Chapter 741 Can’t Hold On
"ah!"
A Huanshou sword was knocked out. Cao Bing witnessed in horror that the Huanshou sword swept across his chest and directly cut his chest, and blood spurted out.
Ling Tong's teeth were clenching, and the long sword in his hand was raging, slashing left and right, which was unstoppable. In the blink of an eye, four or five Cao soldiers fell under his sword, opening up a bloody path.
Cao's army totaled more than a thousand people, and they immediately surrounded more than 500 Jiangdong soldiers. Jiangdong soldiers suddenly fell into decline.
However, Ling Tong's bravery and skill in fighting finally restored some morale for Jiangdong's soldiers. Jiangdong's soldiers gathered around Ling Tong to resist Cao's troops coming from all directions.
Young Master Ling Tong said he had killed more than ten people. The bright red blood flowed from the blade to the handle, and the touch between his fingers was wet and slippery. However, Ling Tong became more and more courageous as he fought, slashing left and right. None of Cao's soldiers could catch his three moves before being chopped down to the ground.
He raised his sword and pointed it at a Cao soldier in front of him, about to chop it out. However, he suddenly felt a murderous aura threatening him. He immediately retracted his sword and looked in the direction of the murderous aura.
when!
A young Cao Jun general suddenly came out with a long-handled sword in his hand. When the two swords collided, sparks flew and the sound of gold and iron was heard.
"Who is here? His martial arts skills are quite good!" Ling Tong praised and looked at General Cao opposite.
"Hmph, I am Army Commander Xiahou Shang, who are you?" Xiahou Shang snorted coldly.
Ling Tong's eyes lit up: "Xia Houshang, what is your relationship with Xia Houyuan? Could he be Xia Houyuan's son?"
Xia Houyuan is the commander-in-chief of Cao's army. If he can capture his son, he will be able to turn the tide of the war to a great extent, and he will be able to escape this time. Thinking of this, Ling Tong's eyes turned sharp as he looked at Xiahou Shang, and he tightly grasped the handle of the knife with his fingers, preparing to capture Xiahou Shang.
"Humph, that's my uncle, you haven't answered my question yet." Xia Houshang said coldly.
"Ling Tong, watch your move!"
He shouted loudly, his bent knees returned to their original positions, and his whole body was ejected forward. He leaped high into the air, held the Huanshou knife in both hands, and slashed down with all his strength.
Xiahou Shang was not afraid and raised his sword to resist. He struck the sword with a loud bang, and then the two of them started fighting. Ling Tong had the idea of capturing Xiahou Shang to force Xia Houyuan, so he attacked quickly and planned to capture Xiahou Shang quickly.
But Ling Tong frowned. He originally thought that his martial arts skills were rare among the younger generation of Jiangdong Army. Even his father was on par with him and it was difficult to find an opponent in the world. However, he never expected that Xia Houshang's martial arts skills were so extraordinary. Ling Tong could feel that his martial arts skills were faintly superior to Xiahou Shang's, but he could only suppress him at most. Not to mention killing Xiahou Shang, even defeating him was difficult.
It is much more difficult to capture an enemy general alive than to kill him.
With Xiahou Shang entangled Ling Tong, more and more Cao troops surrounded him. The number of Jiangdong soldiers' casualties increased, and there were screams all around, which inevitably interfered with his fighting spirit.
"ah!"
"Ling Sima, our brothers are covering you, you should retreat quickly and go back to avenge us!"
Ling Tong "actually" parried Xia Houshang's knife, and said angrily: "No, someone brought you out. If you want to go together, how can you live alone?"
Jiang Dongbing urged: "You should leave quickly! When you go back, regroup and avenge your brothers!"
"Yes, Ling Sima, you fell into Cao Jun's evil plan this time. You must learn from it when you return!"
An uncle from Jiangdong Army whose left arm was injured roared: "Brothers, cover Ling Sima and fight your way out!"
"Cover Ling Sima!"
The remaining two hundred or so Jiangdong soldiers roared angrily, gathered together, surrounded Ling Tong, and protected him as they charged out.
Xia Houshang shouted: "Ling Tong, you, a cowardly fellow, have given up, right? Where can you run?"
Ling Tong almost gritted his steel teeth when he heard this. He wanted to turn around and fight, but was stopped by the people around him.
"Ling Sima, a man who tolerates humiliation is the best course of action."
"Yes, the days are long."
Xia Houshang wanted to pursue, but was stopped by Du Bo, a determined-looking Jiangdong Army officer.
Xia Houshang didn't need to look at him and said coldly: "Go away, my target is Ling Tong."
"If you want to chase Ling Sima, you have to get through me first!" Dubbo said resolutely.
"Stubborn!"
Xiahou Shang snorted coldly, struggled with both arms, and suddenly slashed out with the long knife. Du Bo raised the knife to resist, but he didn't expect that Xiahou Shang's blade deflected and passed under his ribs, causing an immediate wound.
Uncle Dub groaned, knelt on one knee, and stabbed the knife into the ground, but still refused to let go.
"Get away!"
Xia Houshang slashed Jiangdongjun Dubo to death with another knife, and then took a few steps to catch up.
In order to cover Ling Tong, more than two hundred Jiangdong soldiers fought bloody battles with Cao Jun. Although they were determined to die, they were unable to defeat the four-handed army. Under Cao Jun's pursuit, more and more casualties occurred, and in the end the remaining soldiers were still alive. Less than a hundred people.
Seeing that the situation outside the city suddenly turned like this, Jiang Dongjun on the city tower was shocked. The gate lord asked Ling Cao for instructions: "Captain Ling, Ling Sima is about to come. Do you want to open the city gate?"
Ling Cao shook his head, while the sect leader was confused: "But, Ling Sima is your son, is it possible?"
"Put down a few ropes. Whether they can climb up or not depends on their luck." Ling Cao said quietly.
Whoosh whoosh, several ropes hung down from the tower, and Ling Tong and dozens of Jiangdong soldiers struggled to get rid of Cao Jun's offensive and rushed towards Wuxian County.
"Don't let them get away, chase them!"
Naturally, Xiahou Shang didn't want to let Ling Tong go, so he led Cao Jun in pursuit and held on to Jiangdong's army.
"There's a rope hanging down from the city wall, come on!"
Ling Tong sprinted forward with all his strength, rushed to the moat in one breath, and then jumped up suddenly with the help of inertia. He grabbed the rope with a snap, kicked his legs on the city wall, and intertwined his arms to climb up. Dozens of Jiangdong soldiers behind him jumped forward in a learned manner, but some caught the rope, and some The people fell into the moat.
Jiang Dongbing, who caught the rope, burst out with the desire to survive, and climbed up with all his strength, each one at a very fast speed. The Jiangdong soldiers who fell into the moat suffered misfortune. They were killed by Cao Jun who rushed over, and their bodies fell into the moat again.
Like an agile ape, Ling Tong rushed to the top of the city in a few seconds, suddenly stretched out his hand to hold the city head, and jumped in with all his strength.
The Cao army outside the city stared at them blankly, because they did not carry bows and arrows at all, so naturally they had nothing to do with Jiangdong soldiers.
"Fire the arrow!"
Swish, swish, arrows fell like rain. Cao's army suffered casualties and had to retreat.
