Chapter 69 Huang Yuan is in danger!
Early on the next morning, Huang Yuan counted three thousand soldiers and horses in his headquarters, took the siege equipment, and personally led the attack on the west gate of Qiongdu City.
However, this Qiongdu city is solid and well-defended, far beyond Huang Yuan's imagination.
During the Han and Wei dynasties, technology was not developed enough and there was a lack of heavy firepower equipment that could effectively destroy city walls. For example, trebuchets were too bulky and were very troublesome to assemble and transport. They could be used on the plains, but they could not be brought into the mountains of Nanzhong.
.
Therefore, it is extremely difficult to attack a city by force. Only a few tough men such as Le Jin, Gao Shun, and Sun Jian have the expertise in this area.
Although Huang Yuan can be considered a second-rate warrior, he is still far behind the above mentioned ones.
He's in a lot of trouble!
Huang Yuan's reputation was well known to everyone in Qiongdu City. After learning that it was Huang Yuan who came to attack the city in person, the Southern Barbarian soldiers guarding the city surprisingly shared the same hatred of the enemy and were extremely ruthless in their attacks.
Now he shoots arrows, sometimes rocks fall, and sometimes he pours golden liquid. The city gate is firmly blocked and cannot be broken open at all.
After a long attack, Huang Yuan saw nearly a hundred casualties among his soldiers, but still could not find any breakthrough, let alone conquer the city first.
He knew that there was no hope of breaking the city today, and if he continued to fight, he would only lose more people, so he had no choice but to sigh and order the entire army to retreat.
Zhou Mo, who was supervising the battle from a distance, was relieved to see that Huang Yuan's army did not fight hard and chose to retreat rationally.
Immediately.
Zhou Mo's heart suddenly rose to his throat again.
I saw that Huang Yuan's army might be a little timid or underestimated the enemy. They retreated too quickly, without any plan, and their formation was in chaos. If the enemy had laid an ambush in advance and went out to pursue the enemy at this time, they would be defeated!
Zhang Yi, who was watching the battle next to him, also saw the problem. He put down his telescope and shouted: "No!"
Ma Su still didn't understand what happened, so he hurriedly asked: "Why is Bo Qi so surprised?"
Zhang Ni said: "Prefect Huang is in danger!"
Zhou Mo said: "Bo Qi, hurry up and meet us!"
Then he hurriedly pulled out the dagger from his boot and handed it to Zhang Ni: "This dagger can cut iron like clay. Bo Qi will take it for emergencies."
Zhang Ni took the dagger and without having time to thank him, he immediately mounted his horse and galloped towards the Langzhong camp in front of the two armies, which was responsible for holding down the formation.
Zhou Mo hurriedly picked up the telescope and continued observing.
As expected, after seeing the retreat of Huang Yuan's tribe, the Qiongdu city gate suddenly opened, and a cavalry force of more than 300 people rushed out from the city gate, with their spears drawn, and their horses galloping straight towards Huang Yuan's tribe.

"It's over!" Zhou Mo thought.
He did not expect that the Qiongdu family was quite wealthy and could actually afford cavalry. Although the number was small, at this moment, it was like a sharp knife piercing the heart of Huang Yuanjun, with amazing power!
"I was careless this time."
Observing carefully, the leading general was very tall and eye-catching. Zhou Mo immediately recognized this person as the giant guard beside Gao Ding back then. The guy who almost cut off his own head with a halberd could not help but feel a shiver in his heart.
"No wonder, these cavalry are commanded by this person, they must be the elite of Haoding's account back then."
Behind the cavalry were densely packed infantry.
Once Huang Yuan's army is overtaken and entangled by the cavalry, and the infantry follows up and strangles them, the consequences will be disastrous!
On the front line, the Langzhong Battalion responsible for holding down the formation saw that something was wrong and immediately moved forward with guns and shields, trying to connect with Huang Yuan's army.
While Zhang Ni was galloping on his horse, he saw that the Langzhong camp had already set out, and felt a little relieved. Even without his personal command, this well-trained team knew what they should do at the moment.
However, how can a human run as fast as a horse?
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and this little time difference is enough to be fatal.
Seeing the barbarian cavalry charge approaching and the reinforcements still two hundred meters away, Huang Yuan knew that he had made a mistake, but it was too late to regret it.
He urgently ordered all the soldiers in the army to spread out as much as possible. When the formation was in chaos and the morale of the army was shattered, this was the last thing he could do to minimize the losses of this wave of cavalry charge.
But as a result, everyone is panicking and just trying to protect themselves. Morale has dropped to the bottom, and it will be difficult to have combat effectiveness in a short time.
For the rest, we can only resign ourselves to fate and hope that reinforcements can come in time.
As the elephant king galloped, he squinted his eyes and concentrated on searching for targets in the crowd.
Charged and pursued him, the elephant king was like a wolf and a flock of sheep. In an instant, he hacked three people to death and trampled one person to death.
But looking at the expression on his face, it seemed that killing these people was done casually, and his attention was not on them at all.
Turning the horse's head, he continued to look for his target.
Soon, he saw a general wearing scale armor and white tassels from a distance.
It's Huang Yuan!
Even if he turns into ashes, he can still remember this person's appearance.
The elephant king's eyes were about to burst, and his face became ferocious and terrifying. He roared, summoned several elite riders around him, clamped the horse's belly fiercely, and headed straight for Huang Yuan.
Huang Yuan, take your life!
Huang Yuan looked around, seeing chaos in front of him. Screams were heard one after another, the horses' hooves raised dust, and the air was filled with the smell of dust, blood and sweat.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from far away, and he keenly felt that danger was coming, so he turned around and ran wildly.
How could the Elephant King let him go? He jumped on his horse, quickly closed the distance, swung his halberd, and struck Huang Yuan on the shoulder.
Huang Yuan rolled on the ground and barely avoided the attack.
But just as he turned around, the Elephant King's pursuit came again, and he saw a bloody halberd falling from the sky and heading straight in front of him.
Huang Yuanxin said: "I will die here today."
So I closed my eyes.
"Qiang!"
A crisp metal collision sounded in Huang Yuan's ears, almost deafening him.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a spear right in his face, which could barely hold up the Elephant King's halberd. The blood on the halberd smeared all over his face and mouth, and the smell was unpleasant.
The men came with horses and guns and fought with the elephant king.
Huang Yuan looked up and saw that it was Zhang Yi!
Zhang Ni galloped all the way from the Han army's camp and has already caught up with him!
In terms of strength, Zhang Yi is not the opponent of King Xiang. But King Xiang is not willing to get too entangled with Zhang Yi. His goal is Huang Yuan.
Seeing Huang Yuan stand up, he was about to run away again, but not far away, an orderly array of gun and shield soldiers was coming quickly.
Knowing that time was running out, the Elephant King roared, exerted all his strength, and struck out with a powerful and heavy blow. Zhang Ni could not dodge, so he had to fight hard. The man could barely hold on, but the horse could not resist it.
Kneel down.
After the Elephant King succeeded, he immediately turned his horse's head and headed straight for Huang Yuan.
The two looked at each other, and Huang Yuan felt that death was approaching again!
Zhang Yi's horse was injured, and it was obvious that he could not come to rescue him again. However, his short legs continued to stagger, and the Elephant King's big horse jumped a few steps, and it was approaching.
The Elephant King raised his halberd again and aimed at Huang Yuan's neck.
But at this critical moment, the Elephant King's horse suddenly neighed and jumped high, knocking the Elephant King off his horse.
Huang Yuan's heart was up and down. He gasped for air with a question mark on his face, not knowing what happened.
