Chapter 1174: Zhan Zhao VS Chen Wu

Zhou Yu followed the hope and saw Chen Wu's figure. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Most of the generals of Eastern Wu gave the impression to later generations that they were not good at force, except for Sun Ce, Gan Ning, and Tai Shici, none of them could be included in the first-class ranks.

From a certain point of view, this is a misunderstanding, the reason why the military force of the Eastern Wu generals was relied on is low, there are two main reasons, one is because most of them are not good at riding, fighting on the battlefield, the difference between having horses and not having horses is very large, and whether the riding skills are good or not is an extremely important criterion. The second reason is that most of the wars fought in the Koto region are water battles, and it is difficult for individual forces to be brought into full play.

For example, Chen Wu in front, his martial arts are not bad, but he was born as a water thief and is only good at water warfare and foot combat. His 94 armed forces, if he were to fight with Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, and Gao Changgong, who had similar force values to him, he would definitely not be an opponent; But if it's a foot fight, then it's impossible to say who wins or loses; And if it was a water war, Chen Wu would definitely beat Zhang Liao and others.

Now is the perfect time for him to play.

I saw him swing his halberd, and a gap was swept out of the surroundings in an instant, and then he took a step forward and swept the halberd, and the gap instantly increased, and the Eastern Wu army behind him quickly followed, filling the gap he rushed out of, and squeezing the Tang army into the distance.

Chen Wu used such a wide opening and closing move to fight a bloody way in the neat phalanx of the Tang army.

The distance was too far, and Zhou Yu's eyesight couldn't see clearly, how many people fell under Chen Wu's halberd, and he only saw that the other party's leather armor slowly became red.

Then, he saw the halberd break, and Chen Wu smashed it into the enemy formation, knocking down one of the standard-bearers.

Then, he saw Chen Wu grasping a war knife in each hand, slashing horizontally and vertically, as if entering a no-man's land.

The Eastern Wu Army was progressing so smoothly on the other side of the river, but half of the credit fell on Chen Wu.

This kind of scene is the time for the generals to show their bravery.

"Makes sense." Zhou Yu nodded, suppressed the surging battle intent in his chest, his fingers stroked the blade of Xueliang, and his eyes were full of murderous energy, "It's okay to wait and see." ”

Seeing that the striker had gained a firm foothold on the opposite bank, the morale of the Soochow army was greatly boosted, and they ignored the rain-like arrows and stones, and rushed to the pontoon bridge like a tide.

The 30,000 horses who followed Zhou Yu to the north were all descendants of the troops who followed him in Jiangdong over the years, and they had already been branded by him Zhou Yu.

In all senses, today's battle is not inferior to the battle when Xiang Yu crossed Zhangshui and broke the Qin army under Julu City. Under the dual influence of the determination to break the kettle and the battlefield where it can play its strengths, the power of this army can only be described as terrifying.

The people who built the bridge were affected, and the speed of their hands suddenly increased. Regardless of the final outcome of the war, as long as the bridge is built, they may be able to withdraw from the battlefield alive, instead of dying in a foreign land, and their bones will not be buried in the ground.

With the help of the cover of the forwards, two more pontoon bridges were completed one after another, and the speed of moving troops forward increased by three times.

Rao is like this, the Eastern Wu army still feels that it is not fast enough, they use the remaining rafts, back and forth between the surging waves, covering the sky and arrows, and they actually want to use this as a supplement to transport troops!

Driven by this frenzy, the vanguard of the bridgehead actually beat the Tang army's phalanx back with fewer enemies and more enemies, and the space vacated became larger and larger, and more Eastern Wu troops poured onto the riverbed and rushed to the enemy position.

The Tang army guarding the river bank was mainly a garrison corps, and it was not surprising that it could not stop the onslaught of the elite of Eastern Wu. In fact, their performance is already very good, if they are replaced by an ordinary rabble, and they are so rushed by the Eastern Wu army with the determination to die, maybe the entire military formation will be penetrated.

In this regard, Tang Jun naturally could not sit idly by.

The key to defending the danger is not to completely prevent the enemy from crossing the river, but to launch a siege while the enemy is not firmly established. Form a local superiority in troops, kill and wound the enemy in large numbers, and disintegrate the morale of the enemy's troops. If the enemy is easily allowed to gain a foothold on the beachhead, then the situation will be reversed as the enemy's forces across the river increase.

The rapid offensive of the Eastern Wu army was mainly launched from Chen Wu's point, and in the relatively limited scale of grappling, the role of brave generals could be maximized.

Xu Shu has followed Li Yi to fight in the south and north since the first year of Chuping, and it has been nearly 20 years now.

However, Xu Shu's family knows his own affairs, although his martial arts are not bad (force value 81), but he is by no means a fierce general known for his bravery, if he is dealing with ordinary generals, he can still fight with others, but the general of Dongwu in front of him is obviously a first-class master, and he goes up to deliver food to others.

Fortunately, Xu Shu was also prepared for this, and he turned around and gave an order to the soldiers behind him.

The next moment, I saw that the Tang army array was divided to both sides, and a general wearing silver armor and holding a spear rushed out with more than 100 elites, aiming directly at Chen Wu, who was slashing and killing in the crowd!

This person is none other than the Tang Dynasty Zuo Du Yushi Zhanzhao.

