The jade cup in his hand broke into pieces, and the full cup of warm wine spilled all over him. Cao Hong was immediately embarrassed.
All the generals in the hall, including Zhao Yan, all became pale.
Cao Hong recovered from his shock and shouted: "That's nonsense. Yan Liang was clearly attacking Shangyong Sanjun. How could he suddenly attack our Wuguan without any warning!"
The soldier was startled, and said in a trembling voice: "Even if you have ten courages, you will never dare to lie about the military situation. Yan's army is indeed attacking the city, and there are still tens of thousands of people. If the general does not rescue him, he will
The brothers in Nancheng can hardly stand it anymore."
The lobby suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone, including Cao Hong, pricked up their ears to listen. Sure enough, they could faintly hear the sound of shouting for death rumbling in the direction of Nancheng. If it wasn't to solve a key problem, what else could it be.
Cao Hong's face flushed with surprise and horror, and in an instant, there was a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
Zhao Yan said anxiously: "General Zilian, after hearing this news, there is indeed an enemy attacking the key point. Without further delay, please go to Nancheng quickly, General."
Cao Hong was awakened by Zhao Yan and did not dare to hesitate any longer. He hurriedly rushed out, leading the generals and soldiers of his camp, and hurried to the south city.
As soon as Cao Hongfang left the house, the thunderous shouts of killing filled his ears, shocking him to the point of being frightened.
Riding his horse all the way to Nancheng, Cao Hong's heart beat harder and harder as the shouts of death grew stronger.
When he rode up to Guancheng, Cao Hong was stunned for a moment.
Looking around, I saw that the front line of Guancheng was completely black and covered with Yan troops.
Countless battle flags rolled like waves, and the dense blades and armor almost chilled the sky under the reflection of the setting sun.
Along the city line, dozens of ladders have been erected, and tens of thousands of Yan troops are climbing up like ants.
In front of the filled-in moat, thousands of Yanjun crossbowmen were firing arrows at the city, suppressing the defenders until they dared not show their heads.
Farther away, groups of Yan Liang were still pouring towards Guancheng. At the east city, several enemy soldiers had even climbed to the top of the city.
"How is this possible? How is this possible..."
Facing tens of thousands of Yan troops like divine soldiers descending from the sky, facing this fierce offensive, Cao Hong was stunned for a moment, and his mind was even more confused.
When Cao Hong recognized the general flag with the word "Yan" flying in front of him outside the city, he was even more frightened.
He couldn't figure it out. His detailed plan in Nanyang clearly reported that Yan Liang had led his army in a boat and took the Han River to look up Shangyong. But why did Yan Liang lead such a heavy army in just a few days without any warning?
They killed him at the gate of the city.
The painful memories of losing to Yan Liang and being a prisoner for a whole year flashed through my mind in an instant.
Cao Hong's heart immediately surged with endless terror.
At a certain moment, Cao Hong even had the idea of abandoning Wuguan and immediately leading his army to retreat back to Chang'an.
"The safety of the pass is at stake. General Zilian, what are you still doing? Why don't you quickly command the soldiers to fight!"
Zhao Yan shouted loudly, killing Cao Hong's idea of escaping just now.
Cao Hong came to his senses. Facing Zhao Yan's stern gaze, he could only suppress the idea of escape. He tried his best to muster up the courage and shouted at the defenders to join the fight.
"Quick. Go quickly and transfer the rest of the troops to Nancheng. Also, immediately send Pegasus to Chang'an for help. Go quickly -"
Amid almost hysterical roars, Cao Hong raised his long sword and led the soldiers rushing to the top of the city to kill towards the east corner.
In front of the city, more than a hundred paces away, Yan Liang was holding a long sword in his arms, admiring Huang Zhong's siege performance.
It is precisely because the strategy worked that Cao Jun in Wuguan was unprepared at first, and his army was able to successfully fill in the moat, and successfully erect the ladder with almost no injuries or many crossbows blocking the city. Moreover, his
A thousand crossbowmen also took the lead and effectively suppressed the defenders at the top of the city.
What Yan Liang has to do now is to wait for his athletes to use the human sea tactic and risk their lives to overwhelm Cao Jun's defense line.
Seeing a few brave climbers successfully climbing to the top of the city at the southeast corner, Yan Liang couldn't help but feel a hint of joy in his heart.
As long as the few soldiers who are the first to climb the city can defend the climbing point with all their lives, they can buy time for more subsequent soldiers to climb the city. And if there are enough soldiers who can successfully climb the city, the climbing point can be continuously expanded.
Then Cao Jun's defense collapsed.
But just when Yan Liang was excited, a large number of Cao's troops suddenly appeared on the top of the city. Soon, they attacked and destroyed all the soldiers who boarded the city in the southeast corner.
"It seems that Cao Hong has not been frightened stupidly, and he knows how to fight to the death."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Yan Liang's lips, and he immediately ordered that the three thousand Chinese troops under his command also rushed forward and joined Huang Zhong's siege force.
At this time, Yan Liang had no room for reservation. He was determined to invest all his troops in this battle and win Wuguan in one go.
As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Yan Liang had a very important position and could not easily join the siege.
With a flash of his eyes, Yan Liang suddenly jumped off his horse, grabbed the big hammer from the drummer's hand, raised his tiger arms, and cheered for his athletes with the deafening sound of the drum.
