This siege, how do Zhao Wu look at how it is much more tragic than the siege of the previous two days, the siege of Yiyang City in Yiling two days ago, but how do you feel that these soldiers don't seem to use much force, but today is different, it can be said that the soldiers used their lives, which makes Zhao Wu puzzled, has Zhou Yu reached the advanced level of making these soldiers hate the enemy because of their injuries?
But obviously Zhao Wu was too worried, at this time in the Jiangdong camp, Gan Ning urged the soldiers to step up the siege of the city, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, every time you kill an enemy soldier, you will be rewarded with one or two yellows, and the official will be promoted to one level, even if the brothers die, I Gan Ning promise to give your family, with my Gan Ning as a guarantee, this matter is absolutely true, and I hope that all the brothers will use their lives, and a good future is ahead." ”
It turned out that it was Gan Ning who promised heavy profits, after all, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, this is indeed true, plus most of the Jiangdong soldiers also knew that there were not many soldiers around Zhao Wu, but they had more than 100,000 people, so they naturally had the confidence to fight Zhao Wu to the death.
After all, it is the elite of Jiangdong, so ruthless, the shortcomings of the soldiers brought by Zhao Wu instantly leaked out, although they can also be called elite, but after all, most of the original soldiers of Jingxiang lack of experience, at this time, seeing Jiangdong's ruthlessness, some of the soldiers even have some hand tremors, but fortunately, the legs are not shaking, otherwise Zhao Wu estimates that he can abandon the city and run away.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Wu was also a little helpless, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said to Zhou Cang and Zhou Lian beside him: "You and the others don't have to follow me, each bring three hundred guards to stabilize the situation, there is still a lack of training!" ”
Although this is the case, but the ferocity of the Jiangdong army is also beyond Zhao Wu's expectations, I saw a Jiangdong army just went to the city, was stabbed to death by a soldier, but when he was not dead, he slashed the big knife in his hand to the soldier who was about to draw the gun, so fierce side also scared Zhao Wu, and some Jiangdong soldiers who attacked the wall often came up and swept it, and they could kill one, which was lucky, even if they couldn't kill it, they had to pull down a pad before they died.
Zhao Wu was also a little scared to be made like this, not for anything else, because he now only has a total of more than 6,000 people, even if he calculates the ratio of one to three, he can't afford it, not to mention that now it is at most one to two, and the outline in his heart is not good, and there are several times, those soldiers' big knives have been rubbed against Zhao Wu's side, which makes Zhao Wu feel afraid, although Zhao Wu is also a military general.
It is more than enough to deal with these soldiers, but in such a city capture battle, it is completely different from usual, because these soldiers are crazy, even if they die, they have to throw the weapons in their hands and use them to kill people, this horse is simply a group of dead soldiers, thinking of the dead soldiers, Zhao Wu's eyes are cold, these Jiangdong soldiers must not stay, otherwise it will be a big disaster!
Then Zhao Wu didn't stay on the city wall anymore, and returned directly to the City Lord's Mansion, pacing back and forth in the courtyard, thinking about countermeasures, but no matter what kind of countermeasures, what is the use of having generals in his hands and no soldiers? Thinking of this, Zhao Wu's brows furrowed, and in just one hour, Zhao Wu's soldiers had already suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and the Jiangdong army had also suffered 5,000 casualties, but don't forget, the other party has 100,000 troops, relatively speaking, these 5,000 are simply negligible.
Zhao Wu was thinking about it, and saw Huang Zhong come to Zhao Wu covered in blood and said: "Sacrificial wine, think of a way, the Jiangdong Army's offensive is too fierce, the day before yesterday was not so fierce, today is simply a group of crazy people attacking the city, and now we have lost many people before, if we continue like this, at most five hours, our army will be defeated." Huang Zhong said with a worried face, after all, Zhuge Liang asked them to hold on for three days, but fortunately, they didn't attack the city so tightly when they were in Yiling before, otherwise I'm afraid it would be three days, and it would be good to be able to hold on for one day.
