"Captain! It's fire! The city gate is about to open!"
Zhuge Liang shouted excitedly, barely able to control his voice, but it also alarmed the birds above their heads.
In the dense forest of Xian Mountain, birds leave their nests.
As for the last main force of nearly 60,000 people in the Sun-Liu coalition, who used the fire as their signal, everyone's whole body was tense because of this.
Chen Wu, Dongxi, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Xu Sheng...each of them had excitement in their eyes.
Just like a strong bow ready to go, they will rush out in full force just waiting for the last command.
Zhuge Liang stood up and stood in the empty forest glade, his eyes blazing. Under his gaze, finally... the city gate iron cable that symbolized Yi Xiaotian's fate came down in response.
The huge city gate suspension bridge let out a mournful cry before slowly falling onto the moat——
Boom——
The dull sound was the last military order for Zhang Fei and others to march.
"The whole army charges!"
"Capture Cao Cao alive! Capture Yi Xiaotian alive!"
"Capture Xiangyang, today!"
"kill!!"
"kill!!"
This overwhelming cry shook the sand and rocks off the Xian Mountain, and the powerful Sun and Liu Company launched a charge that they believed to symbolize victory.
Liu Bei didn't care about anything anymore. After explaining to Zhuge Liang, he rushed into the battle excitedly.
In the swaying firelight, Xiangyang seemed to have become an image more important than their lives at this moment.
Everyone wants to defeat Xiangyang, everyone wants to enter Xiangyang. No matter who Xiangyang belongs to later, it seems that all their feelings for Cao Cao and Yi Xiaotian, whether it is love or hate, are poured into this place at this moment.
In the city.
Especially Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others charged the fastest. It seemed that the two people on the horse couldn't wait to avenge their previous shame.
As for Chen Wu, Dong Xi and others, they were also trying to revitalize Jiangdong and avenge their colleagues. It seemed that no one had noticed that except for the light of fire, the north of Xiangyang City was actually dead and silent, which was even more frightening than the Gate of Hell.
But with a brain filled with blood, even a person like Zhuge Liang cannot think calmly.
Only Zhou Yu, who had been staring at the sky lantern floating from a distance since just now, seemed to be alone in this dizzying frenzy.
He asked again:
"what is that?"
"Captain? What are you looking at? The soldiers have already charged down. Look at the south gate of Xiangyang wide open... Haha, it won't be long... Yi Xiaotian, Cao Cao and the others will be tied up by Wu Hua Da.
Delivered to us…”
"Kong Ming..."
"ah?"
I don’t know if it’s because of his deep hatred for Yi Xiaotian, but because of jealousy, Zhuge Liang has changed beyond recognition. He is so excited at this moment, how can he still look as stable as a mountain before? Zhuge Liang, with his hair and beard scattered around, is undoubtedly a disheveled lunatic at this moment.
However, Zhou Yu's strange behavior still made Zhuge Liang sober up a little.
Zhou Yu's eyes were empty. He swallowed and looked at Zhuge Liang, pointing to Fan Shui not far away and to the east gate of Xiangyang, which was more than ten miles away:
"Kong Ming... water... water is gone..."
"What's missing?"
Zhou Yu nervously put his hands next to his ears. His expression was extremely frightened. Zhou Yu, who seemed to be frightened by something, suddenly came forward and shook Zhuge Liang's shoulders violently:
"Kong Ming! The shouting of killing is gone! The bowstring is no longer ringing! I only hear... I hear some broken sound!"
"Captain! Calm down! Calm down. What did you hear?"
Zhuge Liang was shaken so much by Zhou Yu that he almost vomited out. After he hurriedly stopped Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang grabbed the somewhat crazy Zhou Yu with a puzzled look on his face and shouted:
"Captain!"
"ah…"
"Aren't the shouts of killing still there?"
Zhuge Liang frowned and pointed with his hand at the soldiers who were charging down the mountain.
"Kong Ming...do you understand music?"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu suddenly asked a confusing question at this time. Zhou Yu, who seemed to be calm, actually made Zhuge Liang quite angry.
He felt that Zhou Yu might be too tired and mentally confused.
But since Zhou Yu asked, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to answer:
"I know a thing or two... No, Governor, you and I have just exchanged piano skills before, why do you say this?"
"You...you know nothing!"
As a result, Zhou Yu said angrily. He grabbed Kong Ming, who was frightened and confused, and ran to another hilltop of Xian Mountain.
The panting two finally stood on the high point of Xian Mountain. Zhou Yu carried Kong Ming to the cliff with an extremely wide view, and pointed to the distance with great sadness:
"Kong Ming! We have been fooled! We have fallen into the trap! We are going to lose!!"
After Zhou Yu realized that what he heard was no different from what he saw, he howled in despair on the spot.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang saw the group of sky lanterns slowly floating over Fanshui——
Under the sky lanterns, countless large ships were torn to pieces, and tens of thousands of Soochow soldiers were unable to escape from the waves of arrows, and their deaths were without any suspense.
And the Fan River, which was supposed to flow from the southeast of Xian Mountain, all the way through Xiangyang to Fancheng, and then all the way north, has now disappeared.
Zhuge Liang suddenly felt a little dizzy, and his ears seemed to still be ringing with the loud roar of the waves when the water of Fanshui hit the banks on both sides, but his mind told Zhuge Liang at this moment that he...should have lost.
——
The people on the top of the mountain seemed to have seen through everything, but...how could the belatedly arriving Ming Jin retreat troops reach the ears of a general like Zhang Fei who had been dazzled by anger and fighting spirit?
It seems that some soldiers heard the sound of Ming Jin withdrawing his troops and wanted to report to Zhang Fei, but Zhang Fei knocked him to the ground angrily:
"Today, no one can stop you, Grandpa Zhang, from capturing that thief Cao Cao alive!"
"Soldiers, charge with me!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"
The thunderous roar swept through the entire charging army, and even temporarily drowned out the feeble sound of gold ringing on the Xian Mountain.
Zhang Fei still didn't know how desperate Zhuge Liang felt at this moment because he heard his deafening howl from more than ten miles away.
Zhang Fei only had one thing in mind: capturing Cao Cao alive. A soldier could not be killed but not humiliated. Zhang Fei was such a person who would avenge his grievances.
As if being invaded by Zhang Fei's anger, even Chen Wu, Dong Xi and others rushed to rush forward.
The generals standing in rows seemed to be returning to their hometowns in triumph, waiting for the neighbors and villagers to come and greet them.
However, the closer they got to Xiangyang, which was dreary under the night, the more some people in the army felt that something was wrong.
By chance, Liu Bei, who rushed forward excitedly, took advantage of the moment when everyone was stunned and took the lead and rushed to the front.
Just when Liu Bei turned around and wanted to shout slogans and rush across the moat in a handsome manner——
Whoosh——
A feather arrow directly hit the armor on his head.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
"Protect! Protect! Lord! Lord!"
Zhao Yun didn't know what he was thinking when he shouted these words, but everyone around him basically felt a heartbreaking feeling.
The rain of arrows is coming...it's so untimely, it's so heartbreaking...
