Chapter 1914: Both sides are tied, strength is respected
Sun Quan shouted angrily from the top of the city gate. Although Zhou Yu was far away under his own flag, he seemed to hear it. He raised his head slightly and glanced, then turned around, his expression seemed completely unmoved.
There were only the last hundred personal guards left beside Zhou Yu, and the rest of the soldiers had already entered the battlefield. Even Huang Gai was fighting hard at the front of the line, dragging his exhausted body.
Huang Gai was obviously injured, but he was still standing on the front line. The big gun had stabilized the precarious formation countless times. After the battle, even Cao Ren somewhat avoided Huang Gai's position.
, I don’t want to fight this madman again!
The smell of blood was extremely strong, permeating the entire battlefield.
Zhou Yu glanced at the large banner of Cao Jun on the opposite hill. He could only vaguely see Cao Cao under the banner. He seemed to be looking coldly in the direction of his banner. Although he and Cao Cao did not directly engage in the fight, they continued to fight.
They are competing to see who is more stoic, who is more resistant to fighting, and who is stronger!
The sun in the sky has moved west to the mountains on the horizon, but it is still shining its last afterglow on this land, making everything around it golden and transparent, but in an hour or two, it will be dark.
The combat power of the soldiers under his command has now been exerted to the extreme. Zhou Yu knows that although it seems to be decent on the surface, in fact, many of them have exhausted their strength and are unable to say anything.
If you keep fighting, you won't even be able to pick up a sword or a gun!
Zhou Yu smiled bitterly in his heart.
Maybe I really underestimated Cao Cao this time...
If Cao Cao can be pushed back, he can at least shake the center line of Cao's army, and then Xiahou Yuan on the flank will have to return reinforcements, giving Sun Quan the opportunity to calmly send out troops and cover up Cao's army together.
But now, it's just a if, and it's obviously impossible to realize it.
He also cannot retreat.
Because all of our soldiers are holding on with their last breath. If we withdraw this time, not to mention whether we can escape under the cover of night, I am afraid that even the morale and fighting spirit of the army will be fatal. Even if it is the next
Once against Cao Jun, he was weakened by three points without even fighting!
In a cold weapon war, military morale and morale are very important, so Zhou Yu used all his strength from the beginning, and the same was true for Cao Cao. Neither side was willing to show a cowardly posture in the first head-on confrontation.
, so that it affects the morale of the entire army.
Cao Cao had Xia Houyuan on his side, but he refused to let Xia Houyuan go into battle because he had such momentum that he could not lose.
Zhou Yu's side seemed to be the same, with Sun Quan on the flank still unmoved in the city, but Zhou Yu knew that the situation was actually different from Cao Cao's because he was unable to mobilize Sun Quan.
The worry about the Jiangdong nobles, without any signs, can only be just worry, and may even be mistaken by Sun Quan for being suspicious. It is also very likely to cause dissatisfaction among the Jiangdong nobles, saying that Zhou Yu has ulterior motives...
By doing this, on the one hand, he accompanied almost all his private soldiers, on the other hand, he made Sun Quan dissatisfied, and at the same time, he may have offended the Jiangdong nobles. Once defeated, the end would be almost unimaginable. The reputation and status gained from the previous desperate fight may be
It will turn into ashes in an instant!
Is it worth it?
worth.
Because his private soldiers can be said to be the most elite part of the Jiangdong Army. Under Sun Ce and his leadership, this army has won victory after victory. It is this continuous victory that supports a strong belief.
Only then did he have the super strong momentum to fight to the death. It can be said that these soldiers under his command, together with the group of Sun soldiers under Sun Quan, are called the most powerful fighting force in Jiangdong. If even his own army is
If they cannot gain an advantage in the head-on confrontation with Cao Cao's army, then even if Cao Cao retreats this time, if Cao Cao goes south again in the future, which army will dare to resist Cao Cao to the death like today?
In the Spring and Autumn Period, Bian Que met Duke Huan of Cai and stood there.
Bian Que said: "You have a disease in your body. If you don't treat it, you will be afraid of it."
Marquis Huan said: "I have no illness."
At that time, Zhou Yu himself was Bian Que, but Sun Quan, who was "disease in his body", might not think that he was ill.
No matter what, it is enough to be worthy of heaven and earth. At least, worthy of Brother Bofu’s entrustment...
