Chapter 3195 Chu Ci and Xu Sheng Yang Ma

Chapter 3194 Chu Ci and Xu Sheng Yang Ma

"boom!!"

Dust and smoke rise.

Sawdust flew everywhere.

Jiangdong soldiers were like a flock of ducks, quacking and retreating in defeat.

When gunpowder is used correctly on the battlefield, even if it shows a little ferocious claws, it is not something that people in the cold weapon age can bear.

Zhu Zhi thought that the pontoon bridge was the key to returning to the battlefield, but he found that the pontoon bridge was just a cover, or a target deliberately set up by Zhuge Liang, which made Jiangdong soldiers waste too much energy and fighting spirit on the pontoon bridge...

Under the attack of gunpowder, Jiangdong soldiers could not attack at all.

When Jiang Dongbing faced gunpowder, no matter how much Zhu Zhi emphasized or encouraged, it still had little effect.

When Jiang Dongbing saw the bloody bodies of the bombed bodies, this fear would become even more amplified...

It is strange to say that in fact, the corpses that died under cold weapons are not very good-looking. There are also some corpses that were hacked to death with random knives. They are even more bloody and horrific than those killed by bombs. But Jiang Dongbing can deal with those who were killed.

He turned a blind eye to the corpses being torn apart by random blades, but he was terrified of the corpses being torn apart by the explosion.

After all, when human beings face something unknown and beyond their control, fear is something engraved in their genes.

After the sky darkened, both sides ordered their troops to retreat.

The Jiangdong soldiers retreated like a tide, and the Sichuan and Shu soldiers slowly reoccupied the previously lost front.

Between the comings and goings, most of what was left behind were the corpses of Jiang Dongbing.

Yufu City is like a rock that is beaten by the river water but still stands tall.

Since Jiangdong's army entered the army, apart from the fact that they took in five high-rise ships and damaged one pontoon, Jiangdong's army has not gained much.

Zhu Zhi glanced at the Sichuan-Sichuan front in the distance again, exhaled a filthy breath, then patted the railing and returned to the cabin.

When Zhu Zhi was alone, his face showed fatigue.

Zhu Zhi is not young anymore.

Normal people begin to decline once they reach thirty-five. Even a general like Zhu Zhi who goes into battle cannot avoid physical weakness.

The ripples of fear still did not dissipate after Ming Jin, and he continued to add a DEBUFF to Jiangdong Army.

After more than ten years of fighting, it was the first time that Zhu Zhi felt the torture of war so clearly.

Before becoming the governor, Zhu Zhi thought Huang Gai was just a dish.

Now it's his turn to be the governor, and it turns out...

Compared with the Sichuan and Shu soldiers, the white tigers and black tigers back then were just like children playing house.

At that time, Yan Baihu said that he had tens of thousands of people and more than 10,000 troops, and his voice shook the east of the Yangtze River at every turn. The result was like paper and fell down with a poke. But now Yufu's Sichuan and Shu defenders are only a few thousand, but they are stable.

It is like a rock, no matter how the river washes away, it remains firm and unmoving.

The difficulty of this battle far exceeded Zhu Zhi's imagination.

The heavy casualties were beyond Zhu Zhi's expectation.

But in Zhu Zhi's mind, there are still some differences between people. If ordinary soldiers die, they will die. It's no big deal...

"Greetings to the Governor!" A Zhu family guard looked a little pale and stood outside the cabin, trembling slightly.

Zhu Zhi frowned, "What's the matter?"

"While the soldiers were retreating, arrows were shot from Sichuan and Sichuan..." The guard lowered his voice and stretched out his hand to offer an arrow tied with something.

Zhu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt that the tie tied to the arrow book looked familiar, and his expression immediately changed.

Arrow books are a common means of communication between the two armies in front of the formation.

On the one hand, writing is still the preserve of a few people at present. Most ordinary soldiers are illiterate at all, so there is no risk of leaking information among the ordinary people. On the other hand, the silk used in arrow books is not used in the current era.

These are quite expensive items that ordinary soldiers would not dare to use. They are in full view of the public, so there is no need to worry about ordinary soldiers hiding them secretly.

"The spring river is not yet warm, and the river dolphins are getting fat. All the virtuous and virtuous men I have seen are ready. In my garden, the peach blossoms are shining brightly. Although there is no splendor under the house, there is a picturesque mountain view, and you can enjoy the confluence of the rivers. I must treat you with the courtesy of a scholar.

