Chapter 2110 Waiting for the rain to pass and the sky to clear up
I don’t know when, the sun in the sky has fled, leaving some dark clouds that he has played with and are now despised, left sadly above Wancheng, exuding an aura of despair.
So far, Cao Cao''s plan can be said to be complete. Even Xu Huang had imagined that Cao Cao would be ambushed near Wancheng, but he did not expect that Cao Cao would dare to mobilize all the troops stationed in Yingchuan, Yuzhou, and to defend Xu County. A battle!
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
?And these Wuhuan cavalry...
?Xu Huang took a deep breath and suppressed some chaotic thoughts. At this moment, it was useless to think too much, there was only one fight!
??The screams and the clashing of gold and iron became louder and louder. The guards of Cao''s army also knew that the moment was the key to the overall situation, so they swarmed in one place and tried their best to block the attack of Xu Huang and others.
Dense arrows shot out from the back line of Cao''s army. Xu Huang and the five or six heavy ax soldiers beside Xu Huang instantly had a few more arrows on their bodies. All a little sour. Under such a density of shooting, some Cao Jun soldiers were shot by their own family members. However, these Cao Jun soldiers did not have heavy armor like Xu Huang and other heavy ax soldiers, and they screamed and fell at the chaotic feet of both sides!
The sound of huge horse hoofs resounded in the sky. Liu Xiong and his cavalry had already collided head-on with the reinforcements brought by Cao Hong. The battlefield seemed to be filled with shouts, screams, swords and guns, and the sound of flesh collisions, shaking everyone''s nerves. His eardrums were buzzing, and he seemed to doubt whether he was deaf. All that was left was an endless battle, fighting until the last moment of his life!
Xu Huang rushed to the front, and his field of vision seemed to be completely filled with Cao Jun soldiers...
Xu Huang shouted loudly, threw all distracting thoughts behind, and devoted himself to the battle. He slashed forward with the giant ax in his hand, and while circling, he slashed several enemy rears. Only then did he take the time to look back, and saw only the men under him. The heavy ax soldiers were still arranged in a cone formation, and Xu Huang wedged deeply into Cao''s army formation. It was like an ax hitting a wooden pile, cutting a gap in the originally hard wood, and four The scattered flesh, blood and remains were the wood chips caused by the collapse of the wooden pile.
?But it’s not enough, it’s not enough!
??The large shields guarded by Cao''s army are larger and thicker than the ordinary shields of Cao''s soldiers. They are somewhat like tower shields, but not as tall as tower shields. After all, the bigger the shield, the heavier it is, and it also means the poorer the mobility. Those who can use the tower shield to the extreme are probably those who claim to "take my shield to triumph, or lie on it and return" Spartan.
Even though Cao Jun''s shield was not as big as that of the Spartans, it added more trouble to Xu Huang. Xu Huang needed to exert greater strength and attack more than before to pry open some turtle shells and harvest the flesh and blood inside. This undoubtedly increased the consumption of Xu Huang''s combat power.
Xu Huang was knocking down a Cao Jun sword shieldman. Before he could regain his breath, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air beside him, and a spear pierced him like a poisonous snake. The tip of the spear trembled and flickered. Uncertainty, like a blooming flower core, comes towards Xu Huang''s face and throat with the breath of death!
Xu Huang snorted coldly, raised his backhand, and picked the tip of the battle ax on the handle of the stabbing spear, trying to deflect the spear. However, he did not expect that the provocation was not provoked, and the spear was still pointed at Xu Huang''s Come with face!
eh? Xu Huang was a little surprised, but he still twisted his body in a hurry and turned to one side. Although he passed the tip of the spear, the sharp wind pressure from the tip of the spear seemed to make Xu Huang''s breathing stagnant!
??The spear wanted to change again, but Xu Huang''s battle ax had been retracted. With a twist and a blow, the spear was suddenly swung high, and naturally there was no follow-up killing move...
"The marksmanship is good..." Xu Huang held the battle ax and looked at Cao Xiu in front of him, "It''s a pity..."
While Xu Huang was speaking, the battle ax suddenly jumped into the air and slashed diagonally towards Cao Xiu!
