Chapter 2088 Support!
The war inside and outside Wancheng has become increasingly cruel since Xiahou Yuan led his troops to join the battle. Although Xiahou Yuan is not very good, his years of combat experience suppressed Pang Shanmin.
Although Pang Shanmin used paint to resist Xiahou Yuan's surprise attack and then repelled the subsequent attacks several times, the quantity was limited, and it would not have much killing effect if it was used less. However, if it was used too much, the consumption would be large, and the flame would not burn too long, at most one stick of incense would take half an hour. Then, after a while, Xiahou Yuan sent a team of troops to attack. So should he burn or not?
In order to rush to the road, Xiahou Yuan's cavalry was light armored, but after the subsequent troops gradually caught up, they naturally brought supplies and armor, and then some Cao's soldiers were replaced with heavy armor.
The heavy armor hits the city gate like an active iron tower. Although some of the double-layer armor is slow, it is covered by a large shield, and the second is covered by an armor. It is basically immune to arrows. What they fear is nothing more than blunt attacks like a wooden rolling stone. They can directly illuminate and kill without breaking the armor. On the other hand, they are afraid of water and fire, and ignore the physical defense of the armor and shield and launch magic attacks directly...
But the problem is that whether it is a rolling stone or a boiling water of tincture, it is a consumable, not an unlimited amount. Even if it is boiling water, gold juice, etc., it needs to be cooked, which requires fuel and time. It is not something you want to have when you want it.
If you ignore it, these heavily armored soldiers will slowly attack the entrance of the city gate and then use a big axe to directly chop the city gate. Although the efficiency is not as good as the rushing car, the city gate is still generally wood, wrapped in iron bars, and will eventually be destroyed after being chopped.
At the same time, Xiahou Yuan also launched a traditional siege on the other side, blocking the moat and then setting up a ladder. With the large number of refugees around him, he grabbed a lot of people and piled them up in Wancheng as if he was not rich...
Pang Shanmin and Zhang Lie were on the front line almost from the beginning. Xiahou Yuan outside the city could still get off the horse and rest, drink water, eat and sleep, but Pang Shanmin and Zhang Lie hardly met each other, let alone have a good rest.
As a military general, Zhang Lie worked even harder. He didn't know how many weapons he had replaced, and he couldn't count the light and heavy ones he had suffered. Although he had armor protection, it was impossible to cover them all up. In addition, the previous serious injuries were not completely correct. Anyway, every move was either a skin pain or an inner pain, but he still stood in front, boosting morale, leading the soldiers, fighting again and again.
From mid-sun to sunset, from dusk to late night, Xiahou Yuan ordered a temporary quit, and acted as if he wanted to fight again the next day, but he launched a sneak attack at dawn!
The defense is of course good location, but the attacking party can choose the time. Xiahou Yuan's sneak attack before dawn obviously made a frustrated attack, which caught the Wancheng defender off guard. Although Zhang Lie also told the soldiers of the Wancheng defender to be careful and not to relax, the problem is that not everyone understands this principle, or even if they understand, there are many people who still don't do it. Just like in later generations, everyone knows the principle of not drinking or not drinking, but every year they drive drunk...
When Xiahou Yuan's soldiers secretly set up a ladder and touched the top of the city, the soldiers in Wancheng suddenly noticed it, and then counterattacked and suppressed under Zhang Lie's leadership, but it was obviously a bit late.
A Cao army soldier roared and waved his battle axe and smashed it, slashing the shield queue of Wancheng defenders and opening a gap. The subsequent Cao army continued to expand along the gap.
Seeing that the Wancheng defenders array was about to collapse, Zhang Lie roared, held a knife and raised his shield, and then he rushed up! The sword flashed, and the sword in Zhang Lie's hand slashed the neck of the Cao army soldiers who were rushing forward, and suddenly cut a huge bloody mouth at the throat of Cao army. The blood mixed with bubbles sprayed outwards. The Cao army soldiers could not even make the last scream, and they covered their necks and fell into the crowd.
