The extremely rhythmic sound of war drums sounded again.
The sound of the war drums instantly suppressed the cries of killing in the night. The drums sounded like thunder, and as the sound rang out, an army suddenly appeared on the official road outside Longguan.
The leader is clearly Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong held a long sword in his hand, rode his horse and charged out, saying: "My sons, your meritorious service is today, kill!"
All the soldiers under his command also fought out. Beyond Longguan, there was also a very long gorge road. Huang Zhong led his soldiers to fight out, blocking the road on the official road and blocking Maodun's retreat.
It was too late, but it was too soon. In the blink of an eye, Huang Zhong was already fighting with the army under Mao Dun. He raised his knife and lowered it, and the blade passed by, killing the Huns soldiers in front.
When Mao Dun saw this formation, his heart sank.
The way back has been cut off.
If he wants to retreat, he must break forward.
To break through the encirclement, you must kill the people blocking the road ahead. Only by killing Huang Zhong can Mao Dun defeat the people blocking the road. Otherwise, Mao Dun will not be able to succeed.
Mao Dun tightened his grip on the scimitar at his waist and rushed towards Huang Zhong without dodge.
He wants to kill Huang Zhong.
Then, break out forcefully.
Mao Dun's martial arts was also very strong. He galloped on his horse, and in a blink of an eye, he was in front of Huang Zhong. He saw Mao Dun swinging his sword and slashed him down.
The blade fell, splitting the air, and there was a harsh sound of breaking through the air.
"kill!"
Mao Dun yelled.
This blow has already absorbed all of Maodun's energy and energy.
One sword is the pinnacle of Maodun.
Huang Zhong refused to dodge. He clamped the horse's belly with his legs, held the handle of the knife with both hands, swung the long knife and faced it. Huang Zhong has become younger now. At a glance, he seems to be in his forties.
A man in his prime who is about 10 years old. His martial arts skills now are already more powerful than those at his peak. He faced him with a sword and moved forward with the long sword, his momentum was extremely powerful.
"clang!!"
The weapons collided, making a harsh crashing sound.
The next moment, the scimitar in Mao Dun's hand was knocked out.
Huang Zhong sat astride the horse and was not affected at all.
Huang Zhong's expression remained unchanged, the blade continued to move forward, and he slashed down in the air with one stroke. When the blade fell, it had the aura of killing Mao Dun. When Mao Dun saw the blade falling, he was so frightened that he quickly turned sideways to avoid it.
His entire body was hanging on the side of the war horse. Just when he was hanging like this, the blade had already fallen.
"Bah!"
The sharp blade struck the horse's back.
With one strike of the knife, blood spurted out, and the war horse was cut into two halves. The corpses on both sides fell to the ground, and blood splattered all over the ground.
After the war horse fell, Maodun also fell to the ground.
At this moment, Maodun was extremely shocked.
How can it be?
Why did such a great master appear under Wang Can's command?
As the lord of Liangzhou, Maodun controlled the Xiongnu tribes in Liangzhou, as well as the Qiang and other tribes in Liangzhou. His own martial arts was already extremely strong, and he also had some knowledge of the situation in Shu.
Guo Dianwei, Xu Chu and others are great masters, and they also know that Huang Zhong is a great master. But the man in front of him who is about forty years old, he can't get along with Huang Zhong, and Dian Wei and others are usually in Wang Can
It is impossible for someone to come to Chencang County.
Mao Dun was confused, but he didn't dare to delay. When the carp jumped up, he immediately stood up and tried to avoid it.
When Huang Zhong saw Mao Dun standing up to run away, he did not ride his horse to chase him. Instead, he put away his long sword and stood in front of him. He took out his long bow smoothly, then stretched out his hand and saw an arrow on the bow string.
superior.
"middle!"
Huang Zhong gave a low drink.
The next moment, the bowstring vibrated, and the bow and arrow were taken off the string.
I saw the bow and arrow flying out at an extremely fast speed, arriving in front of Mao Dun in an instant.
The direction of the bow and arrow's shooting was not Modu's back and heart, but the thigh of his lower left leg. With a squeaking sound, the bow and arrow immediately pierced Modu's left thigh, and then penetrated the entire leg.
Modun was hit by an arrow in the thigh and screamed in pain. His running body stopped for an instant. Modun knew he could not stop, so he gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his thigh, and continued to move forward.
"Puch!"
Suddenly, the sound of bows and arrows piercing flesh was heard again.
Maodun felt a heart-piercing pain in his right leg again. The arrow not only penetrated his leg, but also pierced the leg bone. Such bone-chilling pain seemed to be heart-wrenching and extremely uncomfortable.
Maodun yelled, trying to grit his teeth to hold back.
However, he was hit by arrows in both legs and suffered heartbreaking pain, making it difficult for him to hold on.
"thump!"
Maodun's body suddenly fell forward and fell to the ground.
At this moment, Maodun's face was full of ferocious pain, and he couldn't bear it anymore. After he fell to the ground, the next moment, Huang Zhong had already chased him on horseback, swung his long knife, and hit him hard with the back of the knife.
Maodun's back.
After one blow, Mao suddenly vomited blood and fainted.
"Someone, take down Maodun."
Huang Zhong gave the order, and his soldiers stepped forward to tie up Mao Dun.
