clang!
The long-handled battle knife collided with the four-foot iron sword in the air, with great force, but was taken away by the iron sword without showing any weakness.
Immediately afterwards, the sword tip flipped, pressed against the back of the knife and wiped towards the handle of the knife.
However, the person holding the knife was not a mediocre person.
Seeing the sword attack, he calmly raised his right hand and used a knife to block the iron sword. He relied on his tall figure and kicked it up, forcing the sword-holder to give in.
When the other party retreated, he held the middle part of the sword, turned his body sharply, and the sword in his hand rotated, protecting his whole body, and pressing forward quickly.
Faced with the strong enemy who was pressing forward step by step, the sword-holder had to fight and retreat, retreat to the samurai warrior, temporarily avoiding his sharp edge, and instead killing the soldiers guarding the city on a large scale.
Seeing that the sword-holder who was older than him took the initiative to avoid it, Huang Zhong did not chase him, and raised his sword to kill the armored warriors, and his speed of killing enemies was far higher than that of the elderly swordsmen. After all, in the battle between thousands of soldiers on both sides, the lethality of the long-handled sword far exceeded the power of the sword. Often, Huang Zhong could slash with one knife and kill two armored warriors, and it was cut and cut twice, and it was neat.
It goes without saying that this elderly man who is more than teenager than Huang Zhong is Zhang Chuan, the great elder of the Wudou Rice Sect.
He is good at dove and maneuvering, and his body is flexible. However, when he is on the city tower, he is surrounded by soldiers fighting and has no chance to use his body. However, his opponent Huang Zhong is holding a long-handled sword, and the attack range is large, which makes the Armored Warrior unable to get close to him. This gives Huang Zhong enough space to open and close, and kill the Armored Warrior unscrupulously.
In this way, Huang Zhong and Zhang Chuan sometimes fought and sometimes killed each other's soldiers.
After more than twenty rounds, Zhang Chuan killed more than 30 guards, but there were nearly a hundred armored warriors who died under Huang Zhong's sword.
Seeing Huang Zhong so brave, Zhang Chuan was so angry that he couldn't help but be surprised by Huang Zhong. At this time, he knew that Huang Zhong was the commander of the Xiliang Army who had been ambushing the mountain behind him and waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack the escort guards. It was this man who led more than 8,000 archers to shoot more than 3,000 archers in one fell swoop, forcing him to lead his troops to attack the east city. Fortunately, after paying the cost of more than 1,000 samurai casualties, Zhang Chuan led the escort guards to successfully seize the east city tower and then attacked the Xiliang defenders on the front city tower. At this moment, Huang Zhong also led his troops down the mountain, followed Zhang Chuan and climbed to the top of the city wall, and continued to chase Zhang Chuan and lead the escort guards.
It was precisely Huang Zhong who led his troops to arrive in time, which greatly reduced the pressure on the city tower defenders, which was already in danger. The Nanmen crisis was invisibly resolved, and the Hanzhong army's beautiful vision of trying to capture Chen Cangcheng in one fell swoop, and it was delayed in capturing the city tower.
In addition, in the evening when the Fajing issued a combat order, in order to prevent accidents, he ordered people to carry huge rocks in advance to block the city gate. The purpose is to prevent the Hanzhong army from breaking open the city gate and then rushing into the city in one go; after blocking the city gate, unless the Hanzhong army captures the city tower, you will never step into the city gate.
At the beginning, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and others thought that it was unnecessary to do this, but Fa Zheng was stubborn in his opinion for the sake of caution. Unexpectedly, it was Fa Zheng's cautious move that played an immeasurable role at the critical moment, which made the Hanzhong army attack the city from darkness and continued until the fourth update of the night, but could not open the city gate. Until now, they were still blocked from the city gate.
Despite this, the situation in Nanmen is still extremely dangerous and still in danger.
