There were constant shouts and shouts all around. Zhao Yun and Chu Yan took the lead, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. When they saw the cavalry stepping up from the collapsed city wall, they slashed fiercely. In just a short while, the ruined city wall was full of people.
They were the limbs of humans and animals, and the blood was spread all over the raised earth wall.
The whole city was surrounded by the Xianbei people. Although the soldiers in the city thought of escaping, they suddenly thought that going out would lead to death. So they simply broke the jars and smashed them, and hid in the city and fought with the Xianbei people to death, as long as they were not crossed by the Xianbei people.
When the city wall collapsed, they had hope of survival.
At this time, the crossbowmen really showed their power. The collapsed city walls gave them a broad field of vision. Many people no longer had to crowd on the small towers, hide behind the houses, or climb on the roofs to see
When a cavalryman climbed over the city wall, he fired an arrow.
Although the city wall collapsed, it was not necessarily a bad thing for the Han soldiers in the city. The collapsed city wall turned into a raised earth beam, which still blocked the Xianbei cavalry from entering the city.
, it was necessary to cross this earth beam, but whenever the Xianbei cavalry rushed up, they were either shot by arrows or hacked to death by sword and shield soldiers ambushing under the earth beam, which greatly hindered the Xianbei people.
attack speed.
Chu Yan threw away his shield and held the two swords in his hands. Whenever he saw a cavalry appearing on the earth beam, he raised the two swords in his hands and slashed violently, either cutting off the horse's legs or hacking to death the cavalry on the horse, drawing blood.
It had already stained his whole body, making him a real bloody man, and his body was full of fishy stench.
Zhao Yun and other sword and shield soldiers also fought bravely. This earth beam became their protective wall, which was even more effective than the original city wall. Everyone regained their confidence because of this earth beam, and they had great confidence in the Xianbei people.
The fear gradually faded away.
The Xianbei people attacked twice in succession, and each time they paid a heavy price. The more than 3,000 cavalrymen who rushed up to Tuliang were instantly wiped out, but the number of Han soldiers they killed was only a few hundred.
Zhao Yun raised his sword and hacked to death the last cavalryman who came up in the second wave. His ferocious face was covered with blood. He looked around and looked at the bloody soldiers around him. He smiled knowingly. Unexpectedly, this time it was a blessing in disguise.
.He originally thought that the Xianbei people would launch a fierce attack after the city wall was knocked down, but now it seems that the Xianbei people made a mistake.
"Chu Yan! Are you not injured?" Zhao Yun asked hurriedly when he saw Chu Yan's body was covered in blood, her face was ferocious, and the knife in her hand was cut.
Chu Yan shook his head vigorously and threw the cutting knife aside. He picked up two scimitars from the corpses of the Xianbei people that rolled down the earth beam and waved them vigorously. He felt that he had taken advantage of them.
, then smiled and said to Zhao Yun: "Don't worry, these people can't kill me yet!"
Zhao Yun smiled and shouted to the soldiers at the back: "While the Xianbei people are not attacking at this moment, quickly carry all the brothers who died in the battle to the back. The injured ones also retreated for treatment. I will make up for the ones behind. Xianbei
There is nothing to fear from people, as long as we are no longer timid, they will not be able to do anything to us!"
After giving the order, the soldiers carried away the dead soldiers, and the injured also retreated. In exchange for a group of soldiers with a hint of excitement on their faces, some held up spears, some held halberds, and some
With a long sword across his side, he is no longer a single sword and shield soldier.
When Zhao Yun saw that the soldiers who had been depressed came up again, he shouted loudly: "Everyone..."
He was only halfway through speaking, but he saw dense sparks shooting from the dim sky. Countless arrows carrying sparks crossed the earth beam from the sky and landed in the city one after another. Some soldiers did not pay attention, but were instead
These rockets killed him. Suddenly, the roofs and streets were covered with rockets.
"Oops, the Xianbei people want to use fire to attack! Quick... spread out quickly to put out those sparks. We must not let the city catch fire, otherwise it will be extremely detrimental to us." Zhao Yun saw this scene and immediately reacted.
He shouted loudly, "Chu Yan, you and your people will guard this place, and I will lead my people to put out the fire!"
"promise!"
Zhao Yun held up his shield, risking being hit by fire arrows, and hurriedly ran to the back, and immediately ordered three to five hundred people to go everywhere to put out the sparks fired by the Xianbei people.
However, there were too many flammable materials accumulated in some places. Once they caught sparks, they immediately burned. Several houses in the city were already on fire, and the people in the houses ran out of the houses to put out the fires on their own.
The dark clouds in the sky are gathering more and more, and the clouds are getting lower and lower, shrouding the entire sky and making the surroundings dark. But the Xianbei people's rockets are still shooting in from the outside of the soil beam.
The south gate and north gate were suddenly ablaze, and the people in the city were in chaos.
Zhao Yun personally directed the soldiers to put out the fire at the North Gate. When the situation stabilized a little, he asked Yu Du to take over his command and ran quickly to the South Gate to see what was going on there. As he shuttled through the city,
At the same time, he shouted loudly to the panicked people: "Go to the county government office, everyone go to the county government office. The young and strong people go to put out the fire. Don't panic, we will be fine!"
