Chapter 903: Zhou Yu's Hate (Part II)
At the same time, Chen Deng and Jia Xu were responsible for commanding the soldiers and civilians in Picheng to prepare for the upcoming war. Outside the city of Xiapi, the shouting of killing can be earth-shattering. Cao Cao combined with Xiahou Yuan and Yu Ban two generals, led three thousand tigers and leopards to ride out of the city, Cao Cao looked at the Jiangdong army from afar, all the soldiers were murderous, and the generals were all hideous, and their eyes erupted with anger and hatred. I also saw that the Jiangdong Chinese Army erected two white flags, with the four big characters of 'revenge and hatred' written in large letters. The armies of all units formed a formation, strictly arranging and mighty.
Zhou Yu saw that there was a Cao army on the opposite side, stared at him, rode out of the battle, wore a vegetarian shirt, raised his whip and scolded, and called Cao Cao to come out to answer. Cao Cao was about to go out, Xiahou Yuan's face was anxious, and he was about to speak, but Cao Cao cast a look, Xiahou Yuan saw it, gritted his teeth, and followed Cao Cao until Yumen.
Cao Cao faced the Jiangdong army, which was overwhelming, but he was not afraid, staring intently, and his voice was like a buzzing bell.
"Zhou Gongjin, Lone Ben wants to marry Sun Lang, so he wants to marry Dongwu, become a good Qin and Jin Dynasty, and share the land of Jingzhou. This is a good thing for the Cao and Sun families. Unexpectedly, Sun Lang would be treacherous, counterattack the situation of Lonely, and brutalize the people of Xuzhou. Sun Lang thinks very highly of himself, arrogant and cruel, so that the heavens are angry and resentful, and it is the destiny of heaven to damage his life.
Zhou Gongjin: If you still have some benevolence and righteousness in your heart, why don't you just stop and withdraw your troops. Lone also returned Sun Lang's corpse to your Jiangdong. The two families of Cao and Sun are making a truce, what do you think? β
Zhou Yu gritted his teeth when he heard this, laughed angrily, and scolded Cao Cao from afar.
"Hahahaha!! This is a big joke!! Cao Mengde, you manipulate the society and hold the current saint hostage, thinking that you are a puppet and a thief who is in turmoil, you are a person who is false, benevolent, righteous and shameless, how different from a beast! The lord of my house is a great man of the world, how can he be in the same stream as you!! Hate the sky without eyes, and my lord's life will be lost at your hands. The hatred of the killer is not shared, and the two families of Cao and Sun are incompatible so far, only to die!! Who dares to take down the old thief with me and avenge the Lord!! β
Zhou Yu drank sharply, and Zhou Tai came out in response. Seeing this, Cao Cao hurriedly entered the battle. Zhou Tai rushed to the horse with a gun, and Xiahou Yuan jumped on a horse with a gun and came to meet the enemy. The two horses intersected, Zhou Tai neighed and roared, hating in his heart, slashing with knives, and the offensive was very violent. Xiahou Yuan killed a few times, knowing that Zhou Tai was powerful this time, he suddenly pulled out his horse and retreated to the formation. Zhou Taihu glared, whipped and chased after him, seeing that he was about to catch up with Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan roared sharply and made a move back to the horse gun.
The gun was like lightning, Zhou Tai suddenly flashed, narrowly avoided, and before he came back to his senses, Yu Ban suddenly fired a cold arrow in the Cao array, and at the same time, Xiahou Yuan also took advantage of the situation to attack. Zhou Tai was shocked in his heart, and at this moment, a bowstring sound broke out, and an arrow shot from Zhou Tai's back, hitting the forbidden cold arrow.
