The arrows were shooting like rain, endlessly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Sun Guan held his shield and quietly stretched out his head to look at the river, which was densely packed with enemies. Sun Guan gasped, it was really unlucky, the Yanzhou army chose this place to cross the river?

Li Zhong walked out of the big tent, looked at the fire that lit up half of the night sky in the distance, and exclaimed excitedly: "It's finally here, I thought you were going to hide until autumn." ”

"Give the order to the troops to retreat into the city."

The heralds standing aside suddenly complied, and galloped away one after another.

"Urgently tell General Zhang He and ask him to send iron cavalry to answer along the road."

Then Li Zhong turned over his horse, turned back to the guards who were waiting in formation, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to the front and see who is the first to cross the Yellow River today." ”

………………

Xiahoudun strode up the embankment.

Hundreds of paces ahead, Cao's assault army was fighting bloodily with the Jizhou army that came to support from all directions. The sound of fierce fighting was deafening.

Xiahoudun looked around, waved his hand and said, "Tell Cao Ren, Li Dian, and Cao Hong to speed up the speed of crossing the river and quickly advance towards Dongwuyang."

"General, the Jizhou army is fiercely blocked, you better wait here for a while." One of his subordinates saw that Xiahoudun was going to continue to move forward, and hurriedly stopped him.

"What are you afraid of, there are only a small number of enemy troops in front, and they are vulnerable." Xiahoudun walked to the fire, and as he spoke, he took off his combat boots. poured the river water that remained in his boots on the fire, "Although we have never fought head-on with the Northern Xinjiang Army, with our elite in Yanzhou, we can definitely kill them to the ground." ”

………………

Sun Guan flew up and kicked the enemy's corpse, then followed with a sharp spear and stabbed into the enemy's chest.

Several Cao soldiers saw that Sun Guan had killed more than a dozen people in a row, and they were very fierce, and they all rushed up.

"When ......" There was a loud bang, Sun Guanyuan's shield waved, and smashed the enemy head-on, and the war knife in his hand penetrated the chest of another enemy in this short moment.

"Get out of ......" Sun Guan roared angrily, raised his foot and kicked the screaming enemy, his body leaned back, and the sword slashed behind with a trace of blood.

The spear burst into the air.

Sun Guan's eyes were about to split, and he stepped on the enemy's corpse and flew into the air, his sword plunged into the enemy's back, and the soaring body knocked the enemy out with amazing force.

An army soldier retreated with men and horses in a hurry.

Li Zhong came on horseback and asked in a loud voice, "Who is crossing the river?" ”

"It's Xiahoudun's traitor." The soldier gritted his teeth and said, "I want to counterattack." ”

"Pull back first." Li Zhong waved his hand and said, "When we get to Tobu City, we will beat him again." Have all the people withdrawn? ”

"No, General Sun's men and horses are entangled by the enemy and can't be withdrawn." The soldier shouted, "I'm going to save them." ”

"Withdraw!" Li Zhong said categorically.

"General, those are our brothers!" The soldier said with great grief and indignation, "You give me a hundred men, and I will rescue them." ”

"You take the men and horses and withdraw first, and I will rescue them." Li Zhong raised his spear, turned around and shouted, "Brothers, kill, kill with me......"

………………

In the dark of night, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in front of the battlefield.

The sound of hooves was dense, flickering to the right, and occasionally there was a long horn sound one after another, as if several iron horsemen were killing from different directions.

Xiahoudun decisively ordered to withdraw from the battle, stick to the embankment, and block the northern iron cavalry with a dense array of arrows.

The besieged Sun Guan took advantage of this rare opportunity and withdrew from the battlefield as quickly as possible with the rest of the men and horses.

Li Zhong held a spear in one hand and a torch in the other, and stood quietly in the dark.

"General Li......" Sun Guan and the others greeted him in surprise.

Li Zhong smiled slightly, and the torch in his hand shook continuously.

"General Li, our iron cavalry has arrived?" Sun Guan asked excitedly.

Li Zhong smiled: "It's here." Tomorrow we will fight the traitors to the death under Tobu Yang Castle. ”

It didn't take long for dozens of guards to rush out from different places.

"Is that you?" Sun Guan said in surprise, "I thought the Iron Cavalry Army was coming." ”

"Hmph......" Li Zhong looked at the bright distance and sneered, "Thirty horsemen are enough to deal with Xiahoudun's kind of goods." ”

………………

Liyang.

On the surface of the Yellow River, sails are like forests.

Captain Yu Yu stood on the city tower, looking at the slowly approaching boats on the river, murderous.

Yuan Shao, you're finally here.

………………

Han Qiong strode off the warship, and Zhang Nan and Tao Sheng hurriedly greeted them with a group of generals.

"When will the city be attacked?" After Han Qiong exchanged a few words with everyone, she turned her head and asked Zhang Nandao, "Can you start now?" ”

Zhang Nan's face was embarrassed, and he whispered: "General Han, the army is still crossing the river, and many siege equipment have not yet been transported to the city......"

Han Qiong snorted dissatisfiedly, and said disdainfully: "How capable is Yu Poison?" We have been fighting with him for seven or eight years, and which time has he won against us? Siege the city immediately. ”

Zhang Nan and Tao Sheng looked at each other, looking hesitant. Zhang Nan said: "General Han, Yu Yu is now the captain of the Jicheng Imperial Court, and the army he commands is the elite ...... of the Northern Xinjiang Army."

"Elite? Isn't it just a gang of yellow turban thieves in Montenegro? Han Qiong waved his hand disdainfully and said categorically, "Attack the city immediately!" ”

………………

The drums of war thundered, and the sound of killing was like a tide. The Henan army, under the command of Zhang Nan and Tao Sheng, launched an attack on Liyang.

