Chapter 304: Guan gives you a chance
Under the promise of Huaxiong's indulgence for three days, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army became crazy in an instant.
One by one, their faces turned flushed, and their breath gradually became heavier.
It had been a long time since they had slaughtered the city, and they had not indulged in it for a long time.
Since leaving the Liangzhou border and following Dong Zhuo to Luoyang, they have never had such an opportunity.
In fact, Dong Zhuo could have indulged his soldiers to set up trouble in the subordinate area.
Dong Zhuo in history did just that.
But when he switched to this time and space, Dong Zhuo didn't act like this, on the contrary, he was still trying his best to restrain the Xiliang soldiers and prevent them from arsoning the army.
Not for anything else, just because there is a big gap between Dong Zhuo in this time period and him in history, who is in the court. :
Dong Zhuo in history was coerced by the Son of Heaven to order the world, and he was a tyrannical minister who was not welcomed.
The current Dong Zhuo, instead of supporting the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother to rule the world, was careless, and he became a loyal minister of the Han family.
To be honest, Dong Zhuo also likes the character of Zhongchen.
But being a loyal minister, sometimes it's quite aggrieved, because you have to pretend.
At least on the surface, you have to pretend to be a good person.
Not only Dong Zhuo needs to be outfitted, but his Xiliang Army also needs to be outfitted.
In the past, the Xiliang army was in Liangzhou, once they had the opportunity to slaughter the city, they robbed the coarse grain, inferior equipment, and coarse clothes and linen of the border counties......
But the Central Plains can be different.
This is the center of the economy of the Han Dynasty, with the best goods, the best silk tone, and the most grain...... The most important thing is that there is the most watery woman here!
Originally, Xiliang Bing expected Dong Zhuo to let them have a good time in Sili, but they didn't expect that Dong Zhuo would manage them very strictly.
It is completely a requirement to treat them as the regular Central Army of Luoyang.
The Xiliang sergeants were panicking.
Until today, under Hua Xiong's promise, this Xiliang army has finally revealed its true nature!
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Their indulgent shouts, the utter shouts that shook the sky, resounded throughout the sky above Yangxia City.
Today, it's finally time to open meat!
The siege of the city, the first to go first.
Especially now that the city gate of Yangxia is wide open, this first achievement seems to be even more handy for the Liangzhou sergeants!
To be able to enter the city first, it is a supreme honor for a soldier, although it is dangerous, but once it is successful, it will be fame and fortune, not only will there be great fame, but also a lot of rewards.
Today, every Liangzhou sergeant wants to get this credit!
With the issuance of Huaxiong's military order, the soldiers of Liangzhou, who had a resolute personality, crowded people, pushed people, held their weapons high and roared, and frantically killed towards the urn city.
There are some soldiers who are slow to react, and after being preempted by their colleagues, they want to chase after them, but they really can't catch up no matter how much they chase, and they really regret it.
Hua Xiong, who was the chief general, was also very meritorious, and he urged the Chinese army to follow the soldiers and horses in front to pass the drawbridge by the moat.
Then they passed through the outer gate of the urn city, and rushed quickly towards the inner gate, which was already wide open.
In Hua Xiong's opinion, this county town is smaller than the city he had conquered in the northwest in the past, which made him have the heart of light and slow enemy.
At the beginning, in the northwest, he had captured the earth city that was more difficult to fight than this, although there would be some losses when attacking the city, but as long as he could break into the city, no one could bear the thunder power of the brave men in Liangzhou under his command.
Head-to-head, who is the opponent of the Xiliang Army in the world?
It's just that this city gate is a little small, and I feel that I can't gather too many troops under the city, and it seems to be quite laborious to get in and out.
But it doesn't hurt!
In Huaxiong took the lead
Next, the elite of the Xiliang Army rushed into the urn city a lot in a short period of time, and almost all of the most elite thousands of people were rushed into Huaxiong, and the people behind were still keeping up.
If it were someone else, he would lead his troops into the city so smoothly, and he would be more or less suspicious, but Hua Xiong and the Xiliang Army under his command are all brave people, with few twists and turns, and to put it bluntly, they are all rectums.
Such a person, even if he can be indomitable and invincible, he is also prone to stumble and fall into the other's plan.
Just when Hua Xiong and his soldiers and horses had already controlled the outer gate of the urn city, he suddenly saw that the gate of the other party's inner city was slowly closing.
Hua Xiong was overjoyed when he saw this:
"Hahaha! Resisting the enemy like this, can An be undefeated? It's a pity that Liu Jian and Liu Pet have civil strife, and they have ignored the key points here, and now they think of closing the door? It's late! The sons rushed in with General Ben! Burn the summer grain!"
Hua Xiong, who was overjoyed in his heart, immediately led the Xiliang cavalry under his command to shout "whoop" and continue to move forward.
But just when more than a thousand Xiliang iron horsemen led by Hua Xiong began to sprint, they heard someone on the city wall raise their voice:
"Everyone in the world says that the people of Liangzhou are uneducated and resourceful, and when I see it today, it is true! Thou shalt die today without a place to bury!"
