Can I get to the other side?
Chapter 250 Yan Liang: That old man, come out and fight me in single combat!
After Yuan Xi fled back in embarrassment, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, the thief Yuan refuses to surrender, let's attack the city directly!"
At this time, he felt extremely annoyed.
If he hadn't run fast just now, he would have been shot to death by a bow and arrow. Yuan Shao, an old man, could actually kill his own son!
What a beast!
"Um."
Liu Xie nodded slightly when he heard this, and immediately ordered Lu Bu and Zhang Liao: "Send orders to the three armies to prepare to attack the city!"
Yuan Shao's refusal to surrender was completely within his expectation.
He sent Yuan Xi over to shout a message just to undermine the morale of the soldiers defending the city. It was definitely not that easy to capture a city.
"promise!"
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao took the order. Just as they were about to order the deployment of troops to attack the city, the east gate of Lecheng County suddenly opened.
I saw Yan Liang riding out with a small group of cavalry.
Seeing this scene, the eyes of all the generals lit up!
They looked at each other.
They all saw the burning fighting spirit burning in their eyes.
As generals, they know very well what it means to send military generals out to defend the city during the current battle - this is to fight generals!
It would be fine if he were just a regular fighter, but this battle is crucial, and the Emperor is also on the battlefield in person. This is a rare opportunity to show off in front of His Majesty!
"Let me, the general, kill him!"
Lu Bu was very excited and was the first to stand up. He was about to rush over to fight Yan Liang with Fang Tian's painted halberd, but was immediately stopped by Gao Shun.
Gao Shun said sternly: "The general is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, how can he take action easily? It would be a loss of status. It is better to let the last general go ahead to fight against the enemy general!"
"No, no, not General Gao!"
Zhang He said to Gao Shun with a serious and sincere face: "Yan Liang is a general under Yuan Shao and has a great reputation. General Gao may not be able to defeat him."
"I know him quite well. It is my duty to face Yan Liang!"
Zhang He's tone was full of righteousness, but the meaning behind his words was the same - little brother, you can't control it.
Let me do it!
Just as the two were arguing, Zhao Yun knelt down on one knee directly to Liu Xie, with red eyes and said: "Your Majesty, Marquis Zhonglie died at the hands of Yan Liang, and this enemy must be avenged!"
"Please let me fight Yan Liang. If I can't kill him, I am willing to come to see you with my head raised!"
He wanted to fight Yan Liang not for merit.
But he wants revenge!
Gongsun Zan was killed by Yan Liang. As the former Baima Yiyi, Zhao Yun always wanted to kill Yan Liang and avenge his former master!
Liu Xie also thought it would be more appropriate to send Zhao Yun. Just when he was about to agree, he heard an old voice.
"Generals, can you let me fight?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the person speaking was a veteran with gray beard and hair.
It was Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong said with a sad face: "Every general has made contributions, but I have served your majesty for a long time, and I have received your majesty's grace but have not made any merit. I feel ashamed in my heart!"
"Besides, I still have a son who is seriously ill and has not yet recovered. I need to accumulate more military merit and give him some money to marry a wife."
"Well done, generals. Let this old man take the credit."
Huang Zhong's words were very pitiful.
Even Zhao Yun, who was eager for revenge, showed a bit of hesitation when he heard this, hesitating whether to give up this opportunity.
Zhang Liao also spoke for Huang Zhong: "It's just Yan Liang. Generals, don't take this credit. Give it to General Huang."
After all, Huang Zhong is his subordinate, and he is also aware of the difficult situation at home.
He was over fifty years old and his son was ill again. It was a rare opportunity to perform in front of the emperor, so he definitely wanted to compete for it.
This is a great contribution from the generals in front of the battle!
"Can he beat Yan Liang?"
Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Huang Zhong, and said rudely: "The battle between generals is related to the morale of both sides. This matter is not a trivial matter."
Even in his opinion, Yan Liang was just a bidder, but that didn't mean that Yan Liang could beat any cat or dog that appeared from anywhere.
Although he didn't know that an old man as old as Huang Zhong would appear under the emperor's command, he didn't think Huang Zhong would be Yan Liang's opponent.
After all, one was in the prime of life, and the other was half-buried.
Huang Zhong was not angry at being looked down upon by Lu Bu, and said with full force: "Don't worry, Mr. Wen, although this old man is not talented, he still has some martial arts skills. Killing a Yanliang will not be a problem."
His words were full of confidence.
