Chapter 684: The Rise of the Newcomer
But what I didn't expect was that Zhou Yu was the villain Ling Cao who came to the rescue. Huang Gai was worried in his heart.
"Haha~! General Huang doesn't have to worry too much, the battle situation there is just right, and the enemy army can't hold out even if he's afraid. I've been guarding the military division, but I don't have much chance to make a move. The military advisor said let me come to you to grab some merits! It was Ling Cao, who was rushing to kill in the crowd, laughing while not killing the enemy by mistake, but he was chic and majestic.
"It seems that Cheng, Han and others and I still underestimate Gongjin this week. This person's talent is peerless, ancient and modern, and he will definitely become the Zhang Zifang of my grandson's family in the future, and even surpass Gu Xian!! When Huang Gai heard this, he couldn't help but read quickly in his heart, and at the same time understood why Sun Ce did not hesitate to turn his face with Cheng and Han, but also to keep Zhou Yu's position in the army, because a talent like him is even better than hundreds of generals and thousands of soldiers!
said that just when Huang Gai lost his mind, the enemies around him seemed to see hope and hurriedly slaughtered him. Huang Gai was able to react quickly, and immediately got up, twisted the red flame whip in both hands, and entangled and fought with it. After a while, Huang Gai added a few more scars, and the war horse was even more injured when he sat down, and he couldn't hold on for long. At the last moment, Ling Cao finally broke through and killed, a silver gun in his hand, like a silver snake missile, was sharp and tricky, killed seven or eight people in an instant, broke through a gap, saw Huang Gai, and shouted: "General Huang can still kill~!? ”
"Woo ho Ling Cao's roar aroused Huang Gai's fighting spirit, Huang Gai roared suddenly, and the double whip flew up, if it swept through thousands of troops, it was like this, and the enemy soldiers around him were killed, and the war horse that sat down suddenly became energetic, and with a long roar, the conflict arose. Ling Cao hurriedly greeted him, waited for Huang Gai to pass first, and then caught up with him. Zhang and Qiao's deployment thought that they could capture and kill Huang Gai and make a great achievement, but now that Huang Gai was fleeing, he was willing to do so, and immediately killed him. I didn't know that Ling Cao's marksmanship was fast, and those enemy soldiers who were eager to chase after him were all injured by Ling Cao's fast guns, and they immediately rolled away, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
However, he said that Huang Gai's deployment saw that Huang Gai had not come out of the enemy's hinterland for a long time, and he was so anxious that he fought to the death, and he was looking forward to rescuing Huang Gai. Suddenly, seeing Huang Gai kill from a corner, his blood was dazed, like a devil killed from a hellish Shura, Ling Cao quickly caught up from behind, and the white robe was also bloodstained, majestic.
Huang Gai saw it as soon as he deployed it, and in an instant, if there was divine help, the morale was great, and everyone withdrew and roared, and for a while, the heavens and the earth seemed to tremble.
"Fuck it~~!!" Huang Gai shouted angrily, Ling Cao immediately ordered, personally led the troops to pounce, Zhang and Qiao deployed to see that Huang Gai's department was like a ghost jackal, all of them were afraid of it, and the formation was chaotic, the two sides were in a confrontation, and the Zhang and Qiao deployment side of the crowd was killed by surprise.
At this moment, the horn of the Ming Jin Withdrawal Troop sounded, and it was actually from the headquarters where Qiao Rui was.
As a result, I saw that the attacking troops of the three routes withdrew one after another like a low tide. In the front camp gate, Sun Ce led a team of elites to cover up for a while, and the domineering Sun Ce directly killed Zhang and Qiao's deployment, which was a small victory.
And Zhou Yu's place is even more powerful, Zhou Yu, who had long expected it, personally led his troops to pounce on him when the horn of Mingjin was raised, capturing nearly hundreds of prisoners, and winning countless horses, which can be described as a great victory.
As for the yellow cover, it can only be regarded as a tie. It is said that the two parties are evenly matched, and even at that critical moment, if Ling Cao did not arrive, it is still unknown whether Huang Gai can save his life.
