The Xuzhou Tournament is in full swing, and the coalition formed by Zhang Xiu, Niu Fu, and Ma Teng, with a total of 150,000 troops, has arrived in Tianshui and is bound to recapture Tianshui. Zhang Xiu is the coach of this operation, and Ma Teng As a deputy general, He Niufu obeyed Zhang Xiu's dispatch.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Zhang Xiu started beating drums to cheer and prepare to attack Tianshui.
"Prepare the catapults!" Zhang Xiu shouted and gave the order. Immediately more than twenty catapults were pushed out from behind. The soldiers immediately loaded the catapults with huge rocks and waited for Zhang Xiu's next order.
"Fortunately, General Yan has foresight." Zang Xia, Yan Yan's deputy general in Tianshui City, looked at the attacking army and praised Yan Yan for his foresight. Long before, Yan Yan was worried that Dong Zhuo would take advantage of their participation in the Xuzhou Tournament to launch a sneak attack on Tianshui. Before they left, they gave sufficient instructions to all the lieutenants, telling them not to let down their guard during this period. Dong Zhuo would not leave Tianshui as a critical place and would definitely find time to come and seize the meeting.
Now that they are participating in the Xuzhou Championship, Tianshui is at his weakest moment, and this period will also be the most dangerous moment.
However, Zang Xia was not worried at all about not being able to defend Tianshui. They were protected by city walls, and there were 100,000 troops in Tianshui City, and there was sufficient food and grass. Even if they could not defeat Dong Zhuo, they would have no problem holding on until the end of the Xuzhou Tournament.
"Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!" Zhang Xiu immediately commanded the catapult to attack Tianshui City.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Following Zhang Xiu's order, huge boulders hit Tianshui City like meteors. Each boulder caused great damage to Tianshui City, and many soldiers or civilians were hit by the boulders.
"Hide quickly!"
"Everyone hide!" When Zang Xia saw the opponent using a catapult, he immediately asked the soldiers on the city wall to hide to avoid the attack of the boulder.
Although this effect is good, some soldiers were hit by huge rocks, including people and the city wall!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The boulders continued to blast towards Tianshui City as if they were free of charge.
"Charge!" Zhang Xiu saw that many gaps in the city wall had been smashed, and he immediately began to command the army to launch a general attack.
Various powerful siege equipment such as Lu Gong's chariot and city ramming vehicle were pushed out one by one and stood at the front as the vanguard, followed by various infantry. Except for the cavalry, all other arms were thrown out by Zhang Xiu. !
Zhang Xiu wanted to take over Tianshui City in one fell swoop!
After a year of development, Dong Zhuo became more powerful than before.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Seeing that the catapults had stopped attacking, Zang Xia got up from the dust and saw Dong Zhuo starting to launch a general attack!
"Archers prepare!"
"Crossbow ready!"
"Prepare the catapult!"
Zang Xia, who got up, immediately issued a counterattack order!
"Wow!" Crossbow carts were pushed up one after another, and dense crowds of archers stood on the city wall. Dozens of catapults were also pushed out from behind the city wall. If a few had just been destroyed by huge rocks, the number of catapults There will be more!
Their catapult attack distance is not as far as Dong Zhuo's, which is why Zang Xia didn't use a catapult to deal with the catapult just now.
First, the distance was not as far as theirs, and second, their catapults were all in the city and they could not see the opponent's position. Their use at that time was not as effective as what they use now.
"Catapult, release!" Zang Xia used his own body to return fire to others. With one command, dozens of huge stones passed through the city wall and hit the battlefield outside the city.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Each boulder took away the lives of several Dong Zhuo soldiers. Even more unluckily, two of Lu Gong's cars were destroyed by the boulders!
"Archers are ready, ballistas are ready!"
"put!"
"put!"
Although the addition of catapults caused Dong Zhuo heavy casualties, the catapults could not be launched all the time. In addition, the number of enemy troops was indeed large, and the enemy quickly rushed within the range of their bows and arrows!
