Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 162 Ma Chao is Here!

Xu Rong was already hiding in a fort at this time. With the help of a simple building like Chang'an, he was tearing off the cloth strips on his body and tightening a deep wound on his thigh.At the same time, the archers in the Libao fired wild arrows, desperately resisting the Xiliang cavalry who tried to rush into the Libao.

Soon, a Xiliang cavalryman threw a scimitar and beheaded the archer in front of Xu Rong, and rushed in violently.Xu Rong didn't care about bandaging, stood up abruptly enduring the severe pain, screamed and stabbed the scimitar on the archer's body into the Xiliang cavalryman's eye socket: "How fucking crazy are you?! There is me, old Liaodong Xu Kuang!"

Xu Rong was already covered in blood at this time, and after killing this Xiliang cavalryman, his vitality and blood decayed to the limit.However, because of the bravery of his last blow, those Xiliang cavalry outside Libao patrolled on horseback for a while, and then dispersed.

This is not because they have given up, but because they are too lazy to gnaw on this hard bone.Because, the Xiliang army that came later, as long as one person randomly collided with this Libao, it would smash the tortoise shell of Libao to pieces.

Breaking down this Libao is only a matter of time.

It's like destroying this Chang'an city.

Therefore, those Xiliang cavalry just couldn't afford to waste their time looting their own spoils for this Libao.

"General, we can't stand it anymore!" A Liaodong veteran suddenly knelt down in front of Xu Rong, and the seven-foot-tall man suddenly cried like a tearful man: "We are not from Chang'an, so we should live and die with Chang'an! There were 3000 brothers before you came to Chang'an, but now there are not even 300. You order us to withdraw! At least, let me die in my hometown in Liaodong, okay?"

Hearing what this veteran said, Xu Rong, who had always been as hard as iron, couldn't say a single word of toughness at this time.In fact, he now sees the veteran's body as a double image, and he can barely open his hematomated eyes.The shattered battle armor was completely stained red with blood, and it was impossible to tell whether it was his blood or the Xiliang cavalry's blood.

However, after Xu Rong breathed a sigh of relief, although his eyes were still confused, he still straightened his face, shook his head lightly and said, "No."

"Why! General." The veteran supported Xu Rong, almost unable to believe his ears.

"Persist for a while..." Xu Rong exhaled with difficulty, and said slowly: "Your Majesty will definitely come back. If we leave at this time, even the corpses of the [-] brothers will not be collected, and we will not be able to collect them." There is no way to take them to Liaodong for burial..."

Hearing Xu Rong's last humble wish, the Liaodong man, who was originally excited and thought Xu Rong was unreasonable, couldn't help it anymore, and knelt down and sobbed at the same time.But as Libao shook, their sobs didn't last long, and they stood up again with indifferent faces.

First, the veteran gently let Xu Rong lean more comfortably, and then looked at the dozen or so Liaodong soldiers behind him with miserable eyes.These people were also covered in blood, and some of them could only barely stand on their weapons because of their strength, but among the dozen or so people, none of them made a sound, and their faces were full of awakened will to die.

"The general is right. Liaodong is too far away. If we withdraw at this time, we will not be able to escape at all, and it is even more impossible to contain the dead brother's body." The soldier took a last look at Xu Rong, and yanked the crossbow in his hand. Standing in the hole in Libao, he shot dead a Xiliang cavalry who was laughing wildly and was about to attack Libao with an arrow, and suddenly shouted: "The general said that His Majesty will come back, so he will definitely come. Even if His Majesty does not come back, we will come back." I will be buried here in Chang'an with my brothers!"

"Live and die with Chang'an!" A dozen men shouted in unison, as if their bodies regained strength in an instant.The narrow Libao began to shoot deadly arrow clusters again!

But when they persisted for less than a stick of incense, the crossbow arrows on the backs of many soldiers were exhausted.The Liaodong men had to desperately use their weapons, bodies, and teeth to drag those galloping Xiliang cavalry off their horses.The small fort here quickly became a forbidden area for the Xiliang cavalry, causing the Xiliang cavalry who swarmed in to take a detour.

"General, look quickly." When there were still five men left, another Liaodong veteran ran up to Xu Rong, and helped Xu Rong to the temporarily safe hole in Libao: "Chang'an is on fire!"

Xu Rong's body tensed suddenly. At this time, he hadn't waited for the final order, so he couldn't figure out why Chang'an suddenly caught fire.Stretching out his eyes to see the flames, he immediately understood: "The Xiliang cavalry have discovered old man Wang Yun's trick."

