Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a few small black spots rising at the end of the Mianshui River.Those black dots are getting bigger and bigger and more and more.Later, it became clear that there were layers of sail shadows.

Another exclaimed: "Look, there are also on land." On the horizon of Nanyang Plain, scattered small black spots also appeared in the drizzle, and the soldiers in Linjiang discovered that they were horse-drawn carriages.Some people have seen this kind of carriage before, it is Liang Jun's unique longbow chariot.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!", "Liang Jun is coming, Liang Jun is coming to attack the city." The warning sounds of Linjiang Army soldiers have already sounded one after another, and then the sound of drums and horns began to echo in the air.Some of the drums and trumpets came from the military camp in Fancheng, and some came from the distant Liang army ranks.The Xiangyang Water Gate on the opposite side of Fancheng also opened suddenly, and warships came out one by one.

Fancheng guard Zhou Cang got the news of the Liang army's attack, and hurriedly ordered his people to report to Guan Yu in Yicheng. He dressed neatly, armored and helmeted, and boarded the top of Fancheng to command the battle.

At the head of the city of Fancheng, some Linjiang soldiers were running in a panic, and there was the sound of breaking through the air.Several Linjiang soldiers fell to the ground.That was the heavy arrow shot by the longbow chariot approaching the city.Then, on the wall of Fancheng on the side of the river, dozens of fireballs flew across the air, some flew into the city, and some hit the top of the city.

The stone bullets made a huge cracking sound after hitting the stacking wall, and the explosive bombs made a loud bang when they hit the ground, and flames five or six feet high were shot up.

The warship sailing out of Xiangyang city began to bombard Fancheng with ballista.The longbowmen on the deck also used their longbows to shoot heavy arrows one after another.

Half an hour after Liang Jun launched the attack, the Linjiang Army in Fancheng finally reacted and began to organize defense and counterattack.The crossbowmen hid behind the battlements, and arrows rushed towards the warships on the river like a shower.

Because they were crouching, they didn't know that two oversized building boats were sailing out of Xiangyang Water Gate.The height of the pier and stern of these two buildings has exceeded the height of the city wall of Fancheng.

Those crouching behind the pile of walls, under the order of the generals at all levels, the Linjiang soldiers randomly shot arrows outward.They suddenly found that the sky was getting dark, and when they looked up, there were no dark clouds in the sky, but something like a wall was pressing over.Those were two large boats sailing out of Xiangyang City, and their tall sterns were slowly approaching the city wall of Fancheng.

Zhou Cang saw it badly, and shouted loudly: "The enemy is about to enter the city! Hurry up, withdraw the crossbowmen, spearmen, swordsmen and shield soldiers, step forward and block their way..."

Before he could finish his sentence, several huge flying ladders fell from the poop of the building ship and hit the stacking wall with loud noises.Liang Jun who had already gathered on the ship tower let out a roar like a tsunami, and rushed down the flying ladder with their swords and guns in unison.

The Linjiang army also raised their shields, and those with guns, lined up in rows and pressed upwards, trying to block the way of Liang Jun.One of the Linjiang soldiers looked at Liang Jun from the edge of the shield, and suddenly found a dozen fireballs thrown from behind the dark Liang Jun, and one of the fireballs became bigger and brighter in his sight.

Then he heard a bang, and the whole world turned into a vast expanse of white, and then his eyes were all red, and he felt extremely hot all over.The small deflagration bomb fired by the portable ballista just focused on his shield, and another deflagration bomb landed behind him, and the flames engulfed him in an instant...

Chapter 546 Fancheng Blitz

The explosive shells projected by the portable ballista cover a certain range in front of the assault infantry, opening a gap in the enemy's formation for the subsequent infantry.Liang Jun has repeatedly trained for this tactic for a long time, and he has already practiced it with a high degree of proficiency. Therefore, the hot bombs thrown from behind the formation all fell into the crowd of the Linjiang army without error.

Regardless of whether the Linjiang army was burned by the raging fire or not, they all fled around in a panic, and the shield wall they had just put together naturally disappeared.Liang Jun's flying spear javelin was thrown at a small angle at the right time, and it fell on the messy Linjiang Army soldiers like a torrential rain.In an instant, there were bursts of screams, and many Linjiang soldiers were pierced through their limbs by spears.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Jun's shield, wall and gun lined up the top of Fancheng along the ladder of the building and ship.Only a few of the soldiers of the Linjiang Army stepped forward to block with swords, and the rest of them scattered to the rest of the city under the attack of raging fire and chaotic spears.

