Lü Bu led these thirteen thousand people and traveled to remote places. He was not in a hurry. When he was still more than thirty miles away from Xiangyang, he found a valley and ordered all the soldiers to dismount and rest and eat some dry food.
, drinking horses, preparing for the final sprint. Because he was worried that the sent out horses would fall into the eyes of interested people and reveal his whereabouts, so along the way, Lu Bu did not send anyone to explore the road and conduct reconnaissance. However,
, no one came to question them along the way, and some people even took the initiative to send some food. Therefore, in Lu Bu's imagination, his trick of concealing the truth was a great success, and Xiangyang, known as the city that never sleeps, must be defenseless now.
The sun always sets later than usual in summer, but Lu Bu couldn't wait for it to get dark, so he jumped up from the ground. With a whistle, the red rabbit and horse ran over, and Lu Bu turned over.
, pointed Fang Tian's painted halberd in the direction of Xiangyang City, and shouted loudly: "Children, thirty miles south from here is the prosperous Xiangyang City, where there are countless gold, silver and jewels waiting for you to get it.
There are countless beauties waiting for you to enjoy, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and pick up your bows and arrows, hold on to your steel knives, charge, kill, and be their masters!"
These Xiliang soldiers and the Flying Bear Army, tempted by the beautiful blueprint drawn by Lu Bu, jumped on their horses one after another, let out strange screams, and ran all the way towards Xiangyang City.
For these Xiliang horses, the distance of thirty miles came in an instant. Soon, they were only three to five miles away from the moat. The brightly lit Xiangyang City had already appeared in front of them, and they could see the moat in the distance.
The city gate on the side was still wide open, and there were still people coming and going in and out leisurely.
Seeing success right in front of him, Lu Bu couldn't help but be ecstatic and shouted: "Children, speed up and kill!"
"Charge!" "Kill!"
Waves of shouts resounded through the sky. Thirteen thousand cavalry divided into three streams and rushed toward the three bridges on the moat. In the middle were Lu Bu and three thousand flying bear troops, and on both sides were Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Hao
The Xiliang cavalry led by each of them.
Suddenly, the cavalry at the front fell off their horses one after another, and large and small pits were exposed on the ground. These pits were either open or dark. If you stepped into them accidentally, your horse would stumble, and it was inevitable for the cavalry to fall. However,
This was just the beginning. Many people jumped out of some deep pits. They were the Han army recruits who had been ambushing here in advance. The Han army infantry rushed towards the Xiliang cavalry who fell off their horses and used their swords to attack them.
Chopping, stabbing with spears, and frantically harvesting their lives before they could react.
However, the new recruits who were ambushing in the middle were not so lucky. What broke through the middle was Dong Zhuo's most elite unit, the Flying Bear Army. These Flying Bear Army were extremely brave. Even if they fell off their horses, they could quickly launch a counterattack. A flying bear army
The soldiers of the Xiong Army had almost no fear in the face of dozens or twenty recruits, and could even gain the upper hand. If they fought with swords and guns, these recruits would definitely not be the opponents of the Flying Bear Army. I don’t know who was the first.
With a loud shout, he rushed forward and hugged the fallen soldiers of the Flying Bear Army, biting them with their teeth and butting them with their heads. The other recruits immediately followed suit and clung to these brave and clever soldiers of the Flying Bear Army.
Some soldiers picked up their swords and guns and stabbed these flying bear soldiers indiscriminately, even if they hurt their own comrades.
This desperate fighting style shocked the large group of cavalry that followed, and the cavalry's galloping momentum paused obviously. Lu Bu saw it from behind and said loudly: "Children, don't be afraid. They are risking their lives like this, which shows that the city is empty."
, rush in, everything inside is yours!"
His shouting quickly had an effect, and many people recalled Lu Bu's very inflammatory mobilization before setting off. The cavalrymen suddenly became red-eyed and urged their horses one after another, regardless of the calmness of their comrades in front.
The Han army recruits who were lying in ambush in the pit struggled with each other and ran directly over them. The scuffled Han army recruits, the Xiliang cavalry who fell off their horses, and the Flying Bear Army warriors were all bowled over in an instant.
The big-mouthed horses' hooves trampled them into flesh, making them indistinguishable.
Faced with such a tragic scene, these Han army recruits who had only been in the army for more than half a year were not intimidated. None of the 10,000 people hiding in the pit flinched. They jumped out of the pit one after another and fought to the death with the enemy.
They fought until they disappeared in the rolling torrent of cavalry. These young soldiers may not have mastered their martial arts, or they may not have learned how to maneuver the battle formation, but their will is already stronger than steel.
Ma Yun, who refused to listen to the dissuasion of Ju Shuo, Tian Feng and others, insisted on watching the battle on the top of the city, couldn't help but shed tears when she saw this scene. Those were ten thousand living lives, and they were still so young.
, but he was willing to sacrifice himself for the people in this city without hesitation.
The earth-shattering shouts of killing outside the city had already alarmed the people in the city. Many people were hiding in panic, while more people rushed to the city gate and asked to help defend the city. Faced with the people's requests, Ma Yun
She did not agree, but sent people over to reassure her again and again. These people were unarmed and had no martial arts skills, so letting them go to the city would not be of much use. She did not want the people to make unnecessary sacrifices.