Zhang Liao also smiled and said: "General, General Huang is not an ordinary person, but don't underestimate him."
"He may not be the general's opponent at the moment, but if you are the same age, he can not only defeat the general, but he can also fight equally. It will be difficult to determine the winner within two hundred rounds."
Zhang Liao's words shocked everyone.
Lu Bu is recognized as the most powerful general in the world, and no one can match him in terms of military force. How could this humble old man be able to fight on a par with Lu Bu when he was young?
"The thief Zhang Liao is bragging!"
Lu Bu snorted coldly when he heard this, and was extremely disdainful of Zhang Liao's words. He was thinking about finding a time to relax his muscles and bones.
After being away from him for so long, Lu Fengxian, this guy has forgotten his martial arts, and even an unknown soldier who appears out of nowhere dares to say that he can be compared with him.
On the side, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Cui Yan and other counselors accompanying the army looked strange when they saw the generals vying for action.
The famous general Yan Liang.
Yuan Shao's trusted general.
But now he was regarded as a credit and was fought over.
He is still alive!
Not only them, Liu Xie was also secretly happy at this time. Is this the feeling of having so many powerful generals under his command?
It was so damn cool!
The key is that although all the generals under his command are capable of killing Yan Liang in battle, at least none of them is weaker than Yan Liang.
"It's a pity that most of Yuan Shao's generals have died, and the credit is not enough to be distributed. Otherwise, we can take turns to fight and let everyone get the credit."
Liu Xie sighed secretly in his heart.
Just when the generals were arguing about fighting Yan Liang.
Yan Liang had already arrived in front of the battle.
He saw a group of people talking about it, as if they were vying for a fight, and Zhao Yun even knelt down to the emperor, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.
"We must not let Lu Bu and Zhao Yun take action!"
Yan Liang knew how terrible these two monsters were. He would never be able to beat them alone, so he had to pick an opponent as soon as possible.
His eyes looked at the generals around Liu Xie one by one, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Taishi Ci.
Finally, he fell on Huang Zhong.
Compared with the young or middle-aged generals around him, Huang Zhong, who was over fifty years old, was particularly eye-catching.
"This old man is still on the battlefield at such an old age?"
Yan Liang was a little confused, but at the same time he couldn't help thinking, "This time I must kill the general in front of the battle to boost morale."
"I am not sure of winning against other people, but I can definitely beat this old man easily. In this case... let him be unlucky."
"Choose him!"
Although Yan Liang knew that it was a bit embarrassing to challenge an old man, this battle was too important and related to the morale of the whole army, so it was better to play it safe.
After making up his mind, Yan Liang raised his spear and pointed at Huang Zhong and said proudly: "That old man! The one with the bow on his back!"
"Yes! Stop looking, I'm talking about you!"
"Why are you not at home taking care of your grandson at such an old age, running to the battlefield? Come out and fight me to the death!"
Yan Liang's voice stopped the generals' quarrel.
They all looked at Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong was also stunned. He obviously didn't expect Yan Liang to challenge him. After reacting, he was very surprised and smiled to the generals with a bright face: "Then generals, I will be back soon!"
After that, he raised his sword and rode away from the battle.
Although the generals were not very happy, they had no choice. After all, Yan Liang had challenged them by name, and they couldn't rush to stand out.
They could only watch Huang Zhong enviously as he went to fight.
Behind Yan Liang, Qu Yi was leading a group of cavalrymen to support him. Seeing that Yan Liang had actually picked Huang Zhong from among the enemy generals, he could not help but change his face.
"Why did Gong Ji pick this old man!"
Qu Yi was very anxious. He had fought with Huang Zhong in the battle of Yecheng before, and he could not even survive twenty moves from Huang Zhong!
This old man's bravery is definitely not inferior to Zhao Yun!
Yan Liang could not be Huang Zhong's opponent!
Although he was extremely anxious, Yan Liang had already said the challenge, and Huang Zhong had already come out to fight, so there was no time to change it.
So he had to order the cavalrymen around him: "Prepare the bows and arrows. If General Yan Liang is defeated and retreats later, shoot arrows immediately to stop the enemy generals from chasing!"
The cavalrymen nodded in response.
On the wall of Lecheng County.
The defending soldiers saw that Yan Liang actually challenged an old man, and they began to whisper to each other, with a tone of contempt.
"That old man looks over fifty, right? Why did General Yan Liang pick such an opponent?"