After hearing Zhao Yun's command, the people immediately divided into two columns. The elderly and children ran towards the county government office. The young men and young women began to use tools to put out the fires in various parts of the city. Rockets were no longer just coming from the north and south.
The door was shot in, and rockets flew into the city from the east and west sides one after another, burning many houses in the city. The small Wangping City was suddenly ablaze, which was particularly eye-catching in the dim sky and earth.
After finally arriving at the south gate, there were shouts of killing from the south gate. Bian Xi led the crossbowmen and fired arrows non-stop on both sides of the street. Guan Hai in front led his people to block the earth beam and was fighting a bloody battle with the Xianbei cavalry.
The cavalry has also broken through a small opening, and more than 20 cavalry have already rushed through the soil beam.
Zhao Yun was glad that he arrived in time. He immediately grabbed two of the military princes and said loudly: "You two each lead 500 people to put out the fire. The rest of the people follow me. We must repel the Xianbei people. We must not let them go."
They're coming to town!"
"promise!"
After giving the order, Zhao Yun took up his sword and shield and rushed forward with more than a thousand people. He rushed towards the opening breached by the Xianbei cavalry to support him. He raised the sword in his hand and slashed at the Xianbei cavalry in random and continuous cuts.
After overturning a few cavalry, the Xianbei people were firmly suppressed and could no longer advance even half a step. The other soldiers pulled the Xianbei cavalry off their horses one after another, raised their knives, and slashed with their spears.
The stabbing blocked the Xianbei cavalry back again.
"Guan Hai! Are you okay?" Zhao Yun jumped up and killed a Xianbei cavalryman with a knife. He hurried to Guan Hai's side, glanced at the panting Guan Hai, and asked loudly.
"It's okay!" Guan Hai replied coldly, but he kept slashing forward with the knife in his hand. He hit the head of a Xianbei man with one blow and raised his foot to kick the Xianbei man.
After flying away, he picked up a scimitar from the ground and continued to kill another Xianbei cavalry.
Zhao Yun saw that Guan Hai's left arm had been cut with a long gash, and the flesh was bleeding out with bright red blood, and there was an arrow with a broken arrow stuck in his chest. He immediately shouted
Said: "Are you injured? Go to the county government office to treat your injury. I'll hold on here!"
Guan Hai suddenly became furious, waving the scimitar in his hand and roaring: "It's okay if I say it's okay! It's just a small injury, nothing serious."
Seeing that Guan Hai was unwilling to leave the battlefield, Zhao Yun immediately said: "Since Chu Yan is here at the north gate, nothing will happen. I will block it for you here. You go to the county government office to treat your injuries quickly. Don't act out of emotion!"
"No! I'm fine! If you keep nagging me, I will really die for you!" Guan Hai chopped down a Xianbei cavalryman with a knife, with a cold look in his eyes, and shouted at Zhao Yun,
"Pei Yuanshao is dead, how do you want me to explain to Zhou Cang? If I don't kill these bastard Xianbei people, I won't be able to face Zhou Cang in the future."
Zhao Yun stopped talking and only raised the sword in his hand to slash at the Xianbei cavalry who rushed up one after another, with great resentment in his heart.
After about ten minutes of killing, the Xianbei people stopped attacking, which allowed Guan Hai, Zhao Yun and the soldiers at the south gate to breathe a sigh of relief.
Bian Xi ran over from behind and came to Guan Hai's side. Seeing that Guan Hai had suffered two injuries, he wanted to persuade him to go back for treatment, but stopped when he saw Guan Hai's angry eyes. He twisted
He looked at Zhao Yun and asked softly: "It's been an hour. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on until tomorrow morning. We have to think of a way."
Zhao Yun said solemnly: "Wait! I believe that the lord will definitely come with a large number of reinforcements. Even if we hold on until the last moment, we must not retreat. We have no way to retreat and cannot withstand the Xianbei people's attack this time.
If we attack, the whole of Liaodong will be devastated. We have finally found a place to settle down, and we must not let those Xianbei people invade our families."
Bian Xi nodded, turned to look at the fire behind him, and saw that the fire had become fainter, as if the fire had been controlled. He immediately sat next to Guan Hai, and when Guan Hai wasn't paying attention, he stretched out his hand and gave it a palm
, knocked Guan Hai unconscious, and at the same time shouted to several soldiers around him: "Quick, take Captain Guan to the county government office to treat his injuries!"
Zhao Yun stretched out his arms, hugged Bian Xi in his arms, and said with a smile: "We will follow the Lord through life and death. Even if we die this time, we will die together. We have been brothers for so long."
Bian Xi laughed and said: "Bah, bah, bah! Why not die? I haven't thought about death yet. The lord will definitely come. These Xianbei people are the ones who really deserve to die!"
"Hahaha, that's right. Now it's up to you and me to hold on here. We want the Xianbei people to have a taste of our power!" Zhao Yun also laughed.
When the other soldiers heard the conversation between Zhao Yun and Bian Xi, they all decided to die, and they firmly believed that their lord would definitely come.
The whimpering horn sounded again, the sound of galloping horse hooves could be heard outside Tuliang, and the Xianbei people launched an attack again...
