Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 350 Gu Rubing finally arrives and knocks the boulder away with his force

Ten miles away from Chengde, Taishi Ci stabbed Han Dang's heart with his halberd, and finally hundreds of cavalrymen fell to the ground one by one under the continuous shooting of bows and crossbows by other scouts.

Ten thousand cavalrymen never encountered Taishi Ci and his men from beginning to end. Although this was partly due to Han Dang's personal reasons, more importantly, it was because Taishi Ci and his men were too well-equipped.

Not to mention Zhuge Liang's crossbow, just talking about the horses between the two sides, the horses of Taishi Ci and his scouts were all big horses from Xiliang. They could travel eight hundred miles a day and one thousand miles at night. These were unique horses that were only available in the Longxi horse farm in Xiliang. Han Dang and his war horses were just ordinary war horses, how could they catch up with Taishi Ci and his men.

This is also the most fundamental reason for their failure. They can't beat the enemy, they can't catch up with the enemy, and they can't escape. Let alone fighting the enemy, even touching the enemy is a luxury.

"Let's go. I believe that the lord and his men have already started fighting with the thief Sun. Let's go and lend a helping hand to the lord."

Taishi Ci wiped the blood off his halberd and smiled wickedly. The third brother, who was responsible for helping Gu Rubing to clear out the Sun bandit's stronghold, had also rushed back at this moment. After hearing Taishi Ci's words, he also smiled.

"General, this Zhuge Crossbow is so useful. Our original crossbows could only fire one arrow at a time, with low power and accuracy, but this Zhuge Crossbow makes up for all the shortcomings. It's amazing."

The third brother held the Zhuge Crossbow in his hand and now regarded it as a treasure and couldn't let it go.

"Hahaha, come on, you almost treat Zhuge Liannu as a woman. Can it still warm your bed at night?"

Ma Rulong, another leader standing nearby, mocked him, but the third brother was not moved at all by Ma Rulong's mockery.

"I just used it to warm the bed, what's wrong with that?"

"You are awesome, you are awesome!"

Ma Rulong couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the third brother, and Taishi Ci smiled and kicked each of them.

"Alright, stop being so rude and go support the lord and his men."

Taishi Ci led hundreds of scouts and galloped towards the Chengde military town.

On the other side, in Chengde Military Town, Gu Rubing had already led 350,000 Yellow Turban reserve troops to fight against Sun Jian's reserve troops.

An army of more than 200,000 was under the command of Zhou Yu, fighting in Chengde with Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and others. Only less than 100,000 people were left with Sun Jian. Even though they were regular troops, when facing an army of 350,000, Sun Jian's soldiers all felt more or less afraid.

However, this fear soon disappeared. The armies of both sides collided like two tides. Sun Jian's face was heavy. After all, they failed to completely defeat Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others before Gu Rubing arrived.

"Go, inform the Grand Commander, and have him lead all the remaining people to support us. Use the catapults to crush Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others in the city! And Bofu, tell him not to guard the East City anymore, and come here to support us as well."

Zhou Yu also saw the huge army, and the haze in his heart came over him again, just like last time, also in the final stage. He only needed one last step to win the battle and get the permanent bonus of perseverance. However, when he saw the surging army rushing towards Chengde, he knew that he might not win this battle again.

"Don't they have any physical strength to consume? Why haven't we been able to defeat them after fighting for seven hours? Not only have we failed to defeat them, but their physical strength doesn't seem to have decreased at all!"

Zhou Yu clenched his fists and whispered to himself.

"Report! Commander-in-Chief, the lord has ordered you to lead all the remaining people to support the lord. Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others in Chengde Military Town are to be killed indiscriminately using catapults and giant crossbows!"

After hearing the messenger's words, Zhou Yu did not hesitate and nodded to the bugle soldier beside him. The bugle soldier immediately understood and blew the horn for retreat.

At this moment, in the Chengde military town, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Zhang He, leading 20,000 cavalry, have been forced into a dead end. Only the last three streets are still under their control. Fighting in such a small territory, the cavalry simply cannot exert their due combat effectiveness.

They had no way to retreat. At this moment, even if they rushed out of the East City, they would still not be able to escape the fate of being destroyed by Sun Ce who was waiting for them at ease. Moreover, Sun Ce was a cavalryman and his combat power was stronger. It would be better for them to stay in the city so that they could kill more people. Killing one would not cost them anything, and killing two would still be a profit.

After Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun once again took a bath in the enemy sea, they returned to their own position, with Zhao Yun's face full of apologies.

"Brother Yide, it's all my fault. I acted on impulse and shouldn't have tried to be a hero. I cut off the retreat route, and now I'm causing my two brothers to wait for death here with me."

"Hey, brother Zilong, that's not true. I don't like hearing you talk like that. What do you mean by being a burden? Brothers should live and die together. If you talk like that again, don't blame me for being angry."

After hearing what Zhao Yun said, Zhang Fei immediately became unhappy, puffing his beard and glaring. His right arm, which had been injured by Huang Gai and three other second-rate generals, had just been bandaged.

"That's right. There is no such thing as a burden or not. Brothers, we walk together and we have a companion on the road."

Zhang He took a deep breath and tied the white gauze on his right arm tightly. This was the bandage his master had given him when he had just joined the army. On the battlefield, hands cannot be bandaged like ordinary injuries. They must be tied tightly enough to minimize blood outflow and not affect the blood circulation of the injured enemy.

"Okay, my two brothers, let's kill them until they are terrified! Even if we die here, we must make sure that they remember us and are afraid of us. When they mention us in the future, even their babies won't dare to cry anymore!"

Zhao Yun smashed the Longdan Bright Silver Spear heavily to the ground. The sword tied to the tip of the spear had disappeared. The sun had begun to set at noon, and the weather was getting colder and colder. The blood from the injury had frozen in the wound, and when he tapped it gently, it made a crisp sound.

The Chengde military town was already a sea of ​​blood and corpses. The blood that had flowed out had already solidified. Spring had not yet fully arrived, and the cold at this time was more unbearable than the severe winter. The dead bodies had become stiff and had lost their original warmth. This spectacular battle took place a few days after the beginning of spring, when there was a late spring cold snap.

The chilly spring weather freezes the young man to death!

The white breath exhaled from people's mouths was like a short and warm spring breeze, making them feel that they were still alive in the world at this moment.

"kill!"

Zhang Fei was the first to shout, raising high the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand which had already turned dark red, and rushed towards the enemy. The Wuyun Taxue under his crotch was no longer as handsome as before, and its hair was covered with blood.

"Fight until death!" Zhao Yun growled, with murderous intent in his eyes. He should be the person who killed the most enemy generals in this siege. The three second-rate generals before the war, the two second-rate generals after the war, a dozen third-rate generals, and several second-rate generals who followed Huang Gai to besiege Zhang He, were all killed by Zhao Yun.

Zhang He was also saved by Zhao Yun at the risk of his life from Huang Gai's hands. In the end, Zhao Yun was hit on the back by Huang Gai's mace, but still pierced Huang Gai's shoulder, forcing Huang Gai to withdraw from the battle and unable to fight again.

He stretched his jaw and moved his injured arm, then opened his palm and clenched his fist, opened his palm and clenched his fist again. He repeated this process to quickly restore the blood flow to his injured arm.

"Only by dying can I repay the kindness of knowing me."

Zhang He's voice was very low, as if he was only talking to himself. He clenched his weapon with his other uninjured hand and calmly faced the countless troops that were surrounding them.

Just as the enemy's encirclement was gradually shrinking, a retreat horn suddenly sounded from the enemy camp. Zhang Fei and his men, who had been ready to fight, watched the enemy army retreat like a tide. Before they could react, they saw a dozen flaming missiles flying towards them from the sky.

"Damn it!"

Zhao Yun was shocked. The other party no longer cared about the casualties of the people in the city and began to use this kind of large-scale lethal weapons, wanting to completely destroy them here.

Outside the east city wall, Sun Ce looked at more than a dozen huge rocks falling into the city with a trace of disdain on his face.

“No matter how powerful you are, it is only useful if you survive. If you can’t survive, you will lose your life and everything else will be in vain.”

Sun Ce looked at the raging flames in the city and smiled faintly. A messenger ran up to him.

"Sir, the lord has told you that you no longer need to stay here and asked you to go back."

"Okay, I know."

Sun Ce no longer looked inside the city, turned his horse around and left.

Inside the city, Zhao Yun spat out a mouthful of blood. Just now, Zhao Yun single-handedly knocked away four huge rocks that were supposed to fall into the army, but the huge impact force of the rocks also caused Zhao Yun internal injuries. For him, fighting with the enemy, as he had the characteristic of Gu Rubing to replenish his strength at any time, was not too stressful. However, this kind of huge rock was different and could only be opened by brute force.

