Chapter 687: The Great War Is Imminent!
Moreover, Cao's army also approached Xiangyang City, and the next step was to attack the city gate.
"Quick! Resist me! Don't let the enemy invade! Liu Biao shouted.
"Yes!" The defenders of Xiangyang also knew that the situation at this time was very critical, and they fought bravely to kill the enemy one by one.
But fortunately, the city of Xiangyang City was strong enough, and the pace of Cao's army attack was once again blocked.
At this time, Liu Biao had already retreated to the city tower, he looked at Cao Ang outside the city with a gloomy face, and said, "Cao Ang'er! Hello ruthless means! ”
Seeing that the enemy had fallen into a decline, the corners of Cao Ang's mouth raised slightly, and he showed a hint of a smile and said, "Liu Biao! I advise you to surrender obediently, or you will not blame my men for being ruthless. ”
"Phew! I'd rather die than give in! Liu Biao scolded angrily.
Cao Ang looked at Liu Biao contemptuously and said lightly: "I hope you can still have backbone later." ”
"Come on, give me arrows!"
Then Cao Ang's order was conveyed, and the soldiers outside the city set up their bows and crossbows, aimed at the Jingzhou army on the city wall, and began to shoot.
"Bang!"
The crossbow was fired at the city wall with a loud sound.
Although the threat of arrows was great, the defenders of Xiangyang still gritted their teeth and fought hard, because there were still too many people in the city, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and they had to protect these people.
After Cao Ang's archers fired a wave, they stopped, replaced themselves with swords and axes, and prepared to attack.
And Cao Ang, who was outside the city, saw that the Jingzhou army was stubbornly resisting, so he ordered: "Give me the drum to cheer, I want to see how long you Liu Biao can last." ”
Soon, the drums shook the four fields again.
"Boom."
Accompanied by the sound of drums, a shocking noise was heard outside the city, and then Cao Jun pushed out the catapults.
"Throw!"
After Cao Ang's order was given, the soldiers on the catapult began to throw stones.
"Woohoo."
Huge stones smashed into Xiangyang City with a whistling sound.
"Bang!"
The huge force smashed on the city wall, instantly stirring up countless smoke and dust.
In the city, Liu Biao's face turned pale when he saw this, but he didn't expect Cao Ang to actually put out a catapult.
The pressure on the city wall suddenly increased greatly, and they raised their shields one after another to resist the catapult attack.
Cao Ang rode his horse to stand in front of the army, looking at the scene in front of him with a sneer on his face, and at the same time ordered his soldiers to continue to speed up the siege.
Seeing this, Xiahoudun on the side reminded: "Lord, if the situation is allowed to develop, I am afraid it will affect the speed of our army's siege. ”
Cao Ang nodded when he heard this, and then ordered: "Order the archers, shoot the Xiangyang defenders with all your might!" ”
"Yes!" Xiahoudun was ordered to leave.
The faces of the defenders of Xiangyang turned even paler when they saw this, and they felt that they were getting closer and closer to death.
"Bang bang."
Countless stones flew in and smashed on Xiangyang City, causing countless smoke and dust.
"Ahh
In the defenders of Xiangyang, a soldier was hit in the chest by a stone and fell to the ground.
"Hurry up and save people!" The rest of the soldiers shouted when they saw it.
Seeing this, Cao Ang was overjoyed and shouted: "After breaking through the city gate, reward ten thousand taels of gold!" ”
"Kill!"
"Rush!"
Cao Jun was excited, frantically attacking the city, and soon soldiers climbed to the top of the city.
As soon as these soldiers ascended the city wall, they immediately slashed and killed the defenders of Xiangyang.
"Kill!"
Seeing this, Liu Biao was extremely angry and ordered the guards to counterattack, and the city wall undoubtedly became a Shura field, and the blood flowed like a river.