At the third update, the city heads on both sides of the east and west were successively lost, resulting in the troops stationed in the city guards being unable to support nearby. They could only detour to other city gates and rush back to support from the city walls. In this way, the Xiliang army became a tactic of adding fuel to the oil. They were blocked by the Zajia warriors of the Wudou Mi Cult on the city walls at both ends. They were unable to break through for a long time and could not support the defensive battle on the South Gate Tower.
However, the Xiliang army in the city could not go up, and the Hanzhong army on the city tower could not come down. Because the Xiliang army gathered 3,000 troops at the stairs at the east and west ends, and set up strong bows and crossbows to tightly block the Hanzhong army on the city tower. However, this was just a last resort. Once the city tower defenders were injured and killed, the Hanzhong army would sooner or later attack the city. Once the Hanzhong army entered the city, the huge rock blocking the city gate would inevitably be moved away, and then Chencang City would fall.
Fortunately, Huang Zhong led his troops to arrive in the critical moment. More than 3,000 Qin Gong Camp soldiers rushed forward and defeated the 500 Zhajia warriors stationed in the east city tower in one fell swoop, and then fought with the escort guards led by Zhang Chuan.
From the third update, the South Gate Tower was crowded with soldiers, and the corners were filled with people, all of which were as many as nearly 10,000 people, and the forces on both sides were almost equal.
Although the number of people on both sides was almost the same, the combat effectiveness of the Wudou Mi Cult's escort guards, that is, the Zhajia warriors, was obviously higher than that of the Xiliang defenders. They were all fearless and extremely fierce. Although the 6,000 Zhajia warriors led by Zhang Chuan were attacked by the Qin Bow Camp, resulting in heavy casualties, and less than 2,000 people actually climbed the city tower; however, thousands of escort guards gathered on the west city tower, with extremely fierce offensives, and the attack made the Xiliang defenders retreat step by step and were completely at a disadvantage.
Under the attack of the samurai warriors from both sides, the Xiliang defenders could no longer suppress the Hanzhong army under the city, causing more and more Hanzhong soldiers to climb up the city tower and join the battle. As one goes up and down, the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to the Xiliang army and is in danger.
The reason why the city tower defenders have been able to persist until now is because the new force led by Huang Zhong in the east participated in the battle. Huang Zhong was extremely brave. Not only did he entangle Zhang Chuan, but he also killed and injured the Jaguar warriors in large numbers, greatly boosting the morale of the Jaguar. At the same time, on the city tower in the west, Chen Dao, Cao Xing and Ma Dai led the soldiers to fight bravely, curbing the offensive momentum of the Jaguar warriors again and again, causing the battle to fall into a stalemate and hold on until now.
At the fourth update of the morning, the battle entered a white-hot stage and the battle became more and more fierce. Every moment, hundreds of soldiers of the two armies screamed and died. The Zhajia warriors under Zhang Lu's command fought to the death, while the Xiliang defenders on the city tower had no choice but to retreat and could only fight to the end. To this extent, for the other party, it depends on who can persevere to the end, success or failure.
The entire situation is very unfavorable to the Xiliang army. If we continue fighting, we will not wait for dawn. We are afraid that the Xiliang soldiers on the city tower will be killed or injured. Fa Zheng, Ma Teng, and others who led their troops to guard the stairs were also leading the army to fight with the Hanzhong army who were trying to go downstairs, and both sides were killed or injured.
At this time of crisis, Fa Zheng, Ma Teng, Huang Zhong, Chen Dao and others could only hope that Zhao Yun, who led the unparalleled cavalry out of the city to rob the camp, could return as soon as possible. As long as Zhao Yun led the cavalry to attack Zhang Lu, Zhang Wei and others under the city from behind, Zhang Lu would inevitably be frightened and would withdraw his troops and escape. In this way, the crisis in Chen Cangcheng could be solved, and he could even chase the Hanzhong army in one go and win the final victory.
However, it has been half an hour since the Hanzhong army camp caught fire, but Zhao Yun has not been able to return. It is not difficult to guess that Zhao Yun led his troops to rob the camp at first. However, when he set fire to burn the camp, he encountered the stubborn resistance of the camp. After half an hour of fierce fighting, he still did not completely wipe out the defenders, so the battle was delayed and the battle has not ended yet.
