28. The way to become a strong man in the Battle of Sishui Pass
"Chen Liu, Li Zhuo and Li Buqun are here!"
With an angry shout, Sun Jianjun's flow of people that was pouring into the pass came to an abrupt halt in an instant. Then with a scream of pain, the originally smooth flow of people was completely divided into two groups, inside and outside.
Of course, the outer skin of the rock that separates Sun Jianjun is also fiery red.
"Reinforcements will be arriving soon."
Seeing the confusion and uneasiness in the eyes of Sun Jianjun's soldiers, and hearing the shouts and killing sounds of the Xuanmenguan defenders who were still resisting Sun Jianjun's attack, Li Zhuo couldn't help but add another voice, on the one hand, he wanted to boost the morale of the defenders.
In addition, it allows the nearby defenders to gather together to form a greater force. On the other hand, it attracts Sun Jian's army soldiers to attack here and relieves the pressure on the defenders in other directions.
The sudden appearance of Li Zhuo and his troops dealt another blow to the morale of Sun Jianjun, who had not yet fully recovered. Of course, even if the morale of the defenders was high, Sun Jianjun's morale was extremely low, and he could still only make do with it.
Maintain balance of power.
Not to mention that such an ideal situation is impossible for Sun Jian and his several lieutenants who have basically freed up their hands. Even if they don't say anything, as long as they fight in the somewhat panicked team, the soldiers in that area will immediately
Peng's morale soared.
Thus, a new round of confrontation of wills began. One side is like a rock under a waterfall, no matter how rough the waves hit the shore, it will not move. The other side is like Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and Han, who are like other princes.
Under the leadership of an outstanding general who must be the best in the army, he launched a continuous wave of attacks like an endless wave of waves.
It can be said that the war has reached a critical node at this point - either Sun Jian's army breaks through the blockage of the city gate, then the morale of the remaining defenders may collapse as a result. Or Li Zhuo and others are firmly locked in
Here, Sun Jian's army, having lost precious time, had nothing else to think about except figuring out how to remain defeated when reinforcements arrived.
At this time, Li Zhuo and the soldiers around him could only form a small circular formation and stick to their spot. Facing the tide of the Great Wall of flesh and blood, human strength would always be unsustainable after a few hours.
The bravery of Sun Jianjun's soldiers, who were also in a desperate situation, shocked Li Zhuo and others. Often when they picked off a soldier, the dying opponent would press his entire body on the expanding wound, causing the weapon to lose its attack.
Ability, and then other soldiers could take the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow. Therefore, the surviving soldiers of the Xiliang Army could almost only use the weapons in their hands to chop and smash.
Although it was difficult for the speed and strength of ordinary Sun Jian's soldiers to cause serious damage to the gradually solidified circular formation, the numerous small bleeding wounds were still destroying the passion and will of the defenders.
The passage of time consumes their vitality like water drops, and the strength is far away from their increasingly tired bodies. Every simple swing of the weapon begins to be as heavy as a mountain. In comparison, the physical strength of Sun Jianjun's soldiers in the band attack is much better.
.
Of course, what made them even more desperate was that the actions of the city defenders trying to get closer to them were like floods rushing up the unmoving green hills. Apart from breaking into tiny water flakes, only the green hills became more and more towering.
body.
But the most tragic among them is undoubtedly our Li Zhuo children's shoes.
"What's the matter? You don't have any strength like this. Isn't that look in your eyes just now very nice? Don't be a guy who only talks big words. The men I like, Mr. Huang, don't have only this kind of ability!"
Looking at the young man in front of him who he had fought with before, Huang Gai felt somewhat uncomfortable.
The other party is an excellent talent with great potential. Huang Gai fully agrees with Sun Jian's evaluation of Li Zhuo, not only because of his hearty confrontations with him again and again, but also because of the other party's excellent learning ability - no matter the art of war or martial arts.
, although his understanding ability cannot be said to be top-notch, at least his understanding of martial arts is no less than that of Han Dang, and his ability to understand marching formations is even more comparable to that of his admired lord Sun Jian.
For such a talent, and such a young one with potential, Huang Gai naturally couldn't bear to have him buried with Dong Zhuo, a big tree that was destined to be chopped down by the princes. Unfortunately, his recruitment only received the other's cold eyes.
Huang Gai didn't understand, really didn't understand, so his attacks were not only ruthless towards the enemy, but also filled with unyielding resentment. Of course, if it were Sun Jian, he would probably be able to understand Li Zhuo by then
This feeling now.
Faced with the seemingly crazy Huang Gai after a long period of physical exertion, the gap between Li Zhuo and Huang Gai, who originally had a certain gap in martial arts, has widened even further.
When Sun Jian and others were sparring, they were used to fighting with the weak against the strong. Li Zhuo really didn't know that his perspective would become God's perspective and he would see his ugly body at the same time.
But even so, Li Zhuo felt like a small boat in the angry waves.
With his back against the wall of the city gate passage, Li Zhuo knew that he could not go on like this, otherwise he would no longer be able to persevere. So he finally chose to muster up all the remaining strength in his body to hold Huang Gai's iron whip with a horizontal knife.