"It seems that General Yan is also timid. He dares not fight against fierce generals like Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, and can only pick weak ones to bully."
"But the old general is quite courageous. At such an old age, he dares to fight directly against General Yan's challenge."
"I think so too."
The soldiers guarding the city were talking about it.
"This idiot!"
Yuan Shao was furious, and the discussion of the soldiers around him made him so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
He asked Yan Liang to pick a weak opponent, but he didn't say to pick such a weak one!
What would happen if an old man over fifty was killed?
It would not improve morale at all!
But at this point, even if he was angry, it was useless. He could only ignore these discussions and focus on the battle outside the city.
At this time, Yan Liang and Huang Zhong had already started a confrontation.
"Die!"
Huang Zhong held a long sword in his hand and killed Yan Liang.
Since the emperor was watching the battle from behind, he did not hold back at all. His moves were fierce and full of murderous intent, and he went straight to Yan Liang's vitals!
Yan Liang raised his spear to block Huang Zhong's attack. The powerful force from the weapon made his hands numb, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
"How can this old man be so strong!"
Huang Zhong's martial arts far exceeded his imagination.
He just blocked it casually, but who knew that Huang Zhong's sword almost made his spear fall out of his hand!
What a terrifying power!
Yan Liang vaguely realized that he seemed to have picked a great opponent. He didn't dare to neglect it anymore. He put away all his contempt and fought Huang Zhong with all his strength!
The two of them fought back and forth, with swords and guns flashing.
In an instant, they exchanged more than a dozen moves!
Yan Liang was able to fight with him at the beginning, but later he was a little tired, and finally he was completely at a disadvantage and could only barely resist!
After the 20th round, Yan Liang's hands had cracked, and his arms were experiencing severe pain, and he could hardly hold the gun!
Huang Zhong's strength far exceeded his imagination. This old man was basically pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, and his strength was no less than that of Zhao Yun!
"No, I can't retreat!"
Yan Liang knew that he was no match for Huang Zhong, but now, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue fighting Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong fought more and more fiercely. He saw an opportunity and slashed diagonally from bottom to top with his long knife, heading towards Yan Liang's head!
If this sword hits, Yan Liang will definitely die!
"Gong Ji!!"
Yuan Shao cried out sadly, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he took a few steps back, not daring to look at it at all.
Yan Liang is his only remaining trusted general. If Yan Liang dies, he will have no other useful general except Qu Yi!
But after waiting for a moment, he didn't hear any exclamations from the soldiers around him, so he dared to open his eyes and look outside the city again.
I saw that Yan Liang was still alive, but his hair was disheveled, and his helmet had fallen off at some point. He was still struggling with Huang Zhong at this time.
Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he saw this. He didn't care about his morale. He anxiously shouted to Qu Yi who was holding the battle outside the city: "Qu Yi! Go quickly to help Yan Liang!"
If there is no external help, Yan Liang will die under Huang Zhong's sword sooner or later!
"promise!"
Qu Yi had already planned to take action. After hearing the order, he did not hesitate at all. He picked up his gun and rode his horse to join the battlefield, and faced Huang Zhong together with Yan Liang.
"Why are you here! Get out of here!"
"This is my fight!"
Yan Liang's mouth was bleeding, and he gritted his teeth and cursed.
It was embarrassing enough for him to challenge an old man, but now it was two against one. Even if he won, there would be no shame at all!
Qu Yi said: "You can't defeat him! Defeat is better than death. Let's defeat him together and retreat directly to the city!"
Hearing that Qu Yi didn't say to kill Huang Zhong, but said to evacuate after repelling him, Yan Liang was shocked and realized that Qu Yi might know the old man's strength.
So he said no more and stepped forward with his gun drawn.
In front of the Han army formation.
When Zhao Yun saw this familiar scene, he snorted coldly: "The generals on Yuan Shao's side are really shameless, it's two against one again!"
"Your Majesty, the last general has requested to go into battle and rush to the aid of General Huang!"
Liu Xie shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Old General Huang seems to be able to handle it with ease. If we really can't defeat him, it won't be too late for you, Zilong, to go and help."
When Huang Zhong needs to make a name for himself, what better opportunity is there than to step on the heads of Yan Liang and Qu Yi?
Now that he was fighting against Qu Yi and Yan Liang at the same time, he still didn't appear to be invincible. Even a layman like him could see that, so he chose to stand still.
