Chapter Seventy-Three: Daylight
Zhangshui Bridge, the battle flag of 'Jianwu Zhonglang General Xu' flutters here.
The battle flag of the Qing Turban Army has been cut down, these Danyang soldiers are scattered and break through at this moment, and some of the routs rushed into Xu Sheng's array, and attracted the onslaught of Nanxiang soldiers, Jing Barbarian soldiers, and Yu Ban's subordinates, and Xu Sheng's various formations collapsed one after another.
It was like a sand wall washed by the waves, which could not stop the rapid invasion of the Jingzhou army.
The infantry of Longxiang's army in the east became more and more courageous, and they had broken through the trenches and fences and rushed into the donkey city, and the defenders set fire to the hoarded grain and grass, and thick smoke and fire floated up.
Xu Sheng held a spear and scolded, about 1,000 people of the ironclad Wu army gathered on the east bank of the bridge to form a formation, too many Wu soldiers fled from the bank of the Zhangshui River, impacting the already shaky Wuwei array, and the Wuwei army behind the formation of more than 1,000 people supervised the battle, and at this moment it was also within the scope of the rout's impact and interference.
On the Zhangshui Bridge, Xu Kai, the son of Xu Sheng, wore a basin collar armor, and surrounded by more than 500 Xu tribesmen.
Seeing that the collapse of the Wuwei Army was imminent, Zhuge Jin hurriedly advised: "Supreme! If General Xu is defeated, the enemy army will surround Maicheng! Now General Xu has fallen into a desperate situation, and he is just trying to delay! ”
Sun Quan hesitated, and more and more Jingzhou troops flowed across the almost endless Zhangshui on foot, and in less than five minutes, the west bank of the Zhangshui Bridge was surrounded by Jingzhou troops, blocking the Xu father and son on the bridge.
On the north side of the bridge, the Jing barbarian soldiers who were flowing in the water threw javelins, and the Xu clan on the bridge was difficult to resist the sharp increase in casualties, and the blood flowed along the cracks of the wooden bridge, and the shallow water in the south of the bridge was dyed black and red.
"Lonely and unwilling!"
Sun Quan's right hand tightly grasped the guardrail of the car, and his bones turned white.
He looked around the battlefield, and everywhere it was like a sweeping wave, and all the waves were directed towards him.
If you don't want Zhu Ran's 10,000 people, if you leave Song Qian's department with 5,000 at that time, it won't collapse so quickly!
There is also Lu Meng's Tiger Wei Army, if it hadn't been for that big defeat, it would be enough to defend itself now, why would it be so embarrassed and dangerous!
On Guan Yu's side, Pan Jun said with joy: "Junhou, our army has swept away!" If Wu Hou doesn't leave, I'm afraid he will have to go to Yizhou as a guest. ”
Guan Yu only had more than 700 cavalry around him, and all the infantry had been deployed.
He looked around the battlefield and reluctantly showed a smile: "At this moment, you shouldn't be careless, Yuan Jian, and hold your command and point directly at Sun Quan's own formation." ”
Liao Hua responded and took over the long hand from Guan Yu, which is a command token composed of blue, red, green and yellow ribbons.
The Jingzhou military officials who could watch Changlu for a while suddenly understood, shouted to the surrounding sergeants, and organized to rush and assault in the direction pointed by Changlu.
Pang Lin was overseeing the troops and Lu Xun to strangle together, and as Xu Sheng's troops retreated, there were already two battalions of reserves behind him.
At this time, Luo Qiong also saw what Guan Yu Changlu was pointing at, and the surrounding military officials hesitated, and a fake battalion governor supplemented by Jiangling spoke: "Protect the army, the prince ordered the whole army to storm one place!" ”
Some military officials also spoke: "Lu Xun has many soldiers in the south, and the offensive is fierce. If our army crosses the river to participate in the battle, will it not put Pang Sen's army to death? ”
The fake camp governor's voice was hurried: "It can be seen that what the chief commander is pointing but not moving, it is against military discipline!" ”
The soldiers around him were all anxious, looking at Luo Qiong with eager and blazing eyes, Luo Qiong drew his sword and pointed at them: "The general has already ordered me to supervise the main formation, so that Pang will join the army and supervise the guerrillas." My Huya Army belongs to the Left Army, and I am not under the orders of the former army general of Guan Junhou! ”
There was a military official from the Yidu Junyi Barracks to ease the confrontation: "Protect the army, Sun Quan can be captured in one net." Our army fought a lot of hard battles, but they sat quietly on the east bank and watched such great achievements fall into the hands of others...... How are you willing? ”
Luo Qiong pointed at this person: "If you abandon Pang and join the army, the general will behead me when he returns!" ”
"Protector, is it good for our army to divide another five hundred?"
"Hugh said five hundred, not even fifty. As soon as our army moves, the officers under the command of Pang Senjun will inevitably be distracted! ”
"Protect the army, our army officials have been fighting hard again and again, if this benefit cannot be obtained, the general will lose the heart of the soldiers, how will he lead the army in the future?"
