Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 173 Showing off his fierce power, Xu Chu made meritorious deeds
  Early in the morning.

The sun had just risen. On Xiapi City, the tired soldiers yawned repeatedly and slowly arranged the defense equipment. Occasionally a couple of whispered complaints came through.

Private soldiers are different from regular armies. Their discipline is too poor. In addition to their numerical superiority, their combat effectiveness is almost negligible.

Cao Bao stood on the tower with a look of fatigue on his face and his spirit was a little listless.

After defending the city for days, there is no hope for this fortified city.

No general in charge of the army expects a war where there is no suspense and defeat is certain.

Boom! ~Boom! ~Boom! ~
  Suddenly, the dull sound of war drums sounded.

Cao Bao's pupils shrank sharply.

On the distant horizon.

Siege engines, ladders, and Yuan Shu's army densely packed like ants.

Ji Ling led thousands of cavalry to the city first and called for formation arrogantly.

"I am Ji Ling, the general under Emperor Zhong's command. How dare you come down to the city to fight with me, Cao Bao Mouse!"

Cao Bao was filled with hatred. If Guan Yu was still in Xiapi at this moment, how could he dare to jump up and down like this.

But in the current situation, if he didn't dare to go to the city to fight against the generals, and his morale would be hit, Ji Ling could take advantage of the situation and launch a general attack.

Private soldiers are inherently fearless and difficult to restrain. Once you lose morale
  But Cao Bao's martial arts skills are mediocre. If he really wants to go down to the city to fight Ji Ling, won't he definitely die?

Cao Bao finally chose to shrink his head. In an instant, the ordinary soldiers on top of the city were in chaos, and the soldiers were running to tell each other.

"Ji Ling is here, Ji Ling is here!"

The soldiers had no fighting spirit. If the governor hadn't been behind to kill the deserters, the city's defense line would have been completely vacant in less than half an hour.

Cao Bao's face was livid, and he suppressed the anger in his heart and listened to Ji Ling's scolding for two hours.

Two hours of time.

The army on Ji Ling's side completely arranged their formation, with more than a dozen siege vehicles lined up neatly, with shield troops in front, archers in the middle, and cavalry on both wings to support them.

Ji Ling saw that it was almost done, stopped yelling and scolded, and returned to the battle with a big smile.

The loud war drums resounded in front of Xiapi City.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The war started again.

Between the attack and defense, the battle was fierce.

Downstairs.

More than a hundred soldiers supported the siege vehicles and ran to the bottom of the city tower, preparing to hit the city gate.

Every time the giant log hanging from the siege truck hits the gate, it will cause the gate to shake.

In front of the city tower.

Rows of ladders hooked on the battlements, and soldiers climbed up one after another.

There was also a towering siege vehicle, the front section of which was set up directly at the top of the city. The soldiers who had been guarding the siege vehicle for a long time directly climbed up to the top of Xiapi City with the help of the front panel.

"General! A large number of Cao's troops were found three miles to the west!"

"Cao Jun?" Ji Ling pushed away the ordering soldier and looked towards the west. Dust was rising in the distance, forming a cloud.

"This Cao Cao didn't come earlier or later, but he has to come now. He is so despicable and shameless!"

Ji Ling looked back at the crumbling Xiapi City. He fired his bow without an arrow to turn back, and finally got his posture back. If he gave up now, not only would he be hopeless in attacking the city, but once the enemy in Xuzhou

When Cao Bao regained his composure, he was about to end up being attacked from both sides.

Immediately he shouted to his deputy Chen Lan: "I will lead the cavalry to repel Cao's army. You step up the attack on the city. We will conquer Xiapi today!"

Chen Lan clasped her fists: "No!"

Cao Jun's front army formation. Xia Houyuan was a little helpless: "Yuan Rang, we seem to be marching too hastily. Ji Ling hasn't broken the city yet, so we will arrive soon. I'm afraid there will be many mishaps."

"If you want to blame, just blame the barbarian. Miaocai didn't know that the barbarian started fighting with flying horses. If he marched a little slower, he might have pulled him out.

When it came to military justice, the boy was ruthless but he was a master who had no relatives. I stayed under his hand for a while, so the march naturally went faster. "

"But the cavalry under Ji Ling's command is really not worth mentioning. You see, he is just leading the charge. The formation is scattered and there is no order. Such cavalry can only be carried out along the Yangtze River.
  They were so cruel. If it had been placed in the north, it would have been broken countless times. "

While the Xiahou brothers were talking, Xu Chu had already led his troops out of the formation without even saying hello.

In front of us, the big flag with the word "Ji" fluttering in the wind.

Xu Chu took the lead and rushed to the front.

Ji Ling.

That was the credit Cao Cao promised him yesterday, and no one is competing for it now.

The moment the two armies met, Xu Chu targeted the man holding a three-pointed two-edged sword and killed him. He roared: "Ji Ling dog thief! Do you know Xu Chu from a certain Qiao County?"

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles. They do not need Xu Chu's command at all and can form formations to kill the enemy on their own.

Yuan Shu's cavalry over there was much worse.

He was already at a disadvantage on war horses and had little experience against cavalry.

When the two armies collided, many people were killed and their horses were turned upside down.

The cavalry led by Ji Ling were scattered by Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry. At this moment, he was also eager to find an opportunity to defeat the enemy.

When he saw the opponent's general, he advanced instead of retreating and faced him directly.

If Cao Jun's cavalry general can be killed in formation, there may be a possibility of a comeback.

"It's just Chen Liu and Zhang Wu. Who do you think Xu Chu from Qiao County is, and he dares to fight me?"

With a three-pointed, two-edged sword in his hand, Ji Ling took Xu Chu directly.

Xu Chu felt angry after hearing this.

Zhang Wu, Zhang Wu, Zhang Wu again!

Could it be that everyone in this world, whether human or ghost, only recognizes that barbarian?

"You are a bitch, but you are worthy of being compared with Chen Liu and Zhang Manzi. Eat my grandpa first!"

Ji Ling's basic martial arts is only 90, and he has no exclusive skills.

And Xu Chu's basic martial arts is an exaggerated 98.

Xu Chu, in a rage, just suppressed Ji Ling and fired like crazy, one blow faster than the other.

In less than thirty rounds, Ji Ling's arms were numb from the shock, and with his heart pounding, he already had the intention of retreating.

Xu Chu found a gap and shouted loudly, the two iron arms holding the knife raised high.

Wherever the blade passed, half of Ji Ling's body was cut off, and the remaining half fell from the horse.

As soon as the general died, the Huainan cavalry, which was already in a rout, became frightened and fled in all directions.

At this moment, the siege vehicle in front of Xiapi City finally broke open the gate.

The heavy city gate collapsed, sending up dust all over the sky.

"Yuan Rang, look, Xiapi City is broken."

"Hahaha, Xu Zhongkang has already made an attack first. Don't compete with me for this achievement."

"What kind of truth is this? To perform meritorious service in front of the formation is all based on ability. Whoever enters the city first will be the first to achieve success!"

As Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun came out of the formation one after another, the army behind slowly started to move towards Xiapi to kill the generals.