What will happen to you, why should you think too much about it?
It's just that these soldiers of Cao's army are indeed quite powerful. It would be better if they could be less ferocious...
Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and for a moment it was more beautiful than the sunset on the horizon.
Naturally, Cao Cao could not see Zhou Yu's face, but he could see the figure in the distance, which was as steady as a mountain. From the beginning of the battle to now, just like Cao Cao himself, he had not moved even half a step.
What?
Pee and urine problem?
I didn't hear a word that was said well, how much do idle people pee?
Uh, please sit down, Lu Xun. In fact, it means that under the control of adrenaline, on both sides of the fight, from the generals to the soldiers, there will be no trouble with feces and urine.
So Cao Cao saw Zhou Yu's calm figure. As the sun set little by little over the mountainous area, Cao Cao's expression gradually darkened.
No matter how many times, no matter how tired these Jiangdong soldiers look, no matter how many times they are defeated, these Jiangdong soldiers will still gather together and attack again!
After fighting until now, Cao Cao actually saw a kind of fear in his Qingzhou soldiers...
These Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Cao were born out of the Yellow Turban soldiers. They were basically veterans who had experienced life and death again and again. They were extremely accustomed to battle formations and fighting, and they were indifferent to life and death. But even if
These Qingzhou soldiers, under the fierce fighting of Jiangdong soldiers, had already shown serious signs of fatigue. Many of them retreated and lay on their backs with their hands and feet spread out, breathing heavily, and seemed to not move again.
They were unwilling even for a moment, and some even experienced severe fatigue and fainted on the spot!
At the same time, Cao Cao also had a war-avoidance attitude that he had rarely seen in Qingzhou soldiers!
The ordering soldiers shouted and trumpeted, but the retreating Qingzhou soldiers seemed not to hear them. They moved slowly and were obviously unwilling to step forward again. At the urging of the military commander, Qu Chang, they reluctantly formed a formation to attack.
This made Cao Cao angry, but also a little scared.
According to Cao Cao's knowledge, there are at least 60,000 soldiers in Jiangdong!
If all Jiangdong soldiers are as powerful as the ones in front of them, then if they really engage in a full-scale fight, can their own soldiers be able to fight? Even if they can fight, how many soldiers will be left after the war?
Then Fei Qian in Guanzhong...
Thinking about it carefully, Cao Cao couldn't help but have doubts. Therefore, Cao Cao had to re-examine his original plan, and even began to wonder whether the fourth or fifth plan should be the main target direction.
Sun Quan was on the city wall of Jiangxia, anxious and angry, and he was so anxious that he was in a panic. If there was another Jiangdong general, Sun Quan could just ignore him and just mind his own business. What could he do if he lived or died?
But Zhou Yu is no one else. He is the right-hand man of his brother Sun Ce. He is also the only backbone general recognized by the Jiangdong elder faction. He is also the auxiliary commander entrusted by his brother before his death! Although Zhou Yu and himself have never been very compatible, they even gave him a gift.
He used a long-sheathed dagger to ridicule himself, but Zhou Yu was still Zhou Yu after all, not any other ordinary Jiangdong general!
Yes, Zhou Yu cannot die, at least Zhou Yu cannot die in front of him!
Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin must have understood this, so he unscrupulously dispatched all his soldiers to fight Cao Jun to the death!
But Sun Quan didn't want to, nor was he willing to be led by Zhou Yu!
Seeing that the war was becoming more and more cruel and stalemate, although Sun Quan stood still, his slander and anger towards Zhou Yu grew more and more. Sun Quan knew that he should support Zhou Yu, but he extremely hated the idea of Zhou Yu controlling everything.
Feel!
Sun Quan didn't like this feeling very much. He is the lord, he is the absolute monarch! He should be on top! He should be the one to arrange everything, he should take the initiative, instead of passively responding to Zhou Yu's actions!
Seeing such an anxious Sun Quan, Lu Su couldn't help but frown tightly. Although he could guess some of the reasons why Zhou Yu returned to help, Lu Su felt that even if he guessed these things now,
Tell Sun Quan something, but according to Sun Quan's current situation, he may not be able to listen...
Sun Quan could not understand Zhou Yu's feelings for Sun Ce, and naturally it was impossible for him to understand Zhou Yu's emphasis and caution on the Sun family's foundation.