『Kill up!』 Zhang Lie shouted, 『Battle Cao's troops down!』
When the soldiers in Wancheng behind saw Zhang Lie coming, they all gathered up the courage to put forward again, blocking the soldiers of Cao's army, with spears and short blades intertwined. From time to time, screams were screaming accompanied by blood, and then a few fingers flew out, half of the broken arms, or a head.
The key to victory or defeat in a war is sometimes wonderful.
Perhaps it was the strength of the soldiers on both sides, perhaps the difference in terrain, or the wheel of a chariot that was trapped in the quagmire, or perhaps a flowing arrow flying through the air...
After a series of battles, Zhang Lie and his men suppressed Cao's army's climbing queue and were trying to squeeze the space on the city wall forward, trying to push Cao's army back to the city.
As a result, at this moment, the situation changed as a sudden accident.
A Cao army was defeated and wanted to win. He took the lead with his desperate move, rushed straight to Zhang Lie, waved his sword and slashed at Zhang Lie's head and shoulders!
Zhang Lie took a step forward and was about to turn around to avoid it, but halfway through his movements, his face changed!
Zhang Lie had suffered serious injuries between his waist and abdomen before. Although his appearance has grown, he has destroyed his original muscles after all. He usually doesn't think there is anything wrong. However, under the high-strength overload operation, there is a problem. Zhang Lie clearly wanted to twist his waist and dodge, but in the middle of the journey, there was a silence of pain in his waist and abdomen, and his movements were unbalanced. He was chopped and smashed into the pocket by a "smash" by the Cao army soldier. His head buzzed, staggered a few steps, and fell backwards!
After all, reality is different from games. Even if you suffer a great injury in the game, there are holes in your arms, thighs, and even your stomach. You can continue to fight with unabated destructive power until the last moment when the blood bar disappears.
Normally, is the combat power thing? Even if it is not injured, it will continue to decrease over time and physical exhaustion. It is absolutely impossible for a warship to have only the barrel lid left, but it still has 100% firepower output, and there may even be additional efficiency, such as the root of the bottom force and other...
The soldiers of the Cao army did not expect, the guards of Wancheng did not expect, Zhang Lie did not expect, Xiahou Yuan did not expect that, in the situation where Zhang Lie should have the advantage, suddenly, when facing a Cao army soldier, Zhang Lie was injured again and fell down!
The guards Zhang Lie on the side hurried forward and stopped Cao's soldiers. While pressing forward with their shield, they shouted anxiously: "Captain! Protect Zhang!"
Several gods with mixed hands came over and dragged Zhang Lie to the back line. Zhang Lie was tilted, and his head seemed to have entered a decoration company, and it was drilling, knocking, and dinging, and dinging!
In a daze, Zhang Lie shook his head, and then saw more and more Cao's soldiers gathered at the city and began to climb upwards. At the gate of the city gate, Pang Shanmin was in disheveled clothes, holding a sword and supervising the battle, as if he was shouting something...
Blood was dripping down, covering Zhang Lie's eyes. Zhang Lie struggled to stand up, but he stood up a little while dizzy, and then he couldn't find his center of gravity. He threw himself on the ground and almost overturned the city wall!
Zhang Lie's guard had no choice but to drag Zhang Lie to the city first...
There is no doubt that Zhang Lie was suddenly knocked down, which had a great impact on the morale of the Wancheng defenders, so that even though Pang Shanmin tried hard to command and dispatch, he was still somewhat inferior to Cao's left and right attacks. Then he transferred the reserve team to repel Cao's army on the top of the city. However, because he did not know how to reasonably allocate the soldiers' physical strength and arrange rounds of renovation, Xiahou Yuan finally seized the opportunity. When the sun rose in the early morning, a gap was broken into the already scarred city gate!
Cao's army cheered and rushed towards Wancheng city gate!
Xiahou Yuan shouted a few times to the sky, not knowing whether it was because of excitement or catharsis. He was proud and was about to get on the horse when suddenly a scout from the outside came to report that he had detected the movements of the cavalry and was coming towards Wancheng!
