War drums sounded rapidly all around, rolling across the ground like dull thunder. The huge three-party military formation under Wancheng City began to shake with the sound of the drums. At first glance, it seemed that the entire land of Nanyang was like a big giant.
A piece of sandwich, Wancheng is the egg yolk mixed in it, and then surrounded by Cao Jun's protein, plus the field soldiers brought by Ren Jun with the smell of wheat, and on the other side are Xu Huang's soldiers. Mixed in various
The red color flowing in the layers is like squeezed tomato sauce.
The shouts of killing shook the earth, and Cao Jun's soldiers rolled towards Wancheng like a tide.
The general attack begins.
The people above Wancheng are still counterattacking, but compared with before, the number of arrows is obviously much less. For Cao Jun who is coming like a tidal wave, it is nothing but a drop in the bucket and does not help at all.
Most of the time, we don’t know how much consumables we should prepare to be sufficient, such as arrows. After a battle, we may only use hundreds or thousands of them, or maybe like now, we have already used them.
Wancheng's inventory has been emptied out, especially not enough.
Wancheng has begun to reuse, and even dismantled some door panels and wood for production. However, these arrow feathers are not caught by random birds in the sky, so the current output cannot keep up with the consumption.
In addition, Cao Jun's thundercart outside the city was accompanied by the creaking sound of the winch, and then there was a roaring sound, and huge rocks rose into the sky. Some flew into the city, and some smashed into the city wall. If anyone tried to avoid it,
If not, then the next second the broken human body and the broken masonry fragments of the city wall will fly all over the sky.
Although Huang Zhong once seized the opportunity to counterattack and burned eight Thunderbolt vehicles in a position, as the city ran out of kerosene and other combat supplies, it was impossible to attack these ultra-long-range weapons.
Under the attack of the Thunderbolt Chariot, half of the gate tower on the front collapsed, and only half of the turret at the corner of the city wall collapsed.
Not only that, the rush car also approached the city gate surrounded by Cao Jun, and slammed into the city gate. Every impact caused a vibration that seemed to knock down the city wall. However, within a moment, it was knocked down.
The boiling water poured down from the top of the city, and the red-hot soldiers were writhing in pain like boiled shrimps in the mud and blood.
The ladders and cloud carts were pushed to the bottom of the city. In the blink of an eye, it was like countless passages were built leading to the top of the city. There were even more damage on the ground, with corpses and corpses piled up in various places under the city, as if they were contaminated.
Ketchup, crushed and broken French fries or potato lattice.
On the city wall of Wancheng, there are rubbles and bricks everywhere that were hit by thunderbolt carts and stone bullets. The ground is full of rubble, broken arrows, wood, broken weapons and armors, and corpses scattered everywhere, many of them stained with blood.
The hands and feet stretched out from under the beams of the collapsed gate tower, revealing yellow-white broken bones and residual tendons, like braised chicken feet that had been chewed by a child but could not be eaten clean.
"If you dare to retreat from the battle, you will be killed without mercy!"
Dian Wei's voice resounded all around, and some of the defeated Cao soldiers were not killed by the counterattack of the defenders. Instead, their heads were chopped off by the supervising team, and their heads were piled bloody in front of the formation.
Up to now, the fierce offensive and defensive battle has been going on for several hours. Although Cao Jun has maintained a sharp offensive, the defenders of Wancheng are also very tenacious.
Death and injury were a mess.
While Wancheng was under tremendous pressure, Xu Huang was also leading his men and horses to attack Cao Cao's line. The soldiers of both sides were squeezed together, with countless swords and guns at the same time.
Xu Huang's giant ax rolled down and smashed the three spears that were coming towards him, including the spears and the men. The broken spear heads flew into the air along with Cao Jun's skull, and blood and brains splattered everywhere.
Yes, it was like a plate of mapo tofu that had been spilled, red and white, stained all over the body and the ground. No matter how hard I picked it up, I couldn't put it away.
Cao's army had just broken through the first level of the formation, and five or six spears were all heading towards Xu Huang, all stabbing him. Xu Huang's giant ax swayed, lifting it as lightly as he could, holding a spear in front of him, and then swung it to the left.
, he immediately used this spear to knock away the other spears that were stabbing him. Then he took a step further and the giant ax whizzed down. Amidst the screams, two heads and seven or eight arms rolled down to the ground covered in blood.
On the ground.
