Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2640 Darkness at Dawn

"Whoosh", an arrow flew across the bridge and shot down a Sun Hao soldier who appeared at the bridge.

Sun Hao, who was on the other side of the bridge, cursed loudly.

He has been stuck at the bridge for more than half an hour, and he can't even get over it.

Sun Hao sat on the horse, brandishing his sword and shouted loudly: "Bring down the bridge for me!" The first one to rush over will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins! As long as you capture the inner palace, the money will be yours! Each person will be given another thousand gold! 』

The rebels immediately became restless.

What kind of generals are there are, of course, what kind of subordinates they have.

Another wave was organized, and the leading soldier gave a loud shout, and more than a hundred people, whose morale was aroused, swarmed forward.

The stone bridge is not wide and cannot be spread out even if there are many people.

The arrows whizzed out and shot several people to the ground.

Some of Sun Hao's soldiers on the other two sides began to tentatively jump off the canal and swim high and low to the opposite side.

Most of Jiangdong's soldiers were good at bows and arrows, and so were Zhou Tai's men.

In comparison, Sun Hao seemed a little unprepared. First he did not prepare enough shields, and then he did not adjust his strategy in time. He just knew how to rush in a wave, and then was repelled, and then charged again, until Sun Hao himself After arriving, there were slight changes.

Zhou Tai's face and body were covered in blood.

In front of him, the corpses of many Sun Hao soldiers lay scattered in various directions.

Maybe there are some green-skinned hooligans who take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Zhou Tai clenched the sword in his hand and shouted: "Spearmen come forward!" 』

With Sun Hao's encouragement, the rebels finally rushed across the bridge despite missing arrows.

"kill! 』

The spearmen roared in unison, raised their spears, and stabbed Sun Hao and several rebels at the front to death on the spot.

The rebels still charged under the inertia. The spearmen in front of Zhou Tai raised their hands and stretched out their spears from the shoulders of the front row. The dense spears kept expanding and contracting, bringing out a canopy of blood every time.

The disorganized rebels collided with Zhou Tai's array, and were unable to cross the defense line formed by the spearheads for a while. More and more corpses were piled up. Those in front wanted to retreat, but those behind blocked the bridge, forming a mass. A crowded and chaotic crowd.

Zhou Tai stood on the front line, and his thick armor gave him enough protection. Although he was still injured, he was still a terrifying and fierce killing machine. The sharp sword can easily cut off human life. Strange faces fell down with pain, turning into piles of corpses on the ground.

With everything in front of them finally empty, the remnants of Sun Hao's rebel army lost the morale to continue the attack and turned around and fled.

This wave of attacks was repelled by Zhou Tai again.

Sun Hao's soldiers, who were swimming and climbing in the river, realized that the troops on the bridge had been defeated. When Zhou Tai's archers started shooting at them, they all screamed strangely and ran away...

Time passes gradually.

The night is finally passing, and dawn is coming soon.

Cheng Pu rode his horse to the slope and took a look at the inner city to the north of Wu County. He felt relieved. As long as nothing happened to the inner city to the north of Wu County, the plan would be basically successful.

He led his troops along the way, leaving even the baggage behind.

Huang Gai Cheng Pu is the mainstay of the veterans.

Since Huang Gai was involved in this matter, how could Cheng Pu stand idly by?

Huang Gai stared at Zhu Zhi and others, and Cheng Pu came to deal with Sun Hao.

But for Cheng Pu, this was just like a farce.

Cheng Pu followed Sun Jian back then, and then until now, he has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years. In terms of combat capabilities, whether he is on water or land, whether he is leading infantry or cavalry, he is definitely not first-rate. But he must be the most balanced.

To put it simply, Cheng Pu is like tiger balm, apply it wherever you need it. With years of experience, Cheng Pu has no problem whether he is leading the forwards or handling the logistics.

It was precisely because of this that Cheng Pu felt more and more that what was going on was really a ridiculous farce.

It’s not just Sun Hao.

And Koto.

If possible, Cheng Puzhen would like to kill all these Jiangdong nobles in one go.