Arrows that covered the sky and sun fell like rain on Dong Zhuo's soldiers.
The war between the two sides is about to break out.
On the map of the Xuzhou Championship, as time went by and the time came to noon, the third safe range was also refreshed. Compared with the second safe range, the third safe range was smaller, and began to have everyone. The trend of rushing together, and the distance to the fourth safe range will be refreshed in three hours. Compared with the previous six hours, the time has been shortened by half!
At the same time, the fog in the East China Sea also disappeared, and the electronic map returned to normal.
"Hahaha, luck is still on our side!" Gongsun Zan looked at the position displayed on the electronic map and laughed. At this time, they had arrived at the Xinmu River in the East China Sea and were now looking for a way to cross the river. Go to the bridge.
Although it didn't go all the way west as imagined, and almost went all the way north, but fortunately it didn't deviate too far, and it was not far from the new safe range.
"Haha, thanks to General Yan for discovering this carriage." Gongsun Du praised Yan Gang again. If Yan Gang hadn't discovered this two-horse carriage, they would have rushed to the next safe area at their walking speed. Time will definitely be very tight, and there will be no time to rush over.
"Lord, a carriage has arrived, with two unknown people sitting in front." At this moment, Wang Lang's subordinate Zhang Ya saw the carriage of Gongsun Zan and his party and reported to Wang Lang.
"Great, I didn't expect anyone to actually pass by here!" Wang Lang clapped his hands and applauded immediately when he heard someone was about to pass the bridge. Zhang Ya said he didn't know him, so he must not be a powerful person. He would follow all powerful people. I have seen him in the live broadcast, but those who have not seen him must be just like him, an inconspicuous little prince.
Since he is a small prince, don't blame him for being cruel!
He turned out to be from Tancheng in the East China Sea and was familiar with the terrain of the East China Sea. After the fog dissipated, he led everyone to the Xinmu River Bridge and placed two horses in the middle of Qiao to block the bridge in an attempt to Obtain some powerful weapons and equipment from others.
This bridge is the only way from Qu County to Licheng, and the safety zone is on the edge of Licheng. If there are other participants in Qu County, they will definitely pass through here.
"Everyone is ready. As soon as they dismount, shoot them into a sieve immediately!" Wang Lang saw the carriage slowly driving towards this side and hid behind the obstacles. He asked everyone to take out their bows and arrows, waiting for the people in the carriage to dismount. , and launched a sneak attack on them!
As Wang Lang expected, Gongsun Du's carriage drove slowly over. After Gongsun Zan invited Gongsun Du to get on the carriage, Gongsun Du's subordinate Liu Yi and his youngest son Gongsun Gong took the initiative to ask Ying to drive for them.
"Hey!" Liu Yi and Gongsun Gong, who were driving the carriage, saw a horse on the bridge and immediately stopped the carriage on the edge of the bridge.
What happened to Liu Yi? "Seeing the carriage suddenly stop, Gongsun Du asked outside the carriage with some confusion.
"My lord, there is a row of horses blocking the way ahead, and my subordinates are worried about an ambush." Liu Yi answered truthfully to Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du.
"Oops!" Wang Lang on the other side slapped his thigh when he saw this scene. The opponent had to stop on the edge of the bridge. This was beyond their range!
However, this does not hinder his plan. The other party will definitely come and move the horse away.
With a team of five people, as long as you can successfully sneak attack, you will have a certain advantage in numbers!
"The plan has changed. Let's wait until the other side moves the horse and attack again!" Wang Lang whispered to the others that the plan of the four others had changed.
Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du looked at each other and decided to get out of the car to see what was going on.
I saw Gongsun Zan walking out of the carriage first.
"How is this possible!" Wang Lang couldn't believe that it was Gongsun Zan inside the carriage!
At this time, Wang Lang was already hesitating whether to continue attacking!