Seeing that his opponent finally chose to confront him head-on, Huang Gai knew that the opponent was probably almost at the end of his life. He grinned ferociously and tried to press his whole body up, as if he wanted to use this method to declare Li Zhuo's weakness and mistake.
Unfortunately, just when Huang Gai thought he had a chance to win, his majestic body suddenly flew up.
"When you have time, remember to practice some boxing and kicking skills to save your life."
Huang Gai, who was flying in the air, suddenly remembered what Sun Jian had said to him with a smile after a martial arts competition. Of course, Sun Jian had also said the same thing to Li Zhuo, and before saying these words, Li Zhuo's body had also been like this
He has flown through the air like this now.
Was it careless after all?
The injury to Huang Gai, who was firmly caught by his bodyguard as he fell, was not too serious, but his heart was somewhat hit. Looking at the figure not far away who was re-wrapped by the red figure, he could only look at it occasionally.
Huang Gai, who had calmed down when he saw the young man, was filled with sourness and helplessness.
Is it worth it to have to sacrifice so many good men for the sake of some people's ambitions?
It's a pity that Huang Gai is just a soldier, not a philosopher, so those thoughts only appeared in his mind and were driven out of his mind after a while. He is a soldier, and his only mission is to obey orders.
It’s better not to think about it.
At this time, Huang Gai's defeat on the battlefield did not bring any improvement to the defenders. After just killing three soldiers, Li Zhuo felt that the strength he had secretly recovered with great difficulty had returned to the state before the battle with Huang Gai. He breathed heavily.
, his mouth was dry and his tongue was dry, he felt like stars were shining in his eyes, and the dagger in his hand that was originally relatively light now seemed as heavy as a steel gun.
But just when he was thinking about whether he should retract inside the circle to paddle for a while, the waves that were rushing towards him suddenly stopped, as if the sea that was raging one moment had turned into a roaring sea the next moment.
With the wind and sunshine on the lake surface, this contrast made Li Zhuo feel like his brain couldn't understand it. But no matter what, let's take the opportunity to recover his physical strength first.
But before Li Zhuo could regain some strength, the joy that had crept onto his face turned into helplessness. He saw the originally crowded soldiers retreating and making way. There was only one figure on that path.
The red-banded silver armor and the cold light of the ancient ingot sword shone brightly against the torch. The figure with a heavy back and a heavy waist was so familiar to Li Zhuo.
It turns out that Sun Jian was planning to fight me personally, and he chose the timing really well.
Li Zhuo could only smile bitterly in his heart for this master who had to use military tactics even in a duel.
Sure enough, Sun Jian's steady steps carried astonishing power, and the "thumping" footsteps repeatedly destroyed Li Zhuo's nerves. Sun Jian was undoubtedly very good at using various situations to attack his enemies, making his own advantage even greater.
.So even when it seemed like he was sure of victory, he still did not forget to create a situation that was more favorable to him.
Of course, Li Zhuo believes that the more important reason for this is that Huang Gai's loss just now because he underestimated the enemy made Sun Jian, who might have underestimated the enemy, become completely serious. If Sun Jian was also defeated by him, then this battle might be over.
It might end here.
"Dong Zhuo has no virtue. Even though he is exhausted and unable to do anything, he still has to be loyal to him?"
Although Sun Jian's eloquence is not much better than that of Huang Gai, his timing is just right. The intention of persuading him to surrender is clear in his words, and he also attacks the opponent's mind. If his physical strength is severely exhausted and failure seems to be a foregone conclusion, should he be completely stupid?
Where is loyalty? After all
It seems that Li Zhuo belongs to the system of the Northern Army. In other words, he is recognized by the princes as "one of our own". Even if he once missed the team, if he can have the credit of "offering the pass" and Sun Jian
The coalition forces should be happy to accept the evidence.
The most important thing is that Sun Jian's words immediately made the Xiliang soldiers behind Li Zhuo become nervous. Those unyielding eyes shot straight at Li Zhuo's back. It can be said that as long as Li Zhuo showed a slight wavering, even if he finally refused.
Sun Jian's proposal would probably make it difficult for Li Zhuo and the Xiliang troops to unite in the next battle.
This kind of conspiracy to kill two birds with one stone made Li Zhuo feel helpless. There is no way, who can say that the Xiliang Army has the highest status among Dong Zhuo's army. Although the soldiers of the Northern Army also have many powerful troops, it is a pity that there are differences between close relatives and concubines.
.So even though these Xiliang Army soldiers are now under his control, if his strength is not obvious to all, I am afraid that those arrogant and powerful generals will not be obedient at all.
"I am your Majesty's personal general, how can I surrender the rebels and traitors! It is useless to talk too much, Marquis Wucheng, please don't talk too much."
What Sun Jian didn't know was how long Li Zhuo had been waiting for this moment. Perhaps even without pressure from behind, this young man who wanted to prove something would not give in easily.
There seems to be a glimmer of light in the sky, and the darkest period before dawn seems to be over.
