The battle for the military fortress begins again.
The iron chain at the Han River has been broken open by Cao Jun, so Cao Jun's ships can get closer and closer to the base of the military fortress, and a large number of Cao Jun's troops are sent to land and fight.
Xu Yu cut off the head of Cao's soldier that was sticking out of the shield with one stroke. The soldiers around him also chopped with their swords and stabbed with spears to repel the approaching Cao's army. Cao's army kept screaming and fell from the hillside.
, or fall down and never stand up again.
However, similarly, after destroying some of the defenses of the military fortress, Cao Jun was not only able to attack up the hillside, but also added arrows shot from the side and back by the Han River, which also made the defenders in the military fortress
There was a lot of damage.
Although Liu Xiong commanded the archers and even tried to suppress Cao Jun's archers in the Han River, the problem was that the building ships were like city walls, with parapets, wooden stacks, and even many shields. Therefore, Liu Xiong
Although they tried their best to suppress it, the lethality was not enough after all. After lowering the sail on the building ship, the rocket was not easy to ignite. For a while, no good results were achieved, and in the end, I had to give up suppressing the Han River.
Fight with all your strength against Cao's army attacking from land...
At present, the battle has entered a fierce stage on the main channel in front of the military base mountain. Rolling stones and wood are undoubtedly the biggest killers in such terrain. As long as Cao's army is hit by rolling stones and wood, they will almost always be hit by huge rocks.
The force of the impact caused them to fly away and kill them, and there were also many people with broken bones and tendons. However, the flaws of the rolling stone wood are also very obvious. Once released, its attack route is basically determined. If you avoid it quickly, you can even watch the fun and damage.
There is no effect at all, so if one or two Rolling Stones are released individually, the killing effect is insufficient. If released in batches, the consumption amount becomes a problem.
Due to road restrictions, Xiahou Dun divided his soldiers into five waves, with two hundred men in each team, taking turns to attack the military fortress.
Liu Xiong couldn't get a good opportunity to repair at all, he could only be forced to deal with it constantly.
Xu Yu held up the sword slashed by a soldier of Cao Army. Sparks burst out between the two swords. The soldier of Cao Army almost stared at his eyes. He pressed with all his strength and pressed Xu Yu's sword with all his strength. He was about to kill Xu Yu before his eyes.
When Yu's sword pressed forward, Xu Yu flew up and kicked the opponent directly on the lower third path. Cao's soldiers suddenly opened their mouths and became stunned. Immediately, Xu Yu slashed his shoulder and neck with a knife, and his whole body was chopped horizontally.
Fly out.
"Bah! Guapi!" Xu Yu cursed, then turned around and shouted, "Stay in line! Steady..."
Xu Yu took advantage of the gap and stepped forward to help an injured soldier behind him, and then moved forward again. Seeing that one of his soldiers was being killed by Cao Jun and rolling around, he strode forward and passed a soldier.
Cao Jun's sword saved the soldier of his own, and then fought with another Cao Jun soldier. It was precisely because of this that he was hit in the shoulder by the attack of Cao Jun's soldier. He was unable to lift it up immediately. If it weren't for the shoulder
With armor protection, it is unlikely that he would be seriously injured on the spot!
A good pair of armor, in the age of cold weapons, is an extra life!
If it were not for the excellent armor protection of the hussars, even Xu Yu or Liu Xiong, or ordinary hussars soldiers, would have suffered much greater damage, and their morale would have declined as the number of wounded continued to increase.
It won't be as tough and lasting as it is now.
Three to four hundred people crowded into the narrow passage, each one like a red-eyed butcher, hacking at each other mercilessly, flesh and blood flying everywhere, and blood flowing into rivers.
Xiahou Dun stood on the building boat and frowned as he watched the battle on the military base mountain road.
At first, Xiahou Dun was somewhat dissatisfied with Cao Hong's failure, even though he didn't say it. After all, Cao Hong's failure also put Xiahou Dun in an extremely disadvantageous position. If Cao Cao hadn't turned around and returned to the army, he would have brought a large number of troops.
Supplies and soldiers, it is impossible to say that Xiahou Dun will now face a difficult battle and painful choices...
