Wang Shuang's voice mixed with joy rang out, and everyone in the courtyard had mixed reactions. Qin Tian and Zhang Xiu were naturally overjoyed. They had waited for more than a month and finally waited for this day. Although they were leisurely and contented here, they were all deep in their hearts.
People who can't sit still are naturally very excited when they hear this news.
Cai Yong sighed quietly, his expression a little complicated. Although he was almost killed by Wang Yun, after this incident, Wang Yun's death was too small, and the remaining power of the royal family would probably be lost. For him who had been loyal to the Han Dynasty all his life,
It's really hard to feel happy.
The sky was dark and the wind was whimpering, seeming to be dubbing this bloody scene.
On the tall city wall, the fighting continued. However, as a steady stream of Xiliang troops climbed onto the city wall, the originally evenly matched situation suddenly deteriorated. Although the temporarily organized militia was large in number, its combat power was really low.
On top of the city tower, blood continued to drip from the corpses, and gradually began to condense. The majestic city wall seemed to have turned into Shura Hell at this time. This was definitely not something that could be caused by one or two corpses.
Different shapes were lying on the corridors of the city wall, and different miserable conditions spread around.
Arms were cut off, bodies were pierced, and some were shot into the head by arrows. Blood and minced meat were mixed together, and they were trampled by countless people. The sound of fighting continued, but gradually, it became one-sided.
of massacre.
With the number of militiamen and the advantage of the city wall, there may be no problem in defending the city, but when the weapons are really at war, the weaknesses will be exposed.
Facing the ferocious wolf-like Xiliang army, they had only some simple weapons in their hands and were not even equipped with the simplest leather armor. They were completely turned into lambs to be slaughtered. Without the defense of the city wall, they also lost their ability to continue.
Most of them who had the courage to fight began to flee.
It's just that these days, the powerful Xiliang army has been blocked outside the city by a group of militiamen who have not been truly trained for more than a month, and even cost a lot of their lives. How can I swallow this breath? I have been holding it back in my heart.
With a sigh of relief, he now stormed the city. Facing the defeated militia, he showed no mercy at all and chased these poor lambs crazily, venting the frustration and resentment accumulated over the past month.
"My lord, hurry up, it's important to protect the Holy Emperor." Xu Huang protected Huangpu Song, his big ax left a trail of afterimages in the air, and he cut a bloody path through the crowd, protecting Huangpu Song, towards the inner city.
Escape, the outer city can no longer be defended, but there are still 60,000 elite soldiers in the inner city, and 15,000 imperial guards. If you insist on defending the inner city, you can still fight.
"Rebellious ministers and traitors will die a good death." Seeing the panic-stricken militiamen falling into a pool of blood one by one, and the Xiliang army in the rear still slaughtering mercilessly, Huangpu Song's face showed sadness and anger, and he let out a sad and angry roar,
But this roar was quickly drowned out by the Xiliang army's shouts of killing and the screams of the militiamen.
"Click, click, click," the rapid sound of horse hoofs sounded, and in the crowd, one person and one horse appeared in sight. Xu Huang looked at the coming person, and his heart sank. Each person struck with a knife, but the place he passed was like breaking waves. Xiliang
The soldiers will automatically give way to a path, and the militiamen will not be able to delay the opponent's footsteps at all.
"Thieves who have betrayed their master, why don't you come and die soon?" With a roar, Hua Xiong looked up to the sky and roared, the sword in his hand was very low, the wind chasing horse under his crotch was like thunder, and he instantly cut a bloody path in the crowd, looking at
Xu Huang and Huangpu Song came over to fight.
"General, stop hesitating and go quickly." Xu Huang struck the rump of Huangpu Song's horse with his axe, gave a sharp shout, and then galloped towards Hua Xiong without fear.
The ax drew a tragic arc in the air, facing Hua Xiong's broadsword.
"Qiang~"
There was a earth-shattering roar, swords and axes clashed, invisible energy fluctuations spread to all directions, and many militiamen were shocked to the point of bleeding to death.
The two men each grunted, and their horses took a few steps back. Hua Xiong glared and shouted angrily, and with a swing of his sword, he rushed forward to fight Xu Huang again. The clouds of swords were tumbling, and the shadows of axes were intertwined, making a harsh collision sound.
Hua Xiong's broadsword opened and closed with a whirling force. In the past, it was this whirling force that made him suffer when he fought with others. However, Xu Huang is not an easy person.
The ax technique also follows the path of wide opening and closing. Although it is not as domineering as Hua Xiong's sword technique, it still has a neutral and peaceful aura. They are both at the pinnacle of the second level. When they fight together, forty or fifty rounds pass in an instant.
, but there is no winner...
When Hua Xiong saw that Huangpu Song's figure had disappeared, he couldn't help shouting angrily. His sword skills became more and more fierce. Xu Huang seemed to be calm and controlled, but his hands were faintly numb from the force of the whirling force.
There were signs of defeat, and as the Xiliang army continued to pour in from the city gate, the surrounding militiamen were almost killed. When I glanced sideways, I saw that the Xiliang army was all around me. I couldn't help but be shocked. How could the masters fight with each other?
