Chapter 233 238, Hundreds of cavalrymen break through the army and vow to kill Lu Meng!
When a wave of offensives from Jiangdong was repelled and new forces had not yet taken over the attack, the gates of Jiangling city suddenly opened and a group of cavalry rushed out.
Originally, the Jiangdong Army did not care about this.
The worst thing about defending a city is to stay in silence.
If the defenders just keep defending the city, their morale will be low and they will find it difficult to continue.
Therefore, the defenders need to find the right opportunity from time to time to go out of the city and launch a counterattack.
On the one hand, it can burn and destroy the enemy's siege equipment, undermine the enemy's morale, and temporarily disrupt the enemy's siege rhythm. On the other hand, it can boost the morale of one's own side and create a chance for one's own defenders to rest and catch their breath.
Therefore, the Jiangdong Army could be said to have anticipated this sudden counterattack from Jiangling City. The Jiangdong Army soldiers near the siege equipment were on high alert, waiting for the enemy to attack.
However, to the surprise of the Jiangdong army, this team of cavalry that went out of the city to counterattack did not attack the siege equipment such as chariots and catapults outside the city, nor did they chase after the tired soldiers who had just retreated from the top of the city. Instead, they rushed straight towards the main camp of the Jiangdong army.
This is just a cavalry of about a hundred people.
The two leaders were a tall man wearing a white robe and holding a spear without even armor. The other man riding alongside him was wearing red armor, riding a red horse, holding a sharp sword. It was none other than Guan Feng!
When they saw Guan Feng, the Jiangdong soldiers' eyes lit up and their spirits were boosted.
If Guan Feng could be kept outside the city, Jiangling City, which had already caused the Jiangdong army to shed a lot of blood, could be almost captured!
"Kill Guan Feng!"
A lieutenant in the cavalry of the Jiangdong Army shouted excitedly, squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and rushed forward with his cavalry.
There are not many cavalrymen in Jiangdong, but there are some.
During the siege, although the cavalry did not participate in the battle, they were still guarding the city from a distance, always on guard against a counterattack by the defenders.
Seeing that Guan Feng actually led his troops out of the city to counterattack in person, and only brought a few hundred cavalry, the Jiangdong army lieutenant, who was eager to make a contribution, led his troops to charge without saying a word.
Rumble!
Amid the thundering sound of horse hooves, the two cavalry units approached rapidly.
Ouyang Feng glanced at Guan Feng beside him and said with a smile:
"The opening victory is mine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he lightly pressed his palm on the back of the warhorse under him. The warhorse seemed to be injected with some kind of magical power. Its speed increased more than times, and it carried Ouyang Feng and rushed towards the oncoming Jiangdong cavalry like lightning.
Before the lieutenant colonel who was leading the charge could react, Ouyang Feng, dressed in snow-white, had already rushed in front of him. He swung the Moon Wolf Spear lightly, and under the tremendous force, the 108-jin steel spear suddenly bent into a bow shape, blasting the air with a deafening sonic boom, and then hit the lieutenant colonel hard, smashing his torso into pieces with one blow!
Ouyang Feng rode non-stop, and with an extremely brutal attitude, he slammed into the following cavalry group. His Moon Wolf Spear swung wildly, sweeping and slashing wildly. Every strike brought out a storm-like gust of wind and blasted a bloody rain all over the sky.
In the blink of an eye, a strong wind was howling around Ouyang Feng.
The blood flying all over the sky was sucked into the strong wind and turned into blood mist, dyeing the strong wind red. Then the invisible strong wind surrounding Ouyang Feng turned into a blood storm visible to the naked eye!
Ouyang Feng and his horse were wrapped in the blood-red storm, and his original appearance could no longer be seen.
From afar, one could only see a scarlet storm like a blood dragon rolling forward, sweeping madly, and wherever it passed, people and horses were shattered, and body parts and heads flew all over the sky!
As soon as the battle started, Ouyang Feng turned into a killing god and pierced through the Jiangdong cavalry in one fell swoop.
When cavalry charged, their formations were often relatively dispersed. No matter how strong Ouyang Feng's killing power was or how wide his attack range was, it was impossible for him to wipe out all 300-strong Jiangdong cavalry with just one charge.