Just like many rich second generations spend money lavishly, because these rich second generations who spend a lot of money have not experienced the hardships of their parents' generation who grew up in poverty with only one penny and two cents.
The difference is here.
Contradictions arise from this...
With the foundation established, the elders are more willing to defend and strive for progress while maintaining stability, while second-generation, er, third-generation people like Sun Quan are more willing to explore and do bigger things to prove their abilities.
…
Conflicts are naturally unavoidable, but Lu Su tried to mediate in such conflicts, worked hard to be a mason, and worked hard to plaster the cracks in Jiangdong.
"My lord..." Lu Su followed Sun Quan's footsteps in the circle and whispered beside him, "The current battle situation requires the governor to show his loyalty to my lord..."
"Huh? Ah?!" Sun Quan couldn't help but be startled after hearing this. He stopped, looked back at Lu Su, then stretched his neck to look at the cruel battlefield outside the city, "What do you mean by Zijing's words?"
Lu Su looked around, Sun Quan understood, and ordered the guards to move away. Lu Su then whispered: "The governor has three intentions for doing this. One can weaken the prestige of Cao's army, damage his bones and muscles, and make Cao's thieves dare not
Despise Jiangdong; secondly, Liu Jingzhou is like a wolf, and Cao Cao's thieves are like tigers. The old wolf is old and must not be as ferocious as Cao's thieves in the city. Nowadays, tigers and wolves are here, and there are many mistakes in facing a wolf and carrying a tiger; thirdly..."
Lu Su glanced at the city and said in a lower voice, "The governor has many old soldiers, so... all these old soldiers are here now... Couldn't it be that the governor is using this move to show his loyalty to the lord? My lord, you must
Think twice!』
Regardless of the dynasty, emperors are extremely taboo about losing military power, and these powerful soldiers in Zhou Yu's hands are a legacy of history. Sun Quan has no way to take them away, but now Zhou Yu has undoubtedly filled the battlefield with these soldiers.
, the loss is not small, so from this perspective, Zhou Yu's threat to Sun Quan is naturally much smaller.
"Hmm..." Sun Quan pondered.
I have to say that after Lu Su said this, Sun Quan felt much more comfortable. Although he was suppressed by Zhou Yu this time, it might be the last time, and he would be the one to take the lead next time!
If that's the case, well, I'll bear with it this time!
"Forget it..." Sun Quan took a breath, "Come here! Beat the drum! Get ready to go out!"
The deafening drums finally burst into the sky in Jiangxia City, causing both sides of the battlefield to have different reactions...
Needless to say, Zhou Yu's side was fighting bravely, but Cao Cao was a little hesitant because Cao Cao felt that if he faced Jiangdong soldiers in an all-out confrontation right now, it would be a bit of a disadvantage.
After seeing the strength of Zhou Yu's soldiers, Cao Cao naturally had some doubts about the possibility of using Xia Houyuan to seize the city while Sun Quan was opening the city gate. He further wondered whether he might have fallen into Sun Quan and Zhou Yu's strategy, and whether there would be some risks in his retreat.
Wait a minute or something.
To put it simply, in Cao Cao's mind, he himself wears shoes, while Jiangdong Sun Quan and other South Vietnamese barbarians are naturally barefoot. Then he takes the shoes in his hand to fight against the bare feet. Even if he can win, he must be
not worth it.
So should we still follow the original plan and let Xia Houyuan and Sun Quan fight and take the opportunity to seize the city?
Cao Cao looked at the setting sun on the edge of the mountain, watched the sun's last bare forehead emit a slightly dazzling light, and then disappeared under the ridge. He couldn't help but touch his slightly bare forehead, and then ordered: "
Send the order! Hold down the position with bows and arrows on both wings, and withdraw the troops with gold!』
He was slowly withdrawing his troops at this moment, and Sun Quan and Zhou Yu did not dare to pursue him.
This is for sure.
Zhou Yu's side was tired from fighting, while Sun Quan's side had to go out of the city to line up. In addition, the autumn sky dimmed very quickly, and it would be dark in a blink of an eye. If Jiangdong really dared to catch up, he would definitely light up the fire, and then
The enemy was in the open and we were in the dark, so Cao Cao didn't mind ambushing us.
However, there is a high possibility that both sides will stop fighting.