These children of the Jiangdong gentry are the biggest obstacle to the entire Sun family's great cause.

Collude with each other, control places, embezzle assets, hoard, deceive superiors and subordinates, and seek profit. Basically, apart from appearing to be the same person on the surface, there is no clue what is hidden under the glamorous appearance. .

The world is in chaos right now, Han!

In times of chaos, who doesn’t know that only by uniting as one can we have greater strength?

Are these children of the Jiangdong gentry clan all idiots who don’t even understand this truth?

No, they all know it, but they don’t do it.

Cheng Pu knew that Zhou Yu had faked his death, but not everyone among the Jiangdong gentry could guess it. But what did those people do when they heard the news that Zhou Yu was dead? We are still organizing cocktail parties, and we are especially looking for some highly skilled working women.

Declaring regret and sadness to the outside world.

Inside, there is laughter and singing.

Just like no matter how big the matter is, no matter how many people are killed or injured, it is not as important as the word Ding Ding.

If it were a more fashionable Ding Ding, it would be more important than the lives of many people.

In the hearts of these gentry children in Jiangdong, they themselves are the first priority, first as an individual, then as a family, then as Jiangdong, and finally as a big man...

This time, Sun Hao jumped out. To be honest, as long as anyone with the Jiangdong surname said hello, he could stop this clown. Just like when this guy wanted to cause trouble for the first time, Yu Fan came forward and said a few words, and Sun Hao got cold feet.

But now, why is there no one to stop it?

Cheng Pu laughed in his heart.

Do you really think that Jiangdong is the only one in this world? Just Koto?

Cheng Pu waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to advance.

"Give me the order to attack the bandits' main formation!" 』

Jiangdong is good at naval forces, but it also has some cavalry.

Cheng Pu led the cavalry, suddenly protruding from the night, rolling towards Wu Commandery. These cavalry are like treasures in Jiangdong!

These cavalry are well equipped and equipped with armor. As a private collection of Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and other veterans, they have always been an important means of fighting in front of the battle!

Now that they are all here, they have set up their formations, and the sky and the earth are rolling with murderous intent, filled with the thunderous sound of horse hooves, which immediately frightened Sun Hao's soldiers outside Wu Commandery. The war horses, the swords and armor are gleaming with cold light, and they are like the envoys of the underworld rushing towards me!

Cut off foreign aid, trigger civil strife, and then at the last moment, use the power of a lion to beat a rabbit to subdue the thieves!

Although Sun Hao's soldiers didn't know what was going on, when they saw this situation, they instinctively felt that something was wrong, and they did not have the courage to confront Cheng Pu's cavalry. They immediately rolled and crawled, thinking only of avoiding the sharp edge and escaping with their own lives in mind!

After Cheng Pu arrived at Wu Commandery, he did not immediately rush into Wu Commandery to rescue Sun Quan. Instead, he launched a fierce raid on Sun Hao's camp outside the city.

In Sun Hao's camp, the main force followed Sun Hao to Wujun City and attacked the inner city. Others who had a little bit of force could not restrain their restless thoughts and secretly went to Wujun City to rob. Those who stayed behind were all old people. Weak and forced civilian husband.

Cheng Pu led his men to attack, and without even missing a few arrows, he destroyed Sun Hao's camp.

The cleaning of the camp was still in progress. Many rebels and civilians were running around in the dark, and they were not completely under control for a while.

Outside the east gate of Wu Commandery, there are scattered used torches, broken strips of cloth, and some straw sandals, long spears, short spears, and even shields left behind for unknown reasons...

Faced with such a scene, Cheng Puzhen didn't know whether to laugh or sigh.

……(╬ ̄俣)=○……

The inner city of Wu County.

Originally, the inner city of Wujun was just an ordinary government office, but later the Sun family settled in Jiangdong and began major civil engineering works inside Wujun. Now it can be regarded as a city within a city, with the flavor of a large fort. .

Later, after Sun Ce handed over the power to Sun Quan, Sun Quan also wanted to do some business here in Wu County, so he continued more or less repairs and construction, building an inner city full of things.

