Chapter 2892 The generals order is not accepted by the army outside
Huang Gai gave the order, but Chen Wu did not obey it immediately.
This in itself is a very dangerous signal.
It was also Chen Wu's silent provocation against Huang Gai's authority.
Just when Huang Gai's brows gradually rose, Chen Wu suddenly smiled, then handed over his hands to accept the order, whistled, led his group of Lujiang Shangjia, disembarked from the boat, and headed for the battlefield.
Huang Gai took a deep breath with complicated eyes.
Under Zigui City, the fire was raging.
To deal with these siege engines, you can only use kerosene.
These ladders and vehicles are all built with newly cut wood, and even some branches and leaves. Such wood will not be ignited by a few rockets, or even let the rockets burn it out. At most, it will
Just a black piece.
Therefore, only kerosene can be used to turn these things into torches.
However, the amount of kerosene in Zigui City is indeed running low. A large part of it was used before, but now...
Looking at the flames and black smoke rising from the city, Zhuge Liang's eyes were cold.
Zhuge Liang does look down on the people of Jiangdong, both now and in history.
To be precise, Zhuge Liang looked down upon Sun Quan and the upper-class rulers of Jiangdong under Sun Quan. This does not mean that Zhuge Liang is arrogant, or that he is so arrogant that he does not know how high the sky is and how thick it is, but that Zhuge Liang feels that he is as powerful as Sun Quan and his subordinates.
The Jiangdong gentry group undoubtedly failed miserably in their rule of Jiangdong.
Historically, Zhuge Liang did not vote for Jiangdong. There may be two reasons. One is that Zhuge Jin arrived in Jiangdong in advance and understood some internal conditions, and the other is that Pang Tong was rejected in Jiangdong.
There is no harm without comparison.
This sentence is true whether it is placed in the Han Dynasty or in later generations.
Although Yangzhou is not a good place among the Han people, it still depends on where it is compared.
What? Sichuan and Shu? Sichuan and Shu are a good place. They have been recognized as a land of plenty in the past Qin Dynasty. Take Liu Zhang’s father as an example. Either he saw the shortage in Yizhou, or he hurriedly turned around and went to Sichuan.
Shu?
Among the previous states of the Han Dynasty, it can be said that only Bingliang and Liangzhou were the worst. Years of war have led to a decline in the population of these two states, economic collapse, and disorder. Not to mention people, even dogs heard about this.
Both states would shake their heads. Yangzhou is much cooler in comparison. Although in the traditional concept of the Han Dynasty, it is also a border area and borders South Vietnam, but at least Yangzhou has not had a long-term war, and its population and economy are relatively stable.
The Sun family has been in control of the Yangzhou area in Jiangdong for quite some time, right?
What did you do then?
Is there anything worthy of praise?
It's like Zhuge Liang is a student who is about to graduate and is preparing to find a job. With Zhuge's intelligence, of course he knows how to find some senior brothers and sisters to inquire about the internal situation of the company, and then Zhuge Jin, who can't leave, shows a picture at the window
He wrote a sign saying "Run fast", while Pang Tong on the side said that it was fortunate that I ran fast...
So, who else does such a company want to recruit?
Except for those who are deeply immersed in it and have been contaminated to the point of being unable to extricate themselves, then the father will pass it on to his son, and the son will pass it on to his grandson. The inheritance will be passed down from generation to generation until the day of collapse?
The kerosene ignited the chariots and columbians, as well as the ladders abandoned under the city. The fire soared into the sky and burned the area near the Zigui city gate until the air was shaking. The billowing smoke covered the inside and outside of the city.
Some corpses were also ignited by the flames, emitting a unique burnt smell.
Zhuge Liang squinted his eyes, trying to see clearly the movements of Jiangdong through the billowing black smoke.
The Jiangdong soldiers below the city have obviously lost their morale and have little strength left. They are retreating listlessly. And there seem to be some soldiers moving on the Jiangdong boats in the distance...
"Not enough, not enough." Zhuge Liang said slowly.
This little bit of excitement was not enough to make Jiang Dong go crazy, or lose his mind.
This is where it gets more troublesome.
For Jiangdong soldiers, their supplies and repair areas are all set up on boats. For example, when attacking cities like Zigui that are relatively close to the river, there is no need to set up camps on land. This not only allows Jiangdong soldiers to save
It increased a lot of strength and gave these Jiangdong soldiers a lot of psychological advantages.