"Yes, the general doesn't love money, but which officer in the army doesn't love it? Protecting the army, not to mention five hundred, is it good to divide three hundred to cross the river to assist the general? ”
During the argument, the Yi barracks withdrew from the burning donkey city, Lin Luozhu's face turned black, and when he saw this dispute, he had a brute attack: "The general will do whatever he says, who dares to move lightly?" ”
He discarded the sword and shield in his hand and came to Luo Qiong: "When our army goes to the west bank, I'm afraid it's too late, so it's better to go south." The enemy army was demoralized and just broke through. ”
Luo Qiong pointed to the two battle flags of Lu Xun's 'Right Protector Army' and 'Partial General Army' in the south: "In addition to the Yi barracks, the rest of the officers are going south, and all armies must not disobey the order!" ”
The Jiangling fake camp governor, who had been rejected one after another, was very angry, threw his helmet to the ground, and the helmet rolled to Luo Qiong's feet, and the fake camp governor shouted angrily: "Follow me to the south and break the enemy in front of you!" ”
Another fake battalion commander who commanded the soldiers in Guanzhong also snorted, depressed and manic: "Kill the enemy with me!" ”
On the other side of the river, it was Sun Quan, and it was a great achievement to grab a finger!
Not to mention the large amount of gold and silver that may have been accumulated in the city, which was carried with the army to reward the soldiers.
Not only them, but all the Jingzhou troops on the entire west bank were excited, and the whole front fought bravely to be the first.
Sun Quan's own position did not move, and the Wuwei army also struggled to support it, and the army around the tent and the army under the tent participated in the battle successively, but they could barely withstand the onslaught of the Jingzhou army.
At this time, General Long Xiang's battle banner and General Huya's battle flag slowly moved towards Sun Quan's main formation under the gaze of both the enemy and us.
There were only more than 1,000 Hushi left under the car and 500 Ma Xianjun left by Sun Quan's side.
Zhuge Jin shouted loudly: "Supreme! It's urgent! ”
He grabbed the collar of the chariot and scolded: "Enter the city quickly, go out of the south gate and take the Fushui pontoon bridge!" ”
Zhuge Jin shouted to Sun Quan left and right: "The Jingzhou army lacks food, which can ignite the grain storage in the city, and he is unable to chase me if he fights the fire and saves the grain!" ”
The horses neighed, and everyone saw that Sun Quan did not open his mouth to object, or led the horse, or pushed the cart, Sun Quan's cyan canopy chariot slowly entered the city, and the tiger soldiers under the car followed closely together, and the horse and the army gathered together.
Zhuge Jin saw the immature face of his eldest son Zhuge Ke in Ma Xian's army, and also saw the figure of Zhou Yu's second son.
"Summons General Wuwei, request His Highness."
As the middle Sima, Zhuge Jin had already turned over on his horse, and pointed to the two battle flags of Guan Ping and Tian Xin who were slowly pressing: "Follow me around Xicheng!" ”
After saying that, Zhuge Jin pulled the reins and walked around the city to the northwest, followed by more than 500 horses and idle troops, who were close to the Wuwei army, the tent army, and the tent army marched behind the formation, and the sound of horses' hooves rumbled over, which also broke the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers of the three armies.
In the wheat city, fireworks are lit everywhere.
Thick smoke rose into the air, echoing the fireworks of Donkey City, obscuring the sky.
Seeing that the two cities were on fire, the grain hoarded in the Mocheng stronghold on the west bank and the seven camps on both sides of Tuoshui also set fire one after another.
When Sun Quan arrived at the pontoon bridge, the car was wide and heavy.
Yu turned over with a spear to guard the side, and when he saw that Sun Quan was close to the left and right, he was about to push the Yu Gai Rong car across the pontoon bridge, and scolded angrily: "The car is dead, what is the use!" ”
At this time, Zhuge Jin led the Ma Xianjun to arrive, dismounted and helped the depressed Sun Quan onto the horse, Zhuge Jin led the crossing of the river, and the Ma Xianjun behind him ran through.
Under the car, the tiger soldiers lined up to guard, and Yu shouted to encourage.
It's just that the collapsed tent army in the upper reaches rushed into the frustrated water, and the cold frustration made too many people paralyzed and stiff, and they were swept by the water and floated towards the pontoon.
After wearing armor and fighting fiercely, you can have a stroke if you quickly take off your armor, let alone jump directly into the icy river.
Few people were able to wade through waist-deep water, and most of them were swept downstream by the waves and hit the pontoon.
Seeing that the pontoon bridge was crumbling, the Huwei army was already frightened after the death of Lu Meng and Gan Ning, and immediately scattered and rushed to fight for the crossing, and more people fell into the water.
Yu Flip killed several people in a row and couldn't stop it, so he followed the tiger soldier under the car and ran towards the dry Zhangshui.
But there were more routs, and they were wrapped up in Yu Turn, and Yu Flip was confused and arrived on the west bank of the frustrated water.
Sun Quan looked back and saw that the Wu army was scattered everywhere, and the Han army was chasing and killing everywhere.
On the other side, Lu Xun also dispersed, and retreated to the mouth of the river under the escort of more than 300 cavalry, not forgetting to gather the chaotic soldiers in the camps along the way.
