The Wu army is constantly attacking Jiangling City. At night, there are fires outside Jiangling City, and it is illuminated like day. The catapults continue to bombard the city wall. However, this time, the infantry of the Wu army did not attack the city, but continued a single attack.
Attack with catapults.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Loud noises kept ringing in Zhuge Jin's ears. Everyone hid behind the battlements, with stone debris flying above their heads. Every time the city wall was hit, there would be a slight tremor. This was not seen during the day.
.
"Grand Governor! The general requested to go out of the city to fight to the death with the Wu army!" Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore. One hundred thousand soldiers and horses in the city were sitting there waiting to be killed. It was indeed not a glorious thing to spread the news.
Zhuge Jin took a look at the visitor and saw that the visitor was only seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and burly, with a Chinese character face and a mustache. He was General Yamen Fu Tong. He shook his head, sighed, and said: "Wu Junbing
There are many generals, but our army has no good generals. We cannot go out of the city to fight, so it is better to hold on to the city."
Fu Tong paid homage and said: "Master Governor, the Wu army has many generals, and our army is not mediocre. Although the last general is not as brave as ten thousand men, he is willing to lead an army and horse out of the city to fight to the death with the Wu people. I also ask the Governor to make it complete."
.”
The soldiers in Jiangling City were all newly recruited by the Han Dynasty in the past five years. They were all soldiers brought out by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Young men are not afraid of tigers since they were born. After guarding the city for a day, all the soldiers in the city were exhausted. Many of them had already
I couldn't stand it any longer. As soon as Fu Tong asked for orders, many young officers surrounding Zhuge Jin began to shout, shouting that they wanted to go out of the city and fight to the death with the Wu army.
Seeing this scene, Zhuge Jin seemed to have seen a sense of hope. He looked around and shouted: "Are you really going to go out of the city to fight the enemy?"
"Please do it, Commander-in-Chief!" Fu Tong and others replied in unison.
"Aren't you afraid of hardships and dangers and not afraid of death?"
"We are willing to issue a military order! We will not break out the enemy's camp and will never return it!" Fu Tong took the lead and said.
Zhuge Jin said happily: "This is the moment I have been waiting for. General Fu, I will promote you to General Polu and lead an army of five thousand to fight out from the east gate. The Wu army expected that our army would not have many good generals and would not dare to go out of the city to fight. This time Fu
When the general leaves the city, he will definitely be caught off guard."
After saying this, Zhuge Jin immediately went to the military camp in person, selected five thousand men who dared to die, and gave Fu Tong and others the most sophisticated secret equipment in stock in Jiangling City, so that Fu Tong and others could wear them. After a full meal, they took a short rest.
, and asked Fu Tong to gather at the east gate with five thousand cavalry, waiting for orders.
At the same time, Zhuge Jin sent three generals to attack from the south gate, north gate, and west gate at the same time, each leading 10,000 horse infantry.
Outside Jiangling City, Zhou Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Wu Army, was watching the battle. Seeing the catapults continuously hitting the east gate, and the outer perimeter of the city wall being smashed to pieces, he laughed, thinking that after a while, the real attack could be launched.
The general attack.
Suddenly, a horse galloped up and rushed to Zhou Yu's side. He shouted loudly: "Captain, the Han army has left the city. They fought out from the south gate, west gate, and north gate respectively. With great momentum, they attacked the camp outside the three gates.
Generals, please ask the Governor for orders..."
"Out of the city? Apart from Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tian Yu, and Yan Yan, there are no generals in the Han army. How could they go out of the city to launch an attack?" Zhou Yu was also surprised. Ever since the spies discovered that Zhuge Jin generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei
After his family sent him away, Zhou Yu had already made a plan for today.
At this time, the atmosphere he had created for the whole day was completely disrupted, because he transferred all his troops to the east gate. This is why he kept using catapults to attack the east gate. Outside the other three gates
There are only one or two thousand troops left in the camp. Facing the attack of the Han army, it will definitely be difficult.
He made a decisive decision and immediately ordered: "Pan Zhang, Dong Xi, Jiang Qin, follow the order!"
"The last general is here!" Pan Zhang, Dong Xi, and Jiang Qin shouted in unison.
"I order the three of you to lead five thousand men and horses each to support the three camps, and you must repel the Han army. It is very likely that the Han army wants to defeat them to the death, and you must not let them break out and force them back into the city!"
"promise!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three generals Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang, and Dong Xi immediately led their troops to rush to rescue the three city gates.
Although Zhou Yu used 150,000 troops to siege the city this time, in his estimation, 50,000 troops could capture Jiangling City, so the number of troops he used was actually only 50,000, and the remaining 100,000 were used to build up his momentum.
In Jiangling City, Zhuge Jin returned to the east gate and saw that the Wu army had begun to mobilize troops. He immediately went downstairs and said to Fu Tong: "General Fu, please leave everything alone. Don't worry about the soldiers and horses on the two wings. Go directly to where Zhou Yu is.
As long as Zhou Yu's central army retreats, the command on both wings will fail!"
Fu Tong nodded, hugged Zhuge Jin on horseback, and said, "No!"
"Open the city gate and lower the suspension bridge!" Zhuge Jin immediately ordered.
Following Zhuge Jin's order, the soldiers opened the city gate first, and then lowered the suspension bridge. Once the suspension bridge was lowered, Fu Tong and other five thousand cavalry rushed out from the city gate in a mighty manner and rushed towards Zhou Yu's
Chinese Army.
Zhou Yu was watching the battle when he suddenly saw soldiers and horses coming out of the east gate. He sneered and said, "So that's it. Zhuge Jin seems to be quite skillful in using troops. However, it's a pity that this is the focus of my attack.
We have 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the 100,000 troops behind us are as solid as a rock. How can we do anything but a few thousand cavalry? Ling Cao, Chen Wu!"
"The end is here!"
"Each led eight hundred crossbowmen, scattered on the left and right wings, to shoot at the enemy's horses!"
"No!" Ling Cao and Chen Wu happily accepted the order and led their troops to separate sides.
Song Qian, who was on the left wing, and He Qi, who was on the right wing, saw Fu Tong rushing out with five thousand cavalry. They both sneered, thinking how could such a small number of people be Wu Jun's opponent, so they sent someone to ask for orders from the Chinese army Zhou Yu.
.
Zhou Yu believed that the Chinese army had the strength to deal with these five thousand cavalry, so he rejected Song Qian's and He Qi's suggestions and asked them to only watch the battle on the two wings and recharge their batteries, because they would be the main force when attacking the city.
Xu Sheng and Ding Feng were in the rear army. When they heard that the Han army was leaving the city, they all rode their horses to the central army. When they saw Zhou Yu, they asked for orders to fight.
Zhou Yu still rejected it, leaving Xu Sheng to guard him and letting Ding Feng go back to suppress the battle.
While talking, Fu Tong and others rushed over. Ling Cao and Chen Wu immediately led the crossbowmen to shoot at the Han army's horses.
At one time, thousands of crossbow arrows were fired at the horses of the Han army. Fu Tong and others were all willing to die, without the slightest fear. Fu Tong led a thousand cavalry in the front army and managed to escape, while the four thousand cavalry behind him were lucky enough to escape.
Everyone fell on their backs. However, the four thousand cavalrymen did not panic once they fell off their horses. Instead, they held their weapons and ran forward quickly. The running speed was extremely amazing. Following Fu Tong, there was a huge difference.
Not far.
Zhou Yu was surprised when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that there were people in the Han army who were so good at running. They could be compared with the army composed of Shanyue people he recruited. However, he was still full of confidence and did not show any signs of running.
Keep these people in mind.
At this time, Fu Tong's cavalry team was about to gallop towards the front army. The crossbowmen of the front army suddenly fired thousands of arrows, specifically to shoot at the horses of Fu Tong and others.
"Herod..."
The horses let out a series of mournful cries, arrows penetrated their bodies, and blood flowed across their bodies. Some of the horses were injured and continued to run forward. When dozens of arrows hit their bodies, the horses finally couldn't resist the pain and fell to the ground.
Fu Tong and others had been prepared for a long time. The moment the horse fell to the ground, they immediately jumped off the horse to avoid falling to the ground. As soon as they landed, they immediately took out the flying equipment from their waists.
The swords were fired at Wu Jun's crossbowmen one after another. For a moment, the cold light pierced Wu Jun's throat, and all the crossbowmen in the front row of the front army were killed.
However, the Han army's counterattack did not end there. After the seven flying knives each person was equipped with were fired, they immediately took out the weapons from their waists, stretched their left hands to their backs, and with a strong tug, they pulled away the round sword that had been carried on their backs for a long time.
He took out the shield-shaped shield, holding the shield in one hand and a shining saber in the other, quickly formed a line of defense, and quickly rushed towards Wu Jun's front army.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."
Countless arrows were shot at Fu Tong and a thousand people, but they were blocked by a thousand shields in their hands. At this time, Fu Tong and others approached Wu Jun's front army. Only then did the people in the front army see Fu Tong clearly.
What Tong and others were wearing was not armor, but armor made entirely of rattan. Their whole bodies were wrapped in that layer of rattan armor, and arrows shot at them were unable to penetrate.
"boom!"
Fu Tong and other thousand vine-armored soldiers quickly rushed into Wu Jun's front army, raising their swords and dropping their swords. All the Wu Jun's crossbowmen fell to the ground, and blood spurted out and spread all over the ground.
The four thousand soldiers behind Fu Tong who lost their horses saw Fu Tong and others rushing over, and they all fought bravely. The crossbow arrows fired by the crossbowmen on both wings were unable to penetrate their armor. The crossbow arrows
Once it hit the rattan armor they were wearing, it was immediately bounced away, surprising Ling Cao and Chen Wu.
At the same time, two thousand of the four thousand soldiers immediately rushed towards Ling Cao. Chen Wu's two wings were protected by rattan plates and rattan armor. They clenched the sabers in their hands. Once they rushed forward, they immediately killed Wu Jun.
Crying for father and mother.
Ling Cao, Chen Wu and others also raised their weapons to attack, but for some reason, their weapons could not penetrate the layer of vine armor on the Han army. In desperation, they just fled in all directions.
Zhou Yu was riding on horseback and saw that Fu Tong and others were unstoppable, and the armor they were wearing was only made of rattan. How could it be that arrows could not be penetrated, knives could not cut, and spears could not pierce.
He couldn't help being surprised when he saw that the soldiers he had arranged were scattered by Fu Tong and others. The weapons in Wu Jun's hands lost their effect, so they hugged the enemy and struggled into a ball, but they were injured by the enemy's weapons.
In this short time, the Wu army lost more than 2,000 people.
Only at this moment did he realize that this group of people was not cavalry at all, but infantry. The war horses were just a tool to send these five thousand people to the front line. The purpose was to let this group of people disrupt his central army.