After saying this, I heard a trumpet sound suddenly resounding in the sky above the city wall.
"Woooooooo
Then, above the urn city, the shadows of dense soldiers suddenly flashed!
The situation has taken a turn for the worse!
Half of these soldiers had strong bows and crossbows in their hands.
This was collected from Liu Pet's arsenal!
Over the years, Liu Pet has not only recruited soldiers, but also built a lot of armor and weapons, and because he himself loves riding and shooting, he has built a lot of bows and crossbows.
Now, these bows and crossbows have been transferred to the hands of the Jizhou army and have become a divine weapon in their hands.
In the hands of the other half of the soldiers, they carried bundles of firewood and velvet, all of which were flammable materials that could be used to start fires.
At the end of the strong bow and crossbow in the hands of the Jizhou army are rockets.
Jia Xu's strategy is very vicious.
With the current situation of Yang Xia City, an ordinary ambush can't take Huaxiong at all!
Fire and water are merciless! Only fire attacks can win!
It's just that fire attacks have always been a way to hurt the heavens and harmony, and they can't do it unless they have to.
But Jia Xu didn't care about that.
Whether it hurts Tianhe or not, it has nothing to do with him, even if the other party is his former colleague, as long as he can protect himself, these are trivial things.
Before the Xiliang army under the city could react, they saw countless firewood being thrown into the urn city!
Immediately afterwards, thousands of rockets were seen, and they shot rapidly downward amid the shouts of the Jizhou soldiers at the head of the city.
Yangxia was originally a small county town, and the urn city built by Liu Pet was temporarily repaired, which occupied a small area and was quite crowded, so when all the Xiliang soldiers rushed in, the space of the entire urn city was extremely narrow.
And at the same time as the firewood and other ignition objects landed, the rocket suddenly struck, igniting the ignition object!
In an instant, the urn city at the east gate of Yangxia was covered by the raging flames, and the urn city suddenly became a place of purgatory.
Seeing the rockets coming like meteor volcanic bombs, the Xiliang soldiers were extremely panicked, and unprecedented fear surged into their hearts.
An instant later, a "poof" sound of breaking the body resounded throughout the urn city.
In this world, there is no one who is not afraid of fire and water, even if it is a war-torn Liangzhou sergeant.
In this extreme case, the crossbow bolt is already enough to cause great damage to them, and now the crossbow bolt is accompanied by rockets! A rocket that can cause fire!
The terrible screams of countless Xiliang soldiers resounded in the east of Yangxia.
After many Xiliang soldiers were on fire, they ran around, shouting for their companions to help.
As a result, it burned and scurried
, led the flames to the bodies of the other soldiers, and this scene, like a plague, covered the face with points, and spread more and more.
There is no way to do this, human beings are born with a fear of fire, and in this situation, no one can deal with it calmly.
But if the fire cannot be extinguished in the shortest time, the scope and speed of the spread of the flames are absolutely unimaginable to ordinary people.
At this moment, the Jizhou crossbow army at the head of the city prepared the rockets again, without giving the other party any respite, and the second round of rockets shot down again.
The precision with which the timing was mastered was truly breathtaking.
There is no doubt that the person in charge of directing the battle in the city is Zhang He.
Today's Zhang He, after several experiences, has grown rapidly like a sponge absorbing water, and has become the fierce general under Liu Jian who is best at defending the city and ambushing the battle.
Countless screams erupted again, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, which could take away any life from the burning flowers, endangering the lives of every Xiliang soldier in the urn city.
And what is even more terrifying is that in addition to the Liangzhou soldiers, there are many Xiliang iron horsemen in the urn city.
Compared with people, war horses are more frightened in the face of flames.
Many Xiliang war horses began to be under the command of the knights, going back and forth, trampling to death many of the Xiliang army's own soldiers!
The horrific and bloody self-trampling led to an even more chaotic scene, and it was impossible to stop it.
At this moment, the entire urn city is like a purgatory cauldron, and what is boiling in the pot is Huaxiong and the others!
But even if the battle situation was so favorable, Zhang He did not let up.
He ordered the soldiers at the head of the city to ignite the rockets, then set them on their bows, see the right time, and then shoot, trying to weaken the lives of the opponent's soldiers as much as possible.
Under the release of several rounds of rockets, the entire urn city turned into a sea of fire.
Outside the city, there was still Sima Duanqi of the Xiliang Army who commanded his soldiers to rush to the city gate, wanting to rescue Huaxiong.
It's a pity that Duan Qi was too flustered at the moment because he saw the fire in the city, but he helped more and more.
The city gate at the drawbridge of Wengcheng is narrow, and you command the soldiers and horses to rush inside, isn't it a hedge with the Huaxiong group who want to rush out inside?
What if Huaxiong and the others broke through, but they happened to be stuck at the city gate because of the hedge?
It's not to save him, it's to hurt him!
In fact, Duan Qi is a battle-hardened general, and he should think of this kind of thing.
But he fought for half his life, and let the Lord General fall into flames and annihilate, this kind of thing was the first time he had encountered such a thing, so he did not react for a while.