Even if they can't defeat them, they can withdraw at any time without considering the danger of their buttocks. This will naturally allow Jiangdong soldiers to focus more on the attack, which invisibly enhances their combat effectiveness.
In addition, Zhuge burned Jiangdong once before, so Jiangdong soldiers spared no effort in detecting the upper reaches. Whether it was building a trebuchet position on the hilltop again or playing water rafting, with sufficient warning and preparedness,
It doesn't work very well.
The flames and black smoke were slightly smaller.
Zhuge Liang turned around and said to the guard beside him, "Send the order and attack."
The guard nodded in agreement, then turned around to deliver the order.
Gan Ning stared at the guard as he walked away, then turned to glare at Zhuge Liang, then turned to glare at the guard, then scratched his head, the expression on his face was twisted, and finally couldn't hold it in anymore, "Get on with it! Let me go too!"
"Oh, are you worried about Hengzhi?" Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "He has sense...he knows how to hide when he encounters danger..."
Gan Ning scratched his head hard.
Is this talking about me? This must be talking about me! But I can’t refute it, hey, hey, hey!
"Be calm and don't be impatient." Zhuge Liang said, "You are just having a drink in front of you, and there will be a lot of drinking later. Is Xingba trying to take a small drink but giving up the drink?"
"Ah?" Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed, "Seriously do you say this?!"
"Then it depends on whether Xingba is willing to obey a certain order." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
Gan Ning suddenly came back to life with full blood, "If you are ordered to do something, you will definitely obey it!"
Not to mention the joy of Gan Ning in Zigui City, Fa Ping quietly opened the city gate under the cover of fireworks, and immediately rushed out with his people, making a noise and rushing forward to kill.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Fa Ping and others shouted in unison, accompanied by the war drums and shouts in Zigui City. For a moment, the momentum was not like a hundred people, but more like a thousand people rushing out at once. The killing sound frightened the Jiangdong soldiers, who were originally behind.
The garrison array was somewhat shaken.
Jiangdong's soldiers were divided into three parts. Of course, one part was burned and retreated during the attack. When they heard the shouts of killing from behind, they ran away regardless. The other part was on both sides of the battlefield and was preparing to do so.
After gathering and blocking Faping's troops, the only ones left were the Jiangdong soldiers near the shore, on the boats, and in the surrounding area.
Oh, and there is also the Lujiang Shangjia led by Chen Wu who has sneaked to the side and is preparing to take Faping's retreat.
"Move quickly! Stop them!" Jiangdong Bingzu Military Academy reacted and shouted loudly.
The Jiangdong soldiers who raided the formation did not react immediately, because their previous raids were more like a formality, and the Sichuan and Shu soldiers did not come out of the city before, and they also formed a mindset. Now Sichuan soldiers
The Shu army suddenly rushed out, making them somewhat uncomfortable.
Amidst the howls of the officers, the soldiers who were raiding the formation in Jiangdong also shouted loudly. They set up shields in the front row and flat spears in the back, and rushed towards Faping and others. However, the commands of the military schools who raided the formation were inconsistent.
The unevenness caused part of the entire array to move forward and part to remain in place, forming a zigzag-like shape.
The two sides collided quickly, and then sprayed out bloody spray.
Faping held a spear and stared at a Jiangdong sword and shield man who was rushing towards him. When the two sides were approaching, the Jiangdong sword and shield man accidentally stepped on a stump of an unknown person's limb, and he was instantly
The man tilted a little, and Faping immediately caught the flaw, and he rushed forward, holding a spear in both hands and stabbed out violently!
Faping stabbed the Jiangdong sword and shield hand in the chest. The spear made of fine steel broke through the leather armor and made a harsh scratching sound when it rubbed against the iron plates inlaid on the leather armor. The middle part of the gun barrel arched upward slightly and penetrated.
It hit the chest of the Jiangdong armored soldier.
The Jiangdong sword and shield wielder stared at Faping, spitting out a large mouthful of blood, and the muscles on his face were twisted. He seemed to want to throw the sword in his hand at Faping, but his arm was raised halfway and then dropped down.
Faping pulled out his spear, and the Jiangdong swordsman and shieldman immediately fell to the ground. But before Faping could take a breath, he heard a scream from beside him, and a spearman beside him was fighting with Jiangdong soldiers.
