"Drink!" Just when Guo Huai felt a little confused, a loud shout rang out. In front of Guo Huai's eyes, a white light flashed, and the two arms that were tightly strangled around Guo Huai's neck flew out.
Immediately afterwards, another foot appeared and kicked directly on the chest of the Wei Army soldier, kicking the Wei Army soldier away. At the same time, a shout sounded: "Brother Bo Ji! How are you? Are you okay?"
Finally freed, Guo Huai immediately sat up, gasping for air and coughing several times. He raised his head and saw that the person who saved him was none other than Wang Shuang, who had gone down to treat the arrow wound. Obviously Wang Shuang.
Shuang had already taken care of his own injuries and hurried over, just in time to save Guo Huai. With Wang Shuang's support, Guo Huai stood up, nodded to Wang Shuang, and said: "
Ziquan! You came just in time! Go to the west gate quickly, the enemy has already divided his forces to attack other gates!"
Wang Shuang had just arrived at the top of the city and was unaware of the changes outside the city. When he heard what Guo Huai said, Wang Shuang's expression also changed. His men killed several Wei soldiers who wanted to make a sneak attack and looked outside the city.
After a few glances, sure enough, there were fewer enemies outside the city. Wang Shuang nodded quickly and shouted: "Okay! Okay! I'll go now! You have to hold on here!" After saying that, Wang Shuang turned around directly.
He rushed to the west of the city, and Guo Huai quickly pointed out 400 people to follow Wang Shuang.
Four hundred people were missing from the city, and the pressure was even greater now. No matter how hard Guo Huai tried, he could not completely block the enemy. The Wei soldiers began to rush to the city and fight with the defenders.
Close combat!
At this point, the officers and soldiers of the Western Qin Army on the top of the city no longer paid attention to any formations. They just went forward to fight with their swords. Even the archers threw aside their long bows.
He held the adapted short blade and buried himself forward. In this kind of hand-to-hand combat, the soldiers on both sides tried their best to use all their strength and all available methods, just to kill one more enemy!
As the commander-in-chief at the east city, Guo Huai was naturally at the forefront! Although Guo Huai was not as powerful as Wang Shuang, he was still a general after all. The single sword in his hand flew up and down, killing many enemies.
! However, Guo Huai killed many enemies, but there were even more enemies rushing to the city. Guo Huai had just killed one enemy, and soon two more Wei soldiers came over with shouts and killed him!
Facing the attacking enemy, Guo Huai just wanted to raise his single sword to fight, but his head suddenly became dizzy and he couldn't even lift his hand. Obviously, after fighting for such a long time, Guo Huai's physical strength has been exhausted.
Some of them couldn't keep up. At this time, the single swords of the two Wei soldiers had already slashed down on Guo Huai. It was too late for Guo Huai to raise the sword stand to block it, so he could only roll on the spot, embarrassed.
He dodged the blow. Fortunately, the dizzy feeling just now was just a temporary reaction. Soon Guo Huai raised his body and slashed each of the two people with a knife!
Although these two people were solved, Guo Huai did not dare to be careless. After the first time, there must be a second and third time. The physical exertion was too great. No matter how good Guo Huai's skills were, he would not be careless.
You will have to die here if you go down!
But do you want to withdraw? Guo Huai took advantage of this gap and looked around, with a wry smile on his face. Even if he wanted to withdraw now, where could he withdraw to? The enemy has now surrounded the entire Shangjun City.
With the current strength of the troops, even if they want to break through, they can't do it! A rough calculation shows that there are only less than a hundred people still fighting at the top of the city, and there are at least more than 100 enemies who have boarded the top of the city.
Thousands of people, not counting the enemies who were climbing outside the city towards the top of the city! The result was already obvious. Guo Huai lost this battle!
Taking a deep breath, Guo Huai took a few steps back, shook his head helplessly, then raised his head again, looking solemnly at the enemy charging ahead, but his eyes became determined again. If you lose, you lose!
The worst possible outcome is death! How can a man be afraid of death when he was born in troubled times? With this life, he can repay his lord's kindness, and Guo Huai will die without regrets!
After confirming his thoughts, Guo Huai no longer had any worries and charged forward again with his sword in hand, as if all his strength had been restored after the short pause just now!
Outside the city, Xiahou Dun, who was still fighting on the city wall, couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many dead soldiers in the Western Qin Dynasty!" From Xiahou Dun's perspective, how could he not see that this battle has been going on since then?
It was a must-win battle from the beginning, but the defenders of Shangjuncheng never gave up from the beginning to the end. From the previous duel between Wang Shuang and the defenders to the death battle, such a battle should have been extremely easy.
The battle was delayed by the opponent for nearly three hours! No wonder the power of Western Qin has become stronger and stronger over the years. With such soldiers, the Western Qin Army deserves to be the strongest army in the world!
