Three Kingdoms

Such a cruel and fierce battle outside Jiangxia is something that even veterans of many battles have rarely experienced. Neither side expected that the other side could hold on until now. Every collision was so fierce, but no matter what, they could not defeat the opponent in front of them. repel!

An impact, in addition to the collision of blood and flesh, is also a game between the morale and will of the soldiers on both sides. Rows of soldiers have been beaten to the point where their guns have been broken, their swords have been broken, and their bodies are covered with scars.

After repeatedly withstanding the attacks of Jiangdong soldiers, even Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers could not help but appear a little tired. However, under Cao Ren's on-site dispatch, before each attack by Jiangdong soldiers, the soldiers in the front row were replaced. After coming down, the soldiers who were lucky enough to be injured but not dead were dragged along and sent to both sides for repairs.

Thanks to the military medical system implemented by the Hussars General, Cao Cao followed suit here, and there were more than a dozen military doctors walking among the wounded soldiers to treat and bandage them. Even if the soldiers who were replaced were not injured, many of them were so tired that they were leaning or lying down. Some even took off their damaged armor and twisted their close-fitting robes, which looked like It was like fishing it out of the water, and the sweat poured out immediately.

Cao Cao didn't expect that a tentative interception would turn out like this. Jiang Dongbing's strong and almost suicidal attack also made Cao Cao suspicious. He wondered whether he had fallen into Zhou Yu's trap, and whether there were any surrounding areas. Is there any back-up plan? Is it even possible that Jiangdong did not fall into the trap, but instead sent reinforcements to copy his own back-up plan?

Zhou Yu held the sword on his waist and stood under the flag with a cold face, in order to show his determination not to take a step back. He himself was almost on the front line, controlling the front line of troops. If not, the Jiangdong soldiers who were attacking repeatedly would have been scattered and collapsed in front of Cao Cao's hard formation!

Similarly, the retired soldiers and wounded were repaired not far from Zhou Yu's banner. Even if many of them were not injured, they were exhausted from the battle and lay on the ground unable to get up. Some soldiers among them were walking around holding water bags with added salt. When they saw soldiers who were sweating and exhausted, they helped them up and poured a few mouthfuls of salt water...

The guards beside Zhou Yu looked at the two armies fighting freely in front, and couldn't help but show a nervous look on their faces. Huang Gai stood next to Zhou Yu. Among the whole army, perhaps the expressions on his and Zhou Yu's faces showed no fear at all. They just looked coldly at the fierce battle going on not far away!

Zhou Yu brought obviously fewer soldiers than Cao Cao, but if he was afraid of avoiding direct confrontation from the beginning, he would inevitably be noticed by Cao Cao. Not only would it not reduce the confrontation, but it would stimulate Cao Cao's idea of ​​​​hunting whales, which is like a sign of weakness. The easier it is to attract bullying, and Zhou Yu's tough attitude made Cao Cao unable to help but think about it.

Zhou Yu raised his hand and pointed forward. As the war drums rumbled, another group of soldiers surged forward!

This group of replacements went to the front line to fight. They were Zhou Yu's most powerful private soldiers in Zhou Yu's army at the moment. These private soldiers belonged to Zhou Yu personally. They wore black iron heavy armor, long spears and large shields, and some even carried hammers. and battle axes, both in terms of destructive power and defensive power, are several times stronger than ordinary soldiers.

crashed into the ranks of Cao Cao's army, immediately causing great damage and pressure to Cao Cao's line. Although under the counterattack of Cao Cao's Qingzhou soldiers, some of Zhou Yu's heavy armor soldiers were injured, and their armors were stained red with blood, and some In the fierce confrontation, the silk ribbon of the armor was cut off by the opponent, and the iron pieces were shaking precariously on the lined leather armor, but the good defense ability and skillful combat skills still allowed him to They gradually gained the upper hand.

These heavily armored infantry held large shields and pushed forward with all their might against the rows of spears and spears piercing them. They covered the rest of the Jiangdong soldiers around them, and slowly approached with their swords waving, oppressing Cao Cao's line.

