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

Chapter 400: The Second in the World! (Thanks to book friends 2023…9504 for the two monthly tickets~)

As one gunpowder can after another was thrown at the Iron Pagoda, violent explosions quickly occurred.

This group of Iron Pagodas obviously did not expect that Wei Xu's army also had such powerful weapons as gunpowder cans!

The armor on the soldiers in the front row was quickly blown to pieces by a series of explosions.

The terrifying gust of wind also knocked many Iron Pagoda soldiers off their horses.

The originally well-organized Iron Pagoda army suddenly fell into chaos.

But the Iron Pagoda is indeed the strongest heavy cavalry at present, with layers of armor on his body.

If it was just a gunpowder can, even if it hit head-on, it could only blow apart the thickest layer of armor on the outermost layer.

There is also a relatively soft layer of armor inside that can still provide considerable protection.

Wei Xu naturally knew how hard these iron lumps were.

Even if it is just an ordinary soldier wearing this set of armor, as long as he protects the joints from being hit.

Ordinary weapons are simply not able to effectively kill them.

After all, the armor coverage rate of the Iron Pagoda is almost armed to the teeth!
Therefore, when dealing with this Iron Pagoda army of 600 people, Wei Xu did not dare to be stingy and ordered the soldiers to continuously throw out gunpowder cans.

The continuous and indiscriminate bombing still had a significant effect.

Guan Yu, who was hiding behind the Iron Pagoda, looked at the Iron Pagoda that was unable to get close to the enemy, and his face was extremely gloomy.

He immediately turned his head and looked at Wu Anguo standing beside him.

Wu'an State understood and immediately rushed towards the enemy from both sides of the Iron Pagoda.

After entering the effective range of Zhuge Crossbow, they immediately removed the poison arrows on their backs and continued shooting at Wei Xu's army!
As the sounds of machine guns rang out, powerful arrows were shot out at a rapid speed, accurately hitting the front-row soldiers of Wei Xu's army!
Wei Xu looked at the soldiers in the front row who were falling to the ground and twitching, and immediately squatted down to check their condition.

It turns out that they were not armed with bows and arrows, but crossbow arrows with stronger penetrating power!
And the soldiers were twitching like that, it was obvious that the arrows were poisoned!
Wei Xu immediately ordered the front-row soldiers to raise their shields to block the enemy's crossbow attacks.

However, at this moment, shouts of killing suddenly sounded from behind them!
They saw nearly 5,000 troops, led by an enemy general, rushing towards them rapidly!

Wei Xu's face changed, and he hurriedly asked Huang Gai to lead 5,000 men to resist.

Huang Gai immediately led 5,000 troops to meet the enemy.

However, as soon as the two sides fought, the soldiers on Huang Gai's side screamed in pain.

Their condition is extremely bad at the moment, while the enemy soldiers are in extremely good condition.

As one gains strength while the other loses strength, the gap in combat power is getting bigger and bigger!
Fortunately, Huang Gai is an experienced veteran, and in this situation, it is better to defend than to attack.

He immediately ordered the front row soldiers to hold the line, giving the back row soldiers a chance to shoot arrows.

Under the suppression of bows and arrows, the situation here was barely stabilized.

But the situation on Wei Xu's side was not good.

Because five thousand soldiers were taken away.

Of the 13,000 soldiers who were originally able to move, only more than 7,000 were left, excluding those shot dead by Zhuge Liang's crossbow.

At this time, Guan Yu also led the remaining 5,000 troops and launched a charge along with Tiefutu.

Looking at the aggressive enemy army, Wei Xu felt his scalp tingling!

He didn't care about anything else and ordered the soldiers to throw out the gunpowder cans one after another!

The four hundred gunpowder cans were quickly used up.

A considerable portion of the damage was absorbed by the Iron Pagoda.

Of the original 600 Iron Pagodas, only 300 remained. The Wu Dang Flying Army reacted quickly and had strong skin and flesh, so only a few dozen people were lost.

Seeing that Wei Xu had no more gunpowder bottles left, Guan Yu immediately ordered the entire army to charge!

Five thousand ordinary soldiers, more than nine hundred Wudang Flying Army and more than three hundred Iron Buddhas, faced Wei Xu's more than seven thousand soldiers.

There was not much difference in troop strength to begin with, and the soldiers on Wei Xu's side were in extremely poor condition.

Although Wei Xu took the initiative to lead the army to meet them.

But in just a moment of collision, Wei Xu's army was like paper and was knocked down in an instant!
At the same time, Guan Yu also spotted where Wei Xu was and rushed towards him!
Feeling the knife wind coming towards his back, Wei Xu was secretly shocked, and used the Su Qin Back Sword Stance to block the spear in his hand behind him!

But what Wei Xu didn't expect was that the enemy general's sword was so powerful and heavy.

In addition, he was still under the influence of anesthetics and was almost knocked off his horse!
Fortunately, this strong force made Wei Xu's mind clearer.

As he leaned forward, he drew his gun and turned around to sweep at the general behind him, but the enemy general easily blocked it.

Only at this moment did Wei Xu have the chance to look at the enemy general.

Looking at the enemy general's iconic green hat and red face, Wei Xu was horrified!
It turned out to be the second most powerful general in the world, Guan Yu!

I didn't expect that the other party was not at the front line in Jizhou, but actually came here!
This is really troublesome...

Having said that, Wei Xu is also a person who refuses to admit defeat.

Although he knew he was no match for the other party, if he fell, his soldiers would be defeated immediately!

I thought that with my own 20,000-strong army, I wouldn't have to worry about being ambushed by the enemy.

However, they never expected that the enemy had the people of Daze Township put anesthetics in their food, greatly weakening their combat capability.

If they didn't have this, they would have been no match for the enemy's Iron Pagodas and the poisonous arrows shot from the Zhuge Crossbows.

But there is no time to review the situation at this moment. Facing the second most powerful general in the world in the eyes of his lord, he must try his best not to die!

After deflecting Wei Xu's shot, Guan Yu turned his horse and thrust his sword.

When the blade cuts through the air, it's like a roaring green dragon, so imposing!

Wei Xu hurriedly raised his spear and stabbed. The moment the spear tip collided with the blade, the spear tip was bent by the terrifying force!

The surging force traveled along the gun body to Wei Xu's knuckles, directly cracking them!
Wei Xu's heart was filled with shocking waves!
This is what the lord calls the second best in the world!

My lord, you really didn't brag about the other party's strength!

Under normal circumstances, he might be able to last a dozen rounds.

But in his current state, every blow from the opponent is fatal!

Wei Xu didn't have time to think, Guan Yu's next sword was already coming towards him again!
No tricks, all strength!

Wei Xu knew very well that he was no match for his opponent in a contest of strength, and could only fight back with cleverness!

While he leaned back to avoid the knife, he stabbed Guan Yu's arm with the spear in his hand!
But what Wei Xu didn't expect was that Guan Yu suddenly grabbed the back of the spear blade and pulled it hard!
The spear was actually taken away by the opponent!

Wei Xu's face changed drastically and he quickly spurred his horse to flee in the opposite direction.

Without weapons, isn't he just meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of the other party?
Seeing that Wei Xu was about to escape, Guan Yu snorted coldly, immediately threw his spear aside, and rode his horse to chase after Wei Xu.

"what--!!"

Guan Yu roared loudly, and the horse under his crotch suddenly sped up!
Just as he was about to catch up with Wei Xu, a semi-metal arrow suddenly shot from a high slope in the distance and accurately hit the head of the horse under Guan Yu's crotch!