In the process, he was stabbed in the abdomen by Jiang Dongbing and fell to his knees.
Faping immediately took a step sideways, thrust out his spear quickly, and killed the Jiangdong soldier who had no time to pull out his spear. Just after Faping killed the Jiangdong soldier, two more sword and shield bearers rushed out, both holding swords and shields.
Protecting his body with a round shield, he bent forward and rushed forward, trying to rush into Faping's inner circle.
Faping quickly held the gun, raised his right hand and lowered his left hand. The tip of the spear pressed against a shield. Then, with the strength of the shield soldier, he jumped back a step. After landing, he immediately pushed back with force.
This is the spearman's standard defensive sword-and-shield move.
Jiangdong Sword and Shield Man's plan to rush in failed. Not only that, the shield in his hand was pushed by Fa Ping, and he suddenly lost his original balance. He couldn't hold back and fell to the ground. Before he could get up,
The soldiers beside Faping had already shot him through the neck, and blood suddenly flowed into the sky like a fountain.
Another Jiangdong sword and shield player stared at Faping. He didn't look at the life and death of the soldiers around him. He just lowered his body and with a ferocious expression, used the upper edge of his left shield to push up Faping's gun and pushed it in.
The blind spot of Faping's spear. This is an experienced veteran. He knows that as long as he enters this distance, the sword in his hand can kill Faping!
However, because the Jiangdong Swordsman and Shieldman was all focused on Faping, he relaxed his vigilance towards others. When he was about to attack Faping, he was stabbed diagonally by a spear from the back row of the Sichuan and Shu soldiers, exposing him.
Lower leg under buckler.
Jiangdong's sword and shield hand suddenly staggered, collapsed, screamed, and instinctively raised the sword to slash at the Sichuan-Shu soldier who stabbed him, but he forgot about Fa Ping in front of him, revealing a fatal
Empty.
Faping easily stabbed him in the face and took him away.
Training, equipment, courage, opportunity.
Determines life or death.
In the fierce battle, the soldiers of both sides suffered casualties, but overall, the Jiangdong soldiers suffered a greater proportion of casualties.
Because Jiangdong soldiers not only wear leather armor, but most of them carry round shields. Although this kind of round shield is lighter and easier to carry than the infantry tower shield, it also has the inherent disadvantage of a smaller protective area. When facing ordinary attacks,
When Shannan was a barbarian, this problem was not a big one, but when faced with Fa Ping's more elite Sichuan and Shu soldiers, these problems were magnified.
In particular, Faping brought elite soldiers from Sichuan who cooperated with each other tacitly. Both in terms of training and combat courage, they far exceeded those of the defenders of Zigui. And these Jiangdong soldiers were raiding the formation on both sides.
Everyone has been standing for two or three hours, and both physical strength and endurance have dropped a lot. Comparing this, Jiang Dongbing suffered a big loss.
Even if they were lucky enough to kill and injure the Sichuan-Shu soldiers, they were quickly killed by the Sichuan-Shu soldiers' counterattack. Such rapid losses among the Jiangdong soldiers made it unsustainable for the entire front, and they began to retreat step by step.
There were no small gaps everywhere, revealing the lightly-armed Koto spearmen behind the sword and shield man.
When these lightly armored Jiangdong spearmen faced Fa Ping's heavily armored spearmen, they undoubtedly suffered crushing injuries and were beaten to the point where they were unable to fight back.
Jiang Dongbing's array was quickly defeated.
Faping shook off the remaining blood on his spear, glanced at it, and did not order the pursuit, but began to retreat.
Huang Gai, who was standing on the boat in the river, was stunned for a moment.
Taking advantage, but instead of continuing the attack, retreated?
"Come here. Send an order to Captain Chen." Huang Gai thought of something and frowned, "Don't expose yourself, postpone the attack."
"Wei!" the ordering soldier responded loudly subconsciously. He originally thought he was going to attack immediately, but after he agreed, he realized that Huang Gai's order was a bit strange, "Ah? The governor said... postpone the attack?"
Huang Gai nodded and repeated the command again, "Stop attacking."
The ordering soldier didn't know what was going on, but he understood the order clearly and went down to convey the order.
Huang Gai looked at Faping and others who were retreating into the city in the distance, and sighed slightly, "The commander-in-chief of this city is difficult to deal with..."