Afterwards, we can discuss scriptures and poems together. You can also stroll in the garden and enjoy the singing of birds and the beauty of mountains and forests."

"Young Master is well here, don't worry Mr. Zhu!"

"Also, I know that your master is good at playing the flute. Wouldn't it be nice if someone could bring him the flute so that we can also enjoy the beauty of vocal music and add to the elegance?"

While Zhu Zhi was reading, his hands were shaking. When he finished reading, his vision went dark and a fishy stench suddenly surged in his throat.

It is generally difficult to vomit blood, but when emotionally excited, stomach cramps leading to vomiting some stomach acid or the like is also a normal reaction of most people under stress.

Zhu Zhi gritted his teeth and swallowed the stomach acid again.

Everything seems to have just begun, and everything already seems to be over.

On one side is Jiangdong's hope, and on the other is his own son.

Although Zhuge Liang's Arrow Book does not say anything explicitly, the meaning contained in it has been expressed in place.

This is impossible, absolutely impossible!

Zhu Ran cannot be captured!

However, the silk ribbon used to tie the scarf in the Arrow Book proves that at least something Zhu Ran left behind among the Sichuan and Shu troops.

Is it life or death?

But the most critical question now is what Zhu Zhi will do after knowing Zhu Ran's life and death?

Zhu Zhi was in great pain.

Although Zhu Ran is not his biological son, he is better than his biological son.

And Zhu Ran himself is very capable, which is one of the important reasons why Zhu Zhi is willing to regard Zhu Ran as his successor, but now Zhu Ran has fallen into the hands of his enemies!

Zhu Zhi didn't want to admit it, but the familiar silk ribbon in front of him showed an undeniable fact.





"Zhu Junli was at least hesitant at the moment."

On top of Yufu Mountain City, Zhuge Liang looked at the Jiangdong navy and made a judgment.

"So far, the morale of Jiangdong's army is still in chaos. Zhu Junli cannot hold on for long and will be defeated soon. General Yan should take the lead in this battle."

Yan Yan stood beside Zhuge Liang, her beard and hair fluttering in the river breeze, "If this person is cruel..."

After Yan Yan captured Zhu Ran, he could have rested. After all, given his age, it was not an easy task to besiege Zhu Ran in the mountains. However, Yan Yan did not become arrogant because of this, or lay down to rest.

After just one day of rest, he went to the mountain city the next day to inspect the city defense and assist in the defense.

"Haha." Zhuge Liang said slowly, "What General Yan said is not impossible... However, now, no matter whether Zhu Junli is advancing or retreating, making peace or fighting, the gap between Jiangdong's old minister and the new master has become..."

Although Zhu Zhi's offensive was fierce in the past few days, he did not send any of his troops to fight for his life. In other words, Zhu Zhi remained relatively cautious and maintained his strength before Zhu Ran was arrested.

This strength is not Jiangdong's strength, but Zhu's own strength.

These are two completely different concepts.

This is an unavoidable shortcoming of Jiangdong and a deep-rooted problem.

The Jiangdong warlords, including Zhu Zhi, subconsciously conserved their own strength when facing battles, and even used their authority as Jiangdong officials to expand their territories by borrowing Jiangdong's money and grain. This has become a habit.

A tradition.

This is not a matter of one or two days, nor is it a matter of Zhu Zhi alone.

For them, Sun Quan is just a scapegoat in name only, a reason for them to exploit the people and fight against the court. Therefore, they are inherently weak and cannot really do it for Sun Quan.

Go and fight life and death, especially in Jiangdong's war of external expansion.

To put it simply, it's not that Zhu Zhi and others are not interested in foreign wars, but they have no courage. When they have an advantage, they will of course flock to them. When they want to chew bones with great strength, they are not willing to risk their teeth.

Yan Yan listened on the sidelines and was deeply touched.

The top and bottom cannot work together. This phenomenon has occurred not once or twice in Sichuan and Sichuan.

When Liu Yan was still alive, he valued the people of Dongzhou and despised the people of Sichuan. After Liu Zhang came to power, he was also very wary of the people of Sichuan. Only after Fei sneaked into Sichuan and Shu, he only considered talents regardless of his origin...



Things like family background are determined at birth and cannot be changed, but personal talents are developed later in life. In comparison, of course, only those with outstanding talents who can handle big tasks will be convincing.

"So, Jiangdong is going to withdraw its troops?" Yan Yan asked.

