Chapter 475: Liu Zhang, Who Was Disappointed with His Ability, Broke Through the City Gate with a Single Halberd
Man Niu, the top barbarian military general, has led his army to a place less than one mile away from the tiger and leopard cavalry. With such a short distance, it only takes a few breaths for the top cavalry to rush directly to the front.
Most of the soldiers he brought from the city were infantry, and only a few of them were elite. They had horses to travel, but they were not war horses, just ordinary horses. Those soldiers often wore rattan armor, which was unique to the southwestern barbarians. , is a kind of armor that is soaked in oil and then dried. It is very popular in the southwest, even more popular than iron armor.
Such a team was used to deal with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which was considered famous in the Central Plains. If you tell them about it, you may not laugh at others.
However, these did not prevent him from being confident at the moment and wanting to compete with Cao Zhang. However, before he could say a few words, he suddenly found that all the tiger and leopard riders turned their horses and faced them.
Just when he was about to say something, he saw from a distance that Cao Zhang, who was at the rear of the team, had already begun to charge on his horse. This scene stunned him.
Without giving him any chance to react, Hubaoqi rushed into his face.
Chen Long, the deputy general in charge of the second battalion of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, held a spear that he had obtained from the king of the Xixian Royal Court during the Xiongnu period, and launched an attack on the barbarian bull in the front.
Although he only has the basic attributes of a second-rate general, he is only one step away from being a first-rate general. In addition, he enjoys a high bonus from Cao Cao, and after repeatedly obtaining it through Cao Zhang's characteristics, his real combat ability at this moment The strength is much higher than that of second-rate generals, and even ordinary first-rate generals can survive a few moves.
The ordinary first-class generals naturally refer to the first-class generals of the barbarians, who do not have high bonuses and do not have any powerful characteristics.
Seeing that even a small cavalryman dared to rush towards him, Manniu immediately took up his long spear with an ash wood as the barrel and killed Chen Long, who was riding a tiger and leopard cavalry.
"Little Nanman, give your life to Grandpa!"
Chen Long shouted loudly, and then he came up with a move of Shenlong Chuo. This precious spear obtained from the Xiongnu was thicker than ordinary spears, and the head of the spear was not a traditional prismatic shape, but a rotating thorn shape. This unique The weapon can stab the opponent and make the opponent unable to stop bleeding. Even if he does not die on the spot, he can only bleed to death in the end.
Not only did he get such a gun from the Xiongnu, but later he heard that one of the people who followed General Cao Ren to Wuhuan also got a weapon of similar style, but that person was confiscated from the battlefield. It was not obtained like Chen Long when he followed Cao Zhang to deal with the king of a certain academy.
The two men faced each other with spears, but at the moment of collision, Manniu's pewter gun shaft, which had been used for an unknown period of time, shattered with a sound, and it was interrupted without even being able to hold on for a breath.
Just when Chen Long was about to speak, he suddenly found that Man Niu's expression did not change at all. Instead, he moved his hand to his waist. In the next moment, several darts shot out, hitting Chen Long's life gate at a tricky and cruel angle. It's spicy, just for one hit to kill.
Chen Long shifted his grip from the body of the gun to the tail of the gun, and then swung his right hand hard. The tip of the gun formed a circular area, sucking in all the darts, and then flying them all out.
"Is that all you have? I can't even carry your shoes for Mr. Long!"
The only person who responded to Chen Long was Man Niu's fist that was suddenly close to his face. The Man Niu actually abandoned his horse and walked forward, punching Chen Long hard. Chen Long had no time to block it with his gun, so he could only lift it up in a hurry. Arm, this punch hit Chen Long firmly in the face.
Chen Long only felt a huge force coming, and then there was the sound of his arm breaking, and then, he felt like he was flying out.
When he regained consciousness again, he was lying on the ground. Near him were the tiger and leopard cavalry and the barbarian army who were fighting, and the barbarian bull was walking towards him step by step, with a disdainful smile on his face.
In this battle, the barbarians dispatched six first-class generals, almost all of them. Three of them were besieging Cao Zhang, and the other two were dealing with the other three lieutenants of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. No one could come to support Chen at the moment. dragon.
Chen Long held the ground with one hand, stood up, and found the spear from the Xiongnu not far from him. He raised the spear with his right hand. His injured left hand dropped weakly, but he still raised his right hand. , raised his spear and pointed it at the bull that was slowly coming towards him.
