Bingzhou Army's old men looked old, but they had an imposing manner the moment they started sprinting. Furthermore, after they shouted the slogan when the charge started, they had maintained silence since then. A silent and orderly charging team would undoubtedly give the opponent even more pressure. Before Guan Yu even gave the order, the archers guarding the back of the deer skin grabbed onto their longbows nervously.

Guan Yu frowned, he was suspicious of the situation. Gao Shun did not use Gongsun Xu's riders to charge forward, but used a light cavalry unit instead. No matter how he looked at it, it was a very strange thing. Could it be that Gao Shun had some tricks up his sleeves? But he quickly understood, with both sides' strength here, even if Gao Shun had any plans, was there anything he needed to be afraid of?

After ten breaths of time, Old Qiu had already brought the old servants fifty steps away, and the distance between them had already entered into the optimal range of the arrows. The Xuzhou Army's archers stared at the enemies in front of them, waiting for Guan Yu's order to attack. If it was Gongsun Xu's group of heavy cavalry, they would not be so active, but facing a group of unarmored walking soldier, with a group of thick and heavy deer skin blocking their way, the people who were charging over were worth it.

A few hundred archers quickly drew their bows as a large group of arrows flew towards Old Qiu and the rest.

Guan Yu nodded his head, the speed of these archers was not bad, the enemies who were charging over did not have any armor, so they would probably lose more than half their strength after the first wave of arrows. However, in the next moment, his eyes suddenly opened wide in shock. The enemies that were rushing towards him didn't make any movement to dodge the arrows, instead, they quickly formed a wedge shaped formation with five people running. The one in front brandished his weapon to fire at the arrows, while the others were dealing with the rest of the arrows. Their movements were quick and skilled, one look was enough to tell that this was not the first time they had done such a thing. Under the attacks of several hundred arrows, only forty to fifty people were actually shot to the ground, which was far less than Guan Yu had expected.

Guan Yu could not help but become angry from the embarrassment. It was one thing for the subordinate archers to be unable to deal with Gongsun Xu's cavalry, but they could not even deal with the group of walking soldier s. How could he have known that although Old Qiu and the rest were old, they were all true elites of a hundred battles. Everyone had walked the edge of life and death a few times, this level of arrows was not even worth mentioning to Old Qiu and the rest.

The Academy Officer who was leading the archers was both embarrassed and furious. He shouted at his subordinates to continue releasing arrows, and at the same time, he personally pulled out his bow and shot an arrow at Old Qiu who was at the very front. He used a three-stone strong bow, and was already an extremely powerful archer in the army. The arrow flew like a meteor, and arrived in front of Old Qiu in an instant.

Old Qiu had just brandished his blade and sent a few arrows flying, but he suddenly realised that the cold arrow had arrived in front of him, causing him to be unable to react in time. Just as he thought to himself, "My life is over," a strong force suddenly came from his back, causing him to involuntarily fall onto the ground.

Pfft! The arrow flew past Old Qiu's head and pierced into the heart of an old guard behind him. It turned out that this person, seeing that Old Qiu had no time to dodge, could instantly push himself to Old Qiu and use his own life to protect Old Qiu.

"Old Cow!" Old Qiu quickly reacted as he hugged his old brother who fell down and shouted in grief. His eyes immediately turned red.

Xuzhou Army who was releasing the arrow shook his head regretfully, he once again nocked his bow and aimed at Old Qiu who was sitting on the ground.

Old Qiu laid the warm corpse on the ground carefully and wiped the tears off the other party's eyes. He jumped up and continued to rush forward as fast as he could, gritting his teeth. Just then, Academy Officer's second arrow flew over. Old Qiu snorted, he did not use his blade to knock it, but instead quickly dodged to the side, just in time to avoid the incoming arrow. However, the helmet suddenly fell onto the ground, revealing his white hair.

The Academy Officer opened his mouth wide in shock. He had released two cold arrows in a row, but he did not kill an old man? Furthermore, the old man looked like a normal soldier from the Bingzhou Army, but he actually had such powerful skills. Could it be that this man was a capable general from the Bingzhou Army?

Forget about the shock on Academy Officer, even Guan Yu was surprised, but he was not too surprised. There were also many veterans that had survived through hundreds of battles. He couldn't help but have a thought. After he returned to the Xuzhou, he might as well try to use those experienced old men to persuade him. If he could capture that strong old man later on, he must think of a way to persuade him!

Old Qiu did not know that his performance had already garnered Guan Yu's attention, and at this moment, he was panting heavily, his chest was about to explode a few times. After all, he was already old. Fortunately, the group of deer skin was only a few steps away. As long as they could destroy a few deer skin and attract the enemy's attention, giving General Gao and the others a greater chance, they would die without regrets!

Old Qiu looked around, his old brothers were also breathing heavily, their sweat was pouring like rain, it seemed like they could not hold on for much longer. He raised his weapon high and laughed out loud, "Brothers, come with me and die! In his next life, he would still be a brother! Charge! "

"I will be a brother in the next life! Charge! " A few hundred old men laughed as they responded, mustering their remaining strength to follow the Old Qiu towards the deer skin.