On the battlefield, life and death are matters of an instant. Who has the leisure to stand under swords, guns, swords and halberds and chatter? Two people, or more people, just use their hands and mouth to exchange one or two blows. A person whose face does not change at all times and whose heart does not beat?
No matter how sharp your words are, it is useless if your hands are soft!
It''s not that Xu Huang underestimated the enemy. After all, he and Zhao Yun had fought against each other for a period of time. After feeding each other with moves, he had some knowledge of generals who generally used spears and common spear moves. He could even use these common moves with spears to deceive his opponents. , setting a trap.
Just like the present moment.
??Xu Huang slashes out with an axe, which is powerful and heavy, and has a large attack range, but it also seems to have the disadvantage of having a single attack line and being easy to dodge. Because although the tomahawk is heavy, the weight is mainly concentrated on the ax head. Although the power of the cutting surface is extremely powerful, the attacking edge is even smaller than that of ordinary battle knives, not to mention the one that can compete with Guan Erye. I wanted to compete with a long knife specially made by China with an "L" added on it, so it seems that as long as I dodge it properly...
Cao Xiu subconsciously bent down and wanted to get into the attack circle of the battle ax, and then used his own agility to attack. However, just when he bent down and wanted to rush forward, Xu Huang twisted his wrist, and the battle The ax suddenly changed from a diagonal chopping to a slapping state, and due to wind resistance, the trajectory of the slapping surface of the tomahawk also changed!
By the time Cao Xiu realized something was wrong, it was already too late. He could only yell and hold out the spear, trying to exchange the injury with Xu Huang!
咚! 』
After a huge muffled sound, Cao Xiu was almost shot horizontally! The fragments of armor on the shoulder and arm that were hit were flying around in the air along with Cao Xiu''s mouthful of blood!
With the sudden impact, the spear held out by Cao Xiu naturally fell into the air...
Cao Jun''s guards were immediately horrified. Two or three people came up in a hurry and stabbed Xu Huang with their spears. Xu Huang lowered his body to let the spear pass, then turned around, whirled the battle ax out, and outlined A perfect fan surface appeared, and under this shimmering fan surface, there was blood donation spurting out all over the sky, with gun heads and human heads flying high into the air!
??The hot blood and minced meat sprayed on Xu Huang''s armor, and then gradually became thicker and colder.
Xu Huang turned his head slightly and looked back to his left and right. The original three hundred axe-soldiers were now greatly reduced in number. They were all covered in blood. He didn''t know whether it was Cao''s army''s blood or his own injuries. They seemed to be large, dark-brown soldiers. Bones, hanging with sticky sweet and sour juice, spurting white air behind the mask, followed closely behind Xu Huang with a battle ax in hand.
Further back, ordinary hussar infantry and Cao soldiers were fighting in one place, guarding the rear line of Xu Huang and others. Further away, smoke and dust were billowing, and people and horses were neighing. It was obvious that the cavalry was there. At war with each other…
There was fighting everywhere, fighting everywhere, and the battlefield was in chaos.
Xu Huang suddenly felt something in his heart. This is the disadvantage of fighting generals on the front line that the Cavalry General has repeatedly emphasized, "You are in this mountain, you don''t know where to go"!
?? Cao Xiu fought with Xu Huang and was seriously injured. He did not know whether he was alive or dead. This immediately affected the entire defense line of Cao''s army, and also shocked Cao Cao and others who were watching the battle closely on the top of the hill.
Cao Cao slowly drew out the long sword from his waist with a solemn expression.
lord! No, lord! ” A clerk from Cao Cao’s tent rushed up to him, fell at Cao Cao’s feet, and pulled the corner of Cao Cao’s clothes, saying, “The enemy general is fierce and we are no match for us. My lord, you must not take any personal risk. It’s better to hurry up... ah!” 』
?Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao had already raised his sword and pierced the chest of the civil servant with one sword!
??Cao Cao kicked the civil servant''s corpse down with one kick, raised the blood-stained sword high, his beard and hair splayed, glared angrily, and shouted, "Today we can only fight to the death!" This is convenient for me and I will fight to the death! 』
If you hadn''t seen and heard it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that this short mule with three-inch nails, well, Cao Cao, who has a relatively compact body, could actually make such a loud sound, even Xu Huang, who was fighting on the mountainside, could hear it. .