These few Linjiang soldiers who stopped were stabbed by the spears like poisonous snakes spitting out letters. Before they had time to swing their own weapons, each of them was stabbed several times and fell into a pool of blood.Soldiers of the Liang Army rushed over several flying ladders like a torrent, and rushed to the rest of the corridor at the head of the city.Those spear and shield soldiers threw out the last spears in their hands, and switched to short-distance hand-to-hand combat with the first dagger.

The sound of fighting on the west wall of Fancheng on the side of Mianshui can be heard endlessly.Zhou Cang hastily issued orders on the north wall, mobilizing troops to go to the west wall for support.However, the soldiers of the Liang army attacked fiercely, and nearly a thousand Liang soldiers poured out from the two siege ships had already rushed towards the north gate.At the same time, Liang Jun, who came from the land, was also approaching Fancheng.These Liang armies are composed of longbow chariots, light cavalry flying feathers, and heavy cavalry.Fifty battles away from the north gate, an army formation was formed, ready to enter the city at any time.

Although Zhou Cang tried his best to yell to mobilize the army, it was obviously too late.A large group of Liang Jun had already rushed towards the north gate along the corridor of the city wall.

"Quick! Stop them, we must not let them get close to the north gate tower," Zhou Cang shouted, holding two iron swords in both hands and personally led the troops to rush up.

After a dozen or so breaths, the two streams of people collided on the corridor not far from the North City Gate.Soldiers on both sides swung their weapons across the shield wall, slashing and killing.It's just that Liang Jun has short knives in his hands at this time, and he is at a disadvantage compared with Linjiang soldiers who have long-handled weapons.

Under the random stabbing by the spearmen of the Linjiang Army, the shield wall of the soldiers of the Liang Army could not be fully protected.From time to time, one or two people fell down amidst the screams.

In the sight of a Liang Army soldier, seven or eight spears were shaking again.With all his strength, he held the shield against the blades of most of the spears, but one of the spears slid past the shield with a tooth-squeaking sound, and then the point of the spear went out with a pop. stabbed into his throat.The Liang Army soldier lay on the ground, clutching his bloody throat.A gap appeared in Liang Jun's shield wall, but another Liang Jun spear and shield soldier quickly filled it.

When the spearmen of the Linjiang Army were about to unleash their next shot, they suddenly saw the light of a knife flashing in front of them.Some suddenly felt dizzy and dizzy, and some felt that their arms lost consciousness.In fact, their heads and arms were chopped off by a long knife with a straight blade and a broad blade.

Only then did the surviving Linjiang soldiers realize that Liang Jun's army had several more Liang soldiers armed with such long poles and broadswords. They were surprisingly tall, almost twice as tall as ordinary people, and the armor on their bodies looked extremely thick.They are naturally Liang Jun's giant ape warriors.

Just as one of the "persons" was about to swing the second knife, the soldiers of the Linjiang Army shouted and stabbed their spears at it.With the sound of clanging metals, the spear points of several spears pierced its thick armor, deforming the armor, but the spear points still couldn't pierce its armor.Before these Linjiang soldiers could close their guns, the light of the saber streaked across their necks and bodies again.There were heads and limbs falling off, and more people had their necks or chests cut open by blades.

Under the slashing and stabbing of the giant ape soldiers, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the Linjiang army's gun forest.Those Liang army infantry with large shields and short knives poured into the crowd of Linjiang army through these loopholes, and fought them at close quarters.This kind of close combat, the Linjiang army armed with long pole weapons can only be slaughtered.

In an instant, a large number of Linjiang soldiers were killed, and the rest were forced to throw away long-handled weapons such as spears and halberds, and then fought with Liang Jun with the daggers or short knives they carried with them.It's a pity that Liang Jun's soldiers still had shields in their hands, so the situation suddenly reversed, and it became Liang Jun's one-sided massacre of Linjiang soldiers.

