Chapter 350 Gu Rubing Finally Arrived and Knocked the Boulder Away with His Force
Ten miles away from Chengde, Taishi Ci thrust his halberd into Han Dang's heart. In the end, hundreds of horsemen fell to the ground after being shot down by the crossbows of other scouts.
The 10,000 cavalrymen never encountered Taishi Ci and the others from the beginning to the end. Although Han Dang also had personal reasons for this, the more important reason was that Taishi Ci and the others were too well-equipped.
Let’s not talk about Zhuge Liannu, but just talk about the horses between the two sides. The horses of Taishi Ci and his scouts are all big horses from Xiliang. They can travel eight hundred a day and a thousand at night. It goes without saying that they are the talents of Xiliang Longxi Racecourse. Some of the horses were unique and big, but Han Dang's horses were just ordinary horses, so they couldn't catch up with Tai Shici and the others.
This was also the most fundamental reason for their failure. They couldn't fight, chase, or escape. Even touching the opponent was a luxury, let alone fighting them.
"Let's go. My lord and the others must be fighting with the thief now. Let's go and help our lord."
Taishi Ci wiped the blood on his halberd and smiled evilly. Lao San, who was on the side responsible for helping Gu Rubing clean up the Sun thief's stronghold, had also rushed back. After hearing Taishi Ci's words, he also laughed along with him.
"General, this Zhuge Liannu is so easy to use. Originally, our crossbow could only fire one arrow at a time. It was not very powerful and had low accuracy. But this Zhuge Liannu has made up for all the shortcomings. That’s awesome.”
The third child was holding Zhuge Liannu, and now he regarded Zhuge Liannu as a treasure and couldn't put it down.
"Hahaha, okay, you almost think Zhuge Liannu is a bitch, can it still warm your bed at night?"
Ma Rulong, another supervisor on the side, mocked. The third child was unmoved by Ma Rulong's ridicule.
"I just use it to warm my bed, what's wrong?"
"You're awesome, you're awesome!"
Ma Rulong couldn't help but extend his thumb towards the third child, and Taishi Ci smiled and gave each of them a kick.
"Okay, stop being poor and go support the lord and the others."
Taishi Ci led hundreds of scouts and galloped towards Chengde Army Town.
On the other side, in Chengde Army Town, Gu Rubing had led 350,000 Yellow Turban reserves to fight with Sun Jian's reserve troops.
More than 200,000 troops were fighting in Chengde with Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and others under the command of Zhou Yu. Only less than 100,000 people remained with Sun Jian. Even though they were regular troops, they faced a total of 350,000 troops. At that time, Sun Jian's soldiers were more or less afraid.
However, this fear soon disappeared. The armies of both sides collided like two tides. Sun Jian looked heavy. After all, they still failed to completely capture Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and the others before Gu Rubing arrived.
"Go, inform the Governor and ask him to lead all the remaining people to support here. Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others in the city will be crushed to death with catapults! And Bo Fu, so that he no longer has to defend the East City and come here. support."
Zhou Yu also saw the huge army. The gloom in his heart hit him again. Just like last time, it was also in the final stage. He was only one step away from winning this battlefield and gaining the indomitable victory. However, when he saw the tide-like army rushing towards Chengde, he knew that he might not be able to win this battle.
"Are they all without physical exertion? Why haven't we been able to capture them after seven hours of fighting? Not only have they not been captured, but the opponent's physical strength has not declined at all!"
Zhou Yu clenched his fists and whispered to himself.
"Report! Grand Governor, the lord ordered you to lead the remaining people to support the lord. Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others in Chengde Army Town will use catapults and giant crossbows to kill them indiscriminately!"
After Zhou Yu heard the words of the messenger soldier, he did not hesitate anymore and nodded to the bugler soldiers on the side. The bugler soldiers immediately understood and blew the retreat horn.
At this moment, in Chengde Army Town, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Zhang Jia, leading 20,000 cavalry, have been forced into a dead end. Only the last three streets are still under their control. Fighting in such a small territory, The cavalry simply cannot exert its due combat effectiveness.
They have no way out. At this time, even if they rush out of the East City and face Sun Ce who is waiting for work, they will still be destroyed. Moreover, Sun Ce is a cavalry and has stronger combat power. They might as well stay in the city, that way they will still be defeated. If you can kill a few more, you will not be compensated for killing one, but you will earn one for killing two.
After Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun took a bath in the enemy sea again, they returned to their own positions. Zhao Yun was full of apologies.
"Brother Yide, it's all my fault. I acted out of impulse. I shouldn't be a hero. I ruined my future. Now I'm dragging my two brothers here to wait for death with me."
"Hey, brother Zilong, what are you talking about? I don't like hearing you talk like this. What does it mean to be a drag? Brothers should live and die together. If you talk like that again, don't blame me for being angry."
After Zhang Fei heard what Zhao Yun said, he immediately became unhappy. He puffed his beard and stared, opening his jaw and his right arm was slashed by Huang Gai and three other second-rate generals. It had just been bandaged.
"You're right. There's no such thing as a drag. Brothers walk together and have a companion on the road."
Opening his jaw and taking a deep breath, he tied the white gauze on his right arm tightly. This was given to him by his master when he first joined the army. On the battlefield, hands cannot be bandaged like usual injuries. They must be tied tightly enough, so that Only in this way can less blood flow out, so as not to affect the blood circulation of the injured enemy.
"Okay, two brothers, let us kill the grandsons until they are scared! Even if we die here, we must make the grandsons remember us and be afraid of us. Even their infant children will not mention us in the future. Dare to cry again!”
Zhao Yun smashed the gentian silver gun heavily on the ground. The sword tied to the tip of the gun was nowhere to be found at this moment. The sun at noon had begun to set, and he could feel the coldness of the weather more and more, and the blood flowing from the injury was all gone. It was already frozen to the wound, and when tapped lightly, a crisp impact sound was made.
Chengdejun Town is already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The blood flowing out has solidified. Spring has not yet completely arrived. The cold at this time is more unbearable than the cold winter. The dead bodies have stiffened and lost their original warmth. This vigorous battle took place a few days after the beginning of spring, which was the time of late spring cold.
The cold spring weather will kill young people!
The white breath exhaled from everyone's mouth was like a short but warm spring breeze, making them feel that they were still alive in the world at this moment.
"kill!"
Zhang Fei was the first to shout loudly, raised the Zhangba Snake Spear that had turned dark red in his hand high, and rushed towards the enemy. The dark clouds and snow under his crotch were not as handsome as before, and the hair was stained with blood. .
"Till death!"
Zhao Yun shouted low, with murderous intent in his eyes. He should be the person who killed the most enemy generals in this siege. There were three second-rate generals before the war started, two second-rate generals after it started, and more than a dozen third-rate generals. The generals, as well as several second-rate generals who followed Huang Gai to attack Zhang Jia, were all killed by Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun fought tooth and nail to save Huang Gai from opening his jaw. In the end, Zhao Yun fought hard and was hit in the back by Huang Gai's mace, which still pierced Huang Gai's shoulder, forcing Huang Gai to withdraw from the battle and no longer be able to fight.
He opened his jaw and moved his injured arm, moved his palm away, and clenched his fist. He moved his palm away, and clenched his fist. Repeat this to allow your injured arm to quickly return to its congested state.
"Only death can repay the kindness of knowing you."
The sound of opening his jaw was very small, as if he was speaking only to himself. He clenched his weapon with his other uninjured hand and calmly faced the countless troops that were surrounding them.
Just as the enemy's encirclement was gradually shrinking, the horn of retreat suddenly sounded from the enemy's camp. Zhang Fei and the others, who had been ready to fight, watched helplessly as the enemy army retreated like a tide. Before they could react, they saw more than a dozen flaming fireballs hitting them in the sky.
"Damn it!"
Zhao Yun was shocked that the other party no longer cared about the casualties of the people in the city and began to use such weapons of mass destruction in order to completely destroy them here.
Outside the east city wall, Sun Ce watched a dozen boulders fall into the city with a trace of disdain on his face.
"No matter how powerful you are, you have to survive to be useful. If you can't survive, you will lose your life. Everything is empty talk."
Sun Ce looked at the blazing fire in the city and smiled lightly, and a messenger ran to him.
"Sir, my lord has asked you not to stay here anymore. I want you to go back."
"Okay, I know."
Sun Ce no longer looked inside the city, turned his horse and left.
Within the city, Zhao Yun spit out a mouthful of blood. Just now, Zhao Yun single-handedly knocked away all four boulders that should have fallen into the army. However, the huge impact of the boulders also caused Zhao Yun to suffer internal injuries. For him, and the enemy Killing enemies, with the Gu Rubing characteristic of replenishing physical strength at any time, there is not much pressure, but this kind of boulder is different, it can only be opened by brute force.
