Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 182 Strong City Xuzhou, Iron Cavalry Charge?
"How could there be so many soldiers and horses?!"

Che Zhou's voice trembled.

More than 4000 soldiers are not scary. The Xuzhou defenders have a total of [-], even if they throw away the [-] fine cavalry that Yu Jin went out of the city to collect food.

There are more than [-] people left, let alone guarding the city.

Even in a frontal conflict, thousands of soldiers and horses can be piled up to death.

But the premise of heaping death is... the combat power of that soldier and horse is based on the category of normal people!

In Che Zhou's eyes, the combat power of this unit equipped with strange steel knives is beyond his comprehension!
It's not like Che Zhou has never seen such a thing as cutting out and destroying an enemy's weapon.

Anyway, my family is also a general who has followed Prime Minister Cao for many years, and I have seen many fierce generals in the army.

Among other things, General Cao Ying, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Xia Houdun, etc., they rushed into the enemy army, and under one blow, ordinary soldiers wanted to block their attack.

Simply delusional.

But can the two be compared side by side?

It's not that this alloy saber is really terrifying. Even if it is equipped on a soldier, it can immediately increase the combat effectiveness of the soldier to the level of a first-class general.

Che Zhou and Gao Lanbu have been fighting for so long, and it can be seen that the martial arts skills of those little soldiers are still commonplace.

As long as he finds the right opportunity, he can slash and kill the opponent with one strike, avoiding the alloy steel knife.

but……

When will a military general charge into battle and use skills to deal with a small soldier?

Isn't it normal for a mere soldier to stand up and give his head on the spot?
On Che Zhou's side, he was almost shocked by the sudden arrival of Yuan Tanbu.

Dong Heng on the top of the city is not in much better condition.

Fortunately, after all, he was still far away from Yuan Tan's department. With the city wall for defense, he was less shocked.

He quickly settled down and directed his subordinates to continue shooting arrows.

Having a general command and not having a general command are really two different things. For a while, the defense of Xuzhou's inner city was organized again.

Although the rain of arrows was still not dense, it still caused a lot of damage to the Gao Lan Department who were desperately attacking the city.

ding ding dong.

Gao Lan pushed aside a few arrow feathers falling towards his head with his silver spear, looked back at his tired subordinates, and gritted his teeth.

Since rushing to seize the city, these less than two hundred soldiers have killed almost twice as many opponents as them.

These soldiers were all juvenile soldiers. Although they were encouraged by Yuan Tan's military merit pension system, as the fighting continued.

The disadvantages of not having undergone too much training and tempering in battle are also gradually revealed.

Many soldiers were already showing signs of fatigue, and even with the help of alloy sabers, their swinging speed gradually slowed down.

And on the battlefield, a single negligence will end in either death or injury!

With a whoosh, the sound of an arrow piercing the sky came from the top of the city, and a young soldier clearly heard the sound of the arrow feathers.

But after all, the movement was a beat slower, Kankan raised the steel knife in his hand, trying to block the arrow feather.

But the steel saber was only lifted into the air, but a Cao Ying soldier on the side had the right timing, and the spear pierced out like a poisonous snake!
puff!
There was a sound of flesh and blood, and the soldier clutched his lower abdomen, staggered a few steps, but fell powerlessly to the ground.

"Damn it! We can't drag it on any longer!"

The distance from the outer city to the inner city was nearly [-] paces. Yuan Tan and others climbed over mountains and ridges, starting from the trail, and all the horses and the like stayed at the other end.

At this moment, all the troops are attacking the city on foot, five hundred steps, for these soldiers who have just traveled a long distance and have not yet finished their training.

Definitely not a short distance away!

As for Gao Lan himself, when he rushed to seize the city, he single-handedly stabbed dozens of soldiers to death and suppressed the Cao camp defenders in the outer city.

Only then was he able to successfully lead his subordinates into the defense zone of the inner city of Xuzhou.

But Gao Lan's martial arts can only barely be classified as first-class in the final analysis, and it is still the kind that focuses on skills.

Not to mention comparing with Yuan Tan who has the strength of nine oxen and two tigers, even compared with Jiang Qi who is a second-rate martial artist, his physical strength is only a little bit higher.

So at this moment, Gao Lan also felt that his physical strength was gradually exhausted.

Although it seemed that he was still able to resist the siege of Che Zhou and his personal guards with all his strength, his speed did slow down a little when he raised his gun and drew his knife.

Although Che Zhou's martial arts skills are not as good as Gao Lan's, he is just better than Jiang Qi.

But he is better than... more shameless.

There are a total of three hundred personal guards, all of whom are like dead soldiers who have been trained with a lot of money by Che Zhou.

At this moment, they were all brought under the gate of the inner city by Che Zhou. Under Che Zhou's command, they desperately blocked Gao Lan in the middle!

He knew that he was not Gao Lan's opponent when he went to battle in person, even if Gao Lan's physical strength was a little weak at the moment, the ending was the same!

Because the force gap between the two is really a bit big.

So from the very beginning, Che Zhou retreated resolutely after touching Gao Lan, mixed with the guards, and took cold shots to deal with Gao Lan's soldiers.

While directing the guards to continue to besiege Gao Lan, he sent someone to report to Dong Heng, asking him to quickly notify Yu Jin and others to come back.

Now that Xuzhou is in crisis, Gao Lan is on the other side, and it is not known which general from Hebei is the reinforcement who suddenly arrived behind.

But since they have the guts to raid Xuzhou, it is absolutely impossible for them to be unknown people.

He and Dong Heng combined could only handle Gao Lan.

The remaining unknown general of Hebei can only rely on the ban!

Dong Heng also knew the seriousness of the matter, after receiving Che Zhou's order, without hesitation, he immediately dispatched a sentry cavalry, and hurried out of the east gate to find Yu Jin.

After doing these things, Dong Heng also calmed down the shock in his heart a little bit, his eyes moved down, and fell on the Hebei reinforcements, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"No horse?"

A close friend next to Dong Heng heard Dong Heng's self-talk, but couldn't hear it clearly, and was taken aback for a moment:
"What is the commander's order?"

Dong Heng clapped his hands, and a stern light flashed in his eyes:
"The thieves in Hebei despise my Xuzhou city defense, and a few thousand people want to seize the city. They really don't know how to live or die!"

Since Xuzhou was established as the new base camp by Cao Cao, it has been re-fortified.

The most conspicuous addition of fortifications is to build an inner city behind the original Xuzhou city wall by retreating another [-] steps.

But the distance of [-] steps from the inner city to the outer city was specially ordered by Cao Cao to be flattened.

The purpose is that on the day of last resort, the defenders in the inner city of Xuzhou can...

Riding on a war horse, with the impact of the cavalry, crush the enemy army that invaded Xuzhou into powder!

Dong Heng said coldly:

"Tell General Che Zhou to prepare to retreat. I will start to prepare cavalry and charge into the enemy's formation. No matter which general he is from Hebei, in front of my Xuzhou iron cavalry, he is just an infantry, but an ant!"