Moreover, after seeing the brutal battle just now, Ma Yun firmly believed that Xiangyang City could definitely be defended. Although the hope of surviving the 10,000 new soldiers in the ambush and trap formation was very slim, the casualties of Lu Bu's Xiliang soldiers would not be
There were less than 6,000 people, and even the most powerful Flying Bear Soldiers lost at least around 1,000 people. The remaining 7,000 people wanted to attack Xiangyang, which has a tall city and a vast pool. It was nothing more than a dream. Ma Yun turned her head.
He ordered: "Inform the soldiers not to close the city gate. Tell the people in the city that the enemy cannot even get close to the city wall, so we have not even closed the city gate to reassure everyone."
Ma Yun is confident now. Xiangyang's moat is 200 meters wide and relies on three bridges for people to pass. Even if you have thousands of troops, you will inevitably have to squeeze on this single wooden bridge. Arrangements have already been made on the city wall.
Countless bows and arrows were aimed at these three bridges. As long as Xiliang Hou stepped into the shooting range, he would definitely end up with thousands of arrows piercing his heart. What's more, there were 23,000 ambushes on the other side of the moat, including 3,000.
Humans are the most elite flying tiger guards. Of course, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Since the soldiers defending the city are not equipped with strong bows, such a wide moat not only blocks the enemy troops, but also "protects" the enemy troops in the defensive area.
out of range of the city soldiers.
After suffering heavy casualties, Lu Bu's cavalry finally passed the pit formation. They could already see countless torches and lanterns lit on both sides of the moat, illuminating the night like day. Lu Bu waved the Fangtian painted halberd forward in his palm.
, said loudly: "Children, Xiangyang City is right in front of us, rush across the river, rob their wealth, and possess their women! Kill!"
With bursts of "ouch" sounds, the Xiliang cavalry rushed to the moat. However, a shocking scene occurred. Before they could approach the bridge, many cavalry fell off their horses. It turned out that Xiliang
The cavalrymen were only looking at the brightly lit Xiangyang City, but they did not notice that there were many people ambushing them by the moat. This was probably the so-called darkness under the lights. The moment the cavalrymen rushed over, the ambush soldiers all stood up, and with one hand they
Holding a steel knife and holding a tough hemp rope with one hand, nearly ten thousand ropes were entangled with each other, forming a huge network. The cavalry, which had consciously slowed down because it was near the river, was suddenly trapped in a tight siege.
A fierce hand-to-hand battle was going on by the moat. The dismounted cavalry were quickly surrounded by new Han army troops ambushing by the river. They were chopped into pieces before they had time to react. Those soldiers who were still on their horses were also not able to react.
No matter how lucky they are, the war horses have been tightly entangled with these hemp ropes and have lost the advantage of impact. Their combat effectiveness is not much better than these new recruits. However, in the middle of the entire battlefield, there is a different scene. There
There were also two thousand of the most elite flying bear soldiers. Except for a few who fell to the ground and were seriously injured or killed under the trampling of their horses, the others abandoned their horses and entered the infantry battle without any instructions. These flying bear soldiers
Each of the Xiong soldiers held sharp axes and long knives. Facing the swarming Han army recruits, with a small number of enemies and a large number, they actually pushed towards the bridge step by step with very small casualties. And those Han army recruits were flying in these
In front of Xiong Jun, he was like a child facing a giant, with almost no power to fight back. The sharp ax and long knife in Fei Xiong Jun's hand flew up and down, and dealing with these Han army recruits was like chopping melons and vegetables, causing a wave of chaos wherever they passed.
It was a bloody storm. Although these Han army recruits had already put their life and death at risk and rushed forward one after another, they were just like moths rushing to the flame, never to return.
At this critical moment, a sudden shout was heard, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and a black-faced man brandished a broadsword and strode into the formation. Wherever the broadsword touched, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and there were broken arms everywhere.
Stumped limbs. Following the order, the Han army recruits retreated to both sides like a tide, looking for those Xiliang cavalry to fight. I saw another yellow-faced man, waving a pair of huge iron halberds in his hands, and carrying three
Thousands of Shengli troops rushed into the battle formation. Each of these three thousand Shengli soldiers carried a thick iron rod, and when they encountered the Flying Bear Army, they smashed them indiscriminately.
As Xu Chu and Dian Wei led the Flying Tiger Guards to join the battle group, the situation on the battlefield was reversed. The Flying Tiger Guards and the Flying Bear Army were both rare elite divisions of that era. Their combat effectiveness was between equals, and both were capable.
They advance without retreating and are not afraid of death. However, Feihu's personal guards have Dian Wei and Xu Chu taking the lead. Their morale is high and they have an advantage in numbers. In addition, they are waiting for work and they quickly gain the upper hand. The Feihu's personal guards use
This kind of iron rod is specially used to restrain the sharp ax and long knife of the Flying Bear Army. In this kind of open and close battle, there is no retreat, the sharp ax and long knife will not only burst out a burst of sparks when hitting the iron rod.
, it had no other effect at all. And the heavy iron rods came one after another, the ax was rolled up, and the long knife was broken. Even so, in a short time, the casualties of Feihu's guards had been more than half, and Feixiong
The army did not take a step back until they fought to the last man.
In front of the bridges on both sides, the battle between the Han army recruits and the Xiliang cavalry was coming to an end. Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Hao Meng, the four generals under Lu Bu, were all wounded and surrounded in Gaixin.
It probably wouldn't last much longer. Just when the people on the top of the city were breathing a sigh of relief, an astonishing scene suddenly appeared.
