Chapter 587: Storming Liyang

Chen Yan called for a battle outside the city, and all the soldiers were boiling with blood and hatred for the enemy, almost shaking the entire city wall of Liyang City.

Apparently aware that if he continued to retreat, the momentum and morale of his army would be completely defeated, so he mounted his horse with his spear and led a group of cavalry, wanting to make a final resistance.

At this moment, there was a sudden rumbling bang, obviously the catapult of Chen Yan's army had begun to take action, Chen Yan's catapult was still the most powerful weapon in the whole world to attack the city in this era, at least at this time, even though the Cao army had already prepared, but in the face of this behemoth still failed to find a solution.

Xiahoudun gritted his teeth violently, and immediately shouted: "Open the city gate!" ”

The city gate slowly opened, Xiahoudun led the army out of battle, and the catapult in the distance still did not stop moving, bombarding the walls of Liyang City to tremble.

Chen Yan saw Xiahoudun lining up from a distance to attack, sneered, and shouted loudly: "Who dares to break Xiahoudun!" ”

Huang Zhong was the first to come out of the queue and said: "The last general is not talented, and he is willing to bring three thousand iron cavalry to defeat Xiahoudun!" ”

Chen Yan nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

Huang Zhong didn't talk nonsense, he slapped the war horse under his crotch suddenly, and the long knife rushed towards Xiahoudun with brilliance.

Xiahoudun saw Huang Zhong, the veteran in Chen Yan's formation, frowning from a distance, and had no choice but to lead the team forward. Huang Zhong's 3,000 iron cavalry were well-equipped, and they almost rushed into Xiahoudun's army with a devastating momentum.

Xiahoudun took the lead, and the two of them intersected, and the weapons rang out, roaring.

After only ten rounds of handing over the horse, Xiahoudun was already defeated, not that Huang Zhong's martial arts were too much stronger than him, but at this time, Xiahoudun was full of courage and knew that Chen Yan's advantage in this battle was too obvious, so he had to pull out his horse and leave.

Huang Zhong chased after him and covered up the killing, obviously wanting to let Xiahoudun die here, but Xiahoudun is also a famous general after all, although he retreated, his formation was not chaotic.

Huang Zhong followed closely behind, and the sound of the hooves of the three thousand iron horsemen rumbled, almost knocking down the entire city wall of Liyang City.

Chen Yan watched from behind, knowing that the time was ripe, he immediately shouted loudly: "The whole army is assaulted!" ”

All the soldiers and horses under his command moved together, followed Huang Zhong and followed Xiahou Dun.

Xiahoudun was shocked, and hurriedly looked at Yu Ban on the city wall and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly!" Open the gates! ”

Yu Ban looked at the cavalry behind Xiahoudun, and immediately frowned, if the door is opened, then Chen Yan's army can naturally follow Xiahoudun into the city, but if he doesn't open the city gate, then Xiahoudun is afraid that he will die in the field, and the horse leather will be shrouded.

Thinking of this, Yu Ban gritted his teeth and felt conflicted in his heart.

After all, Xiahoudun is the first general under Cao Cao, and he is Cao Cao's most trusted person, if Xiahoudun is allowed to die here, then I am afraid Cao Cao will never spare himself.

A city and an important general, Yu Ban thought about it again and again, and finally made up his mind: "Open the city gate!" ”

The city gate rumbled open, and Xiahoudun hurriedly led his troops into Liyang despite the fact that the enemy army was still following behind him. Huang Zhong followed, and rode his horse towards the door of Liyang City.

And when Huang Zhong rushed over, the boulders on the city wall were rolling down, and Yu Ban was not unprepared, and there were still certain defensive means at this time.

Huang Zhong was only concerned about chasing Xiahoudun, and suddenly felt a loud noise coming from his head, and then it was dark in front of him, and a rolling log fell from a high altitude, and it directly hit Huang Zhong's left shoulder!

Huang Zhong screamed miserably and fell off the war horse suddenly, but fortunately, although he lost his balance, he reacted and led the order, rolled three times and two rolls, and had already rolled from the side of the war horse to the city gate hole.

Seeing that his commander was injured and fell off his horse, the three thousand iron horsemen hesitated slightly.

Huang Zhong had a severe pain in his left shoulder at this time, if he expected it to be good, he was afraid that he had already dislocated, he endured the pain, gritted his teeth and said: "Hugh has to take care of me, go after Xiahoudun quickly, I will definitely kill him!" ”

Three thousand iron horses got Huang Zhong's general order, without saying a word, continued to rumble, Huang Zhong barely dragged the long knife with one right hand, slowly arrived at a corner of Liyang City, sat down, sighed, and said to himself: "It's a shame to suffer a loss here!" ”

After a while, Chen Yan and the others caught up, Chen Yan's eyes were sharp, and he saw Huang Zhong in the gatehouse at a glance, and he immediately stepped forward and asked, "General Hansheng, what's wrong with you?" ”

Huang Zhong felt ashamed in his heart, and said with a red face: "Alas! In a hurry, he was hit in the shoulder by a falling rock, and now he is afraid that he has dislocated and cannot move. ”

Chen Yan shook his head and sighed: "The general took the lead, so he was injured, and he has the right to rest here, watch me capture Liyang and behead Xiahoudun!" ”

After that, Chen Yan ordered a team of guards to come over to protect Huang Zhong, and he rode his horse to continue to kill in Liyang City.

Chen Yan, Zhang Liao, and Guan Yu are all excellent martial artists, especially Guan Yu, who has almost reached the point where no one can do it, just entered Liyang City, it is a cover-up, at this time there are not many garrisons in Liyang City, Xiahoudun knows that he is invincible, and he does not delay, so he flees towards the west gate of Liyang.

Yu Ban and Man Chong saw Xiahou fleeing in embarrassment on the city wall, and watched Chen Yan's army pouring into Liyang, they were all afraid, and Man Chong said: "General Yuan Rang has withdrawn his army, and we should not stay for a long time, it is better to push it to Puyang and think about it again." ”

Yu Ban had no choice but to follow the advice of Man Chong, and the two of them had already decided, and they didn't even bother to take the rest of the troops in the city, so they fled in a hurry.

Chen Yan's assault on Liyang this time was successful within one day, firstly because Xiahou was caught off guard, and because of Lu Lingqi's coercion, and when it was about to get dark in the evening, the entire Chen Yan army had already begun to march into Liyang.

Chen Yan was sitting in a mansion in the city at this time, at this time Huang Zhong's left arm was seriously injured and was being treated by a doctor. ”

There seemed to be a lot of pessimism in the doctor's eyes, and he said: "It seems to be a traumatic injury, but General Huang Zhong is not young, and I am afraid that he will not recover so quickly." ”

When Huang Zhong heard this, he suddenly moved his arm and said angrily: "A certain person is only fifty years, how can he be not young, when Lian Po was seventy years old, he could still move forward bravely, but you can look down on people so much!" ”

Huang Zhong's voice was like a huge thunder, and the roar made the doctor retreat again and again, so frightened that he almost fell to his knees.

Chen Yan knew that Huang Zhong was injured in battle and was in a bad mood, so he immediately smiled and said, "General Huang Zhong is still young, this little injury is nothing. ”

When Huang Zhong heard this, his expression eased slightly. nodded and said, "The last general will definitely live up to the expectations of the lord!" ”
