Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 302 Emergencies
"Go! Go! Come on!" Cao Hong was already drenched by the rain, but he continued to roar to order the soldiers to continue attacking the city.In front of him, the soldiers carrying the corpses came and went in a hurry, while at the same time the siege of the city never stopped.

"General Zilian!" Just as Cao Hong was busy commanding, a muffled voice came from behind him. Cao Hong turned his head and saw that it was Xu Chu.

"General Zhongkang, who is this?" Cao Hong saw that not only Xu Chu, but also the five thousand tiger guards in full armor were all there, Zhang Er King Kong was immediately puzzled.

"My lord, let us help the general take down Pujin Pass!" Xu Chu only said one sentence, and Cao Hong was already ecstatic after hearing the words: "With the help of the Tiger Guards, it is naturally easy to take down Pujin Pass!" Immediately I personally beat the drums to cheer for Xu Chu.

"It's the Tiger Guards?" Zhao Feng's heart beat unexpectedly when he saw the soldiers of the Tiger Guards wearing heavy armor like moving fortresses.Although the Danyang elite soldiers under his command are rare and elite, they are still inferior to the Tiger Guards.Looking around, I have already killed and injured more than 500 people today, and there are only more than 3000 people left.As for the Tiger Guards, there are still at least 5000 people.Even with the help of Chengguan, Zhao Feng was not sure about using 3000 people to resist the [-] tiger guards.

"Damn, Cao Mengde has really lost all his money, so it seems he has to fight!" Zhao Feng gritted his teeth and thought to himself.At this moment, the Tiger Guards had already climbed up the ladder under the leadership of Xu Chu himself.Naturally, the defenders would not let them come up so easily, and the rolling logs, stones and arrows fell down together.But the reason why the Tiger Guards are the elite of Cao Jun is not unreasonable.First of all, the climbing speed is much faster than ordinary soldiers, and in the face of rolling stones and arrows, whether they dodge or block, they are much better than ordinary soldiers. They are all iron armors with strong defensive capabilities.In this way, the casualties caused to them during the entire climbing process are simply not a concern.

"Kill!" After the first one jumped onto the top of the wall, Mr. Xu Chushan swung his saber twice, and the two soldiers who came to fight were cut in two.After the third knife was swung, Xu Chu suddenly felt a force on the handle of his knife, and then the arc cut by the big knife in his hand suddenly turned to one side, and the knife hit the wall brick.

"Zhao Botao!" Seeing that the person who slashed this knife was Zhao Feng, the fighting spirit in Xu Chu's eyes suddenly burned, knowing that he had met a strong opponent. "Kill!" The two mobilized at the same time, the silver spear and the tiger sword came back and forth, and the killing was indistinguishable.

Zhao Feng knew that with his own martial arts, it would be more dangerous to single out Xu Chu, but if he was shy, the rest of the people would naturally be even worse.Seeing that Xu Chu came in aggressively, he had no choice but to pester him first, and then leave the others to the soldiers to deal with.Whether he can stand up to the Tiger Guards, Zhao Feng actually has no confidence at all.It's just that until now, I can only resist.

"Good guy, with such great strength, it's almost no less than Zhang Fei's strange man!" Zhao Feng felt that the opponent's every slash was almost as powerful as the world, and every time he resisted him, his arms were numb for a while. .With the two of them as the center, within a radius of ten feet, ordinary people can't get close at all, otherwise they will be affected and cut into a pile of pieces.

"My lord, the Tiger Guards are on the scene, and it won't be a problem to win Pujin Pass today!" Looking at the fierce battle on the top of the city across the Yellow River, Jia Xu comforted softly.Cao Cao nodded, didn't say anything, just continued to watch.

"Dang!" There was another clash of swords and guns, and Zhao Feng and Xu Chu each backed away a few steps.Of course, the former is not easy to bear. Facing Xu Chu's crazy power, he can only deal with it with the Tai Chi gun at first, but it is too passive to just defend and not attack after a long time.Xu Chu was also uncomfortable. There seemed to be a whirlpool of strength in the opponent's marksmanship. Every move he made was anticlimactic, and his strength could not be used to its full potential.

"Grandma, you can't beat you with strength, you can only rely on speed!" Zhao Feng gritted his teeth, discarded the Taiji spear, and used the Yang family's spear skills with all his strength. The moves were only offensive but not defensive, and stabbed Xu Chu's vital parts all over his body with all his strength. .Although Xu Chu didn't know the two ways of marksmanship, he also knew that the opponent had changed his tactics, so he cheered up and continued to fight with him.Although he is very strong, but Zhao Feng is fast enough, often stabbing out with a single shot, he is already in front of his vitals in an instant.The two fought against each other, and without knowing it, dozens of rounds were fought.

The two of them were fighting fiercely, and the rest of them were not idle.Under the leadership of Niu Jin and Zhang Ni, the battles in other places were also extremely fierce.The Tiger Guards were indeed the best in the world. The defenders stabbed down with long spears on the top of the city, but they were often grabbed by the guns. If they were not careful, they were dragged down by themselves.The scuffle lasted for a long time, if it wasn't for Niu Jin who led his men to check and make up for the omissions, and Zhang Ni alone to defend, perhaps hundreds of enemy troops would have already come up to the top of the city.Even so, the number of casualties of the defenders also skyrocketed.

"Ah!" Blocking Zhao Feng's shot towards his face, the two separated again. "Zhao Botao, call it a day!" At this moment, Cao Cao looked at the situation on the top of the wall and said softly.Since the Tiger Guards entered the battle, in just an hour, the casualties of the defenders have exceeded a thousand.Of course, the Tiger Guards had left almost everyone behind.But now as long as the army continues to attack, they can take the top of the city in half an hour at most. This loss is still worthwhile.