If such a flaming boulder were allowed to fall directly into the army, the damage caused would be unimaginable. Only by changing the trajectory of the boulder with great force could the boulder be prevented from falling into the army.
"here we go again!"
Zhang Fei yelled angrily, stopped supporting Zhao Yun, held a spear in one hand, bent his legs, and flew into the sky like a cannonball, smashing a boulder in the middle, and then knocked the other four boulders away, and then returned to the sky again. fell to the ground.
Just after landing, Zhang Fei couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood. After all, he was a famous general, and his basic combat power was still slightly stronger. He was also better than Zhao Yun in facing boulders. He knocked away the five boulders in the second round. But he was by no means nothing. He was still shaken by those huge rocks and his blood surged up. He couldn't hold back and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Before the two of them could catch their breath, another wave of boulders flew toward everyone. Zhang Jia was not as strong as Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, and was seriously injured. However, Zhang Jia still jumped up without hesitation and transformed the two boulders. Knowing the trajectory of their actions, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei tried their best to suppress the surging energy and blood in their bodies, and helped Zhang Jia block the other two.
The arm that had finally stopped bleeding when he opened his jaw was bleeding again. The bright red blood soaked into the gauze and stayed on the cold armor, adding a touch of warmth to the armor.
Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei both felt uncomfortable. They couldn't suppress the energy and blood in their bodies, and now they couldn't help it, and they spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Throughout the seven-hour war, although their physical strength has been maintained at its best, his condition has actually been declining, but it has declined very slowly, forming a balance that will not be broken in a short period of time. , but these boulders broke these balances, which caused the injuries accumulated in the previous seven hours of fighting to explode instantly.
However, fortunately, after the three-wheeled catapults fired in unison, there was finally no fourth wave of volleys. There would definitely not be too many of these boulders in stock. Even if it was to attack a large city, at most twenty or thirty boulders would be enough to capture it.
Sun Jian had already prepared for a rainy day and prepared fifty of these boulders for siege. For this reason, Sun Jian also gave up carrying some food and grass, and chose to go with some of the food and grass, so that there was enough manpower to bring fifty siege boulders.
When Zhou Yu first conquered the tower, more than a dozen of the fifty boulders were used up, and the three waves of volleys just now used up all the boulders.
The tar on the boulders was the most difficult to extinguish after being ignited. Even if those boulders did not play a direct bombardment role, the splashing gravel ignited the nearby houses and ignited a raging fire. Those flames, like a demon with bared fangs and claws, easily took the lives of those people who hid in the house and did not dare to go out for a long time.
The fire soon surrounded them. At this moment, their only way was to rush out of the city gate and fight their way out of Sun Ce.
Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Zhang He looked at each other and immediately understood each other's thoughts. It was better to take a chance than to wait and be burned to death here. Maybe they could get a chance to survive.
But when they rushed out of the city gate with the spirit of seeing death as their own, they found that Sun Ce and his cavalry, who were supposed to be stationed here, had disappeared.
"Brother, it must be Brother!
Zhang Fei pointed to the distance, where Sun Jian's troops seemed to be fighting with someone.
"The traces of Sun Ce's army stationed are still there. They must have just left not long ago. I guess Zhou Yu's retreat in the city was also because of this. The opponent must be strong enough to force Sun Jian, the dog thief, to transfer Zhou Yu, Sun Ce and all the troops. It seems that it must be the lord. "
Zhang He analyzed calmly, and then pushed the gauze tied very tightly on his right arm. Although tying it too tightly is more conducive to combat, it will also cause the wound to rupture again, or the wound will be more difficult to heal, so this is only an emergency method that can be used on the battlefield.
"There is no time to lose, we have to tie up my brother!"
The few people hit it off and took the remaining 20,000 cavalry and less than 10,000 infantry to kill Sun Jian's rear, and then they got out of the tiger's den and entered the dragon's den.
Gu Rubing, who was on the front of the battlefield, was furious after seeing the scene of the catapult attacking the city in the distance.
"Sun Jian! If any of my brothers is injured, I will make you bury my brother with me!"
Gu Rubing looked fierce, staring at Sun Jian viciously, with murderous intent in his eyes that was about to overflow!