Zhuge Liang nodded, then shook his head, "Before retreating, Jiangdong will have another fierce attack..."

"One more time?" Yan Yan frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded, "I understand..."





"Dong! Dong! Dong dong dong..."

Above the river, war drums were beating loudly.

As Zhuge expected, Zhu Zhi did not meet with Zhuge to negotiate terms, nor did he say anything about Zhu Ran's terms. He just asked people to beat the war drums early the next day to gather the generals.

Zhu Zhi stood high on the warship, facing the Jiangdong soldiers below.

The red and black cloak fluttered in the river wind, like blood about to solidify.

Zhu Zhi looked solemn.

The drumming gradually stopped, and only the sound of scales and the gurgling of the river were heard.

Zhu Zhi looked around slowly, then grabbed his hand on the railing and said in a deep voice:

"Alas! We, the children of Jiangdong, have inherited the destiny of Heaven to conquer Sichuan and Sichuan!"

"Today the emperor has issued an edict, and Sichuan and Shu are rebelling against each other! It is a God-given opportunity to resume this battle. We must work hard to repay the lord's kindness and serve as the emperor of Han Dynasty, regardless of our own lives!"

"In the past, Sun Tzu said, "Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival." What is happening today is a battle of life and death. If you take a step forward, you can go straight to Sichuan and Shu. If you take a step back,

That’s all your previous efforts in vain!』

"Although the city of Yufu has an advantageous location, water warfare is not its strong point. We are accustomed to the water like fish, and we live in boats. We travel freely on the river, how can we allow the soldiers of Sichuan and Shu to run rampant?"

"Everyone, please don't have two minds and don't be afraid of strong enemies. We just need to work together and be sincere, and the gold and stone will be opened. Today's battle is the time for us to make achievements! This battle will definitely defeat Sichuan and Shu, and revitalize the country."

My reputation in Jiangdong will bring peace to heaven and earth!"

"Our honor and disgrace rest in one fell swoop! Our loyalty will be revealed to future generations! Our ambition will be transformed into the force of long winds and waves, destroy this fish, and march straight to Chengdu!"

"How can we, the heroes of Jiangdong, allow thieves to run rampant?"

"How can we, hot-blooded men, bring down the world?"

"This battle of Yufu is not a battle of one person, but a battle of Jiangdong for eternity!"

"We shall use our journey as warriors from the east of the Yangtze River to let the world know the power of the east of the Yangtze River!"

"Drumming! Go to war!"

"We will win!"

"Koto will win!!"

At the end of the shout, Zhu Zhi raised his hands, and his black and red cloak was lifted up, like waves of blood rippling out.

The soldiers and generals from Jiangdong shouted in unison.

"We must win! We must win!"

"Koto must win!"

The sound waves were higher and higher, unfolding layer by layer on the river surface, like ripples hitting the stone walls of Jiajiang River, and then swinging back again, stimulating the blood of the soldiers of Jiangdong Military Academy.

At least at the moment, they felt that they were really fighting for Jiangdong, the Emperor of Han, and justice in this world.

"Oh oh oh ヾ(°°)##......"

"Must win!"

"Get out of the battle!"

War drums roar.

The flag is waving.

Zhu Zhi ordered all Jiangdong soldiers to send troops across the board.

The Jiangdong soldiers on land attacked Yufushan City.

Jiangdong's ships in the river attacked Yufu Island City and Yufu Water Village.

Jiang Dongbing was like a wasp whose nest was stabbed viciously. He rushed out of the nest with a buzzing sound, divided into two groups, water and land, and pounced on the fish!

Soon, the two sides clashed.

Jiang Dongbing suddenly became as powerful as a rainbow, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Injecting chicken blood will make people excited and radiant. This is not because the chicken blood is so powerful, but because the body detects the invasion of foreign bodies, viruses and bacteria, and begins to tap its own potential as much as possible, consuming its own energy to fight against foreign enemies. In this process

, the human body will feel that some pains are slowed down or disappeared, but this does not mean that the original symptoms are eliminated, but that in the face of a more ferocious emergency invasion, all original conflicts can be temporarily put aside...

Compared with the crazy Jiangdong soldiers, the momentum of the Sichuan-Shu army was obviously much weaker.

On the other side of Yufu Island City, Wu Ban shouted and cut down the Jiangdong soldiers who rushed up.

