Chapter 91 Emergency
"Up! Go! Hurry up and give it to me!" Cao Hong had been drenched by the rain, but he continued to roar and ask the soldiers to continue to attack the city. In front of him, the soldiers who carried the bodies came and went in a hurry, but at the same time, the siege had not stopped.
"General Zilian!" Just as Cao Hong was busy commanding, an urn voice came from behind him. Cao Hong looked back, but it was Xu Chu.
"General Zhong Kang, what are you?" Cao Hong looked at not only Xu Chu, but also the heavily armed five thousand tiger guards. Suddenly, he was confused.
"The lord asked us to help the general take down the Pujin Pass!" Xu Chu only said one sentence. Cao Hong was already overjoyed when he heard the words: "With the help of the Tiger Guard, it is naturally easy to take down the Pujin Pass!" Then he personally beat the drum to cheer for Xu Chu.
"Is it the Tiger Guard?" Zhao Feng saw the tiger guard soldiers dressed in heavy armor, like mobile fortresses, and he also beat the drums unexpectedly. Although the Danyang elite soldiers under his command are rare elites, they are still worse than the Tiger Guards. Look around, I have killed and injured more than 500 people today, leaving only more than 3,000 people. And there are at least 5,000 people in the Tiger Guard. Even with the help of the city gate, he used 3,000 people to resist the 5,000 tiger guards, Zhao Feng was not sure.
"Damn it, Cao Mengde really has a hard time. It seems that he has to fight!" Zhao Feng gritted his teeth and said in his heart. At this moment, the Tiger Guard had climbed up the ladder under the leadership of Xu Chu himself. Naturally, the defenders will not let them come up so easily, rolling stones and arrows together. But the reason why the Tiger Guard Army is the elite of Cao Jun is not unreasonable. First of all, the speed of climbing is much faster than that of ordinary soldiers. In addition, in the face of rolling stones and arrows, they are much better than ordinary soldiers in dodging or blocking. In addition, they are wearing iron armor with strong defensive ability. In this way, the casualties caused by them during the whole climbing process are simply not to worry about.
"Kill!" After the first one jumped to the head of the city, Xu Chushan waved his knife twice, and the two soldiers who came to take over the battle were immediately cut into two sections. After the third knife was waved, Xu Chu suddenly felt a force on his knife handle, and then the curvature cut by the big knife in his hand suddenly turned to one side, and the knife was cut on the wall brick.
"Zhao Botao!" Seeing that it was Zhao Feng who cut this knife, Xu Chu's fighting spirit suddenly burned in his eyes and knew that he had met a strong opponent. Kill!" The two of them launched at the same time. The silver gun and the mountain king knife came and went, and it was inexplicable.
Zhao Feng knew that he was afraid that it would be bad to challenge Xu Chu alone with his martial arts skills, but if he shrank his head, the rest of the people would naturally be even worse. Seeing that Xu Chu came first, he could only pester him first, and then the others were handed over to the soldiers. Whether he can withstand the Tiger Guard, Zhao Feng actually has no confidence at all. It's just that up to now, we can only resist.
"Good boy, he is so strong that he is no less powerful than Zhang Fei!" Zhao Feng felt that every knife cut by the other party was almost a groundbreaking force. Every time he fought hard against him, his arms were sore. With the two of them as the center, within a radius of one foot, ordinary people can't get close at all, otherwise they will inevitably be affected and cut into a pile of pieces.
"Lord, the Tiger Guards are all on. It's not a problem to take down Pujin Pass today!" Looking at the fierce battle on the head of the city across the Yellow River, Jia Xu comforted softly. Cao Shen nodded and didn't say anything. He just continued to watch.
"Dang!" Once again, the knives and guns intersected, and Zhao Feng and Xu Chu each stepped back a few steps. The former is certainly not very uncomfortable. In the face of Xu Chu's crazy power, he can only deal with it with a Taiji gun at the beginning, but it is too passive to defend and not attack for a long time. Xu Chu was also uncomfortable. There seemed to be a whirlpool of force in the other party's shooting skills. Every move he cut out, and the result was a tiger's head and snake's tail, and his strength was not used.
"Damn, you can't compete with your strength. You can only rely on speed!" As soon as Zhao Feng gritted his teeth, he abandoned the Taiji gun. The Yang family tried his best to attack but not defend, and stabbed Xu Chu's whole body with all his strength. Although Xu Chu did not know these two ways of shooting, he also knew that the other party had changed his moves now, so he also had the spirit to continue to fight with him. Although he is very strong, Zhao Feng is fast enough to be stabbed with one shot, and he was already in front of his key in an instant. The two of them attacked each other, and unconsciously fought down dozens of rounds.
The two of them are fighting fiercely, and the rest of them are not idle. Under the leadership of Niu Jin and Zhang Ni, the battle in the rest of the world was also extremely fierce. The Tiger Guards are indeed the elite of the world. The defenders stabbed them with long guns on the head of the city, but they were often caught by the other party. They were dragged down inadvertently, but themselves. After a long scuffle, if Niu Jin hadn't led people around to fill in the gaps and relying on Zhang Yi alone, I'm afraid that hundreds of enemy troops would have come up to the city. Even so, the number of casualties of the defenders has also risen sharply.
"Ah!" Blocking Zhao Feng's shot at his face, the two separated again. Zhao Botao, that's it!" At this moment, Cao Xiu looked at the situation on the top of the city and said gently. Since the Tiger Guards joined the battle, the casualties of the defenders have exceeded 1,000 in just one hour. Of course, the Tiger Guard has also left the same people. But now as long as the army continues to attack, it can take the head of the city in half an hour at most. This loss is still worth it.