However, if Zhao Yun cannot return in time, Chen Cang City will be in danger and will fall until dawn.
??????????????????
"I am Zhang Chuan, Hanzhong. Who are you?"
Seeing that there were more and more Hanzhong soldiers climbing the city tower, while the fewer and fewer Western Liang defenders were in trouble. The situation was getting better. Zhang Chuan finally stopped dodging and stood in front of Huang Zhong again. This time he seemed to be competing with Huang Zhong, or to hold Huang Zhong back, so that the Zajia warriors and Hanzhong soldiers could let go of their hands and feet to eliminate the defenders, and fight quickly, fearing that they would change if they were late.
"Nanyang Huang Zhong Huang Hansheng."
Huang Zhong waved his sword and killed an armored warrior. He looked at Zhang Chuan, a swordsman in his sixties, and said in a deep voice with disdain: "Wang saw you old and repeatedly showed mercy. He didn't want you, an old man, was ungrateful and was waiting for an opportunity to attack and kill nearly 100 soldiers of our army. He was a cruel and ruthless person. This time, Huang would never show mercy and would definitely kill you under the knife. He avenge the soldiers who died unjustly under your sword!"
Before he finished speaking, Huang Zhong's knife turned sharply, and he instantly swung his sword and said sternly: "Stop talking nonsense. Be dead!"
"Hmph, I'm not very capable, but I'm not very angry! Why am I afraid of you? If I have any ability, just use it!"
Zhang Chuan snorted coldly, stepped forward, and waved his sword to meet him. However, he took this step and seemed to face him head-on, but in fact he turned his body sideways, barely avoiding Huang Zhong's sword slashing straight, and then moved under his feet. Huang Zhong's left side suddenly appeared, and the four-foot sword tip rushed straight to Huang Zhong's left chest and stabbed him.
At the critical moment, Huang Zhong leaned back, bent his body to ninety degrees, and clenched his left hand toward Zhang Kuang's right abdomen. At the same time, he swept his left leg across and attacked Zhang Kuang's lower plate, trying to force him to dodge, and he would definitely get kicked while avoiding his fist.
However, Huang Zhong miscalculated again this time, and his punches and kicks were all gone. Instead, Zhang Kuang swung his sword to cut the armor on his left shoulder, leaving a two-inch-long hole on his shoulder. However, Huang Zhong saw clearly that Zhang Kuang dodged his fists and feet and stabbed him with a sword. However, he saw Zhang Kuang gently tapping his toes at the moment when he fists and feet, and jumping up nearly one meter high, less than three feet from the beam above his head. When he rose up, he flipped in the air. The sword was swinging on his head and the sword tip passed through Huang Zhong's left shoulder, leaving a bloody wound.
Huang Zhong was shocked and shocked in his heart. He couldn't help but put away his contempt and counterattack without hesitation. He saw his right arm swing, and the sword in his palm instantly slashing at Zhang Qiang, who had not yet landed. If this sword hit, it would definitely cut him twice. But Zhang Qiang was not afraid. He saw his long sword piercing diagonally, landing on the sword's surface with extremely precise accuracy. Then the sword edge bent, and Zhang Qiang used the skillful force on the sword edge to fall to the ground, and once again avoided the powerful and heavy knife.
However, Zhang Chuan didn't know that Huang Zhong's sword was just a feint attack. When he fell to the ground, he suddenly heard a strong airflow coming from behind. In an instant, Zhang Chuan tried to dodge, but he could not dodge. He was kicked in the back by Huang Zhong who had jumped up. This kick made Zhang Chuan scream in pain, and fell to the ground, rolled for more than ten steps away, then vomited blood and was seriously injured.
This is the essential difference between the long-standing military general and the Green Forest Ranger. No matter how a ranger's body is agile and how weird the moves are, as long as he is a little lazy, he will be hit by the general and defeat the enemy with one blow.