『Hohohoho! Fight to the death and never retreat! "Xu Huang could hear it, and naturally all the guards in the middle camp of Cao''s army could hear it. They all roared loudly together, regained their spirits, and moved forward desperately to block Xu Huang''s impact.
?? Xu Huang slashed a Cao Jun guard who was rushing towards him, then raised his head, his eyes collided with Cao Cao''s in the air...
『General of the Zhenjun Army! Now you can neither defeat my army nor rescue Wancheng! Moreover, it is difficult to protect oneself. The matter has come to this, why not follow me? I will definitely protect the glory of the general and achieve a great career! "Cao Cao''s voice was loud and clear, and he seemed to be full of energy and sure of victory, but Cao Cao knew that his calves seemed to be shaking.
?? Xu Huang didn''t say anything, and chopped down another Cao soldier with his backhand. Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly felt his legs and feet stuttering, and found that his feet were being hugged tightly by a wounded Cao soldier.
"No...Lord..." The injured Qingzhou soldier had blood flowing from his mouth and nose. He rolled his eyes like a dead fish and his face was twisted, like the unfinished mandarin fish from Song X Tower. His body was covered with bruises but in red and black Looking up in the sauce...
Xu Huang turned the battle ax and struck it hard, and immediately smashed the fish''s head into the ground. However, it was only blocked by this, and the gap that was originally vacant was filled by Cao Jun''s soldiers in the blink of an eye.
? If the general is willing to obey so and so, so and so can swear an oath here, which will ensure that the hussars of Wancheng, their relatives, and their families are safe from worries! 』
『Everyone who belongs to the general is still in command! But if there is any need, I will always grant it..."
Does Cao Cao himself know the value of his own force? Although he is better than ordinary civil servants, it is naturally not enough to compare with a fierce general like Xu Huang, so he will not really rush down the mountain like that. He came to deliver food to Xu Huang, but stood on the top of the hill and kept shouting to persuade him to surrender. On the one hand, he stabilized his own military morale, and on the other hand, he also tried to disturb Xu Huang.
Xu Huang still didn''t answer. There was only one thought swirling in his mind, more than ten feet, there are still more than ten feet!
Today, there are troops stationed by Cao Cao in the north and Cao Hong''s Wuhuan cavalry in the south. It is impossible to confront Cao Cao''s troops head-on and then defeat Cao Cao''s troops. The only solution is to Cao Cao is here to kill!
Kill Cao Cao!
Cao Cao is more than ten feet away!
Kill him and everything will end!
A drop of water fell from the sky and hit Xu Huang''s helmet, making a slight sound.
?Xu Huang suddenly felt something in his heart and began to slow down his movements and adjust his breath.
Under Cao Cao''s instigation, the surrounding Cao army guards rushed towards them almost madly. Some even tried to block Xu Huang and others and pushed them down the mound at the risk of exposing their vital points...
A drop of rain hit Cao Cao''s face. The cold touch made Cao Cao raise his head slightly, only to find that the dark clouds in the sky had joined together into a large piece at some point, rolling gloomily, as if they were bought on a certain store. Black heart pastry. I don’t know when the howling wind stopped...
In the blink of an eye, huge raindrops poured down from the sky!
??Hit the battlefield in Wancheng with a crackling sound, making the iron helmets and armors clang. If it hit the exposed skin, it would still hurt. The sudden heavy rain immediately plunged the battlefield into temporary chaos!
?The cold rain, the cold iron armor, the rain rushed down from the front of Dou Sun, like a small waterfall.
Xu Huang passed through the water curtain and suddenly jumped out of the battle line like a ferocious beast!
Because of the design of the hussar''s standard hood, there is a protrusion less than **** wide extending at the front of the hood. It was originally like the brim of a hat. In addition to enhancing some defense, it also plays a role in blocking a certain amount of light. Now you can naturally block part of the rainwater from hitting your eyes directly!
On the opposite side, Cao Jun could not help but raise his hands to wipe his face...
Now is a rare opportunity!
Xu Huang picked up his ax and rushed towards Cao Cao! The body leaned forward slightly, and the battle ax rolled up the rain all over the sky, and swept it towards Cao Cao who was holding up his big cloak to cover the rain!
