Zhang Liao didn't expect that he would be recognized by these Taishan soldiers so quickly, but it didn't matter, even if they didn't recognize him, they wouldn't let him go.
He immediately raised his sword and urged his horse forward.
Hao Meng led his soldiers to rush towards the enemy soldiers. At this time, fear was useless and he could only fight to the death.
Sun Kang's military strength was mediocre, and he heard about Zhang Liao's bravery, so he knew himself and did not rush to the front. Instead, he let his soldiers rush forward and surround Zhang Liao.
Soon, Zhang Liao rushed into the Taishan soldiers on horseback, brandished his sword, and killed five or six people in a blink of an eye.
Although these Taishan soldiers harbored hatred for Zhang Liao and wanted to avenge Sun Guan, they had seen Zhang Liao's power and knew that this man would kill without mercy and would die too quickly if he got too close.
After Zhang Liao killed more than a dozen people, they did not dare to get too close.
Hao Meng led the troops to follow Zhang Liao. At this time, the soldiers from Sun Kang's camp had not yet arrived, and there were only about a thousand people blocking the enemy. Since Hao Meng and other soldiers dared to follow Zhang Liao and break out, they had already put life and death aside, so they could only fight with all their strength. Maybe
You can also break out.
When they fought hard, they were no weaker than the Taishan soldiers.
The main purpose of besieging the city with soldiers and horses is to block the access to the city and isolate the city from the outside world.
The road out of the city has been blocked by enemy soldiers, and it is impossible to break out of the encirclement through the right way.
Zhang Liao had already observed when he was in the city that there was a passage on the west side that could lead directly to the outside.
This passage is actually the separation between Sun Kang's barracks and the 3,000 Xuzhou barracks sent by Liu Bei.
But it would be too difficult to get through alone.
Because if a person breaks out of the city to break out of the siege, all the enemy soldiers will be attracted to surround him, and they will be intercepted several times, making it difficult to break through the siege.
If you bring hundreds of soldiers and horses, you will attract and disperse the enemy soldiers, so that there are not so many enemy soldiers surrounding you, making it easier to break out.
This is also the reason why Zhang Liao took Hao Meng to break out of the encirclement.
"Behead Zhang Liao and avenge Captain Sun!"
"Kill Zhang Liao!"
"..."
Taishan soldiers surrounded Zhang Liao and shouted.
Zhang Liao saw many more soldiers and horses rushing out of the camp. He knew that he could not fight for long, so he killed more than a dozen enemy soldiers, forced the Taishan soldiers to retreat a little more, and then rode his horse to kill westward.
For Zhang Liao, these Taishan soldiers hated and feared him. They wanted to kill him to avenge Sun Guan, but they were also intimidated by his power and did not dare to get too close. Many people just gathered around and shouted to support him.
Seeing this, Sun Kang hurriedly rode forward. Regardless of his own safety, he wanted to rush to the front and lead his soldiers to attack Zhang Liao.
However, Zhang Liao rode his horse to the west. If any soldiers approached, they would be cut down.
Hao Meng led his soldiers to follow closely. At this time, his 500 soldiers had lost more than 100 people.
The Taishan soldiers were afraid of Zhang Liao, but they were not afraid of Hao Meng, let alone those soldiers.
They dare not attack Zhang Liao, but they can attack Hao Meng and others.
Soon, Hao Meng was blocked by Taishan soldiers, making it impossible for him and Zhang Liao to see each other.
"Brothers, don't be afraid. Whoever kills Zhang Liao will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins."
Sun Kang saw Zhang Liao heading west, but he was blocked by soldiers and could not move forward. He shouted anxiously, hoping to use the bounty to encourage the soldiers' courage.
There must be a brave man under a heavy reward. One hundred gold means one hundred catties of gold, which is a lot. Sun Kang himself could not afford so much gold, but he believed that Zang Ba would pay the reward for it.
When the Taishan soldiers heard this, they were rewarded with a hundred gold, and they were furious with Zhang Liao. They immediately surrounded him and all raised their halberds and spears to stab Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao was secretly frightened and slashed with his sword with all his strength, killing more than a dozen enemy soldiers, but he was also stabbed with a spear.
Fortunately, he was protected by armor, and the spear was not very powerful. It only pierced the armor and injured the flesh, but did not penetrate too deeply.
He was so angry that he shouted violently, slashed the man who stabbed him to death with his backhand, and swung his sword again, causing two others to fall to the ground.