Yu Ban's face changed, and he looked at it, and the person who shot the arrow was none other than Jiangdong General Lu Zimingye. Lu Meng's tiger eyes shimmered, and he slapped his horses and rushed to help. Yu Ban also rushed out on horseback and met Lu Meng.
said that it was too late and that it was too fast, Zhou Tai and Xiahou Yuan had already killed here, and the two attacked each other, killing the soldiers of the two armies in shock. Cao Cao secretly looked at the battle situation, and saw Zhou Yu draw his sword and make a move, Ling Tong, Ding Feng, Han Dang and other Jiangdong fierce generals rushed out together. Cao Cao was shocked and ordered the soldiers to withdraw. Xiahou Yuan and Yu Ban also saw the Jiangdong generals coming, and hurriedly fought to open their positions, hoping that the rear army would retreat.
"The armies obey the order, and whoever obtains the head of the old thief will be crowned the marquis !!of ten thousand households."
Zhou Yu swung his sword and shouted, urging the army to cover up the killing. The 40,000 Jiangdong army rushed up and rushed over overwhelmingly. Cao Cao led the tiger and leopard to ride back into the city of Xiapi, the city gate was closed, and the drawbridge was withdrawn. The Jiangdong army was blocked by the moat, and Jia Xu and Chen Deng in the city ordered the soldiers and civilians to release arrows to block it, and the arrows fell like a torrential rain in an instant. Many Jiangdong soldiers and horses who rushed forward were shot dead one after another and fell into the moat.
Cao Cao personally ascended to the top of the city and commanded the army and civilians to fight, and the soldiers and civilians of Xiapi were encouraged to fight bravely. For a time, the sound of fighting could turn the world upside down, and the soldiers of the two sides attacked and defended, fighting bravely. Zhou Yu saw that the soldiers and civilians in the city were fighting together, and the arrows fell like a note, and the city trench was very wide and the water was deep, so the soldiers were in a hurry to approach the city. This will only add unnecessary casualties.
Although Zhou Yu had hatred in his heart, he had not yet lost his mind, and immediately made a decision and ordered the troops to withdraw. The horn of the troops suddenly sounded. The Jiangdong Army's originally fierce offensive was suddenly stopped.
When he was young, he saw that the troops of the Jiangdong Army slowly retreated, until three or four miles outside the city, and they actually set up camp on the spot. Seeing this, Jia Xu hurriedly admonished Cao Cao.
"Zhou Gongjin camped under the city, and he must break through the city with an iron heart. The king should take advantage of the fact that his fortress has not been erected and send troops to attack, otherwise his camp will be erected, and the city of Pi will be in danger! β
Jia Xu was very anxious. Cao Cao was solemn and said to Jia Xu.
"Don't act rashly. Zhou Gongjin is resourceful, and he is defenseless. At present, our army is weak and cannot afford any further losses. And send someone to explore before making a decision. β
Cao Cao was particularly cautious, and Jia Xu did not persuade him more.
That night, Cao Cao personally led an army, secretly went out of the city, and came to watch the movement. I saw that the Jiangdong Army was flat, the soldiers and horses were messy, and there was no shelter. When Xiahou Yuan saw it, he smiled coldly.
"Everyone in the world says that Zhou Gongjin uses soldiers like a god, in my opinion, but Er'er. His deployment of troops is like child's play. The last general is willing to fight with the general in two ways. If he is invincible, he is willing to be a military order!! β
Yu Ban also echoed the voice, but Cao Cao did not respond to Xiahou Yuan immediately, but Le Ma concentrated and looked carefully around the Jiangdong camp for a long time. After a while, Cao Cao grinned, and said with a smile at the back of the village with a whip.
"Whoever is a general, should be a combination of rigidity and softness, courage is rigidity, and planning is softness. It is important to march and fight bravely, which can boost the morale of the three armies. But strategy is the key to victory. Miaocai, Wen Ze, you should think more about everything, don't be impatient and rash. You wait and look at the mouth of the forest behind this village, there is a faint murderous aura, and there will be ambushes under it. Zhou Gongjin set up this weak camp on the flat ground to lure my ears. Our army must not come out! β
After Cao Cao finished speaking, Xiahou Yuan and Yu Ban were all stunned, and they looked at the back of Jiangdong Zhai, and they felt a murderous aura rushing in. Only then did the two come to their senses and hurriedly confessed their guilt to Cao Cao. Cao Cao bowed slightly, and softly said a few words to the two, both of them knew that this was a good word, so they naturally kept it in mind.
