Chapter 949: The Bloody Battle of the Remnants
"Stabilize the formation and form a formation!"
The surprise attack on its unpreparedness, and the internal response opened the city gate, and there was the echo of more than 70,000 troops outside the city. Zhong Shen, who rushed to the south gate with five hundred heavily armored foot soldiers and five hundred crossbowmen, thought so.
But as a result, as soon as I turned a street corner, I reached a place where the fire could not shine, and dozens of shadowy black shadows rushed up, like an arrow off the string!
"Steady! Resist! The soldiers around Zhong Shen shouted in unison, hoarse. Although it came very suddenly, there were not many people on the other side, not even one-tenth of their own side. As long as you block the three-plate axe at the beginning of the opponent, you are not afraid that they will be able to turn the sky upside down.
I have to say that there are some problems with Xiahoudun's appointment, the Zhong Shen brothers are all characters with more muscles than brains, and it is a bit dangerous to be a rush and be so-so, so it is a bit dangerous for him to be alone.
Suddenly encountered an enemy attack, Zhong Shen, who was the main general, subconsciously went to find the banner of the Chinese army, but he looked empty. The two sides have been separated, where is there any banner to show him? He was in a daze, and the entire army could not react correctly at the first time, so they could only look at each other in place, shouting stream-of-consciousness commands, which did nothing to help the enemy.
Wei Yan had already rushed out with the intention of fighting for his life. More than 30 of his people want to stop Xiahoudun, and I am afraid that it will not take a stick of incense to kill them cleanly. When he found out that Cao Jun had divided his troops, he thought about whether he could find a soft persimmon to pinch first, and if he succeeded, he might be able to disrupt the enemy's position or something.
As a result, he didn't expect that things were much smoother than expected, and the enemy general was unsuspecting, and he was in a hurry, and his surprise attack directly hit the vital point, which made him overjoyed.
"Kill!" He used his left shield and knife again, first overthrowing a soldier with his left hand, and stabbing with a large knife in his right hand, instantly piercing the body of a lightly armored crossbowman. He then used the crossbowman's body as a sledgehammer and smashed it directly into several nearby enemy soldiers. The soldiers of Cao did not want to harm the remains of their brothers, and they could not stop such a might, so they could only retreat and avoid it.
Wei Yan laughed and stepped forward, one step, one step at a time, throwing off the burden on the big knife, sweeping and splitting vertically, and directly killing a gap in the enemy formation.
The spies of the Hidden Mist Army and the main general advance and retreat together, and the usually suppressed blood nature is completely stimulated, and they are as fierce as a group of wild wolves forced onto a cliff. They roared and bared their teeth, tearing apart the enemy troops that stood in their way, they hacked to death panicked opponents, and cut down battle flags one after another. Pick up torches dropped by enemy soldiers from the ground, and light the battle flag and corpse as chopping wood, sending out billowing smoke.
found that the enemy who led the army was Wei Yan, and Cao Bing, who was dizzy, trembled again. During the day, Wei Yan's fierce appearance of fighting in the city, everyone saw it, although he was still not defeated by General Dian in the end, but now General Dian is not here, who can stop such a ruthless person?
"The enemy general is rampant, and I am here!" Zhong Shen finally came back to his senses, and found that he was frightened by dozens of enemy troops, and the entire formation was disrupted.
"You are also worthy of a halberd?" Wei Yan was originally running for him, and when he saw Zhong Shen killing, he was not surprised, and he waved his knife to meet him, and mocked loudly.
"You're looking for death!" Zhong Shen was furious, and when he shook his halberd, he stabbed when he was distracted.
Seeing that the painting halberd was stabbing at the scene, it was very fierce, but Wei Yan was not in a hurry, and with a flick of the shield in his left hand, he smashed into the group of pro-soldiers behind Zhong Shen, and stepped on a lunge under his feet.
Zhong Shen didn't expect the enemy to dare to take such a risk, so he didn't take guard for a while, only to feel that there was a flower in front of him, and he actually lost the trace of the enemy. I shouted in my heart that it was not good, and when I was about to retreat from the halberd, there was a cold light flashing in front of me, and I felt that the strong wind was coming to my body, and I shouted again in my heart: My life is over!
It's complicated to say, in the eyes of onlookers, it's just a blink of an eye, the two figures staggered, and then Zhong Shen's blood surged, pushing the golden mountain, pouring the jade pillar, and falling directly to the ground.
"Vulnerable! Kill, kill them all! Wei Yan raised his sword and pointed forward, and the army fought bravely.
Although the Cao army was numerous, the main enemy would be killed one by one, and the sound of fighting came from other directions, which was completely different from the expected one-sided situation, and I panicked in my heart.
Because it was a street battle, the narrow streets were not conducive to a siege, and more than 1,000 people were beaten by dozens of people and retreated, so they had to blow the horn for help.
Similar battles can be seen everywhere in the city, there are many veterans of the Puyang Army, and when they are forced to the line of life and death, those who are not afraid of death abound. If you can find a team, you can find a team, and if you can't find a team, you dare to rush to the team.
Wei Yan raided the enemy army of 1,000 with 33 people, and many veterans of the border army simply rushed to Xiahoudun's brigade alone, with the help of houses and the cover of darkness, fighting for their lives, this kind of moth-like attack was repeatedly effective. If you want to kill a veteran, you always have to exchange several times the number of human lives, which makes a fierce general like Xiahoudun a little frightened.
The sacrifices of these outlaws were not in vain, and it was with such a small delay that Gao Shun arrived at the barracks before Xiahoudun, gathered the trapped camp, and quickly launched a counterattack.
Xiahoudun has more troops, but what the trapped camp is best at is melee. In the street fighting, the spear was difficult to wield, but the hook set weapon was like a fish in water, and the battle between the two armies quickly evolved into a stalemate, and the battlefield began to extend to the surrounding areas, and almost the entire city was drawn into the flames of war.
A new day begins in such a prelude.
"Haven't won it yet?"
"Can't even the other three gates be opened? There are only 5,000 soldiers in the city, right? How could the ability of the general to be in such a stalemate situation? ”
"The longer it drags on, the harder it will be to finish!"
"No, it's obviously like this, why don't the defenders break through? Are they still lucky? What else can they count on now......"
The discussion came to an abrupt end.
When it comes to the most sensitive topic at the moment, time.
In this vigorous Central Plains war, the final suspense is in time, who can take the lead in solving the opponent in front of him, and then complete the strategic deployment, it is possible to achieve the final victory.
The problem in front of Cao Jun is that the longer this remnant army in the city drags on, the more dangerous it becomes. In case any of the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou arrive when the battle in the city has not yet been resolved, the situation is not easy to say, in case there is more than one road of soldiers and horses, the consequences are really unimaginable!
Everyone stopped talking and quietly observed Cao Cao's face. The latter was silent, and his face was quite calm, but at this moment, an unyielding shout suddenly sounded in the city, as unstoppable as the morning sun, piercing the earth-shattering sound of the battle, overpowering the noisy drums and trumpets, deafening!
"Attacking the camp and trapping ......"
"Invincible!"
Cao Cao's face sank suddenly, he waved his hand resolutely, and hissed and shouted: "Pass my general order to attack the city!" Attack on three sides, be sure to open the city gate before the hour, and solve the battle before the hour! ”
