An unprepared surprise attack, an internal response opened the city gate, and there was a response from more than 70,000 troops outside the city. No matter how you look at it, tonight's battle was a battle without any surprises and no danger, and it was a battle that gave away the credit for nothing. This is what Zhong Shen thought as he rushed towards the south gate with five hundred heavily armored infantry and five hundred crossbowmen.
But as a result, as soon as he turned a corner and reached a place where the firelight could not reach, dozens of shadowy shadows rushed forward, like an arrow from a string!
"Hold on! Hold on!" The soldiers around Zhong Shen shouted in unison, shouting at the top of their lungs. Although they arrived very suddenly, there were not many people on the other side, not even one-tenth of the number on their side. As long as you block the opponent's three initial moves, you won't be afraid that they will turn the world upside down.
It has to be said that there are some problems with Xiahou Dun's appointment. Both Zhong Shen brothers are men with more muscles than brains. They are so-so as a general. It is a bit dangerous to let him take charge of it alone.
Suddenly encountered an enemy attack, Zhong Shen, as the commander-in-chief, subconsciously looked for the flag of the Chinese army, but in vain. The two sides have separated, where is the flag for him to see? When he was in a daze, the entire army was unable to react correctly in the first place. They could only look at each other on the spot and shout stream-of-consciousness instructions, which was of no help to defend the enemy.
Wei Yan rushed out with the intention of fighting for his life. If he wanted to stop Xiahou Dun, more than thirty people would be killed without even using a stick of incense. When he discovered that Cao's army was divided, he wondered if he could find a soft persimmon to pinch first. If he succeeded, he might be able to disrupt the enemy's position or something.
Unexpectedly, things went much smoother than expected. The enemy general was unprepared and focused on rushing forward. His surprise attack directly hit the vital point, which made him overjoyed.
"Kill!" He used his left shield and then his sword, first using his left hand to overthrow a soldier, and then with his right hand he stabbed with a big sword, instantly piercing the body of a lightly armored crossbowman. Then he used the crossbowman's body as a sledgehammer and swung it directly at several nearby enemy soldiers. Sergeant Cao's soldiers did not want to harm the bodies of their brothers, but they could not resist such a powerful force, so they had no choice but to retreat.
Wei Yan laughed and moved forward, one step after another, throwing off the burden on the sword, slashing horizontally and vertically, directly creating a gap in the enemy's formation.
The secret agents of the Hidden Mist Army advanced and retreated together with the general, and their usually suppressed bloodiness was fully aroused, as fierce as a group of wild wolves forced up a cliff. They roared and bared their teeth, tearing apart the enemy troops who stood in their way. They chopped down the panicked enemies and chopped down the battle flags. Picking up the torches dropped by the enemy from the ground, he used the battle flags and the corpses as firewood and lit them together, sending out billowing smoke.
Discovering that the enemy general leading the army was Wei Yan, Cao Bing trembled again as he was beaten dizzy. During the day, everyone saw Wei Yan's fierce fighting at the top of the city. Although he was still unable to defeat General Dian in the end, General Dian was not around now. Who could stop such a ruthless man?
"The enemy generals should stop being so arrogant. I, Zhong Shen, am here!" Zhong Shen finally came to his senses and found that he was intimidated by dozens of enemy troops. The entire formation was disrupted. He became angry for a while and waved his hands. Hua Ji rushed forward.
"You are qualified to wield a painted halberd?" Wei Yan was originally running towards him. When he saw Zhong Shen coming to kill him, he was not surprised but overjoyed. He waved his sword to meet him and taunted loudly.
"You are looking for death!" Zhong Shen was furious. He flicked his halberd and stabbed him distractedly.
Seeing the painted halberd coming at him with great ferocity, Wei Yan was unhurried. He swung his shield with his left hand and smashed it into the group of soldiers behind Zhong Shen. He stepped on a bow step and advanced instead of retreating. He rushed towards the painted halberd.
Zhong Shen did not expect that the enemy would dare to take such a risk. He was not careful for a moment and felt that his eyes were blurred and he lost sight of the enemy. I screamed in my heart that it was not good. Just as I was about to withdraw my halberd and retreat, another cold light flashed in front of my eyes. I felt a strong wind approaching my body, and I screamed in my heart again: My life is at stake!
It¡¯s very complicated to say, but in the eyes of onlookers, in the blink of an eye, two figures passed each other, and then Zhong Shen¡¯s blood surged, he pushed the golden mountain, toppled the jade pillar, and fell directly to the ground.
"Vulnerable to a single blow! Kill, kill them all!" Wei Yan raised his sword and pointed forward, and all the troops fought bravely to kill them.
Although the number of Cao's troops was large, the general was killed by the enemy one by one, and there were only sounds of fighting from other directions. It was completely different from the expected one-sided situation, and I panicked.
Because it was a street fight, and the narrow streets were not conducive to launching a siege, more than a thousand people were beaten back by dozens of people, and they had to blow the horn for help.
Similar battles can be seen everywhere in the city. There are many veterans in the Puyang Army. When forced to the line of life and death, there are many people who are not afraid of death. If you can find a team, look for a team. If you can't find a team, you will still dare to rush towards the large group of people in twos and threes.
Wei Yan used thirty-three men to attack a thousand enemy troops, and many sidesThe veteran soldier simply rushed to Xiahou Dun's group alone, using the cover of the house and darkness to make a desperate move. This kind of attack like a moth flying into a flame was effective every time. If you want to kill a veteran, you always have to pay several times more lives in exchange for it, which makes a strong general like Xiahou Dun a little frightened.
The sacrifices of these desperadoes were not in vain. It was precisely by relying on such delays that Gao Shun arrived at the military camp before Xiahou Dun, gathered the trapped camp, and quickly launched a counterattack.
Xiahou Dun has more troops, but what he is best at is fighting in melee. In street fighting, it was difficult for spears and big guns to be used, but weapons like hooks were like a fish in water. The battle between the two armies quickly evolved into a stalemate. The battlefield began to extend to the surroundings, and almost the entire city was involved. Into the flames of war.
A new day begins with this prologue.
"Haven't you got it yet?"
"Can't you even open the other three city gates? There are only five thousand soldiers in the city, right? With General Yuan Rang's ability, how could there be such a stalemate?"
¡°The longer the time drags on, the harder it will be to finish!¡±
"That's not right. It's obviously been fought like this, why didn't the defenders break out? Are they still trying to get lucky? What else can they expect now"
The discussion stopped abruptly.
Speaking of the most sensitive topic right now, time.
In this vigorous Central Plains war, the final suspense lies in time. Whoever can take the lead in solving the opponent in front of him and then complete the strategic deployment may achieve the final victory.
The problem facing Cao Jun is that the remaining soldiers in the city will become more dangerous the longer they are delayed. If any troops from Qingzhou arrive before the battle in the city is resolved, the situation will be difficult to predict. If more than one troops arrive, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Everyone stopped talking and observed Cao Cao's expression calmly. The latter was silent, but his face was quite calm, but at this moment, an unyielding cry suddenly sounded in the city, as unstoppable as the rising sun, penetrating the thundering sound of fighting and overpowering the noisy drums and trumpets. , deafening!
¡°Attack the camp and capture the formation¡¡±
"Invincible!"
Cao Cao's face suddenly darkened, he waved his hand decisively, and shouted in a hiss: "Send my general's order to attack the city! Attack from three sides, be sure to open the city gate before Chen hour, and resolve the battle before Si hour!" (To be continued.