When Mao Dun was captured, all the Huns panicked. After seeing Mao Dun being captured, all the Huns were unwilling to fight. Especially Gan Ning had led his soldiers to fight from the rear. The two armies were attacking, and the Huns soldiers could no longer fight.
support.
"I surrender, don't kill me!"
Some of the Hun cavalry dismounted, knelt down and surrendered.
They were all afraid of being killed.
If they were on the grassland, they could run away at will and break out in any direction.
However, it doesn't work here.
The place was blocked in front and back, and there were mountains and rocks on both sides. Even if they wanted to break out, they couldn't find a place. When Mao Dun was captured, they had no choice but to surrender.
"I surrender!"
"I am willing to surrender, don't kill me!"
…
One by one, the Huns cavalry surrendered.
The situation on the entire battlefield suddenly began to change completely. The Huns surrendered in a large scale, and even those who persisted to the end were all killed.
Under the joint attack of Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, the war ended quickly.
After the war is over, the battlefield is cleaned.
In this battle, Cao Cao's soldiers did not suffer much loss. After all, his soldiers were in ambush. Even in a head-on confrontation, they would charge with spear formations. The biggest losses were caused by Mao Dun's troops, only the Xiongnu.
Talent is the one who loses the most.
After the battle was cleared, Huang Zhong returned to the tower to report the results.
Huang Zhong said: "Mr. Cao, we lost less than a thousand soldiers in this battle, but we killed nearly six or seven thousand Xiongnu soldiers, and the remaining Huns trampled each other to death, countless. This battle
, we won, it can be said to be a great victory.”
Cao Cao smiled and said: "It is indeed a great victory, but winning this battle is only the beginning of the attack on Liangzhou. Next, we still have too many things to do."
Huang Zhong said: "Now that Maodun has been defeated, should we take advantage of the situation to attack Liangzhou, or should we stay where we are to rest and wait for His Majesty's army?"
After Maodun was captured, Liangzhou was left without a leader. Under such a situation, it was not difficult to attack Liangzhou. Huang Zhong's suggestion was also feasible.
Gan Ning looked excited and continued: "I suggest attacking Liangzhou immediately. As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. We now have an advantage. Taking Liangzhou will be a piece of cake."
Regarding the upcoming war, Gan Ning thought it would not be complicated.
After all, Maodun was captured.
Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "We captured Mao Dun alive and have a great advantage. It is not difficult to capture Liangzhou. It's just that under the current circumstances, I don't know how your Majesty will deal with Mao Dun. Moreover, Your Majesty has already
We will meet Zhao Yun. It is expected that His Majesty will lead the army to Longguan soon. We will meet up with His Majesty and discuss the matter of sending troops."
Huang Zhong heard this and said, "I will obey Duke Cao's words."
After Gan Ning heard this, he felt a little unwilling, but he still said: "Since Mr. Cao has made a decision, the general should abide by it."
Cao Cao said: "Regulate the army and let the soldiers rest early. If my conclusion is correct, your Majesty's army will arrive at Longguan no later than tomorrow afternoon. By then, let's see how your Majesty handles Mao Dun."
"Here!"
Huang Zhong and Gan Ning clasped their fists in response, then turned and left.
Longguan became calm, but Maodun was imprisoned in solitary confinement.
He was hit in both legs by two arrows from Huang Zhong. At this moment, the bows and arrows on both legs have been taken out. However, the injuries to both legs will not recover for a period of three to five months.
The so-called 100 days of traumatizing his muscles and bones, he was hit by an arrow in the thigh, and his leg bones were pierced by the arrows. His muscles and bones were heavily rewarded. For the next time, he could not move normally.
The physical injuries were relatively easy to heal.
However, the most serious blow to Mao Dun was that he was already in a state of confusion. He thought that Mao Dun, the majestic king of the grasslands, had occupied Liangzhou and was about to spy on the whole world. But as soon as he arrived in Chencang County, he was about to capture it.
Chencang County was suddenly destroyed. Not only was it defeated by Wang Can, but it was also captured by Wang Can's men. What a shame and humiliation this was?
This situation made Mao Dun extremely frustrated.
He was unwilling to do anything.
But no matter how unwilling Mao Dun was, he became a prisoner.
Mo Dun clenched his hand into a fist and hit his leg hard. As he continued to hit, he forgot that his thigh was injured. Even though the location of the punch was on the knee, once the knee was hit, the injury to the thigh was also affected.
had an impact.
In an instant, Maodun grimaced in pain.
"His! His!"
Maodun gasped, and he gritted his teeth to endure it.
He looked around and saw that there was nothing in the camp. Even if he wanted to commit suicide, he could not find a place to hang himself. There were constant thoughts in his mind, all of which were memories of this battle.
In this battle, he lost too quickly.
Especially here in Longguan, he was completely unprepared.
"Wang Can, Wang Can, you are really powerful. When you arrived in Chencang County, you sent people to set up an ambush at Longguan early. I was completely defeated due to my negligence."
Mao Dun murmured to himself.
But when he muttered to himself, there was endless regret on his face.
It is the most unbearable thing for a king of a country to become a prisoner. He lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Under such torture, the night gradually disappeared and the sky became brighter. (To be continued)
