Chapter 547: Zhang Xiu's Growth
The planks of the cloud wheel leaned diagonally against the city wall, and the ramp was more than 200 steps long. Zhang Xiu wanted to rush forward on his horse, but after some visual inspection, he also knew that it was too risky, so he turned over and dismounted, and picked up a shield. Passing the others, he jumped on the cloud car and rushed to the head of the city in one go.
By the time he reached the top of the city, Zhang Xiu was ready for a sudden attack by the enemy from the battlements. But when I looked around, I saw smoke rising from the rammed earth walls broken by throwing stones, stumbling on the ground full of rubble, timber, and corpses, and many bloody hands and feet sticking out from under the beams of the collapsed gatehouse, but no living enemy soldiers were found.
'No way, just a feint for two days. Even if he had attacked with all his strength an hour ago, it was impossible to kill all the troops on this city wall........ Zhang Xiu's mind turned around suddenly. As if in response to his gaze, a group of soldiers emerged from the smoke and dust, and when they saw the soldiers of the Northwest Army going uptown, they shouted to greet them.
I have to say that the Tiger Ben Forbidden Army, which was powerful outside the fortress back then and later exterminated the golden traitors, still has strong combat effectiveness. And their armored weapons seem to be better than those of the Northwest Army. Under the hand-to-hand combat, many Northwest Army, who had not yet reacted, were shocked by this sudden blow and were killed on the ground one after another.
And one of them, looking at the outfit, seemed to be a small colonel, shouting and brandishing an iron spear and rushing towards Zhang Xiu, wanting to obtain Zhang Xiu's head as a merit. It's a pity that in Zhang Xiu's eyes, his martial arts that can defeat other forbidden armies are scattered, Zhang Xiu casually crossed the shield and hit it, and immediately beat the man backwards, hitting the other two people who rushed up behind him.
Then caught up with a step, Zhang Xiu swung his gun and was stabbed to death by the colonel. Even the two people who were knocked down were also wiped their necks by the tip of Zhang Xiu's gun. Seeing these three enemies who were weaker than himself and were easily killed by himself, Zhang Xiu suddenly felt a sense of pity. But the pity flashed, and Zhang Xiu heard that a person next to him had already stabbed him from the side. Zhang Xiu then easily avoided the edge, and without hesitation, he sent the spear into the man's chest.
As soon as the killing intent opened, it could no longer be contained. Zhang Xiu shouted and beheaded the two of them one after another, dispersing several forbidden soldiers in front of him. Suddenly, there was a violent vibration under his feet, and Zhang Xiu suddenly fell sideways. When he looked back, he saw a boulder the size of a wheel thrown up from under the city, hitting several of his comrades behind him, running over them who were still cheering just a moment ago, and dragging their red tails into the city.
'The battlefield is merciless, and there is no distinction between friend and foe. This is the second lesson that Zhang Xiu learned.
But before he could stand up, a strong wind blew from the cloud car behind him, and a large black shadow flew over it. Zhang Xiu hurriedly crouched on the spot and curled up, and then saw a huge black war horse falling in front of him, the horse's hooves were only four feet away from his head: he recognized that the knight on horseback was Xiliang Jin Ma Chao.
Seeing Ma Chao's heroic posture and thinking of the shame of being curled up at this time, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but be aroused to win. Then he stood up, his eyes flashing red, and with his spear and shield in hand, he threw himself into the slaughter again.
And Ma Chao came up to the city, but he didn't recognize Zhang Xiu, his feet knocked on the horse's belly again, like the dragon Xiaohei rushed forward, crashed into the influx of county soldiers, many people were arched to the ground, and the war horse continued to move forward, stepping heavily on their bodies. Ma Chaotan lowered his body, and the Coiling Dragon Crouching Tiger Spear easily pierced the side neck of the first lieutenant on the right. With a sweep of the gun, the lieutenant was cut wide from the side of his neck to the Adam's apple.
The blood immediately burst out, but Ma Chao was in the midst of the killing, dancing lightly, not only maintaining the uninterrupted killing accumulation, but also not letting the blood touch him at all. At this time, another man dressed as a lieutenant screamed loudly and pounced desperately. was poked in the face by Ma Chao, and the blade stabbed it in the eye.