Zhou Cang danced the two iron broadswords together, screaming wildly in his mouth.With a bang, the iron broadsword in his right hand slashed onto a Liang Jun shield, stopping the castration and revealing a flaw.A shovel stabbed through his right armpit.Zhou Cang quickly blocked it with the big knife in his left hand, but the knife was blocked.But the first knife on the left pierced deeply into his shoulder.

Zhou Cang let out a cry of pain, the steel knife in his left hand was already out of his hand, he could only free his right hand to make a false cut and then backed away.Another three Liang Jun held shields and pressed him from three sides.Zhou Cang drew an arc with the knife in his right hand, trying to force the opponent back a step, but he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and the sharp blade protruded from his chest.The giant ape warrior twisted the long knife again, twisted it 180 degrees, and twisted a big hole in Zhou Cang's chest, and then picked Zhou Cang's body in midair with the back of the knife.

The Linjiang Army at the head of the city was already at a disadvantage, and relying on the continuous reinforcements from the city, it barely collapsed just now.Seeing the death of the main general now, who is willing to sacrifice their lives, scrambling to escape to the city.

They collided with the soldiers of the Linjiang Army who were still rushing towards the head of the city. In the chaos, a stampede immediately occurred, and the upper and lower streams of people crowded into one ball.Numerous footboards stepped on the fallen man, and Liang Jun chased after him, finally turning the crowd into a direction down the city.

A quarter of an hour later, the north gate of Fancheng was opened and the suspension bridge was lowered.Liang Jun, who had been waiting outside the city for a long time, galloped into the city...

The streets and alleys of Fancheng were filled with soldiers of the Linjiang Army begging for surrender, and groups of heavy cavalry from the Liang Army galloping past on the streets.In addition, there are a small number of Liang Jun infantry who are setting up checkpoints at the entrances of alleys and streets to remove various roadblocks that refuse to horse.In less than half an hour, the entire city of Fancheng was under the control of Liang Jun.

However, there was no large group of Liang Jun's regular troops entering the city, and the Liang Jun fleet in the Mianshui River marched mightily down the Mianshui River, without the slightest intention of staying in Fancheng.Even the more than 2000 Liang troops who entered the city formed a formation after the Xiangyang defenders on the other side took over Fancheng, and left the city to continue heading south.There is Yicheng, which is heavily defended by the Linjiang Army, and the defender is the world-famous Guan Yu.

Chapter 547 Tiger Claw Mountain

Thanks to Zhou Cang's timely dispatch of people to report the news, Guan Yu immediately learned of the news of the Liang army's attack, and hurriedly mobilized the army to prepare for defense.

Yicheng was originally a key defensive area of ​​the Linjiang Kingdom, and it had conducted countless drills against the sudden large-scale attack by the Liang army.So in less than two hours, Yicheng and the Tiger Claw Mountain pass set up [-] meters away from the north gate of Yicheng were all ready to guard against Liang Jun.Guan Yu also personally came to Tiger Claw Mountain to supervise the battle.

Yicheng is not an isolated city. Within a hundred miles, there are Dangyang, Shicheng and other cities guarded by the Linjiang Army, so there is no need to set up another camp outside the city according to the common sense of military science.But the section where the Tiger Claw Mountain pass is located is the key point along with the Nanyang Plain and the Jianghan Plain.

To the west of this place is Huzhuo Mountain, which belongs to the remaining range of Daba Mountain, and to the east is Dalu Mountain, which belongs to Tongbai Mountain Range. Between the two mountains is Tanyuan, which is about ten miles wide.Mian water from Nanyang County flows into Jianghan Plain through here.Therefore, setting up a pass camp here can play the role of one man guarding the pass and ten thousand men not being able to open it.If Liang Jun did not overcome this pass, it would be impossible for a large number of troops to penetrate into the hinterland of Linjiang Kingdom.

The wall of the Tiger Claw Mountain pass defense line extends from the west of the Tiger Claw Mountain to the Dalu Mountain.When it crosses Mianshui, it isolates the upstream and downstream of Mianshui in the form of a floating bridge.

The pontoon bridge is as wide as three poles, and four carriages or nine horses can be driven side by side on the bridge deck.Every few battles, the pontoon bridge has wooden piles nailed deep into the river bed to stabilize the pontoon bridge.Thick buttress walls are built on the upstream side of the pontoon bridge.In addition, in order to prevent enemy ships from colliding with the pontoon bridge, several iron cables to block the river were constructed in front of the pontoon bridge.If the enemy tried to break through the defense line of Huzhuo Mountain from the surface of Mianshui, it would be more difficult than climbing to the sky.

