Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 234: Mudslide! (Thanks to Nervous Frog, Mr. Gongchang, and Naughty Cold Tea for their monthly ticket support~)

Sun Zhao looked up and saw that the enemy leader was holding a bronze sword, wearing an ox-horn helmet, and had an extremely strong build. He looked very tough and not someone he would be easy to mess with!

Sun Zhao looked back at Yan Yan on the city wall, waiting for his instructions.

Yan Yan had thought that the enemy would come to hinder him, but he didn't expect them to come so soon!
It seemed that the enemy had long expected that they would leave the city and destroy the fence posts.

If they just retreat like this, nothing will happen.

But at this moment it started to drizzle.

If the fence stakes near the moat are not removed in time, the mud and rock flow will flood the city gate and form siltation next to the north city wall.

By then, the enemy's purpose will be achieved, and they can easily rush onto the city wall.

Thinking of this, Yan Yan immediately ordered Sun Zhao to lead 500 people to stop the enemy cavalry!

He personally led a thousand men out of the city to take over from Sun Zhao and continue removing the fence stakes.

Sun Zhao quickly led 500 infantrymen to meet the enemy's 1,000 cavalry.

Wen Pin, holding a bronze sword, saw that there were only 500 enemy soldiers rushing towards him, and snorted disdainfully:
"kill!"

Following his order, all the cavalrymen suddenly lowered their bodies, increased their horse speed, and tightened their grip on their weapons.

The cavalry at the front, led by Wen Pin, collided with Sun Zhao's infantry and quickly tore a bloody gash like a sharp knife.

The cavalry in the rear applied a thrust to the back of the sharp knife, rapidly widening the hole!

Seeing that the enemy seemed to be planning to rush directly towards Yan Yan who was destroying the fence stakes in the rear, Sun Zhao hurriedly gathered the infantry to attack the enemy from both sides.

Wen Pin looked back and saw that the enemy was trying to cut off his cavalry, so he immediately turned around and attacked Sun Zhao who was leading the infantry!
Sun Zhao was shocked and hurriedly tried to retreat behind the soldiers.

However, Wen Pin had already locked his eyes on him. He grabbed the bronze sword with one hand and threw it towards Sun Zhao!
The sharp tip of the knife made a whistling sound in the air and hit Sun Zhao's head accurately!

The tip of the knife pierced into Sun Zhao's skull with a "pop". Sun Zhao screamed in pain and fell to the ground and died instantly...

The surrounding infantrymen were all horrified when they saw their leader being killed instantly by a single blow, and almost instinctively retreated in the direction of Yan Yan.

Yan Yan also noticed that all the infantry led by Sun Zhao had retreated, and his soldiers hurriedly reported:
"Sir Governor! General Sun Zhao was hit on the head by the enemy general and was killed instantly!"

"what?!"

Yan Yan didn't expect that Sun Zhao, who was quite skilled in martial arts, was no match for the enemy!
It seems that this enemy general is no ordinary person!

Yan Yan immediately carried his bow and sword and led 500 infantry and cavalry to attack the enemy again.

At this moment, Wen Pin was enjoying the killing when he suddenly saw another 500 enemy soldiers rushing towards him. He immediately led the remaining 900 cavalrymen to meet them.

Yan Yan could tell at a glance that the enemy general was very powerful.

Without saying a word, he immediately took off his hard bow, drew his bow and arrow in the dark, and attacked the enemy general!
Wen Pin heard the sound of an arrow approaching him rapidly, and immediately struck out with his sword in the direction of the sound, just in time to deflect the arrow in the darkness.

However, the arrow was so powerful that after bouncing off it still ricocheted towards a centurion next to Wen Pin, piercing his chest and killing him!

Wen Pin was furious and immediately looked in the direction where the arrow came from.

He saw an old veteran holding a big sword and wearing a purple cloak, who was putting away his bow and arrow and rushing towards him majestically.

As soon as he got close, he chopped with his knife quickly!

Wen Pin saw that this sword had the power to split Mount Huashan, and realized that the man was the enemy general Yan Yan.

He held his sword to block the attack, while sneering and mocking:
"Is there no one in Ruba County? Why are you letting a white-haired man like you come out to fight?"