Thinking so much, Hua Xiong keenly captured this slight distraction, and his divine power exploded, violently shaking Xu Rong's ax away, and struck it down with a single blow.
Xu Huang was distracted for a moment, and when he saw the big knife coming, he quickly raised the big ax to block it.
"Qiang~"
With a loud noise, one party was caught off guard, but the other party suddenly attacked and made a judgment. Xu Huang was shaken back several steps, his hands were numb, and he almost lost consciousness. However, because of this, the distance between him and Hua Xiong was opened.
He did not dare to fight anymore, turned his horse's head, and flew away a Xiliang soldier who took the opportunity to rush up. Hua Xiong pursued him all the way to the inner city, only to be struck by a wave of arrows.
Shoot it down and have to go back.
After all, he was not the God of War, so he could not achieve the level of being shot through thousands of arrows. He stared hard at the people on the city, turned around and went back, leading his own soldiers to continue clearing away the remaining soldiers.
"How?" Li Ru and Xu Rong came with their troops to join Hua Xiong and asked, "Will Huangpu Song be killed?"
Regarding Huangpu Song, neither Li Ru nor Hua Xiong dared to take it lightly. In the past month, with a group of militiamen, they had been able to block millions of Xiliang elite soldiers. Although they had the advantage of the city, they also had the advantage of Xiliang.
The reason for the discord between the generals in the army, but even so, the millions of Xiliang troops were not a display after all, Huangpu Song insisted on defending for a month. Based on this alone, Xu Rong was not much inferior to Xu Rong in terms of military command.
"Let that guy run away," Hua Xiong said bitterly, "It's so shameful that Xu Gongming doesn't even remember the past friendship at all. It's really hateful."
In the hearts of most Xiliang generals, Dong Zhuo treated Xu Huang well and regarded Xu Huang as a member of his side. Therefore, Xu Huang's joining Wang Yun's command was, in a sense, a betrayal.
"My family and I were able to escape from danger entirely thanks to General Gongming. It is also a repayment of the great master's kindness. Now we are all in charge, so I can't blame him entirely." Li Ru shook his head and consoled him: "He ran away.
He ran away, and now the outer city has been occupied by our army. How can a mere inner city with less than 100,000 troops stop my million-strong army?"
"Hmph, next time I see him, I must let him know some of his methods." Hua Xiong said bitterly, and began to organize his troops somewhat glumly, preparing to launch another attack on the inner city.
"But I don't know what is happening to Marquis Wu now." Xu Rong sighed, quite worried about the situation of Qin Tian and others trapped in the city.
Hearing this, Li Ru and Hua Xiong also fell silent. After all, Qin Tian helped bring out their family members. Xu Rong was able to escape. In the final analysis, it was Qin Tian who helped him hold back Huangpu Song's pursuers. Only more than a month had passed.
, I really can’t guarantee whether Qin Tian is still alive.
"Wu Hou is also considered a famous general in the world. He may not be fine. He may be hiding somewhere in the city, or maybe in the inner city. If he is fine, he will contact us soon." After a while, Li Rucai sighed softly,
It's just that this sentence is really not very convincing.
"We must break through the inner city as soon as possible. If there is anything wrong with Qingtian, we must cut into pieces the whole family of that thief Wang Yun." Hua Xiong gritted his teeth and said. Among the three of them, he, Xu Rong and Qin Tian all had their fortunes told.
Friendship, his life was saved by Qin Tian from the battlefield. Now that Qin Tian is dead or alive, it is natural that this crime will be placed on Wang Yun's head.
"Don't be impulsive." Li Ru patted Hua Xiong on the shoulder. He didn't know what to say. However, capturing the inner city was not an easy task. The disparity in military strength was quite large. One million versus one hundred thousand.
Yes, but the problem is that there are many internal conflicts on the Xiliang Army side. Li Jue and Guo Si have many soldiers and have gradually taken over the dominant position. If you are cruel and invite them out to kill them, it may not be impossible.
But the consequences afterwards are somewhat unpredictable. The status of Hua Xiong and Xu Rong in the Xiliang army is naturally unknown, but at this time, let’s not say whether Li Jue and Guo Si will be fooled and accidentally make a wrong step.
The enemy may take advantage of this to divide the Xiliang army. Li Ru did not dare to take this risk, but if he did, he would have to face many problems, such as the exclusion of Li Jue and Guo Si.
There is no one who can discuss these words. Hua Xiong is brave, but he is too impulsive. Xu Rong is a handsome man, but he is also a pure soldier. I am afraid that there will be no result from the negotiation, so he will simply let it die in his stomach.
Well, the current situation is really not suitable for another incident.
With this idea, Li Ru began to plan for the next step. How to get Li Jue, Guo Si and others to agree to capture the inner city in one fell swoop is worth thinking about.
"General, military advisor, a general named Wang Shuang is outside asking for an audience with the token of General Conquering the South." A small colonel suddenly ran in from outside, holding a token in his hand, and presented it to the three of them.
"It is indeed the token of Marquis Wu." Xu Rong took the token, looked at it, and nodded.
"Wang Shuang, is this the new guy Qingtian recruited?" Hua Xiong still had some impression of Wang Shuang, so he nodded and said, "Let him in."