As soon as Guan Yu arrived at the pass of Tiger Claw Mountain, he got a report-Liang Jun had been found outside the pass.Guan Yu was taken aback. He only received the report from Zhou Cang's messenger an hour or two ago.When this news was sent out, Liang Jun had just begun to attack Fancheng.

Guan Yu's heart suddenly trembled-could it be that Liang Jun captured Fancheng in an hour or two?How is this possible?Although Fancheng is easy to attack and difficult to defend, it is a big city with walls as high as several battles. Even if it is an empty city, it is difficult to completely occupy it in one or two hours.

In the end, Guan Yu comforted himself and said that these Liang troops were just the vanguard of the Liang army who crossed Fancheng to inquire about the military situation, and Fancheng would not fall so quickly.Wait for someone to go forward to investigate first, and then decide whether to support Fancheng or not.

Guan Yu climbed up to the gate tower of the gate of the Huzhu Pass, and set up a pergola to look into the distance.

Sure enough, he saw some strange Liang Jun ships anchored in the river, parked in the middle of the river more than fifty battles away from the pontoon bridge, motionless.In fact, this is Liang Jun's Viking warship.

Guan Yu looked at the land again in a blink of an eye. There were fifty or sixty battles outside the Guan wall, and there were also two or three hundred Liang Jun war cavalry.They were divided into three groups, two were on the side of Hutou Mountain, and the other was on the other side of Dalu Mountain. They neither approached the pass nor fared away, but rode their horses slowly in circles.

Guan Yu was about to send a Biao army to meet them.These Liang Jun moved first by themselves, and the Viking ship anchored in the Mian water suddenly lifted its anchor, raised its sails and rushed towards the pontoon bridge.The sound of warning clappers on the pontoon suddenly sounded, and the soldiers of the Linjiang Army who were sitting behind the wall immediately held their swords, guns, bows and crossbows, turned around, crouched behind the wall, and stared vigilantly at the approaching soldiers from the gap. Liang Jun warship.

These Liang Jun warships soon could no longer move forward, because they encountered the first iron chain blocking the river.The arrows of the Linjiang Army also poured towards them like a torrential rain.

The soldiers of the Liang Army on the Viking ship squatted as far as possible on the bottom of the bilge while yelling, and put their shields on top of their heads.Even so, there were two or three screams amidst the ding ding dong dong of the arrows plunging into the wood.The sails on the Viking ship were also shot like a colander, full of big holes and small holes.

Just as the Viking sailors held the arrows and paddled desperately to make the warship retreat slowly, the Linjiang Army began to shoot rockets again.The rockets landed on the wet decks of the Viking ships with little effect, but some rockets pierced through the sails, causing the sails of some Viking warships to burst into flames.The whole ship seemed to have turned into a huge torch.

But at this time the wind was still northwest, and the Viking sailors should have lowered their sails.But because of the suppression of the opponent's arrows, the sailors straightened up and dropped the sails, and they had to take the huge risk of being shot as hedgehogs.Therefore, Linjiang Army's move actually did these Viking sailors a favor.The ships fled at a faster speed now, and the soldiers of the Linjiang Army on the floating bridge burst into cheers.

While these Viking warships came to provoke, the Liang Army cavalry on land also tried to approach the Guan wall.They were also suppressed by the random arrows from the wall.However, some Qingqi Feiyu also shot arrows at the top of the city by taking advantage of the horse's momentum, then turned the horse's head around and ran away.

Guan Yu commanded his left and right in a deep voice: "Call five hundred elite cavalry, and go out with a certain one to meet them."

A quarter of an hour later, the gate of Huzhuo Mountain Pass opened suddenly, and Guan Yu, who was fully armored and armed, galloped out on his horse, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife was whistling by his one-handed dance.The more than 200 Liang Jun cavalry composed of cavalry scouts and Qingqi Feiyu immediately evacuated northward upon seeing this.But they didn't just run away, but kept drawing bows and arrows at the pursuers while running.

