In Shanyang City, countless Tao Army soldiers have already attacked the city and began to occupy strategic locations in the city.
Not long after, the city head was captured by the Jinling Army, and the fierce battle between the two armies shifted from the city head to the streets inside the city.
"ah!"
"Kill! Kill!"
"Kill all Cao's troops!"
Screams rang out one after another among Cao's troops, while their leader Liang Xi waved his long sword to block the dense rain of arrows all around.
Although Liang Xi was good at fighting with soldiers, his own skills were relatively average. The spear was a bit heavy in his hand, and it was not easy to block the fast arrows.
With a little negligence, an arrow hit Liang Xi's back shoulder.
Liang Xi screamed in pain, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
As a last resort, he could only draw his sword to block the arrows.
The streets were surrounded by Jinling troops at the front, back and left. Liang Xi and Cao Jun under his command were stuck in the middle and faced heavy arrow attacks, suffering extremely heavy casualties.
"This city can't be defended! Charge! Charge everyone! Open a passage!"
Under the command of Liang Xi, Cao Jun's front army turned into the rear army. The soldiers braved arrows and brandished weapons to kill the Jinling army blocking the street.
Liang Xi had also experienced the power of the Jinling Army's repeating crossbows in the past. Although Cao's army also had repeating crossbows, compared with the Jinling Army, they were still inferior to one level.
If he stayed still, the Jinling Army's crossbow array would keep firing, and then all the soldiers around him would have to finish. In the current situation, the only important thing was to fight desperately in close combat and open a passage.
"Kill!"
"Come on, fight to clear a bloody path!"
"Fight them!"
Under the command of Liang Xi, Cao's army rushed in front of the Jinling army despite a rain of arrows and began a hand-to-hand fight.
At this moment, the person responsible for besieging Liang Xi was Huang Xu, the son of general Huang Zhong.
Seeing that Liang Xi was a bit difficult to deal with, Huang Xu raised his hand and told the soldiers in the Liennu Battalion to stop firing arrows. He personally led the infantry and went straight to kill Liang Xi on the opposite side.
Huang Xu Shicai's heroic performance often fell in the eyes of Liang Xi.
I don't know how many soldiers and generals of Cao Cao were lost in his hands.
This young general is really hateful!
"You break out of the encirclement quickly and rush to Xuchang to report the news. I will break up the rear!" After Liang Xi warned the soldiers, he shouted and went straight to Huang Xu to kill him.
It would have been better if Liang Xi didn't come, but when he showed up, he played right into Huang Xu's hands.
He was also afraid that Liang Xi wouldn’t come!
"clang!"
The sword and the sword met in the air, sparking a little fire, and the sound was extremely harsh.
The streets were narrow and the two could not charge with their horses, so they competed with each other on horseback.
The two of them went back and forth, attacking and defending, and they actually ended up in a draw.
But based on his true ability, how could Liang Xi defeat Huang Xu, a brave general of the younger generation? It was clearly Huang Xu who gave way to him.
He didn't give in on purpose... It's just that Huang Xu wanted to know who the well-dressed man in front of him was.
Is it a meritorious service? After all, you have to know what the merit is. If you don’t even know the name, it’s useless to take back the head!
"Who are you?" Huang Xu asked while lazily sparring with Liang Xi.
"Little thief, I am Shanyang Guardsman Liang Xi!" Liang Xi shouted and stabbed Huang Xu with his sword.
"It turns out he's an unknown person, so boring." Huang Xu sighed helplessly, looking very lonely.
Liang Xi was furious at Huang Xu's expression.
Is this guy really looking down on others?
I'm so famous, but you've never heard of me? Isn't this a deliberate slap in my face?
"Unknown person? Very good. I will kill you today and use your head to make the world famous!" Liang Xi gritted his teeth, and the strength of the sword in his hand became three points stronger.
Huang Xu was too lazy to pay attention to him, and just threw the sword in his hand towards Liang Xi with all his strength.
The sword and the broadsword collided together, and Liang Xi felt his arm go numb immediately, and bursts of pain came from the tiger's mouth.
And the long sword in his hand was cut into two pieces by Huang Xu.
Liang Xi's face suddenly turned pale.
He never imagined that this baby, who looked like a sickly child, could have such strength in his hands!
But even if I regret it, it's already too late.
When Huang Xu raised the knife again, Liang Xi's head had already fallen to the ground, and his eyes were wide open, obviously unwilling to rest in peace.
Huang Xu got off his horse, reached out and picked up Liang Xi's head, and tied it to the side of his horse.
Liang Xi died, and the soldiers and horses behind him were naturally no match for the Jinling Army, and they were destroyed in an instant.
Not long after, I saw Ah Fei galloping over.
"Brother!"
Huang Xu frowned and turned to look at him.
"How many times have I told you not to call me brother... You and I are not the same father."
Ah Fei was shameless: "But you and I are godfathers."
Huang Xu's face twitched and he wanted to beat him.
Isn’t this just nonsense? Your godfather is my biological father, okay? If you don’t know how to speak human words, don’t say it!
Huang Xu snorted and just turned around to tie the head of the horse.
A Fei looked at the head under Huang Xu's horse with great interest and said, "Brother, whose head is this?"
Huang Xu was tortured to death by A Fei's two-skinned attitude.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat him, he would definitely turn around and give him a kick.
"General Shanyang's." Huang Xu said calmly.
Ah Fei's eyes suddenly shone brightly: "General Shanyang, brother, you are really powerful. You even took down General Shanyang's head!"
Huang Xu rarely puffed up his chest and felt proud.
"What's his name?"
Huang Xu said: "My name is Liang Xi."
Ah Fei touched his chin and said: "Oh... I haven't heard of it. It doesn't seem to be very powerful or remarkable... No wonder you can take off his head."
The veins on Huang Xu's forehead were exposed, and he spoke with gritted teeth.
"Did you come here specifically to humiliate me on the Prime Minister's order?"
Ah Fei was stunned when he heard this, then he waved his hands hurriedly and said: "No, no, brother misunderstood, I was just passing by... I didn't mean to humiliate you."
"Then what you just said was so unpleasant..."
Ah Fei grinned and said, "I'm telling the truth. There are so many fierce generals in Cao's army, and this person really doesn't rank among them."
Huang Xu took a deep breath and said: "Then tell me which one of Cao's soldiers is more powerful. I will capture him alive for you to see!"
Huang Xu just said an angry word, but A Fei actually touched his chin and thought carefully.
"I heard from my adoptive father that there was a man named Xia Houyuan among Cao's soldiers, and he was very successful. Even my adoptive father didn't seem to take advantage of him!"
When Huang Xu heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Xia Houyuan? Okay! I will capture this man one day... Do you still dare to look down on me?"
…
The potter's army successfully captured Shanyang County.
When conquering Shanyang County, the pottery merchant also discovered that Xu Rong seemed to have some psychological problems.
After some in-depth discussions, the pottery merchant found that... his words seemed to be of little use to Xu Rong. His temper seemed to have become irritable and tense, and he seemed to be trying to get into trouble.
But the pottery merchant really didn't have much time to solve his psychological problems. After all, Shanyang County had already been dealt with, and the next step was to conquer the Central Plains.
News of Tao Shangjun naturally spread to Xuchang quickly.
At this moment, Cao Ren, Xun Yu and others were no longer calm.