If such a huge rock burning with fire were allowed to fall directly into the army, the damage caused would be unimaginable. The only way to avoid the rock from falling into the army is to use tremendous force to change its trajectory.

"here we go again!"

Zhang Fei shouted angrily and stopped supporting Zhao Yun. He held the spear in one hand, bent his legs, and flew into the sky like a cannonball, smashing a huge rock in the middle and then knocking the other four rocks away before falling back to the ground.

As soon as he landed, Zhang Fei couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood. After all, he was a famous general and was slightly stronger in basic combat power. He was also better than Zhao Yun in facing the boulders and knocked away the five boulders in the second round. However, he was by no means unharmed. He was still shaken by the boulders and his blood surged up. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Before the two men could catch their breath, another wave of boulders flew towards them. Zhang He was not as strong as Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei to begin with, and he was seriously injured. However, Zhang He still jumped up without hesitation and changed the trajectory of the two boulders. Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei tried their best to suppress the surging blood in their bodies and helped Zhang He block the other two.

Zhang He's arm, which had just stopped bleeding with great difficulty, began to bleed again. The bright red blood soaked the gauze and remained on the cold armor, adding a touch of warmth to the armor.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei were also feeling uncomfortable. They had been unable to suppress the blood in their bodies to begin with, and now they could not help themselves and spit out blood.

During the seven-hour battle, although their physical strength had been maintained at the best condition, their condition had actually been declining. It was just that the decline was extremely slow, forming a balance that would not be broken in a short time. However, these boulders broke the balance, which caused the injuries accumulated in the previous seven hours of fighting to suddenly erupt.

Fortunately, after the three-wheeled catapults fired in unison, there was finally no fourth wave of volleys. There definitely wouldn't be too many of these huge stones in stock. Even if it was an attack on a large city, at most twenty or thirty stones would be enough to capture it.

Sun Jian had already made preparations in advance and prepared fifty of these huge boulders for siege. For this purpose, Sun Jian also gave up carrying some food and grass, and chose to leave with some of the food and grass, so that he had enough manpower to bring the fifty siege stones.

Zhou Yu had used up more than a dozen of the fifty boulders when he first conquered the city wall, and the three waves of volleys just now had used up all of them.

The tar covered on the boulders was the most difficult to extinguish after being ignited. Even though the boulders did not have a direct impact, the splashing debris ignited the nearby houses and started a raging fire. Those flames, like a demon with bared fangs and claws, easily took the lives of the people who were hiding in the houses and had not dared to go out for a long time.

The fire soon surrounded them. Their only way at this moment was to rush out of the city gate and then fight their way out of Sun Ce.

Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Zhang He looked at each other and immediately understood each other's thoughts. It was better to take a chance than to wait here and be burned to death. Maybe they could get a glimmer of hope.

But when they rushed out of the city gate with a fearless spirit, they found that Sun Ce and his cavalry, who were supposed to be stationed here, had disappeared.

"Brother, it must be my brother coming!

Zhang Fei pointed to the distance and saw Sun Jian's troops seemed to be fighting with someone.

"There are still traces of Sun Ce and his army stationed there, so they must have just left not long ago. I guess Zhou Yu's troops in the city retreated because of this. The enemy must be strong to force Sun Jian, the bastard, to transfer Zhou Yu, Sun Ce and all the troops. It seems to be the lord."

Zhang He analyzed calmly, and then loosened the gauze that was tied very tightly on his right arm. Although tying it too tightly would be more conducive to combat, it would also cause the wound to rupture again, or make the wound more difficult to heal, so it was only an emergency method that could be used on the battlefield.

"Without further delay, we have to go and tie up my brother!"

The few of them hit it off immediately and took the remaining 20,000 cavalry and less than 10,000 infantry to attack Sun Jian's rear, thus escaping from the tiger's den and entering the dragon's pool.

Gu Rubing, who was standing at the front of the battlefield, was furious when he saw the catapults attacking the city in the distance.

"Sun Jian! If any of my brothers is injured, I will make you buried with my brother!"

Gu Rubing had a ferocious look on his face and stared at Sun Jian viciously, with murderous intent almost overflowing from his eyes!