These heavy armored soldiers had astonishing defensive and destructive power. When they broke into Cao Jun's array, they swung their sharp machetes and saw Cao Jun soldiers' spear shafts broken and their long knives leaving their hands. Some of them were directly killed on the spot. Slashing and killing, the severed limbs and limbs were flying in the air!

Cao Jun was spitting out spears and spears, and thrust forward desperately. Some of the spears penetrated the armor of these heavy-armored soldiers, but they roared and smashed the barrels of the spears, and even He also waved the broken handle of the gun and continued to attack inside!

Under such a fierce attack by the heavily armored soldiers, Qu Chang, the commander of Cao's army on the front line, either with sweat or blood on his face, couldn't help shouting: "Come for reinforcements!" Reinforcements come quickly! I can't hold it any longer! 』

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Cao Ren immediately rushed forward with the guards around him!

Cao Ren's physique is stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, and such a strong body undoubtedly has an advantage in ground combat, blocking him like an iron wall.

Amidst the blood and flesh flying, Cao Ren stepped forward and slashed at the Jiangdong heavy armored soldier who had just killed one of Cao's soldiers with a knife in his pocket!

The heavy armored soldier tried to lift his shield and block, but with a loud noise, the large cowhide-covered shield broke under Cao Ren's huge strength. The heavy armored soldier could not bear the strength and fell to the sky!

Cao Ren used his strong waist strength to swing the long sword away and swept it out. He immediately cut down three or four Jiangdong soldiers, and immediately blocked the gap in the line. The guards following Cao Ren roared together, and rushed forward with swords, guns and shields raised high. Amidst the teeth-piercing sound of squeezing and friction, Cao Ren's originally shaky front was stabilized to some extent.

"Press back!" 』

Cao Ren raised his arms and shouted.

Following the gap opened by Cao Ren, seven or eight Cao Jun soldiers rushed forward. Zhou Yu's heavy armor soldiers on both sides were held back by Cao Ren's guards and could not make up for it for a while.

Even if you wear a lot of armor and hold a hard shield, you may not be able to defend against all harm. Once besieged, a heavy armored soldier will go from birth to death in just a few breaths, and Cao Ren used the Arrancar to , after finding a weak point to break through, he led his men to surround these heavily armored soldiers. Naturally, it was easier to kill them than in a head-on confrontation.

The heavy armored soldiers were able to deal with ordinary soldiers, but when facing Cao Ren, they still couldn't resist. They blocked Cao Ren's long sword slash, but they couldn't withstand Cao Ren's strength. Seeing Cao Ren raise the sword to chop again, they wanted to block it again. When he blocked it, his arms were so numb that he couldn't lift it up. The armor and the men were almost cut into two pieces, and blood rained out in mid-air!

Cao Ren was in the rain of blood. Just as he was about to move forward, he heard a scream coming from the sky. He immediately lowered his body to one side and saw a small ax whizzing towards him, hitting Cao Ren's body behind him. A Cao Jun soldier made a snap sound on his face. If it hadn't been for the buckle in his pocket, his whole head would have been split into two halves immediately!

Cao Ren turned around again and saw Huang Gai striding towards him, with another battle ax coming out of his hand!

"Well done! ” Cao Ren shouted, knocked away the axe, and immediately fought with Huang Gai.

Because Huang Gai joined with fresh troops, the entire front of Jiangdong soldiers became stable again.

The two sides were like meat grinders biting together. Despite their own injuries, they were also quickly and firmly swallowing each other's flesh, blood and life.

Cao Cao, who was standing behind, looked up at the sun. It was past noon and it was gradually falling towards the west.

With the war reaching such a stage, it is naturally impossible to say that the soldiers under his command are afraid of death and avoid fighting. However, no one is optimistic about the bloody front in front of them. Not even Cao Cao was optimistic at the beginning. Facing those Jiang Dongbing who repeatedly attacked and sacrificed their lives, as if they were not tired or afraid, and took life and death indifferently, Cao Jun's superiors and subordinates gradually began to pay more attention to Jiang Dongbing, and no longer thought that Jiang Dongbing was a It is an object that can be kneaded at will, just like it looks like a soft persimmon, but when you reach out and touch it, it turns out to be a hard rock!

"These soldiers from Jiangdong..." Cao Cao couldn't help but admired, "They can be called brave..."

