Xu Huang was not scared off by Jieyi and the Bodhisattva. This was as expected by Zhou Yu. After all, he was a battle-hardened general and could not be so unbearable. However, Zhou Yu's goal was achieved.
Xu Huang did not see that Zhou Yu's fleet was bluffing. In fact, there seemed to be many ships, but there were not many soldiers in them. If he wanted to attack by force, he would probably have to pay a heavy price even if he won. Xu Huang was not proficient after all.
Zhou Yu, a general in the water battle, successfully obscured Xu Huang's sight and mobilized the soldiers and horses of Liling and Pengze cities with one move.
After Li Ling and Peng Ze received Xu Huang's request for help, 20% of the guards did not dare to neglect and quickly sent troops to Chaisang to support. Peng Ze, the city guard general, is a seventh-grade military general, a direct descendant of Qingtian City, and the one who built Baizhan Tower.
He joined Qingtian City at the beginning. Although he was not very powerful and had potential like Jiang Jin, he was a steady man and accumulated military exploits step by step. Now he has also taken the position of captain. If this battle is over, he will probably be Peng Ze.
County lieutenant, guard general of a city.
He also knew his own abilities and never thought about competing with Xu Huang for credit. On the contrary, he supported Xu Huang very much because he knew that only by following capable people could he obtain more military achievements. Xu Huang was appointed by the lord.
, let him lead the army alone against all opinions, and by following him, at least he will not suffer any loss.
As we approached Chaisang, the road gradually became a little winding and difficult to navigate, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in my heart.
"Stop~..."
"General, ten miles away is Chaisang. Aren't we going to rescue Chaisang?..." A captain looked at the general in confusion and asked.
Looking around, he didn't find anything possible, but there was a strong sense of crisis in his heart. Generally, military generals will have this special feeling before a crisis comes. When marching and fighting, the most taboo thing is to waver. Most military generals
I will use my reason to overcome this problem.
But this military commander is different." Starting from the lowest level of the corps commander, this feeling has saved him countless times. He is very dependent on this feeling, so when he feels something is wrong, he immediately chooses to stop moving forward.
The general frowned, looked ahead, and said in a deep voice: "Detour..."
"Ah..." The captain looked at the general with a troubled face. This is the only way to go to Chaisang. If you want to take a detour, you will have to travel at least twice as long.
"Stop talking nonsense!" The general glared, turned his horse's head and was about to leave.
In a forest, looking at the Qingtian Army that was about to arrive here, Zhu Zhi had a ferocious murderous intent on his face, and the murderous intent in his body continued to gather. "Seeing that the opponent was about to enter the ambush circle, he suddenly found that the opponent had turned around, and suddenly
My heart was as uncomfortable as eating ten flies. At this time, my murderous aura had reached its peak. How could I let the other party run away? I immediately roared: "Kill!".
"Kill~".
Countless enemy soldiers suddenly appeared on the mountain roads on both sides. Many Qingtian City soldiers were nailed to the ground by a hail of arrows before they had time to react.
"Line up to meet the enemy!..." Under the admiring gaze of the captain, the former general turned around and shouted sternly.
"Wow!" The eight thousand troops formed a formation under the command of the general. The swordsman and shieldman stood the big shield behind them on the ground to block more arrows from the opponent. The archers immediately launched a counterattack.
An ambush turned into an encounter. The two armies fought to the death on the not-so-wide official road. Zhu Zhi's eyes were red, staring at the opponent's general, flying out of the horse, and slashing several spears that were stabbing him.
Cut off, the war horse slammed into the sword and shield hand's shield with unparalleled impact. The huge impact directly knocked the two sword and shield hand away, and the crowd behind was knocked into pieces.
"Thief general" shall die!" Zhu Zhi roared angrily, and the broadsword rolled, dancing with countless clouds of swords, and "everywhere it passed was like chopping waves."
The military general narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the shocking momentum of the enemy general in front of him. "He was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the opponent's army had such a fierce general. His momentum was only comparable to that of a few leading generals in Qingtian City.
He stretched out his hand to stop the captain who was about to rush out, took off the steel bow on his horse, put a wolf tooth arrow as thick as his thumb on the bow string, and stared coldly at Zhu Zhi, who was running rampant in the battle formation. After Zhu Zhi's repeated
Under the rule of charge, the army was already showing signs of collapse.
Zhu Zhi, who was charging to kill, suddenly felt a cold murderous intention sweeping over him. He quickly looked back and saw the local general aiming a bow and arrow at him. He was startled and subconsciously dodged sideways.
"Buzz~..."
The wolf-fang arrow came out of the string, cracking the air, and roaring with a strong wind. Zhu Zhi dodged to avoid it, but he did not feel the feeling of the arrow passing by him. Just as he was confused, the war horse under his crotch
Suddenly there was a miserable hiss, and the man stood up. A wolf-tooth arrow pierced deeply into the neck of the war horse, and blood continued to spurt out.
Zhu Zhi was very skilled. The moment he discovered that his horse was hit by an arrow, he slapped the horse's belly with one hand and leaped up. He was in the air and slashed with his broadsword. Several Qingtian City soldiers who stepped forward to add insult to injury were directly cut in half.
After breaking, he took the opportunity to land on the ground, stood firm, and cut in half a sneak attack general with a backhand knife.
However, as Zhu Zhi fell from his horse, the mighty momentum of the Sun family's troops could not help but stagnate, and the leading general shouted sharply: "Kill!".
