Gan Ning sprinted forward and met Cao Jun in an instant. His eyes widened, and he swung the sword in his hand and slashed it down hard. With a sizzling sound, the blade broke through the skin of Cao Jun's soldiers as if cutting brocade.

After one blow, Cao Bing fell to the ground screaming, blood flowing, and he saw more air coming out and less air coming in.

Gan Ning took advantage of the situation and took a step forward. He raised his sword and killed another Cao soldier in front, charging forward fiercely.

Zhang Ren, who was not far away, glanced sideways at Gan Ning. He fired his spear and killed two Cao soldiers in a row. He also rushed forward one after another. His spear suddenly changed sharply and swept across a large area like a stick.

Gan Ning and Zhang Ren advanced at about the same speed. Only Xu Chu screamed and shouted, "Anyone who stands in my way will die," while he slashed with the ring-headed sword in his hand. He still uses a fighting knife like the Huanshou Dao. It is better to return to chopping when walking. It is lighter and can swing the knife faster.

What Xu Chu shows is the beauty of violence. With one slash, he will either die or be injured. No soldier of Cao's army could block Xu Chu's sword.

With one strike, Cao Jun was frightened.

Wu's golden-armored soldiers were also constantly gathering, from three hundred to four hundred, and soon to five hundred, and the number continued to increase. From a distance, it looks like a golden wave that keeps moving forward.

With the fierce attack of Zhang Ren, Xu Chu and Gan Ning, Cao Jun was quickly killed and frightened. The Cao army that came to block the attack could not even form a serious line of defense, and soon began to collapse and flee.

"Run away quickly. This is Lu Xuan's magic weapon. With divine help, we can't stop it."

"We can't stop it anymore, retreat quickly."

"These people are possessed by gods, and they are Lu Xuan's magic. Retreat quickly, let's go to Nanzheng and join the King of Qin."

From the crowd, shouts of retreat came one after another.

Some people even ran away. Once Cao's army broke up and fled, large numbers of people stopped resisting.

Xiahou Yuan's Cao army was elite, but these elites were frightened when they saw Lu Xuan setting up an altar and casting spells on the tower of Yangping Pass. Then I saw the hot air balloons falling from the sky. I was captured and frightened.

Because of Xia Houyuan's strong suppression, these soldiers reluctantly cheered up and raised their fighting spirit to fight. Now that Xu Chu, Zhang Ren and Gan Ning were hit in the face, the fighting spirit that he had barely raised collapsed, and the panic and fear that had been suppressed in his heart resurfaced again, and he completely collapsed.

Gan Ning and others continued to attack, getting closer and closer to Yangping Pass.

When the distance was less than a hundred steps, this golden torrent was noticed by Xia Houyuan on the tower of Yangping Pass. Xia Houyuan looked sad. He was fiercely attacked by Lu Xuan. Because Lu Xuan's offensive was very fierce, he had mobilized 5,000 people to resist with all his strength.

Fortunately, it's holding on pretty well for now.

After all, the terrain of Yangping Pass is steep, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, an enemy force appeared in the pass, and the thousand men he sent were defeated. This was quite fatal.

Xiahou Yuan only had 8,000 men, 5,000 were used to resist Lu Xuan, and 1,000 collapsed, leaving only 2,000. Sending another thousand men up will not be able to withstand the attack in the pass. To stop it, two thousand men must be sent out.

This meant that his troops were completely exhausted.

"Damn it, Lu Xuan is so cunning."

Xia Houyuan cursed loudly.

The biggest problem at present does not come from outside the pass, but from within the pass. Only by blocking this elite force inside the pass can we have a chance to hold on. Once Yangping Pass was opened and Lu Xuan's army cooperated internally and externally, Yangping Pass collapsed completely.

Xia Houyuan's eyes turned and landed on a general not far away, and said loudly: "Huang Silang!"

"The general is here!"

Huang Silang answered with clasped fists.