The days in autumn are relatively shorter, but there is still some time from sunrise to sunset. The sun shone slantingly on the tips of the swords, spears and spears of the soldiers on both sides, and on their armor. Every bit of light reflected the cold light and the sparkle of death.

In fact, Cao Cao's main force was not all arranged on the front, but slightly focused on Xia Houyuan's side. The main purpose was to cut off Sun Quan when he opened the door and leave the city, and capture the city on the way. Therefore, even if Xia Houyuan was anxious to jump, he had to hold back temporarily under Cao Cao's order.

As a result, although the flags on Sun Quan's side were waving and people gathered together, they were quiet. I don't know what they had planned, and they didn't open the city gate to come out to respond. On the other hand, Zhou Yu was risking his own life and fighting with all his strength. It seemed that Sun Quan wouldn't open the door. It doesn't matter, anyway, the momentum of fighting to the last soldier made Cao Cao a little hesitant.

Should we concentrate all our efforts on dealing with Zhou Yu, or should we just remain in a stalemate?

If Xia Houyuan's troops are mobilized, defeating Zhou Yu will not be a big problem, but it will be inappropriate if Sun Quan takes the opportunity to rush out...

If this stalemate continues, the losses will be too great. The two sides are fighting in one place, and long-range weapons such as bows and arrows will not be of much help unless they cover and strike without any concern for accidental damage.

And these Jiangdong soldiers, whether they are ordinary soldiers or heavy armored soldiers, even if they temporarily retreat to rest, after taking a breather on the hill where their commander is, they will regroup and then go into battle again. It seems that for them, no matter this No matter how many times the battle has to be fought, as long as there is a breath left and the enemy has not collapsed, the fight can go on forever without an end!

Especially those Jiangdong heavy-armored soldiers, they were really fierce people. They fought with their lives and splashed blood and flesh all over the sky. Even Cao Cao in the rear was a little moved when he saw it, not to mention the ordinary Cao soldiers who faced these heavy-armored soldiers on the front line.

"This Zhou Gongjin..." Cao Cao frowned, "Do you really want to risk your life here?" 』

Almost the same sentence also sounded above Jiangxia City.

"Zhou Gongjin..." Sun Quan gritted his teeth, "What are you doing?" ! 』

Sun Quan did not expect Zhou Yu to come, and he did not order Jiangling's troops to return for reinforcements. Sun Quan asked Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu to continue attacking the generals, and then ordered Wu County in Jiangdong to directly send troops to attack Hefei, but Sun Quan believed that he could defend Jiangxia.

After all, Sun Quan knew something about besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao.

Although Cao Cao is fierce, if Zhang Zhao and others in Jiangdong are faster, they can take the opportunity to raid Hefei and then encircle Cao Cao!

When the time comes, you can capture Cao Cao with your own hands without any hesitation!

By that time, not only Jingzhou, but even Yuzhou and Jizhou will be within easy reach!

But what he didn't expect was that Zhou Yu gave up Jiangling's offensive and came to rescue Jiang Xia...

Sun Quan almost wanted to shout, saying that he was no longer a child and had been in battle after all. He didn't need you, Zhou Gongjin, to meddle in other people's business. I can hold my own here!

Sun Quan really thought he could do it, just like everything before. Therefore, Sun Quan did not have much favorable impression of Zhou Yu's actions.

He finally held off Cao Cao's army and created more time and opportunities for Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu. Then Zhou Yu didn't even inform him and ran back leaving Jiangling in a good situation?

Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, what are you doing?

Lu Su, who was beside Sun Quan, raised his head slightly and glanced at Sun Quan's color. In fact, everyone knows what Sun Quan is thinking. Because Sun Quan has two big mountains, Sun Jian and Sun Ce, pressing down on him, if Sun Quan wants to be tough among the Sun family veterans, he must have a battle that can be justified.

This attack on Jingzhou was a battle that Sun Quan had been planning for a long time and believed he had a great chance of winning. Of course, at the beginning of the battle, Jiangxia was successfully captured as planned by Sun Quan, so Sun Quan naturally thought that the next battle would be as smooth as the attack on Jiangxia.