"Kill!." The morale of the Qingtian City soldiers soared, and they roared and charged bravely. Zhu Zhi's troops began to retreat step by step.
He stared hard at the military general, not expecting that he would capsize in the ditch and be defeated by a seventh-grade military general. With a strong sense of unwillingness, Zhu Zhi roared: "Retreat!".
What Zhu Zhi brought were all the elites of the Sun family. Although they were not many in number, they were well-trained and could advance and retreat in a measured manner. Even when they retreated, they were still in an orderly manner, making it difficult for people to start. Zhu Zhi personally suppressed the formation and blocked the enemy troops that came up.
Behead.
"Stop the pursuit, count the losses, and quickly rush to Chai Sang's aid..." The military commander said in a deep voice, clearly sensing Chai Sang's situation.
In this battle, Zhu Zhi lost hundreds of soldiers and horses, but Qingtian City lost nearly twice as many soldiers and horses. After the first battle, only more than 6,400 people were left out of the 8,000 troops led by this general.
This journey was unsuccessful, but another 7,000 reinforcements sent from Liling were successfully ambushed by Sun's famous general Xu Huan. Almost all the 7,000 troops were wiped out, and the leading general was beheaded by Xu Hun himself.
Xu Hun took the opportunity to follow the defeated army to the foot of Liling City, broke through the city gate in one fell swoop, occupied Liling, and cut off Xu Huang's return route.
In Chaisang City, Xu Huang couldn't help but feel heavy when looking at the army that had obviously just experienced a fierce battle. The fall of Liling made Xu Huang feel heavy. He looked at the general in front of him and asked in a deep voice: "What's your name?"
.”.
"Return to the general, the last general will temporarily lead the Pengze County Lieutenant, Lin Yi!" The seventh-level general who had repelled Zhu Zhi flashed a joyful look in his eyes and bowed quickly.
"Well done. From today onwards, you will stay in the city temporarily and fight against the enemy with me. After the war, I will ask my lord for credit!" Xu Huang nodded and said in a deep voice.
Xu Huang nodded and stopped talking. Instead, he looked carefully at Zhou Yu's layout on the river. Hundreds of warships swam on the Ge River, but they never attacked the city. Xu Huang felt a little uneasy. The fall of Liling also made Xu Huang feel a little uneasy.
Xu Huang felt an uneasy feeling in his heart. Now there was only one Pengze city left. He must not make any mistakes. He quickly sent people to Pengze, notified Naoze, and asked for reinforcements from other cities. Now Pengze defenders brought half a cup to Lin Yi.
Here, although Lin Yi defeated Zhu Zhi, there is no guarantee that Sun will make the next move.
"The ambush failed?..." Looking at Zhu Zhi who looked embarrassed, a flash of surprise flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes: "Could there be other famous generals here in Qingtian City?".
Zhu Zhi's face flushed red, his head buried low, and he said guiltily: "The one who defeated the last general was not a famous general, but a seventh-grade general..." After saying this, Zhu Zhi was almost ashamed.
He was also a famous third-grade general, but now his whereabouts were discovered by a small seventh-grade general in Qingtian City, and he was even repelled by the opponent. Not only did he lose his troops, but he also lost his beloved horse, which made him feel extremely embarrassed.
"Seventh rank?." Sun Ce's eyes suddenly widened. He knew Zhu Zhi's strength very well. Now he had suffered a big loss at the hands of a small seventh-rank general. He wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.
"Young Lord, please punish me!" Zhu Zhi lowered his head. If there were any cracks in the ground, he would have liked to get right into it.
"Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. A king is eager for revenge, so he will inevitably be impetuous. It is understandable that he will make mistakes..." Sun Ce also knew that his tone was a bit hurtful, so he quickly waved his hand and helped Zhu Zhidao.
Zhou Yu nodded. Now that the battle is imminent, Zhu Zhi is a general in the army and cannot be punished. He thought for a while and said: "Although we failed to capture Pengze, it does not affect the overall situation. It is just that Xu Huang may have left. Send an order to prepare to attack the city."
!".
The Jingnan army finally started to move. Xu Huang was on the top of the city, looking at the boats that were slowly setting up the crossbows to break the city. He felt relieved in his heart. The unknown even made people panic. The other party clearly showed their vehicles and horses. Such psychological pressure.
On the contrary, it will be weakened a lot.
"Boom boom~".
Hundreds of city-breaking crossbows struck the city tower fiercely with the power of shattering the heaven and earth. The two arrow towers were directly blown off by the roaring giant arrows. The archers above danced and danced with the bombardment of the arrow towers.
It screamed and fell downwards. On the top of the city, Xu Huang ordered people to use city-breaking crossbows to fight back, but for some reason, his own city-breaking crossbow seemed not to have as far a shooting range as the opponent's city-breaking crossbow.
It was offset a lot by the air, making it difficult to cause substantial damage. On the other hand, the opponent obviously did not occupy the position on the terrain, but the power of the city-breaking crossbow was much greater than our own.
"Puff~puff~".
A giant arrow penetrated from behind the city wall stacks, and the two soldiers were caught off guard. They were strung up one after another, screamed in agony, and were nailed to the tower behind them.
"General, our city-breaking crossbow can't hurt the opponent at all!" Han Kai flew to Xu Huang's side and said anxiously.
Xu Huang frowned slightly and squinted his eyes to look down. The city-breaking crossbows continued to pour towards the city with terrifying power, but the opponent's warships had no intention of landing on the shore. An ominous premonition suddenly arose in Xu Huang's heart.