On Liyang City, a series of crossbow carts opened their mouths wide, and rows of strong archers were ready to draw their bows.

On the wide streets below the city, dozens of large catapults lined up, ready to strike a thunderous blow.

The enemy's arrows began to shoot, and the long arrows covered the sky like locusts.

With a dense drum beat, the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Army raised their shields almost in the same place. Countless shields were connected together, and suddenly two impermeable black city walls were formed above and below the city, which was magnificent.

The siege soldiers rushed towards the city walls like a tidal wave, and a loud roar shook the city of Liyang.

The guards surrounding Yu Poison removed their shields and lined up on both sides.

Yu Poison took two steps forward, supported the wall with both hands, and looked down, with a strong murderous intent on his face.

The soldiers above and below the city raised their heads and looked at the flying banner, just waiting for the moment to attack.

Yu Poison turned around violently, raised his arms high, and shouted: "Brothers, avenge the blood and hatred of our dead brothers......

The drums of war rose into the sky, making the flags dance wildly.

There was a loud bang, and catapults, ballistae, and bows were fired at the same time, and whistling stones and arrows filled the sky in an instant.

Liyang City trembled violently at this moment, and Sergeant Yuan immediately fell into the abyss of death. One by one, the running soldiers fell under the dense array of arrows, and the stones that came from the roar were like man-eating beasts, wantonly devouring one fresh life after another, and in a short time, a hundred paces away from the moat was full of corpses, and no one could approach the moat.

Han Qiong, Zhang Nan and others, who were standing in the distance and commanding the siege, were shocked.

"How many Northern Frontier troops are there in Liyang? Have you found out? Han Qiong looked at the bloody battlefield in front of him and asked angrily, "With such a strong force, how can there be only five thousand men and horses?" ”

"General Han, this place was originally defended by Xu Huang, the general of the Northern Frontier Army." Tao Sheng bowed and replied, "Unless Xu Huang is still in the city, Xia Guan can take his head and guarantee that there are only five thousand people and horses here." ”

"Xu Huang's army is in Hemu City, and now he is fighting with Liu Pan's army in Jingzhou, and it is impossible to be in Liyang." Han Qiong waved his hand vigorously and said very dissatisfied, "You have been stationed on the other side for more than a month, and you haven't even figured out how many Northern Frontier troops there are in Liyang, it's too unusual. ”

"Urgently tell the lord of Puyang that the army's attack has been blocked, and ask him to urge the two generals of Hebei Zhang Yang and Han Hao to quickly attack Neihuang and Yecheng, so as to cut off the back road of the Northern Xinjiang Army and respond to our army going north."

"General Han, can we attack the city now?" Zhang Nan hurriedly asked.

"At dusk, attack again." Han Qiong groaned slightly, "Focus on feints and consume as much force in the city as possible." ”

………………

Jizhou, Wei County, Inner Huangcheng.

There are lakes and rivers here, rivers with dangshui, and ditches that have dried up, and the terrain is complex, and the army marches very slowly.

Hanoi Han Hao led the army to set off from Dangyin, traveled thirty miles a day, and slowly approached Neihuangcheng.

If the army could quickly capture Neihuang, it would cut off the retreat of the Liyang Northern Frontier Army, but Zhang Yang repeatedly warned him not to attack the city lightly, and wait for Yuan Shao to take Liyang.

Han Hao disagreed, this time the coalition army of hundreds of thousands of horses attacked Jizhou at the same time, and the Northern Xinjiang Army had three heads and six arms, and it could not cope with such a large-scale attack.

He ordered the army to cross the Inner Yellow River and kill the Inner Yellow River.

The front army was the first to cross the river, but only half of the men and horses were half of the men and horses, and the scouts galloped back from the rear.

The scouts brought back news that the iron cavalry of the Northern Frontier Army was killing from the direction of Yecheng.

"What about Zhang Yang? Didn't Zhang Yang lead the army to approach Yecheng? Han Hao asked in surprise.

"General Zhang has also been attacked and is retreating." The scout pulled out a flamboyant letter, "He's retreating to the Huanshui River." ”

Han Hao asked strangely, "Retreat?" Withdraw before you fight? ”

The scout replied: "General Hui, we have seen the battle flags of Zhang Fei and Lu Bu, and the area around Wei County must be the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army. Our forces were limited and we could not get the support of the Henan Army, so General Zhang ordered all units to retreat quickly to avoid being surrounded by the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army. ”

If Han Hao encounters the Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry, and the Northern Frontier Army in Neihuang City will fight again, attacking back and forth, the loss will be too great.

"The order has been crossed to the front, immediately withdraw." Han Hao didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly ordered, "The army retreats thirty miles." ”

………………

"Want to withdraw?" Sima Ju, the infantry captain of the Northern Xinjiang Army, poked his head out of the deep ditch of the ambush and snorted contemptuously, "If you don't leave anything down, you want to leave?" ”

With one hand, he pushed away the planks that covered the ravine, rolled over and jumped onto the ground.

Because of the long time lurking in the ditch, he was sweating profusely, and his muscles protruded from his body were all densely covered with beads of sweat.

The dirt on the plank was sprinkled all over him, and the black dirt mixed with beads of sweat made him look like a wild man.

The drums of war rang out, and a thousand lurking soldiers rushed out almost at the same time. A thousand warriors, a thousand shirtless thugs, a thousand angry warriors.

The Hanoi sergeants, who were preparing to leave, panicked.

On the other side of the river, Han Hao and his subordinates were dumbfounded, and the Northern Frontier Army was indeed in ambush. (To be continued.) )
