Although Cao¡¯s army had many soldiers, generals, and well-equipped equipment, it was difficult for them to deploy on the narrow city wall.
Zhang Yang¡¯s direct lineage and Lu Bu¡¯s troops were all veterans of the border army, and they had a sense of arrogance in their bones. These days, I first fell into the enemy's trick, and then I was suppressed and beaten violently. I felt evil fire in my heart. When I saw the enemy appearing within reach, every one of them was fighting for their lives.
"Veterans who know they will die use knives, sticks, and even their bodies and teeth as weapons. They would rather take a fatal blow than die together with their opponents. From time to time, soldiers from both sides hugged each other and fell from the top of the city, and the sounds of screams could be heard endlessly.
Cao Cao's heart was trembling when he saw it. He never expected that the battle that seemed to be settled in an instant would turn into such a tragic situation. Following the ladder, the powerful soldiers climbed up the city wall one after another, but they were unable to keep their footing and fell like dumplings from the top of the city.
General Pingdi Lu Changnai was a general in Jingzhou. He came to Cao Cao after he captured Nanjun. It was a time when he was eager to make contributions. But he only lasted a cup of tea longer than Yan Ming before he was knocked down from the city.
" In terms of martial arts, he is also one of the few masters in Jingzhou where famous generals are born. He also has many elite soldiers around him. Normally, he shouldn't be so useless. Unexpectedly, there are two more ruthless people in the city. Perhaps even Wang Yu could not have imagined that Wei Yan and Gao Shun, two guys with very different personalities, actually hit it off, and there was a sense of seamless tacit understanding when they worked together.
"Don't say that Lu Chang's martial arts is not top-notch, even if it is, he can't stop the attack of these two masters.
He was very lucky and had rich combat experience. When he fell, he caught the edge of the ladder with his legs and slid down quickly along the smooth wooden pole, although the armor and flesh on his thighs were completely worn away. , but in the end there was no fear of life.
The other soldiers who came to the city behind these two generals did not have such good luck. As long as the rescuers holding the sackcloth failed to take care of them, they would inevitably die after being pushed off the city wall. But when they stayed on top of the city, their opponents' desperate aura made them feel chills in their guts. The timid ones tried to retreat to the siege ladder, but their way was blocked by the newly killed Pao Ze, making them unable to advance or retreat.
The most important thing in fighting is momentum. The desperate defenders succeeded in a blow and immediately shouted and surrounded the siege ladder from all directions, launching a fierce counterattack.
In order to avoid being used as targets by the opposing archers, they stayed very close to the enemy, which made the battle more brutal.
Sometimes both sides insert their weapons into the opponent's body almost at the same time, staring at each other with their last breath, until they see the enemy take his last breath first, and then they close their eyes with satisfaction. Regardless of whether they close their eyes or not, their bodies will be pushed away in the next moment, more people will come up, and more lives will disappear.
An army commander jumped onto the city wall. Before he could stand upright, a serrated knife more than five feet long swept over him. The unlucky captain was unable to dodge and was struck directly in the weak spot by the machete. The blood splashed onto Lao Gao with a "pop" sound. General Cao Jun was surprised to see himself flying up, and then he screamed and his entire upper body fell from the top of the city.
The Hanoi military general who succeeded in one blow laughed loudly, raised his serrated knife high and shouted for a fight, but was looked down upon by the archers under the city who were preparing to attack. The next moment, the murderer's body was covered with feathers and arrows, shaking, but stubbornly refused to fall. With his last breath before dying, he dug the handle of the knife into the mud brick and supported his body with the knife shaft.
"Drive them down so they don't dare to look back!" Wei Yan shouted for a fierce battle. At this point in the battle, he had multiple wounds on his body and was covered in blood. The blood is from the enemy as well as one's own; the wounds are from fresh wounds as well as from old wounds.
This mission was completely messed up No matter how painful the wound was, it couldn't compare to the aggrieved feeling in his heart. Wei Yan's heart was bleeding.
Fortunately, my lord repeatedly warned me, saying that General Lu was unruly and unconventional. Although he was extremely brave and an elite soldier, he could easily fall into traps. He had to be more careful. He didn't ask for great military exploits. He just wanted to assist with all his heart and not be cheated. The opportunities designed by people are a great achievement.
