Chapter 406: Rumors Spread, but Finally It Did Not Disappoint Gu Rubing's Expectations!
Facing this sword that seemed to be capable of destroying heaven and earth, Zu Mao was heartbroken. He didn't even have the courage to raise the sword to resist. The next moment, a sharp sword energy passed through Zu Mao's body, and his entire body was sideways. Split open, the powerful aura continued to sweep backwards, and it gradually stopped after traveling for hundreds of meters.
Wherever the sword passed by, everything was torn to pieces. Sun Jun, who was attacking the city, was now reduced to limbs and arms. Those soldiers who were attacking the city at the front and were not affected by the sword turned around and saw this What shocked them was that they all abandoned their armor and began to run away without any thought of resistance.
Just kidding, a sword slashed out hundreds of meters of sword energy and killed more than a thousand people. Is this a terrifying existence that they can stop? Not to mention blocking, in front of this sword, they are not even qualified to be cannon fodder and block the sword for others, because the sword will smash everything in front of them, including them.
After the sword was passed, the world was silent, leaving only the rumble of running horse hooves. More than 10,000 horsemen rushed in like a tide, rushing towards Sun's army who was attacking the city like ants.
Gan Ning, who was very close to Zu Mao, felt the majestic aura at the first moment. The pressure on his face was almost suffocating. Without any hesitation, Gan Ning roared loudly.
"withdraw!"
The soldiers who were attacking the city turned to look at Gan Ning. For some reason, Gan Ning shouted again.
"Damn it, I said retreat, don't you understand?"
Before Gan Ning could finish his words, the image of a knife smashing thousands of soldiers fell into the eyes of the soldiers here. There was no need for Gan Ning to shout anymore, all the soldiers began to retreat. No matter how much he said, it was not as good as seeing it with their own eyes. When the arrival was real, Gan Ning didn't urge them any more. Each of them started to walk towards the south, walking around the city, greeting the people they met on the way.
"There was a sneak attack from the north. It was very powerful. More than 10,000 people rushed over directly. Stop attacking the city. Our general has ordered a retreat."
Soldiers rushed to tell each other, and all the Sun troops passing by began to retreat.
"A god from the north has arrived. He killed more than a thousand people with a single blow of white light. Run away!"
The soldiers who knew each other began to spread the rumors to each other, and the rumors became more and more outrageous. In the end, they evolved into ridiculous rumors about the arrival of gods over there. However, the shock to them was immediate, and there was nothing wrong with their descriptions. He destroyed thousands of people. What is this if he is not a god?
Sun Jun's army circled the city from the west wall and returned to the east city from the south city. At this moment, Sun Jian did not know what was happening in the west of Xiakou City, nor did he know that Zu Mao had been chopped down by Guan Yu with a sword.
"Lord, hurry up. In the northwest, Liu Bei's subordinates, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, led a surprise attack with more than 10,000 people. Zu Mao has been killed by Guan Yu. Quickly order the withdrawal, lord!"
Gan Ning rushed from the rear to the front and reported the detailed battle situation to Sun Jian.
"There are only more than 10,000 people, why are you so panicked? Even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both peerless generals, is it possible that they can stop my army of 100,000 people?"
Hearing that it was not Liu Bei's main force, but his two sworn brothers who came with more than 10,000 cavalry, Sun Jian was slightly relieved. After all, there were only more than 10,000 cavalry, which would not have a big impact on the battle situation in Xiakou City. The impact is that Xiakou City should be destroyed or destroyed. Maybe Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhang Liao will also suffer hatred here today.
Gan Ning looked at the confused Sun Jian and immediately told everything he saw.
"Guan Yu killed Zu Mao and thousands of others with one strike. This man is by no means a match for us. Lord, please give the order to retreat!"
"Kill Zu Mao with one knife? And kill thousands of people?"
Four words popped up in Sun Jian's mind instantly. He had seen legendary military generals and famous generals, and it was not without famous generals under his command. Zhou Yu had been promoted to a famous general for nearly half a year, Gan Ning had also been promoted to a famous general some time ago, and Sun Ce had only A little bit close, but who among the three has this kind of strength? nothing!
Therefore, the only possibility is that Guan Yu has been promoted to a legendary general, otherwise there would be such a big gap in military force with the famous generals.
Thinking of this, Sun Jian's heart trembled suddenly. Liu Bei already had legendary generals under his command, and Zhou Yu, who was the first to be promoted to a famous general under his command, now only has 50 experience points. As for the legendary general points, he only has 27 points. He is still far away from becoming a legendary general, but Liu Bei already has one now, and the gap between the two sides has become wider and wider. It seems that they can no longer fight together.
"withdraw!"