The distance of more than ten feet, under Xu Huang''s explosion, kept getting closer in the blink of an eye!
?????? Cao Jun''s military guards were shouting in the wind and rain, trying to use their spears and knives, and even pounced on him and pulled them with their hands and bit them with their teeth, but they still couldn''t withstand Xu Huang''s surprise attack! Even though the guards from Cao''s army grabbed Xu Huang''s back, legs and feet, under the combined effects of rain and blood, they couldn''t bear the strength and couldn''t even hold on!
Xu Huang, who was carrying a huge word "death" on his back, roared and rushed towards him. Even with Cao Cao''s perseverance, he couldn''t help but retreat half a step. He immediately reacted, gritted his teeth and stood firm, raising his long sword. On the chest...
Even death must be faced head-on!
??It would be a shame for a warrior if he was wounded behind his back while escaping!
At this moment, many scenes flashed through Cao Cao''s mind, and finally he settled on the year when his father sat alone on the bed, staring blankly at his figure...
In a few breaths, Xu Huang rushed in front of Cao Cao. Regardless of the spears and swords coming towards him, the battle ax broke through the air. The rainwater was squeezed by the airflow and flew out quickly along the axe. The battle ax sprouted two wings!
??The slightly chipped tomahawk blade reflected Cao Cao''s frightened, yet unwilling eyes!
?Whether it is technique, spirit or strength, this attack has reached an unprecedented peak for Xu Huang!
??Cao Cao howled and raised his sword to meet him!
In the rain curtain, a halberd tip suddenly appeared, like a high-speed rotating impact drill, pushing through the layers of raindrop curtains, and then slammed into Xu Huang''s battle axe. There was a loud "ding" sound above the axe, causing the rain to splash away like a popcorn machine with the door latch unbolted!
??This almost condensed Xu Huang''s whole body''s energy and energy. It can be said that it was a sure blow, but it was actually intercepted by a small hand halberd!
There is a deep mark on the surface of the battle axe.
??The cold rain was flowing in all directions, and a tall figure stood in front of Cao Cao.
Evil is coming! ” Cao Cao''s sword almost hit Dian Wei, and he quickly held it up with his hands. His voice revealed a bit of joy about surviving the disaster.
『Evil is coming? Hum, when someone dies! Xu Huang frowned slightly and muttered, but without waiting for Dian Wei''s response, he shouted loudly, held the battle ax with both hands, and suddenly drew a shining arc and slashed towards Dian Wei, with a radius of three or four meters. The rainwater within a foot seemed to be driven by the battle axe, and rushed forward together!
Dian Wei snorted coldly, and the two iron halberds were slightly separated from the front and back, and they were attacking Xu Huang''s battle ax!
With a loud "buzz" sound, Xu Huangdianwei and two people clashed with each other. It was like ringing a yellow bell, shaking the entire space. Even the other people standing around Xu Huangdianwei and Xu Huangdianwei were shaking. People can''t help but want to cover their ears to reduce the sound caused by this heavy collision of weapons and iron!
Dian Wei shouted loudly, but he was not repelled by Xu Huang. Instead, he pounced forward, like an evil tiger pouncing on its prey!
?Xu Huang shouted again, picked up his battle ax, and slashed down like a Huashan Mountain! He actually passed Dian Wei slightly, and his battle ax was pointed directly at Cao Cao!
『Lord, retreat quickly! ” Dian Wei howled and had to retract his steps, and then raised his double iron halberds!
??There was another loud bang, and the sound of gold and iron echoed throughout the world!
Xu Huang''s tomahawk was bounced high into the air, making Xu Huang unsteady on his feet. He staggered back a big step. The shock waves transmitted from the tomahawk hit his arms and body like a whip, and he was slapped. It hit the internal organs and rattled the bones. I felt a little dizzy for a moment. When I opened my mouth, a cloud of blood mist spurted out from my mouth!
General! ” Xu Huang’s private soldiers who caught up were shocked and wanted to come forward to help him.
"fine! ” Xu Huang spit out another mouthful of blood and pushed the guard away, “I just bit my lip and tongue... Give the order, retreat!” 』
??Xu Huang said no more, and his eyes glanced at Cao Cao and Dian Wei for the last time, especially staying longer on Dian Wei, as if he wanted to remember Dian Wei deeply...
