Clang!
The long-handled war knife collided with the four-foot iron sword in the air, and the momentum sank vigorously, but it was forcibly taken down by the iron sword, and he did not show weakness.
Immediately after, the blade of the sword flipped and leaned against the back of the sword, smearing towards the hilt.
But unexpectedly, the man with the sword was not a mediocre hand.
Seeing the sword attacking, he took it in his composure, raised his right hand, blocked the iron sword with the shaft, and relied on his tall stature to raise his leg and kick, forcing the sword-wielder to retreat.
When the opponent retreated, he held the middle of the sword, his body turned sharply, and the knife in his hand rotated, protecting his whole body, and quickly pressed up.
Faced with a fierce enemy approaching step by step, the sword-wielding man had no choice but to retreat into the ranks of the warriors of the armor, temporarily avoiding their edge, and instead slaughtering the defenders of the city.
Seeing that the sword-wielding man older than himself took the initiative to avoid it, Huang Zhong did not chase after him, and raised his sword to slash and kill the armor-piercing warriors, killing the enemy at a speed far higher than that of the elderly swordsmen. After all, in the midst of the thousands of soldiers on both sides, the lethality of the long-handled war knife far exceeded the power of the sword. Often, Huang Zhong can slash and kill two armor-piercing warriors with a single sword, and it is a single sword, which is neat.
It goes without saying that this old man, who is more than ten years older than Huang Zhong, is Zhang Quan, the great elder of the Five Dou Mi Sect.
He is good at the art of dodging and moving, and his body is flexible, but at this moment, he is on top of the city tower, surrounded by soldiers who are fighting against each other, and there is no chance to show his body at all. And his opponent Huang Zhong was armed with a long-handled sword. The attack range was so large that the Zar Warriors couldn't get close at all, which gave Huang Zhong plenty of room to exert himself. Open and close wide, and slaughter the samurai with impunity.
In this way, Huang Zhong and Zhang Quan sometimes fought, and sometimes slaughtered each other's soldiers.
After more than 20 rounds, Zhang Gong successively killed more than 30 defenders, but nearly 100 armor-piercing warriors died under Huang Zhong's sword.
Seeing that Huang Zhong was so brave, Zhang Quan was furious. couldn't help but be amazed at Huang Zhong. At this time, he knew that Huang Zhong was the commander of the Xiliang Army who had been lying in ambush on the top of the mountain behind him before, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack the Guardian Guard. It was this man who led more than 8,000 archers to shoot and kill more than 3,000 warriors in one fell swoop, forcing himself to lead his troops to storm the eastern city. Fortunately. After paying the price of more than 1,000 samurai casualties, Zhang Gong led the Cathar Guard to successfully seize the eastern tower, and then launched an attack on the Xiliang defenders on the front tower. At this time, Huang Zhong also led his troops down the mountain. After following Zhang Quan, he ascended to the top of the city. Continue to chase and kill Zhang Gong and lead the Guardian Guard.
It was precisely Huang Zhong who led his troops to arrive in time, which greatly reduced the pressure on the already precarious defenders of the city tower, virtually resolved the crisis at the south gate, and also made the beautiful vision of the Hanzhong army trying to capture Chencang City in one fell swoop stillborn, and it was delayed in capturing the city tower.
In addition, in the evening, when Fazheng issued the battle order, in order to prevent accidents, he ordered people to carry huge stones in advance to block the city gate. Its purpose was to prevent the Hanzhong army from breaking through the city gates. Then he rushed into the city in a hurry; After blocking the city gates, unless the Hanzhong army captures the city tower. Otherwise, don't think of stepping half a step into the city gate.
At first, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and others all thought that there was no need to do this, but Fa Zheng was stubborn for the sake of prudence. Unexpectedly, it was Fazheng's cautious actions that played an immeasurable role at the critical moment, so that the Hanzhong army began to attack the city from the dark time and lasted until the fourth watch in the middle of the night, but it never hit the city gate, and it was still blocked out of the city gate until now.
Despite this, the situation at the South Gate is still extremely dangerous and still at stake.