When he was young, Cao Cao finished his search and was about to return to the city. Unexpectedly, a cannon burst out in the northeast corner, and a Jiangdong soldier and horse were rushing to kill. The leader is none other than Zhou Taiye. It turned out that Zhou Yu had expected that with Cao Cao's cautious and delicate temperament, most of them would come to explore the enemy situation tonight, so he ordered Zhou Tai to ambush in the northeast corner of the outside of the village, and at the same time set up more secret posts around the camp, but when he saw that Cao's army was coming, he did not attack first, and secretly launched a signal. Zhou Tai saw the signal, and immediately led troops to kill him to capture the thief.
With the shouting of killing, Cao Cao's face changed drastically, and he secretly sighed that Zhou Lang was like a god, and he pulled his horse and fled. Xiahou Yuan and Yu Ban slowly retreated, thinking that they were broken. Zhou Tai saw Cao Cao, and the anger and hatred that had been accumulated for a long time seemed to be burning, and he whipped his horse and flew all the way, like a thunderbolt rushing over. Xiahou Yuan and Yu Ban saw Zhou Tai approaching, the two quickly exchanged eyes, Yu Ban shouted, danced a gun and rode a horse to meet Zhou Tai, Xiahou Yuan reined in the horse, and quickly drew his bow and arrow. Yu Ban killed Zhou Tai impressively, Zhou Tai struggled to raise the knife and slashed violently at Yu Ban's breastplate. The speed of the knife was as fast as a wind, and it was slashed suddenly, and Yu Ban hurriedly raised the gun. With a loud bang, Zhou Tai deserved to be the first fierce general in Jiangdong, and his strength was so great that he had the strength of a thousand pounds, and he could slash Yu Banlian with a horse and retreat a few meters with a knife. Zhou Tai roared angrily and was about to step up the offensive. At this moment, there was a burst of 'boom', Zhou Tai's face changed, and he hurriedly pulled out his knife, and the sound of the arrow came, and the sudden cold arrow shot at Zhou Tai's exquisite tiger roaring broadsword, bursting into a burst of bright sparks. Before Zhou Tai could come back to his senses, several bowstrings sounded, and several fast and fast arrows came one after another. Zhou Tai danced the knife and slashed indiscriminately, and the big knife cut through the arrows again and again. When the attack of arrows stopped, Zhou Tai fixed his eyes, and Yu Ban had already fled. Zhou Tai looked at the backs of Yu Ban and Xiahou Yuan fleeing, gritted his teeth, his face was hideous, and he roared unwillingly, and his deployment arrived at this time. Zhou Tai had no choice but to lead his troops back to the village and report to Zhou Yu.
When he was young, Zhou Tai led the troops back, and Zhou Yu hurriedly greeted him, his eyes shimmering, and he looked at Zhou Tai. Zhou Tai gritted his teeth, then dismounted and knelt on the ground, telling him about the past. Zhou Yu heard that Cao Cao had escaped again, his face couldn't help but darken, he groaned for a while, shook his head and sighed.
"The old thief is treacherous, and there are fierce generals to protect him, it seems that it is not easy to kill the old thief. The old thief came to inquire about the situation, and with his cunning and fox wisdom, he would have discovered that our army was in ambush. Pass my order to recall the ambush soldiers in Linkou back to the village. β
Zhou Yu finished speaking, frowned, and turned to enter the account. After a while, Lu Su, Lu Xun, Zhou Tai, Han Dang and other civil and military personnel entered the account one after another, and a group of Jiangdong civil and military began to discuss the strategy of destroying the enemy and taking revenge.
On the other side, when Cao Cao entered the city, he ordered all the soldiers to strictly guard the city and not to leave the city easily. The next day, Zhou Yu saw that Cao's soldiers were allegedly stubbornly defending, so he ordered the sergeants to carry soil to fill the trenches, and mixed them with earthen cloth bags and firewood and grass to make ladder stools on the edge of the city. The Jiangdong army pressed down on Xia Picheng everywhere, all preparing for the siege.
