The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 307 The Battle of Anzhong
In the early morning of the next day, when daylight began to dim, the ground under Anzhong City was still covered with a thin layer of white mist.Judging from the current weather, such a humid climate, I am afraid that frost will fall in a few days.

But soon, those city guards who had sleepy eyes suddenly all looked out of the city, and then their eyes opened wider and wider!
Then, someone shouted loudly: "The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming..."

The ground began to vibrate. Liao Sheng, Xiong Ping, and Meng Xi's army, plus the 4000 troops allocated to them by Guan Xing, a total of 1 people, under the reflection of the rising sun, marched towards the Fortress of Anzhong Come.Looking from the top of the city, the blackness is like ants overwhelming the sky!
Xiong Ping's vanguard first arrived at the city to set up a line of battle. In front of them was a huge charging cart, but it was a weapon left by Lu Jianjun, and it was not known what they wanted to use it for.

Later, Liao Sheng guessed that this might be used by Lu Jian to attack the city when he wanted to fight back to Fancheng, right?This person is really arrogant enough. Wasn't he finally killed by Guan Ping?

Xiong Ping looked at the rushing car excitedly, his heart was full of desire to fight!Under the reddish sunlight, his tall body, together with the horse under him, cast a long shadow on the ground.He immediately looked at the soldiers lined up, and then drew out his saber and shouted: "Soldiers, for the sake of the King of Hanzhong, for the sake of the son, we must take down the Fortress of Anzhong today!"

Thousands of soldiers under Xiong Ping raised their weapons high at the same time and shouted loudly: "For the sake of the king of Hanzhong, for the son, we must take down the fortress of Anzhong today...!"

Liao Sheng was obviously also infected by Xiong Ping's subordinates, and he couldn't hide his excitement any longer. He sat on his horse, turned his head and said loudly to his orderler: "Order to beat the drums, everyone is ready to launch attack!"

As a result, the rumbling sound of war drums, wave after wave, resounded through the battlefield, far away and full of murderous intent, and immediately many people in Anzhong City felt terrified.

The three generals Liao Sheng, Xiong Ping, and Meng Xi rode their horses to the battle flags of their troops. They all raised their swords high and mobilized their soldiers before the battle.

And the emotions of those soldiers were also aroused. They exhausted all their strength one by one, and followed the three generals to shout various slogans. It seemed that after shouting like this, they would really become brave and even invincible up!
But what was surprising was that Liao Sheng and Meng Xi were the first to attack.The two generals held their sabers high at the same time, and said loudly, after everyone charged with me, they rushed down the city first.Their soldiers fired arrows, followed by another burst of shouts, and then followed closely behind and rushed out bravely.

Seeing this, Xiong Ping immediately jumped off his horse, rushed behind the chariot, and followed the soldiers to push the huge chariot!This person is really a desperate guy when he fights!

So, with the sound of war drums shaking the sky, Xiong Ping and the soldiers shouted loudly at the same time, pushing the chariot towards the city gate.In order to protect the safety of the soldiers, three or four hundred sword players rushed over from both sides of the car, each holding a long hexagonal shield, and accompanied the soldiers to cover them.The role of these knife players is to provide them with sufficient protection when they rush into the range of the archers at the head of the city.

All of a sudden, the battlefield was full of killing sounds and murderous aura, and the soldiers of the attacking troops rushed towards the gate of Anzhong Fortress like a tide.

Zhao Yan was already standing on the top of the city at this time, and he had completely seen the scene just now under the city.He was wearing a white armor and a white helmet. The breeze from the top of the city gently brushed the light beard on his chin, and his face looked very dignified.The Cao Wei battle flag behind him unfurled in the breeze, making a soft sound.

Zhao Yan immediately nodded to the lieutenant general Guo Hui and said, "The enemy is coming up, get ready to fight!"

Guo Hui nodded and said: "My lord, everything in our army has been prepared!"

At this moment, Liao Sheng shouted loudly: "Archers get ready!" Most of the infantry following him took their bows from the arrows and began to string them.

Then, following Liao Sheng's cry of "Let it go!" Liu Chanjun's bow and arrow troops first fired at Anzhong Field.Arrows all over the sky rushed into the sky at the same time, making a shocking sound of piercing through the air, and immediately kicked off the prelude to today's doomed bloody battle.

Guo Hui's expression was very calm. With a wave of his right hand, the swordsmen who were already in place on the top of the city immediately stepped forward and raised their long shields to cover Zhao Yan and their archers.

Then, Guo Hui pointed forward with the saber in his hand, and shouted loudly: "All archers, shoot arrows, let them go!"

The sound of long arrows tearing the air was heard, and the soldiers on the city could only hear the rustling sound, which almost covered up the shouts of Liu Chan's army rushing from below the city.

The long arrows fell like a violent storm, and the screams and exclamations resounded throughout the battlefield along with the falling figures.

Xiong Ping and the soldiers pushing the cart, under the cover of the sword players, braved the long arrows whizzing back and forth all over the sky, and marched forward with all their strength.But even so, there are still people who are shot by arrows from time to time, and then leave the ranks of the carts.

But even so, everyone seems to be more motivated, because only by rushing over faster, their casualties will be reduced!

Then, driven by [-] soldiers, the car was speeding at a high speed, and the car body made a huge roar on the rough ground, and the momentum was really amazing.