The shock between the electric light and flint made the enemy soldiers around Ma Chao so frightened that their legs were weak, and they stood together in a daze. Ma Chaojun's face remained unchanged, he shouted, and immediately stepped forward and slashed horizontally, and the three heads rolled to the ground together.
Zhang Xiu gasped on the side, although he knew that he was not Ma Chao's opponent, but after seeing the accuracy and sharpness of this just now, Zhang Xiu realized that he still greatly underestimated Xiliang Jin Ma Chao: looking at his indifferent and cold face, in front of him, I am afraid that he is just a child who has just started on the battlefield, right? .......
However, this does not mean that Zhang Xiu will admit defeat: since it is a battlefield, martial arts are only one aspect. This time, whoever can cut off Xu Rong's head first and crush the enemy's will to defend the city will be the final winner!
Fortunately, when Zhang Xiu was killing before, after scanning the surroundings, he suddenly stared at a direction: at the end of that direction, there was a person standing, holding a bow and arrows, red robes and black armor, which was particularly conspicuous among the tiger forbidden army full of brown armor. That person is Xu Rong!
After seeing Xu Rong, Zhang Xiu perked up, turned his head and glanced at Ma Chao first, and saw that Ma Chao hadn't noticed himself yet. Only then did he raise his shield and hide, and rushed towards Xu Rong.
Xu Rong was also shocked when he saw a person shuttling through his formation like a spirit fox, coming straight to him. Removed the bow and arrows, raised his hand was a series of three arrows, only to hear the sound of "grab" and "grab" endlessly, all nailed to the shield.
After resisting the three arrows, Zhang Xiu strode forward, and the guards around Xu Rong rushed to stop in the middle, and were hit by Zhang Xiu's horizontal card, and they all spit blood and flew out.
Xu Rong saw that the little man was going to be vicious, so he hurriedly abandoned his bow and arrows, and picked up a huge iron chain flail and threw it out horizontally. was not afraid of Zhang Xiu's direct rush, but bravely went up, jumped up and smashed the iron chain flail in his hand. With a loud "bang", Zhang Xiu raised his shield obliquely to remove most of the power of the chain flail, Rao is so, the iron shield was still smashed!
Zhang Xiu's left arm holding the shield had been drenched in blood by the iron thorns of the flail. He howled like a wolf, no longer the demeanor of a white-faced handsome general, after being stimulated by the eagerness to kill and Ma Chao's shock, the severe pain finally aroused the fierce spirit in his bones that was not afraid of death, and suddenly erupted, regardless of the pain, he copied it with his backhand, and actually grasped the flail head full of iron thorns. Xu Rong didn't seem to expect his move at all, and suddenly the empty door was revealed, and when he was about to raise his leg and kick out, it was already a step too late - Zhang Xiu's right hand spear was raised, and he was already ready to stab with the gun!!
But at this moment, a horse neighing pulled the attention of Zhang Xiu and Xu Rong over for a moment. Zhang Xiu looked back, only to see that it was Ma Chao who had already come over, and shouted: "Leave his life!" ”
"You are?! ......." Xu Rong suddenly saw Ma Chao's face clearly by the torch on the city wall, and couldn't help but be shocked: "Why are you here?!! ”
It's a pity that before the words fell, Xu Rong felt dizzy, and was swept to the back of the head by Zhang Xiu, and fainted. And Ma Chao rushed into the formation, and after picking up Xu Rong, the big gun swept to the big flag behind Xu Rong, turned his head and said to Zhang Xiu: "Good job!" Next, you should know how to do it, right? ”
"My subordinates understand!" Zhang Xiu replied, with a shot in his hand, he turned out to be a member of Xu Rong's personal guard, cut off his head, and shouted: "Xu Rong has been killed by me Zhang Xiu!" The rest surrendered quickly!! ”
Seeing this, Ma Chao smiled, and by the night, he drove the unconscious Xu Rong and quietly left the city, where the situation had been decided.......