Although Datang is as fierce as a cloud, there is no one left in Jicheng now. The only two fathers and sons, Sun Jian and Sun Ce, who are famous for their bravery, were also impeached by the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Tang Dynasty because of the "intermediate" of the Tang Dynasty Imperial Court, and were "retained pending investigation".

It was precisely because of the Tang Dynasty's "plan" and the change of generals that Zhou Yu decisively decided to launch a forcible crossing. Otherwise, in the face of Sun Jian's defense, Zhou Yu really didn't dare to make a mistake. After all, he is very aware of the old lord's ability, not only is he strong in martial arts and superior in commanding ability, but what is even more powerful is his understanding of water warfare. With the garrison of Jicheng, if Sun Jian commanded the army, he would not have much hope of winning.

However, Zhou Yu never thought that there would be a peerless general with superior force like Zhanzhao in Jicheng!

Zhanzhao is not a general in the ordinary sense, he is good at solving cases and arresting criminals, so he is very good at foot combat. This is also in line with the battlefield environment in front of them, after all, the location of the battle between the two sides is a tidal flat, and the war horse cannot play a big role at all.

However, as a martial artist, Zhanzhao also yearns to fight on the battlefield. In the past, because of his position, he had no chance to go into battle and kill the enemy. Now that he finally got such an opportunity, Zhanzhao is naturally full of fighting spirit.

"Death to those who stand in my way!" Zhan Zhao roared loudly, and the spear turned into an oolong, piercing a military marquis who met him. The right arm was raised and the left arm was pressed down, and the barrel of the gun suddenly sank, and the enemy's body was actually picked up in the air and thrown into the crowd in front of him as a weapon.

A soldier of the Eastern Wu Army, who had been injured and fell to the ground, tried to roll forward and take the opportunity to hug his thigh, but before he could roll to the position, Zhanzhao had already sensed the danger and dodged flexibly. The spear in his hand reversed and accurately pierced the throat of the sneak attacker, robbing the opponent of the last trace of life.

Zhan Zhao sneered, stepped on the other party's body, and Chang Feng stepped forward again. Picking up two wooden shields and stabbing the knife hand behind the shield, like a tiger descending the mountain, Jiaolong Tengyuan, simply beat back the momentum of the Eastern Wu Army and opened a passage in the crowd.

Along the bloody path of the main general's killing, the soldiers rushed up in formations, tearing the gap in the enemy formation bigger and bigger.

"The thief is rampant, give me my life!" Chen Wu couldn't see it well, so he roared angrily and swung his knife to kill.

The Eastern Wu army, which was killed by Zhan Zhao, suddenly perked up, knowing that it was invincible, and fought bloodily to the end just to delay time.

Chen Wu didn't look at the little soldier in the grappling, and stared at Zhan Zhao intently. Before the roar fell, the sword light had already arrived, and a snow drill was slashed like lightning, and as long as it was slashed, it would definitely be able to chop the enemy in half.

Zhan Zhao turned around quickly, and while knocking it on the side with the blade of the gun, his figure flashed again, and he came to dodge.

But Chen Wu's sword skills were a few points higher than he expected, he progressed and rubbed his body, the blade drew an arc violently, and actually broke away from the contact with the spear blade, dragging the electric light, and slashing diagonally towards Zhanzhao's waist ribs.

If this knife is slashed, Zhanzhao will have to be cut in two. Fortunately, Zhan Zhao is not a weak person, his 97 force value is not given in vain, although the spear in his hand cannot be used in this kind of close combat, but his body is very agile, and his feet are linked, and he actually dodged Chen Wu's killing knife purely by step.

Chen Wu, who took the lead, was as tight as a knife, and the knife did not leave Zhanzhao's neck and two ribs, exerting his fierce power to the extreme.

But Zhanzhao did not fall behind, the gun walked lightly, his body was like a swimming fish, and he interpreted agility and dexterity to the fullest, and the two fought like this.

Chen Wu's spearhead was blocked, and the offensive of the Eastern Wu army also stalled.

The Tang army put out a classic spear phalanx, and the larger the area of the engagement, the more conducive it was to exert its power. In a battle with only a few dozen or even a few people in the contact area, the power of the spear array cannot be exerted, and purely with the combat power of the garrison legionnaires, it is naturally not the elite opponent of Eastern Wu.

However, as the battle line grows longer, the power of the spear array is being revealed. Originally, with Chen Wu's assault, he could also tear a gap in the spear formation, and then expand the results of the battle, but once Chen Wu was blocked, the advance speed of the Eastern Wu army immediately slowed down.

The two armies entered a brief stalemate.

Of course, the balance can't be maintained for long.

Seeing this scene, the fierce fighting intent in Zhou Yu's chest could no longer be suppressed, he threw his cloak behind him, lifted his halberd, pointed his blade at the opposite bank, and shouted: "Sons, kill the enemy with me!" ”

"I am willing to die for the general!" In an instant, thousands of people roared in unison, suppressing the earth-shattering shouts and killings, and the surging waves trembled.

Zhu Huan didn't advise this time, he knew that he couldn't persuade him, the soul of this army was this elegant Jiangdong commander. They were accustomed to fighting by Zhou Yu's side, Zhou Yu was on the front line, or under the command of the Chinese army, and the momentum shown by the Eastern Wu Army in these two states was completely different.
