That night, Guan Yu selected 3,000 elite soldiers and rushed out from the north gate. Gao Jin's army could not catch up, so he had to let them leave.
There were only two thousand old and weak men left in Xiangcheng. For Gao Jin, the time was ripe to attack the city, so he immediately ordered his sergeants to rush to make siege equipment and begin to attack the city.
At dawn on the second day, Yu Jin personally pressed forward to attack the city, war drums roared, countless soldiers lined up outside the camp, and the sound of gold and iron horses resounded.
Hundreds of soldiers holding large shields were at the forefront. The wooden shields in their hands were as tall as one person and could withstand any sharp arrows. The soldiers in the rear were pushing carts and carrying ladders and slowly moved forward. Finally, there were groups of infantry.
The soldiers followed with their spears straightened and sandbags on their backs, and their horses galloped back and forth to convey orders and intelligence.
After all, Xiangcheng was just a county town, and the moat was not wide. The soldiers carrying sandbags, under the cover of archers and sword and shield bearers, kept throwing sandbags into it to fill up the moat.
With the sound of the war drums getting louder and louder, Gao Jin gave an order, and countless soldiers in uniform rushed towards Xiangcheng, and the powerful arrows on the city wall immediately flew towards them.
In an instant, hundreds of arrows were shot at Gao Jin's army who was approaching the city wall. Although they held up the wooden and leather shields in their hands, the dense arrow clusters still hit dozens of people in the front rows.
Soldiers shot into hedgehogs.
The attack on the city wall still lacked stamina. After all, the two thousand people in the city were all old and weak, and there were only a hundred infantry archers. Some of them were responsible for the defense of other city walls. The three hundred rangers under the city made Chen Qun dare not be careless. In order to prevent
They bypassed other city gates to attack, so the number of soldiers at the south gate was only a thousand. Under these conditions, it was really embarrassing to resist Gao Jin's attack.
The infantry archers on the city wall fired blindly and randomly, but the effect was limited. In fact, the area fifty meters below the city was now filled with Gao Jinjun.
Under the supervision of Yu Jin, Gao Jinjun began to set up ladders, and several long ladders and long ropes were put up on the city wall. Teams of soldiers in the city were busy throwing big rocks, huge trees, and hot water over the heads of the enemies who were climbing up.
.
The battle was brutal!
Seeing the success of the front team, Yu Jin, who was pressing down from behind, was immediately in high spirits. This attack on the city was originally just to test the strength of the city. Now it seems that Guan Yu has indeed transferred all his elite troops. In this way, it may not be much difficult to break through the city.
Already.
He shouted loudly and personally led the rear team to press forward. Gao Jin, who was watching the battle from behind, did not expect it to be so smooth at this time. He drew out his sword and rushed to the bottom of the city as the rear team quickly rushed to the city wall. At this time, the corners of the city wall were already crowded.
After grabbing the soldiers, many people climbed up the ladder. Countless hot oil and rolling stones fell down from the city wall, smashing down the climbing soldiers one by one. The boiling oil poured on the people, and there were bursts of shrill screams instantly.
Scream.
Seeing this, Gao Jin raised his head and looked at the city tower, pushed aside a few soldiers and pulled a long rope, and then he exerted force. With the strength of the long rope, his body was light, and he jumped up to the city wall in a few jumps.
Seeing Gao Jin's skill, the soldiers instantly forgot their fear and burst into cheers.
Gao Jin jumped onto the female wall. Several soldiers of Liu Bei's army did not expect that someone would climb up so quickly. They immediately stabbed them with their spears. Gao Jin jumped into the corridor of the city wall to avoid the fatal spear stab, and then grew a long spear on his waist.
The sword was unsheathed, and he swung it violently, knocking down an approaching soldier. Then he leaned against the city wall, tilted his sword in his hand, looked coldly at the enemies pouring in from all directions from the corridors of the city walls on both sides, and shouted loudly:
: "Come on, let's go together!"
A military prince mingled with the crowd and shouted: "Quick, kill him!"
There is not much time left for the defenders. Behind Gao Jin is a ladder. Countless soldiers are climbing up the ladder. If Gao Jin cannot be killed as soon as possible, a steady stream of Lu Bu troops will swarm up. I am afraid that I will regret it then.
