Just when Huang Gai's broadsword was about to slash at Lu Meng, a long halberd suddenly stretched out from the diagonal thrust, blocking the menacing broadsword.
The attack was blocked, and even the shock made his tiger's mouth numb. Huang Gai immediately looked at it intently, but this look made him feel cold from his head to the soles of his feet.
"King Xiang Ji of Chu!"
No matter how Huang Gai thought about it, he would never have imagined that during the attack on the city, he would see the enemy commander personally boarding the city wall.
You know, this is not a general or governor, this is the King of Chu!
It was beyond Huang Gai's expectation that he could challenge Sun Ce to a duel before, but it wasn't until he violently tortured Sun Ce and the other five that Huang Gai realized that he was a man of great skill and daring.
But now, this is an attack on the city, which is many times more dangerous than fighting in front of the formation.
But as the king of Chu, Xiang Ji actually went to the front line in person.
Although Huang Gai didn't understand, Xiang Ji's personal attack on the city had a great impact on the Chu and Wu armies.
The Chu army's morale soared crazily when they saw their king taking the lead and risking their lives.
On the other hand, the Wu Army's soldiers and morale are not as good as those of the Chu Army. Now most of their generals have disappeared. Even their little overlord Sun Ce has not appeared on the city wall to command in person. This morale is also visible to the naked eye. The speed dropped like crazy.
If we were not defending the city now, we would have nowhere to run, and the deserters would have already appeared.
"Ziming, please retreat and leave this place to me."
After saving Lu Meng, Xiang Ji put away his Overlord Halberd and looked at Huang Gai opposite with a playful look.
Because Xiang Ji wanted to speed up the attack on the city, so when he saw that Lu Meng had successfully occupied a section of the city wall, they climbed up the ladder together to take advantage of the terrain and slowly expand their advantage.
But just as he came up, he saw Lü Meng in danger. What else could he say? He came over in a few steps and happened to be in time to rescue Lü Meng.
However, what Xiang Ji didn't expect was that the person confronting Lu Meng was actually Huang Gai, who wanted to pretend to surrender.
"Huang Gai, I remember that you once sent a letter saying that you planned to surrender to Chu.
Now that the situation in your country of Wu is over, King Gu will give you a chance, are you willing to surrender?"
After experiencing this battle, Xiang Ji realized that he still had too few generals under his command, so when he saw Huang Gai, he immediately started recruiting.
Faced with Xiang Ji's solicitation, Huang Gai could only respond with a helpless smile.
"Thank you very much, King Chu, for your love. However, a certain family has served the Sun family for generations. Now that a certain person is old, how could he be greedy for life and afraid of death and do something that betrays his master?"
After hearing Huang Gai's words, Xiang Ji also understood that for such an old general who fought on the battlefield, dying on the battlefield might be the best destination.
"In that case, let's fight."
It's useless to talk more. Since they are enemies, Xiang Ji will naturally not hold back.
Seeing that Xiang Ji was about to attack, Huang Gai also began to concentrate on his luck and get ready to fight.
Although Huang Gai also knew that he was no match for Xiang Ji.
But for the sake of faith and loyalty, Huang Gai would not put down the weapons in his hands.
Old lord, Huang Gai, I'm afraid I'm going to see you today.
In a daze, Huang Gai seemed to have seen Sun Jian, the fierce tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, and the past events when he followed Sun Jian to capture the rebels and fight on the battlefield.
However, Xiang Ji couldn't see what Huang Gai saw, so Overlord Halberd took action.
"Put away the body of General Huang Gai. He was a real soldier."
After giving instructions to his subordinates behind him, Xiang Ji rushed towards the dense enemy area again.
Now, a large section of the city wall of Qu'a has been occupied by the Chu army. This is the best opportunity for Xiang Ji to seize the city and decide the outcome in a decisive battle.
As long as the Wu soldiers in Qu'a can be destroyed this time, the so-called Kingdom of Wu can also be declared destroyed.
"Your Majesty, the city gate has been captured! Chu army, Chu army has entered the city!"
Sun Ce, who was wandering around the city's back house, suddenly heard the bad news and almost fainted.
So fast?
The Chu army has just launched a general offensive today? How could it be so fast?
After all, there are 40,000 troops in this city. Are they all made of paper?
Regarding the Chu army's entry into the city, Sun Ce could not believe it no matter what.
How could it be so fast?
Could it be that all the generals responsible for defending the city surrendered?
But how could Sun Ce know, because the young general had been arranged by Zhou Yu to leave with Sun Quan.
This caused the Wu army defending the city to lack effective command, and fell into complete chaos in the face of the Chu army's general attack.
Their combat prowess is not at the same level, their morale is not as good as others, and in the end they couldn't even find their own commander. It would be strange if the chaotic Wu soldiers could hold the city.
"Come here! Where is Huang Gai, where is Cheng Pu? And where is Han Dang?"
Suddenly, he realized that Zhou Yu seemed to have told himself that Sun Quan left with the hope of Jiangdong. Only then did Sun Ce understand that those young generals were afraid that they had not surrendered to the enemy, but had left with Sun Quan.
Now, they could only summon these veterans to discuss a solution, but after a while, no one responded to Sun Ce's question.
"Tell me, what happened? Where are the old generals?"
After catching a messenger, Sun Ce asked him with a ferocious expression.
"Your Majesty, the three old generals...were all killed in battle."
Sun Ce was stunned as he put down the messenger soldier he had picked up.
How come the great situation completely changed in such a blink of an eye?
No, several old generals have been killed in battle, and the younger ones have also escaped with that boy Sun Quan. I have to find a way, I don't want to die!
Having lost his courage, Sun Ce is no longer as good as an ordinary person now, and he only thinks about how to survive.
"Gong Jin! Gong Jin! The Chu army has entered the city, we are finished!"
Gong Jin, surrender!"
The embarrassed Sun Ce rushed into Zhou Yu's room.
Looking at Sun Ce in front of him, Zhou Yu's heart was bleeding.
This is the once high-spirited little bully!
This is the little overlord who tells me his ideals and ambitions and wants to create a new world.
But now.
"Don't panic, Bo Fu, I have another way."
Hearing that Zhou Yu said there was still a way, Sun Ce seemed to have grasped the last straw.
"Hahaha! I knew it, I knew you wouldn't let me down, Gongjin.
Come on, what on earth...you...Gongjin...why?"
Sun Ce, who was still very excited, looked at the dagger inserted in his chest and was filled with confusion.
Why, why did Gong Jin want to kill me?
Could it be that he wanted to surrender to Xiang Yu?
Are you using me as a stepping stone to your spiritual advancement?
Unfortunately, Sun Ce could no longer ask the doubts in his heart.
When Xiang Ji led his army to Zhou Yu's room, what he saw was that Sun Ce was sleeping on Zhou Yu's bed, while Zhou Yu was sitting in front of the bed, waving his hands and playing an unknown tune.
After the last note ended, Zhou Yu spoke.
"Overlord, we meet again.
You won, so you are the real overlord!"
Smiling at Xiang Ji, the oil lamp beside Zhou Yu overturned, and then the fire quickly engulfed the two of them.