"Father!" A cry came from behind Xiahou Dun. Xiahou Dun looked back and saw that it was Xia Houlan who had been injured before and went for treatment. At this moment, Xiahou Lan was no longer seriously injured, but his chest was bandaged with white cloth, and his face looked a little pale.
He was just pale. Walking to Xiahoudun's side, Xiahoulan clasped his fists and saluted, then looked at the city head again and asked: "Father, we should have won this battle, right?"
Xiahoudun nodded, but turned to Xiahoulan and said: "Zi'ang! You were too careless today! If you had paid attention all the time, you would not have fallen into Wang Shuang's plot before! Remember! On the battlefield, at any time,
Accidents may happen, so don’t be careless! You are lucky this time, but next time, it may kill you!"
Xiahou Dun's rebuke made Xiahou Lan's expression change. She quickly got off her horse and knelt down directly in front of Xiahou Dun's horse, saying, "Father taught you right! The child will remember his father's teaching! You will never dare to make a mistake again!"
"Yes!" Xiahou Dun nodded again. Although he had several biological sons under his knees, the one he valued most was his adopted son. As he got older, he might one day be able to fight on the battlefield.
The shrouded corpse was returned. So Xiahou Dun hoped to impart all his life experience to Xiahou Lan so that Xiahou Lan could protect himself on the battlefield in the future. Seeing that Xiahou Lan had listened, Xiahou Dun said no more.
, but pointed at the Western Qin Army who was still resisting on the top of the city and sighed: "The fighting spirit of the Western Qin Army is really too tenacious. In this battle, our losses have greatly exceeded our previous expectations. Now we
At least nearly four thousand soldiers have been sacrificed! This is already the case in Shangjuncheng, and next we have to fight Chang'an City, which will be an even tougher battle!"
"Uh." Hearing what Xiahou Dun said, he didn't seem to have much confidence in this plan. This made Xiahoulan a little surprised. Since he worshiped Xiahou Dun as his adoptive father, he has never seen Xiahou Dun look like this. Xiahou Lan
Lan couldn't help but said anxiously: "Why should father be so worried? It's not that there is something in Chang'an City..."
Before Xia Houlan could finish speaking, Xiahou Dun raised his palms, stopped Xia Houlan's next words, shook his head and said: "The world is unpredictable. If we place all our hopes on those people, our team that goes deep into the enemy's territory will
I'm afraid the lone army won't be able to go back! Forget it, now that we've arrived here, there's nothing more to say. We can only take one step at a time! It seems that the feint attacks at the other three city gates have worked.
We need to take down the east city gate, and then the Shangjun will be conquered!"
Xiahou Dun suddenly changed the topic, leaving Xiahou Lan confused. However, out of his long-standing respect for Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Lan didn't say much. He even said to Xiahou Dun: "Father, you can send someone to inform General Yu."
Go with General Cao!" Yu Jin and Cao Chun were sent by Xiahou Dun to the west and south to intercept the Western Qin's messengers. Now that Shangjun has been captured, they will naturally be notified to come to Shangjun to rest.
Xiahou Dun had no objection to Xiahoulan's suggestion. He just waved his hand and told Xiahoulan to do it himself. Now that the battle situation has been decided, Xiahoudun was thinking about what to do next. This time Cao Cao sent them for a sneak attack.
Chang'an was not completely unprepared. Before that, Cao Cao had contacted a mysterious force that had been lurking in Chang'an for a long time. According to the agreement with them, when Xiahou Dun's troops arrived in Chang'an, this force would help
Xiahou Dun rescued the Han Emperor.
However, just like the attitude shown by Xiahou Dun just now, Xiahou Dun does not trust this mysterious force very much. To put it bluntly, this mysterious force and Cao Cao are just using each other. If there are any unexpected changes, the other party will definitely not hesitate to
Sell it to the Western Qin yourself! From a purely military perspective, Xiahou Dun naturally disagrees with the expedition plan, but in terms of gains and losses, Cao Cao has no choice but to send troops. Just like at the beginning of the year, Sun Ce took the risk
Just like people going to Chang'an to welcome the late emperor, if they don't do anything and just sit back and watch the Western Qin continue to grow stronger, it will be a matter of time before the Guandong princes are annexed! Thinking of this, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but sigh, hoping that this operation will go smoothly!
"Woo——!"
Just when Xiahou Dun was worrying about gains and losses, suddenly, a horn sound came from the north, interrupting Xiahou Dun's thinking. Xiahou Dun looked up to the north in surprise. Could it be that the North City Gate has been breached? Impossible! Others
Xiahou Dun only pretended to attack the three city gates. The purpose was to distract the defenders. There was no reason why Xiahou Dun's main attack on the east gate had not breached the city gate. Instead, it was the north gate that took the lead! Xiahou Dun frowned, and suddenly felt a very unhappy feeling in his heart.
With a good premonition, he shouted to the herald behind him: "Go! Find out immediately what happened to the north!"