At this time, the Taishan soldiers who had come up retreated slightly.
He patted his horse and continued to fight westward. When he looked back at Hao Meng, he found that he was blocked thirty or forty steps away and had been heavily surrounded by enemy soldiers.
At this time, there were only one or two hundred soldiers and horses left with him. Some of them threw away their weapons and wanted to surrender to the enemy soldiers, but they were killed anyway.
Zhang Liao knew that it would be difficult for him to escape, and it was impossible to save Hao Meng now.
"Ah!" Zhang Liao cried out in pain and found that his leg had been hooked by a halberd and blood was flowing out.
He immediately raised his sword and swept away, knocking down the three men holding halberds. Then he slapped the horses and slashed left and right with his broadsword. He actually killed the enemies in front of them and sent them away, causing the horses to gallop.
"Wenyuan, save me!"
Zhang Liao heard someone shouting loudly behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Hao Meng covered in blood, and there were only a few dozen of his soldiers left.
In the distance, another group of soldiers and horses rushed from the east, and the leader was Zhang Fei, who stabbed Lu Bu.
Zhang Liao did not dare to stay, and now he could no longer care about Hao Meng, so he swung his sword again and headed west to kill.
Another battalion of 3,000 Xuzhou soldiers had already left the camp and stood in front of Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao took a few dozen steps to the west and saw that he was not far from the passage, but there were still so many soldiers and horses in front of him, which made him take a breath of cold air.
But we have already reached this point, no matter what, we must continue to fight with all our strength.
Gradually, he fought his way into the Xuzhou soldiers and thus got rid of the Taishan soldiers.
Compared with the Taishan soldiers in front of him, Zhang Liao felt that he could kill more easily at this moment.
These Xuzhou soldiers were different from those Taishan soldiers. They did not harbor any hatred of revenge against Zhang Liao.
The general who commanded these 3,000 Xuzhou soldiers was not a brave general. Although he ordered his soldiers to block the enemy soldiers, Zhang Liao killed them fiercely. He rushed into them and hacked them randomly, killing twenty or thirty more people in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Liao's face and armor were spattered with blood, and he had several wounds on his body. Fortunately, they were all minor injuries.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
He got the urge to kill, shouted angrily, raised his sword to slash left and right, and then fought dozens of steps further, cutting down dozens of people, and finally reached the entrance of the passage.
Zhang Liao's bravery frightened the Xuzhou soldiers and they all avoided him. No one dared to step forward to stop him.
At this time, Hao Meng had fallen to the ground and was stabbed by more than a dozen halberds and spears, and was completely dead.
None of his soldiers were left alive.
Zhang Fei arrived with his troops and asked urgently: "Where is Zhang Liao?"
Taishan soldiers pointed to the west.
Zhang Fei saw Zhang Liao who had entered the passage in front and shouted: "Stop Zhang Liao!"
Then he slapped his horse and chased Zhang Liao.
However, there were too many soldiers and horses in front of him, blocking his way. The horses ran forward very slowly. When he saw Zhang Liao disappearing after entering the passage, he couldn't help but shouted anxiously: "Get out of my way."
At this time, there was a chaos of soldiers and horses, and it was useless no matter how much he roared. Although the Taishan soldiers avoided them, they were too slow to avoid, and he moved forward too slowly.
Zhang Liao entered the passage and found that there were much fewer soldiers and horses in the passage than outside. Perhaps these enemy soldiers thought that they could not enter the passage here, so the defense was weak.
Although there were still some enemy soldiers blocking him in front, there were fewer people, his horses were running faster, and he was slashing with swords. When the enemy soldiers in front saw this, many people avoided it.
He fought his way through, with fewer and fewer soldiers in front, but more and more pursuers behind him.
Many people are like this. The enemy general is too brave and dare not block him in front, but he is too bold to pursue him from behind.
Those soldiers who had given way waited for Zhang Liao to run past, and then chased after him.
After all, they are also afraid of death and know how to save their lives.
Zhang Liao ran for who knows how long. There were no enemy soldiers in front of him, and no one dared to stop him.
Suddenly, he saw a wide view in front of him. He actually ran out of the enemy camp. There was a trail in front of him, but he didn't know where it led.
He didn't have time to think too much, he patted his horse and ran towards the trail, but behind him, there were still many soldiers and horses chasing him.