Dian Wei''s cheeks were as red as blood, and he slowly lowered the iron halberd with both arms. Then he let out a long breath, forming a line of white smoke in the rain and mist. He twisted his body and pulled his feet out of the mud. . At this moment, someone discovered that Dianwei was soaked by the rain and the force of the impact just now. Both of his feet actually sank into the mud, submerging the insteps. When he was pulled, he was immediately hurt. Big chunks of yellow mud came out.
『Evil is coming? ” Cao Cao asked from behind.
Dian Wei responded angrily: "It doesn''t matter..."
It doesn’t matter, but how can it be completely okay? Up to now, Dian Wei’s arm is still trembling and tingling slightly...
『Lord, who is this? Dian Wei asked.
"Under the hussar, the general of the army, Xu Huang and Xu Gongming..." Cao Cao watched Xu Huang and his soldiers separate from the rain curtain and retreat. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and breathed a sigh of relief, "He is a good opponent..."
Dian Wei''s eyes fell on the slightly deformed iron halberd in his hand, "That''s true..."
Generally speaking, if fighting alone, Dian Wei should have the upper hand over Xu Huang, but Xu Huang''s first ax was aimed at Dian Wei, and then his second ax unexpectedly hit Cao Cao. If Dian Wei could not react After all, Xu Huang was wearing heavy armor. Although he might be injured, Cao Cao would definitely die, so Dian Wei could only withdraw and fight hard!
The difference in weight on the weapons, coupled with factors such as the distance at which the force is exerted, Dian Wei suffered a heavy loss...
Of course, if the fight continues, Dian Wei has a slightly higher chance of winning in the end. It is very likely that Dian Wei will be injured and Xu Huang will die. Dian Wei knows this in his heart, and Xu Huang also understands it, so he saw Dian Wei under his guard. , unable to successfully kill Cao Cao, Xu Huang immediately took advantage of the heavy rain to retreat without any hesitation or reluctance, and also showed the decisiveness of a qualified general.
lord, lord…』
Why not give chase quickly? 』
When Xu Huang made the surprise attack just now, the civil servants were so frightened that they were holding their heads like quails. Now that the situation had improved, they became more energetic again, as if they had just repelled Xu Huang and they had participated in the battle. Jumping on his feet and shouting, he seemed to be filled with endless courage and strength.
Cao Cao glanced at these guys, smiled, and said nothing. A large part of these civil servants were native to Jingzhou, and they were somewhat different from those who had fought with Cao Cao for a period of time.
A bunch of idiots!
??If there were ten Dian Wei, no, only two, Cao Cao would definitely give the order to pursue. But now it is obvious that only one Dian Wei has arrived, and Xu Huang retreats without chaos, slightly suspected of seduction...
Dian Wei came with urgent reinforcements, but he didn’t bring many soldiers. If he wanted to pursue him, what could he use to pursue him? If Lian Dianwei also fell into Xu Huang''s heavy axe-soldier array due to pursuit, who would be able to resist Xu Huang''s attack?
?Is it possible to rely on these guys who hide away when in danger and rush out to point fingers when they see safety?
"Now our troops are exhausted, and there is heavy rain again... Although the hussars and horses have retreated, the formation is not disordered, so it is not appropriate to pursue them..." Dong Zhao explained a little on the side, and then urged the civil servants to go to work, "Now the enemy The army has retreated, why don''t you quickly go and inventory the equipment and arrange the wounded soldiers..."
『Report! Report...Ouch..." After a while, a messenger came hurriedly. When he was approaching the top of the hill, his soles slipped and he stumbled. His face was covered with yellow mud and blood in front of Cao Cao, "Anyone Zhonglang is defeated, the enemy general... the enemy general has entered Wancheng..."
??Cao Cao nodded, "As expected..."
Dian Wei said, "My lord, are we going to mobilize our troops to attack Wancheng right now?" 』
Cao Cao laughed, shook his head and said, "No need... now, just wait..."
『Waiting, waiting for what? ’ Dian Wei didn’t quite understand.
??Cao Cao raised his head, closed his eyes, feeling the rain pouring down from the sky, and then said: "When the rain passes and the sky clears up..."