Guan Yu chased for seven or eight miles in one breath, and kept pushing away the enemy's arrows with the Qinglong Yanyue Saber.It's a pity that the opponent's speed is always faster than Guan Yu's Jingqi, so after chasing for a long time, the distance between the two sides has not been shortened by a single bit.At this time, a soldier beside Guan Yu persuaded: "General, don't chase after the poor! We only have these few hundred people. If we encounter the main force of the enemy's army or ambushes in front, the consequences will be disastrous. The Holy Majesty gave us The task is to guard Yicheng well, the general must not lose the big because of small things!"

Only then did Guan Yu come to his senses, the most important thing is to defend Yicheng.He hastily reined in the reins and led his troops back to the pass of Tiger Claw Mountain.Guan Yu pondered again in his mind, judging from the point just now, the Liang army must have just come to test it out. The main force of the Liang army should still be fighting fiercely in Fancheng, so it is better to send some troops to reinforce Fancheng.

Just as he was about to give an order, two of his personal soldiers helped a general with bloodstained face and wounds into the tent, and said: "General Qi, our scouts outside the camp encountered this man, he It is said that they retreated from Fancheng."

Guan Yu grabbed the wounded man by the neck and said, "How is Fancheng? How is Zhou Cang?"

The general who lost too much blood said in a weak voice: "General, Captain Zhou died in battle, Fancheng has been broken, and Liang Jun's army is coming towards Yicheng..."

Chapter 548

When Guan Yu heard the news of Zhou Cang's death and the fall of Fancheng, he beat his feet and chest, startled and angry.Surprised that Liang Jun really captured Fancheng so quickly like lightning, and angry that Zhou Cang was his confidant and beloved general, and he died so tragically under the sword of Liang Jun.

Guan Yu's purplish red face was a little darkened due to the surge of qi and blood, and the blue veins on his forehead were bulging, and he said loudly to the left and right soldiers: "Send a certain military order to send all the people behind the pass of Huzhuo Mountain All the ships were scuttled, and all the defenders in Yicheng were moved to the pass of Huzhuo Mountain. Today, Guan is going to fight the Liang army at the foot of Huzhua Mountain! Avenge Zhou Cang and other sons who died in Fancheng!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his Qinglong Yanyue Knife in the air, and shouted loudly: "Revenge!", and the soldiers of the Linjiang Army at the pass of Tiger Claw Mountain also followed suit and shouted: "Revenge! Revenge!", and then closed the gate. The soldiers on the wall followed suit and shouted.The sound of shouting in unison quickly spread to the other side of the Mian River, and the tsunami-like shouts of Linjiang Junshan echoed between Tiger Claw Mountain and Dalu Mountain.A large number of Linjiang Army ships moored behind the pontoon bridge are being scuttled by the soldiers one by one.These shipwrecks also have another function, which is to block the Mianshui channel.

About half an hour later, a cloud of dust rose on the horizon in the distance.In the flying dust, looming is a long row of flags that are rising that can't be seen.One after another appeared on the horizontal line of Mianshui, and finally formed overlapping sail shadows.

As Liang Jun's army drew closer and closer, Guan Yu's brows became tighter and tighter. He didn't expect Liang Jun's troops to be so powerful.In front of the Tiger Claw Mountain line of defense, on both sides of the Mian River, there were many black heads.Looking horizontally at a glance, there is no end in sight.In the Mian water, all kinds of Liang Jun warships, big and small, with heavy sails, almost occupied the entire river.At a distance of more than a hundred battles from the pontoon bridge, some berthed at the shore, and some anchored directly in the middle of the river.

The soldiers of the Liang Army on land set up hundreds of camps in a row a hundred battles away from the Tiger Claw Mountain defense line in more than three hours.The camps were separated by ten to twenty battles, and it was completely impossible for Guan Yu's army to infiltrate the Liang army's rear from the front.

When the Liang army had set up camp, Zhao Yun, who served as the general of the Southern Expedition, was surrounded by all the generals and came to Tiger Claw Pass.He raised his hand, and several Liang Jun soldiers with loud voices began to shout: "My family's commander invites General Guan Yu of Linjiang Kingdom to come and answer!"

After shouting several times, Guan Yu walked to the edge of the tower and stood still with his head held high.He just glanced down at the city with disdain, and then stroked his long beard and said in a low voice: "Guan is here, what do the bandit chiefs have to say, tell them quickly!"

