Chapter 579
"Swoosh~swoosh~swoosh~"
"Uh uh uh"
"What?!"
"hiss"
A few sounds of strong arrows breaking through the air and the screams of the arrowheads, mixed with the suppressed exclamations of others, barely put a stop to Li Su's one-way scolding against Sun Ce.
But don't get me wrong. It's not that Li Su's scolding formation was shot, and it's even more impossible that Li Su himself was shot. Instead, on the Jiangling North Gate Tower, three crossbowmen who were known as the sharp shooting in the Wu army were shot and killed by Huang Zhong with a six-stone hard bow.
The three crossbowmen received Sun Ce's order and tried to snipe Li Su. If they really couldn't shoot, they would cover and threaten them and hit the generals beside him.
Unfortunately, their eyes were obviously not as sharp as Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong stood next to Li Su throughout the whole day, holding a bow with one hand and holding several feather arrows with the other hand, and he could take action at any time.
So when I saw that there was an enemy on the top of the city, I directly shot over and went there in seconds.
This scene is like a gunman duel in a western film. It's over as soon as it's already noon.
Li Su was very calm about all this and did not retreat immediately. He trusted the steel shield array in front of him and Huang Zhong's cover shooting. He was rare to be like a general once, and he took the opportunity to continue mocking the ending:
"Sun Ce, it seems that you have proved that you are furious and guilty and cowardly, and you don't even dare to listen. Jiangdong soldiers, do you still have to work hard for such people!"
It has to be said that Sun Ce's style of acting, which was shaken by the other party's scolding, actually wanted to solve the problem after he tried to shoot a cold arrow, actually further damaged his internal unity and morale, which was more or less contrary to the usual character of the Little Overlord.
If Sun Quan later did this kind of thing, it would be nothing, because Sun Quan had never established a character as a little overlord and did not show his courage. So whether Sun Quan admits a coward or does not respond to the battle, it doesn't matter.
When Zhou Yu saw that the situation was not right, he quickly stopped the arrows and hid behind the female wall wall, asking Wu Jun to curse the soldiers according to the lines he thought:
"Li Su, don't swear by the slander! We are the guardians on the city, so what if the soldiers are on guard? But your man shot the arrow first, and you actually bite it back, which is shameless!"
Not to mention, Zhou Yu's words of adaptability can really make things worse.
Because the Wu army snipers used crossbows, the crossbows could be used to keep aiming and not firing for a long time after they were able to open their strings. The crossbow players did not need to spend much effort to maintain this posture.
Huang Zhong used a bow, especially a hard bow with very strong pulling force, which would not be able to keep the bow from being shot, and the arm strength of the hand would be exhausted quickly
This is easy to understand for any player who has fought "Horse Riding and Killing": no matter how long the crossbow is swung, the sight will not disperse; if the bow is full and does not shoot for two or three seconds, the sight will disperse.
For the sake of Li Su's safety, Huang Zhong shot and killed the other party when the Wu army crossbowman slowly aimed. The other party's arrow was not yet out of the line. Why should Li Su condemn the Wu army's cowardice? If you really want the shield hand to block the three arrows, let's talk about it!
Obviously, Li Su is such a cowardly person, and he doesn't have to be petty for this little morale and character.
Li Su subconsciously coughed lightly to hide her emotions and continued to curse: "Zhou Yu, don't think you are better than Sun Ce's eloquence, so you come to the school to show off. No matter how clever you speak, you are just a cowardly and shameless person who is inferior to men."
Zhou Yu is obviously better than Sun Ce at maintaining morale and his righteousness in such a state where he cannot exaggerate his courage. He only heard him in the face of Li Su's aggressive generals and declared without being arrogant or impatient:
"Li Su, don't be arrogant. Bo Fu is disdainful to take advantage of you. Even if he defeats you with more troops than you, he will be defeated without any force.
There are many people in the north and many boats in the south, and each has its own strengths. This is a natural principle. In this case, the two armies should use their strengths when fighting, and each one should show their strengths.
