With the light boats and bamboo rafts, the knights covered in black cloth landed on theshore one after another.
But after they landed, they neither set up flags nor made subsequent dispatches. So to outsiders, Ji Nancheng had no change.
There is still fierce battle in Jiangling City, and both sides know nothing about it.
The battle sequence and command system of the Jiangling defenders were already in chaos after the Jiangdong army entered the city. Lei Yuan could only temporarily assign officers from the constantly gathering defenders, and then directly dispatched them forward.
Although such troops were determined to die, their combat command was inevitable. Under the strong attack of Lingtong's troops, they all collapsed. In a moment, the four teams in front and behind were all defeated. Sima and five Dubos, who led the troops, were all killed in battle, and none of them retreated.
Huo Cun stepped out of the line: "General, I'll go and meet the enemy!"
Since the initial breakthrough of the vertical cavalry was blocked, most of the knights had dismounted and fought in the field except for a few. In this regard, the Qiang and Hu cavalry under Ma Dai lost their courage after dismounting, and were not as good as Huo Cun's troops.
Lei Yuan nodded slightly: "Gather the troops and wait for my order."
At the moment, the two of them met, and Ling Tong broke through several formations and shouted forward.
However, just as they rushed past the edge of a Lifang, more than 20 crossbowmen suddenly appeared on the wall of Lifang. What they held was not ordinary crossbows, but the waist-pulling crossbow they did not know where the city platform was used for the army to fight or defend the city!
More than twenty powerful crossbows' bowstrings were flexing the air at the same time, making a muffled sound, even though they were far away, it made people feel uncomfortable in the eardrum. The heavy crossbow arrow shot out by the powerful crossbow suddenly penetrated into the Jiangdong armored soldiers' queue.
There were about ten soldiers in the front row dodging without rushing, and were shot directly.
At this distance, the power of the heavy crossbow arrow is extremely powerful, and even heavy armor cannot resist it. When the crossbow arrow enters the chest, the chest penetrates, and when the crossbow arrow enters the abdomen, the abdomen runs through. The huge cluster of arrows brings out pieces of flesh and internal organs, and can shoot through the armor of the latter!
But these soldiers are really worthy of the elites in Jiangdong. They are worthy of being the strong soldiers selected by Wu Hou from the five schools to compensate Ling Tong. They are worthy of being the strong soldiers Ling Tong believes that they can fight against the Iron Cavalry! The dead man fell to the ground, the injured man said nothing, while the rest of the people seemed to be iron streams, surrounded by Ling Tong and still attacked!
Lei Yuan was slightly stunned and then said, "Ji Si, it's your turn to."
Huo Cun walked forward.
Lei Yuan looked around at the sky, because there were corners and eaves on all sides, and the sky was not visible, so he could only estimate that the sunset had probably set. Looking up, he saw a crescent moon that had appeared in the sky. However, because there was still bright colors in the clouds, the sky was not particularly dark compared to the day.
Jiangdong transferred the crossbowman and shot wildly into the Lifang. Lei Yuan also gathered the crossbowman in his own side and shot to cover him. The crossbowman on both sides took advantage of the bright colors of the last two minutes to output killing.
Huo Cun and Ling Tong were hitting arrows while running. In the blink of an eye, only when Lei Yuan saw him, he saw seventeen or eighteen subordinates of Huo Cun fell to the ground. Some of them were injured in their faces and died on the spot. Some were caught in the body. At first, in order not to affect morale, they gritted their teeth and kept silent, but then the pain came, and they couldn't control their screams and moans.
There are a few people who were shot in the arrow, who were specially recommended by Huo Jun when Lei Yuan and Huo Jun were interacting with each other, and they were all the real backbone of the Huo family in Zhijiang.
But at this time, human life is just a number, every life has value, and every life has no value.
Huo Cun sideways avoided a short spear that was flying over, then swung the hook inlay on his left arm, locking a short halberd that almost pierced the face. The Cao army soldiers holding the halberd were about to retreat, and Huo Cun's long axe on his right arm had arrived, and with a puff sound, the heavy axe slashed into the Cao army soldiers' pockets, cutting the entire brain from the middle into two left and right sections.