Of course, in such a situation of disparity in strength, it is already a blessing to get a draw. Sun Ce's small victory, in addition to adequate preparation and exquisite allocation, is more important to have Sun Ce, a member who dares to charge into battle and is invincible, which is the courage and courage of martial arts.
And Zhou Yu can win a big victory, but he can surprise with his troops, and the fast transition between attack and defense makes the enemy at a loss, and when he reacts, he is often caught off guard by Zhou Yu, like a prey caught in a spider's web, unable to break free at all.
It is said that when Zhang and Qiao led a group of remnants back to the city, it was dusk, and the guards guarding the city originally saw the return of the army and wanted to celebrate, but the scout came to report that Zhang and Qiao joined forces to storm the camp of the Sun army, but they were killed and returned. When the guards of the city heard this, they all changed their faces and could not believe it, until they saw the dejected and listless procession, all like defeated roosters, that they knew that it was indeed true.
Later, the news of the victory or defeat of this battle quickly spread. As a result, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu became famous, and among them, Zhou Yu, in the hearts of Zhang and Qiao, was like a nightmare.
Qiao Rui never expected that he and Zhang Xun would join forces, with few enemies and strong to bully the weak, and they would be defeated. At the same time, Zhou Yu had repeatedly broken his army in the previous round, and suddenly Qiao Rui reacted, he and Zhou Yu played dozens of battles, large and small, but none of them won, and the deaths, injuries, and losses due to his calculations before and after have exceeded 20,000 soldiers!
Qiao Rui woke up at this time, and began to realize that the gaze of his subordinates towards him had begun to hide a little strangeness.
As a result, Qiao Rui was afraid that his prestige would be damaged again, and now the morale of the army was also low, and the fighting spirit was difficult to mention, so he intended to rest for two days. Zhang Xun listened, but he was unwilling, and he was anxious to find Qiaorui, so he said that the Sun family army was stubbornly resistant, and if it attacked for three days, it would definitely be broken. Qiao Rui hesitated several times, but refused to make up his mind for a long time. Seeing this, Zhang Xun seemed to have guessed Qiao Rui's thoughts, so he asked Qiao Rui to lend him the deployment, and he came to lead the troops to attack, if he had merit, he was willing to give him half of it, and if he lost, he would bear it.
But Qiao Rui was afraid of changes in the army, and thought that if Zhang Xun won, wouldn't he be even more discouraged, and maybe even Yuan Shu would let Zhang Xun replace him in the future. Runan is the important land of the Yuan family, the business is developed, not only rich, but also rich in medicines, stones, saltpeter and other types of armaments, oil and water can be more, Qiao Rui has secretly gained many benefits over the years, how can he be willing to give up such a good position.
So, Qiao Rui tried his best to refuse Zhang Xun, no matter how Zhang Xun assured, he only said that now the army's morale has been frustrated, and it is not suitable to fight.
At the same time, in the tiger tent of the Sun family's camp, Sun Ce's golden knife sat like a horse, with soldiers sitting on both sides, and Zhou Yu sat next to Sun Ce.
At this time, Sun Ce had just listened to the casualty statistics of various armies, and heard that today's battle had lost nearly five or six hundred soldiers, and he couldn't help frowning, although there were many prisoners in the army to replenish, but these people could not be trusted. After several rounds of strict selection, Zhou Yu took out five or six hundred captives from the captives to replenish them, most of whom were from the Jiangdong area. After all, the prestige of the Sun family in Jiangdong is very high, when Sun Jian was in Jiangdong, he often led troops to fight against Jiang pirates and mountain bandits, and was known as a benevolent and righteous soldier, so he was supported by the people.
For the rest of the people, Zhou Yu also specially transferred them separately, and assigned a lot of crossbowmen to take turns to monitor them. I don't know if Sun and Zhou have carved an indelible shadow in the minds of these people, or if Zhou Yu's supervision is strict, after so many days, I haven't seen a single captive intending to escape, but I don't know if they are waiting for the opportunity, or if they have already made up their minds to join Sun Jiajun.
