Hearing Huang Zhong's order, the soldiers did not dare to delay and quickly opened the city gates.
Huang Zhong stared closely behind Li Cunxiao, afraid that the Cao Army would ambush them from behind.
After all, Guan Yu and the others had broken through the encirclement and it was hard to say whether or not there would be pursuers behind them.
Li Cunxiao, on the other hand, smiled indifferently. Pulling Zhang He's reclining horse, he led the soldiers to enter the city quickly.
Huang Zhong's attention was not on Li Cunxiao and the others, but behind them.
Li Cunxiao's soldiers were all limping and their armor was covered in blood. The wear and tear on their armor was very obvious. It seemed that they had indeed gone through a bloody battle.
Just as Li Cunxiao and the rest of the soldiers were about to enter the city, Li Cunxiao laughed coldly and pulled out the Bi Yan Fang Tianzhi from his back. With a sweep of the sword, he killed the soldiers leading the way and shouted,
"Brothers, charge!"
The moment he said that, the limping black armored cavalry pulled out the long blades at their waists and slashed at the soldiers at the side.
These soldiers completely believed that the black armored cavalry were the Shu Army and did not put up their guard.
This time, the soldiers at the foot of the city walls were instantly killed.
"Damn it!"
Huang Zhong immediately heard what happened at the foot of the city walls and quickly raised his bow and walked down.
However, the black armored cavalry had already charged up the stairs and Huang Zhong's bow and arrows were limited in close combat.
In just an instant, the soldiers were completely defeated. Li Cunxiao and Zhang He had also arrived at the top of the city walls.
"Bastard, you dare to lie to me!"
Huang Zhong gritted his teeth and shouted. He put down the bow in his hand and raised the sword at his waist to attack Li Cunxiao.
Zhang He wanted to attack but was stopped by Li Cunxiao.
Li Cunxiao did not like to lie to others, even to the enemy.
After all, fighting fair and square was what Li Cunxiao, a general who had been on the battlefield for many years, advocated.
However, Li Cunxiao understood the current situation very well. If they were to fight like this, his mere thousand Black Armored Cavalry would be shot to death before they could even get close to the city gates.
Therefore, Li Cunxiao decided to fight Huang Zhong fair and square.
Huang Zhong's swordsmanship was not weak either. Coupled with his great strength, his arrow actually shattered the stone slab beneath Li Cunxiao's feet.
Li Cunxiao's movements were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he had dodged several of Huang Zhong's attacks.
"These swords were returned to you because I tricked you."
Li Cunxiao whispered.
Huang Zhong narrowed his eyes and said angrily,
"The words of a lowly person, and you still dare to use your sharp tongue here?"
"Come on, fight me fair and square!"
At this moment, in Huang Zhong's eyes, Li Cunxiao was a despicable person who only knew how to scheme. For him to be so arrogant and refuse to let others help him, he was bound to kill him.
Li Cunxiao sighed and turned around to dodge another attack from Huang Zhong.
Zhang He clenched his fists by the side, but he did not go forward to help.
This was a battle between two Great Generals.
If he went forward to help, it would be a breach of etiquette, and he would only be harming Li Cunxiao.
Moreover, Zhang He had personally witnessed Li Cunxiao's strength when he defeated Ma Chao in a single blow. He also believed in Li Cunxiao's strength.
"Ten swords."
"I've repaid my debt, General Han Sheng."
After dodging another attack, Li Cunxiao waved the Soaring Spear in his hand and whispered.
A powerful gust of wind blew toward Huang Zhong.
"This person's strength is truly great!"
Huang Zhong couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
In just a second, Li Cunxiao's Soaring Spear had already swept past Huang Zhong.
"Pa!"
The sound of a weapon shattering could be heard.
The fine iron sword in Huang Zhong's hand was shattered!
"Mister said that I won't take your life."
Li Cunxiao withdrew his weapon and said coldly.
Huang Zhong's eyes widened in shock.
Could this person be a courageous general like Lu Bu?
Such speed and strength, how could an ordinary military general possess it?
However, Huang Zhong quickly calmed himself down and shouted at the defenders who were still resisting with all their might.
"Brothers, follow me and push back the enemy!"
After all, the defenders outnumbered Li Cunxiao's one thousand men. Huang Zhong was confident that they could force these people out.
After all, Li Cunxiao alone could not take down the city.
"Do you think that you can still turn the situation around?"
Zhang He, who had been silent all this while, coldly laughed.
Huang Zhong focused his gaze.
The defenders, who outnumbered the black-armored cavalry by several times, were actually being pushed back!
"Impossible! Our city defense army was already prepared to defend, why … "
Slaughter!
This was a one-sided slaughter!
The ground was littered with the corpses of the city defense army, but not a single one of the black-armored cavalry had fallen.
The worst part was that there were seventeen or eighteen of them charging at the front.
Not only were the ten soldiers not at a disadvantage, they even killed several of them?!
Could it be that these people were all as strong as Li Cunxiao?!
Huang Zhong cried out in alarm. His hand suddenly lost all strength, and the broken sword hilt fell to the ground.
Following that, Huang Zhong pulled out a sword from his waist and pushed Zhang He aside.
Zhang He did not expect this and immediately sent people to chase after him.
However, even though Huang Zhong was old, he was extremely skilled. In an instant, he broke through the crowd and headed for the city gate.
As Huang Zhong walked, he ordered the city defense army behind him, "Don't fight!
"Don't fight! Abandon the city and leave through the other three gates!"
After saying that, Huang Zhong broke through the black-armored cavalry's encirclement, stole a horse, and left the city.
"Mister Li, I'll chase after him now!"
Zhang He was shocked and felt that this was all his fault.
If he was not careless, how could Huang Zhong, who was surrounded, escape?
However, Li Cunxiao waved his hand and said, "No need.
"There's no need for that. Just let these soldiers run."
"Mister said that it would be hard to capture Huang Hansheng alive. If we were caught by surprise, we would only die for no reason."
"These soldiers are Mister's elites. We can't sacrifice them for no reason."
Zhang Lin nodded his head in agreement.
Zhang He had seen how strong these soldiers were. They were the elites of the elites. Even the Ferocious Cavalry was not as strong as them.
Furthermore, if these city defense army wanted to run, it would be hard to stop them. After all, a thousand people could only gather at one gate. The other three gates were not guarded by anyone.
If there was a huge commotion in the city, it would be hard to pacify the civilians.
As a general of Cao Wei, Zhang He understood this logic.
At this moment, a roar came from below the city gate.
"You little general, do you dare to tell me your name?"
Huang Zhong gritted his teeth and stared at Li Cunxiao as he roared.
These city defense army were not the Shu Army. They were the personal soldiers that Huang Zhong had personally trained.
With so many casualties, Huang Zhong's heart was bleeding.
"I will never change my name."
Li Cunxiao said calmly, "That's right.
