Chapter 317: The Fall of the Tiger and Leopard Rider
Lu Bu's halberd pierced directly through Cao Ren's body.
On the city wall, Guo Jia overlooked this scene and closed his eyes.
Lu Bu lifted Cao Ren's corpse and roared excitedly.
At the gate of the city, countless defenders and archers watched this scene and fell directly to their knees.
Finished!
It can't stop the enemy's attack at all!
Even generals like Cao Ren died tragically under the attack of the enemy!
Zhang He, Gao Lan, Ma Chao and others saw that the archers and infantry at the gate of the city gave up surrendering one after another, and did not attack directly.
They quickly drove the defenders out of the city gates, threw down their weapons, and retreated outside the gates, so that they could clear the way in.
At this moment, in the east and west directions of the city, two cavalry teams suddenly killed.
There were tens of thousands of people in each cavalry rank.
As soon as they appeared, they directly killed the rear of the Jingzhou army with lightning speed.
Guo Jia opened his eyes and watched the two cavalry wrap around the left and right towards the rear of the Jingzhou Legion.
A glimmer of hope burned in his heart.
Of these two cavalry, Cao Chun led one of the two cavalry teams of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
The other is currently led by Xiahoudun.
The two tiger and leopard cavalry commanded by Cao Chun and Xiahoudun were adapted from the elite cavalry of the Guanzhong princes who surrendered to Cao Cao in the past year.
The tiger and leopard cavalry not only has the courage and good fighting of the Xiliang cavalry, but also has the well-trained soldiers of the Central Plains, and the order is forbidden!
Moreover, it was Cao Cao's blood relatives who commanded them.
For Cao Cao's sake, they could give up their lives.
In the previous repeated battles with Ma Chao, the tiger and leopard riders have played an important role.
Even Ma Chao's Xiliang Iron Cavalry had nothing to hide under the attack of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
Now, whether this Zitong can hold back the Jingzhou Legion can only see a little hope from the iron cavalry of the tiger and leopard ride!
Zhang He, Gao Lan, Lu Bu and Ma Chao, who were killing at the gate of the city, turned back one after another.
Especially Ma Chao, when he saw Cao Chun leading the tiger and leopard to ride, his face turned pale.
He hurriedly roared at Lu Bu: "Tiger and leopard ride! This is the most elite cavalry of the Cao thief, the tiger and leopard horseman! Quickly retreat to the rescue commander! ”
Seeing that Ma Chao's face was so ugly, Lu Bu also knew that the big thing was not good, so he hurriedly beckoned the iron horsemen under his account to quickly outflank the rear.
The rear of the Jingzhou Legion.
Xu Shu looked at the cavalry on the left and right, and glanced at the three young men, Pang Tong, Lu Xun and Zhuge Liang.
Sure enough, these three young people are quite discerning and judgmental.
No wonder King Wu asked them to follow him on the expedition this time.
Seeing that the two cavalry quickly rushed in front of him, Xu Shu roared at the standard-bearer behind him: "Trap the camp and attack!" ”
The standard-bearer waved the flag vigorously and roared: "Attack in the camp!" ”
In the outermost part of the rear, the soldiers who had already prepared for the camp saw the flags waving, and rushed towards the sides in unison!
These trapped soldiers, from men to war horses, were all wrapped in heavy armor.
In their hands, too, they all had long lances.
In the midst of the heavy rain, they carried a thousand momentum, as if entering a no-man's land, and directly killed the two cavalry that came from the sandwich!
Rao is Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, and under the impact of the heavy armored cavalry of the five-hundred-trap camp on one side, he also turned on his back without the slightest resistance!
Lu Bu, Ma Chao and others, who were hurrying back to help, slowed down together.
Lu Bu, in particular, widened his eyes and looked incredulous.
The trapping camp was led by Gao Shun.
As Gao Shun's former lord, he knows the horror of being trapped in a camp.
However, now, he found that the trap camp that was reorganized into heavy cavalry was ten times more terrifying than before!
If you don't set up an ambush in advance and directly confront it head-on, you won't be trapped in the opponent of the heavy cavalry in the camp at all!
Xu Huang and Cao Chun were also stunned.
However, at this time, they also killed the rear of the trapped camp, in front of the rear of the Jingzhou Legion, and in front of countless shield soldiers.
They don't care about the strength of the camp anymore.
Xu Huang and Cao Chun commanded the cavalry to kill the shield soldiers.
When they were less than twenty paces away from the shieldmen, the banner fluttered rapidly.
The shield men and the spearmen behind them fell to the ground in unison.
On each side were hundreds of three-bow crossbows aimed at the onslaught cavalry.
Guo Jia's breathing instantly became short.
The next moment, the arm was as thick as a spear, and the blade of a feather arrow shot out like a rain of arrows!