Reinforcements from the cavalry?
"How many came? How far is it?" Xiahou Yuan asked.
"The cavalry is about five hundred!" Cao's scout replied, "He is coming at full speed, and I'm afraid he will arrive at the city in three or four hours!"
"Five Hundred Cavalry?" Xiahou Yuan frowned, then turned to look at Wancheng, which had already broken the mouth, "Who is the general?"
『Huang Family…』
"Huang Family?" Xiahou Yuan was stunned for a moment, and some light seemed to flash in his eyes, "Huang Family defeated Cao Zilian?"
The commander of the Cavalry reinforcements was naturally the enemy of Xiahou Yuan's previous life, and his opponent, Huang Zhong. The smoke and dust that drove away could not be hidden. Even at dawn, the sky was not yet bright, and it could still be seen far under the clear sky. In addition, there were mostly flat places around Wancheng, which was difficult to hide, so it was impossible to avoid Cao's scouts at all, so Huang Zhong simply had no intention of hiding.
At the same time, in order to maintain combat effectiveness, Huang Zhong changed his war horses when he was approaching the territory of Wancheng, leaving a small number of soldiers to walk slowly behind, and left all the supplies behind. Then each cavalry only brought basic dry food, weapons and armor to Wancheng as fast as possible to meet Pang Shanmin, Zhang Lie and others who were fighting hard in Wancheng!
Huang Zhong took the lead, insisting on a long-handled big sword. The red tassels spread out when the big sword swallowed, tilted slightly, with a serious expression, and the corners of his mouth were pursed tightly, wishing he could immediately have wings and fly directly to Wancheng. Behind Huang Zhong, the Hussars and Cavalrymen also tightened their faces. Everyone was as thoughtful as Huang Zhong, silent, just struggling forward!
Every Hussar soldier, above the first piece of armor they received, among the words they knew, must have known two words first, "Fei" and "Huang".
There are on the sword, on the armor, and even on the arrows...
The Great Han Dynasty's Cavalry Feijian, Huang's workshop system, with many numbers.
If the Fei family of the Cavalry is the main one, then the Huang family is the mother. Now, in Wancheng, the Huang family is facing threats. The life and death of the mistress family is in danger. How can there be a reason to be lazy and slow?
Wancheng is in trouble!
Directly, urgent assistance!
At this moment, in Wancheng, Zhang Lie was injured and the city gate was damaged, resulting in the morale of the defenders' defense. If Pang Shanmin had martial arts, or knew how to inspire the mourning soldiers to fight on their backs at key nodes, he might have been able to hold on for a while. Unfortunately, Pang Shanmin himself was exhausted and had never commanded such a fierce battle before. He did not boost morale at the first time when he was frustrated, which led to the discovery that something was wrong in the later stage, and it was too late. In the end, he had to give up the outer wall and retreat to the inner city government office in the city for the final resistance.
The inner palace of Wancheng was originally the Nanyang capital, and the important county and county area. After renovation, it was like an inner city and had certain defense capabilities.
The people who followed Pang Shanmin retreated to the inner city government office were basically the Huang family or Pang family's private soldiers. Most of their families retreated to the city to hide when the war came, and now they are basically in the government office. It is precisely because of this that these Pang family's private soldiers and the Cao army rushing into the city started a final chaos!
Most of the other Wancheng soldiers fled at the last moment. These people fought for a day and a night, but fled in the last few hours. Should they be considered warriors or cowards?
In war, at the end of the war, people are often left with only human lives being replaced.
The Cao army soldiers with high morale formed a team of three or five, with swords, shields and hands on both sides to cover them. The ones located in the middle are often spearmen, plus one or two halberds, either raiders raiding against the heavy gates of the mansion or building ladders to climb the walls of the mansion...
