Chapter 64: Night Raid on Tiger Trap Pass
Whoosh! A beautifully patterned halberd shot towards the crowd with a fierce cry, and for a moment, everyone felt the chill of death's summons.
Kill! The five top-notch martial generals faced the incoming spear, swung their weapons in unison, and exerted all their strength to counterattack against the incoming spear.
Clang! Zhao Yun, being at the forefront, bore the brunt of the force. After withstanding the enemy general's full-strength throw, his arms were numbed from the shock.
Bang! The painting halberd was blocked open, and the remaining prestige did not decrease, and it was inserted into the ground, making a heavy thud.
Kill! Autumn water's eyes turned red with rage, she drew out the Seven Star Treasure Knife from her waist and slashed it fiercely at the enemy general.
Clang! The Qinglong偃月刀 and the Zhangba Snake Spear crossed, blocking Autumn Water's one knife. For a moment, sparks flew as the weapons clashed. Autumn Water looked at the red-faced Guan Yu and the black-faced Zhang Fei in front of him, his heart filled with anger. His own carelessness had allowed the enemy to easily attack the city tower, how detestable!! A roar like that of an ancient giant beast echoed through the Tiger Trap Pass, and for a moment, all the soldiers were shocked, turning their heads to look at the source of the sound.
Hiss! On the battlefield where the slaughter was taking place, a collective gasp of air rose up. A general with a three-pronged purple-gold crown on his head and wearing a fiery red armor held this magnificent treasured sword in hand, his hair standing on end as he let out a mighty roar to the heavens. For a moment, only his blood-red eyes could be seen, and all the soldiers who met his gaze felt a chill run down their spines.
It's too terrifying! A pair of eyes without any emotion, only brutal and bloodthirsty, made the soldiers attacking the city feel a chill at that moment! This person is too familiar, with such armor and martial arts skills, there are only two people in the world, Xiliang Menghu and Bingzhou Fei Jiang, this person is Xiliang Menghu!
Clang! Clang! The sound of weapons colliding continued to ring out, sparks flying everywhere. The surrounding soldiers' eardrums were about to burst, and they didn't dare get too close.
Qiu Shui, with a bloodthirsty gaze, wielded the Seven-Star Blade and launched a fierce attack on Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and the other three. The Seven-Star Blade in Qiu Shui's hand only made horizontal slashes, chops, thrusts, and stabs, fully utilizing the advantages of his zombie physique, and for a time, he was evenly matched with the five opponents.
Hiss! Zhao Yun and the others only deeply understood the horror of this person at this time, every knife was full of strength, there was no subtlety in the knife method, only rough chopping, for a while, the five people's arms were slightly numb.
Autumn water understood that the five opponents were all top-notch fierce generals, especially since their physical strength was at its peak, without any damage. If they had charged forward directly, they would not have been able to gain an advantage. Fortunately, after rushing up to the city gate, they were all land battles, and among the five people, their weapons were all long-range cavalry battle equipment, so they could not exert their full strength in land battles.
Especially on this city wall, there were rolling logs and stones everywhere underground that the defenders used to place, which had a great impact on the martial arts of the five people.
And the Seven Star Blade in Qiū Shuǐ's hand was now being wielded to its limit, each slash aimed at his opponent, without any finesse whatsoever. If one slash wouldn't do it, then two, three, a hundred slashes would; he didn't believe their stamina could hold out forever.
Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan, who were watching the battle, saw their own generals on the city wall struggling desperately. Their faces turned pale with anxiety, and they ordered the soldiers beside them: "Hurry up and order all the generals to climb up the city tower to assist our great general with one arm's strength."
Kill! Autumn water shouted angrily, and the seven-star knife in his hand was still powerful against the five people who surrounded him.
Among the five, only Dian Wei could exert his martial arts skills, while the others could only exert 70-80% of their abilities. Dian Wei wielded a pair of sturdy short halberds, swinging them with dense and unbroken movements.
After seeing Dianwei's powerful momentum, Qiushui also felt a sense of urgency in his heart. If they continued to stalemate, the enemy troops would continue to pour in from this gap, and it would be troublesome later on.
As a silver spear flashed over, Autumn Water hastily dodged and used the Seven Star Blade in her hand to block Zhao Yun's incoming silver spear. At this moment, Autumn Water was fighting while her eyes were filled with ferocity, but her heart remained extremely calm, knowing that she couldn't drag it out any longer.
In an instant, Akua saw the weapons of the five fierce generals who were besieging him, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, with a hint of evil smile at the corner of his mouth.
The large knife in his hand launched an attack on Guan Yu, with one knife above and one below. Guan Yu's face was red with anger as he wielded the heavy knife to resist the fierce tiger's attack. Now almost all of the mad tiger's attacks were directed at me, what chance was there for counterattack?
Zhang Fei saw that Qiu Shui's attacks on himself and the others were all dodged, occasionally coming once, and all the offense was placed on Guan Yu. Suddenly he roared: "Don't hurt my second brother!" With a roar, Zhang Fei's attack became even more fierce.
Qiu Shui's face was cold and expressionless as he faced Zhang Fei and the others, his attacks devoid of any excessive emotion, but the knife in his hand showed no mercy.
His arms had gone numb, and he no longer felt anything, only mechanically parrying his opponent's attacks. At this moment, Guan Yu's eyes were filled with a sense of suffocation, wanting to vent but unable to do so, and could only continue to parry his opponent's attacks.
Kill! The five of them had been fighting for so long, yet they still couldn't take down their opponent. They were merely evenly matched with the enemy general, and for a moment, their faces flushed with shame and anger. They recalled how in the camp tent, when the lords asked, they boasted that "the three of us can fight to a draw, and the five of us can defeat them."
At this time, everyone shouted in unison and launched a fierce attack on Autumn Water. Autumn Water saw it, almost done, let out a loud roar, mobilized all his strength, and for a moment the force in his hand surged, launching a hard-hitting attack against the enemy general.
Clang! Clang! Clang! The sound of weapons colliding echoed through the air, sending sparks flying everywhere.
Kill! Autumn water saw that Guan Yu was already tired of responding, knew that his opportunity had come, and roared continuously, launching a fierce attack on Guan Yu.
Why target Guan Yu, haha, it's because among the five people, Guan Yu's weapon is the heaviest, so the physical strength consumed will be the fastest. As long as one person can't hold on, the pressure on oneself will be greatly reduced.
Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun and the other three were shocked in their hearts, and the strength of the opponent's hand not only did not weaken in the slightest, but actually continued to increase, truly terrifying. Although they had a deep understanding of this half a month ago, at this time, the five people couldn't help but be terrified by the opponent's physical strength, which was really too terrifying.
The battle had been going on for hundreds of rounds, and the Tiger Trap Pass was just led by Zhang Liao with another 40,000 soldiers who were full of energy and rushed to join the battle, and for a time, the Western Liang army had the upper hand.
Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan exchanged a serious glance, nodded, and gave orders to the soldiers beside him. Suddenly, another 100,000 elite soldiers rushed out of the camp and joined the battle to attack the city.
At this time, the battle between the two sides seemed to have returned to a distant point.
Qiu Shui's armor was now tattered and worn, the three-pronged purple gold crown on his head had been knocked off, and at this moment, with disheveled hair like a giant beast from the primordial chaos, he charged at the five people surrounding him.
The five besieged people were even more miserable than Qiushui, especially Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had bloodstains at the corners of their mouths and all over their bodies. Zhang Fei was also in a sorry state as he tried to resist Qiushui's attack on Guan Yu.