Zhao Yun stepped forward immediately, and bowed his fists to the top of the city, saying: "General Guan, this is Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, the commander of the Southern Expedition of Daliang. Today, under the order of the Son of Heaven, this certain is commanding [-] troops to march south to Jingchu. In today's world, The Han Dynasty has actually collapsed, and the disputes and wars among the kings have continued. My lord has opened thousands of miles, integrated business routes, and persuaded farmers to cultivate. The people in the territory of Liang are stable, the soldiers and horses are strong, and the treasury is abundant. Compared with the troubled places outside the country, it is no different Yu Kunpeng is better than ants. This is the image of my lord's destiny. I hope that the general will follow the sky and bring down my beam as soon as possible, so that the ordinary people will not suffer from suffering."

After hearing what Zhao Yun said, Guan Yu laughed wildly.He took the Qinglong Yanyue Knife from the soldiers beside him, and pointed to Zhao Yun: "The Son of Heaven is still alive today, but your master is crowned with a monkey and dares to presume to be the Son of Heaven! Even if the Han Dynasty is extinct today, there is still a certain elder brother, Liu Bei, Uncle Liu Huang, the patriarch of the Han Dynasty, can take on the heavy responsibility of the Han Dynasty. The Spring and Autumn Period has great righteousness, and even if my servants of the Han Dynasty are a little bloody, they will not be reduced to such rebels."

Zhao Yun snorted coldly and said in a loud voice: "Guan Yunchang, Master Ru will use this set of spring and autumn principles to teach you. Don't say that the current Han Dynasty has been ignorant for several generations, and the people in the world have been deprived of life. It seems that their lives are exhausted. Today, the previous ones It’s not that the King of Liang has never tried to help the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty is just a lump of mud that cannot be supported on the wall, and there is no cure. My lord can only obey the destiny and ascend to the throne. In addition, your lord Liu Bei, at first, was just selling seats on the street Whether the shoe seller is really a member of the Han clan, only God knows."

When Guan Yu heard the last sentence, he immediately became furious. He could bear other words, but he couldn't bear the words that questioned Liu Bei's identity as a clan member of the Han family.Grinning his teeth in anger, Guan Yu shouted out of composure: "Evil thief, do you dare to fight XX for [-] rounds? Today I will take your dog's head to avenge you for polluting my brother's reputation!"

Zhao Yun continued to sneer: "It is impossible for us to fight for three hundred rounds, because before the three hundred rounds, you will be killed by a certain gun!"

With a sullen face, Guan Yu walked downstairs with a knife in his hand, and ordered as he walked: "Prepare the horse, and prepare a thousand sword players and a thousand bow and crossbowmen. Let me go and kill this thief!"

A soldier stopped Guan Yu and persuaded him: "General, think twice. The bandit army is huge. If the general goes out of the city, if they take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and attack the closed gate when the general is fighting with the bandit general, how can we do it?" Is good?"

Guan Yu snorted coldly: "It is precisely because the enemy's army is so powerful that a certain person wants to take this opportunity to kill the enemy's general in one fell swoop and greatly weaken his morale, so as to offset the enemy's superiority in strength. As for their indiscriminate behavior A certain method will naturally take precautions."

The closed gate of Huzhuoguan village was opened, and Guan Yu rode his horse galloping out of the gate, followed closely behind by a thousand sword soldiers and a thousand crossbowmen.They came to the front of the formation and quickly formed an army formation behind Guan Yu.The sword soldiers are in front, and the crossbowmen are behind.

Guan Yu reined in his horse, pointed the Qinglong Yanyue Saber into the Liang army's formation, and said, "The thief chief Zhao Yun, come out quickly and die!" Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun hadn't responded yet, but a Liang army general galloped out of the Liang army's formation first.

This person said to Guan Yu sarcastically: "Guan Yu, if you want to fight my boss, you must pass this iron gun in a certain hand first!"

Guan Yu put the saber across the horse's back, lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Qinglong Yanyue Dao can't kill nameless ghosts, report your name."

Seeing Guan Yu's arrogance, the man said angrily, "Your grandfather's surname is Shen Mingyi, you must die!" After saying that, he clamped his legs between the horse's belly and rushed towards Guan Yu.

