They are dressed in black, with white veils, in this way to resist the wind and sand.
Although their sight was obstructed to a certain extent, it was much better than the Han army not being able to open their eyes.
Under the cover of the camel cavalry, those soldiers quickly broke through the city wall and entered the city!
However, they obviously underestimated the melee capabilities of the Han army.
The wind and sand inside the city is much better than outside the city!
Seeing that the enemy had broken into the city, Cao Ren resolutely abandoned the city wall and chose to fight in the streets!
……
Chapter 543 Bloody Battle to the End, Never Back Down
"Everyone pull down the city walls and fight the enemy in the streets!"
Cao Ren led the personal guards and rushed down from the city wall, forcibly dividing a group of enemies.
Holding a broadsword in his hand, he forced a small part into the alley and wiped them out!
at this time,
He can no longer take into account the overall situation, and can only fight in units of Tun, Shi, and even Wu.
The heroism of the Han army is fully reflected in the street fighting.
The desperate soldiers fought back,
At this time, there is no distinction between the direct line, the South Central Army, and the Zhuzhou Army.
They have only one title - Han Jun!
Different factions are forced together by the enemy, and they can also cooperate well in battle, with both offense and defense.
Only then did the Zhuzhou army realize that they themselves had changed subtly and were transforming into the current Han army.
"Kill all these bastards for me!"
A Zhuzhou army commander roared angrily in broken Chinese.
In the past few years, they have been training in Dahan. Although they have learned Chinese, they always have some accents.
of course,
The language of their own country is not banned either.
The big man is too big, even in the original fourteen states, the language is different in different places.Therefore, the languages of Zhuzhou, Xianbei, Qiang, and Tingzhou are all regarded as the dialects of the Han Dynasty.
Just like Yizhou dialect, Yangzhou dialect, and Liangzhou dialect.
At this time they use Chinese, which shows their determination!
They are very grateful for the combat skills they have learned in Dahan over the years.Even in the face of enemies that were several times, or even dozens of times larger than themselves, they did not flinch in the slightest.
Fierce battles broke out in every alley.
The splashed blood washed away the dust in the air!
The enemy never dreamed that they broke through the city wall easily, but encountered stubborn resistance inside the city.
The [-] vanguard troops led by Satherta launched seven attacks on the city, and the armament Cao Ren led the soldiers to fight bloody to force them back!
Cao Ren used the enemy's corpses to block up the damaged part of the city wall and the city gate!
Maybe Meng Huo and the five thousand soldiers were already in danger, but as the general, he had to stand firm until the last man fell!
Anxi general Satherta watched the soldiers being forced to retreat for the seventh time, feeling a little embarrassed.
But he also knew that it would be detrimental to his side to continue the stalemate.
So he found the Roman general Vedris,
"General Vederis, the heavy armored infantry of our army is not here, and cannot gain an advantage in a head-on confrontation with the Han. Please also send the strongest Roman army to defeat it for the sake of the Triple Alliance."
It has to be said that Satherta is a person who can bend and stretch.
He neither made himself lose face, but also gave the Romans enough face.
Vederis was very comfortable hearing this, and ordered his Roman infantry to replace the Parthian infantry.
Because of a new group of people, Cao Ren blocked the road with the corpses of Anxi people.
The Romans ignored the body of the Parthian, kicked it away with their feet, or threw it aside.
Even, use them as their own stepping stones, shields and so on.
Seeing their actions, Cao Ren knew that the enemy had changed again!
The new enemies are full of stamina, but they are already a little tired.
"The enemy is coming again, blow the horn and get the soldiers ready for battle!" Cao Ren propped his sword on the ground and stood up.
The previous broadsword had been chopped off, so he replaced it with a broadsword he picked up from nowhere.
In street fighting, his original weapon, the Yunyue Sword, was not as comfortable to use as the Huanxiu Broadsword.
"Archer, get ready!"
Seeing that the number of corpses at the gate of the city was decreasing, Cao Ren, who was guarding the front line, immediately clenched his sword and prepared to fight again.
As the last corpse was pushed down, the enemy held a shield and walked towards the city in neat steps.
obviously,
These Romans planned to use the shield array to implement squeeze tactics to continuously compress the living space of the Han army.
Cao Ren had rich combat experience, so he could see through their intentions at a glance, and he had already considered such a situation.
"Fire arrows!"
When the enemy came into range, Cao Ren gave an order.
Suddenly, arrows shot from all directions.
The Romans thought that the Han people were lying in ambush in the alleys and ignored the roofs!
Caught off guard, a large area was shot!
Cao Ren took the opportunity to lead the team to fight out, opening and closing the big sword in his hand, shuttling among the enemy army as if no one was in the middle of nowhere.
The Romans had never seen such a fierce man before, they were caught off guard and quickly retreated!
Cao Ren immediately ordered the soldiers to block the gate of the city again with the corpses of the Romans.
Weideris was not reconciled, and after a short rest, he reorganized a team to launch a second attack!
This time they were more careful,
With a team of a hundred people, the shields protected the surroundings very tightly, and the Han army's archers lost their effect in an instant.
and,
The Romans added javelins and archers, and the Han army could not get close at all.
Cao Ren organized his troops to charge several times, but suffered heavy losses.
As the Roman phalanx continued to advance, the range of activities of the Han army was squeezed bit by bit. Some were forced into the alley, and some were driven into the street. There were enemies in front and behind.
Although the Han army fought bravely, there were too many enemies.
Coupled with their physical strength advantage, the Han army was beaten and retreated steadily!
What's even worse, in order to compress the activity space of the Han army, the Romans began to burn houses!
The wind fuels the fire,
The fire quickly spread to the entire city!
The Han army, who used the cover of the house, was immediately put to a severe test!
"Back to the city wall!"
Seeing his soldiers continue to fall, Cao Ren led more than [-] people into the Roman army again. Using his body and blood, he forcibly tore a hole and disrupted the formation of the Romans.
Under the leadership of generals such as Yang Feng and Gong Du, the remaining soldiers retreated safely to the city wall.
And the thirty or so soldiers led by Cao Ren have all died!
It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of Roman soldiers is stronger than Anxi and Guishuang.
At this time, there were less than 3000 people left around Cao Ren.
He ordered the soldiers to hold the stairs and make a final struggle with the enemy.
Even so, he still did not choose to retreat!
He can't lose the face of the Cao family army, let alone the face of the Han soldiers!
Even if you die in battle, you must persist until the last moment!
There were more and more enemies. When the Parthians and Guishan people saw that Rome had occupied the city, they also sent soldiers into the city.
They did not attack the walls, because that would have cost too much.
You only need to guard the opening of the lower city wall to trap the Han army on it.
Because there was no food and water on the city wall, the Han army could not last for two days!
Just when the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms thought they had won the first battle, the soldiers they left outside the city were suddenly attacked.
Countless Han troops rushed out of the yellow sand!
……
Chapter 544 General Zilong Arrives
It turned out that at this critical moment, the reinforcements arranged by Guo Jia arrived.
It wasn't that Guo Jia waited for this time to send troops on purpose, but the weather was so bad that the reinforcements were walking in the desert much slower than expected.
As a result, they were one day later than expected!
Zhang Fei was the first to kill. He rode the jade chasing horse Liu Bian gave him, fearless of wind and sand.
