Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 173 Attacking Runan

In front of the gate passage.
Because there are two armies fighting, blood and flesh are flying, and it has become like hell, both sides are fighting to the death.

In the houses not far from the city gate, the people also woke up from their deep sleep. They couldn't sleep peacefully amidst the loud noises. When they heard the sound of fighting outside, they also understood what happened in the city. After all, the gate of the city has not been opened during the day, and the defenders in the city are frequently mobilized.

He didn't dare to take half a step out at all, so he could only hide in the house and wait for the matter to pass.

The fire plates placed on both sides of the city gate passage also fell to the ground due to the fighting between the two armies, making the front of the city gate passage become flickering, and with the two armies fighting, it looked a bit gloomy.

squeak~~
When the two armies are fighting each other.

The city gate was also pushed open by dozens of Bingzhou wolf riders. They knew that the first task now was to push open the city gate, send out a signal, and wait for the arrival of the siege army.

Wait until the city gate is pushed open enough for one person to pass through.

Zhang Liao's cronies also rushed out of it, walked directly to the city gate, drew a loud arrow from behind, and pulled it away.

bang~~
The sounding arrow that was drawn flew into the sky, exploded, and emitted a bright light in the dark night sky.

The defenders on the city wall also stepped down from the city wall one after another and joined the battle.

Although the elite wolf cavalry of Bingzhou fought bravely, they were few in number and the defenders were numerous. They also slowly retreated to the passage of the city gate. Taking advantage of the narrow terrain, the advantages of the large number of defenders were also brought into play. If you don't come out, keep the city gate.

The defender of the city saw the city gate slowly being opened, and he was extremely anxious. He also knew the consequences once the city gate was opened, but he could only watch helplessly as the city gate was opened. The leading Bingzhou wolf cavalry guarded the passage of the city gate and could not attack at all. At least it would not be possible to regain control of the passage of the city gate for a while.

Zhang Liao was holding a long spear in his hand, and he had already thrown away his saber. The long spear he had snatched from the defenders was fighting with the soldiers of Bingzhou wolf riders in the front, and one by one the defenders fell on him. under the spear.

The passage of the city gate was also stained red with blood.

Countless soldiers fell in front of the passageway of the city gate, blood flowed all over the place, some were defenders, some were riding Bingzhou wolves.

When someone falls, someone will make up for it. Those who have fallen one after the other, both sides have already killed each other, refusing to give in to each other. The passage of the city gate is like a meat grinder, devouring countless lives.

Step, step, step.
There was the sound of hoofs.

I saw a cavalry appeared on the street in front of the city gate passage.

The leader is none other than the general of Runan City, Chen Ji.

Knowing the arrival of Liu Qi's army, Chen Ji had already made all preparations to defend the city, and even sent people to Shouchun to ask for help, but he didn't expect that there would be enemy troops sneaking into the city. came in.

At this time, he thought that the soldiers who sneaked into the city were sent by Liu Qi, and he never thought that there would be other people among them.

"General!" The city guard saw Chen Ji appearing, and ran up quickly.

Holding a big knife in his hand, Chen Ji looked at the hundreds of Bingzhou wolf riders left in the passageway of the city gate, as well as the half-opened city gate, his eyes were fixed, and he said, "Let the soldiers retreat!"

When he came here this time, he brought all the cavalry from Runan City, a total of 3000 people. Looking at the passageway of the city gate full of corpses, he also knew that if he wanted to take back the city gate, it would not be possible to complete it in a short time if only relying on infantry.

However, if it was cavalry, it would be different, and the remaining hundreds of cavalry were holding knives instead of spears, so it was impossible to resist their cavalry charge.

"promise!"

The partial general did not hesitate, and issued an order to make the city defenders retreat and get out of the way.

At the gate passage.

Holding a long spear in his hand, Zhang Liao stabbed a city guard to death, but did not pursue the retreating guard. Now he was covered in blood all over his body, even his face.

However, that was all the blood spattered by beheading the defenders of the city.

After seeing a round of fierce fighting, the remaining Bingzhou wolf cavalry soldiers also gathered behind Zhang Liao, also covered in blood. Facing the thousands of cavalry soldiers in front of them, as well as many city guards, there was nothing in their eyes. There is no look of fear, only a fearless fighting spirit.

Zhang Liao also frowned. Although the Bingzhou wolf cavalry he led was an elite division, it was hard to say against the cavalry, and if they had horses, even if there were hundreds of them left, they would not be afraid of the cavalry in front of them. Thousands of cavalry.

He is not afraid, but just afraid of losing the opportunity to capture Runan City.

Since they came out of Chang'an, their Bingzhou soldiers and horses have no fixed place to live and need a place to recuperate. Bingzhou, they also want to go back, but they ignore the people of Bingzhou and lead their troops to Luoyang. When the people of Bingzhou were abused by the Huns, they What kind of face is there again?

Also in order to preserve the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou, he, Lu Bu and others would agree to Liu Qi's plan.

I would rather die than retreat!This is the truest thought in Zhang Liao's mind, there is only this one chance, if you miss it, you will never get it back.

"war!"

Zhang Liao swung the spear in his hand and shouted.

"Battle! Fight! Fight!"

The remaining hundreds of Bingzhou elite wolf cavalry also raised their weapons and shouted firmly.

There was a loud cry, although there were only a few hundred people, but the will within them was like a thousand troops, the voice shook the heavens and the earth, as if it wanted to pierce the sky.

The surrounding Runan defenders, hearing the shouts of the Bingzhou wolf riders, took a step back involuntarily, with fear in their eyes, and were stunned, as if no matter how many of them rushed up, they would be beheaded.

Chen Ji's pupils shrank, not planning to let Zhang Liao go on like this, he swung his sword and shouted, "Charge!"

Now the defenders of the city have all retreated to the side, leaving a way to charge, allowing the cavalry to rush straight to the passage of the city gate, beheading the enemy, and retaking the city gate, which is the most important task now.

Boom~~
Following Chen Ji's order, thousands of cavalry also charged.

Three thousand war horses galloped together, the earth trembled, as if unstoppable, the momentum was like a rainbow, like a torrent, rushing towards Zhang Liao and others.

brush~~
The remaining hundreds of Bingzhou elite wolf cavalry also made moves at the same time. Instead of defending at all, they formed an arrow formation and an attack formation.

"kill!"

Zhang Liao yelled, and holding a long spear in his hand, as the arrow of the arrow array, he rushed towards the thousands of cavalry who were charging.

Hundreds of elite wolf cavalry from Bingzhou followed behind Zhang Liao, divided into left and right sides, formed an arrow formation with Zhang Liao as an arrow, and went up to thousands of cavalry.

The soldiers of their Bingzhou wolf cavalry, even if they die, will die on the way of charging. The only regret is that they don't know if they can hold on until the army enters the city.