But he was still negligent in the end. He never expected that Cao Cao had planned this and actually used a stratagem to conceal the situation. He threw the main force into the Hanoi battlefield at one go and set up an ambush formation from all sides!
"It's too late to say anything now. All we can do is to fight for this worthless life. If we can survive one more day and kill one more enemy, we can repay the lord's kindness a little."
Wei Yan opened his eyes wide and looked extremely ferocious. His sword danced like a wheel, invincible to anyone who stood in his way. The defenders no longer cared about any sectarian differences, and followed behind the fierce general, slashing and killing, and in an instant they cleared an open space at the top of the city.
"Tear it down!" The leading military lord waved his sword and pointed at the ladder set up on the battlement. Several soldiers rushed forward in response, using their shoulders toHold the top of the ladder and push forward hard. But the siege ladder with a wooden base below was difficult to push down. No matter how red-faced they were, they remained motionless. Just when they were about to push harder, several cold arrows shot at them, turning them all into hedgehogs.
¡°Put the rolling logs in!¡± In the midst of the fierce battle, Gao Shun remained as calm as ice and snow, knowing that it was meaningless to compete with manpower and equipment.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of huge rolling logs were lifted up by the defenders and pushed down the siege ladder. Cao's troops who were swarming up were unable to dodge, and one by one they were swept off the siege ladder by rolling logs. Their brains were cracked and their tendons were broken.
Many of the defensive equipment are ready-made, including large rocks and rolling logs that look like rafters. Each wave will take away several lives.
While Cao Jun was in a hurry, someone threw a torch at the bottom of the siege ladder. Thick smoke immediately rose from the wooden supports, blocking the sight of the archers and blocking the way for the soldiers below the city to continue climbing up.
"Beat the drum, beat the drum!" Cao Cao, who had lost his troops and generals, was so angry that he kept ordering his soldiers to beat the drum to urge the battle.
Regardless of whether Wang Yu can break through the blockade, the Qingzhou Army's current front is already torn apart. As long as he can quickly capture Lu Bu, he can escape in time, or use various tactics to defeat several enemy troops in one go, or capture the thief first and capture the king first to deal with Wang Yu, or even use the trick to capture the court directly. Song, go straight to the hinterland of Jizhou.
The premise is that Lu Bu must be captured as soon as possible!
Now Lu Bu has become a nail that pricks his hand. After suffering such a big loss, the tiger will definitely take revenge. It is quite dangerous to put such an army behind, even if it is divided into 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers to surround it.
Now, there is only an earthen wall left in Xiao Xiuwu's city defense, and the fat meat is placed in front of him, but he just can't eat it. This feeling can be described with the word "sorrow and anger".
"Lord, wait a while before attacking." Lu Chang, who was lucky enough to save his life, limped to Cao Cao and whispered admonishment: "L¨¹ Bu is a tiger and a wolf, a trapped beast will fight even if it is trapped. If you are in a hurry, you have to wait and defend." The best strategy is to attack again after the army's momentum has passed."
"No!" Cao Cao shook his head and replied with a cold face.
"My lord, are you worried about General Boren" Lu Chang knew that his lord was ambitious. He always considered things from the pros and cons and rarely acted based on his will. He understood the other party's real thoughts very well.
"No need to say more!" Cao Cao's face added another layer of gloom, his eyebrows stood up, and he scolded with a livid face: "The most important thing now is time. If you capture Lu Bu as early as possible, you will have an extra chance of winning. If you win in There has been a long delay here, maybe" He sighed miserably: "Maybe there will be no future!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The exciting drumbeats reawakened the courage of Cao Jun's generals. Through a new round of bow and arrow shooting, they once again took the initiative on the battlefield. After simple maintenance of the siege vehicle, Cao Cao's main flag began to slowly move forward, and Cao Cao's confidant general Dian Wei led the guard battalion into the battlefield.
Dian Wei, who came from a grassroots background, was able to gain such trust from Cao Cao. It was not enough to be strong in force. In fact, in terms of commanding operations, Dian Wei and Tai Shi Ci were somewhat similar. They were both rough and fine people.
This time he learned from the experience of his colleagues and controlled the rhythm of the attack very carefully.
Whenever the soldiers climbed up a few steps, they would use the trumpet sound to notify everyone to stop, and then order the archers to shoot on both sides of the siege ladder again. After doing this for more than a dozen times, until he was sure that there was no ambush behind the wall, he suddenly gave the order, and the soldiers who had already lost most of their lives swarmed forward.