Yan Yan immediately retorted:
"How dare you, little boy, show off your skills in front of an expert? Wait and see how your grandfather teaches you how to behave!"

Before he finished speaking, Yan Yan shook the handle of the knife and hit the handle from bottom to top with his right arm to increase the downward force of the blade. However, Wen Pin was not panicked at all.

Raise your right hand and pull your left hand down, allowing the opponent's blade to slide down the handle, while tilting your neck back to avoid the blade!
The two men fought on horseback for dozens of rounds, and Yan Yan's sword skills were insidious and experienced!

Although Wen Pin was young, his swordsmanship was profound and as strong as iron. Yan Yan could not find any flaws in it for a while.

As time went by, Yan Yan, as a veteran, gradually lost his physical strength.

Wen Pin seized the opportunity and suddenly pulled out the hilt of the knife and hit Yan Yan in the ribs!
Yan Yan cried out in pain, quickly swung his sword to push Wen Pin back, and led his soldiers back into the city.

Wen Pin immediately led his troops to charge and killed nearly a thousand enemy soldiers!
Yan Yan led only a few hundred people to flee back to the city in a panic.

Wen Pin took the opportunity to lead the remaining cavalry to repair the fence stakes that had been destroyed and knocked down by the enemy.

In the end, I waited outside the city for a long time.

It was not until the rain got heavier and heavier and a rumbling sound was faintly heard from the mountain that Wen Pin led his men to evacuate quickly.

At this moment, after Zhang Liao's previous fierce attack and Qu Xing's fighting, there were only 4,900 defenders left in the city.

Although Sun Zhao and his men captured two thousand soldiers, these prisoners had not been trained and could not be put into battle immediately.

And just now, nearly a thousand of them were killed by Wen Pin, leaving only three thousand eight hundred or nine hundred defenders in the city.

Yan Yan, who was on the city wall, watched the enemy retreat and heard a rumbling sound coming from the mountain. He frowned, but did not dare to go out of the city to destroy the enemy's fences.

They were afraid that the mud and rocks would suddenly slide down and the soldiers who left the city would die in vain...

Yan Yan knew that there would be a fierce battle after tonight, so he quickly asked the remaining soldiers to take a rest.

Late that night.

Yan Yan suddenly heard a loud bang, and it seemed as if a corner of Mount Taihe in the distance had fallen!
The rolling mud and rock flow poured down from the mountain like a flood.

It should have slid down the mountain in a scattered manner, but due to the restriction of the fence stakes, it concentrated and swept towards the north city wall!

When the first and most violent wave of mudslides hit the city wall, Yan Yan felt that the entire city was shaking, as if an earthquake had occurred!

Even the bolt behind the city gate was almost broken.

There were even countless drops of mud splashing onto the city wall that was more than ten meters high, making the soldiers on the wall covered in dirt and mud!

The moat was filled with mud and rocks, and the water in the river overflowed onto the shore!
Zhang Liao stood on the violently shaking bow of the boat, looking at the visual shock brought by the mudslide hitting the city wall in the distance, and was secretly surprised.

This is the terrifying power of nature!
And these forces can often help top strategists and generals turn the tide!
Even though Yan Yan was experienced in combat, he was still unable to resist such a natural disaster!

Zhang Liao couldn't help but turn his head to look at his own camp on the south bank. The middle-aged man who had given the brilliant plan during the day was sleeping in it.

Zhang Liao was very sure that this man was definitely a top think tank who could rival Zhou Yu!

Even if Ba County cannot be captured, this top strategist must be captured.

When the time comes, facing the nearly evil Zhuge Liang, they will have the opportunity to take the initiative to counter the enemy's strategy!

The heavy rain came quickly and went away quickly.

By the time it was daylight, the rain had stopped completely.

However, the soil on the river bank that was hit by the mudslide was too soft and not suitable for launching an attack.

However, in order to prevent the enemy from leaving the city to clear the earthen stairs formed by the debris, Zhang Liao still ordered his soldiers to be on high alert near the north gate.

After another day, when the soil was almost dry, Zhang Liao knew that the time to launch a general attack... had finally arrived!