Large and small ships from the east of the Yangtze River surged up and stood together with Gan and Ning's navy.

At the mountain city, Yan Yan led his soldiers to intercept the Jiangdong soldiers rushing towards the city wall.

On one side of the battlefield, General Jiangdong's battleship was slowly moving forward, seemingly out of urgency for the war.

"Jiangdong Army is bluffing!"

Wu Ban yelled.

"Drive them down, and the hussars will win!"

Gan Ning kicked over the Jiangdong sailor who climbed up.

"Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!"

Yan Yan shouted loudly and rushed towards the Jiangdong soldiers who were rushing forward.

Looking over the entire battlefield, the entire front line of the Sichuan-Shu Army seemed a little thin.

The island city, the mountain city, and the water village were like three huge sugar cubes, attracting the densely packed Jiangdong soldiers, as if they wanted to surround them, nibble them off bit by bit, and swallow them into their bellies.

The first thing that couldn't hold on was Gan Ning's navy.

Gan Ning's navy itself has a smaller number of soldiers, and compared with Jiangdong's navy, there is still a certain gap in skill training. Normally, its performance is not very obvious, but when the battle suddenly becomes fierce, this kind of

The gap will widen under pressure.

With the sound of water, Gan Ning turned around and saw that the Jiangdong Army had separated out a fleet of several ships, led by a large ship, and was bypassing the fighting area, trying to outflank Gan Ning's defense line.

"Send the order quickly! Have someone stop them!" Gan Ning shouted.

"General! We have no reserves!" the soldiers on the side responded.

Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "Then let's go!"

Immediately, Gan Ning ordered the ships he was riding on to turn to attack.

The entire Sichuan-Sichuan navy's front line has been stretched again, looking even thinner, and there is a risk of being broken through by the Jiangdong navy at any time.

Faping, who was standing next to Zhuge Liang on the mountain city, seemed a little nervous. He held his hands together to control his trembling hands. He didn't know why Zhuge Liang said that Jiangdong would be defeated before, but now he can only

I believe Zhuge Liang must have his reasons for saying this...

Zhuge Liang glanced at Faping sideways, smiled and said, "Don't panic, Jiangdong Army is bluffing."

"Bluffing?" Faping didn't believe it.

Such a huge and violent attack is called a bluff?

"They are preparing to retreat." Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "But it is obviously unjustifiable to go this way...so we must have a big fight...and then some people will die...and some people will be injured..."

"What?" Faping's hands stopped shaking now, and his mind was mobilized by Zhuge Liang, "Engage, what you said...is this for...deaths and injuries?"

Zhuge Liang nodded.

Faping looked at the Jiangdong soldiers surging wildly in the mountain city, the island city, and the water village, and then swallowed his saliva, "This... the person who is engaged is Zhu Junli..."

After all, Zhu Zhi is the governor of Jiangdong, how could he do such a thing?

In order to retreat, Jiang Dongbing was deliberately allowed to die?

Zhuge Liang moved his eyebrows slightly, glanced towards the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, then turned his head and looked at the position of Zhu Zhi's command tower ship, "Did you see it?"

"What?" Faping asked.

"Zhu Junli's central army actually did not dispatch many soldiers..." Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand and pointed, "The soldiers in the central army are the troops directly under Zhu Junli. They are almost intact... but the casualties are other Jiangdong soldiers..."

"Ah?" Faping looked in the direction of Zhuge Liang's finger.

Among the chaotic movements of Jiangdong soldiers, if you don't pay attention to observe, it is indeed difficult to distinguish the specific movements of Jiangdong soldiers, but as long as you pay attention, it will be obvious...

It's like a fiber hair under the tempered film of a mobile phone. It's mostly invisible inside, but once you notice it, you can see it every day. You can't wait to tear off the tempered film and put another one on it.

Although Zhu Zhi's Chinese army also marched forward and backward, they would stop after charging for a while, then go back and start again. It looked like many people were dispatched to attack together with other divisions. In fact,

It's just standing still and shouting slogans.

At the same time, Zhu Zhi seemed to be attracted by the war, and seemed to be worried about the sluggish frontline attack. Zhu Zhi even led the Chinese army to the forefront position that he had never reached before...

On the Yufu Mountain City, Zhuge Liang looked at Zhu Zhi's flagship and moved forward slowly, showing a knowing smile. He couldn't help but sigh, "Zhu Junli, what a wonderful man! Come, General Zhu."

Haosheng brought him to the city..."