Huo Cun did not try to pull out the long axe, nor did he retreat, but only shouted sternly: "Come on the knife!"
When Huo Cun was in the battle, he always had two personal soldiers following him. The two men were to cover Huo Cun's back and flanks, and the other was to carry a number of weapons with him for Huo Cun to use.
The next person came, pulled out a long sword on his back, and held the knife in both hands to serve. Huo Cun took the long sword, twisted his waist and cut horizontally. When the shiny blade arrived, blood gushed out, and another Wu army soldier's head was easily cut off.
Huo Cun's reputation and status are far inferior to his brother Huo Jun, but anyone familiar with the situation in the Huo family in Zhijiang knows that Huo Jun used troops among thousands of mountains and valleys in Zitong County that day. Thanks to Huo Cun's attacks and defeats his sharp attacks, he repeatedly killed enemy warriors in complex terrain.
This time, Jiangdong was defeated by the alliance, Huo Jun could not even move even if he defended Yi, but sent Huo Cun out, which gave Huo Cun the opportunity to make a real contribution in the war!
Huo Cun succeeded with one knife, never delayed and immediately retreated.
Two entourages on both sides raised their shields at the same time to block a Cao army warrior who was slashing at him with a knife.
Both sides of the shield were large covered wooden shields. When they both faced each other, the Cao army warriors were immediately blocked from their sight. Huo Cun immediately stopped exerting force, held the long knife in his hands and stabbed it deeply into the enemy's side abdomen.
After stabbing it in, he did not rush to draw the sword, but instead stirred the blade in the man's stomach. The Cao army warrior didn't even see the enemy's appearance clearly, and the pain in his abdomen was unbearable. He screamed in shock and fell to the ground with his stomach in his arms.
Huo Cunqin went up again.
At this time, another Jiangdong soldier came in front of him. Huo Cun shouted and slashed with a knife.
The soldier waved his sword and flirted with each other, and his heavy swords hit him violently.
Huo Cun only felt a huge force coming, his arms were numb, and his long sword flew out of his hand. He was shocked and suspected that he had fought all day long, and his physical strength was not as strong as his peak.
The soldier stepped forward and slashed again. The entourage behind Huo Cun rushed forward and blocked Huo Cun and was killed on the spot.
Huo Cun tried his best to stop and was about to rush forward, but he saw that the soldiers on the left and right roads could no longer hold on and retreated one after another. With Huo's elite troops fighting in the front row, they were almost completely damaged.
The armored soldier took back the long sword in his hand, wiped the armored leaves on his left arm, and took off the blood foam and flesh and bones stuck on the knife. The sound of killing dozens or hundreds of people around him shook the sky, and blood lights rose and fell one after another. He looked at Huo Cun and said sternly: "I am the general Ling Tong, who are you?"
Huo Cun shouted: "Zhijiang Huo Jisi is here!"
"Unknown General!" Ling Tong sneered and pointed in front of the knife: "Care with me!"
The next moment, the two armies collided again.
Ling Tong's eight hundred soldiers had a strong advantage in street fighting. Their iron armor was better than Huo Cun's armour, and the weapons used to form formations and infantry battles were more suitable than the cavalry and swords and guns of Huo Cun's army. In a blink of an eye, they launched an offensive that was higher and higher than that of Huo Cun's army, forcing Huo Cun's army to retreat continuously. Any warriors who wanted to stop in place to resist to the death, or who had no time to evacuate were killed on the spot.
In an instant, Ling Tong and others advanced hundreds of steps, pushing the fierce confrontation line from near the southern gate of Jiangling back to the open area in front of the front general's mansion. The Jingzhou defenders who were killed along the way became so crowded that those who followed him later could not gain a foothold unless they stepped on the body.
The soldiers who had originally fired the waist-induced crossbow on the wall of Lifang came out and shot a few arrows again, but they could no longer stop the powerful Wu army.
Ling Tong's brave actions of the soldiers also drove the morale of the Wu army on both sides of Jiangling City and the camps everywhere in the city.
Many people were shouting: "General Ling Tong is on the battlefield! General Ling Tong defeated the enemy and is pursuing him!"
