The more than three thousand spearmen of the Wei army were domineering and fierce, their spears shining with a cold light under the firelight.
"Pfft pfft" The spear poked at each Shu soldier, easily piercing the body, and then suddenly retracted, and each Wei soldier fell to the ground.
The casualties of the Wei army made Huang Xu feel even more sad.
He kept waving his sword, trying to find a way out.
"Crack, click, click, click."
The sharp blade passed by, and spears were cut off by the long knife in Huang Xu's hand.
In terms of martial arts, even if Huang Xu encountered twenty or thirty Wei soldiers, he was not afraid and was confident of killing them all.
But he faced not stragglers but spearmen as a group.
These spearmen formed a square formation.
Even if Huang Xu cut off a few spears and killed a few soldiers, it was only a drop in the bucket and had no effect.
When one died, new soldiers immediately came to replace him, his spears were cut off, and new spears poked out.
Faced with such a situation, Huang Xu couldn't let go at all.
What's more, Huang Xu is fighting alone.
If Gan Ning is beside him and Zhou Tai helps out, the three of them can form a triangle formation to protect each other and lead troops to charge.
But a single tree cannot make a forest, and Huang Xu alone cannot influence the Wei army's spearmen, and it has no effect.
"puff" A spear thrust out from the air and suddenly hit the horse under Huang Xu's crotch.
"Xi Yu Yu" The war horse screamed and instinctively threw out its hooves, trying to fight back the person who stabbed him.
However, two more spears came next, piercing the horse's neck.
The spear was drawn out, and blood spurted out from the war horse's neck.
The war horse ran wildly, throwing Huang Xu off the horse.
The war horses rushed towards the three thousand spearmen, and with a loud bang, the war horses hit the Wei soldiers.
At this moment, some confusion was caused to the Wei soldiers, but the war horse was also stabbed to death.
Huang Xu fell off his horse and failed to organize an effective charge.
However, he quickly stood up and continued to fight.
Huang Xu has strong martial arts skills and superb sword skills, but in the end it was of no use and he couldn't find a way out.
He retreated with his soldiers, but a raging heat wave came from behind.
The hot breath was like being in a furnace, very uncomfortable.
Huang Xu looked around and saw that there were still gaps on the left and right sides.
There should be a chance to evacuate, so he immediately prepared to give orders to leave from both sides.
However, he also thought that Cao Ren must have an ambush waiting for him to take the bait.
Breaking out from the left and right sides of the camp may be more dangerous.
The only way to get out of the predicament is to hold on and wait for the remaining soldiers to come to the rescue.
Huang Xu rolled his eyes and shouted loudly: "Brothers, we are the vanguard sent by Military Advisor Pang.
Military Advisor Pang is leading the army behind and will arrive soon.
Hold on and keep your spirits up.
Reinforcements will be coming soon.
Will arrive."
In fact, what Huang Xu just said is not true.
He said such words in order to stabilize the morale of the army.
Although the soldiers in the army were deceived, as long as they can stabilize the morale of the soldiers and wait until the army arrives, they can do it.
With Huang Xu's words, the panicked soldiers in the army rarely calmed down.
These soldiers' fearful hearts have become much calmer, and they no longer feel helpless and isolated.
Seeing that the morale of the army was slightly stabilized, Huang Xu shouted again: "We must hold on until the army arrives.
By then, it will be the end of the Wei army.
Immediately form a circular formation and use it to meet the enemy."

At the critical moment, Huang Xu quickly stabilized the morale of the army and organized an effective resistance.
According to Huang Xu's arrangement, the soldiers of the Shu army attacked the Wei army.
Although there were heavy casualties on the battlefield, at least they were not left to be slaughtered by the Wei army like just now.
The lethality of the three thousand spearmen was greatly reduced, and Huang Xu led his soldiers to resist.
These Shu troops fought desperately, holding back the pace of the spearmen.
The situation on the battlefield became stalemate.
Tao Mang stood next to Cao Ren and said, "Grand Governor, that Huangkou kid actually cheered up and didn't lead his army to escape.
What should I do?"
