?????????Under this exclamation, as if in a subconscious reaction, without Yang Hong and Gan Ning's orders, countless bowstrings on the city top were pulled open at the same time, and arrows rained down immediately, aiming at Wang Zheng and others.
Shoot away from the slope where the person is.
?????????Unfortunately, the two parties are too far apart. Even if the closest one is shot down, it is still dozens of steps away from the horseback of Wang Zheng and others.
At the same time, when the electric light saw Yang Hong, Huang Zhong's eyes also flashed with murderous intent. He immediately drew out the bow from his waist. Before the electric light disappeared, Huang Zhong fully drew the bow and set it up.
Attach the arrow.
The arrows made a shrill whistle in the night sky, pierced into the sky, and shot straight towards the city head Yang Hong.
?????????Even if they knew Huang Zhong's ability, neither party believed that this arrow could hit Yang Hong. Firstly, the distance was too far, and even if it was powerful enough to shoot close, it might not be able to hit the target accurately. Secondly,
Come
????????There were many generals standing beside Yang Hong.
Sure enough, just when the arrow was about to hit Yang Hong's door, a tall figure suddenly flashed out from the side, and then he raised his armor knife and swung the arrow diagonally.
The arrow immediately deviated from its direction, but it still retained its momentum and plunged into the pillar on the side with a "bang" sound.
?????????"Is there such archery skills in the world?"
????????Seeing this scene, Yang Hong looked a little stunned.
Are you kidding me? They shot from the top of the city, but they were still unable to catch it. But from the opposite side, an arrow shot against the wind not only hit the top of the city, but it seemed that if Gan Ning hadn't pulled the arrow in front of him, he would have been able to hit him.
?????????This terrifying strength and miraculous precision are simply beyond human imagination!
The other generals on the side also looked at each other with horrified expressions. Only Gan Ning looked at the city with a solemn expression, looking at the figure holding the bow beside Wang Zheng, silent.
language.
This was the second time Gan Ning saw such archery skills in a short period of time. He finally knew who the masked man was that day.
????????? People say that Huang Zhong is a good general with swords and bows, and he truly deserves his reputation.
The soldier on the side took off the feathered arrow and came back quickly to present it to Yang Hong. Yang Hong gently stroked the half of the arrowhead, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "This arrow is so evil.
!”
?????????"Everyone who comes to fight in the future must be careful about the enemy general Huang Zhong!"
????????the other side.
?????????Seeing Gan Ning ruining his family's good deeds, Huang Zhong couldn't help but snorted coldly, and turned to Wang Zhengdao: "My lord, if I had known this, I wouldn't have been merciful and spared this guy's life.
."
?????????"Haha, Gan Xingba is also a good general. It is said that he is also good at shooting. In the future battle, you need to be more careful."
????????Wang Zheng smiled, raised his whip and slapped his mount lightly, then turned away. The Xuzhou generals followed him closely, and flew away in a cloud of dust, not to mention returning to the military camp.
An hour later, Wang Xiong personally took command and led a hundred Qingzhou infantry archers outside the west city gate to shoot all the surrender letters into the city.
????????The usual way to defend the city is that all the guards on the city head are arranged according to the team and are guarded by the commander. If there are letters sent by the enemy, they are not allowed to be intercepted privately and must be handed over to the public. After they are collected,
, and then the generals on duty will hand it over to the commander-in-chief. However, private interception is prohibited. If a soldier secretly left a letter and a half, it would be difficult to detect.
????????Nearly a thousand letters of surrender were piled in front of the desk at the Commander's Mansion in the city. Yang Hong and Gan Ning opened several letters respectively. The envelopes were different. Some were addressed to Li Ren, and some were addressed to Li Ren. There was even a letter addressed to Gan Ning, signed by Wang Zheng, and actually addressed to Yang Hong himself by name.
Yang Hong and Gan Ning looked at each other. No one else knew what they were thinking. Gan Ning laughed and said, "This is a divorce plan. Wang Yukou, a brat, actually wants to use this." To undermine the morale of our army and cause suspicion between us is really ridiculous!"
Yang Hong nodded and echoed: "Such a clumsy plan is indeed extremely ridiculous."
Li Ren on the side read the letter thoughtfully for a while, then raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Strange, why didn't you write it to Gu Yong?"
?????????"Brother Yuantan is loyal and brave, and he is a great sage and understands the righteousness deeply," Yang Hong said: "Perhaps Shuzi knew that he could not instigate rebellion, so he simply didn't write it?"
????????"otherwise."
Li Ren shook his head and said: "Yang Jijiu, you are the king's mastermind. As time goes by, you gain more trust. If it is difficult to instigate rebellion, Jijiu is better than Gu Yong, but there are some Why do you sacrifice wine without caring about Yong?"
???????Yes, no matter how good Gu Yong's reputation is, after all, he has just joined Yuan Shu, can it be said that Yang Hong is not as loyal to Yuan Shu as Gu Yong? This is unreasonable.
Gan Ning was stunned when he heard this. He stood up and walked around the room twice: "Yes, why didn't you write it to Mr. Gu County? Huh? Yang Jijiu, are you there? What are you looking at? Such concentration."
????????"nothing."
Yang Hong pretended to smile and calmly packed up the letter he had just picked up. In his haste, he failed to fold the letter. The candlelight flickered and illuminated the letter. A few lines of words.
????????He wrote to Gan Ning and signed it to the King of Xuzhou. The content of the letter was that as long as Gan Ning was willing to surrender and presented Yang Hong's head, he would be done in the future and he could choose a county in Yangzhou as his successor. Governor, and promised not to take away his military power.
When Yang Hong returned to Shouchun from Hefei that day, he sent someone to know about it. At the banquet that day, both Gu Yong and Gan Ning took the initiative to agree with Yuan Shu's Northern Expedition!
????????As for whether he was deceived and provoked by others, or whether he had a secret conspiracy with Wang Zheng, no one knows.
Under the dark clouds and thunder, everyone in the candlelight had different expressions.
????????Early the next morning, the Xuzhou army launched its first offensive. As the location of the attack, Wang Zheng chose the most heavily defended east city gate in Shouchun. Wei Yan and Zhou Tai also volunteered to participate in the first wave of attack. , Huang Zhong, Qiao Wan and others led the cavalry and lined up on both sides to suppress the formation.
????????From the moment the war started, it fell directly into a fierce battle.
?????????The guard at the east city gate asked Gan Ning three times for help in less than two quarters of an hour. The battle was not completed until noon, and the city wall collapsed in two places. Zhou Tai and Wei Yan took turns leading their troops to charge into the city, mainly attacking the city gate, but See the red flag fluttering, arrows like locusts, fireworks filling the air, and the sound of killing shaking the sky.
Huang Zhong and Qiao Wan led thousands of cavalry. They not only held down the formation for the infantry, but also approached the city from time to time, shooting arrows from above, assisting the infantry's archers and trebuchets to suppress Shouchun.
The army's long-range offensive.
After all, the Xuzhou Army came from afar and only rested for one night. Their strength could not be fully restored. By the afternoon of the battle, their stamina was slightly lacking.
?????????However, Wang Zheng's commanding flag did not retreat even half a step, and everyone moved the flag like a revolving lantern, one moment in front, the other behind, fighting endlessly.
The enemy's offensive was so fierce that Gan Ning of the Shouchun army could not sit still. He had already boarded the city in person and commanded the troops in front of the enemy, risking their lives.
?????????The defensive force of the East City Gate is originally the strongest, but Wang Zheng had a premeditated plan when he ordered Wu Sheng, Huang Zhong and others to stay in Hefei, and actually created countless plots under the nose of the enemy.
They brought too many siege equipment, ladders, trebuchets, and even crossbows. In addition, the soldiers of the Heavenly Army were not afraid of death, and Huang Zhong and other generals did not retreat even slightly from the beginning of the battle. The three armies
The combined attack was so fierce that the East City Gate seemed to collapse at every turn.
Gan Ning did not dare to neglect, so he had to mobilize many other garrison guards at the other city gates one after another. The generals were holding them back. The enemy and we were evenly matched. The battle under the east city gate entered a long tug-of-war.
Countless flesh and blood were stirred up and spilled.
The soldiers' cries of killing suppressed the thunder, and their sweat made the air even more humid. The corpses of those killed in battle filled the city walls, and blood flowed into rivers. The trebuchets from both sides were shooting
There are depressions all over the city wall and the ground, and the tattered flags and the city tops complement each other. Under the city wall, the flag bearers with their faces stained with dust and blood are scrambling to climb the ladder to grab the glory of being the first to reach the city.
????????As the battle approached evening, there was a sudden loud cheer on the top of the city. The soldiers on both sides looked around and shouted at the same time, but one cheered with excitement, while the other sighed with depression, but it was Xuzhou
Someone here finally climbed to the top of the city.
????????It’s Wei Yan!
Wei Yan is accustomed to using long knives, but today he chose a spear made of fine iron. He was already very strong, so in his hands, this spear was more likely to be smashed or smashed with brute force.
Sweep, no matter whether the enemy is with a sword or a spear, he will smash them all indiscriminately, and he will be invincible for a while.
????????There was a general in Yangzhou who relied on his bravery and came to stop him with his spear. Wei Yan shouted loudly and dodged the long spear that was thrust at him. He jumped suddenly, jumped up high, raised his spear and dropped it.
, just like hitting a watermelon with a hammer, the man's head was immediately beaten to pieces, and the blood burst out and splashed out.
????????Another silver-armored general arrived and shouted: "Come on, general."
????????? Before he finished speaking, Wei Yan glanced back with his iron spear before turning his head back. Like a whip, he directly knocked the general into the air and fell straight to the bottom of the city. The general's face showed horror.
With a look of disbelief, his mouth still opened and closed to ask the last two words: "Who is it?"
?????????"That's right, Gongyiyang Wei Wenchang!"
Seeing Wei Yan's bravery, all the soldiers on the city wall, regardless of whether they were friends or foes, were horrified. Following the silver-armored general came a man dressed as a captain.
The situation was not going well, so he turned around and ran away. How could Wei Yan allow him to run away? With his left foot, he gently picked up the spear of the first slain general on the ground, turned sideways, and threw it with all his strength, hitting the fleeing captain in the back.
????????The chest and back of the captain's battle suit was inlaid with an arrow-proof breast shield, which showed that the armor had good defense. However, Wei Yan couldn't help it because of his strong strength, and could only hear a series of crisp "clicks". The spear pierced the goggles, followed by another scream, but the force of the spear did not fade, and directly penetrated the captain's entire body, revealing his chest, and he saw that he could not survive.
????????? Wei Yan still refused to let him go. He rushed forward and before he fell down, he lashed out with his spear and beat the man's head to pieces.
The spear was meant for stabbing, but this was the first time that everyone saw someone using it as a whip and hammer. For a moment, everyone on the defender side was horrified and shouted in horror: "Where is it?" The vicious person who came here is so cruel!"
?????????The Xuzhou Army came to their senses and cheered even more loudly: "Little Guan Yu! Little Guan Yu!"
????????Since Hulao Pass, Guan Yu's reputation has spread all over the world. Wei Yan, like Guan Yu, has a face as thick as a jujube and loves to use long swords, so he got this nickname among the Xuzhou army at some time.
?????????Hearing this, Wei Yan's face twitched slightly, but he was not happy but angry. If others were called like this, they might feel very proud, but who is Wei Yan? He has the same arrogant temperament. , are you willing to accept such nicknames?
????????Besides, even if you say it's Xiao Huang Zhong, I'll admit it, Guan Yu? That's Liu Bei's subordinate. He was once an enemy of Wang Zhoumu, killed Zhang Rao, and was hated by the direct descendants of the Heavenly Army. .
????????Aren’t you calling me such a name a source of trouble for me?
?????????This made Wei Yan's thoughts become even more determined: From now on, the long sword must never be used again!
