Lü Bu led these three thousand people, specializing in remote places, not rushing, and when he was more than 30 miles away from Xiangyang, he looked for a valley and ordered all the soldiers to dismount to rest and eat some dry food. , Drinking a war horse, preparing for the final sprint, because he was worried that the sent horse would fall into the eyes of the caring people and leak his whereabouts, so Lu Bu did not send anyone to detect the road on this journey, but No one interrogated them along the way, and there were even people who would take the initiative to deliver some food. Therefore, in Lu Bu’s imagination, his trick of concealing the sky and the sea was a great success. Xiangyang, known as the city that never sleeps, must be defenseless now.
The sun set in summer is always later than usual, but Lu Bu can't wait for it to get dark. He jumped up from the ground, and with a whistle, the red rabbit and horse ran over, and Lu Bu turned over. Above, Fang Tian’s painted halberd in his hand pointed towards Xiangyang City and shouted: “My children, thirty miles south from here is the prosperous Xiangyang City, where there are countless gold and silver jewelry waiting for you to fetch. , There are countless beauties waiting for you to enjoy, what are you waiting for, hurry up and pick up your bows and arrows, hold your steel knives, rush, 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, screamed strangely, and ran all the way towards Xiangyang City.
The distance of thirty miles for these cool horses in the West is coming in an instant. Soon, they are only three to five miles away from the moat. The brightly lit Xiangyang city has appeared in front of them, and you can see the moat from a distance. The gate on the side was still wide open, and there were people coming in and out unhurriedly.
Seeing that success was in front of him, Lu Bu couldn't help being ecstatic, and shouted: "Boys, speed up, kill,"
"Come on," "Kill,"
The roars resounded through the sky, and the 13,000 cavalrymen split into three torrents and rushed toward the three temporary bridges on the moat. In the middle were Lu Bu and the three thousand flying bears, and on both sides were Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Hao. The Xiliang Iron Horses led by Meng each,
Suddenly, the cavalry who rushed to the front all fell off their horses. Large and small pits were exposed on the ground. These pits were bright or dark. If they stepped in accidentally, the horses would lose their hooves. It is inevitable for the cavalry to fall. However, This is just the beginning. Many people jumped out from some of the deeper pits. They were the recruits of the Han army who were ambushing here. The infantry of the Han army rushed to the Xiliang cavalry who had fallen from their horses and used their swords. Cut, stabbed with a spear, and harvested their lives crazily before they could react,
However, the recruits ambushing in the middle road were not so lucky. From the middle road, it was Dong Zhuo’s most elite force, the Flying Bear Army. These flying bear troops were exceptionally brave. Even if they fell off the horse, they could quickly launch a counterattack. The soldiers of the Xiong Army have almost no fear in the face of a dozen or twenty recruits, and they can even gain the upper hand. If they do it one by one, these recruits are definitely not the opponents of the Flying Bear Army, and I don’t know who is the first. With a shout, he rushed up to hug the fallen soldiers of the Flying Bear Army, biting their teeth and hitting their heads with their heads. The other recruits immediately followed suit, and they were cleverly entangled with the brave soldiers of the Flying Bear Army. Some of the soldiers picked up their knives and guns and struck them indiscriminately at the flying bear army, even if they hurt their fellow robes.
This kind of desperate play shocked the cavalry that followed. The momentum of the cavalry's galloping stopped obviously. Lu Bu saw from behind and said loudly: "Children, don't be afraid. They are playing so hard, which just shows the emptiness of the city. , Rush in, the contents inside are all yours,"
His shouting quickly took effect. Many people remembered Lu Bu's very provocative mobilization before he set out. These cavalry immediately became red eyes, urging their horses one after another, regardless of the comrades in front of him. The recruits of the Han army who were lying in ambush in the dirt pit fought together and galloped past them directly. The recruits of the Han army who were fighting together, the fallen Xiliang cavalry and the warriors of the flying bear army were immediately bowled. The big-mouthed horse hooves stepped into the flesh, regardless of each other,
Faced with such a tragic scene, these recruits of the Han army, who had only been in the army for more than half a year, were not deterred. None of the 10,000 ambushes in the pit flinched. They jumped out of the pit one after another, fighting the enemy to death. The fighting until they disappeared into the torrent of cavalry. Perhaps these young soldiers have not yet mastered their martial arts, or they have not learned to manipulate the battlefield, but their will is already stronger than steel.
Ma Yun, who did not listen to Jushou, Tian Feng and others' persuasion, insisted on watching the battle on the front of the city, she couldn't help but shed tears when she saw this scene. They were 10,000 live lives, they were so young. , For the sake of the people in this city, but willing to sacrifice themselves, without turning back,
The earth-shattering sound of killing outside the city has already alarmed the people in the city. Many people hid in a panic, while more people flocked to the city gate and asked to help hold on to the city. Facing the people’s request, Ma Yun She didn’t agree, but sent people to reassure her again and again. These people were defenseless and had no martial arts, so that they would not have much effect in going to the city. She didn’t want the people to make senseless sacrifices.