"Damn it, is it that the Tiger Guard is so powerful that I can't do it as soon as I get into the battle?" Zhao Feng looked at Xu Chu, who was also panting, and thought of it with hatred in his heart. Can't I stick to it until now? At the right time, he has fought with Xu Chu for nearly 200 moves, which is almost the most difficult battle in his life, and he is almost to the limit.
"Come again!" Xu Chuhu roared, and Shanjun's knife split over again. Zhao Feng gritted his teeth and followed again. At this moment, four halberds suddenly handed out from his side, two straight to Xu Chu's lower abdomen, and two blocked his Shanjun knife. Xu Chu was shocked and hurriedly returned the knife to separate the four times, but Zhao Feng's shot at his heart could not be completely avoided, and he hurried dodged was still pierced in the ear.
"Fuck in the camp?" Xu Chu and Zhao Feng blurted out at the same time. This kind of halberd is the standard equipment of the camp. Zhao Feng looked back in astonishment, but saw that a large group of soldiers in the camp had come to the city. With their assistance, the originally precarious situation suddenly improved.
"Is this?" Xu Chu and Zhao Fengshi fought with all their strength, and neither of them knew where this strange soldier came from. Especially Zhao Feng, he also hoped that Hao Zhao could arrive early, but he didn't expect to come in the camp, which was a big accident. Of course, he was surprised and happy, and Xu Chu was shocked and angry.
"General Zhao, the young general Hao Zhao is here!" At this moment, Hao Zhao's voice came. Zhao Feng shot Xu Chu away, but he saw that it was Hao Zhao who came to help. Zhao Feng knew that it was not the time to speak. With the help of Hao Zhao's camp, the situation in the city had changed a lot. After a fierce battle, Xu Chu and the Tiger Guard were also forced to retreat from the city. This fierce battle lasted for more than two hours, but the result was nearly 2,000 casualties on both sides, which shows the degree of tragedy.
"Please forgive me, it's too late in the future!" After the enemy retreated, Hao Zhao quickly saluted. It's not too late, Bo Dao, why did you bring your fellow camp here? After Zhao Feng took a breath, he also asked quickly.
"The 500 trap camp was transferred to Wuguan before. The last general was worried about the situation in Pujin Pass, so he led the 500 trap camp and borrowed horses from the general of the king of Tongguan to ride a horse first. The remaining 20,000 reinforcements can arrive in an hour at most!" Hao Zhao gasped a little.
"Prevention?" Zhao Feng was stunned when he heard the words. Who expected that he would be in danger today, so he had already ambushed the reinforcements? After thinking about it, except Zhuge Liang, no one should be able to guess that he would march from Wuguan Road. Thinking of this, Zhao Feng also had to admire this guy.
"Lord, it seems that reinforcements have come?" On the other side of the Yellow River, Jia Xu looked at the Tiger Guards retreating from the top of the city and whispered. Cao Xiu nodded, but didn't say anything. After a while, Xu Chu, who was out of breath, ran back to plead guilty and said, "Master, the last general is incompetent. He can't defeat the camp and failed to take down the head of the city. The tiger guard was killed and injured by nearly 2,000. Please punish him."
"The Tiger Guard suffered nearly 2,000 casualties?" After listening to Xu Chu's words, even Jia Xu couldn't help but be a little moved. The Tiger Guard is the most elite infantry of Cao's army. In previous battles, there were hundreds of casualties at most. Today, nearly 2,000 people died, which is really an unprecedented major setback. At this time, Cao Yan said, "Are you coming to the camp?"
"Exactly, but I didn't see Gao Shun!" Xu Chu replied. . Cao Wei nodded, and then sent someone to order Cao Hong on the other side of the river to continue to attack the city without mentioning it. At the same time, he sent out scouts to inquire about the nearby news.
"Hold on for another hour, and the reinforcements will come!" After getting the news, the fighting spirit of the few remaining defenders burned again. Cao Hong is not Xu Chu, and the pressure on him to attack the city will be much less. Just attack and defend step by step. After fighting for only half an hour, although the reinforcements have not arrived yet, an unexpected thing happened.
It has been raining since the morning. It has been raining for more than half a day, and it has been raining a lot. In this way, the flow of the Yellow River, which was originally flat, gradually became turbulent. And the pontoon bridge built on the river also began to shake.
"Come on, come with me to strengthen the pontoon bridge!" Cao said in a hurry. This pontoon bridge is hard to come by. Because the ships dozens of miles upstream and downstream have been requisitioned by Zhao Feng, and the pontoon bridge built later was destroyed by him twice, it is not easy for this pontoon bridge to survive until now. If it wants to do something good or wrong, if it wants to rebuild a floating bridge, it will really be the Year of the Monkey. This also means that Cao Hong, who is stranded on the west bank of the river, will become an isolated army. Although there are only about 2,000 defenders left now, Cao Qian can't guarantee that it will be safe for Cao Hong to stay in the West Bank.
"Yoursir, I just came to report that there are tens of thousands of reinforcements in Tongguan, and they are coming to Pujinguan. In addition, Liu Bei's troops in Jingzhou, Yuzhou and Yanzhou are mobilized frequently. It seems that they are coming to save Guanzhong!" At this time, Cheng Yu hurried here and brought another bad news to Cao Yan. He was really afraid of something.
"Damn it, if the support army had come half an hour late just now, Pujin Pass would have taken it!" Cao Chan muttered. At this moment, a "clam" sound was heard. A large part of the pontoon bridge connecting both sides of the river had been broken and flowed downstream along the river.