Cao Ren glanced at Huang Xu's position, with a look of regret on his face.
His original plan was to attack the Shu army with rockets.
This was the first wave of attacks prepared by Cao Ren, with the purpose of causing chaos in the Shu army's position.
When the Shu army escaped from the military camp, they immediately sent out spearmen and brutally dispersed the Shu army, forcing the Shu army to flee.
No matter whether the Shu army escapes from the left or right side of the military camp, they will fall into the trap set by Cao Ren.
As long as Huang Xu led his army forward, he would be ambushed.
Unfortunately, Huang Xu stood firm, which made it difficult for Cao Ren.
Cao Fei said: "Grand Governor, quickly bring back the troops who laid the ambush, besiege Huang Xu, and deal with Huang Xu first."
Cao Ren nodded and said: "The only thing we can do now is to call back the ambushed soldiers and encircle and suppress Huang Xu.
However, time is tight.
Once the reinforcements led by Pang Tong arrive, it will be difficult for us to destroy Huang Xu.
We cannot miss the opportunity."
Tao Mang clasped his fists and said, "Grand Governor, I will send someone to deliver the message right now."
Cao Ren took a look at the situation on the battlefield.
The camp turned into a sea of fire and was completely engulfed in fire.
Heart-rending screams were still heard in the camp, many soldiers had been burnt, and there was even a smell of meat.
This smell passed into Cao Ren's nose, but it did not arouse Cao Ren's appetite.
Instead, it made Cao Ren feel sick and sad.
He was responsible for the deaths of the people, but he had no choice but to do so.
The Wei army was at a disadvantage and if he wanted to save the situation, he had no choice but to do whatever it took to defeat the Shu army.
Cao Ren ordered: "Order the archers to aim at the Shu army and shoot.
Do not use rockets to avoid accidentally injuring your own people."
The Shu army is in a group, not scattered, and can use bows and arrows to attack.
After giving the order, hundreds of archers took long bows, mounted their bows and arrows, aimed at the Shu army's position, and shot out leisurely.
Because we can't accidentally hurt our own people, this time we don't shoot randomly, but aim in the direction.
"咻咻" Bows and arrows were shot out one after another, crossing a parabola in the fiery red night sky and landing among the Shu soldiers.
This round of shooting killed more than three hundred soldiers.
After successive battles, more than half of the eight thousand soldiers around Huang Xu were killed or wounded, leaving only more than three thousand people.
Among the more than 4,000 people who died, more than 2,000 soldiers were killed by bows and arrows, hundreds died in the sea of fire, and more than 1,000 people died under spears, and the soldiers who died under spears were still is increasing.
The attack of spears and the shooting of bows and arrows made the newly stable Shu army's formation loose, making it difficult to gather strength, causing the Wei army's offensive to become stronger and stronger.
Huang Xu looked at the approaching Shu army and sighed in his heart.
This battle really resulted in heavy casualties.
All because he underestimated the enemy too much, otherwise the situation in front of him would not have occurred.
Faced with the suppression of archers and spearmen, Huang Xu was prepared to be killed.
Reinforcements did not come.
The resistance of his soldiers continued to decline and they could not last longer.
The smaller the number, the lower the resistance.

Cao Ren looked at the Shu soldiers whose formation collapsed again, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
After capturing Huang Xu and reporting the victory, Cao Cao should be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
When Cao Ren was happy, a scout quickly ran to Cao Fei and whispered a few words.
Cao Fei's face changed drastically, and he walked to Cao Ren and whispered: "Captain, the reinforcements of the Shu army are here. .
Zhang Liao and Pang Tong lead the army and approach the camp.
If we don't leave, we will definitely fight with the Shu army.
Please think twice."
"hateful" Cao Ren cursed secretly, with an angry look on his face.
After finally setting up a trap to lure Huang Xu into taking the bait, he was about to win.
But just when he was happy, Pang Tong and Zhang Liao appeared again, making Cao Ren very frustrated.
No matter how unhappy Cao Ren was, he still had to withdraw, but he did not dare to confront the Shu army head-on. s: The third update is completed;:
