Chapter 832: Sudden Change in the City
As soon as he finished speaking, they heard the sound of "swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...", and the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air reached their ears.

The two men hurriedly lay down and rolled quickly on the ground towards the edge of the shield formation.

Those sharp arrows shot into the sky and then fell towards the center area of ​​the shield formation. In a blink of an eye, the place where the two men had originally stood was densely packed with hundreds of arrows.

But before the two of them had time to rejoice, the shields behind them suddenly split open, and the sharp swords appeared again, chopping directly at them.

This scene was beyond their expectations. The two men had no time to dodge and were hit by the sword at the same time. Blood immediately gushed out of their wounds.

Immediately afterwards, a second wave of arrow rain appeared in the sky, and the circle of heavy shields were all separated. One after another, large swords shining with cold light kept stabbing out from them. There was danger everywhere in this encirclement, and there was almost no safe place.

Before long, both of them had multiple wounds on their bodies, and Dian Wei was shot by an arrow in the left leg. But despite this, he and Xu Chu neither cried out in pain nor begged for mercy.

At this moment, Gao Shun and several generals had already climbed up to the city wall. They stood on the high ground, watching this scene quietly.

Gao Shun's face was as gloomy as water, but the other generals were delighted.

"General Gao is really powerful. Once you showed up and set up the battle formation, it was difficult for these two men to display their bravery at all. Now they are just waiting to die."

"These two villains are so hateful. They killed so many of our soldiers. I will definitely skin them alive and tear their bones to vent my hatred!"

"That's right, skin it, remove its bones, and chop it into eight pieces!"

The generals all looked happy. The more miserable Dian Wei and Xu Chu became, the more relieved they felt.

But Gao Shun alone had a gloomy look on his face. It was unclear whether it was because these two brave generals were about to die just because of a misunderstanding, or because many of his own soldiers died in battle here.

"Ah...Brother Nori, how are you?"

"Heh... I'm not in any trouble. I was stabbed in the chest, but it was only a flesh wound. You got a knife on your back?"

"I'm not hurt anywhere. Let's... hey, be careful..."

Surrounded by heavy shields, it was like a rain of swords and spears, which were impossible to avoid or defend against. Although both of them were extremely brave, they were covered in wounds in a short while, with at least six or seven scars.

Even though they dodged in time and were not hit in fatal areas, the many wounds and the amount of blood they lost gradually made them lose their strength.

Gao Shun waved his hand, and as the messenger issued another military order, the heavy shield formation became more and more dispersed. Immediately afterwards, the sword soldiers and spear soldiers who had been hiding behind the heavy shield soldiers came in groups of three or five and killed towards the middle.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu were both exhausted and bleeding from multiple wounds. Due to excessive blood loss, both of them felt dizzy and even had difficulty lifting their weapons. How could they continue fighting?
Spears attacked the upper body of the two men, while broadswords were used to attack the lower body, in order to prevent the scene of chopping their feet with swords from happening again.

The spearmen and swordmen cooperated well with each other. Although there were only a few hundred of them, they were able to kill the two men so badly that they had no power to fight back and could only dodge and flee in a panic.

Seeing that these two powerful generals would soon die in the ice and snow, Gao Shun suddenly heard a burst of hurried horse hooves coming from the city behind him.

He and other generals turned their heads hurriedly to look, but what they saw shocked them greatly.

"How did they escape?" Two ragged, dishevelled men were seen riding horses and galloping towards the city gate. They were the brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan.

"Weren't they taken out of the prison, put into a prisoner car, and sent to Luoyang today to be tried? How could they escape?"

A general asked in shock and anger.

Behind the Xiahou brothers, a large number of soldiers were chasing them closely. However, the Xiahou brothers were great riders, so how could they catch up with them?
Xiahou Yuan looked up and saw Gao Shun and others: "Brother, look, Gao Shun is here."

Xiahou Dun was also delighted: "That's good. Our efforts have not been in vain."

"Yes, you and I could have waited until the prisoner van left the city before escaping, but now we are deliberately escaping from the city, isn't it to kill Gao Shun and avenge our previous humiliation? Now that my two brothers have joined forces, we will definitely succeed, go!"

The two men took the weapons they had just robbed, jumped directly from their horses' backs onto the stone steps of the city wall, and rushed up quickly.

The two had followed Cao Cao in raising an army more than ten years ago since the Taiping Rebellion was wreaking havoc throughout the world. They had been almost invincible in every battle and had rarely suffered defeat. However, this time they suffered a great defeat in Chenliu, and not only were their entire army nearly wiped out, but they were also captured by Gao Shun.

This great humiliation has made them work harder in prison over the past two months and constantly think of ways to avenge themselves.

Finally, they figured out the replacement and patrol patterns of the prison guards. And it happened that early this morning, Gao Shun ordered them to be loaded into a prison van and sent to Luoyang. So when the two of them just walked out of the prison and were about to get on the prison van, they kicked over the guards beside them, risking injuring their hands, and crashed into the blade of the big knife that fell to the ground, cut the rope, and fought all the way to this place, just to capture or kill Gao Shun and wash away their shame.

At this moment, Gao Shun was right in front of them, and around him were only a few ordinary generals and more than a dozen guards. This godsend opportunity made them even more delighted.

As soon as he saw the two of them rushing over, Gao Shun quickly guessed what had happened.

"General, please leave. I will stop them."

Several generals around him pushed Gao Shun behind them, raised their weapons, and stood in front of him.

The Xiahou brothers had red eyes and were about to charge when they caught a glimpse of the battle situation outside the city and were stunned.

"Huh? Who is attacking the city?" Xiahou Dun turned his head in confusion.

"They are not attacking the city, they are... there are a few people... no, two people, fighting with the Han Wuzu? My goodness, these two guys are really good at martial arts, I wonder where these brave warriors came from."

Xiahou Yuan looked from afar at the two generals Dian Wei and Xu Chu who were surrounded by hundreds of spearmen and swordmen, and felt both surprised and impressed.

Gao Shun took advantage of their amazement and stunned moment and ordered: "Charge over and capture them."

The generals received the order and immediately charged towards the Xiahou brothers.

"Be careful, second brother, and fight the enemy quickly." Xiahou Dun reminded him, shook his spear, and rushed out first.

Xiahou Yuan also immediately woke up and followed, fighting with those generals.