Moreover, seeing the brutal battle just now, Ma Yun firmly believes that Xiangyang City can definitely be defended. Although the hope of surviving the 10,000 recruits in the ambush is very slim, the casualties of the Xiliang soldiers under Lu Bu will not be. There are less than 6,000 people, and even the most sturdy flying bear soldiers have lost at least about 1,000 people. The remaining 7,000 people want to break through the city’s high and wide Yangyang, which is tantamount to idiotic dreams. Ma Yun turned his head. Instructed: "Tell the soldiers not to close the city gates and tell the people in the city that the enemy can't even approach the city walls, so we didn't even close the city gates, so everyone can rest assured."
Ma Yun is confident right now. The moat in Xiangyang is 200 meters wide, and it relies on three temporary bridges for people to pass. Even if you have thousands of troops, you will inevitably have to squeeze on this single-plank bridge. The city has already been arranged. Countless bows and arrows are aiming at these three temporary bridges. As long as they step into the distance after Xiliang, they will surely end up with a thousand arrows, not to mention that there are 23,000 ambushes on the opposite bank of the moat, of which 3,000 Humans are the most elite guards of flying tigers. Of course, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Because the soldiers guarding the city are not equipped with strong bows, such a wide moat also "protects" the enemy while blocking the enemy. Beyond the range of the city soldiers,
Lu Bu's cavalry finally passed the pit formation after paying huge casualties. You can already see countless torch lanterns on both sides of the moat, shining the night like daylight, and the Fang Tian painted halberd in Lu Bu's palm waved forward. , Said loudly: "Children, the city of Xiangyang is right in front of you, rush across the river, snatch their wealth, take possession of their women, and kill,"
With the strange screams of "Aoao", the Xiliang cavalry rushed to the moat in one breath. However, a shocking scene appeared. Before they were close to the temporary bridge, many cavalry fell off their horses one after another. The cavalry only looked at the brightly lit Xiangyang city, but did not find that there were many men and horses in ambush beside the moat. This is probably the so-called dark under the lights. The moment the cavalry rushed past, these ambushes stood up together, they Holding a steel knife in one hand and pulling a tough hemp rope in the other, nearly 10,000 ropes entangled each other to form a huge ground net. The cavalry, who had consciously slowed down because of being close to the river, was immediately trapped. ,
There was a fierce hand-to-hand battle on the moat. The horsemen who fell down were quickly surrounded by the Han Recruit Corps ambushing by the river. Before they could react, they were chopped into mud. The soldiers still riding on their horses were not. How lucky they will be, the horses have been entangled firmly by these hemp ropes, and they have lost the advantage of impact. Their combat effectiveness is not much stronger than those of these recruits. However, in the middle of the entire battlefield, there is a different scene. There are 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 the horses, the others abandoned their horses and turned into foot combat without any instructions. The bear soldiers were armed with axe and long knives, facing the swarm of new recruits from the Han army. In front of the bear army, it was like a child facing a giant, with almost no power to fight back. The sharp axe in the hands of the flying bear army flew up and down, dealing with these new recruits of the Han army was like cutting melons and vegetables. It's a bloody storm. Although these Han army recruits have already put life and death out of the question, they rushed up one after another, but they were like moths to the fire, and there was no return.
At this critical moment, I heard a sudden slap, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, a black-faced man brandishing a big knife, strode into the formation, wherever the big knife went, flesh and blood flew everywhere, with broken arms everywhere. With an order, the recruits of the Han army retreated to the sides like a tide, and went looking for the Xiliang cavalry to fight, but saw another yellow-faced man waving a pair of huge iron halberds in his hands, carrying three halberds. Thousands of vital forces entered the battlefield. These three thousand vital soldiers carried a thick iron rod, and when they encountered the flying bear army, they smashed them headlessly.
With Xu Chu and Dianwei leading the Flying Tiger Guards to join the battle group, the situation on the battlefield has been reversed. The Flying Tiger Guards and the Flying Bear Army are both rare elite troops in that era. Advancing without retreat, not afraid of death, but the flying tiger guards are led by Dianwei and Xu Chu. The morale is high and the number is also dominant. Coupled with waiting for work, they soon have the upper hand, and the flying tiger guards use it. This kind of iron rod is specially used to restrain the flying bear army's sharp axe and long knife. In this kind of wide open and close battle, there is no retreat. The sharp axe and long knife slashed on the iron rod except for a burst of sparks. , There is no other effect at all, and the heavy iron rod smashed one after another, the sharp axe was rolled, the long knife was also broken, and so, for a moment, the casualties of the flying tiger's personal guards were already more than half, and the flying The bear army did not take a step back until the last man in the fight.
In front of the temporary bridges on both sides, the battle between the recruits of the Han army and the Xiliang cavalry was also coming to an end. Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Hao Meng, the four lords under Lu Bu were wounded and surrounded by Gai Xin. It is estimated that it will not last long. Just when the people on the top of the city breathed a sigh of relief, a shocking scene suddenly appeared.