However, now that he saw the fight at the military base, Xiahou Dun suddenly understood why Cao Hong failed...
Similarly, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but feel worried again. He originally thought that the cavalry under General Hussar was good, but now it seems that the Hussar is actually not weak in foot combat, at least in the battle with Cao Jun.
There is no feeling of being at a disadvantage. You must know that these Cao soldiers who attacked the military fortress are all veterans!
The attack turned out to be so difficult...
Xiahou Dun looked up at the sky and then ordered another attack.
The number of Cao's troops at the military base increased again, and the entire front line was gradually expanded. Seeing the crisis on the front line, Liu Xiong did not bother to suppress the surface ships on the rear line, but led the soldiers from the rear camp toward the military base.
He went to the front and replaced Xu Yu. In front of the military base, the enemy and we were entangled again, and blood was flying everywhere.
Without Liu Xiong's suppression, Cao's army on the water, or the surrendered Jingzhou soldiers, shot even more happily. Then, because there was no timely care and treatment in the camp behind the military base, many places were set on fire, and black smoke billowed out.
rise……
Time flew by quickly during the fight. The sun hid behind the thick clouds, seeming to be frightened by the killing battlefield in front of him. From time to time, half of his face would be revealed to take a peek, and then he would shrink back. Unknowingly, the sun would
Sneaking far away, I was about to run to the other side of the mountain...
Xiahou Dun raised his head to look at the sky, then suddenly turned back and said: "Send the order! Stop the attack, withdraw your troops and return to the ship!"
The clanging sound of gold rang out, and Cao Jun on the battlefield gradually retreated, taking the wounded with him like half of the retreating sea water, rolling up bloody foam, and then retreated.
"General..." Cai Mao was a little confused.
Xiahou Dun pointed in the direction of Fancheng, "I'm afraid the reinforcements are coming soon..."
Cai Mao was stunned, and then stopped talking.
Xiahou Dun continued: "...If the reinforcements do not come, we will fight again tomorrow. How long can we last with these troops in the fortress?" Xiahou Dun did not need to explain to Cai Mao, but in order to maintain a better cooperation
Xiahou Dun didn't mind saying a few more words about his posture.
"The general has good views... The general's planning is indeed extraordinary..." Cai Hao chuckled and said with his hands raised. It's not that Cai Hao didn't understand, it was just that in order to make himself look less smart, he had to put on some pretense.
The two people's eyes met, and then they turned away in unison.
Now, it depends on how the general of the Hussar army chooses...
Should we continue to rescue Wancheng, or garrison Fancheng, or like some people, want both?
However, Xiahou Dun believed that Xu Huang could not give up Wancheng. Just like if Xiahou Dun found out that Chen Liu's hometown was being attacked, could he just sit back and ignore it? Although Wancheng only has the Huang family and the Pang family, and no Fei family, but now
Most of the Hussar's subordinates are still in charge of the Jingxiang faction. Even if the Hussar can "get a share of the pie", is it possible that the Hussar can demand the same decisiveness from his subordinates?
This issue was also considered by Xu Huang, so he finally chose to send troops to first pick up Xu Yu and Liu Xiong at the military base, and then recalled Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang to discuss and assign tasks for the next stage.
Xiahou Dun was obviously not satisfied with capturing the military fortress. His target was obviously Fan City, but there were still heavy troops in Fan City. Even if Xiahou Dun was a fool, he would not attack while Xu Huang was gone, so once Xu Huang went to rescue
Wancheng, then Fancheng will inevitably usher in a new round of attacks.
It's not that Xu Huang doesn't understand this, but Wancheng is obviously more important, but similarly, the location of Fancheng is also critical. If Fancheng is lost, it means that the flanks from Wancheng to Wuguan will be attacked...
Even if he leads a large army to rescue Wancheng, this road is not easy to travel. Among other things, the new fields along the way, whether to fight or not to fight, is a headache.
After pondering for a long time, Xu Huang finally made a decision...
……_(:з ∠)_……
Seven or eight horses rode like the wind through the boundless night, over ditches and mountains, and hurriedly headed west.
Although it was at night, in order to stay concealed, we could not hold up fire for lighting. We could only rely on our familiarity with the terrain and judgment of the direction to make our way.
