After Dong Zhuo's army rested, he immediately launched a final attack on Chang'an City.
"Soldiers, pick up the weapons in your hands with me!"
"The city is in the people, and the city is dead!"
"Kill!"
Cai Mao burst out with a loud shout.
The long sword in his hand swung forward with all his might.
A sword cuts through a climbing rope.
Lu Bu and Wei Yan were around Cai Mao, guarding against enemies from all sides.
The defenders of Chang'an City, who had tens of thousands of troops on the city wall, burst out with their last roar and fought with Dong Zhuo's army.
However, tens of thousands against 200,000.
The strength of the forces is very different.
One by one, the defenders of Chang'an City fell.
Another soldier of the Xiliang Army climbed the city wall.
Seeing that the city was about to be breached.
Cai Mao's eyes couldn't help flashing a touch of helplessness.
"I didn't think I'd die here today......"
Cai Mao muttered.
Then the long sword in his hand swung even harder.
Kill the enemies in front of you one by one.
Seeing this, Lu Bu and Wei Yan glanced at each other.
Then he had to step forward and kidnap Cai Mao.
And yet at this moment.
Behind Dong Zhuo's army, there was a sudden earth-shattering shouting of killing.
What's the situation?
Cai Mao and the others were stunned.
I saw that behind Dong Zhuo's army, I don't know when a battle formation composed of all cavalry appeared.
The warband roared into the battlefield.
Dong Zhuo's army was immediately torn apart by the rush.
"It's... Xiliang Iron Ride? ”
Cai Mao looked at this army that seemed to be a divine soldier descending from the sky, and her eyes were full of incredulity.
"Cai Mao! Lu Bu! Wei Yan! ”
"Duan Xuan was ordered by the emperor to come to support Chang'an!"
"Please hold on a little longer!"
From the cavalry battle array, there was a roar of Duan Xuan.
Cai Mao was shocked at first, and then overjoyed.
That's great!
Reinforcements are finally here!
When the defenders of Chang'an City, who had few left, heard that reinforcements were coming, they were more like they had been beaten.
For a while, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army who climbed the city wall were forced back.
And just after Duan Xuan reported his name.
Dong Zhuo also looked stiff.
Duan simmer!
The rebel general he sent someone to intercept and kill not long ago!
It's him again!
And he also took the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that he had carefully cultivated to attack his own army!
Damn it! Damn it!
Dong Zhuo hurriedly ordered the army to retreat to defense.
However, the siege of Armageddon was just now.
Because victory was in sight, the generals of the various armies did not care about forming battle formations to attack.
It was after the first round of the charge of the West Liang Iron Cavalry.
The entire Xiliang Army was in chaos in an instant.
A second charge followed.
The formation of Dong Zhuo's army was even more scattered.
Fortunately, after the second round of charge, Xiliang Tieqi kept running in the opposite direction.
The distance from Dong Zhuo's army is getting farther and farther away.
The generals of the various armies hurriedly ordered the soldiers to quickly assemble and form a defensive battle formation.
The best way to deal with a cavalry charge is to form a dense formation.
Soldiers with shields and spears were at the front, holding the army behind them.
And so on.
When the Xiliang Iron Cavalry charges again, it will be greatly hindered.
However, what Dong Zhuo never expected was.
After two more rounds of charges, Xiliang Iron Cavalry actually drove away.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but have a little doubt in his heart.
What's the situation?
Before he could react.
in sight.
A large army of infantry appeared before his eyes.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry was interspersed in the middle of the infantry army.
And when Dong Zhuo's gaze fell on the person in front, his pupils suddenly constricted.
"Liu! Macro! ”
Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth.
This guy who makes him want to drink blood and eat meat!
It's just that no matter how resentful.
Dong Zhuo also maintained his last sanity.
"Prepare the armies!"
"Battle Charge!"
Dong Zhuo shouted.
Among Liu Hong's army were Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
In order to avoid the army being scattered and divided by cavalry.
Dong Zhuo could only use this defensive battle formation to advance.
Liu Hong, who was standing at the front, looked at the other party's war like a king's eight shells, and couldn't help but sneer.
In ancient times, marching and fighting did rely on battle formations.
But I, Liu Hong, am not an ancient person!
I have modern technology!