They definitely can't stand up to Gongsun Zan, but now the enemy is in the light and they are in the dark. A sneak attack may be enough to destroy the opponent.
"The plan remains unchanged!" Wang Lang hesitated for a moment and decided that the plan remained unchanged.
But the next scene completely ruined Wang Lang's plan.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Gang also got out of the carriage, and Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Zan and other soldiers got out of the carriage one after another.
Wang Lang was stunned when he saw this scene!
Counting the two people who drove the horse at the beginning, there were nine people in total!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even Wang Lang wouldn't have believed that one carriage could hold so many people!
How could he let him play with this?
"Brother Bogui, look at the horses arranged so neatly, there must be an ambush in front of you!" Gongsun Du saw that the horses were arranged so neatly on the bridge, so he guessed that there was an ambush on the other side, and the ambush was probably on the bridge. The bunker behind.
"Yes!" Gongsun Zan nodded and agreed.
Gongsun Zan immediately waved people to prepare bows and arrows, and slowly moved forward. As long as the bunker came into their shooting range, they could launch shots behind the bunker and kill those who ambush them.
Several people took out their bows and arrows one after another, cocked the arrows, and slowly moved towards the front of the bridge.
"Sure enough, there is someone!" Just as they were halfway walking, they saw a head sticking out from behind the bunker to inquire about their location.
"Charge!" Seeing that his side had been exposed, Gongsun Zan stopped covering up and immediately waved everyone to run and rush over.
"Lord, are we still fighting?" The one who just poked his head in was Zhang Ya. Seeing so many people on the other side, Zhang Ya asked Wang Lang if he was still proceeding as planned!
"beat!"
"Do it!" Just after Wang Lang said the first word, Zhang Ya immediately issued an attack command without any hesitation and started shooting arrows at Gongsun Zan.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Four arrows shot towards Gongsun Zan.
It's just that the accuracy was a little off, and none of the arrows hit.
Gongsun Zan on the other side also ordered everyone to shoot arrows.
"Brush!" A small shower of arrows shot towards the back of their bunker.
"Da da da!" Then the sound of a burst of arrows hitting the shield was heard, and all the arrows on Gongsun Zan's side were blocked by Zhang Ya and others with their shields.
Wang Lang people were dumbfounded when they saw the two sides fighting like this. What I wanted to say was to give him a hammer!
There are only so many people on the other side, and there are only five of them. The difference in strength is not even a tiny bit!
What he wants is to join if he can’t beat him!
Since the other party can form a team, why can't I?
But it's too late to say anything now!
As expected, Wang Lang and his party, who were approached by Gongsun Zan, were no match for Gongsun Zan's nine men. Gongsun Zan didn't even have time to explain to Wang Lang, and just took care of Wang Lang in a few strokes.
Wang Lang was eliminated by Gongsun Zan
Zhang Ya was eliminated by Gongsun Du
....was severely eliminated
...
Immediately afterwards, the sound of Wang Lang and several others being eliminated was heard in the sky.
"Bah, garbage!" Gongsun Zan checked the equipment dropped by Wang Lang and others, and then spat.
The equipment of Wang Lang and others are all rubbish first-level equipment, and there is no equipment that can kill bandits or wolves.
Who gave you the courage to block the bridge with this rubbish equipment?
"Poof!" After the eliminated Wang Lang returned to the present world, he saw Gongsun Zan insulting him after eliminating him. A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, and then he fainted to the ground.
On the other side, Han Dang, who was also watching the live broadcast, saw that Wang Lang and his group were so weak, so he began to plan to tell Sun Jian and others about Wang Lang's situation after they came back.
"Drive!" Li Ru on the other side was almost crying!
He finally escaped from Kong Rong's hands and was about to fight with the other two people, but unexpectedly he ran into Sun Jian and his party again in Linyi.