Don't be greedy for merit, don't make rash advances, and you will be able to secure a group.
As a teammate, such a person is of course very happy, but as an opponent...
It would be very troublesome.
He had doubts before, thinking that the generals in the Sichuan and Shu armies had changed, and Gan Ning was no longer the leader. Now he was more convinced. Because Gan Ning would not be so cautious and would not leave any chance to Huang Gai.
Because if it is Gan Ning, it is impossible to say that he is F2A at the moment and rushes directly. Then Huang Gai can happily let Gan Ning suck him, and then let Chen Wu go around and attack the city gate. Under double-teaming from the front and rear, he will definitely be able to
Defeat them again. But now, these people who left the city did not go far at all, and after defeating the Jiangdong array, they did not take credit at all and started to retreat directly, which made Huang Gai unable to catch the flaw.
Seeing this situation, Huang Gai gave up the idea of letting Chen Wu attack from the side.
Since you can't catch the loopholes at all, why bother exposing your own side?
But the problem is, I don't know if Huang Gai's order was delayed, or because he didn't explain it clearly, or for some other reason, but Chen Wu on the flank rushed out with his soldiers and rushed towards Fa Ping and others!
The yellow cover on the building boat suddenly changed color, and then unable to suppress his anger, he slapped the handrail hard, making the wooden handrail creak, as if it would break in the next moment.
Even if Huang Gai doesn't deal with Chen Wu, he still wants Chen Wu's card to play a key role at the critical moment, instead of showing it in vain like it is now!
Before going to battle, Zhuge repeatedly emphasized that Faping should be careful. Therefore, when Chen Wu and his men rushed up, Faping immediately noticed it and shouted a warning. The Sichuan and Shu soldiers immediately changed from walking to running, speeding up their retreat.
steps without any hesitation.
If Chen Wu were a cavalry, it is impossible to say that six legs could really catch up with Fa Ping and block him at the city gate. But it is a pity that Chen Wu and his men also had two legs. Even if Chen Wu and others were raised on the boat
He was full of energy and physically stronger than Fa Ping and others. However, the problem was that this distance did not form an absolute advantage, and he could not get ahead of Fa Ping and others.
"Archers!" Zhuge Liang waved his hand, "Get ready to respond! Suppress the enemy!"
The arrows from the top of the city whizzed down, intercepting Chen Wu and other soldiers who were biting behind Fa Ping.
Chen Wu was furious and shouted at the top of the city, "You are a cowardless rat! If you have the guts, come down and fight San Lily with Grandpa Chen!"
But the only answer he received was the arrows splashed down from the top of the city.
Chen Wu screamed and screamed, but he had no choice but to retreat in dismay.
When Chen Wu returned to the rear with his anger still lingering, he was met with a scolding from Huang Gai.
"Captain Huang! You are making too much of a fuss!" Chen Wu said without caring, "What is the disobedience order? Didn't you order me to go? Why are you saying that I was disobeying the order now? There is no need to frame me.
Just use such crude means!"
The surrounding Jiangdong soldiers wanted to cover their ears immediately! I didn’t hear anything! I didn’t hear anything!
Huang Gai was so angry that he didn't care about Chen Wu's personal attitude towards him, but what Huang Gai cared about was that Chen Wu would gain nothing by doing this, and it would also expose the existence of Lujiang Shangjia, which might lead to
This gave the Sichuan and Shu armies more defenses, leading to additional changes in the battle situation that should not have occurred.
But the problem is that Chen Wu doesn't listen at all.
Because Chen Wu was originally a general in the ranger system. To charge into battle and take the enemy's general's head was the supreme honor pursued by a ranger general. As for military formations and tactics, Chen Wu was not interested.
What's more, Chen Wu felt that Huang Gai had monopolized power, and he felt unhappy. In addition, Huang Gai had been defeated once before, so he became more and more rude in a few words, sarcastically displaying the sharp tongue of a city ranger.
Nothing left.
Huang Gai didn't know how to talk, so how could he compare to Chen Wu? Moreover, Huang Gai's first order was indeed for Chen Wu to attack. As for the second order, Chen Wu said that he had already attacked, so there was no
He received new orders, so he attacked according to Huang Gai's previous instructions. This reason is completely reasonable.
In the end, Huang Gai had no choice but to give up.
But this incident caused the conflict between Huang Gai and Chen Wu to emerge directly from the hidden water to the surface...