"Jie Jie Jie, how about it? Is this enough?"
As Man Niu walked, he put two iron lotus flowers on his hands.
"Only girls use guns. Real men use their fists."
Man Niu continued to walk while laughing. The iron lotus on his hand resembled a finger tiger, but there was an unexpected spike on the end of the finger. The spike was not long, but its lethality could not be ignored.
Chen Long, whose left hand was almost useless, took a deep breath and swung out his right hand fiercely. The big gun hit the bull with a whistling sound. The gun was powerful and heavy, but when it was about to hit the bull, , but was punched by Manniu on the barrel of the gun, causing the spear to fly upside down. At the same time, Manniu punched himself in the chest again. Chen Long's chest immediately collapsed. After falling to the ground, he vomited a big Beach of black blood.
That was the effect of the blood mixing together after the internal organs were crushed.
With Chen Long's current strength, he would not be so embarrassed when fighting against a first-class general. The reason why he was defeated so quickly was that Chen Long ignored Manniu too much. Moreover, Manniu was not an ordinary first-class general. His strength was enough to match Meng Huo's elder brother and younger brother. He was the first general of the barbarians under Meng Huo.
Manniu was supposed to besiege Cao Zhang. After being selected by Chen Long, he could only get rid of Chen Long first and then deal with Cao Zhang.
Cao Zhang, who was fighting against three people alone, still had some strength left. He kept slaughtering the barbarian soldiers beside him. The conversation with Sun Ce just now really made Cao Zhang a little angry, so now Cao Zhang seemed to be crazy.
The three first-class generals had never seen such a battle. They were all leaders of various barbarian tribes. When they fought each other, they would only fight with the leaders of the hostile tribes. They only decided the victory or defeat, not life or death. After following Meng Huo, Meng Huo rarely let them take action, and they did it all by themselves. As a result, when the three of them faced Cao Zhang, they were stunned by Cao Zhang.
Cao Zhang also saw Chen Long lying on the ground. The punch just now had broken his lung lobe. Unless their miracle doctor came in person, there would be a glimmer of hope. However, Yongchang County was thousands of miles away from Xudu, and Chen Long's death was almost certain. Cao Zhang wanted to save him, but was blocked by a sword flying from a distance.
Looking up, Meng Huo, who had just been injured by him, appeared on the battlefield again at this moment, and was approaching him at a very fast speed.
Before Cao Zhang could react, the three first-class generals around him surrounded and killed him. When Cao Zhang broke the siege of the three people and killed one of them, Meng Huo also came to him.
Picking up the sword stuck in the ground, Meng Huo smiled and looked at Cao Zhang.
"Hahaha, Cao Zhang, today is your death day!"
Cao Zhang was speechless at this moment. There were indeed a large number of soldiers pouring out behind him, but they didn't look like their reinforcements. He really didn't know what these people were thinking, and they actually thought that someone would come to support them.
At the same time, he was deeply moved by what Sun Ce had just said. It was a shame that he had spent so much time with such an enemy.
Cao Zhang and Meng Huo, who had just finished the fourth battle between the two, faced each other again after only a quarter of an hour.
Cao Zhang was exhausted and Meng Huo was injured. The strength of the two was still the same, but Cao Zhang could feel that Meng Huo was stronger, stronger than he was before he was injured a quarter of an hour ago.
"Hahaha, God will not kill me, Meng Huo. I am destined to be the winner of this battle."
Meng Huo laughed wildly, as if he had seen the scene of his victory. Cao Zhang did not speak, but just looked at him quietly, with great contempt in his eyes. Meng Huo did not understand what this look meant at first, but he knew that he saw that the army that emerged from the canyon did not fight with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but instead the two waves of people merged together and rushed towards him.
"No, I've been fooled, retreat quickly!"
Meng Huo roared, and at the same time used his sword to pick up the spear in the hand of a barbarian soldier beside him, threw it at Cao Zhang, and then turned and left. He had no chance of winning against the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, not to mention that there were so many more troops now.
The barbarian soldiers under his command were not the opponents of the Yizhou Army. The reason why they fought back and forth with the Yizhou Army before was just that he, the famous general, took on everything, and it had nothing to do with the soldiers under his command.
