Three Kingdoms Star System

Chapter 404 Xu Huang vs. Guan Yu

Early the next morning, Guan Yu ordered the siege of the city. The siege soldiers drove their boats, passed through the destroyed city gate, and entered the city one after another, launching a fierce charge.

But in the city, Wenpin had already ordered people to build a dike overnight. This dike was not high, just less than a few feet above the water, and was not wide. It could only accommodate hundreds of people. However, this dike made Guan Yu's The fleet cannot pass. In order to attack the city, he must first occupy the embankment and then destroy it. However, the opponent is holding on to it, and if he wants to capture it, he must pay a price.

However, Guan Yu didn't care about this point. He has elite soldiers and generals, and he can easily break through a city with thousands of people, so why would he care about a dam with hundreds of people stationed?
Therefore, without Deng Guan Yu's orders, his adopted son Guan Ping led the army to launch a fierce attack on the dam.

"Fire arrows!" Following Guan Ping's order, the soldiers stood on the bow of the ship and fired thousands of arrows in the direction of the embankment.

"Puff puff……"

"Ah ah ah..."

Although the defenders on the embankment were determined to defend to the death, there were few people after all. Under this round of arrow rain, dozens of people died in an instant.

But then I saw someone coming up from the back, still guarding the embankment, trying to shoot back at the attacking enemy soldiers. After that, many people were shot into hedgehogs by the siege soldiers, and then someone resolutely climbed up. Standing on the embankment...

"Damn it, the thieves can't stop killing them. Once they kill one wave, they will come again. If this continues, I don't know how long it will take to capture Xiangyang?" Guan Ping gritted his teeth and cursed secretly. The soldiers rushed forward and seized the dam at all costs.

Then the soldiers under his command began to struggle forward, rushed to the front of the embankment, and started a life-and-death fight with the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army stationed on the embankment.

However, what Guan Ping didn't understand was that there was such a huge gap in the number of the enemy soldiers, but none of them escaped. Instead, they fought desperately with them as if they had a mortal enemy. What was the reason for this?
Of course Guan Ping didn't know that this was due to the loyalty of Kuai Yue and Wenpin, and it was because of Wenpin's words that touched the soldiers in the city. Their firm determination greatly infected the soldiers and they were willing to live and die with the city.

The content of Wenpin's speech was different from that of other generals. Other generals usually only proposed to abide by military discipline and not to escape. At most, they also added the content of being rewarded for meritorious service, but Wenpin asked the soldiers not to take a step back and to fight the invaders to the death. Fight, because behind them is their home, where are their parents, wives and children. These people are eager for them to block the enemy and protect their families from infringement.

"Since the enemy is so frantic and floods Xiangyang City, once the city is defeated, I'm afraid our parents, wives, and children will be slaughtered by them. I'm afraid we're lucky to be able to humble ourselves and save one life. So, in order to To protect our parents, wives and children, we have no choice but to risk our lives and protect Xiangyang City to the death. As long as we persist for two days at most, reinforcements will arrive!"

Wenpin mainly learned his words from Liu He, but he also had to admit that the power of such words to incite the soldiers was indeed shocking, and the effect was several times or even ten times stronger than bounties and silver rewards. .

It was precisely because of this that they were so tenacious in this battle and were able to hold the enemy at bay for nearly two hours.

But after all, the strength of the enemy and ourselves is very different. The two-hour defense has caused the defenders to pay nearly 2000 casualties. Although the enemy suffered more serious injuries, the current defenders have almost no strength to compete with Guan Yu's army.

In fact, the strength of the defenders was not small at first, and the number of soldiers in Xiangyang City alone could reach 3. However, after the previous siege battle and the impact of floods, there are only more than [-] soldiers in the city who can fight. Moreover, because Guan Yu led the army to take advantage of the situation outside the city, Wenpin had to order Wang Wei to divide his troops to guard the dangerous passes of the city wall. In addition, some soldiers were sent to rescue the people. There were only more than two thousand people, after two hours of fierce fighting, these two thousand people were almost exhausted, leaving only more than one hundred soldiers of Wenpin's pro-barracks.

And what they were facing was 7000 people from the Guanping Department.

However, the soldiers under Wenpin did not have the slightest fear. Under Wenpin's personal leadership, they took out their weapons and shouted loudly: "Kill, kill, kill! We swear to live and die with Xiangyang!"

"Huh, I don't know how to live or die!" Guan Yu outside the city heard the shout and knew that the resistance in the city was very weak, so he ordered the soldiers to launch a full-scale attack immediately, and there was a burst of drums.The sound of killing shook the sky, Xiangyang City was in danger and could be destroyed with just a few hands.

However, at this moment, the rumble of horse hooves was heard from behind the formation, accompanied by the sound of horses treading water.

"Huh? Could it be that the reinforcements are coming?" Guan Yu followed the voice, but saw a team coming from behind. This team was well-groomed, and even the pace of the horses was almost the same. There is a large "Xu" character embroidered on Zhengzheng, and there are small characters "Xu, Inspector of Yongzhou" and "General Xu of Han Annan" beside it.

Then Guan Yu saw Yiqi coming galloping from the Central Army, and he felt hot in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Could it be Xu Gongming from Hedong?"

"Exactly, Brother Yun Chang, I haven't seen you for more than twenty years, but your charm is still the same as before."

Xu Huang and Guan Yu were both from Hedong County, Xu Huang was from Yang County, and Guan Yu was from Jie County. They had known each other more than [-] years ago when they were teenagers, and their relationship was quite good. Later, Xu Huang defected to the Yellow Turban Army, but Guan Yu wandered around because of killing people, and finally arrived in Zhuo County and followed Liu Bei.

Then Xu Huang came not far away, and exchanged heart-to-heart talks with Guan Yu, talking about the encounters of so many years, and he was very embarrassed.

However, at this moment, Xu Huang suddenly shouted loudly: "Whoever wins Guan Yu's head will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold!"

Then he swung his big ax and struck at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu was startled when he saw this, and while dodging hastily, he asked, "What are you doing, brother?"

I saw Xu Huang said: "Before we only talked about private affairs in our lives. Now I want to kill you, but each is his own master. I have long heard that Guan Yunchang's martial arts are extraordinary, and he has undeserved courage. Today is a good time to experience your martial arts." After finishing speaking, Xu Huang killed Guan Yu with the big ax one after another, without mercy.

At this time, the soldiers under Xu Huang's command also took action one after another, fighting hard against the enemy.

Guan Yu's soldiers fought for several days, and because they did not get a rest last night, they were already exhausted. Although Xu Huang's soldiers traveled a long distance, their fighting strength and morale were not weakened due to Xu Huang's unique skills, so when they came up, Guan Yu's soldiers were at an absolute disadvantage and were slaughtered by the opponent.

"Isn't this Xu Huang injured before? Why did he recover so well in such a short period of time? What's even more incredible is why the formation of his soldiers is so strict and their combat power is so powerful after a long-distance raid? Could it be this? Xu Huang has been ambushing here for a long time? It seems that I have fallen into the trick of Liu and this boy, but unfortunately I don't have many people under my command, otherwise I must teach that boy a lesson, but for now, it seems that only Withdrew."

Seeing this, Guan Yu knew that nothing could be done, so he sighed and ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.