After listening to the report, Sun Ce's face couldn't help but look a little ugly, and said: "Although our army repelled the strong attack of Zhang and Qiao today, it also lost many soldiers, and many soldiers were injured. If Zhang and Qiao make up their minds to attack for a few more days, our army is afraid that it will be difficult to hold it! ”
As soon as Sun Ce's words came out, all the soldiers changed darkly, and Huang Gai, who was still wrapped in bandages on his body, was not afraid of affecting the wound when he heard it, so he slapped a few times, and stared at him: "The so-called soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and my Sun family army has never been weak, but if that Zhang and the bridge come, we will fight one soldier and fight with it to the end!" ”
"General Huang is right!! At most, one death!! What's the deal!? I am willing to serve the Sun family with my strength!! ”
"That's right!! I'm also willing~~!! ”
"I'm willing too~~!!"
In an instant, many soldiers present were excited by Huang Gai and responded one after another. At this time, Zhou Yu smiled. Huang Gai was secretly looking at Zhou Yu, and when he saw him smile, he immediately frowned and asked, "Everyone is determined to fight to the death!" Why are you laughing on the sidelines? ”
Zhou Yu listened, shook his head lightly and smiled, and said, "Hehe, General Huang has misunderstood." I am just very pleased to have such a group of martyrs to assist the Lord. It's just that I think that General Huang and all the soldiers can rest at ease, because Zhang and Qiao should not send troops to attack in the near future. ”
As soon as Zhou Yu said this, Huang Gai couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked, "How can the military advisor say this!?" ”
Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and immediately replied: "Speaking of which, that Qiaorui has fought against me so far, and he has lost to me dozens of battles, big and small, and I am afraid that his prestige in the army has fallen to the bottom." Therefore, before Qiao Rui is not completely sure, he may not fight lightly. ”
"He won't, but Zhang Xun has a vicious eye, but he can't say for sure!" At this time, a person suddenly shouted, and everyone looked at it, it was Ling Cao, who was quite active today.
Zhou Yu nodded approvingly to him, and immediately replied: "Kun Tao is right, that Zhang Xun is not an ordinary person, and he must also see that if he attacks it for a few days, it is very likely that he will be able to defeat our army." But you never thought that it was the bridge that was in charge of the Runan army now. Qiao Rui has no intention of fighting, if Zhang Xun wants it, but because of the lack of troops, it will not help. Therefore, Zhang Xun had to find Qiao Rui to borrow soldiers, but Qiao Rui had earned an unknown amount of oil and water in Runan over the years, and it is said that he still had a treasury hidden in his home. But you also know that Yuan Shu is a person, if Zhang Xun can make a great contribution this time, far beyond the bridge Rui, Yuan Shu will definitely not think of the old feelings, remove the bridge Rui, and let Zhang Xun replace him! Because of this, Qiao Rui absolutely refused to lend the team to Zhang Xun! ”
only listened to Zhou Yu's careful analysis, and everyone was fascinated by it for a while. After Zhou Yu finished speaking, Ling Cao couldn't help but praise with admiration: "The military advisor is strategizing, he is like a god, and he is really a celestial man!" My Sun family army has a military advisor in charge, how can I not worry that the great cause will not be accomplished!! ”
As soon as Ling Cao's voice fell, all the soldiers also responded one after another, completely forgetting that Zhou Yu drove Cheng and Han away not long ago. Huang Gai secretly looked at it in his eyes, and suddenly sighed in his heart with some embarrassment: "Now that there are more young talents like Zhou and Ling around the lord, it has given the army a new atmosphere, and it seems that we old people will not have much chance to show Xiàn in the future." ”
Unbeknownst to him, the change in Huang Gai's expression had already entered Zhou Yu's eyes. Zhou Yu suddenly smiled and said leisurely: "General Huang, don't be discouraged, the lord will build a foundation in the future, but you old people still need to help, after all, if you talk about fame, these newcomers such as me are not as deep as you." ”
Zhou Yu's words had a somewhat meaningful meaning, and when Huang Gai heard it, his heart suddenly jumped, and his heart seemed to churn, and he suddenly showed ecstasy. When Zhou Yu saw it, Huang Gai instantly cheered up, smiled brightly, and immediately did not forget to look at Sun Ce.