Huang Yi rode a gray-white war horse, which was like a cloud of chaotic smoke at night, billowing in front and leading the way. The rest of the soldiers stared closely at Huang Yi's figure and ran forward.
Everything at night seems to be a little more weird than the hustle and bustle during the day. The swaying tree trunks and branches may seem normal under the sun, but at night, they look like monsters with teeth and claws.
.The shrubs are low-lying and can be seen clearly at a glance during the day, but at the moment, they are dark as if there are countless murderous intentions hidden...
Huang Yi controlled his body as much as possible on the horse, so that his body was neither completely attached to the horse's back nor too stiff. Although this posture was helpful in reducing the friction when the horse was galloping and rising,
It is also helpful to reduce wind resistance and speed up the war horse, but the only disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of physical strength.
After running for such a long time, Huang Yi's muscles were inevitably a little sore.
People who are not good at riding are not suitable for long-term galloping. Let’s not talk about whether they can control the horse, but the lack of strength in the waist and legs makes the crotch loose and unable to hold down the horse. It can only make the buttocks and thighs constantly
If it comes into contact with the hard leather saddle for a long time, not to mention blisters, it is possible to peel off a layer of skin, especially the inner thighs, which are the most delicate parts of the human body...
Therefore, when new cavalrymen have not trained their riding skills well, they will often see some unlucky guys, who will be covered in blood when they move, just like an aunt has arrived, grinning in pain, and it is so sour, no matter whether it is an old cavalryman.
Neither Lao Kang nor Lao Kang can compare.
Huang Yi's riding skills are pretty good, not even worse than those of the elite hussars, so this time he led the hussars to Fancheng to report the news. The riding skills of the hussars are certainly quite good,
But Nai He is not familiar with the terrain in this area of Jingzhou. Without a guide, I might not be able to reach the sky...
Huang Zhong captured Xiahou Yuan, but it did not mean that the crisis in Wancheng was resolved.
Huang Yi turned his head and looked back to the distance to the east. Originally, there was a river ditch there. Later, the river changed its course and the original ditch dried up. It should have been deserted and only grass, but now there are blazing torches, like a river.
It crawls like a fire dragon in the river ditch!
Obviously, the soldiers and horses in the dry ditch were not horsemen and horses, let alone friendly people who came with good intentions to promote freedom, equality and human rights.
Fortunately, Huang Yi discovered the anomaly early, and deliberately found a gap at night to bypass the ditch. Otherwise, if he accidentally ran into it, just relying on these horses and guns, it would not be enough to give someone a tooth.
Sewn? And it may not be able to be stuffed...
The hussars behind Huang Yi also knew that something was not going well, so they could only send one person back to report the news, and then pass through this area as much as possible to deliver the news back to the town army general Xu Huang!
Even though Huang Yi and others have walked a long way, they can still feel the huge pressure rolling in when they look back. Although most of the people in the river ditch are infantry, it is impossible not to have cavalry, and now they
It's not completely safe, let alone taking it lightly. Who knows what else may be lurking in the darkness in front of you?
The most worrying thing is that Huang Yi came in a hurry. It is impossible to determine where these Cao Jun's scouts are hiding or when they will encounter them! For any army, as long as the general's head is still intact,
Even if they are sober, they will send some elite soldiers to detect the surrounding area, alert, detect, and even kill the opponent's scouts. These are the biggest threats to Huang Yi and others.
After running for a while in the night, the fire dragon-like light gradually disappeared. Under the moonlight, there were slightly dark ridges in the distance, but they were the hills and mountains from Wancheng to Nanyang. Although these hills are not high, they are rolling.
, the terrain is complex, and without a guide who is familiar with the roads, you may easily get lost as soon as you enter.
Huang Yi half-crouched on the horse's back, feeling the warm breath of the war horse blowing on his face along with the wind. This period of galloping was very taxing on both men and horses. Huang Yi reached out and touched the neck of the war horse.
As soon as he felt the sweat on his hands, he immediately and gradually slowed down the speed of the war horse, allowing the war horse to regain some strength.
