"The crossbowmen suppressed the enemy troops and climbed into the city."
"The rest..."
Suddenly, a sonorous voice sounded from the rear of the army: "Follow me, besiege this thief, and kill this beast at all costs."
The Xiliang warriors responded in unison: "Promise."
At this moment, they seemed to have a backbone, their expressions suddenly changed, and even their eyes changed significantly. The previous fear disappeared and was replaced by murderous aura.
But see...
The crossbowmen in the team abandoned themselves and moved closer to both sides, trying to suppress the soldiers climbing on the ladder behind them from both the left and right directions.
You must know that there were originally two crossbowmen responsible for suppressing the ladder, but now there are several more people. The opponent obviously wants to isolate themselves and concentrate their superior forces to eliminate their own rhythm.
"Damn it!"
Zhang Liao secretly thought something was wrong.
If you defend passively, you will probably be worn down by the opponent bit by bit.
At this moment, we must not follow the rules, we must break through the rules and take the initiative.
Only in this way can the pressure on soldiers climb the ladder be reduced, thereby truly tearing open the gap in the defense of Zhuanguan City.
Zhang Liao's eyes flashed, his knees slightly bent, and while kicking the ground fiercely, his body jumped out like a cannonball.
He danced the long spear with his left hand, and the cold spear was like a meteor piercing the night. A bit of cold light passed by, easily piercing the flesh and blood of the Xiliang soldiers, and passing through the vital points of their chests.
This isn't the end yet.
Zhang Liao didn't give the opponent a chance to react. He poured all his spiritual power into his left arm and with a fierce swing, he threw the corpse on the spear away while avoiding the Xiliang soldiers on the left.
at the same time.
He dashed forward with an arrow, and the iron halberd in his right hand swung out a cold light in the air, knocking the head of the Xiliang warrior who had not yet made a move. The bright red juice rose up like a fountain, and a headless corpse collapsed.
.
certainly!
These minions are not Zhang Liao's target at all.
The moment he cleared the obstacles on the road, he continued to take two steps forward, and the blood-stained spear was like red lightning, piercing straight towards Li Meng who was running towards him with lightning speed.
Li Meng's expression suddenly changed.
He didn't seem to think of it either.
The traitorous general in front of him actually dared to go deep alone, take the initiative to attack, and if he didn't take action, he would target him as soon as he took action. He was really audacious!
Li Meng subconsciously raised his knife to block.
The moment the swords collided, sparks burst out.
There was a deafening golden roar and a loud explosion.
Dang~~~
Li Meng gritted his teeth and roared: "Oh~~"
He felt as if he had hit a big mountain, his two thick and powerful arms seemed to be broken, and his body felt like he had been hit by a heavy hammer. His internal organs could not help churning, and his throat felt sweet, wow.
Spurting out a mouthful of twenty-year-old blood.
Tread! Tread! Tread!
Li Meng couldn't bear such terrifying power and took several steps back before being supported by the soldiers chasing him from behind.
But......
In the blink of an eye.
Zhang Liao walked vigorously like flying, with strange steps on his feet, and once again lunged forward a certain distance.
At the same time, the iron halberd in his right hand moved like thunder, and at an extremely strange angle, it skillfully passed the blade of Xiliang's elite, leaving a clearly visible blood mark on Li Meng's neck.
Pfft~~
Li Meng didn't even feel the pain.
He just widened his eyes and stared in disbelief at the bright red blood spurting out from the carotid artery in his neck. His eyes were full of unwillingness and regret. If he had not underestimated the enemy, how could he have been killed by the opponent's blow.
Li Meng wanted to fight back.
But......
The strength in his arms drained out like a tide.
The Huanshou sword, which was usually like a fire stick, was now as heavy as a stone and could not be lifted at all.
He could only open his eyes and stare at Zhang Liao, changing from color to black and white little by little, and then completely disappeared from sight and ceased to exist.
However......
Even if Li Meng was killed with a halberd, Zhang Liao was not excited at all.
Even at the moment when he was sure that Li Meng was dead, he shifted his attention to the Xiliang soldiers around him. He had a spear in his left hand and an iron halberd in his right hand.
Just when Zhang Liao was ready to kill.
suddenly.
A rough voice sounded from outside the city: "How long does it take for the general to abandon me?"
Zhang Liao killed a Xiliang soldier with a halberd. He suddenly turned his head and looked back. Only then did he realize that the gap was blocked and the soldiers below were blocked from attacking the city.
He turned back to fight again and let out a roar of thunder: "Zhang Liao of Yanmen is here, anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Phew! Phew! Phew!
The blade of the halberd flew and blood splashed everywhere.
The fierce soldiers of Xiliang all around were so frightened that they fled away from each other and dared not fight again.
Zhang Liao rushed to the outer wall, took out the spear and iron halberd in his palm, and killed several crossbowmen. The rest of the Xiliang soldiers were all pissed and fled away.
The soldiers and horses outside the city were very happy to see Zhang Liao again. They raised their swords and rushed up to the top of the city: "The general is brave and invincible. I admire him so much."
Zhang Liao glanced at the other party and said coldly: "Don't say more, just stay here and I will stop the reinforcements."
The soldier nodded and said, "Don't worry, General, leave it to the villain."
outside the city.
Watching the soldiers ascending to the top of the city one by one.
Xun Yu's hanging heart was completely relieved.
Zhang Liao's bravery far exceeded his expectations. If he had not made a decisive decision in this battle, led his troops to attack the city in time, and climbed to the city in a very short time, it would have been difficult to conquer Zhuang Pass before nightfall.
But it's better this time.
The siege situation was completely open, and then there would be a steady stream of soldiers and horses rushing to the top of the city. There was only one way to wait for Li Jue, so he retreated in panic in order to protect himself.
Xun Yu glanced past Zhang Liao and looked at Li Jue who was directing the battle.
At this moment, a soldier hurriedly came to report: "Captain, something serious has happened. Li Sima died in the battle. Our people fled one after another. The thieves have already attacked the city and are coming to kill here."
"What?"
Li Jue was stunned for a moment and raised his eyes to look into the distance.
But see...
Zhang Liao took the lead and charged and fought fiercely. Behind him, a group of elite soldiers followed closely.
Although the time was short, all Xiliang soldiers along the way were killed, and less than half of the city had fallen into the hands of the opponent. When the opponent had an absolute advantage in terms of strength, if they continued to fight fiercely, they would definitely end in death.
Li Jue thought he could hold out until dark.
But I never thought that the opponent's combat power was too strong. Not only did they get there first in a short time, they also killed Li Meng as quickly as possible and successfully took control of the left city head.
The situation is over and there is no way to turn it around.
Although Li Jue was furious in his heart, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and order: "Quickly send the money to withdraw the troops and rush to Wancheng. At the same time, send someone to send a message to Niu Fu. If Zhuang Pass is lost, quickly return reinforcements."
The Xiliang soldiers cupped their hands and clasped their fists: "No."
Immediately.
Jingle bell bell~~~
The golden sound sounded.
The Xiliang soldiers who were fighting fiercely turned their heads and looked back.
Li Jue waved his hand fiercely and shouted loudly:
"Withdraw your troops quickly and rush back to Wancheng."
