"Archers! Defend!" Wei Yan shouted.
A group of archers followed closely behind, aiming at the city walls!
Countless arrows shot out, tracing graceful arcs through the sky before piercing the Jiangdong army below the city walls.
"Shieldbearers! Shieldbearers!"
"Axemanships, prepare! Attack the city!"
Xu Sheng shouted, and the shield bearers simultaneously raised their shields, organizing a defense. Meanwhile, the Jiangdong army, under the cover of the shield bearers, charged towards the city wall.
"Archers, suppress them! The rest of you, push forward and kill these bastards!" Wei Yan roared angrily.
The archers moved in unison, firing wildly. Rows of Jiangdong soldiers fell, but they continued to climb upwards fearlessly.
Upon seeing this, Wei Yan roared, "Get out of my way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yan brandished his long sword and slashed fiercely.
In an instant, several Jiangdong soldiers who had just climbed the city wall were cut down, their flesh and blood flying everywhere.
"Kill them!"
The soldiers from Jiangdong also fought bravely, engaging in close combat with Wei Yan's troops and engaging in fierce battles.
These Jiangdong troops came prepared!
Huang Zhong's 50,000-strong army had been attacking cities and capturing strongholds for several days and was already exhausted.
Just when they were finally able to get some rest for the night, the Jiangdong army launched a surprise attack. Before the Shu army could react, the enemy had already stormed the city walls.
The two sides were engulfed in a chaotic battle!
"Pfft!"
Wei Yan swung his long sword and severed the neck of a Jiangdong junior officer, causing blood to spurt out.
At this moment, Huang Zhong also arrived on the city wall. He snorted coldly and slashed out with his long sword, killing a Jiangdong soldier.
The two men worked in perfect coordination, one guarding the left and the other the right, preventing more and more Jiangdong soldiers from climbing the city wall.
But there were too many Jiangdong soldiers, and they charged towards the city walls one after another, fearless of death.
Although Wei Yan and Huang Zhong were strong, they could not withstand the increasing number of Jiangdong soldiers.
They quickly found themselves unable to hold on any longer.
Subsequently, the city gates were breached, and the Jiangdong army swarmed in.
"It's over!"
Wei Yan and Huang Zhong looked ashen-faced. They exchanged a glance, their faces filled with sorrow.
"Soldiers, follow me to break through and fight our way out!" Huang Zhong said through gritted teeth, carrying his long sword and charging out first.
Wei Yan followed closely behind.
"Kill them!"
Wei Yan and Huang Zhong charged to the forefront of the Shu army, and one by one, Jiangdong soldiers died under their blades.
"ah..."
The fierce battle cries echoed through the sky, and one Shu soldier after another fell to the ground.
Wei Yan and Huang Zhong were also covered in blood, their long swords slashing incessantly, hoping to carve a bloody path through the enemy lines!
However, at that moment, a sharp arrow pierced the air and came straight for Wei Yan's face!
Wei Yan couldn't dodge in time and hurriedly turned his head to the side, where the arrow grazed past his ear.
Meanwhile, Huang Zhong, who was standing nearby, also encountered danger!
Arrows rained down, and Huang Zhong was unable to dodge in time, suffering a wound to the shoulder from an arrow.
He groaned and fell off his horse.
"Protect the general! Protect the general!" Wei Yan roared.
Wei Yan immediately dismounted and went to Huang Zhong, anxiously asking, "How is the general?"
Huang Zhong shook his head and said, "It's alright, help me onto my horse!"
Looking at the devastated Haihun County, Wei Yan was filled with grief and murmured, "General, we should retreat immediately!"
Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong roared, "Wei Yan! We are military generals, and we should die on the battlefield, wrapped in our horses' hides! Even if I die, I will die on my horse. Help me onto my horse! Slay the enemy!"
"General..."
Wei Yan tried to persuade him further, but Huang Zhong remained resolute.
Left with no other choice, Wei Yan helped Huang Zhong onto his horse, then spurred his horse to follow Huang Zhong as they charged outwards.
At this time, Haihun County had been turned into a slaughterhouse.
Whether it was Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, or the Shu soldiers, they were all exhausted, but the Jiangdong army continued to charge forward.
Huang Zhong took the lead, brandishing his broadsword, aiming at Xu Sheng's direction, and charged forward to kill him.
Xu Sheng saw the old Huang Zhong in his hand, a cruel smile appeared on his face, and he immediately engaged Huang Zhong in battle.
"Take this!" Huang Zhong roared, launching a full-scale attack on Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng laughed loudly and said, "You old bastard, you're dead!"
With a clang, the two men's weapons clashed together.
Xu Sheng felt as if he had crashed into a mountain; his hand went numb, and he almost lost his grip on the broadsword.
"How could this be?" Xu Sheng exclaimed in shock.
Huang Zhong was already injured, yet he was still able to unleash such powerful fighting strength.
But now Xu Sheng had a vague feeling that he was no match for them.
Then, Huang Zhong suddenly drew his sword and took the opportunity to approach Xu Sheng.
"Pfft!"
Caught off guard, Xu Sheng was stabbed in the chest.
He staggered back a few steps, looked down, and saw blood flowing down his armor, staining most of his chest red.
Huang Zhong pressed his advantage and slashed down again, aiming straight for Xu Sheng's throat!
"Bang!"
At the critical moment, a long spear blocked Huang Zhong's fatal blow.
Upon seeing the reinforcements, Xu Sheng was overjoyed: "General Cheng, quickly kill this traitor!"
It was none other than veteran Cheng Pu who arrived!
Cheng Pu looked at Huang Zhong with a grim expression and said, "Huang Zhong, surrender!"
Huang Zhong sneered, "You old fool, you want me to surrender? Dream on!"
"Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being impolite!" Cheng Pu roared, raising his spear to thrust forward.