If you have to fight fairly in the land war and let Zhao Yun retreat back to Xiangyang, you and I will each have 15,000 infantry troops and fight in a dashing battle.
Otherwise, if you want to attack the city, you will attack the city. If you want to fight with our army from Xiaze, we will accompany you. However, we will not use the same number of infantry to fight your infantry and cavalry in the field."
After Zhou Yu said this, the morale of the Wu army was really back. Everyone realized that the lord was not a coward, but the two armies had their own strengths. Li Su on the opposite side wanted to trick the lord into giving up his advantage and avoiding his strengths.
Li Su didn't want to get involved in this issue, but just pretended to be aggressive: "Okay! Since you Wu people only dare to fight against water and not land, I will accompany you to the end. When the warship arrives another day, I will fight with you again.
But I really didn't expect that there were such greedy and wise people in the world. Since you all know that you are incompetent and have several times more soldiers and dare not fight in the field, why did you have the courage to attack Nanjun in the past? It was a joke, and you were not afraid of being homeless."
Zhou Yu defended loudly: "Li Su, of course this is something that you, such as the profit-seeking villain who is tempted by the tendency, cannot understand. If you turn yourself away, you will not shrink. Even if you turn yourself away, you will not worry. If you turn yourself away, even if you turn you will shrink, you will go.
My lord entered Nanjun to mourn the people and save the scholars of Jingxiang from water and fire. You have to do something wrong and do tyranny by yourself, which has led to the agitated and look forward to the king's army. Wherever our army passes, we eat and drink. Within two days, the soldiers will not kill many counties and take all Nanjun. The people's hearts are as smooth as possible.
If you were not guilty, why would you enslave the people of Jingxiang with the northern soldiers and protect the tyranny of tyranny? If you insist on fighting in the field today, you can also let the northern soldiers retreat dozens of miles north of your tent, leaving only the newly surrendered Jingxiang soldiers under Liu Biao's tent. Our army will send an equal number of troops to fight you. You know that the soldiers under Liu Biao's command will be willing to harm the village for such a treacherous charity as you, you know."
Li Su frowned and thought to himself that Zhou Yu's political wisdom is still powerful. He didn't realize that he was not only strong in military affairs, but also had a very tricky vision of finding a name for Dayi.
Today's words are somewhat of the courageousness of Zhou Yu when he analyzed that "Cao Cao has committed several taboos in military strategists" in history, and he has grasped Li Su's weaknesses in his great prominence.
After his analysis, Sun Cejun became a warrior who could not do anything even if he could do it. He was to save the Jingzhou Shilin and liberate the people of Jingzhou and to fight for his own good.
Moreover, Zhou Yu's change of concepts about verbal war has led to Li Su having to take on the other party's challenge, otherwise his own righteousness and morale will also be backfired. Although these attributes are hidden, it is not easy to suffer any losses.
But most of the troops under Li Su were brought by the north, at least in Changsha County and other places, and have been with Liu Bei's camp for three or five years.
If the former Liu Biao was sent out, Li Su would have only two or three thousand people in total, and most of them remained in Dangyang County to defend the city, and did not follow him to the south today.
Fortunately, Li Su's eyes rolled rapidly and immediately kicked the ball back: "This is a good discussion, but our army did not lead Jingxiang troops south, so this battle is probably impossible today.
Gongjin, I think you are also a cheerful person. The Huang Zhengwei behind me is Liu Jingsheng's old subordinate. If you want to know whether the military and civilians of Jingzhou support us, you can open the door and send generals to fight with Huang Zhengwei. If you have no courage, you will say that those nonsense just now will be put to rest."
Zhou Yu didn't expect that Li Su would squeeze him like this, and always felt that it was inappropriate, so he subconsciously bargained: "Since he is a fighting general, a gentleman's battle, how can he use a crossbow and a hidden arrow to hurt people!"
Hearing Zhou Yu's run like this, Li Su had not spoken yet, Huang Zhong took a few dozen steps forward, and when he went out, he threw the Baodiao bow to the soldiers next to him, and said, "I, Huang Hansheng, don't use a bow! Zhou Yu's child, don't want to ramble again. Just go back to Jiangdong directly, and you will be killed!"