However, his horrific killing also frightened the Jiangdong cavalry.
So much so that when they faced Guan Feng and the other hundred cavalrymen who followed behind, most of the Jiangdong cavalrymen were still in shock, their limbs were weak, and they were easily cut down by Guan Feng and the other hundred cavalrymen like chopping melons and vegetables.
Guan Feng slashed with his long sword continuously, and wherever the sword flashed, the Jiangdong cavalry had almost no chance of matching their opponent. They were either beheaded or cut in half.
She killed her way through the enemy camp in one breath, and suddenly her vision became clear. She saw that the scarlet storm around Ouyang Feng had dissipated, and there was no blood on his body. He was riding his horse slowly, as if waiting for her.
Guan Feng raised the corners of her lips, a smile appeared on her face, and she gave another delicate scolding:
"Keep charging! We won't turn back until we kill Lu Meng!"
"I will never turn back until I kill Lu Meng!"
The hundreds of cavalrymen in the rear, none of whom had lost any men, shouted in unison, and their high-spirited war roars shook the entire battlefield.
When Guan Feng caught up from behind, Ouyang Feng turned his head and smiled at Guan Feng, then rode alongside her, leading a hundred cavalrymen and charging towards the main camp of the Jiangdong army.
A group of infantry appeared in front, with large shields like a wall, long spears like a forest, and a thick formation. From behind, a rain of arrows rose into the air and shot towards this small cavalry.
The cavalrymen drew their swords one after another to block the rain of arrows. Many of them even ignored the arrows shot at them and only focused on protecting their horses.
Although they were only wearing light armor, these one hundred riders were the best among Guan Feng's five hundred soldiers. All of them had trained in "iron armor". Even if the rain of arrows falling from the sky broke through their light armor, the remaining force would not be enough to hurt their well-trained bodies.
The cavalry charged under a hail of arrows.
Ouyang Feng and Guan Feng, who are at the arrow position, have already rushed to the front of the Jiangdong Army's infantry formation.
Facing the shield wall and spear forest that was difficult for ordinary cavalry to cross, Guan Feng whistled, swung his long sword, and cut out a sword energy that looked like a green dragon. It slashed down on the shield wall, shattering seven or eight large shields in one blow. More than ten warriors holding shields and spearmen setting up the spear forest in the rear were also killed by this sword energy.
Ouyang Feng threw out the Moon Wolf Spear fiercely. The steel spear flashed with flames and flew into the enemy formation, piercing through a large shield and two enemy soldiers before piercing the ground diagonally.
Then the flame attached to the steel spear exploded, like a heavy artillery falling into the enemy camp, and all the Jiangdong soldiers within a ten-foot diameter of the steel spear's landing point were blown into pieces, including their armor. The Jiangdong soldiers within ten feet and three feet away were also blown away on the spot by the shock wave, knocking down a large number of Jiangdong soldiers around them.
The infantry formation, which was originally tight and solid and difficult for cavalry to penetrate, suddenly had a huge gap due to the joint efforts of Guan Feng and Ouyang Feng.
Guan Feng rushed into the gap in the enemy's formation on his horse, slashing left and right with his sword, causing the enemy's limbs to fly everywhere and blood to spurt out like a fountain.
Ouyang Feng also entered the battle formation side by side with her. He picked up the Moon Wolf Spear that was nailed to the ground through the air, and chopped, swept, picked up and smashed the weapons and armor with the steel spear.
The hundred cavalrymen who followed the two men took advantage of the situation to charge into the enemy formation, expanding the results of the battle. With spears and steel swords, they killed the Jiangdong army, leaving corpses all over the ground and wailing in the sky. In just a blink of an eye, the infantry formation collapsed.
Ouyang Feng and Guan Feng ignored the fleeing soldiers who had thrown away their weapons and armor, and continued to lead their troops towards the main camp of the Jiangdong army, aiming directly at the tall battle platform with the Lu-shaped battle flag flying.
As he charged, Guan Feng let out another long whistle:
"I will never turn back until I kill Lu Meng!"
The cavalrymen also shouted in unison:
"I will never turn back until I kill Lu Meng!"
The overflowing morale made the sound of these hundreds of people shouting in unison temporarily overwhelm all the noise on the battlefield, and even reached the ears of Lu Meng on the distant battlefield.