Seeing this, Cao Ang immediately said to Xiahou Yuan: "You step forward to fight!" ”
Xiahou Yuan agreed, and immediately rode his horse to the front of the battle and shouted: "Who dares to fight with a certain battle? ”
Liu Biao on the city wall frowned when he saw this, if they didn't send a master to contain the enemy, I am afraid that Xiahou Yuan would have an advantage.
After thinking about it, Liu Biao finally decided to send someone forward, and he shouted: "Where is Zhang Xiu? ”
"The subordinates are here!" Zhang Xiu walked out.
Liu Biao pointed at Xiahou Yuan and ordered: "You go and meet this guy in person, if you can kill him, I will be rewarded." ”
"Yes! Don't worry! Zhang Xiu hugged his fists.
"Hmmm! Go ahead! Liu Biao waved his hand.
When Zhang Xiu heard this, he immediately rode out of the city gate, and then galloped towards Xiahou Yuan.
"Xiahou Yuan, take your life!" Zhang Xiu yelled.
Seeing this, Xiahou Yuan said disdainfully: "Hmph, how dare a mere child be so rampant, I will send you back to the west today!" ”
"Kill!"
Zhang Xiu raised his sword and rushed over.
The two fierce generals clashed in the blink of an eye, and both of them fought each other with spears, and their marksmanship was fierce, and their moves were fatal.
"Bell!"
Zhang Xiu held a spear, constantly blocked Xiahou Yuan's attacks, and looked for opportunities to counterattack, and for a while they were evenly matched, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from defeat.
The struggle between the two is becoming more and more dangerous, and every move contains endless killing intent, and the slightest carelessness will cost you your life.
Zhang Xiu's heart became more and more solemn, he had never experienced such a battle.
"Drink!" Zhang Xiu burst into a shout and seized the opportunity to stab Xiahou Yuan.
Xiahou Yuan also seized the opportunity to stab Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu was shocked, and hurriedly withdrew his spear to defend, and at the same time, with the help of the power of Xiahou Yuan's stab, he retreated backwards and widened the distance between the two.
Zhang Xiu gasped, the move just now consumed most of his physical strength.
On the other side, Xiahou Yuan looked a little embarrassed, after all, he had just relied on his arrogant strength to gain the upper hand, and now he suddenly pulled away, resulting in huge physical exertion.
"Hahaha, Xiahou Yuanpifu, what's wrong with you? Why don't you catch up? Zhang Xiu sneered.
When Xiahou Yuan heard this, his face was gloomy, he didn't speak, and rushed over again, he didn't believe that he would lose to the other party.
"Ding!"
Zhang Xiu hurriedly drew his sword to resist.
But Xiahou Yuan's strength exceeded his expectations, knocking his sword off at once, and then stabbing him into the shoulder fiercely.
"Poof!"
Blood gushed out, Zhang Xiu endured the severe pain, drew his long sword and quickly retreated.
Zhang Xiu covered his shoulders and stared at Xiahou Yuan with cold eyes, he knew that he was not Xiahou Yuan's opponent.
Not only him, but the rest of Xiangyang City also thought the same way.
"Humph! You can't escape. Xiahou Yuan laughed cruelly, and rode a war horse directly towards Zhang Xiu.
The speed of the war horse under Xiahou Yuan's crotch was very fast, and Zhang Xiu couldn't run away at all.
"Damn!"
Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth when he saw this, although he wanted to cut Xiahou Yuan with a thousand knives, but now there was nothing he could do.
"Bang!"
Xiahou Yuan slashed at Zhang Xiu's armor with a fierce shot.
"Click!"
Zhang Xiu's armor shattered, and his whole body fell out, spitting blood.
"General!" When the defenders of Xiangyang saw it, they shouted anxiously, but there was nothing they could do.
Zhang Xiuqiang supported his body, wanting to stand up and continue to fight.
But as soon as he moved, there was a heart-piercing pain from the wound, which made him snort, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, he knew that his injury was too serious, and he would definitely not be able to move for a short time. (End of chapter)