The problem is that although Liu Biao of Jingzhou is old, his many years of heritage still exist, and he cannot be defeated in a short time. Moreover, Cao Cao and Fei Qian have stopped fighting and are now free. Therefore, the overall situation is naturally what Sun Quan had predicted before the war. It's completely different and we can't continue to follow the original plan regardless.

But Sun Quan refused to listen.

Even selectively ignoring some things...

Just like some children who are in the rebellious period, they feel that their parents are born to be against them and exist to bully and suppress themselves. They feel extremely disgusted with every word and every action of their parents. Impatient and absolutely disgusted, I even cursed my parents to be hit by a car when they went out, and then I could be alone and carefree, as if I would be on the road to happiness from then on.

These rebellious children think that their parents have no love for them, and their lives have no color. The whole sky is gray and dark. They feel sorry for themselves and ignore things they don't care about. They don't learn or grow. They give up on themselves and spend all their energy. All used against parents and teachers.

Of course, Sun Quan is not that extreme, but although he tries his best to suppress his rebellious mentality, it is inevitable that some will pop up sometimes.

If this battle fails, where will you put your face?

The head can be broken or bleeding, but the hairstyle, well, don’t mess up your face!

Therefore, even if Zhou Yu came, Sun Quan would not retreat lightly. Therefore, as soon as Zhou Yu came on the stage, he adopted a desperate posture, forcing both sides to use the most violent means to fight. This was all to make Sun Quan take a good look. look……

Lu Su sighed slightly in his heart.

My lord, if you look at it, even the most powerful soldiers under Gong Jin can't easily break through Cao Jun's defense line. Do you still think this battle can be fought? If Cao Jun soldiers are attacking like this, do you still insist that you can definitely defend Jiangxia? Cao Cao obviously had such powerful soldiers, but he never used all his strength to attack Jiangxia. Why? Could it be that, my lord, you really don’t want to think about it?

The fight was fierce, with the most elite and fierce warriors from both Zhou Yu and Cao Cao fighting each other risking their lives. Every moment, the fight was more intense than the previous ones. Everyone seems to be overdrawing their lives and blood for the next few years or even more than ten years, and will never retreat unless they die in battle.

Regardless of casualties, both sides tried desperately to rush into the opponent's array, open a gap, and then make the gap huge, throwing more people in, until the opponent's array in front of them was completely shattered!

The fallen soldiers from both sides were entangled. As long as they were still alive, they were crawling and struggling with each other. Pairs of feet, either wearing straw sandals or wearing combat boots, were twisting and trampling in the blood, mud and meat sauce. From time to time, there would be new ones. The remaining limbs, broken arms, flesh, flesh and internal organs fell down and were added to the pot of blood like a hodgepodge.

Zhou Yu stood behind the formation, watching the rows of soldiers moving forward and filling them in. Whenever he saw a gap in the formation, he filled it in there. After a brutal hand-to-hand fight, only half of the people who could retreat were often reduced to half, and the others were either turned into corpses or wounded, and were carried near his banner.

Most of these soldiers were his private soldiers. They were private soldiers that he had trained little by little with money, energy, and time since the time of Sun Jian. Every soldier fell, and Zhou Yu's There is a little more pain in my heart.

Near his banner, wounded soldiers were already densely packed, some were out of strength and some were injured. As long as the debilitated ones wake up, and the injured ones realize that they are not seriously injured, they often struggle to get up, and then after receiving a salute from Zhou Yu, they grit their teeth and continue to fight!

When the frontline soldiers, who were also scarred from fighting, saw them joining in, they didn't even have the energy to say a word of comfort to each other. At most, they just looked at each other and started fighting side by side!

The roars of the fierce battle between the two sides seemed to shake even the autumn sky, and they quickly tilted to the west to escape.

As dusk approached, the two sides became more and more fierce. After such a fierce fighting throughout the day, neither Cao Cao nor Zhou Yu could continue fighting at night, so both sides wanted to crush and eliminate their opponents before night fell!

"Lord!" "On the top of Jiangxia City, Lu Su couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly, "If we continue to fight, we will all be wiped out! Lord! 』

"Zhou Gongjin!" This is forcing someone! ” Sun Quan was not too stupid and couldn’t help shouting, “He is forcing Yu X!” 』
