Chapter 338

The first thunder cannon gradually began to burn. Although the Xiangfan area has entered the rainy season again, Guan Yu's Jingzhou Army did not receive the rain god's help this time like last time.

The arrowhead wrapped in cloth soaked in kerosene stubbornly burned once it was nailed to the thunder cannon.

This batch of thunder cannons made by the Jingzhou Army did not go through fire prevention processes such as painting. The lower rockets could still be knocked down by the Jingzhou soldiers who came in and extinguished with clothes.

But they had no choice in the upper position. The Jingzhou Army soldiers who felt sorry for these exquisite weapons began to dismantle this big thing, hoping to save as many intact parts as possible.

"Okay! Charge, charge -!"

The guards of the Wei army on the tower of Xiangyang City saw their cavalry team displaying their power on the battlefield and killing the Jingzhou soldiers. At this time, they roared excitedly and cheered.

The drummer took off his shirt and beat the drum for the cavalry below.

The Wei army defenders, who had been besieged by the Jingzhou army for many days and had been lifeless all day long, vented their fear and depression to their heart's content. For a time, the city was filled with joy and morale was greatly boosted!

Man Chong, who was watching the battle nervously on the tower, couldn't help but clenched his hands that were shaking with excitement.

"Xiao Cun, if you live up to me this time, even if you die on the battlefield, I will support your wife! I promise to keep her rich and honorable throughout her life!"

Man Chong stared at the extremely brave cavalry team that was giving him unlimited hope. Looking at Yuan Zhong who showed no abnormality, he secretly swore in his heart.

He hoped that Li Qiong's information was wrong and that Yuan Zhong was a loyal and loyal person without any second thoughts.

I wish this cavalry team could just burn through thirty stone chariots and defeat the enemy just like Zhang Wenyuan, so that Guan Yu would never dare to think about the Northern Expedition again...

However, happy time is always extremely short.

Man Chong's fantasy time was soon forced to end...

Guan Yu personally led his troops to kill the man who was the nightmare of the Wei army in Xiangfan and whom the late emperor wanted to kill in his dreams.

"Nobody! The great Han chariot general Guan Yu is here, so don't be so arrogant!"

This roar not only made Man Chong's excited heart immediately cool down, but also silenced the soldiers of Wei who were shouting joyfully on the tower.

Even the drummer was so frightened that he missed two beats...

There was no other way. Most of the Wei troops who had just cheered loudly on top of the city were veterans who had been trapped in Fancheng with Man Chong and Cao Ren.

Their horrific memory of Guan Yu is no less than Zhang Liao's memory of the Soochow veterans.

If Zhang Liao could make the children of Soochow stop crying, Guan Yu's arrival would have already made the Xiangfan garrison sleepless...

I saw Guan Yu leading a large group of cavalry, diagonally crossing over, trying to cut off Cao Wei's cavalry from the middle, which was running towards the second thunder cannon.

The timing and speed were all controlled just right.

No matter Yuan Zhong led his team to slow down or change direction, they would all get further and further away from the target Thunder Cannon.

The Jingzhou infantry formation being mobilized in the distance made him very aware of the consequences of doing so.

But if he keeps his current speed and path, he will be intercepted by Guan Yu's cavalry.

Speed ​​up... They are already moving at full speed.

Unless Yuan Zhong gave up the idea of ​​burning the thunder cannon and changed his mind to kill in the direction of Xiangyang City Gate, he might still be able to escape with his life before the Jingzhou Army mobilized to encircle him.

Unfortunately, Yuan Zhong does not have this option at all.

He just gritted his teeth and stared at Guan Yu who was charging towards him with a knife. He tightened his grip on the horse in his hand and let the distance between them get closer and closer without giving any orders.

The cavalry team was torn apart by Guan Yu, and those who stayed behind would only die. He knew this very well, but he still did not give the order.

The team still rushed towards the next Thunder Cannon at full speed... Even if these people who must die seemed to include himself.

The two high-speed torrents quickly converged.

"Come on, common man!"

Guan Yu swung the strange long-handled sword. At the same time, Yuan Zhong also stabbed Ma Shan, who was already ready to attack.

"what--!"

Unlike Guan Yu, Yuan Zhong, who had tried his best, no longer had the energy to say anything harsh.

He could hardly feel his arms anymore. This attack had no strength at all and could only rely on the speed of the mount to bring damage. Unfortunately, his tired arms could not provide much accuracy.

Guan Yu easily missed the blow with the green dragon sword pole he swung, and then called out his arms with a swift horizontal slash!

clang!
With one strike of the knife, the iron armor on Yuan Zhong's head was chopped into pieces.