Xu Huang lowered his head and dodged the attack that stabbed his face. Before the giant ax had time to turn around, he raised his leg and kicked the Cao soldier hard. The Cao soldiers wailed and jumped out to the other side, and immediately and behind them
Several enemies collided with each other and got into a mess, but because the movement of raising his legs was a little too big, Xu Huang was also slashed by an unknown weapon. Although he was not directly slashed, he was hit from a distance.
Wearing the armor, he still felt a dull pain, and he snorted coldly, and the giant ax immediately circled up. The Cao Jun soldier who was still excited because he hit Xu Huang suddenly turned into pieces of hot blood and meat flying in the air!
Cao Cao's army was too dense. Xu Huang cut a bloody path from the middle and advanced towards Cao Cao's banner step by step. Every time he took a step forward, blood and flesh flew everywhere.
One of Cao's soldiers rushed forward with a howl, and grabbed the inner ring of Xu Huang's giant axe. Before he could raise his sword to stab Xu Huang, Xu Huang stretched out his iron-gauntleted fist and punched him in the face.
Above him, the howl suddenly turned into a muffled groan, then he fell down, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a wail of being trampled on.
There was another Cao soldier in front who refused to let go and stabbed him with his spear. Xu Huang slashed him vertically with his axe, cutting him straight from the left shoulder and neck to the right side of the abdomen. The colorful internal organs looked like duck intestines that had not been cleaned.
, accidentally dropped the plate and intestines into the red hot pot with a pop, splattering a lot of blood and staining everything.
The giant ax rolled, stumping limbs, broken arms, and heads wherever it hit, and splattered blood suddenly spurted out to both sides. However, the further they went inward, the denser the Cao army's soldiers became. The more elite they were, the stronger their resistance was. Although Xu
Akira was extremely brave, and he was wearing heavy armor, but he was hit by swords, spears and halberds from time to time. Even with armor protection, he was hit hard and painful, not to mention the stinging pain from some weak spots.
…
After all, no matter how heavy the armor is, it has not reached the level of iron cans in later generations. In order to ensure a certain degree of mobility, the joints of the limbs are always made of leather armor, with some gaps. In addition, under the dripping blood, the line of sight is not clear.
He was also covered, and it was impossible to have enough space to move around in the crowd, so Xu Huang began to have some injuries. Although they were minor injuries, if they continued to accumulate, sooner or later he would encounter an overwhelming injury.
A straw.
Figures kept passing in front of Xu Huang's eyes, and Cao's army panicked, wailed, died, and fled under the attack of the heavy ax soldiers.
There seemed to be new wounds on his body, but Xu Huang no longer felt pain. He could only swing the ax, and then swing the ax again. Blood sprayed in front of his eyes, the wreckage fell, and all the colors were lost in front of his eyes, leaving only
A piece of blood red.
Suddenly his eyes were empty, and Xu Huang broke away from the repeated battle. Although the heavy battle ax was an indestructible weapon, it also brought huge physical exertion. Xu Huang panted violently, as if even his breath was stained with blood.
Blood flowed down the arm and covered the hand, which was slippery and sticky. If the hemp rope had not been wrapped around the long handle of the battle ax earlier, it would have been difficult to hold it now.
Under the dim sky, the thick Cao army formation has been penetrated. Behind Xu Huang, there is a large dark red swamp, which seems to extend endlessly in all directions, as if there are black and white impermanent bull heads and horse faces in the sky chewing according to the case.
, countless mutilated limbs, broken heads and broken weapons were scattered in all directions.
At this moment, Xu Huang is like the incarnation of death, the messenger of hell...
Then, heavy footsteps fell, and heavy breathing sounded behind Xu Huang. A heavy ax soldier who followed Xu Huang's heavy attack on Cao's line stood behind Xu Huang. The heavy ax fell on the ground, and the stained blood, flesh and bone residue fell from the battle axe.
The surface slipped, and the strong smell of blood spread everywhere.
Then second place, third place...
Cao Cao still stood motionless, but his cheeks couldn't help but twitch.
Of course, Cao Cao's performance was quite good. Some civil servants standing behind Cao Cao saw the power of Xu Huang's heavy ax soldiers at this moment. Not only their cheeks were twitching, but even their calves became weak. If they hadn't been holding on to the fence on the side,
The flagpole was probably lying on the ground.
Three thousand people!
Three thousand Qingzhou soldiers could not stop these three hundred heavy ax soldiers!