The undulating mountain shadows are already in front of us, and the tree shadows on the mountains are dense and longing. Although Nanyang was once the most prosperous county in the Han Dynasty, considering the population density of this era, there are still many areas that have been completely uninhabited for many years.
Heaven.
Huang Yi identified it, pointed to a mountain pass in front of him and said, "This is it! From here, as long as you enter the mountain, you will be safe..."
The hussars following behind said: "Okay, let's go up the mountain first, and then find a place to repair..."
Huang Yi nodded, bypassed the slope, entered the mountain pass, and then slowly stopped behind a rock sheltered from the wind. After all, after running for such a long time, even if the man did not groom the war horse, the war horse needed to be reorganized.
Put on the saddle, loosen the straps, and put some food on it.
Huang Yi jumped off the horse, and suddenly felt that his butt had become four pieces, and the roots of his thighs were aching. He could only walk with his legs crossed, while arranging his horse, he also tried his best to move his waist and legs.
blood.
Several other hussar soldiers first looked around and found nothing unusual. They also jumped off their horses, adjusted their saddles, and then joked with Huang Yi: "Captain Huang, your waist and legs... you can't do it..."
"What do you mean you can't do it?!" Huang Yi was immediately dissatisfied, "It's because I haven't practiced enough. You practice every day, can you be the same?"
One of the hussar commanders laughed and stopped his men's joking. He gave his men a moderate kick on the buttocks and drove him to take care of the horse. Then he stepped forward, looked around at the numerous mountain shadows, and said:
"This mountain is not high, but it looks like a lot..."
Huang Yi nodded and said: "Yes, if you take the official road, you have to walk along the Feishui River. First go to Feiyang, then go around Xinye, cross the rapids, and then you can reach Zhuyang Fancheng... Huang Xiaowei passed by before
When we were in Xinye, Cao Jun had no reaction, but now..."
Huang Yi did not continue, but everyone understood what he meant. When Huang Zhong rushed to Wancheng to aid, one of them was that he had a large number of cavalry, and there were no cavalry in Xinye. Even if he wanted to intercept Huang Zhong, he was still somewhat intentional.
Since they were powerless, they naturally crossed the border easily. However, Huang Yi and others were now a small team. It was impossible to cross the new wilderness like Huang Zhong did at that time without being intercepted and attacked.
The commander of the hussars also nodded, and then looked at the hills and said, "That's true. I wonder how many paths there are for marching in this mountain?"
Huang Yi smiled and said: "If you want to collect herbs and hunt, these mountains are not high and you can walk on them. But if you want to march and walk, I'm afraid there are not many paths..." After all, you need to go alone to collect herbs and hunt.
You can also replenish some supplies by picking along the way, but you must have a fixed and sufficient water source during the march, which is naturally not available wherever you go.
Huang Yi took two steps forward, then raised his hand, pointed into the distance, and said: "Starting from here, there is a road to the north, an unnamed stream, which can lead to Li County, and then the one we want to take is to the north."
West, from here...』
Before Huang Yi finished speaking, the Commander of the Cavalry suddenly changed his expression, reached out and pressed Huang Yi's arm, and then stared at the hills to the west.
On the hills, the shadows of the trees swayed slightly, like water plants sinking to the bottom of the water, rippling out some of the night.
"Be on guard!!" the commander of the hussars suddenly shouted, "pay attention to the war horses!"
The commander of the hussar turned his hand and immediately took the long bow that was slung in his hand, then took out an arrow from his back and aimed at the hills not far to the west...
Huang Yi was startled, and he quickly half-bowed up, drew out his sword, and concentrated on holding his breath.
At this time, two bright spots suddenly rose from the back of the hill, drawing a long parabola precariously, and fell in front of Huang Yi and others!
The commander of the cavalry opened his bow and fired angrily. One of the bright points was deflected onto the rock, and a lot of sparks were thrown out. The staggering became weaker, and then Huang Yi discovered that what he had just thrown out behind the hill were two torches.
!
There was only one arrow on the long bow of the hussar, and it was too late to get the arrow and shoot down the second torch, so I could only watch the second torch fall not far away.
The fire ignited some scattered hay on the ground nearby, and immediately illuminated the figures of Huang Yi and others. There was a loud noise in the air, and five or six feather arrows were shot with strong wind!