Literally chopped... The iron armor flew into the air, and all the armor pieces where the blade passed were broken into two pieces and flew apart.

Also flying up together was Yuan Zhong's tied up hair.

With the rest of his short hair hanging down, Yuan Zhong let the horse carry him forward in a daze, and even forgot to feel grateful for surviving.At that moment, he actually felt like he was dead.

Guan Yu's red rabbit wiped his horse's butt and rushed into the cavalry. He waved a green dragon sword repeatedly. In the flash of the sword, several good heads rolled to the ground...

The first person to bear the brunt was Man Chong's cronies who had been following Yuan Zhong on horseback.

Some people even had half of their shoulders chopped off. The mysterious armor they were wearing was as papery and vulnerable to Guan Yunchang's Qinglong Sword.

"it is good!"

"Kill—!"

Amidst the sound of war drums, the cheers and shouts did not disappear, but they were transferred from the Wei army on the tower to the Han army outside the city.

Guan Yu's display of great power immediately ignited the morale of the Jingzhou army.

And since Yuan Zhong, those who have fought against Guan Yu have never been as lucky as him. They were all instantly killed by Guan Yu in just one move.

Is Yuan Zhong not dead... really lucky?

At least the sullen Man Chong on the tower didn't think so.

"Yuan! Zhong!"

Man Chong smashed the city wall hard, no longer having any hope for the outcome of the battle behind the cavalry.

The mercy of Guan Yu's sword was so obvious that Man Chong felt that these two people were making fools out of him on the tower.

Is it tolerable, which is unbearable? !
But Yuan Zhongke on the battlefield did not expect so much. He had just recovered from the fear of death.

He still galloped toward the second thunder cannon, but Yuan Zhong, who had just walked around the gate of hell, was already scared.

Courage, loyalty, responsibility... have all been smashed to pieces. Facing the fear of death, these things are as vulnerable as his iron armor.

"Turn around! Fight back!"

The fear of being dominated by Guan Yunchang was deeply imprinted in Yuan Zhong's heart. At this moment, he just wanted to fight back to Xiangyang, but he no longer cared about that much.

"Most of the cavalry have been intercepted by Guan Yu's team. Without cavalry shooting, how can we burn the remaining stone chariots? If we continue to charge, we will just die in vain... Yes, this is just to preserve our strength!"

Yuan Zhong kept making various excuses for himself in his mind.

A soldier is the prestige of a general, and a general is the courage of a soldier.

Even the general has ordered a retreat, who will continue to die?

The cavalry immediately turned around and drew an arc towards the west gate of Xiangyang.

The cronies arranged by Man Chong have been killed by Guan Yu, and no one makes a different sound.

Man Chong on the top of the city had a dark face and his nose was crooked with anger, but there was nothing he could do.

"The thief will leave! Yiyang Fu Xu is here, keep your head!"

"what!"

Unexpectedly, just after escaping from the tiger's mouth, they encountered a pack of wolves again. A brave general with a spear and a horse blocked their way again.

The cavalry that had just turned lost its speed advantage, and when everyone wanted to save their lives, they lost the life-threatening energy they had at the beginning. The moment the two armies clashed, they were immediately killed and turned upside down.

"Look at the gun!" Fu Wei, who was coming towards him, fiercely thrust his gun at Yuan Zhong.

Yuan Zhong made a dangerous move like a leprosy dog, lying on his horse to avoid the shot, and was lucky to escape again.

Unfortunately, there are gradually fewer and fewer friendly troops around him.

"Zhao Lei is here, the thief will take one of my spears!"

The blow was lighter than expected. Yuan Zhong luckily blocked it and Ma Shan finally let go and fell to the ground.

In panic, he pulled out the single sword from his waist and shouted to the Jingzhou soldiers in front with a fierce look: "Get out of the way! Anyone who doesn't want to die, get out of the way!"

Faced with heavy siege, Yuan Zhong, who was already desperate, was surprised to find that the Han army in front seemed to be frightened by his "amazing momentum" and actually gave him a way out!

However, Man Chong, who had been paying attention to the situation below, could clearly see from the tower that beside Guan Yu, who had eliminated the rear cavalry, the soldier carrying the flag was waving the flag crazily.

He was clearly giving an order.

"Ha, hahahaha! Hurry, open the city gate! Hurry!" The gate of Xiangyang City was close at hand. Yuan Zhong, who had escaped with his life, had a distorted smile on his face, waving his single sword and shouting loudly upward.

Man Chong had a cold face and a cold light in his eyes, and said calmly: "Let him in."