In the inner city, there are places for leisure and places for soldiers and armor.

Among them, the guards and soldiers were all selected from the Sun family or loyal soldiers in the army. Ordinary people were not allowed to enter at all. Especially the inner palace in the inner city is under strict vigilance. All the rice, flour, meat and vegetables used every day are all taken by these Sun family's cronies and escorted in. Even the servants serving in the inner palace have to check their basics. If they are even slightly out of step, they are absolutely not allowed to enter.

Such strict screening work was not done just during this period of time. Since Sun Ce's death, screening has been carried out over and over again in order to be able to deal with possible situations like the current situation.

The simplest thing is that there were only a few dozen guards guarding the inner palace, but now they have become nearly a thousand personal guards!

It's just that these nearly a thousand people are quite a lot when gathered together, but they are scattered around the inner city, and there are not many people at various points.

Zhou Tai returned from hiding in disguise, and Sun Quan knew that Zhou Yu was pretending to be dead. Although it was one of Sun Quan's wishes to completely eliminate the hidden danger Sun Hao this time, Sun Hao was named Sun after all. This Zhou Yu... …

But even though Sun Quan was suspicious, he was helpless.

If you think about it deeply...

On the one hand, there were constant noises coming from the stone bridge, and on the other hand, there were the messy thoughts that came to mind from time to time. Sun Quan looked calm and composed on the surface, but in fact, his clothes were soaked with sweat.

However, no matter how long the wait is, it will come to an end.

I don't know how long it took, but Sun Quan finally heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves outside the inner city!

Cheng Pu came with his cavalry to break the attack. Sun Hao's originally somewhat restrained army of thousands of rebels suddenly became a mess, and those green-skinned rangers who sneaked in to join the chaos were also scurrying around like squirrels hiding from the light. He immediately hid himself in the shadows to avoid the oncoming swords, guns and horse hooves.

Sun Hao also had some war horses, but they were not many in number and were not an army. He did not have any special cavalry training. When he saw Cheng Pu approaching with murderous intent, he immediately forgot about any "great cause" or "grand plan". Regardless of what he shouted when he first took the oath and set off, or what he mentally built up for himself during the march, when he saw Cheng Pu's fierce look, Sun Hao suddenly only had the following thoughts in his mind: A thought.

Run!

When Cheng Pu saw Sun Hao's figure, he immediately shouted and led the cavalry straight to Sun Hao's place!

Sun Hao was so frightened that he beat his horse hastily, wishing that he could grow wings and fly away from the dangerous situation. However, the road was congested, and Sun Hao was not as good at riding as Cheng Pu. Seeing Cheng Pu getting closer and closer, Sun Hao was so anxious that his voice became sharp, as if someone had pinched his balls, "Here comes someone!" Someone is coming! Save me, save me!

Several guards following Sun Hao looked at each other, some lowered their heads and pretended not to hear at all, but some of the guards shouted loudly and turned to fight Cheng Pu...

Cheng Pu swung his horse and first knocked down the spear thrust by Sun Hao's guard from the left, losing his accuracy. Then he leveled his horse and charged towards the rider on the right. The horses and spears of both sides crossed each other. However, the horse's spear was longer and more flexible. Before the cavalryman on the right could reach Cheng Pu with his spear, Cheng Pu had already knocked the cavalryman on the right off his horse with one spear!

Sun Hao's eyes widened and he looked at everything in front of him in horror!

Then he saw Cheng Pu running towards him almost non-stop!

The blood on the horse's head was dripping, and it was getting closer and closer to Sun Hao.

When Sun Hao felt that he was finished, he saw Cheng Pu's contemptuous eyes, then slightly turned his horse, and knocked Sun Hao off his horse with one blow!

"Tie it up!" 』

……_(:з ∠)_……

Above the inner city of Wu Commandery, fire was blazing.

There were fires everywhere in the city, and the light and shadow shone wildly. Among these lights and shadows were mixed the cries of the people of Wu County.

No matter what the flag is, no matter what the slogan is, in every such restless rebellion, the first to suffer are always the people.