Shen Yi didn't have anything to do with this expedition, but he made great contributions and made a special trip from the east and west cities of Han to Zhuyang, begged Feng Yu hard, and participated in the southern expedition.He had also heard of Guan Yu's name, but Shen Yi had been staying in Shangyong, Xicheng, governing the region since she confessed to Feng Yu, and had never been on the battlefield.So to put it mildly, he is now in a state where a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. To put it bluntly, it means that the ignorant are fearless.At the moment, he saw Guan Yu coming out to fight one-on-one, and thought it was a great opportunity to make a contribution, so he came out to fight.

Chapter 549 Quick attack strategy

In the blink of an eye, Shen Yi's war horse had rushed in front of Guan Yu.But Guan Yu still held his head up and down, with the Qinglong Yanyue Saber lying across the saddle, his mount even lowered its head carelessly, nibbling on the turf on the ground.

Even so, the closer Shen Yi got to Guan Yu, the more oppressive and murderous she felt.He raised his lance and stabbed it out, shouting: "Go to hell..." Before the words fell, he saw a bright knife light in front of him, and then felt as if he was flying lightly into the air, and finally It will fall down like a dick.

If you look at it from a third-person perspective, his horse is eight feet away from Guan Yu's mount, and the tip of his spear is three feet away from Guan Yu's face.Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Saber flew up in an instant, and slashed away with lightning speed. After a crescent-shaped light trail, Shen Yi's head flew into the sky.When Shen Yi's headless body fell to the ground, thunderous cheers erupted from the Linjiang army.

Guan Yu put the sword on Shen Yi's body, and said in a deep voice, "Where is Zhao Yun? Hurry up and die."

The generals of the Liang army were shocked to see Guan Yu's bravery, and the generals and soldiers beside Zhao Yun persuaded him, "Commander, this guy's sword skills are very powerful. You are the commander of the entire army, and you must not take such a risk." , let me choose a general to fight against him. Or we can just cover up and kill him."

Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "You and others are no match for this person. In addition, if we cover up and kill him directly, brother Shen Yi's body may be turned into powder. How will I explain to his brother? You don't need to worry, I can deal with this with confidence. people."

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he rode out to the front of the battle and shouted: "Guan Yunchang, I guess you are also an upright man. You will never use my robe to marsh the corpse and use it as a tool to blackmail someone in a fight."

Guan Yu stroked his long beard slightly, and said with a sneer: "Do you think that Guan is as shameless as these thieves like you? Take the corpse, and come over to fight!" After finishing speaking, he swung his long knife twice, and first killed Shen Yi without a trace. The head of the corpse was picked up and flew over, and then Shen Yi's head was also hit.The corpse and head fell just before Zhao Yun's horse.

Zhao Yun shouted to the back: "Left and right, come up quickly to collect the corpse, and someone will fight this fellow."

After finishing speaking, he put his legs between the horse's belly and charged towards Guan Yu with a silver gun in his hand.This time, Guan Yu no longer despised his opponent like last time.He also rushed up on his horse, and the green dragon sword hung straight and obliquely in the air.

The two sides passed on the wrong horse in an instant, the point of Zhao Yun's spear brushed Guan Yu's slightly slanted face and pierced the air, and the blade of Qinglong Yanyue knife also passed the tip of Zhao Yun's nose who was already lying on his back on the saddle.The two sides turned their horses' heads and came to hedge again.After going back and forth like this, the two of them have gone through five or six rounds, and they still can't tell the winner.Both of their underwear were drenched in cold sweat.

At this moment, there was a loud drumbeat in Liang Jun's formation, and hundreds of heavily armed cavalry rushed out.It turned out that Yan Yan, the deputy commander, was deeply afraid that Zhao Yun would make a mistake, and secretly ordered the heavy cavalry to attack.In addition to these heavy cavalry, a large number of Liang Jun troops followed slowly.This was obviously a plan to catch a loophole. If the Linjiang army could not retreat in time, they might be able to rush into the city in one go.

Seeing that it was not good, Guan Yu no longer confronted Zhao Yun, and turned his horse back.The crossbowmen and arrows of the Linjiang Army fired at the incoming Liang Jun heavy cavalry and Zhao Yun like a torrential rain.While shooting back, they withdrew to the city gate together with the sword soldiers.