"Damn it, is it that the Tiger Guards are so powerful that I can't do it as soon as I go into battle?" Zhao Feng looked at Xu Chu who was also panting, and thought bitterly in his heart.I have persisted until now, is it so bad?Just now, he had already fought nearly two hundred moves with Xu Chu. This was almost the most difficult battle in his life, and he was almost at his limit.

"Come again!" Xu Chuhu roared, and the Tiger Saber struck again.Zhao Feng gritted his teeth and followed up again, at this moment, suddenly four long halberds were thrown out from his side, two of them aimed at Xu Chu's lower abdomen, and two of them blocked his Tiger Saber.Xu Chu was shocked, and hurriedly returned the knife to block the four blows, but Zhao Feng's shot that pierced his heart could not be completely avoided after all, and he was still hit in the ear by hastily dodging.

"Trapped into the camp?" Xu Chu and Zhao Feng blurted out at the same time.This kind of long halberd is the standard equipment of the trapped camp, Zhao Feng turned around in astonishment, only to see a large group of trapped soldiers had come to the top of the city, with their assistance, the precarious situation suddenly turned around.

"This is?" Xu Chu and Zhao Feng fought with all their strength just now, neither of them knew where this strange soldier came from.Especially Zhao Feng, he also hoped that Hao Zhao would arrive sooner, but what he didn't expect was that he was trapped in the camp, which was a big surprise.Of course, he was both surprised and happy, while Xu Chu was both surprised and angry.

"General Zhao, young general Hao Zhao is here!" Hao Zhao's voice was heard at this moment, Zhao Feng forced Xu Chu away with a shot, but it was Hao Zhaoting who rushed to help.Zhao Feng knew that now was not the time to talk, and after receiving the help from Hao Zhao and the trapped camp, the situation on the top of the city changed a lot.After a fierce battle, Xu Chu and the Tiger Guards were also forced to retreat to the city.This fierce battle lasted for more than two hours, but the result was nearly [-] casualties on both sides.

"Please forgive me, General, it's too late!" Hao Zhao saluted quickly after the enemy retreated. "It's not too late, Bodao, why did you bring your fellow camp here?" Zhao Feng asked hastily after taking a breath.

"The five hundred camps were deployed to Wuguan the day before yesterday. The general was worried about the situation at Pujin Pass, so he led the five hundred camps and borrowed horses from General Tongguan Wang to ride ahead. It will take an hour at most!" Hao Zhao said after taking a breath.

"Deployment?" Zhao Feng was taken aback when he heard the words. Could it be that who expected that he would be in danger today, so he had already ambushed the reinforcements along the way?After much deliberation, except for Zhuge Liang, no one should have guessed that he would march from Wuguan Road.Thinking of this, Zhao Feng also had to admire this guy.

"My lord, it seems that reinforcements are here?" Jia Xu looked at the Tiger Guards who had withdrawn from the top of the city on the other side of the Yellow River, and said softly.Cao Cao nodded, but said nothing.Not long after, Xu Chu, who was out of breath, ran back and pleaded guilty: "Master, the last general is incompetent. He was no match for the camp and failed to take the top of the city. The death and injury of the tiger guards were nearly two thousand. Please punish me, my lord."

"The Tiger Guards suffered nearly two thousand casualties?" Hearing Xu Chu's words, even Jia Xu couldn't help but feel a little moved. The Tiger Guards are Cao Jun's most elite infantry, with hundreds of casualties at most in previous battles. Today's death is almost Two thousand is really an unprecedented major setback.At this time, Cao Cao said: "Is it the camp?"

"Exactly, but I didn't see Gao Shun!" Xu Chu replied.Cao Cao 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, and at the same time spread the news of scouts to investigate nearby.

"Persist for another hour, and the reinforcements will come!" After receiving this news, the fighting spirit of the few remaining defenders was ignited again.Cao Hong is not Xu Chu, and the pressure to attack the city will be much less if he comes.Just like this, you attack and I defend step by step. After fighting for less than half an hour, although the reinforcements have not yet arrived, an unexpected thing happened.

It has been raining since the morning of this day, and it has been raining for most of the day, and the rain is really heavy.As a result, the Yellow River, which was originally relatively gentle, gradually became turbulent.And the pontoon bridge built on the river also began to shake.

"Come on, hurry up and reinforce the pontoon bridge with me!" Cao Cao hurriedly said.This pontoon bridge was not easy to come by. Since the boats within 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. of.In case it wants to have something good or bad, if it wants to rebuild a pontoon bridge, it will really be the year of the monkey.This also means that Cao Hong's ten thousand people stranded on the west bank of the river will become a lone army.Although there are only about 2000 defenders left, Cao Cao can't guarantee that Cao Hong will be safe staying on the west bank.

"My lord, I just visited Ma to report that there is a reinforcement army of tens of thousands of people at Tongguan, and they are rushing to Pujin Pass. In addition, Liu Bei's troops from Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou are frequently mobilized. It seems that they are coming to rescue Guanzhong!" At this moment, Cheng Yu rushed over and brought another bad news to Cao Cao. He was really afraid of something.

"Damn it, if the reinforcements came half an hour late, Pujin Pass would have already been taken!" Cao Cao murmured.At this moment, there was a "crash", and a large part of the pontoon bridge connecting the two banks of the river had been broken, and it was flowing downstream along the river.