Faced with the increasingly vicious Cao army soldiers, the private soldiers of Huang and Pang were also stimulated their last strength, one after another, and fought to the death to stop the Cao army's attack. The fierce fighting between the two sides was ten times more fierce than before. At this moment, the flesh and blood were thrown out in the most despicable way. The Cao army occasionally climbed over the wall of the government office, but soon, even if both were injured, they were injured. Even if they were in swords and guns, they would still wrap around the legs of the Cao army soldiers. They rolled down the wall together with their waists and legs!
In the corner building of the government office, Huang Hansheng's son squinted his eyes and tried his best to shoot one arrow after another out of the shooting hole of the corner building!
Because he was seriously ill when he was young, although he was treated and eventually recovered his life, his body was weaker and he could not fight like Huang Zhong. He only learned a few points of archery skills. At this moment, he tried his best to show it, gritted his teeth and shot arrows, helping his private soldiers on the wall to control the situation. In order to ensure the fastest speed of the bow, someone kept handing over the feather arrows, so that he could shoot from the left and right of the uver. Ten arrows could shoot seven or eight arrows into the Cao army soldiers, and even hit weak positions such as Cao army's face!
But near the government office, Xiahou Yuan was not seen...
Horses' hooves fly.
The surrounding scenery flashed one after another.
Huang Zhong's face looked like water. From the words of refugees who had escaped earlier, the news of Cao's attack on Wancheng was no longer a secret. At present, only Wancheng can hold on for how long.
Keep it up!
Hold on for a moment!
The three-colored flags fluttered high. Even when moving at high speed, the overall cavalry queue still did not deform at all. Even the war horses under the cavalry seemed to be running back and forth in the same pace, rumbling against the ground, emitting a sharp smell of iron blood. The trees and grass and shrubs around the road were busy dodging left and right, and each cavalry had only Wancheng in his eyes!
At this moment, in Wancheng, except for the Huang Pang private soldiers who resisted in the Wancheng government office, most of the other areas lost their will to resist. Although merchants from south to north also had guards in the market, few people dared to show up before such a bloody battle formation. They either locked the door and guarded the courtyard gate, or took advantage of the Cao army's spread to the whole city and fled out to escape!
Some merchants even came to express their love for Cao Jun, saying that they were good people and shook their heads and tails to welcome Cao Jun's arrival...
What about merchants? It is almost instinct to seek profit and avoid harm in the shopping mall. When facing the current chaos, it is not surprising that they will do all kinds of behaviors, and it is normal to basically be negative. On the contrary, if the country is turmoil, it is just to place hope on the conscience of merchants, and hope that all merchants can stand up bravely to fight, and those who are brave enough to sacrifice for the sake of the country and the nation are delusions.
Especially before, I was rushing to get close to Huang's Pang, and flatteringly said that I was loyal to the cavalry and went to Xijing, and now I am the fastest to turn my face.
As for ordinary people, they were also in chaos. Some were reluctant to leave their homes and kept their luck tremblingly and curled up at home. Many of them rushed out with the flow, hoping to turn into rats and rabbits, find a hole and crawl out of Wancheng, and escape as far as they can!
Except for the city gate where Cao Jun rushed in, the other three or four city gates were crowded with cows and mules, and fleeing crowds. Everyone wanted to run out eagerly. The unlucky guy accidentally fell to the ground and was stepped into meat paste without even screaming! He couldn't squeeze out the city gate, and even climbed up the city wall to find a place, closed his eyes and jumped down!
Crying, cursing, asking for help, screams, mixed together, making the whole city look like boiling porridge, with bloody foam gushing out...
Just when the whole city collapsed, facing the sunshine, a three-color battle flag emerged high from the southwest of Wancheng!
Huang Zhong did not hit his battle flag in the front because he knew that the most wanted to see was not his own battle flag, but this three-color battle flag that fought against the north and south!
"The cavalry is here!"
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The people of Wancheng who were fleeing desperately stood there, staring blankly at the three-color battle flag. After a while, they made a shocking shout!
"The cavalry is here! Here is here!"
Chapter completed!