Zhou Yu secretly regretted: he subconsciously blurted out and bargained.
If you don’t bargain, it’s okay if you don’t accept this matter, but if you pay it back, the other party admits it. No matter how cowardly you are, it will be too harmful to morale and the credibility of your lord.
Seeing this, Sun Ce actually personally prepared to go down the wall and go to fight. Zhou Yu hurriedly grabbed it: "Brother is already a man of thousands of gold, how can he fight with an old soldier?
Even though Huang Zhong said he would not fire the hidden arrows, if his brother went to fight in person, he would probably take risks if he saw that the hidden arrows hurt people.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Dang advised, "Lord, although Huang Zhong seems to have some martial arts skills, he is probably just a bow and arrow. Looking at his age, he is at least fifty years old and his hair is slightly gray.
Moreover, I have never heard other surrendered generals in Jingzhou mention that he has any military achievements based on his personal courage. As long as he is running, he will not shoot arrows, the last general can also try it."
Han Dang said this correctly. Huang Zhong has never made any famous military achievements in his personal melee martial arts in his life.
But objectively speaking, Huang Zhong cannot be blamed for this. Liu Biao’s strategic route of “staying in the place”. Liu Biao has not launched any war of aggression in seven years since he took office. Where can Huang Zhong make contributions?
Zhou Yu advised: "General Han is also a veteran general who follows the general of the Polu. He is over 40 years old. Now he has a prominent position. How can he fight with a captain in the enemy army? He has in vain for his identity. It is better to find a captain, a captain or a captain in our army. He can try a young general who is known for his personal bravery. It is not too late to make a district."
Sun Ce waved his hand and refused to let Zhou Yu and Han Dang argue again. Instead, he glanced at other young and brave generals in the city tower: "Chen Wu, Pan Zhang, Lu Meng, and Song Qian, who dared to fight Huang Zhong?"
These four people were reckless and all said they were better than a fifty-year-old man whose bow and arrow were forbidden.
Everyone judged this way, but it is not their fault for their vision. Before, Huang Zhong had only shown his bow and arrows, whether he had defeated Xu Sheng before or against snipers today.
Zhou Yu was quite careful and wanted to call Cai Mao, who had not been on the city tower to fight against the enemy today, and ask him clearly, what kind of martial arts is Huang Zhong? But how could he delay such a long time when he challenged the swearing formation?
In the final result, Sun Ce also felt that Song Qian's martial arts were a little lower, while Lu Mengtai was young, so he asked Pan Zhang to go out.
To be honest, there were fewer occasions for fighting against generals at the end of the Han Dynasty. If Li Su and Zhou Yu had not been swearing each other today, it would have risen to "to prove whether the locals in Jingzhou are willing to work hard for Liu Bei's camp, or hope that the Jiangdong brothers will liberate them", it would not have been like this.
Soon, the war drums rang on the city wall, and the crossbows lined up to suppress the corner of the wall. Li Su's troops heard the drum sound and temporarily retreated for two arrows, leaving an empty field for both sides to fight one-on-one.
Then hundreds of cavalrymen in the city stepped out of the city against the wall, and Pan Zhang also waved a big sword and rode his horse to fight. When he saw clearly that the weapons Huang Zhong was holding were also similar big swords, he became more and more confident.
Pan Zhang thought to himself: "Hmph, the sword technique emphasizes great power, strong force, fierceness, and extremely high physical strength. Weapons such as guns and sticks are light and agile, and they are afraid that the old man is experienced. Now that he is still old and weak, he will definitely kill him."
Not to mention, Pan Zhang thought so when he met Huang Zhong when he was dying in the Romance, and he was really blocked by him and he had many tricks to fight back and forth.
Unfortunately, the Battle of Yiling in Romance was when Pan Zhang met 75-year-old Huang Zhong, but now it was 23 years earlier. Pan Zhang met 52-year-old Huang Zhong, who was only 52-year-old. (Note: Official Huang Zhong did not participate in the Battle of Yiling, and Liu Bei died of illness as soon as he became emperor)
"Old man Huang Zhong died! The scholars and people in Jingzhou, 90 million yuan are looking forward to our King of the Eastern Wu army, eating pots of slurry. Only a few other traitors and enemies, selling their ancestors and seeking honor, and helping Li Su to harm the elders of the hometown. How can you have the face to live in the world!"