Well, naturally it's not like the three thousand Qingzhou soldiers were lying on the ground and turned into corpses, and then Xu Huang's three hundred heavy ax soldiers stood proudly. After all, it's not like there was only one bloody skin left that could still be loaded with bullets and the sight wouldn't waver.
After all, this was the only point of contact. Many Qingzhou soldiers were still on the outside. Not all of them were dead. They were just frightened by the bloody path that Xu Huang and others created.
After Xu Huang and others broke the formation, the following soldiers also moved up, so strictly speaking it was not three hundred versus three thousand, but Xu Huang and others acted as the vanguard to cut through the defensive position set up by Cao Cao.
Xu Huang looked up at Cao Cao, and Cao Cao looked down at Xu Huang.
I don’t know if it’s because Cao Cao himself feels that his height is a problem, so Cao Cao likes to stand at high places. The top of the mountain is also closer to the sun. But if you are closer to the sun, you will either get hot or roasted.
Got dizzy.
Cao Cao originally thought that even if his Qingzhou soldiers could not completely block Xu Huang, they could at least maintain the stability of the front for a day or two. However, what he did not expect was that Xu Huang did not use his strength before, but once he did, it turned out to be
So sharp...
"hahahahahahahahahaha……"
Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed.
Cao Cao suddenly burst into laughter and seemed very happy.
"Why is my lord laughing?"
Apart from anything else, counselors and civil servants, although they cannot go into battle to kill the enemy, they can still fulfill their duties for fun. After all, at this moment, all these people can do is follow Cao Cao closely.
Cao Cao wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, but his smile remained the same, "Hahaha, it's a pity that the general of the army has only shown his true ability now. If he had used it earlier... Hahaha, does he still have a chance to stand here?
?』
"Huh?" Dong Zhao and others looked at each other, really not knowing how to answer this question.
Can this also be a reason for Cao Cao to be happy?
Cao Xiu didn't laugh. He couldn't laugh either. As the military commander closest to Cao Cao, now it was his turn to block Xu Huang's progress, and whether he could block it...
Cao Xiu didn't know.
Cao Xiu adjusted his helmet and armor, then bowed in front of Cao Cao, "My lord...nephew, I am going this way..."
Cao Cao's eyes fell on Cao Xiu, paused for a moment, and then slid away, "Well..."
Cao Xiu retreated to the halfway point of the mound, raised the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Form up! The sword and shield men are in front! The archers are ready!"
Xu Huang was also laughing. The reason why Xu Huang was laughing was that Cao Cao didn't seize their weakest moment to attack. Now, it's too late. Don't look at Xu Huang and the heavy ax soldiers behind him who were all impressive, but in fact they were all
He was as tired as a dog and could barely stick out his tongue. However, everyone in Cao's army was obviously frightened and failed to seize this opportunity...
Xu Huang fought hard for a while, he had to regain some energy, but he couldn't hit the ax directly on the ground like other heavy ax soldiers, and he had to maintain the majesty of a general, so of course he needed time to adjust his breath. Now after
After a period of adjustment, Xu Huang's breath gradually became even. Although there was still some stinging pain from the wound on his body, and there was still some slight soreness and numbness in his waist and legs, he had returned to his original seven or eight points, which was suitable for the next battle.
, which is considered enough.
Seeing Cao Xiu and other Cao Cao's guards arrayed on the slope, with long spears, large shields, and archers at the back, Xu Huang shook the battle ax and then wiped the debris on the long handle of the battle ax.
, although Cao Cao's last layer of guards obviously looked better equipped and more elite than the average Cao army, Xu Huang still had no fear at all.
In terms of equipment, who else in the world can compare with Hussar?
Similar to Xu Huang's current heavy ax soldiers, there are only two in the world, one is in Fei Qiang, commanded by Wei Du, and the other is Xu Huang's own private army, both of which were taught by Xu Huang.
Naturally, we understand the power of it.
Unless heavy weapons are also used, such as maces, heavy flails, maces and other weapons, it is possible to directly cause damage to heavy ax soldiers, otherwise ordinary swords, guns and arrows will be difficult to break through the defense.
However, compared with the heavy shield and short halberd soldiers that Gao Shun left behind, which are suitable for both offense and defense and have basically no shortcomings, the strength of the heavy ax soldiers lies in attacking fortifications, and their shortcomings also lie in attacking fortifications - in order to have more permanent destructive power.