It's too late.
In the voice of the military marquis, the seven or eight people surrounding Gao Jin at the forefront raised their spears and raised their knives to stab him. Gao Jin shouted loudly, used Yue Nu's sword skills to dodge several shots like a snake, and then held the long sword in his hand.
As fast as the wind, after sweeping away several swords and guns, the other hand swept away horizontally, and dozens of Emei needles shot out of the air, hitting the faces of several soldiers. The soldiers were unprepared, and there was a "wow" sound.
He fell to the ground groaning in agony.
No one knew what kind of spell Gao Jin was using. The Emei needle was originally very slender, so no one noticed it when it was spilled out in the chaos. Everyone only saw Gao Jin fending off a few spears, and the three or four soldiers who were close to him started to attack.
He fell down with his face covered, and red blood flowed from his fingers. It was extremely terrifying.
Frightened by this, everyone retreated and pushed each other, treating Gao Jin like a monster, fearing to avoid him.
Gao Jin Hengjian laughed loudly and bullied himself to catch up with several soldiers. The long sword in his hand instantly picked up a few sword flowers. The blade of the sword stabbed out quickly, killing one soldier. He then changed his thrust to sweeping and swept down another group.
.
The Yue Nu Sword was gradually opened, and the fierce wind of the sword protected Gao Jin's whole body. Because the inner strength broke through his mind, the sword was faster and more agile than before. In an instant, three or four people fell to the ground.
The corridor of the city wall was very narrow, allowing only three or four people to pass through. Gao Jin carried the wall on his back, and could only face six or seven enemies at most. Personal courage played a great role here, and the sword energy filled the five steps.
Everyone who comes close is frightened.
In a moment, more than a dozen corpses fell at Gao Jin's feet.
At this time, more and more soldiers of Lu Bu's army climbed up from behind the parapet. Gao Jin pointed his long sword and shouted in the direction of the tower: "Kill!"
"Kill!" the soldiers under his command shouted loudly, their morale was as high as a rainbow, and they fought with the enemy troops in the corridor with their guns and knives.
………
Chen Qun on the tower looked at Lu Bu's army charging towards him on the left wing corridor, and then at his own soldiers who were retreating steadily. Knowing that the situation was over, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh and told the guards around him: "I have been entrusted by others, so I should stand up."
If we go out, we will live and die with Xiangcheng. You still have wives and children, so it is better to take your family and children and flee for your life."
The guards were grateful for the kindness Chen Qun had treated them, and they all said, "I am willing to fight to the death with you."
Chen Qun personally drew his sword. Although he was a scholar wearing a Confucian skirt, he now had a more masculine look. He shouted: "In this case, we share life and death. There is no need for everyone to come forward to fight. Just let me protect you."
Tower."
Half an hour later, the enemy troops in the corridor had been cleared. Covered in blood, Gao Jin rushed to the tower with hundreds of sergeants. When he saw Chen Qun and dozens of personal guards, each of them holding weapons, trying to resist, he struck out with his long sword.
, shouted: "I have heard about Chen Wenchang's name for a long time, and it is like thunder in my ears. Today, sir, the situation is over, why not surrender early!"
A trace of determination flashed in Chen Qun's eyes, and he shouted in response: "There is only Chen Qun who keeps his promises and trusts, and there is no such thing as Chen Wenchang who is greedy for life and afraid of death. If the general wants to enter the city, he must first defeat someone."
Gao Jin laughed and said no more. With a wave of his hand, countless soldiers rushed out from behind and fought fiercely with the guards.
He held the sword secret and walked closer to Chen Qun. Chen Qun also raised his sword to meet him. Gao Jin's hand shook slightly, and the long sword buzzed, and it closed together with Chen Qun's long sword.
Immediately, Chen Qun felt a dull pain in the tiger's mouth and numbness in his hands. Before he could react, Gao Jin had already hit him. He didn't know what kind of trick he used, but he suddenly grabbed his clothes and laughed loudly:
"Chang Wen wants to seek death, but I won't let you get what you want."
