Chapter 598: Forcibly Attacking the City
Chen Yan's army was like a tide, except for his left flank Mi Fang who was defeated by Cao Ren, the other two lines were almost completely abused by Cao's army, Xiahoudun was defeated by Zhang Liao and Guan Yu repelled Yu Ban, and this battle was almost a complete victory for Chen Yan.
Chen Yan was standing behind the entire army with the military flag at this time, and he was still standing on that high ground, looking into the distance, looking at the discarded armor of Cao Jun who was killed by his own army, not to mention how happy he was.
This time Chen Yan won again, it seemed that he could really take Puyang City, Cao Jun's army had dissipated in a blink of an eye, and Chen Yan's iron hooves had already rushed towards Puyang.
In the blink of an eye, it was daylight, and the battle lasted far longer than the battle of Weishui, and the quaint walls of Puyang City gradually began to appear in Chen Yan's field of vision, and this city experienced more battles during this time than almost any city on this land.
Chen Yan looked from afar, and suddenly saw that Cao Jun's flag in front of him was not falling, and he didn't know what was going on.
Chen Yan hurriedly asked in a loud voice, "Why don't you attack the city?" ”
After a while, someone in front came over and said, "Back to Da Sima, the thief in front has blocked Cao Ren's way, and he is not allowed to pass for the time being." ”
Chen Yan frowned when he heard this, waved the battle flag in his hand, and said loudly: "Let's go, I'll go to the front and have a look." ”
With Chen Yan's pace, the army gradually advanced, Chen Yan had already passed through the dense lineup after a while, and came to the front of the team, sure enough, as far as he could see, he could see that there was a gap in the two armies, and the gap was circular, and the two generals were fighting.
These two people are from time to time and others, it is Cao Ren and Zhang Liao, the general under the command of Chen Yan.
Zhang Liao and Cao Ren looked at each other, the two long knives were frantically intersecting together, Cao Ren's Heaven Swallowing Treasure Knife was almost twice as large as Zhang Liao's long knife, so the two fought each other, which really gave people an uneven feeling.
At least in terms of weapons, Cao Ren already has the advantage.
And Zhang Liao's long knife is a fast knife, although in terms of weight, Zhang Liao's long knife is definitely not Cao Ren's opponent, but if it is about speed, I am afraid that Zhang Liao will be stronger than Cao Ren.
The two looked at each other, breathing rapidly, obviously fighting at a critical moment, Chen Yan saw it in his eyes, his heart was eager, and he hurriedly asked, "Who has the upper hand?" ”
In fact, Chen Yan was a little anxious at this time, with Chen Yan's eyesight, as long as he held his breath and observed carefully, it was not difficult to find that Zhang Liao was probably a little physically exhausted.
This is not to say that Zhang Liao's martial arts are not as good as Cao Ren, but Zhang Liao has just fought against his fierce rival Xiahou Dun, how can he recover against Cao Ren in such a quick time?
Sure enough, after a while, the two of them passed another twenty or thirty moves, and these moves happened almost instantly, Chen Yan was a little dazzled, but he did not miss the key to it.
In the last move, Cao Ren's Heaven Swallowing Treasure Knife was obviously one step faster than Zhang Liao's long knife, and it was this step that caused Zhang Liao to lose his center of gravity and almost fall off his horse.
Cao Ren could have inflicted the killer, but he didn't, apparently on the battlefield with sympathy, or for other reasons, Zhang Liao did not die.
Sure enough, Zhang Liao obviously knew this, Cao Ren didn't kill him, he knew it, and when Zhang Liao pulled out his horse and left, Zhang Liao didn't launch a full-army assault, after all, Cao Ren just let him go, and he was grateful in his heart.
Because of this, Cao Ren was able to get away, and before Chen Yan could speak, Cao Ren had already fled towards the city with the heavy armored cavalry under his command.
Chen Yan saw it in his eyes, he was very anxious, and immediately shouted loudly: "Wenyuan, don't let them all enter the city!" ”
Zhang Liao finally heard Chen Yan's words in a panic, and then realized that the battle between himself and Cao Ren just now ended under Chen Yan's attention, and he let go of Cao Ren without permission and obviously failed to get rid of Chen Yan's eyes, thinking of this, Zhang Liao couldn't help but be frightened in his heart, and immediately didn't say a word, and rushed towards Puyang City with the cavalry under his command as if they were dead.
The dust is rushing to the sky, the war drums are loud, it is already noon at this time, although it is a cold winter, but the sun at noon is still blazing on the earth, the whole earth is baked hot, and the dust is particularly dazzling under the sun.
Obviously, the final battle between Chen Yan and Cao Cao has officially begun!
At this moment, a group of soldiers suddenly poured out of Puyang City, these soldiers were armed with bows and arrows, and held boulders, obviously an ambush that had already been arranged to guard here.
One of them took the lead, Chen Yan could see clearly, this person was young and promising, it was Cao Cao's nephew Cao Anmin!
Since Chen Yan is here, he has changed history, and this Cao Cao's nephew did not die at the hands of Zhang Xiu in the battle of Wancheng, but he did not expect that in the battle of Puyang, Cao Anmin has become a very important role.
Zhang Liao rode his horse to the outside of Puyang City at this time, and suddenly saw the arrows in the city tilting down like rain, obviously a little panicked, he hurriedly reined in the war horse, stopped the impact, and shouted in his mouth: "Be careful, there is an ambush above!" ”
Sure enough, Cao Anmin's ambush was very effective, Zhang Liao was halfway through the shock, and he couldn't continue, and the soldiers in the distance saw that Zhang Liao was stagnant, and they also began to hesitate, at this moment, Cao Ren's army had gradually entered the city, if Zhang Liao didn't keep up, he was afraid that he would be completely blocked out.
At this moment, suddenly the war drums sounded, obviously the person beating the drum was changed, everyone heard the drum beating, and they all suddenly came to morale, they raised their heads to look, only to see that the original big man who beat the drum suddenly changed, and turned into a thin woman, this woman is none other than Chen Yan's original partner Lu Lingqi!
Lu Lingqi actually beat the drum herself?
Just when everyone was surprised, Lu Lingqi suddenly shouted: "Don't break Puyang City!" No one is allowed to come back to me! ”
Zhang Liao was shocked when he heard this, and was about to continue to sprint, but the gate of Puyang City suddenly began to close, Zhang Liao saw it in his eyes, and his heart was anxious, but the arrows on the city wall were like rain, and Cao Anmin was guarding the city wall like an iron wall, how could he attack it immediately.
Zhang Liao was anxious, but there was nothing he could do, he could only look at the city gate tower and sigh frequently.
At this moment, suddenly a person behind Zhang Liao said loudly: "General, it's okay, they won't let us enter through the city gate, so let's go over the city wall and go in!" ”
Zhang Liao looked back, only to see Wang Shan with a team of brothers coming, these brothers were carrying ladders on their shoulders, obviously to forcibly attack the city, Zhang Liao saw it in his eyes, nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, they closed the city gate, we will forcibly attack the city, I don't believe that this small Puyang City can block our revenge army!" ”