He has a Chinese character face, narrow eyebrows and long eyes, which gives him a sense of righteousness. Under Xia Houyuan's command, Huang Silang was a capable general and knew how to use military strategies.

Xia Houyuan said: "You will be responsible for the command on the city tower. I will go to resist the enemy attack in the pass. If I am defeated, it is up to you. As long as I am here, you will fight to the death and hold off Lu Xuan. attack."

"I will obey your orders!"

Huang Silang replied loudly.

Xia Houyuan took the long sword from the soldier's hand, went down from the gate tower, mobilized the remaining two thousand elites, and loudly ordered: "The enemies appearing in the city are not the heavenly generals' magic soldiers, but just ordinary soldiers of Lu Xuan."

"Now, everyone will follow me to fight. If you win this battle, everyone will get a reward. If you lose, not only will you be a coward, but your family will be implicated. In this battle, we will fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

Two thousand soldiers shouted.

"Set off!"

Xia Houyuan gave the order.

Wearing armor and carrying a sword, he rushed to the front, followed by two thousand soldiers. The group of people headed in the direction of Gan Ning, Xu Chu and Zhang Ren. In a blink of an eye, the two sides met and the soldiers attacked each other.

Gan Ning happened to be facing Xia Houyuan. While fighting Xia Houyuan, he shouted loudly: "Xu Chu, you and Zhang Ren lunge together to open the door and welcome the army to enter the pass."

"clear."

Xu Chu replied.

He glanced at Xia Houyuan reluctantly, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

If Xia Houyuan is closest to him, he can take Xia Houyuan. Now that Xia Houyuan was facing Gan Ning, killing him would delay time, and it was a bit inappropriate. After all, the top priority now is to capture Yangping Pass.

Xu Chu temporarily suppressed his thoughts of killing Xia Houyuan and thought of turning on the switch first. If Gan Ning is unable to capture Xia Houyuan, he will wait until the gate of Yangping Pass is opened and he will come back.

Xu Chu and Zhang Ren rushed forward together, with one sword and one spear, one left and one right, they were invincible.

Even though Xiahou Yuan's soldiers numbered 2,000 and Wu's army only had more than 600 golden-armored soldiers gathered together, with the cooperation of Xu Chu and Zhang Ren, more than 600 people were able to fight one against ten, unleashing the strongest combat power, which Cao's army in front could not stop.

The army rushed forward quickly.

Xu Chu quickly reached the city gate of the pass, slashed the blocking Cao soldiers with one knife, cut off the iron lock binding the door bolt, quickly removed the door bolt, and directly let people open the gate of Yangping Pass.

Crunch!

The gate of Yangpingguan is opened.

The soldiers of the Wu army who were charging outside the gate quickly poured in.

For a time, countless Wu troops roared and charged, their momentum like a rainbow. As the gate of the pass was breached, Cao Jun's soldiers on the tower of Yangping Pass collapsed first, and Huang Silang and his men fled quickly.

Xu Chu met the Wu soldiers outside the pass, thinking about Xia Houyuan, turned around and sprinted back with his sword in hand.

Before he got close to Xia Houyuan, he was the first to encounter Huang Silang who rushed down. Xu Chu looked anxious, and he roared and slashed twice in succession. The first blow knocked Huang Silang's knife away, and the second blow cut off Huang Silang's head.

Xu Chu continued to charge, and rushed to Gan Ning's side in a blink of an eye. Seeing that Gan Ning had not yet dealt with Xia Houyuan, he shouted loudly: "General Gan, let me come."

He stepped in with the Huanshou sword, and resisted Xia Houyuan's sword with one blow. He grinned, revealing his strong white teeth, and suddenly burst out with force, swinging away Xia Houyuan's sword.

"Xia Houyuan, give me a blow from Grandpa Xu."

The ring-shou knife in Xu Chu's hand struck down and turned into a cold light, falling towards Xia Houyuan's head.