More than a hundred soldiers jumped onto the city wall one after another and quickly formed a small formation to protect the siege ladder behind them.
This is a conventional tactic for city siege. It does not seek to quickly expand the results and seize key positions such as city gates and towers. As long as the passage behind is held for half a stick of incense, the subsequent troops that follow can occupy the entire city wall. When the number of generals who have reached the top of the city is enough to organize an offensive array on the city wall, today's battle will come to an end.
The countermeasures that seemed to be effective were not as powerful as imagined, and Cao Jun's excitement only lasted a few breaths. Soon, they were surprised to hear the rustling wind above their heads.
The defenders who retreated to the horse paths and enemy towers held strong bows and fired rows of feather arrows at the attackers. There was no cover on the flat city top. The first salvo shot down most of Cao's troops who had climbed onto the city top.
Immediately afterwards, the defenders on the horse road and in the enemy towers formed a neat queue in teams of ten or five. One team erected a large door panel in front as a shield, and the other team behind was blocked by the shield bearer. Cover and rush to the siege ladder.
The expected tactics were adopted by the enemy first. The morale of the Guards Battalion plummeted and they were beaten back steadily, all thanks to the rear army's strength.After going on and on, he could barely maintain a small position at the ladder entrance.
Dian Wei's eyes were filled with anger. He handed over the command to his deputy Xu Chu and charged forward with his men.
The combat power of a top-notch general is extraordinary. The heavy double iron halberds unfolded like a tornado on the ground, immediately opening a gap in the enemy's formation.
"Follow up, keep up!" While killing fiercely, Dian Wei shouted loudly, calling on more people to follow him and fight his way through the world. When the soldiers saw that their general was like a mad tiger, they risked their lives to kill him. The defenders noticed something was wrong here, and they also attacked one after another.
This section of the city wall immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. The warriors under the city continued to fill the gaps, trying to take advantage of the victory. The warriors on the city vowed to block this only gap and would never let the enemy expand the victory.
A sword and shield wielder shouted and rushed forward, but Dian Wei used the twig of his iron halberd to catch and deflect him, and then kicked him away from the inside of the city wall. The knife hand screamed and fell, and the dull sound of flesh hitting the ground made everyone turn pale.
A team of shieldmen saw the flaw, suddenly exerted their strength, raised their shields and rushed over, shouting, trying to knock this terrifying enemy general away with the combined efforts of many people. As a result, Dian Wei used the iron halberd as the hammer wielder, ¡®Bang! ¡¯ ¡®Bang! ¡¯ There were two loud noises, and the man and his shield were knocked to the ground!
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!" Dian Wei shouted and waved his halberd. The halberd smashed his opponent's head, splattering red and white all over his body. Then he strode forward and kicked a spearman directly in the lower abdomen with his iron-wrapped combat boots. The spearman's bow immediately became a shrimp, and blood flowed out from his nostrils, mouth, and ears at the same time.
At this moment, a certain corpse that had fallen on the city wall suddenly moved, opened its hands and hugged Dian Wei's other leg, trying to trip him up, and they fell off the city wall to die together.
"Death!" He pounced with all his strength as if he had hit a big mountain. Dian Wei didn't move at all. He just dragged a person forward for four or five steps. After killing the enemies who took the opportunity to surround him, Dian Wei kicked the person with a fierce kick. Throw it away, fulfilling the dream of the warrior who was ready to die.
Killing ten people in one step, Dian Wei's power was a hundred times more ferocious than the strongman imagined by the poet. Even the defenders were determined to die and were frightened. No one dared to step forward for a while.
"Ah! Dian Wei is here, who dares to fight!" Dian Wei looked up to the sky and roared. The roar was like rolling thunder, and his image was like the legendary war god Xing Tian who fought against the sky. The city suddenly burst into thunderous cheers.
"Don't be so arrogant, I'll kill you!" It's easy to attract hatred by showing off one's strength on the battlefield. With a flash of sword like a sword, it was Wei Yan who responded to the call and killed him.
"Well done!" Dian Wei was not surprised but overjoyed, and waved his halberd to greet him.
