Chapter 730 Loyal and Righteous People
The Yan army's artillery fire fell mercilessly on the top of the city. Peng Yu roared and ran down the city to stop the Yan army.
He bent down and moved forward quickly to avoid the attack of the artillery shells, then went up the stairs and ran towards the city.
Coming down the stairs, Peng Yu looked at the chaotic group of people and shouted,
"Don't panic, don't run. The Central Army will hold the line, push it outside the city gate, and when the Yan army comes in, we will give them a head-on blow.
The local troops are at the rear, push forward, and don't mess up your formation!"
"Lao Zhang, where have you been? Come here quickly, bring your people with you!"
Just as Peng Yu was roaring, suddenly, there was a loud bang, and something crashed onto the city gate. Then the entire city gate shattered, and some soldiers inside were blown out by the powerful impact, with a lot of debris and wood on their bodies.
Looking at the miserable deaths of these people, the Sichuan troops were all terrified and couldn't believe it.
Then, they followed the city gate and saw the Yan army marching forward step by step in neat steps, and the artillery also moved forward.
After moving a distance, the artillery stopped again, reloaded the shells, and attacked the sky.
Whoosh whoosh!
One shell after another leaped over the city wall and finally landed among the crowd.
Explosions rang out one after another, and shells exploded in the dense crowd, blowing up countless limbs and broken arms.
The soldiers who had never seen artillery were all shocked.
"Run!"
I don't know who shouted first, but a frightened local soldier dropped his weapon and ran madly towards the south.
Once something happens, it will happen twice. It will affect the whole body. Many people were frightened. More and more people were shouting and running away, fleeing to the south.
"Don't run! Stop them! Don't run!"
Seeing the soldiers running away before even starting the battle, Peng Yu suddenly felt that his previous bold words had become a joke.
He wanted to lead his soldiers to fight to the death, to kill as many Yan troops as possible, and to reduce the resistance in the south.
But I didn't expect it to be so ridiculous.
He stopped yelling and just organized the central army to resist.
There were only 10,000 central troops, and only more than 3,000 of them were scattered across the three city gates.
These more than 3,000 people all gathered at the city gate.
The central army has received rigorous military training and its fighting spirit is much stronger than that of the local army.
Soon, the roaring Yan army outside rushed to the city gate.
These soldiers of the Weihu Army were the earliest legion established by Dayan. Each of them was fearless and charged forward madly.
They were like a sharp blade, attacking the Sichuan Army's formation with overwhelming force and tearing through their chest.
The front army only needs to break through the center and kill their way in. As long as they can tear open a gap and open a road, they can allow the people behind to come in and occupy more space.
Peng Yu gave loud orders.
"Stop them! Stop the Yan army! The first battalion goes forward, and the second and third battalions flank them from the left and right. Attack the enemy from three sides!"
However, just as they were about to fight back, a maroon horse rushed out from behind the Yan army, and on it sat a tall and strong man wearing armor, with a long beard and holding a huge Qinglong sword.
"Yanren Guan Shouchang is here! Prepare to die!"
Guan Shouchang moved forward courageously, and the Yan army soldiers in front of him all gave way to make way for their commander.
Guan Shouchang waved the big knife in his hand, chopping the Sichuan Army one by one. His mighty posture made the Sichuan Army terrified.
But Peng Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this shout.
This person was actually Guan Shouchang? The commander of the Yan army's western division actually personally led the charge?
This is a great opportunity!
Peng Yu was overjoyed and immediately jumped off the platform, mounted his horse, picked up his spear, and rushed forward.
As long as Guan Shouchang can be captured alive or killed, the battle can be won.
Even if they lose, it will greatly undermine the morale of the Yan people.
"Peng Yu, the Sichuan Army's commander, is here. Guan Shouchang will die!"
Guan Shouchang was also overjoyed when he saw the enemy commander coming on the field, and he immediately rushed forward.
The Sichuan Army soldiers in front made way, and the two soon met each other.
Peng Yu took the lead and stabbed Guan Shouchang in the chest with a spear.
Guan Shouchang snorted coldly, thinking that he was a traitor. Then he slashed down with his sword, splitting Peng Yu's spear in half. Then he used the force to lift the sword upwards and slashed towards Peng Yu's neck.
This scared Peng Yu greatly. He had never imagined that such a heavy knife, after being chopped down, would not have the inertia to continue moving downwards, but instead could strangely move upwards. This was completely inconsistent with the common sense of exerting force!
This person's strength and martial arts are superior to mine!
Peng Yu immediately leaned back and dodged the attack. He thought he was safe, and then his horse continued forward, passing Guan Shouchang's horse.
Peng Yu turned around and made a surprise attack, but in front of him, there was a flash of cold light, and the knife was already slashing towards him with a whistling sound.
Before he had time to think, he felt his left arm as if it had been hit by a mountain. He immediately fell off his horse and hit the ground heavily.
Peng Yu only felt that his left arm was completely disabled. Only then did he realize that it was not the blade that slashed at him, but the blade surface.
Guan Shouchang spared his life.
The surrounding Yan soldiers immediately put their spears to his neck and surrounded him.
Peng Yu struggled to stand up. He didn't know where the spear in his hand had fallen. He could only draw his sword with his right hand, breathing heavily and looking at the people around him with a fierce look in his eyes.
Seeing their commander surrounded, the surrounding Sichuan troops lost their fighting spirit and began to flee to the south.
The Sichuan troops shouted that they would not be killed if they surrendered.
Guan Shouchang, holding his sword, turned on his horse, looked down at Peng Yu with a disdainful look, and said proudly,
"All heroes in the world are terrified by my name, yet you dare to challenge me.
I respect your courage and loyalty, so I will spare your life.
As long as you are willing to submit to Dayan and lead your people to surrender, I can spare your life, let you recover from your injuries, and serve Dayan!"
Peng Yu held the sword, his mouth full of blood, and sneered,
"Dayan Guan Shouchang is worthy of his reputation. I never thought that I, Peng Yu, would be defeated in just one move. He's amazing! I admire him!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of pride appeared in Guan Shouchang's eyes.
However, Peng Yu continued,
"However, what I admire is your martial arts, not you as a person!
The Yan thieves are shameless. They entered our territory, invaded our land, and killed our compatriots. It is difficult to change their evil deeds!
You are all thieves who stole the country!
A group of barbarians want to destroy our Dachuan!
And wait for delusion!"
"you wanna die!"
Guan Shouchang looked at him, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