Sure enough, although the entire Chang'an City looked red, it was filled with black smoke.But Xu Rong could see clearly that the area that was set ablaze was a battleground between the Chang'an defenders and the Xiliang iron cavalry.However, Piyong, Mingtang, Lingtai, Taixue and other places occupied by Xiliang cavalry did not show any sparks at all.

Obviously, those places where the fire started were ignited in advance.

Just when Xu Rong didn't know who was so wise, he saw several groups of people appearing vaguely in the billowing smoke.Those people covered their noses with wet cloths, and slashed and killed the Xiliang cavalry with all their strength. This sudden small group of troops was like a divine soldier descending from the sky. fall.

Finally, when Xu Rong saw Huangfusong's scorched beard and Zhu Jun's distressed figure, Xu Rong finally understood what happened.

These two old generals are the ancestors of playing with fire. In the battle of Changshe, they burned down 40 main forces of the Yellow Turbans.When they saw that Xiliang Iron Cavalry had already sent people to clean up the fire igniters in the Libao, they knew that Wang Yun's idea of ​​dying together had been seen through by the enemy.After making a decisive decision, he ignited the fire oil and firewood in the shelter, and then boosted morale and organized a small counterattack.

However, the two world-renowned generals can only do this.

Those places such as Piyong, Mingtang, Lingtai, Taixue, etc., although they are in the outer city, are all important places.Although the buildings inside are dense, the surrounding area is extremely empty and isolated from the houses.This kind of fire can only show off its power for a while, and after the fire is exhausted, it will no longer be able to give the old general's troops an advantage.

For a moment, looking at the billowing red light of Chang'an City, Xu Rong's face was full of desolation.Seeing the tragic and heroic battle of the two old generals outside regardless of their sixtieth years, he just felt like a knife was piercing his heart: Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you still unwilling to show up at this time?
"General, take care!" The Liaodong veteran who was supporting Xu Rong called hoarsely, finally waking Xu Rong up.By this time he had wet a rag from his clothes with urine and covered his face.

Outside the Libao, some Xiliang iron cavalry who were killed and disturbed were violently attacking the Libao, hoping to hide in the smoke.

"Old Liu." At the last moment, Xu Rong suddenly remembered the surname of this unknown soldier, and asked him softly, "Do you regret following me?"

"General," the old Liu smiled in astonishment. He obviously didn't expect Xu Rong to remember him: "Old Liu never regrets. If there is an afterlife, I will still be your soldier!" Steel knife, ready to rush up and block the doorway that only allows one person to pass through with his body.

"Wait!" Xu Rong suddenly grabbed Lao Liu's arm hard at this time, his eyes were extremely confused but firm, and he asked Lao Liu suspiciously: "Listen carefully, is there something in the distance?" The sound of the bone flute?"

"Flute?" The enraged old Liu looked at the four brothers in front who were fighting desperately with those screaming Xiliang cavalry, and Xu Rong was a little annoyed: "General, let go, wait a little longer, and you won't be able to defend this fortress." gone."

"No, listen carefully." Xu Rong's face became more and more agitated, and the strength in his hands became stronger and stronger, and he couldn't break free while pulling Lao Liu: "The Xiliang cavalry use horns for communication. And there is a more pure and courageous Liangzhou people who use this kind of bone flute..."

At this time, Lao Liu also suddenly discovered that the offensive of the Xiliang iron cavalry outside Libao had also slowed down suddenly.He listened attentively, and sure enough, he vaguely heard the sound of long and short sharp flutes, and he couldn't help but exclaimed in shock: "General, I heard it, I really heard it. Did you mean... Your Majesty, Your Majesty brought reinforcements to rush came back?!"

"No, I don't know." Hearing Lao Liu's confirmed answer, Xu Rong couldn't believe it.He blinked twice, then suddenly struggled to get up and said, "Quick, help me to see."

At this time, Lao Liu really dared to help Xu Rong show his face, because he found that the Xiliang cavalry outside Libao seemed to have received a new order and had already retreated from here in a hurry.

"General, there is a lot of dust in the West."

At this time, Xu Rong also saw that in the west of Chang'an, under the sunshine, a cavalry was coming like flying, and the big flag with the word "horse" was so eye-catching.

Ma Chao is here!

Sure enough, the Ma family army is here!The only real and brave Xiliang cavalry in the world is here!

"Come on, raise the flag!" Sitting on the horse, looking at Chang'an, which was about to be destroyed, Liu Xie suddenly hissed.

Xu Huang waved his hand, and a banner that was more majestic than the horse-shaped banner suddenly appeared in front of Ma Jiajun.The golden dragon roared and shouted in the flag, and in the black and red flag, there was a "Chinese" character that was as red as blood!

Han reinforcements are finally here!