At this time, the Xuzhou Army's archers shot out the third wave of rain of arrows. This time, the distance was even closer, and the Old Qiu and the rest did not have much strength to shoot the arrows, in an instant, over a hundred people were shot to death, and the people who rushed to the front of the deer skin were shot like hedgehogs.

The moment the arrow was about to reach his head, Old Qiu pounced forward and quickly fell in front of the deer skin. Immediately after, he heard the sharp sound of the arrow piercing through the air and the miserable cries one after another. As he looked back, he saw that Gao Shun and the others had already quickly changed their direction and were charging towards the corner of the city wall. He smiled faintly, but the anger from before was no longer in his heart, only a trace of pride and gratification. However, he couldn't die yet. He could buy as much time for his children as he could! He gasped for breath as he helped the deer skin stand up, doing his best to flip over, and rushed towards another deer skin that was close by.

"This is bad!" Guan Yu noticed the unusual movements of Gao Shun and the rest, and in the blink of an eye, he understood the other party's intentions. He could not help but exclaim in shock, the soldiers at the corner of the wall were much weaker, if he did not provide any quick reinforcements, Gongsun Xu's group of riders would be able to break through the defensive lines easily!

He could not care about regret as he shouted in a deep voice, "Help this general onto his horse!"

The guards by his side did not dare to disobey his orders, and quickly helped Guan Yu onto their horses.

Guan Yu clenched his teeth, endured the pain, and extended his hand out, "Give me your blade!"

One of the guards quickly carried his broadsword and respectfully passed it to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu reached out to grab the handle of the blade and pulled forcefully, not wanting to move the wound on his shoulder. Not only did he not lift the big blade, he almost fell off his horse. He tried his best to stabilize himself, and his left hand also grabbed the hilt of his saber. With a low growl, he finally lifted it onto the warhorse.

He looked around and shouted: "Leave 500 men to assist the archers, the rest will follow this general to intercept the enemy and break through the siege!" With that, he galloped towards the corner of the city wall.

At this time, there were more than four thousand elite soldiers behind Guan Yu. The five hundred to six hundred people at the front quickly walked forward, while the rest followed behind Guan Yu and rushed to the corner of the city wall.

At the beginning, they had also been keeping an eye on Old Qiu's group. However, when Gao Shun suddenly gave the order to turn around, the heavy cavalry, who they were extremely afraid of, immediately rushed towards them. They immediately turned pale with fright, and followed Guan Yu's orders to quickly move those deer skin s in front of them to protect themselves. It was a pity that both parties were only concerned with themselves, and only moved the deer skin to the front of their own team, and neglected the small area between the two parties.

Gao Shun and Hou Meng were at the very front, and seeing this, they were extremely happy, so they hastily gave the order to increase their speed.

In just a hundred breaths of time, Hou Meng and the five hundred heavy cavalry had reached the corner of the city wall.

"A bunch of idiots! "Idiot!" Guan Yu was still three or four hundred steps away from Gao Shun and the others, and when he saw this scene, he could not help but curse angrily. The two teams on the two sides of the corner only needed to cooperate a little, and they could use a large number of deer skin to block the enemy. After this battle, the two Academy Officer s will be executed!

Despite being enraged, Guan Yu did not lose his reason. Although Gao Shun and his group managed to avoid the corner of the city wall, they still had to face the many deer skin behind them. As long as they could get in front of them in time, the chances of stopping them were still extremely high! He looked ahead and quickly determined in his heart. He guessed that Gao Shun would most likely charge out from the southeast corner to join up with the group who had released the fire, and immediately give the order to charge towards the southeast direction.

Gao Shun's group easily broke through the most important barrier, but Old Qiu's side suffered heavy losses. They had already passed six deer skin, and only three remained between them and Xuzhou Army, but only thirty to forty people were left of the old soldiers who could still stand up. All of them were injured, and Old Qiu's right arm was also hit, so he could only hold his blade in his left hand.

Old Qiu turned around and looked at Gao Shun's group that was already far away and laughed loudly: "Brothers, our sons have successfully broken through the first barrier. Our mission is also complete, how about we drag them down with us before we die?"

Dozens of people laughed out loud, "That's exactly what we should do! Old Qiu, we will cover you. No matter what, you have to cut off a few of our dog heads.

"Haha, don't worry!" This king will definitely not let you down! Charge! "

"Charge!" Dozens of people quickly gathered around Old Qiu, surrounding him as he rushed to the next deer skin.

The archers of the Xuzhou Army had already stopped shooting. Although the enemies were old, their bravery was admirable. They wished that the enemies would die under the blade and spear in front of them instead of being killed by the arrows without any resistance.

"Continue shooting!" The Academy Officer did not care about his subordinate's feelings and coldly ordered another attack.

The archers obeyed helplessly and launched their final attack at Old Qiu. However, they did their best to avoid Old Qiu, as the old man who led the charge was an admirable opponent.

"Brothers, charge!" When Old Qiu passed the last two deer skin s, he shouted out loud, but did not hear any response. He turned his head and could not help but cry out loud. He wiped away his tears, gripped his weapon tightly with his left hand and rushed forward with his head lowered. He had to fulfill the promise he had made. At the very least, he had to chop off the head of an enemy!