If we talk about holding on to the inner city and defeating the rebel army, victory is already decided.

But what I want is more than this?

Every fight. Every plan and every adventure is for Jiangdong's luck!

Sun Quan raised his head.

This is Jiangdong of the Sun family!

Even if he dies, he must protect this inheritance!

No matter who wants to covet this inheritance, let him die!

During these days, he had more or less insomnia, thinking about all kinds of things, and then he ran into the Sun Hao incident.

The battle in Wujun was of great significance to him. If he could survive it, it would mean that he could continue to stand firm.

After Cheng Pu arrived, he defeated Sun Hao's army with almost overwhelming force.

At this time, Wujun City became less noisy, and neither the south gate nor the north gate sent out emergency signals.

Looking to the east, the sky was slightly white, and Sun Quan let out a long breath.

The situation has been decided.

Not long after, Zhou Tai came back from his garrison, covered in blood, and took Sun Hao, who was tied up on all fours like a dolphin, to the inner city gate to return to his life.

Sun Quan was too lazy to say anything to Sun Hao, and even looked at him with disgust. They ordered Sun Hao to be imprisoned in the inner city prison first, under strict supervision by Sun's personal guards.

Zhou Tai came to Sun Quan, smelling of blood, reported the battle situation, and then said: "My lord...do you want to take this opportunity..."

Zhou Tai's words were full of murderous intent.

Although Zhou Tai defended the stone bridge this time, Zhou Tai still remembered the shame of being cheated by Hu Yu last time.

A pirate not only had sufficient sources of supplies, but he could also seize the opportunity and prepare a trap for Zhou Tai. If no one in Jiangdong secretly communicated with Hu Yu, could it be that all the checkpoints and passes belonged to Zhihu?

Although Zhou Tai doesn't know which family is behind it, but now, there may be a chance to ignore which family, isn't Sun Hao in his hands anyway?

Sun Quan frowned.

Zhou Tai whispered: "My lord, the city is in chaos now, why not..."

Sun Quan took a deep breath, was silent for a moment, and shook his head, "No." 』

Zhou Tai was a little confused. Because he felt that the Sun Hao incident had developed to this stage. It was obvious that the Jiangdong nobles were either passive or secretly instigating it. The best thing was to sit on the sidelines and watch. Taking this opportunity to deal with these guys would not be considered as wronging these "Jiangdong heroes". , "Expert from Wu County"!

Sun Quan said a little tiredly: "Unless we can kill them all in one go...otherwise, we still have to use these guys...this time, we have to kill some, but not now..."

Zhou Tai's mind was racing, and he seemed to have caught something from Sun Quan's words, but he never thought it through. After a moment, he gave up the idea of ​​thinking it through, and just said with admiration: "I obey the order." My lord is really far-sighted..."

Sun Quan smiled at Zhou Tai, "This time Youping fought hard and won, and he will be rewarded when his merits are judged!" In the future, if Youping is appointed to another place, he will also need to weigh a lot. Whether to kill and how to kill will all depend on the gains and losses, not on the momentary mood...Wujun, Jiangdong...it is related to the overall situation and must be considered comprehensively..."

Sun Quan sighed softly and looked at the gradually whitening sky in Wu County, "Otherwise, such a tragic price will be in vain..."

After the sky was completely bright, hundreds of boats came from the upper reaches of the river outside Wujun City to block the sun.

The soldiers who were on duty in Wujun also saw this scene on the city wall. Just when they were wondering, they saw the huge flag on the central building ship, which represented Zhou Yu's three-army commander-in-chief flag. There was a huge cheer involuntarily!

"Captain!" 』

"It's the governor's battle flag!" 』

"The governor is not dead, the governor is not dead!" 』

"Oh my goodness, see Kodong!" Governor! 』

These shouts and shouts gradually swept through the entire Wu County!

In the end, these chaotic cheers turned into two words...

"Captain!" 』

"Captain..."

People around Wujun, both above and below the city, soldiers and farmers, listened to such shouts, and then involuntarily joined in, cheering!

In the cabin of the central ship, Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu sitting on the bow, with a complicated expression in his eyes.