The huge flames were illuminating the entire urn city, and it also made the Xiliang soldiers led by Duan Qi who had not had time to rush in outside see a terrifying scene.
Countless Liangzhou soldiers were on fire, their bodies were burned to the ground, and they kept running towards the city gate before they died, screaming in horror.
The soldiers outside listened to the screams of their comrades in the urn city, and their hearts were no longer calm, and they could even be said to be very panicked.
An unprecedented sense of fear enveloped Sergeant Xiliang's heart.
Many of the soldiers have already retreated in their hearts.
No matter how brave a soldier is, he is also a human being, and under the extreme threat of death, he will still bow down, cry and fear......
"Sima! You can't rush forward anymore, hurry back! Back off! Give them a way out!"
I don't know whose shout reminded Duan Qi, he suddenly reacted, and hurriedly commanded the soldiers to retreat.
At the same time, he did not forget to ask the soldiers to cut the ropes of the drawbridge, so that the Ji at the head of the city would not take advantage of them to retreat, pull up the drawbridge, and trap Huaxiong and the others, then Huaxiong would really be finished.
But at this time, some Jizhou sergeants at the head of the city began to shoot arrows at the Xiliang soldiers at the drawbridge outside the city.
In order to meet Huaxiong in the urn city, these soldiers must be forced at the drawbridge and use shields to block the rain of arrows, although so, they still become live targets after all
, if you don't pay attention, you will be shot by a crossbow arrow.
After all, a shield can't block their whole body.
At this time, the urn city in the east was already full of fire, as if it were daylight.
The firelight was long, the meteors were flying, the Xiliang army in the city fell into a desperate situation, and the Xiliang army outside the city was in a dilemma.
And it was at this time that a burst of shouting and killing sounded on the side of the Xiliang Army outside the city!
Liu Jian, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's five thousand people quickly attacked Duan Qi's troops from the flanks.
And Zhang Fei, who was the leader, held the Zhangba snake spear, aiming at Duan Qi who was riding on a tall horse with a hideous face, with a hideous smile on his face.
The moment he saw Zhang Fei rushing towards him, Duan Qi, who had been in battle for a long time, turned white in his mind.
The other party's momentum seemed to make him feel resigned to his fate in an instant.
But after all, he was a Liangzhou general, and he quickly came back to his senses.
saw Duan Qi roaring, holding a spear, suddenly clamping the horse's belly, and rushing towards Zhang Fei.
At the same time, Hua Xiong rode a war horse in the city, clashes left and right, looking for an exit in the raging fire.
He had been hit three times in the back, blood running down his black armor and piercing his robes, the pain in his back almost fainted, but he knew that he could not fall at such a moment.
Once it falls, there will be no life in this sea of fire.
It's just that in such a chaotic situation, Hua Xiong can't even distinguish between east, west, north and south, and just keeps swinging his knife desperately to block the rain of arrows from above and prolong his life cycle.
Finally, Hua Xiong, who was already embarrassed, found the exit of the east gate.
But unfortunately, at the exit of the east gate at this time, there was still a raging fire blocking his way.
The fire is blocking the way, and you can't get through it at all!
At this moment of crisis, I heard someone behind me shouting, "Governor, back your horse, cover your horse's eyes, and then jump!"
Hua Xiong heard this and no longer hesitated.
He drove his Xiliang steed backwards for some distance, then tore open his robe, grabbed the horse's face, and then slammed it into the horse's belly.
With a loud roar, his Xiliang steed quickly towards the flames, and finally leaped into the air and leaped out of the raging flames that stood in their way.
Hua Xiong hugged the neck of the war horse vigorously, and kept urging the mount to speed up and run out of the city!
But when he rushed out of the city and crossed the drawbridge, everything in front of him made Hua Xiong's heart fall to the bottom again.
As far as the eye can see, there are the corpses of the Liangzhou soldiers who were shot everywhere.
And the head of Sima Duanqi, who he trusted the most, was being held not far away by a leopard-headed ring-eyed general holding a snake spear, and the blood ran down Duan Qi's head and slowly fell on the sand below.
Seeing Hua Xiong rushing out of the city, a team of Jizhou foot soldiers armed with ring-headed knives surrounded him one after another and surrounded him at the drawbridge!
Seeing this situation, Hua Xiong couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He is a dignified Liangzhou tiger general, and today he is going to be so humiliated and lost here?
With a group of elite soldiers, lined up in the wide road, surrounded by firelight, a long-haired general riding a tall horse and holding a green dragon glaive knife slowly beat his horse and came to Hua Xiong.
Behind him, a young strong man was closely followed, guarding him to his left and right.
It's Guan Yu and Zhou Cang.
Although Hua Xiong had never seen this person, he had heard of this person's name.
After all, this man is very recognizable in appearance and has a great reputation.
"You are the Captain of Liaodong, Guan Yu?"
Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said, "Huaxiong, most of your people have been tricked by my lord, and most of them have turned into ashes, Guan Mounian You are also a famous general in Xizhou, give you a chance, are you willing to surrender to Han?"