"I will never turn back until I kill Lu Meng?"
Lu Meng focused his eyes and looked at the small group of cavalry that were charging forward at full speed.
The cavalry, led by Guan Feng in red helmet and armor and a man in white holding a spear, led no more than a hundred cavalrymen to charge forward. Although they were few in number, they crushed anyone who stood in their way.
No matter whether it was the few cavalrymen in the Jiangdong army or the infantry formations that were ready for battle, they were all vulnerable and collapsed at the first blow when Guan Feng and the man in white led the charge.
What's even more outrageous is that up to now in the battle, the hundred cavalrymen led by the two men have not lost a single horse!
"Who is the man next to Guan Feng? He is so brave, could it be Zhao Yun, the Dragon?" Lu Meng's cheeks flushed, and he looked even sicker. "No, Zhao Yun is already over 50 years old, not that young..."
"Captain!"
A Jiangdong general rode up on his horse, leaped onto the platform without paying any attention to etiquette, and said in a hurry:
"The bandit cavalry is heading straight for the general's platform. For the sake of the governor's safety, please take shelter for a while!"
"Take shelter for now?" Lu Meng's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at the general, "The enemy attacking us is only a mere hundred cavalrymen, and my main force has ten thousand men. Can't we stop a mere hundred cavalrymen?"
"Commander-in-chief, Guan Feng is a martial arts expert, with some of his father's style, and the white-robed cavalry commander is even more..."
The general said in a hoarse voice: "Even more ferocious than Guan, Zhang, and Zhao... The hundreds of cavalrymen under his command are all as fierce as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. It is night time now, and our army cannot be mobilized. I am afraid..."
"Guan Yu's daughter can lead a hundred cavalrymen to charge in the night, but our army is in its own formation and still can't mobilize?"
Lu Meng murmured, with deep disappointment in his eyes.
The land warfare capability of the Jiangdong Army has always been underestimated by the world. Back then, Zhang Liao, with only 800 men, dared to charge against the camp of 100,000 Jiangdong Army and even dared to attack Sun Quan's general flag.
Lü Meng had been plotting this time, intending to seize Jingzhou and defeat Guan Yu, who had just shocked China, in one fell swoop, so that the world would take a new look at Jiangdong. However, he had no idea...
Tens of thousands of troops were unable to withstand the charge of a mere hundred cavalrymen, and his generals actually advised him, the governor of Jiangdong, to temporarily avoid the enemy!
Of course you can avoid it.
Although the hundred cavalrymen were invincible and had made great progress along the way, they were still a long distance away from the general's platform, and Lu Meng still had time to evacuate.
But once he withdrew, the soldiers looked back and saw that he was no longer on the podium. Wouldn't the entire army be defeated under the attack of the enemy cavalry?
If the troops were defeated at night and the enemy took advantage of the opportunity to pursue us, the losses would be incalculable and the plan to seize Jingzhou would fail.
Even if Lu Meng could survive, he would surely become a laughing stock of the world and future generations because of his futile attack and the loss of many soldiers and generals, as well as a crushing defeat!
"I can't avoid it... I, the governor, absolutely cannot avoid it!"
Lu Meng's eyes flashed with fierceness. He raised his finger and pointed at the hundred cavalrymen who were rushing forward like waves that split the sea, piercing through the numerous military formations, stirring up a bloody rain and a sharp wind, slicing off the dead limbs in the sky, and said sternly:
"Pan Zhang's defeat must have been caused by the general in white! Guan Feng and the general in white are Guan Yu's backup in Jiangling! As long as we kill those two, Jiangling will no longer have anyone to rely on, and its morale will surely collapse. Before dawn, our army will be able to capture Jiangling! Pass on this order, kill Guan Feng and the general in white at all costs!"
The general who had advised him to leave had no choice but to clasp his fists in response, and then he and several other generals stepped down from the platform and led their troops to fight.
Lu Meng made up his mind.
The generals under his command were also loyal and devoted.
But some things cannot be accomplished with determination and courage alone.
Especially in this kind of cold weapon battlefield where the fighters fight each other face to face and decide life and death.
A slight difference in strength could mean the difference between life and death!