When Zhao Wu heard this, he sighed helplessly and said: "Old general, there is a way to retreat from the enemy, but there are generals without soldiers, so there is only one word when it is not finished." ”
"What's that?" When Huang Zhong heard that Zhao Wu had a way, his eyes lit up, and he asked, now Huang Zhong feels that this battle is very comfortable in the front, but it is not at all cool in the back.
"Wait!" Zhao Wu looked up at the sky and said softly.
Huang Zhong was stunned and said, "What are you waiting for?" ”
Zhao Wu said with a smile: "Of course, we are waiting for reinforcements, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, the crisis will be solved!" ”
Huang Zhong frowned and said, "Sacrificial wine, this kind of reinforcement is also a strategy?" But what if we don't hold out and reinforcements arrive? What should I do then? Abandoned city? ”
Zhao Wu waved his hand and said: "The old general can rest assured, there is absolutely no need to abandon the city, the sentry cavalry will report that the army led by Yide has been less than two hundred miles, as long as we hold on for three hours, then we will win this battle." ”
Huang Zhong was shocked when he heard this, and said to Zhao Wu: "Okay, I'll go to the city to inform all the soldiers of the good news." ”
Zhao Wu smiled and nodded, and at the same time, he knew that he could get the news, and I was afraid that Zhou Yu's sentry would also get the news, so what we had to see now was whether Zhou Yu could take Zigui within three hours, or whether I could hold out for three hours.
As Zhao Wu expected, Zhou Yu had already received the news at this time, and Zhou Yu ordered in a deep voice: "At the expense of casualties, give me all my strength to attack the city, and be sure to take this city within two hours, otherwise our army will lose this battle!" At this time, Zhou Yu had already laid down and rested in Jiangdong Dazhai, his body was also very weak, his hands were still not good, and he was still bumped on the horse for so long, it is strange if the wound did not burst, you must know that it was three wounds, don't think about it if you don't rest for a few months, but Zhou Yu not only did not rest, but was angry with Zhao Wu again, although it was not serious, but it was also a boredom in the chest, resulting in poor qi and blood, and he was directly planted off the horse.
At this time, the Jiangdong Army's offensive was extremely fierce, and the city wall was almost taken by the other party several times, if it weren't for Zhao Wu's own personal guards to support it, I'm afraid it would not be Liu Bei's territory now.
And Zhao Wu has also been stubborn, grabbed the spear that he didn't know what to do, and put out fires everywhere on the city wall, although Zhao Wu's martial arts are not proficient, but he is also a general anyway, these Liu Bei soldiers saw that Zhao Wu was like this, and naturally they used their lives.
Although this is the case, but at this time Zhao Wu is full of bitterness, because at this time there are less than two thousand left in the army of six thousand, and they are all wounded, if Zhang Fei does not come early, I am afraid that this Zigui City will be lost tonight, before this Zhao Wu has already written a letter in his hand, ordering Zhou Cang to personally take it to Zhang Fei.
In the letter, Zhao Wu told Zhang Fei to slow down his march, as long as he arrived at Zigui before dark, and at the same time let the soldiers maintain their combat strength, and do not let them be exhausted.
Zhao Wu was looking forward to it, and Zhang Fei did not disappoint Zhao Wu, even Zhao Wu's personal guards were all injured, and when the ordinary soldiers were less than a thousand, Zhang Fei took his army into the city, from afternoon to night, killed for three hours, Zhao Wu was not that kind of fierce man, at this time he only felt a trembling body, looking at Zhang Fei who came to dismount in front of him, he almost didn't fall, and Zhang Fei saw Zhao Wu like this, and directly stepped forward to help: "Deshu, why are you tired like this?" Didn't you tell me to slow down? I wouldn't have listened to you if I had known that. ”