At the time of the third watch, the east and west sides of the city were lost one after another, so that the back troops stationed in the city guard could not support nearby, so they could only make a detour to other city gates and rush to support from the city wall. In this way, the Xiliang army became a tactic of adding oil, and was blocked by the Zajia warriors of the Wudou Mi Sect on the city walls at the east and west ends, unable to break through for a long time, and unable to support the defense on the south gate tower.
However, the Xiliang army in the city could not go up, and the Hanzhong army on the city tower could not go down. Because the Xiliang army gathered 3,000 men and horses at the staircase at the east and west ends, and set up strong bows and crossbows, the Hanzhong army was firmly blocked above the city tower. However, this was only a stopgap measure, and once the defenders of the tower were exhausted, the Hanzhong army would attack the city sooner or later. Once the Hanzhong army entered the city, the boulder blocking the city gate was bound to be removed, and Chencang City was about to fall.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Huang Zhong led his troops to arrive, and more than 3,000 soldiers of the Qin Bow Battalion flocked to the top, defeating the 500 armor warriors stationed in the eastern city tower in one fell swoop, and then fought with the Guardian Guard led by Zhang Gong.
From the beginning of the third watch, the south gate tower was crowded with soldiers, and the corners were full of people, all of which added up to nearly 10,000 people, and the strength of the two sides was almost equal.
Although the number of the two sides is almost the same, the combat effectiveness of the Guardian Guards of the Five Dou Mi Sect, that is, the Zha Jia warriors, is obviously higher than that of the Xiliang defenders, and they are all fierce and fierce. Although the 6,000 Zha Armor warriors led by Zhang Quan were attacked by the Qin Gong battalion and suffered heavy casualties, less than 2,000 actually climbed the tower; However, there were thousands of protector guards gathered on the west tower, and the attack was extremely fierce, and the Xiliang defenders were defeated and retreated, completely at a disadvantage.
Under the attack of the Zajia warriors from the east and west, the defenders of Xiliang could no longer suppress the Hanzhong army under the city to attack the city, causing more and more Hanzhong soldiers to climb the city tower and join the fight. Under the situation of eliminating the other's strengths, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to the Xiliang army, and it is in danger.
So far, the reason why the defenders of the city tower have been able to hold on to the present is because there is a new force led by Huang Zhong in the east to participate in the battle, and Huang Zhong is extremely brave, not only entangled Zhang Quan, but also killed and injured a large number of armored warriors, which greatly boosted the morale of the defenders. At the same time, on the west tower, Chen Dao, Cao Xing, and Ma Dai led the soldiers to fight bravely, curbing the offensive momentum of the Zajia warriors again and again, making the battle fall into a stalemate, and it has survived until now.
At four watches in the morning, the battle entered a white-hot stage, and the fighting became more and more fierce. At every moment, hundreds of soldiers of the two armies screamed to death, and the samurai under Zhang Lu fought to the death. The Xiliang defenders on the city tower had no way to retreat, and could only fight to the end. Vicious battle to this kind of Cheng dù, for the other side. It depends on who can persevere to the end, and success or failure is here.
The whole situation is very unfavorable to the Xiliang army, if they continue to fight, they will not wait for dawn, but they are afraid that the Xiliang soldiers on the city tower will be killed and wounded. And Fa Zheng, Ma Teng and others, who led the army to guard the staircase, were also leading the army at this time to fight with the Hanzhong army who tried to go downstairs, and both sides were killed and wounded.
In times of crisis. Fa Zheng, Ma Teng, Huang Zhong and Chen Zhi and others could only hope that Zhao Yun, who led the unequaled iron cavalry out of the city and robbed the camp, would be able to return as much as possible. As long as Zhao Yun led the iron cavalry to attack Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei and others under the city from behind, Zhang Lu would inevitably be frightened. It is bound to withdraw and flee. In this way, the crisis of Chen Cangcheng can be easily solved, and even the Hanzhong army can be chased and killed in one go to win the final victory.
However. It has been half an hour since the fire broke out in the Hanzhong military camp. But Zhao Yun led his troops to return for a long time. From this, it is not difficult to guess that Zhao Yun led his troops to rob the camp at first, but when he set fire to the camp, he encountered stubborn resistance from the defenders of the camp, and the fierce battle for half an hour still did not completely wipe out the defenders, so that the battle has not ended until now.