Under the cover of a large number of archers, the attacking troops in front finally reached the city wall after losing hundreds of men.They set up dozens of ladders with a height of seven to eight feet along the city wall, and the storming troops began their offensive performance!
At this time, Zhao Yan's eyes flashed, and then he calmly issued new instructions to Cao Wei's soldiers on the top of the city, and then all his archers stopped shooting.Then, countless large and small bricks were smashed down from the city wall, as well as those huge lumberjacks!
The soldiers of Liao Sheng and Meng Xi were immediately hit hard, causing heavy casualties.But they know that they are here to seize the city, but they come to play games from time to time, and they are already prepared for death or injury.

The two immediately shouted, and then charged forward after taking the lead.Driven by these two generals, Liu Chanjun's fighting spirit was once again aroused, and he rushed forward again.

Although Cao Wei's soldiers were numerous, they were mainly county and state soldiers, and their weaknesses in combat effectiveness were exposed all at once. Under the desperate impact of Liu Chan's army, they soon seemed a little powerless.After a short time, the soldiers of Liu Chan's army finally managed to climb over the city wall and rushed towards the soldiers of Cao Wei's army aggressively.

The brutal hand-to-hand battle at the head of the city finally started.

Zhao Yan's face suddenly became a little ugly.He originally thought that with so many troops, it would be impossible for the enemy to climb the city wall!But he was wrong, in his overly optimistic estimate of the situation.He was immediately surrounded by several guards with high martial arts skills - these people were Lu Jian's guards yesterday, but now that Lu Jian is dead, they can only follow and listen to Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan watched as more and more people from Liu Chan's army climbed to the top of the city. If this continues, the top of the city may be difficult to hold.

Zhao Yan was really furious now.He suddenly pushed away the guards around him, rushed forward and grabbed a battle flag of the Cao Wei army, while shaking it, he shouted loudly to cheer up the soldiers.

The soldiers of the Cao Wei army saw that a general like Zhao Yan, who was completely incapable of martial arts, was able to treat death like home like this, and their fighting spirit was immediately inspired.They immediately rushed to the enemy bravely.

The battle immediately became more and more intense, and the city quickly turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!
Seeing this, Guo Hui knew that the top of the city was too dangerous now, and Zhao Yan's safety could not be guaranteed if this continued.He immediately rushed back to Zhao Yan, and said loudly, "Master Canjun, go down to the city! It's too dangerous here, we really can't protect your safety."

Zhao Yan stopped the pre-war in his hand, and said out of breath, "Don't worry about me, today is the time for me, Zhao Boran, to be loyal to the Great Wei!" In his words, he already had the ambition to die for the country!
Seeing this, Guo Hui quickly started persuading again, but Zhao Yan was determined now, no matter how he tried to persuade him, it would not work.Guo Hui had no choice but to say in the end: "If Zhao Canjun is like this, then I will accompany you to shed the last drop of blood for the country!"

After finishing the plan, he stomped his feet fiercely, turned around and led his people, and killed the enemy not far away.

At this time, Xiong Ping's charging car was completely blocked by the sword player's big shield, and he was already approaching the city gate.The Cao Wei soldiers on the gate tower had to shoot with long arrows again, hoping to stop them, but there was no threat at all.

At this time, the speed of the car was getting faster and faster. When the city gate was less than 40 meters away, Xiong Ping knew that it was finally time for the final sprint.He then shouted loudly: "Brothers, come with me..."

The soldiers pushing the cart all shouted.They broke out, exhausted all their strength, pushed the huge cart, and rushed towards the two tall dark city gates quickly.

However, at this time, the array of knife players could no longer keep up with the speed of the rushing car, and was immediately left behind by the rushing car.The soldiers pushing the cart immediately lost their protection, and the number of soldiers shot by the arrows began to increase, and then fell down, and then they were shot into a hornet's nest by random arrows!
However, everyone no longer cared about life and death, and their emotions seemed to become crazy with the sound of rumbling wheels.They roared and ran, their bare arms gleaming darkly in the sun, their goal was only one, and that was the gate of Anzhong Fortress!

The soldiers of the Cao Wei army on the city gate tower obviously knew the urgency of the situation, and they all shot long arrows one after another with all their strength.They knew that if they didn't quickly organize this behemoth under the city, the city gate might really be knocked open.

However, they ultimately failed!With the appearance of a loud bang, the soldiers on the top of the city suddenly felt their feet shake violently, and even the sky seemed to shake with it. In fact, it seemed that the entire Anzhong Fortress was shaking!

Zhao Yan almost fell to the ground, turned around and looked in the direction of the city gate in surprise, and then saw that huge rushing car!

Zhao Yan immediately shouted loudly: "Hurry up, shoot that car with a rocket, or the city gate will be destroyed!"

So, the messenger rushed to the gate of the city immediately, and dozens of rockets were shot at the chariot immediately, causing a big fire.

Xiong Ping was in a panic, and had no choice but to retreat temporarily, and wait until the flames above were extinguished before launching a new attack!

This day's battle continued until nightfall, but due to Zhao Yan's proper command and the desperate resistance of Cao Wei's soldiers, although Liu Chan's army rushed to the top of the city many times to fight hand-to-hand, they were eventually repelled.In the end, after paying the price of 700 casualties, they could only choose to temporarily stop the attack.

Although the battle of Anzhong was not smooth, Guan Yu's army won a big victory at this time.Guan Yu took advantage of Xu Huang's army's floating spirit to launch a strong attack and defeated Xu Huang's army in one fell swoop, forcing Xu Huang to retreat fifteen miles to the village.