"Dang!" The swords and halberds clashed with a loud bang. The two soldiers who were fighting against each other around them felt a buzzing sound in their ears. Their eyes turned black, their feet became weak, and they almost fell down. on the ground.
Both of them have become monks in the martial arts, relying on their extraordinary talents to rank among the world's famous generals. When they fight against each other, it is a head-to-head confrontation without any sixties.
There was a roar here, and he used a move to split Huashan, and the five-foot blade fell on his head. Before the blade came, the strong wind it brought had already enveloped the whole body, making people feel that they could not avoid it. The other side didn't show any signs of weakness, exhaling and speaking loudly, with two iron halberds on the left and right, heading straight towards him, the sound of the collision of gold and iron was deafening.
After touching it a few times, it was a clear score.
The body that was parrying was like a mountain, not moving at all, but the one who was slashing was Teng Teng Teng who took three steps back. After all, Wei Yan was young and his strength and martial arts were inferior. In addition, he had been fighting hard for a long time. It was naturally difficult for him to face a new force like Dian Wei.
"My sword skills are still good, but my strength is still a little bit behind. Take a blow from me!" Dian Wei had the upper hand and was not merciful. He strode forward to pursue him. His iron halberd was like the wind, and he hit his head and face with a heavy blow.
Wei Yan was beaten and retreated steadily. He could only parry but had no power to fight back. Seeing that the situation was not good, the guards on the left and right hurriedly stepped forward to rescue them. As a result, some of them were blocked by Cao's soldiers. Others only heard the enemy general let out a long laugh, and the whirlwind turned into an iron halberd spread outwards, directly sweeping them up. Got in.
This kind of hand-to-hand combat on a narrow terrain is originally the best stage for personal bravery, and Dian Wei's style of winning by strength is even more at home.
Wei Yan couldn't stop Dian Wei, but he was in danger. He had been fighting side by side with him, but Gao Shun, who had focused most of his attention on commanding the battle, did not expect that his partner would be defeated so quickly, and he no longer cared about commanding. Dun Yi Horizontally, he will kill him with the sword.
Gao Shun's martial arts is purely technical, with tricky attack angles and agile body movements. The sword in his right hand is pointed forward diagonally, seeming to chop but not to chop, and like to stab but not to stab, giving people a feeling of being unstoppable.
But if you really work hard,If you want to fight, it would be a big mistake. This mysterious sword is actually a feint! Just as the sword was swung out, Gao Shun's steps suddenly changed, his feet staggered each other, his body swayed, and the hooked shield in his left hand was swung up from the bottom up.
The structure of the hook-mounted shield is that there is a sharp hook on the shield surface and a sharp angle on the lower end of the shield surface, which can be used to attack, and there are many variations. Gao Shun's new move is to use a sharp hook to injure the enemy's vital points. It is sinister and ruthless. At first glance, it seems to be the kind of battlefield fighting method that does not pay attention to appearance but only focuses on practical results. If Dian Wei's attention is attracted by the sword move, even if he can save his life, he may not be able to become a man in the future.
Dian Wei really did not expect the subsequent changes. He had no intention of fighting with his opponents. That is not what he is good at. His style is to overwhelm others with force and defeat ten enemies with one force!
He didn¡¯t even look at Gao Shun¡¯s hooked shield, waved his halberd, and swept past Gao Shun, looking as if he was going to die together with his opponent. But only Gao Shun, who was in the midst of it, knew how ferocious this halberd was. They didn't die together, but they came first!
Most of the masters of the skill stream are good at deduction and judgment. Gao Shun knew that his moves would change a little too much and his speed would definitely not be able to keep up. But he was originally a commanding general, and he had no intention of achieving high levels of personal martial arts. It was enough to be able to protect himself.
He instantly judged that he was not even qualified to fight to the death. He did not care about hurting the enemy, so he put up his weapon in front of him in his busy schedule. Then, he saw his hundred-smelting steel sword bent into a fishhook, and his body suddenly became lighter. He was actually knocked away by Dian Wei's halberd, including the sword!
"Xunyi!" Wei Yan's eyes were split with rage, and he roared angrily, trying to rush to the rescue, but he couldn't rush forward like a mountain halberd shadow.
Seeing that Gao Shun was about to fly out of the edge of the city wall and fall under the city, a black shadow came like lightning, and the ape's arms lightly stretched, and directly pulled Gao Shun back from the air!