Sure enough, seeing Cao Cao slowly withdrawing his troops, Zhou Yu also ordered the gold medal, but instead of stalking each other, the two sides began to break away from each other, leaving a battlefield of corpses.
Although it's a pity, that's it for now.
Cao Cao shook his head slightly and sighed.
After all, he is no longer twenty years old, and God will definitely not give him another twenty years to make waves. Therefore, since the current situation has changed that he did not expect, it is obviously not the case.
It is possible to defeat the Jiangdong soldiers quickly, so we should seek stability first!
Anyway, no matter how you calculate it, you will not lose money in this wave, either from here or from the side. Since Zhou Yu has returned to the army, the siege of Jiangling is almost equivalent to lifting the siege, so even if he pays money to retreat,
It’s not a loss, and then there won’t be any problem by sending out scouts to find out the changes before proceeding with the next strategy...
This game is considered a draw between the two sides for the time being, and they will compete again another day!
……ヽ(｀Д′)?……
The war in Jiangxia has temporarily come to an end, but the storm in the Western Regions has become more and more intense, like the cold current of winter in the north, roaring in.
In mid-August, the cold wind blowing from the north howls at the mountain pass, like the roar of death.
Yun Rong and his party returned to the Western Region from Congling, crossed mountains and ridges, and finally saw some people in the field of vision, which meant that they had finally walked out of the mountains and deserts, and were getting closer to Dunhuang.
The Yunrong tribe also argued for a long time about leaving Congling and coming to Dunhuang this time.
Most of the younger generation expressed their willingness to wander around once, um, give it a try, while the older tribesmen expressed opposition and were unwilling to leave the environment they were accustomed to and cooperate with strangers, even if these strange Han people would
The prospects for the future are so bright and colorful.
Then naturally they started to argue with each other.
Young people think that older people are stubborn and unwilling to change, while old people think that young people are reckless and ignorant...
The final result was that some of them were led by the older tribal leaders and continued to live in Congling, while the young clan leader's son took some equally young Yunrong people to Dunhuang to pursue the beautiful future they longed for.
.
The name of Yun Rong's patriarch's son was very long and difficult to pronounce. Although he told it several times, Jiang Juan could never remember it, so Jiang Juan simply intercepted one of the syllables and called him "Yun Er"
…
"Yun Er" did not object, because according to Jiang Juan's explanation, the leader of the Yunrong clan was naturally the eldest, so the patriarch's son was naturally the second, which was "Yun Er".
Poor mountains and poor waters bring out unruly people, this saying...well...
Because of the harsh natural conditions, people who can live in harsh mountains and rivers often need stronger bodies and stronger strength, while those who are sick and weak are eliminated by nature and cannot survive at all.
The same is true for Yun Rong.
In the plateau mountains and forests like Congling, almost everyone in Yunrong, who is half-herding and half-farming, is a warrior. Facing the cruelty of nature and the tigers, leopards and bears in the mountains, they have also developed a strong physique. As the son of the clan leader,
Yunji is a leader among the younger generation. Because of his status, Yunji is not short of food. He is tall and round, with hair all over his body and even his face. It is said that he wears it diagonally.
The fur of a black bear killed by one man looks more like a beast than a man.
"Go a little further and you'll find Dunhuang..." Jiang Juan explained with gestures, "There will be delicious food over there..."
The Qiang is a large-scale tribal group that has existed since the Zhou Dynasty. The "Book of Songs·Shang Song" records: "In the past, there was a Tang Dynasty, and the Qiang people came from there..."
Therefore, the Qiang language is a common language in most areas of the Western Regions, and Yunrong is no exception. Although some pronunciation has mutated, making communication a little difficult, it is not that both parties cannot understand it at all. Jiang Juan's words are probably Yun Er
You can understand it to some extent.
Jiang Juan was thinking about the Han family's food, but Yun Er was thinking about something else. Seeing Jiang Juan turning around to lead the way, he quickly stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Juan and said: "Well... over there, you, tell me
I met a very powerful person... I want to fight a very powerful person..."
While talking, Yun Er clenched his fist tightly and shook it in front of Jiang Juan, baring his teeth in a ferocious grin.
"Ah?" Jiang Juan was startled, and then she came to her senses and said tentatively, "Are you saying that you want to have a try...with Wen Hou? Ah? Why?"
Yun Er said very seriously: "Whoever is stronger, listen to whoever..."