If Huang Zhong could kill one and repel the other like Zhao Yun did last time, or even behead both of them, it would undoubtedly be a huge boost to morale.
At this moment, on the battlefield.
Huang Zhong faced the joint attack of Qu Yi and Yan Liang. Not only was he not afraid at all, but he became more courageous as he fought. One against two, he never fell behind and even beat the two of them!
Full of momentum!
The soldiers on both sides were also staring at the three people fighting on the battlefield, their minds completely absorbed by the battle because it was so exciting.
Huang Zhong is so brave that it’s unbelievable!
Qu Yi also felt the pressure increasing, and finally gave up the idea of repelling Huang Zhong, gritted his teeth and said: "Gong Ji, let's retreat!"
While talking, he fought and retreated.
Withdraw to the rear city.
Yan Liang also knew that he would really die here if he didn't leave, so after hearing this, he decisively chose to retreat with Qu Yi.
"Where to escape!"
Huang Zhong glared at this, how could he be willing to let the credit of killing the general in front of the formation slip away? After roaring, he rode his horse and chased after the two of them.
But at this time, the cavalry holding down the formation took action.
They all bent their bows and set up arrows to shoot out a wave of arrows!
"Cowardless rat!"
Huang Zhong cursed loudly, but had to avoid it.
With amazing equestrian skills, he half-dismounted his horse and hid in the horse's belly to avoid the wave of arrows. Then he got back on the horse, but by this time he was completely angered by these guys.
"I am the only one who shoots people, no one shoots me!"
Huang Zhong picked up his bow and arrow and pointed it at the soldiers. He spread his arms lightly and fired a beautiful round. Seven or eight feather arrows flew out, knocking all the soldiers off their horses!
All arrows hit!
After dealing with these miscellaneous soldiers, before he could continue to shoot arrows at Yan Liang and Qu Yi, Yuan Shao ordered the defenders on the wall to shoot at him again to prevent him from pursuing.
As a last resort, Huang Zhong had no choice but to retreat, because if he dared to pursue him again, he would be shot into a hedgehog.
"Damn it! Two cowards!"
Huang Zhong's heart was full of anger, and unwilling to return without success, he raised his bow and arrow and aimed it at the flag fluttering on the wall of Lecheng County.
Then an arrow shot out!
The arrow flew like a meteor, piercing the sky, and in full view of everyone, it shot down the flag and nailed it to the pillar of the city gate tower!
The whole place was in an uproar!
Everyone was shocked by this miraculous arrow, and a burst of cheers broke out in the Han army camp!
"color--!!!"
After shooting such a shocking arrow, Huang Zhongcai let out a little anger, snorted coldly, then turned around and returned to the military formation.
Arriving in front of Liu Xie, Huang Zhong dismounted and knelt on the ground, buried his head deeply, and said in a serious tone: "The last general failed to kill the enemy before the battle, please punish him!"
Whether it was because of Qu Yi's help that Yan Liang escaped, he failed to kill the general, which was a disappointment to the emperor!
"Please stand up, old general."
Liu Xie did not mean to punish Huang Zhong, and said with a smile: "The enemy army was outnumbered, and it was not the old general's fault."
"General, you can fight two enemies alone and repel them, and even shoot down the enemy's flag with one arrow. It can be said that you are invincible. Not only is he innocent, but he has also made great contributions."
"Do you think so?"
Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Zhao Yun and even Lu Bu nodded when they heard it. At this time, they looked at Huang Zhong with admiration.
Already over half a century old, he can still fight two enemies alone, chase two enemy generals, and finally shoot down Yuan Shao's flag from such a long distance!
Such strength is amazing!
"He is very strong."
Even Lu Bu put away his contempt for Huang Zhong. He no longer thinks that Zhang Liao's words are exaggerated to Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong still has such martial power at this age. If he were the same age, he could fight him on equal terms, and it would be difficult to tell who would win in a short time.
Of course, he still believed that he could win if the battle lasted for a long time.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Huang Zhong's face was full of regret. The credit of killing the general in front of the battle slipped away.
After thanking the emperor, he stood up and returned to the battle.
Wherever he passed, the generals made way for him.
This was a recognition of his strength.
Liu Xie retracted his gaze, looked up at Lecheng County, and ordered coldly: "Order the three armies--"
"Prepare to attack the city!"
The battle was over, and they had already taken all the advantages they could, so there was nothing fancy next.
The whole army attacked Lecheng County!
If it was taken down, Jizhou would be recovered, and the north would be pacified!