"What a thief! If you dare to hurt my brother, watch for a beating!" Putting down Gao Shun in one hand, Fang Tian's painted halberd in the other hand was already rising like a dragon. Amidst the violent shouts, he suddenly came to kill!
Amidst the lightning and flint, a name flashed in Dian Wei's mind. There was only one person in the city who could use such powerful moves!
Over the years, he has followed Cao Cao and competed with countless masters. Most of them ended in his victory. Occasionally, he also met a few comparable opponents, such as Qingzhou General Taishi Ci
However, no opponent has ever put such great pressure on him in a single meeting. The fangtian painted halberd seemed to be just a regular thrust, but when the halberd struck, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and the body became heavy. Only the name of the pole was left between heaven and earth. The world-shaking murder weapon!
With Dian Wei's strength, it is certainly impossible for him to be timid before fighting. He just felt the power.
Faced with powerful killing moves, he was not afraid. The double iron halberds were raised horizontally and vertically in front of him. His waist and legs suddenly exerted force, and his body instantly changed from upright to leaning forward. It felt as if the man and the halberd were about to be collided with each other.
Dian Wei, who came from a grassroots background, was best at fighting on foot. When he fought Taishi Ci in Hebei, he was tied and even slightly at a disadvantage, mainly because of his poor riding skills. If he had been fighting on foot, the result might have been the opposite. coming.
This move hides attack in defense, which can bring out his strange power to the extreme. If he uses it when fighting Wei Yan, then the latter may not have to retreat three steps.
However, this time he met not Taishi Ci, but Lu Bu, the invincible Lu Fengxian!
At the moment when the three halberds clashed, the momentum of Fang Tian's painted halberd suddenly changed unexpectedly. One side, one turn, one counter-knock, all changes were completed instantly. Just in time to avoid the strongest point of Dianwei's collision, he pushed him from the side.
For the first time in his life, Dian Wei felt like he couldn't hold his weapon. The iron halberd he was so handy with suddenly lost control and just wanted to fly away!
What¡¯s even more frightening is that the balance of the body is also a little messed up. Because Lu Bu's second attack was carried out on the spot, he used the branches of the painted halberd to hang him backwards, and before Dian Wei's sideways tilt had stopped, he pulled him forward again. When Dian Wei tried hard to pull back, Lu Bu made another move to push the boat forward
"If Zheng hadn't experienced it himself, Dian Wei would not have been able to imagine what kind of martial arts is capable of such frequent changes in strength in a face-to-face fight. All he knew was that he had met a master he had never seen before.
His strength is not inferior to him, his control of power is even better than his, and his skills are also incredibly high!
An unprecedented feeling of powerlessness surged into my heart. No matter how Dian Wei roared or fought back, he was like a small boat in the stormy waves, he could only rise and fall with the waves, unable to control himself.
In the blink of an eye, it¡¯s a battle of more than a dozen moves.??, the soldiers at the top of the city were dumbfounded and even forgot about the opponent in front of them. The soldiers under the city also had earth-colored faces, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the invincible General Dian, who had been fighting in all directions just now, had been beaten back steadily.
Although it was still unclear how long he could hold on, he kept retreating and retreating, and he was reaching the edge of the city wall before his eyes!
"Don't look around stupidly, hurry up, send someone quickly, prepare to pick up General Ying Dian!" That is to say, Cao Cao still maintained enough sense and shouted to direct the rescue team under the city to pick up.
He knew that Lu Bu was very strong, but he didn't expect that he was so strong that he couldn't even suppress Dian Wei, the most powerful general in the army. No, let alone suppressing him, he was simply unable to resist.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that Lu Bu's timing of the attack was good enough, just at the juncture when Dian Wei had lost two generals in a row, his old strength was exhausted, and his new strength was not yet developed. However, there is only victory and defeat on the battlefield, and there is no such thing as fairness or unfairness.
Therefore, when Cao Cao saw the familiar majestic figure falling from the top of the city, he was not sad, but instead felt a little relieved that at least he had saved his life.
He raised his head, and the sunlight above his head became brighter and brighter, so warm that people could not help but close their eyes. His body was getting warmer and warmer, but his heart was getting colder and colder. Cao Cao closed his eyes and ordered in a voice so low that he couldn't hear it:
"Retreat!" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