?????????Wei Yan attacked the city head and killed three Shouchun generals in the blink of an eye. The soldiers who were guarding the city came up one after another, and gradually they were about to establish a position at the city head. Someone on the side was annoyed, With a face as black as iron and a beard like a hedgehog, it was Liang Gang, the Runan general who had almost come to blows with Zhou Tai at the banquet that day!
?????????"You thief, I will kill you!"
?????????Liang Gang shouted wildly as he rushed over, raised his sword and chopped off the general. Wei Yan sneered, raised the spear casually, and bravely faced it, only to hear a loud "bang" sound. , he obviously had an advantage in weapons, but in the end, in such a head-on confrontation, Liang Gang's sword was broken, and his whole body was hit so hard that he took a few steps back.
?????????"With this little ability, how dare you speak so loudly?"
Wei Yan sneered, then shouted loudly, and stabbed out with a spear. The spear bent from the inside, drawing an extremely sharp straight line. The force was so fierce that it even brought out a shrill scream, It rises through the sky, but its momentum can already make the three armies overcome difficulties!
?????????The spear thrust was too fast and fierce, and its momentum was even more shocking. Liang Gang was just confused for a moment, and the sharp blade actually hit his face!
?????????My life is over
?????????Liang Gang sighed deeply in his heart. Just when he was about to close his eyes and die, he suddenly saw a strong force coming from behind him and pushed him aside. Immediately, a cold blade suddenly appeared, and he A sharp rainbow rippled under the gloomy sky, blocking Wei Yan's fatal blow head-on!
?????????But it was Gan Ning who saw Liang Gang in danger and jumped over at the critical moment, drawing his sword to help.
?????????"Gan Xingba? You came at the right time!"
?????????Seeing Gan Ning show up, Wei Yan's eyes flashed fiercely, and he was very excited.
?????????He has heard of this person's name, and even Huang Zhong once said in private that Wang Zheng had a love for his talents. When he thought of this, Wei Yan's heart became hot, and he immediately
He ignored Liang Gang, brandished his spear, and charged forward, thinking that if he could capture Gan Ning alive, it would be a great achievement.
?????????This is because Wei Yan is too trusting. You must know that spears are not his usual weapons. It is no problem when facing people like Liang Gang, but it is different when facing Gan Ning.
Even if they fight each other without knowing who will win, he has already thought about how to capture him alive. Doesn't this mean that he has tied his own hands and feet from the beginning?
Sure enough, when faced with this powerful and heavy spear, Liang Gang panicked, but Gan Ning showed a confident smile on his face. He could tell from this blow that Wei Yan was not
He is good at using the spear, but it is difficult to turn and has many flaws. He only needs to gently reach out to grasp the spear body firmly.
????????While Wei Yan was in shock, he even looked at the knife. The knife followed the man and was fired towards the door in front of Wei Yan.
????????? Wei Yan missed a single blow, and his momentum suddenly weakened by three points. As the sound of gold and iron rang out one after another, the two of them suddenly separated. They had fought as fast as lightning for more than a dozen rounds.
The soldiers could not see clearly, let alone tell who was victorious and who was defeated.
Wei Yan's spear was still pointed at the opponent, but his face suddenly turned pale, and big beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. With a burst of shaking, the spear was propped on the ground, and then the left shoulder of the armor sneered.
When he pulled it open, a neat and deep blood mark was revealed, which penetrated into his bones and flesh. It was obvious that in the fight just now, he was at a disadvantage and was stabbed by Gan Ning.
?????????"For the sake of your disdain for Guan Yu, I will spare you a life today."
Gan Ning sneered, then looked around and asked, "Can you see the enemy general Huang Zhong?"
The soldiers around him shook their heads to express their ignorance. Gan Ning stopped staying and strode towards other places where the fight was taking place.
?????????This guy actually looks down on me so much?
Wei Yan is so proud by nature. Gan Ning did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him, but in his opinion, he completely ignored him and regarded him as a threat. In a mixture of shame and anger, he couldn't help but roared,