Sun Jian almost squeezed out this word from between his teeth. Before this, no one knew how strong the legendary generals were, but now Cao Cao knows, and Sun Jian also knows, one person can defeat ten thousand troops, no, to be precise, ten thousand The enemy of one person is the strength of the legendary military commander.
Following Sun Jian's order, all the soldiers who were attacking the city returned and began to assemble and retreat. Sun Ce led an army of thousands of people to fight Zhang Liao. At this moment, a fierce battle was going on. Although there were only a thousand people fighting Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao's commanding skills were to face the opponent. All enemies in a battle are not the enemies at war.
With the bonus of five times the characteristics of the Commander's Death Combat Skill, Zhang Liao and the 800 cavalry almost killed all the thousand men led by Sun Ce. Sun Ce relied on the high attribute bonus of his hero, and Zhang Liao The battle was still going back and forth, but it gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Combat power bonus is not the only criterion for measuring combat power. In addition to combat power, the combat experience of generals is equally important. Sun Ce is slightly behind Zhang Liao in this regard. In just half a quarter of an hour, Sun Ce was trapped in a tight siege.
Gan Ning and Zhou Yu, who were retreating, saw this scene and quickly led thousands of elite cavalry to rescue Sun Ce. After all, Sun Ce was their crown prince. Once Sun Ce died, none of them would have anything to gain.
The two of them charge hand in hand, one with a sword and the other with a knife. Neither is a powerful weapon on the battlefield, but it is equally deadly in the hands of both of them.
Seeing that the soldiers who were blocking them were all chopped off their horses by the two men, Zhang Liao, who was fighting with Sun Ce, swung out his sword and threw Sun Ce and his horse back. Sun Ce's mount was frightened by the sword and raised its hooves, roaring hoarsely. , after temporarily getting rid of Sun Ce, Zhang Liao shouted angrily.
"Come and have a battle with your Grandpa Zhang!"
The yellow dragon hook and sickle danced in the wind, and attacked Zhou Yu and Gan Ning. Zhou Yu, relying on his perseverance bonus, actually used the general Dang Kou to fight against the long weapon of the yellow dragon hook and sickle. The outcome was a battle that was obviously not too different between the two sides. However, Zhou Yu was shot back by Zhang Liao.
While repelling Zhou Yu, Zhang Liao bent down to avoid Gan Ning's horizontal slash. Gan Ning used his greatest strength to strike. If Zhang Liao had not been able to dodge, he would have been seriously injured even if his body was not broken by the sword.
Zhang Liao bent down to avoid the blow, holding the yellow dragon hook sickle with one hand, and struck Sun Ce with a strike of Nezha Naohai. Sun Ce raised the crossbar of the Overlord Spear and was not hit by Zhang Liao. Zhou Yu was just deflated. Shaking the rebel general, beautiful sword flowers appeared on the tip of the sword, stabbing Zhang Liao continuously. Gan Ning also changed from holding the sword in one hand to holding the sword in both hands. The two were responsible for the main attack, and Sun Ce was holding the Overlord Spear at the side. Waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Sun Jun's large army had already begun to retreat, and they had no worries. The three men's goal now was Zhang Liao. The significance of capturing Zhang Liao was not as good as the capture of Xiakou, but at last they did not return empty-handed.
The attacks of the three men were fierce and ruthless. Everyone was aiming to take Zhang Liao's life. Zhang Liao was one against three. He could only seize the opportunity to counterattack with a few moves. The rest could only defend passively. Among them, Zhou Yu Zhang Liao's attack was the most bizarre and difficult to stop. The gangsters were almost pervasive and soon left several wounds on Zhang Liao's body. Although they were not fatal, they successfully blocked Zhang Liao's attack every time. It's just right.
Compared with Zhou Yu, Gan Ning's attack method is much more pure. He just chops with the knife, and he doesn't pay attention to any moves or techniques. He just chops and slashes horizontally. Although he has no skills, he is powerful and heavy. .
In addition to the two of them, there was also Sun Ce waiting for an opportunity. Sun Ce fired two shots in total. The first shot hit Zhang Liao's back, causing Zhang Liao to spit out blood, and the second shot almost hit Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao's head was dodged by Zhang Liao's head, but there was still a trace of blood on his face.
The eight hundred cavalry could not help him. They were entangled by the thousands of cavalry brought by Zhou Yu and others, and were likely to be destroyed. Zhang Liao fell into an isolated and helpless situation, although he could hit Zhou Yu and others from time to time and injure them. , but compared with the injuries on his body, they really pale into insignificance.
"Wenyuan! I'm coming too!"
A loud roar suddenly sounded from not far away. A figure wearing a green robe, holding a big sword, and a fiery red figure came quickly. Behind the red and green figure, another figure was also approaching quickly.
"I'm here too!"