But at this time, those Liang Jun heavy cavalry had already protected Zhao Yun.Arrows rattled and shot at their iron armor, some were bounced off, some were stuck, but the actual damage was very little.

When these heavy cavalry rushed to the vicinity of the Linjiang Army sword soldiers for more than ten battles, Guan Yu had already rode his horse and ran into the Guanzhai. These Linjiang Army soldiers turned their heads and ran away regardless of their formation.Liang Jun's heavy cavalry continued to chase after them, slashing and killing after them.

Before all the soldiers on our side ran into the pass, the suspension bridge of the gate tower of Huzhuo Mountain Pass was hoisted up.Even though these soldiers who hadn't had time to run into the pass knelt outside the city gate and pleaded bitterly, they ignored them.

With a bang, a soldier of the Linjiang army who was still crying towards the top of the city was stabbed to the ground by a heavy cavalry lance, and the rest of them quickly threw away their weapons and raised their hands to surrender.At this moment, arrows from the top of the city, rolling wood and rocks hit the city like rain and hail. Liang Jun, who had just rushed to the city gate, rode his horse and left, pity those Linjiang soldiers who were locked outside the gate , all fell in a pool of blood.

In the wilderness, except for the corpses of more than a hundred Linjiang soldiers, everything has returned to its original state.The two sides fought for the first time, one side lost a general and the other side lost more than a hundred soldiers, and there was no winner.But Liang Jun's soldiers and generals can be regarded as the merits of Guan Yu.

After this battle, no matter how much Liang Jun yelled and scolded in the city, Guan Yu never showed his head again.Zhao Yun followed the entire Tiger Claw Mountain defense line from west to east, carefully investigating, hoping to find a loophole that could quickly capture this place without too high a cost.

In fact, according to Liang Jun's traditional siege tactics, a heavy-duty counterweight trebuchet was built, and a random bombardment could always blast a wide gap in the wood-stone mixed wall.Then the explosive shells covered the gap, the spear and shield soldiers occupied the gap, and the heavy cavalry poured in, and they were able to break through the Tiger Claw Mountain defense line.But it is too time-consuming to do so, and it will take two or three days.In addition, after breaking through the line of defense, it may take five or six days before and after the siege and clearing of the remnant enemies in the two pass cities in the north and the south.

What Feng Yu asked of Zhao Yun was to quickly break through the Yifan defense line, so Zhao Yun set himself the goal of breaking through the Tiger Claw Mountain defense line in one day, and then clearing out the remaining enemies in Guancheng in a maximum of one day.

Zhao Yun crossed Mianshui twice back and forth, and took off in a hot air balloon airship to observe carefully from a bird's-eye view.He found that the Huzhuo Mountain line of defense was to the north, that is, on the side of Liang Jun. It was basically all stone facades, and there were a large number of buckets and tanks prepared on the top of the wall, which was unlikely to be broken by fire.However, the back of the Guan wall and the other three walls of the Guan city are a large number of wooden structures, which can be set on fire.But the premise is to break through the line of defense first, so that the soldiers who set fire can pass.It's really a mouse-bell-hanging conundrum.

Zhao Yun set his sights on the Mianshui pontoon again. If he wanted to break through from the water, at least he had to break through the iron chains that blocked the river first, and then brave all kinds of crossbows and crossbows of the Linjiang Army soldiers on the pontoon bridge, including bed crossbows. , Rush onto the pontoon or break the pontoon.If the pontoon bridge is broken, it is unknown what is under the water behind the pontoon bridge.

Zhao Yun thought over and over again, and finally decided on the idea of ​​quickly attacking the Tiger Claw Mountain defense line.As soon as he jumped off the hot air balloon airship, he summoned the generals to arrange it.

After more than an hour, a large number of Viking ships began to gather in the center of the Mianshui water surface...

Chapter 550

Seeing a large number of opposing ships coming downstream, the Linjiang army on the Mianshui pontoon immediately became alert.A large number of soldiers fell behind the pontoon walls, with their bows and crossbows aimed at the river.Those bed crossbows were also equipped with crossbow guns, ready to be fired.

The soldiers of the Linjiang Army discovered that the Viking ship with a strange style was driving in front, and there were a large number of warships and warships behind.And strangely, there seems to be something dragging between every two Viking ships, cutting the billowing waves on the water.