Pan Zhang yelled at the lines Zhou Yu taught him to attack the enemy before he went to war, and rushed forward with a big sword.
Huang Zhong originally planned to calmly fight and quietly observe Pan Zhang's martial arts. However, Pan Zhang's insults completely exaggerated Huang Zhong's anger:
What? I defended the countryside and resisted foreign enemies, but actually became a soldier of ancestors and aiding evil people. If I asked the dog thief to say something more, my grandfather would not be named Huang!
Huang Zhong was filled with anger, and the sword was holding Feng Lei, using twelve percent of his body. He was in his fifties and had to pay attention to his blood pressure in normal times, so he wouldn't have done his best to explode.
"Clang!" With a loud bang, the two horses interlaced, and the two big swords were figment-free to fight to the death. Even the horses on both sides felt the transmission of the huge impact, and almost the horse's hooves became weak.
Fortunately, Pan Zhang is known for his fierce force and violence, but he is not hit. He just feels that his chest is suddenly suffocated, and he feels like a hammer, and the tiger's mouth is also very numb. Fortunately, the two horses have already opened the distance, and the arms are temporarily slightly sour and numb.
Soon the two turned their horses back and sprinted against each other again. Huang Zhong also realized that he could not expect to use his strength to fight against Pan Zhang and directly knocked down two or three moves, so he changed his tactics. After the horses were handed over again, Huang Zhong changed his horses to parallel, and a quick knife was like a splattering wind and snow, slashing continuously.
Pan Zhang stood on the left and right, blocking three or four swords in a row, and was shocked. He felt that the sword opposite was like the fury waves of the Yangtze River, and it was layered and waves advanced, with no end.
"Oh no, this fifty-year-old man is no longer under me. I didn't expect that the attack could be so dense with sword techniques."
Unfortunately, there is no possibility of regret and timid battle now. Only by fighting to the end will you die and die. Pan Zhang was also inspired to be brave and brave, regardless of the confrontation.
Fortunately, many of Huang Zhong's moves were meant to force the enemy to rescue him. He thought that Pan Zhang would definitely be able to fight back and block it, so he stopped his strength and changed his moves without waiting for the old moves.
Unexpectedly, Pan Zhang suddenly ignored the defense. Huang Zhong could hit the two consecutive swords, but he used his strength to close it too early. He only cut two extremely long but not deep wounds on Pan Zhang's shoulders, arms, and ribs. He turned his skin and flesh and blood all over, which seemed extremely terrifying.
Huang Zhong also had to rescue Pan Zhang for the time being because of his rapid attack without following the routine. He seemed a little busy.
However, as Pan Zhang began to lose blood, his moves inevitably gradually weakened, and his sword skills gradually became messy, relying on instinct to support him.
When the defenders on the city saw Pan Zhang's blood, they realized that they would definitely not be able to defeat him, so they hurriedly called Jin to withdraw their troops. Unfortunately, Huang Zhong and Pan Zhang fought together. Pan Zhang had no advantage of horse speed at all, and even if they were called Jin, they could not reach the distance. They wanted to rush back to the last two arrows at the city gate. It seemed so far away. Without taking twenty or thirty moves, they would probably not be able to complete this distance.
How could Huang Zhong allow Pan Zhang to take another twenty moves? With more than ten moves passed, Pan Zhang, who was already injured all over his body, was unable to block the fatal blow from behind. His arm became soft and he was slashed on his shoulder by the remaining force of a big knife.
From shoulder to back, the slashed half a foot deep, and the broken spine, ribs, the head and shoulders lost the support of the spine, and suddenly drooped forward, and the heart and lungs surged out of the knife. The horse carried Pan Zhang's body that seemed to be connected into one and could be buried directly, and rushed back to the city gate.