"kill!"
A general let out a sharp roar, leaped up without hesitation, and the sword in his hand drew a cold arc of light, slashing directly at Ouyang Feng who was riding a horse at full speed.
Facing this opponent whose strength was far inferior to Pan Zhang, Ouyang Feng didn't even raise his eyelids. He held the Moon Wolf Spear in one hand and swung it casually. With a bang, the general, his sword, and his armor were blown into pieces.
the other side.
Guan Feng, who was also facing a general who was ready to sacrifice his life, did not fight back but swung his sword with all his strength, as if both sides would suffer losses.
On the battlefield, especially during a desperate charge that could not be stopped or even slowed down, there was no time or space to display exquisite moves, and life and death often depended on the moment when two horses crossed. Many times, injuries were exchanged for lives, or even life was exchanged for life, in order to fight for a chance of victory.
Guan Feng, who had inherited the true art of fighting and swordsmanship from Guan Yu, had the power to break through enemy formations and kill countless people. His momentum had already accumulated to a very subtle limit.
At this moment, with the spirit of risking her life, she swung the sword with all her strength. With her energy, spirit and mind highly concentrated, she seemed to have broken through some barrier. She felt that the speed of the enemy's sword, which was swung at a desperate attack, suddenly slowed down a bit, while her own sword seemed to be even faster!
So Guan Feng squeezed out some of her potential again in a flash, and the speed of the sword increased sharply. With a whoosh, before the enemy's long sword hit her waist and ribs, she cut the enemy general's chest with one blow!
Under the impact of the violent sword energy, the enemy's body part above the chest left the body and flew high into the air. The sword that was desperately aimed at her naturally deviated, leaving only a dazzling spark on her shoulder armor.
Guan Feng killed the enemy almost without any injury, and did not even slow down his horse's speed, still charging at full speed. However, he had exerted a lot of energy just now, and he almost failed to raise his true energy. His pretty face turned pale, his body swayed, and he almost fell off his horse.
Fortunately, Ouyang Feng reached out in time, held her hand, and passed a stream of vital energy to help Guan Feng recover quickly.
Guan Feng steadied herself, her complexion quickly recovered, and she smiled sweetly at Ouyang Feng, "Thank you, Brother Ouyang!"
Ouyang Feng nodded slightly and said briefly: "Congratulations."
Of course he could see that Guan Feng's previous strike with the sword was a breakthrough before the battle, and his realm and strength had reached a higher level.
Previously, Guan Feng's martial arts skills were only comparable to those of the martial arts master Bi Xuan, but due to his lack of skills and experience, if he fought a life-and-death battle with Bi Xuan, his chances of winning would be no more than 30%. But now, the odds of winning are about to be reversed.
During the decisive battle, there was not much time for communication. Guan Feng just smiled at Ouyang Feng and threw himself into the bloody battle.
As one military formation after another was broken through and one general after another was killed, the hundred cavalry led by Ouyang Feng and Guan Feng were less than a hundred steps away from the general's platform.
On the brightly lit platform with blazing torches, the figure and appearance of Lu Meng, dressed in green and dressed like a scholar, were clearly visible.
"Lü Meng, your time of death has come!"
Guan Feng shouted and rode his horse into the formation of Lu Meng's personal guards who were protecting the general's platform.
When Lu Meng saw that his personal soldiers, all of whom were elite warriors who had fought in many battles, were unable to stop Guan Feng and the general in white, a drunken blush appeared on his sickly face.
He took a deep breath, and his body, which had become thin due to a serious illness, gradually swelled up. The sick look on his face quickly disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a burly man as strong as a mountain with a gaze as sharp as lightning.
"I, Lu Meng, was born a general!"
He tore off his scholar's blue shirt, revealing his muscular body that looked like cast iron and bronze. He grabbed a large iron spear stuck upside down behind him with his backhand and laughed loudly:
"Want to take my head? That's not that easy!"
boom!
Violent true energy burst out, and streaks of aura like thunder and lightning burst out from Lu Meng's body. Then he leaped up into the air, nearly ten feet in the air, arched his body, held the spear with both hands, raised the iron spear high behind him, and used the spear as a knife to chop down fiercely at Guan Feng on the ground.