From the beginning to the end of this war, Zhang Liao did not wait for any support and had been fighting alone. Until now, when he was about to lose his support, he finally waited for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
After Gan Ning saw Guan Yu, his pupils tightened and he charged up his sword to strike. He stopped attacking and shouted to the two people beside him.
"Captain, eldest young master, let's go. Guan Yu is not someone to be trifled with."
After witnessing Guan Yu's devastating sword, Gan Ning had no idea of fighting with Guan Yu. What was the difference between that and seeking death? Zhou Yu glanced at Zhang Liao with a complex expression, who was already covered with injuries. The stone weighing on his heart has been almost a year. He was about to kill Zhang Liao, but he missed the opportunity again.
Another haze came to mind, and Zhou Yu suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood. Gan Ning turned around and looked at Zhou Yu with a surprised look on his face. His mind was racing, what was going on, why was he vomiting blood inexplicably? Beaten by Zhang Liao? It shouldn't be. Most of Zhang Liao's attacks were blocked by him. Besides, even if he hits, he shouldn't be vomiting blood now.
"Captain, what's wrong with you?"
Gan Ning quickly came to Zhou Yu's side. Zhou Yu's face was a little pale because he had just vomited blood. He looked at Zhang Liao complicatedly, and his heart was filled with regret.
"Captain, you can avenge yourself someday. Keep the green hills here and don't worry about running out of firewood. Leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
Zhou Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and wanted to speak harshly to strengthen his momentum, but found that he could not speak, so he could only ride away and caught up with Gan Ning and Sun Ce.
Guan Yu came to Zhang Liao's side and reached out to hold Zhang Liao's back. Zhang Liao leaned on Guan Yu's heavy arm and gasped for air. With the bonus of Gu Rubing Wu Ji Tianming, Zhang Liao rarely experienced physical exhaustion. However, today, he fought against two famous generals alone, a first-class general whose fighting power was not inferior to the famous generals. After the three of them attacked together, they almost dragged Zhang Liao to exhaustion. If Guan Yu and the others hadn't arrived, Zhang Liao would have been defeated. I might be eaten alive here today.
"Finally, I have lived up to my lord's expectations."
Zhang Fei rode over, patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder and gave a thumbs up.
"Wen Yuan, I admire you, good job."
Zhang Liao smiled softly and started joking.
"This is the first time I can be praised by Yide. Go and call Zhou Yu and the others. Now I feel full of strength. I will fight him for hundreds more rounds!"
The three of them looked at each other and laughed loudly, their laughter shattering the white clouds in the sky.
In the city, Huang Zu looked at Sun Jun who was leaving like a tide receding. He felt a little unbelievable. After he was seriously injured by Gan Ning, he could no longer fight on horseback and in armor. He could only recuperate from his injuries, but Huang Zu could not Reluctantly, he came to the city wall to cheer for the soldiers, so that when they looked back they could see that the prefect, although seriously injured, could still face the enemy with them.
Huang Zu's move was indeed effective. It greatly increased the morale of the soldiers defending Xiakou City, and also allowed some men of suitable age in the city to voluntarily join the ranks of the defenders. Only then could they still not give way despite Sun Jian's repeated attacks. Sun Jian's men took a step into Xiakou City.
Just looking at Sun Jun retreating as if fleeing, Huang Zu still felt a little like he was in a dream. The opponent was obviously about to capture Xiakou, so why did he retreat suddenly?
Until Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to Dongcheng with an army of more than 10,000 people, the two figures fell into Huang Zu's sight, especially the one wearing a green robe, carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and the red rabbit horse on his crotch. Huang Zu knew from the figure that Xia Kou was fine.
"We won, Uncle Liu Huang sent someone here!"
Huang Zu shouted in a low voice. Although the voice was not loud, it was deep and heavy. The voice was transmitted to other soldiers on the city wall, and the other soldiers raised their arms and shouted together?
"Victory! We have won. Uncle Liu Huang has sent people to support me!"
Not long after, the entire Xiakou City was chanting Gu Rubing's name. Gu Rubing did not notice that his virtuous characteristics that had not grown for a long time continued to grow, because at this moment Gu Rubing was cleaning the battlefield. Yesterday, they had a vigorous battle with Shi Xie, as well as Shi Yan, Shi, Shi Wu and others under Shi Xie.
In this battle, Shi Xie's cavalry lost more than 10,000 people. The losses of the infantry were even more incalculable. Four hundred poison girls used poison at the beginning of the battle in an attempt to defeat the enemy without a fight. However, they had all taken the potion prepared by Hua Tuo and were immune to the poison. And they stopped the poisonous invasion for three hours. Three hours was enough time for Gu Rubing and the others to have a battle with Shi Xie. The battle started as quickly as it ended.