"Li Ru, quickly dismount and accept the surrender!" Sun Ce saw Li Ru running wildly in front, so he took off the compound bow obtained from "Slaying the Wolves", cocked an arrow, and aimed at Li Ru's back!
"Hold on!" Sun Ce released his bowstring.
The arrow shot towards Li Ru's heart like a meteor. After nearly two years of training, he had reached the level of Lu Bu Yuanmen's halberd shooting. This big Li Ru was a living target!
"Poof!" With a sound, the arrow accurately hit Li Ru in the back of the heart. Li Ru instantly turned into a white light and disappeared on the horse, leaving only a box in place.
Li Ru was eliminated by Sun Ce!
The sound of Li Ru being eliminated came from the sky.
Xun You breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of Li Ru being eliminated from the sky. Everyone could win, except Dong Zhuo's team.
If Dong Zhuo takes Xuzhou, no one in the world will be able to stop Dong Zhuo.
Ugu failed to reach the safe area on time and was eliminated due to exhaustion of energy.
Just after Li Ru was eliminated, there was another sound of being eliminated, an unknown person, and the remaining princes were not relieved.
"I'm the only one left now. I must survive!" Ji Yan was slightly startled when he heard that Wu Gu had also been eliminated. Others didn't know who Wu Gu was, but he knew that this time, except for Li Jue, , Guo Si, and Li Ru, the remaining two people were him and Wu Gu.
As he spoke, Ji Yan crawled forward, climbed to the water's edge, took a few gulps of water from the river, and grabbed some river grass from the river and stuffed it into his mouth to satisfy his hunger.
This was the safest way for Ji Yan to survive until the end. Fortunately, he was always within a safe range and did not have to look for horses, which reduced the possibility of exposure.
"How is the situation? Have Zhang Xiu, Niu Fu, and Ma Teng arrived in Tianshui?" Li Ru, who returned to the living world, immediately asked someone about the battle situation, not caring whether he was eliminated.
According to his calculations, the results of the Xuzhou Tournament will be announced tomorrow at the latest. If Tianshui is not won tomorrow, it will be even more difficult after Huang Quan, Yan Yan, and Zhang Ren return.
By then, they will be dragged to Liangzhou and Chang'an by Liu Yan, and it will be impossible to advance eastward!
It will even be wiped out by the princes of Guandong!
As he said this, Li Ru scolded Liu Yan, an old fox, for pretending not to join the alliance and letting him take it lightly. He didn't expect that this old man who was over fifty years old would still have such ambitions!
"Back to Mr. Li, General Zhang's battle report has arrived today. General Zhang and others arrived near Tianshui yesterday. They should have fought Liu Yan in Tianshui by now." The soldier took out a battle report and handed it to Li Ru, telling Li The latest news from Ru.
"Great!" Seeing that Zhang Xiu had arrived in Tianshui in the battle report, Li Ru felt a little relieved. The only thing left was to hope that Zhang Xiu could win Tianshui before the end of the game or before Huang Quan and others were eliminated. !
As long as Tianshui is captured, Huang Quan and others will return to their original place after the game. By then, these people will also be the turtles in the jar!
"This way, this way, block the gap and don't let any of Dong Zhuo's people come up!" As the battle went on, more and more ladders were piled on the city wall, and the corpses next to the city gates were also pushed away. Crowded like a mountain, Lu Gong's car was also burning with raging flames, and Zang Xia's command began to feel a little inadequate. At this time, Zang Xia had already lost his original promise to defend Tianshui before the end of the Xuzhou Tournament. In addition to the lack of generals to command, they , there is also a certain gap in numbers and weapons!
If they hadn't defended the city and had the advantage of the terrain, his army of 100,000 would have been defeated long ago.
Zang Xia wiped the sweat from his forehead and began to pray in his heart that Huang Quan and others would come back soon. If this continues until Dong Zhuo knocks open the city gate and the cavalry behind him starts to take action, Tianshui will really be lost!