Cao Bing, who was in the city, saw it and panicked, and quickly reported to Cao Cao. Cao Cao personally climbed the city and looked, and saw that the city was surging, and the Jiangdong soldiers were crowded with people, surrounding Xiapi City on all sides. Cao Cao looked at it carefully for a while, and there was nothing to be done for a while, but now there is only a strong hold on to the city until the reinforcements arrive, and there is a turnaround. Cao Cao knew this, and commanded the military and civilian operations in the city every day to shock the morale of the army. Seeing that Cao Cao came in person, the soldiers and civilians of Xiapi were all very active and prepared intensively if they had the help of divine power. All the virgin walls of Xiapi City are covered with thorns, and the boulders, rolling logs, arrows and other things that defend the city are fully prepared.
Three days later, Zhou Yu finally attacked. The 40,000 Jiangdong army, led by Zhou Tai, Han Dang, LΓΌ Meng, and Ling Tong, each with 10,000 soldiers and horses, was murderous and slaughtered to Xia Picheng. Zhou Tai led the army to the north gate, Han Dang led the army to the east gate, and LΓΌ Meng and Ling Tong each led the army to the west and south gates. Zhou Yu set up red, yellow, green, and black flags on a high slope in the southwest corner as a conductor.
The battle was about to break out, and a huge shout of killing sounded from all directions. Zhou Tai led the army to the north gate of the city, and just rushed through the moat, Chen Deng, who was guarding the north gate, immediately ordered the soldiers and civilians in the city to block it with arrows. In an instant, the arrows fell like a shower, and Zhou Tai bore the brunt of it, slashing with his knife and struggling forward. The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army followed Zhou Tai closely and pressed forward step by step. Zhou Taiyong was not afraid of death, rushed straight to the ladder bench made of earthen cloth bags and other sundries, and rushed to the high place of the city wall, and the Jiangdong soldiers pressed one after another. Chen Deng saw the truth, and when the other army slowly approached, he suddenly issued an order, and several teams of soldiers and civilians immediately looked at the city and threw rolling stones and trees.
Boom Rumble ~~!!
An astonishing sensation erupted, and I saw huge stones falling on my head. Many Jiangdong soldiers were smashed and fell to the bottom of the city, shattered to pieces. Zhou Taihu glared, gritted his teeth, dodged or blocked, rushed for several meters, and suddenly a rolling log rushed in. Zhou Tai roared violently, swung his knife and slashed, and the log was split in two. At this moment, Chen Deng hurriedly ordered the crossbowman on his right hand to shoot arrows. The sound of arrows sounded in a row, and Zhou Tai didn't even have time to breathe, so he hurriedly raised his knife to block it.
The battle at the north gate was extremely fierce, and the Jiangdong soldiers and horses led by Zhou Tai were slowly climbing to the city wall. On the other side, outside the eastern city gate, Han Dang led his troops to rush and rush violently. Han Dang bore the brunt of the attack, and under the rain of arrows and falling stones, he swung his sword and rushed forward, and his deployment followed closely. Yu Ban, who was guarding the city gate in the east, had a cold face, and commanded the soldiers and civilians in the city to block the attack.
When he was young, Han Dang Lao Dang Yi Zhuang rushed suddenly, and he was the first to climb to the top of the city. Yu Ban has been gathering momentum for a long time, and when he saw Han Dang going to the city, he yelled and twisted his gun to resist. Han Dangshi rushed very violently, his strength was a little exhausted, and Yu Ban suddenly killed, as fast as a thunderous shot, stabbing him in the head. Han Dang hurriedly blocked the knife, Yu Ban rushed with a gun, Han Dang pressed his feet on the ground, blocked it, took a few steps back, shouted, and struggled to swing away Yu Ban's gun. Yu Ban looked at a gap and launched a lu with a gun
Violent stabbing, Han Dang or dodging or blocking, for a time the danger was full of dangers, and he was pressed by the forbidden death.