The soldiers in the bloody battle were all excited when they saw their lord beating drums and cheering for him. They all rushed towards the city head without caring about their own lives and looked forward to death.
However, on the top of the city, nearly three thousand Cao's troops arrived one after another and joined the defense.
Although the enemy army was numerically weak and even though they were caught off guard, these three thousand defenders were Cao's army, after all, the most elite division in the world. Their fighting spirit could not be broken in a moment.
Three thousand Cao's troops, under the command of Cao Hong and Zhao Yan, tenaciously resisted Yan's attack.
Half an hour later, Yan Jun's corpses were piled up thickly below the city, but they still could not break through Cao Jun's tenacious defense.
This siege battle has now fallen into a stalemate.
Under the city wall, Huang Zhong, who was riding horses and commanding, saw that he could not attack for a long time, and an angry blood could not help but burn wildly in his chest.
He bit it hard, got off his horse, held a long knife in his hand, and climbed up a ladder himself.
Fang couldn't climb more than ten feet, so a Cao soldier on the battlement raised a Luo stone and threw it at Huang Zhong while shouting.
Seeing the human-sized Luo Shi heading straight for his head, Huang Zhong hooked the ladder with one hand and used his other hand to draw out the sword.
Bang~~
With a muffled sound, the Luo stone, which weighed several dozen kilograms, was blocked by Huang Zhong with his knife and flew away.
But a soldier under the city had no time to dodge, and was hit by a falling stone. His brain was cracked, and his flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Huang Zhong didn't care much, he blocked a stone, and the iron tower-shaped body struggled to climb away. In the blink of an eye, he climbed another ten feet.
When they were halfway up, an enemy soldier poked out from the entrance to the battlements and tried to use a pole to overturn the ladder.
At this time, Huang Zhong was still nearly two feet away from the city head. The sword in his hand was not long enough to reach the enemy, and he couldn't separate his hands, so he opened his bow and fired an arrow to kill the enemy soldier.
In desperation, Huang Zhong had an idea and casually pulled out an arrow from his back and swung it out with one hand.
Poof~~
This swinging arrow was extremely accurate and hit the enemy soldier right in the face. However, after hearing a painful cry of "ouch", the enemy soldier covered his face and fell down.
With one successful attack, Huang Zhong's confidence doubled and he continued to climb upwards. In the blink of an eye, he was only half a body away from the top of the city.
At this moment, on the top of the city, two enemy soldiers raised a pot of red-hot molten iron and were about to pour it on Huang Zhong.
At this time, Huang Zhong was in mid-air, unable to reach the city, unable to reach the ground, and had nowhere to hide.
If this huge pot of molten iron were poured down, he would have to burn it on the spot and turn it into a puddle of bones.
On the line between life and death, Huang Zhong didn't have time to think too much. He grabbed the ladder tightly with his left hand, shouted loudly, and stabbed upward with the long knife in his right hand.
This thrust with all his strength was so powerful that the two soldiers of Cao Cao were unable to hold it steady for a moment, and the big pot in their hands was turned upside down, and a whole pot of molten iron was poured onto their bodies with a crash.
Huang Zhong seized this opportunity, quickly jumped up with his strong body, kicked hard with both feet, and jumped to the top of the city with a loud roar.
On the top of the city, the two enemy soldiers, whose bodies were covered in flesh and blood, were still rolling on the ground. Another soldier next to them didn't care about saving his companions. He picked up the support pole from the place again and was about to fork over the ladder again.
When he suddenly raised his head, the enemy soldier was shocked to see an iron tower-like body blocking the way. Huang Zhong stood on the battlements, towering like a god general descending from the sky.
The ape's arm swung, and the long knife in his hand was swept out like a wheel, and a bloody human head flew into the air.
Immediately afterwards, Huang Zhong suddenly jumped off the battlement, and with a long sword, he protected the open space for climbing the city.
"Well done, you are worthy of being one of the Five Tiger Generals!"
Yan Liang, who was outside the city, saw Huang Zhong's success in ascending the city. He couldn't help but be so excited that he beat the war drum louder in his hands.
The athletes of the Yan family on the front line of the city wall were all excited when they saw Huang Zhong miraculously reach the top of the city, and they all rushed to the top of the city.
Cao's soldiers on the city were furious when they saw an old soldier from the enemy breaking through the city. More than ten people rushed from both sides, trying to surround and kill Huang Zhong.
"You ants, how dare you fight!"
Huang Zhong was angry and powerful, and the long sword in his hand swung out layers of iron curtains. With a threatening and killing force, he easily forced back the surrounding enemy soldiers. With only one person's power, he actually protected the open space on the city.
Just when Huang Zhong was angry and powerful, more and more Yan Jun soldiers climbed up the city from the ladders, expanding the area of the city boarding point.
The situation was extremely unfavorable for Cao's army.
More than ten steps away, Cao Hong saw that the situation was in danger, so he had to get angry and courageous, drink violently, and kill himself with a knife.
Seeing Cao Hong approaching fiercely, Huang Zhong showed no fear at all. With a low roar, the long knife in his hand was like lightning, and with extremely fierce force, he struck at Cao Hong's head like a mountain bearing down on him.