However, if Zhao Yun can't return in time, then Chen Cangcheng will be in danger, and it will fall before dawn.
????????????
"The old man is Zhang Gong in Hanzhong. Who are you? ”
Seeing that there are more and more Hanzhong generals who have climbed the city tower, there are fewer and fewer Xiliang defenders. The shape was very good, Zhang Gong finally stopped dodging and blocked in front of Huang Zhong again. This time, he seems to want to compete with Huang Zhong, or drag Huang Zhong down, so that the Zajia warriors and Hanzhong generals can let go of their hands and feet to eliminate the defenders, and fight a quick battle, lest it will change later.
"Nanyang Huang Zhong Huang Hansheng."
After Huang Zhong swung his sword and killed an armor-piercing warrior, he looked coldly at the swordsman Zhang Quan, who was over sixty years old, and said in a deep voice with a disdainful expression: "Huang saw that you were old before, and he repeatedly showed mercy to his subordinates, but he didn't want you to be an old man, but he didn't know what to do, waiting for the opportunity to attack and kill nearly 100 soldiers of our army, and he was a ruthless person. This time, Huang will never show mercy to his subordinates, and will definitely behead you under the knife to avenge the soldiers who died unjustly under your sword! ”
Before the words fell, the blade in Huang Zhong's hand turned sharply, and he instantly swung the knife and attacked, and said sharply: "Don't talk nonsense, suffer death!" ”
"Hmph, the ability is not big, but the tone is not small! The old man is not afraid of you, and what is the ability to do it! ”
Zhang Gong snorted coldly, stepped forward, and waved his sword to meet him. However, he took this step, and it seemed to be facing him head-on, but in fact, his body turned sideways, and he could avoid Huang Zhong's swing of the knife and slash directly, and then moved under his feet, and suddenly Huang Zhong's left side appeared, and the four-foot sword blade stabbed straight at Huang Zhong's left side of the chest.
At the critical moment, he saw Huang Zhong leaning back, his body bent at ninety degrees, and his left hand clenched into a fist towards Zhang Quan's right abdomen. At the same time, he swept his left leg and attacked Zhang Quan to go down the plate, trying to force him to be unable to dodge, avoiding the punches and inevitably getting a kick.
However, Huang Zhong miscalculated again this time, and all his punches and kicks missed, but Zhang Gong swung his sword and cut through the armor on his left shoulder, leaving a two-inch-long cut on his shoulder. However, Huang Zhong clearly saw the process of Zhang Quan dodging his fists and feet and stabbing himself with his sword, but he saw that Zhang Quan was on the tip of his fist and kick at the moment of his fist and kick, and jumped up nearly a zhang high, less than three feet from the beam above his head, and flipped in the air when he rose up, swinging the sword on his head and feet, and the sword blade slashed over Huang Zhong's left shoulder, leaving a bloody wound.
Huang Zhong was shocked by this scene, and his heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but put away his contempt, and fought back without hesitation. I saw that his right arm waved, and the war knife in his hand instantly slashed towards Zhang Gong, who had not yet landed, if this knife was hit, it would inevitably be cut in two. But Zhang Quan was not afraid, only to see his long sword stabbed obliquely, landing on the surface of the war knife with extreme precision, and then the sword blade was bent by force, and Zhang Quan used the skill of the sword blade to turn his back to the ground, and once again dodged the powerful and heavy knife.
However, Zhang Quan didn't know that Huang Zhong's knife was just a feint, and when he landed on the ground, he suddenly heard a strong air flow behind him. Suddenly, Zhang Quan tried to dodge, but he couldn't dodge, and was kicked in the back by Huang Zhong, who jumped up. This kick made Zhang Quan scream in pain, fell to the ground head-on, and rolled more than ten steps away, and then spat blood from his mouth, and was already seriously injured.
This is the essential difference between the battle-hardened generals and the Green Forest Ranger, no matter how dexterous the ranger's body is and how weird the moves are, as long as there is a little slack, it is enough to be hit by the general, and defeat the enemy with one blow.