Moreover, the opponent now had Zhang Ren, who had been promoted to a famous general, so he had no chance of winning. Therefore, he began to retreat without any hesitation.
The Barbarian Bull, who was originally going to kill Chen Long, was also stopped by Zhang Ren holding a red tassel spear. Although the Barbarian Bull was barely passable among the first-class generals, there was nothing he could do when he met Zhang Ren, who had been promoted to a famous general.
Cao Zhang led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the newly arrived Yizhou Army to charge. After Zhang Ren dealt with the Barbarian Bull, he closed his eyes for Chen Long, the deputy general of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who was seriously injured and died, and then returned to Liu Zhang's side to protect his safety.
As for Liu Xun, he had long been thrown into the battlefield by Liu Zhang for training. The scene of Sun Ce and Cao Zhang standing there just now deeply stimulated Liu Zhang. He, Sun Jian and Cao Cao were all players, so why was his son so disappointing? Other people's sons were either legendary generals or famous generals, but his son was not even a first-class general.
Liu Zhang, who was so angry that he was about to throw Liu Xun into the battlefield, asked him to fight with the army and gain some experience points.
Meng Huo and his men had not left the city wall too far, or in other words, the distance from the city wall to the exit of the canyon was not far, and with the city gate wide open, they quickly rushed into the city. After Meng Huo entered the city, Meng You on the city wall slammed the city wall.
"Close the city gate! Quick, close the city gate for me!"
The bugler who was in charge of delivering the message looked at the other generals on the city wall with some hesitation, and did not dare to make a decision easily. After all, for him, no matter who wanted him dead, he would not be able to live, so he did not dare to offend anyone.
Unexpectedly, before the other generals had time to speak, Meng You had already drawn his sword and stabbed the bugler in the throat with one sword.
"I say it again! Close the city gate immediately!"
As soon as this was said, the scene was silent, and another bugler on the side was so scared that he rolled down the city wall to deliver the message.
The city gate was closed, but a group of people were locked outside the city. They desperately slapped the city gate, and finally turned around and rushed towards the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, cursing.
On the city wall, the bows and arrows were already set up, waiting for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Yizhou Army to enter the range, and then they would indiscriminately shoot. Even if there were barbarian soldiers among them, it would not affect Meng You's order.
Because of their eldest brother Meng Jie, Meng You now hated the Yizhou Army and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to the bone, and his feelings towards the barbarians were different from Meng Huo's. In his eyes, the barbarians were just some slaves who worked for them. For Meng Huo's safety, Meng You would not even hesitate to let them die.
With Meng You's order, countless feather arrows fell like snowflakes. Cao Zhang did not expect that the other party would directly ignore his own people and attack indiscriminately.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry reacted quickly. Almost immediately, they quickly picked up the corpses from the ground and blocked them in front of themselves as human shields. Most of these barbarian soldiers wore special rattan armor. After the arrows penetrated the rattan armor and pierced into the flesh, it was difficult to penetrate them again and could not hurt them at all.
However, the Yizhou Army was not so lucky. After several splashes, only one in ten of the Yizhou Army who rushed to the city wall survived.
The Yizhou Army who survived by chance also followed suit and carried corpses to block the arrows. On the other hand, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had almost negligible casualties. Except for those who did not react at the beginning and the few people who were pierced by the arrows of the generals on the top of the city, the others were safe and sound and arrived at the bottom of the city wall and began to chop the city wall.
After arriving at the city wall, they were no longer within the attack range of the bows and arrows, but the barbarians guarding the city suddenly began to throw stones down. The stones that needed three or four people to lift together were thrown down under the city wall, and each stone made a pit. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who were hiding from the arrows under the city wall could only dodge in the east and west directions.
However, in panic, many Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were still smashed into pools of bloody mud by the huge rocks.
Cao Zhang, who was far away, watched this scene with bloodshot eyes and started charging at the fastest speed. At the same time, Fang Tian Hua Ji was charging, and Tian Yuan Jueming Ji's strongest halberd was ready to go.
After seeing Cao Zhang enter the range, the barbarian archers who had originally stopped fighting, one by one, were like chicken blood, and they all aimed at Cao Zhang.
Cao Zhang waved Fang Tian Hua Ji, blocked all the feather arrows, came to the city gate, and slashed with a halberd, and the city gate fell down.