The cavalry that rushed to the front of the shield soldiers, even the men and horses were penetrated and knocked out!
The screams came and went.
Blood stained the sky red.
Flesh and blood raining down!
Countless cavalry, like moths to a fire, have gone and never returned!
After the three-bow bed crossbowmen fired a wave of fierce fire, the Zhuge crossbowmen in their rear quickly filled their positions.
Countless "brackets" sounded.
In the small square box, ten feather arrows were shot out in an instant, directly covering the air above the cavalry on both sides, forming a layer of sharp blade nets, as under the hood!
There were tens of thousands of cavalry on each side, and all the people turned on their backs.
War horses and cavalry were pierced into hedgehogs.
No more roars.
There was no neighing of warhorses.
There was no more miserable wailing.
Only blood gushed out and converged into streams, which flowed incessantly under the torrential downpour.
The entire battlefield, at this moment, seemed to be still.
Only the thunderbolts continued to throw boulders at the walls.
Others.
Soldiers of the defenders on the city walls.
The cavalry of Zhang He, Gao Lan, Lu Bu, and Ma Chao.
In the rear of the Jingzhou Army, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong and other soldiers who have not yet been dispatched.
Their eyes shrunk sharply, looking at the dense corpses of war horses and cavalry in the rear.
Xu Shu also closed his eyes.
He has experienced several battles and seen countless lives and deaths.
In the defense of Xuzhou, in the face of Yuan Tan and Yan Liang's army, he even lived and died with the soldiers.
But it didn't make him feel frightened today.
That's right.
Rao is himself, and he also feels frightened at this moment!
Even, he felt a tremor in his soul!
This is not a battle at all.
This is a massacre.
One-sided slaughter!
The 20,000 cavalry, under the coordinated attack of the three-bow bed crossbow and the Zhuge crossbowmen, did not even rush out at the last distance of less than twenty paces, and they were all killed!
On Xu Shu's side, Zhuge Liang's mouth trembled slightly.
Jia Xu, who had always seemed to be asleep, couldn't help but let out a long sigh at the moment.
Sima Hui closed his eyes even more, and kept muttering in his mouth.
On the city wall, Guo Jia watched this scene from a distance, and directly spurted out a mouthful of blood.
He originally fantasized that he might be able to gnaw a piece of meat from the Jingzhou Legion by relying on the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and let them know that if they wanted to take the Liang Kingdom, they would have to pay the price of blood!
But now, he found out.
Now the horror of Wu has long been beyond what he has seen and heard.
On the city wall, the other soldiers came back to their senses.
Seeing Guo Jia spurting blood, he was about to fall straight down, and these soldiers rushed forward one after another.
Xu Shu also came back to his senses.
Taking a deep breath, his gaze moved away from the countless corpses on both sides and landed on the Zitong city wall.
Xu Shu roared at the standard-bearer behind him: "Thunderbolt stop attacking!" ”
The flag bearer waved the flag quickly.
The thunderbolts stopped throwing boulders.
Xu Shu roared again: "The whole army is attacking the city!" ”
The flag bearer waved the flag again.
In an instant, the entire battlefield was full of murderous sounds.
Behind the thunderbolts, the soldiers of Jingzhou rushed to the city wall like a tide carrying siege ladders.
When they came to the city walls, they put siege ladders on them.
The six vanguards, led by Xu Sheng, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong, Zhou Fang, Zhu Ran and Wei Yan, roared in unison, like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, and rushed up quickly.
The walls had already been destroyed by thunderbolts.
The soldiers defending the city have already been frightened to the point that the six gods have no master.
A few soldiers came to their senses and rushed to the edge of the wall, trying to resist the enemy and climb the wall.
However, their numbers are too small!
Soon, they were repulsed by the attacking enemy.
Xu Sheng, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong, Zhu Ran, Zhou Fang, Wei Yan and others took the lead, jumped on the city wall, waved the weapons in their hands, and rushed directly into the defenders without fear of death.
The flower of killing bloomed completely at this moment.
At the gate of the city wall, Zhang He, Gao Ran and other cavalry also drove the defenders' archers and infantry who had given up resistance to the outside of the city.
The cavalry rushed into the city like a tidal wave!
On the other side of the moat, the drums of war sounded.
The Jingzhou legion crossed the moat like a tidal wave and rushed into the city.
The battle on the walls soon ended.
Xu Sheng kicked off the flag of the defenders on the city wall and planted a flag printed with "Wu" on the city wall.
At the rear of the Jingzhou army, Xu Shu looked at the Wuzi flag that was constantly shaking in the rainstorm, and rode his horse towards the city.
Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Lu Xun, Jia Xu, Sima Hui and others followed.