The battle ax is chosen, which brings more physical consumption and combat endurance decay, so it is not as useful as those with heavy shields and short halberds in protracted battles.
Of course, the most sharp attack direction is the heavy-armored Mo Dao soldier. However, due to the raw materials, the wear rate of the Mo Dao in the Han Dynasty was too high. After a battle, the Mo Dao basically needs to be re-polished. Otherwise, it will
It's like an iron rod...not like a heavy axe. Even if the blade is not sharp, it can crush someone to death with its weight.
As the follow-up infantry advanced, the returning Qingzhou soldiers were blocked. In front of Xu Huang, only Cao Xiu's first layer of defense was left in front of him. Behind this layer of defense was the top of the hill.
Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was still smiling and even gently stroking his long beard, as if he didn't care about Xu Huang who was not far away at all.
Behind Cao Cao, Dong Zhao's complexion was somewhat pale. He had his hands in his sleeves and gritted his teeth as he stood behind Cao Cao, motionless.
Cao Xiu roared with all his strength, the veins on his neck showing clearly, as if he was using this to boost the morale of the surrounding soldiers and also to cheer himself up.
The soldiers of the guard camp of Cao Cao's army responded loudly, banging their shields, and their spears and arrows shone with cold light.
Xu Huang quietly raised the tomahawk, and then the heavy ax soldiers behind him also raised the tomahawk again one after another!
A few drops of blood that had not yet solidified gathered together along the slope of the battle axe, and then turned into larger blood beads, flowing downward...
At this moment, a trumpet sound suddenly pierced the sky above the battlefield!
Everyone in the battlefield suddenly looked for the sound, only to find that at some point, a large amount of smoke and dust rose up in the south direction of the Wancheng battlefield, obviously there were soldiers and horses approaching!
It's the cavalry!
Xu Huang's face darkened, but Cao Cao's brows raised!
The trumpet sounds to the south!
Although the hussars and horses also use horns, there are no cavalry in the south. The only possible ones are Xinye and Cao Hong!
Xu Huang shouted: "Send an order from a certain general! Let Lieutenant Liu quickly lead the cavalry to intercept!" Several soldiers who sent the order immediately turned around and left. Damn it, the sentry left in Xinye did not sound the alarm, or it was concealed.
, or he was killed, and looking at such a huge momentum, it is obvious that the possibility of the latter is higher...
Cao Cao exhaled a long breath, and his face was completely opposite to the counselors and clerks who were beaming, yelling, and jumping around. Instead, he showed some nervous expressions and stared at the hill.
Xu Huang...
The trumpet sound representing advancement and charge became louder and louder, and the flags in the distance gradually became clearer. The high banner with the word "Cao" undoubtedly marked the identity of the army. The sound of horse hooves also gradually increased from sparse to dense, like beatings.
In the hearts of everyone on the Wancheng battlefield.
Everyone in Cao's army cheered, but Xu Huang raised his battle ax and said, "Follow me! Kill Cao's thief!"
"Sword and shield men come forward!" Cao Xiu shouted, "The long grab is in the center! Archers are ready!"
Then almost at the same time as Xu Huang, he shouted the same word:
"kill!"
In the roar, the iron and blood collided together again!
"Hey..." On the hill, Cao Cao looked at the fierce fighting on the hillside and let out a long sigh without a smile on his face. "Sure enough..."
"Lord!" The counselor and civil servant who had been immersed in the joy of the arrival of reinforcements now realized that Xu Huang did not retreat but came up to kill him, "Why...why doesn't this thief general retreat?"
"Haha..." Cao Cao twitched the corner of his mouth, "I want to kill someone before Zi Lian arrives..."
It will definitely take some time for Cao Hong to rush to the battlefield, defeat the cavalry under Xu Huang, and then rush to Cao Cao's banner, and this period of time will determine life or death!
If Cao Hong arrives first, Cao Cao will survive and Xu Huang will be defeated. If Cao Hong cannot catch up, then once Cao Cao dies, even if Cao Hong brings a large number of soldiers, the morale of the army will be shaken and it will be difficult to recover.
"General Zi Lian will definitely be able to make it in time!"
"Yes, yes, definitely..."
"Anmin Sima will definitely be able to stop it!"
"Yes, yes, definitely..."
Chirping, chirping, the civil servants with blue, white, and red faces were talking to each other. Only Dong Zhao remained silent, and then his eyes met with Cao Cao's, and he turned away silently, looking at the place in front of him where the flesh and blood was gushing...
