Chapter 1177: Zhou Lang is defeated
In the face of disasters that cannot be resisted by human beings, there are also people who refuse to accept their fate. At the moment before the collision of the bridge www.biquge.info, dozens of figures jumped up in the air, like a large peng with wings spread, and rushed straight to the deck.
The leader is none other than Zhou Yu, the general of Eastern Wu!
The bright red cloak is like spreading wings, hunting and fluttering in the wind, and the tooth blades on the war spear are like sharp teeth and sharp beaks, like flies that volley their prey, Zhou Yu gathered all his anger in this pounce, and the target was Gan Ning, who had just fallen back to the deck and was still a little staggering.
At this moment, Zhou Yu's killing intent against Gan Ning was still above Li Yi.
When this person was still in Jingzhou, he fought with the Jiangdong Navy several times, blocking the Jiangdong Navy's plan to annex Jingzhou, plus today's ......
The iron cable failed to complete the role of blocking the enemy, and the plan to board the boat and seize the ship fell through most of the time, and it was not difficult to jump ship, but it was difficult to jump into the ship that was rapidly colliding with it.
There is no need to look back, Zhou Yu also knows that only the most elite hundreds of people can successfully board the ship. Although the loading capacity of the ships is limited, there will not be many sailors on board, but the difference in strength is still too great.
From a more practical point of view, if Gan Ning can't be solved as soon as possible, Zhou Yu himself may not have the opportunity to play.
In his heart, he didn't want to admit it. But it turns out that Gan Ning's martial arts are no worse than him, and his adaptability to water warfare is equally good. If you want to distinguish between the superior and the inferior, you have to fight three or five lilies.
At this time, the battle situation is urgent, and it is the time to race against time, how can he have the leisure time to fight Gan Ning alone?
The best way is to take advantage of the fact that the opponent's old power is exhausted and the new power is not born, and kill it with a round of fierce attacks!
"Xingba beware!" Zhang Yun watched Zhou Yu pounce in the air, only to feel the wind blowing in his face, his whole body froze, and he had no way to lend a hand at all, so he could only shout a warning.
"It's just in time, I don't have to look for you!"
When he raised his head suddenly, the strong wind brought by the war spear cut his face like a sharp blade, and he felt a faint pain, but Gan Ning was not shocked and rejoiced, shouted, raised his knife to fight back, and pounced.
"Bell!"
The sound of the collision of gold and iron from the full force of the two fierce men was like thunder, and even the sound of the collision between the battleship and the pontoon bridge was suppressed.
Zhou Yu rolled in the air and almost landed outside the deck, and his steps were still a little stumbling when he landed, obviously shocked by the force of the countershock.
Gan Ning hurriedly responded to the battle, and his injuries were even more serious, the corners of his mouth were bloody, and even the machete in his hand was broken in two.
Neither of them cared, they just stared at each other, and the fanatical battle intent in their eyes burned like a blazing fire.
Zhou Yu raised the halberd in his hand diagonally, pointing at Gan Ning from afar; Gan Ning wiped a handful on the corner of his mouth, took off the two halberds from his back, knocked them on his chest, and made a crisp sound, and then, he smiled nonchalantly and said loudly: "Come again!" β
"Humph!" Zhou Yu snorted angrily, and his momentum instantly increased to the extreme, and the person walked with the gun, the gun turned into a swimming dragon, moving forward like lightning, and with a murderous aura in the sky, he rolled towards Gan Ning.
Gan Ning did not show weakness, and greeted him as soon as the halberd was raised.
"When! While! When ......" the sound of the clash of gold and iron suddenly sounded, and the figures of the two were already indistinguishable, and all that could be seen was the cold light brought by the halberd blade.
Both of them are super-first-class powerhouses in the world in martial arts, and they were on a par for a while.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Zhou Yu's side is okay, the ship has terrain restrictions, it is difficult to carry out a siege, he and the more than 100 dead soldiers who boarded the ship with him can still be maintained for a while, but the situation on the north shore has been completely reversed.
The garrison of the Tang Army, which had just been beaten backwards, suddenly had the courage and launched a counterattack against the Eastern Wu army with a shout.
In the woods in the distance, behind the mounds, tens of millions of ambushes and reinforcements came out, they erected spears like forests, threw feather arrows into the air as if they didn't need money, and then fell like hailstones, and the huge army formation that could not be seen at a glance was like a huge wave, and it was about to swallow up the army of Eastern Wu that had crossed the river.
In the previous battle, Xu Shu left spare strength, on the one hand, it was to lure the enemy, and more importantly, the defensive operation could not go all out as soon as it came up, and the reserves must be left in case of accidents.
Now that the pontoon bridge has been broken and the navy that has sneaked back to help has taken control of the waterway, it is the best time to launch an all-out counterattack, so naturally there is no need to make any reservations, and it is the king to destroy the remnants of the enemy on the north bank as soon as possible and deter the enemy forces on the south bank.
The Eastern Wu Army, whose retreat route was cut off, was already restless, and it was not psychologically prepared enough for the counterattack of the Tang Army, and the battle line was beaten back more than ten steps at once.
The position on the beachhead was not spacious in the first place, and there were many people crowded, and there was suddenly no room for maneuver in this retreat.
The huddled Soochow army became a live target, suffering heavy casualties under the saturation cover fire launched by the Tang army.
The troops that crossed the river first paid the most attention to speed, and the degree of armament was limited. A small number of heavily armored troops fought the enemy in front of the formation, and the rear were all lightly armored soldiers.
The archers of the Tang Dynasty are mainly garrison legionnaires, and their archery skills and coordination are only unsatisfactory, but at this time, there is no need for any archers, as long as they have the ability to pull the bow away and throw the feather arrows out.
The dense rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun, and every time it rose and fell, it would stir up patches of blood mist on the river beach.
No matter how red the river was, the sun couldn't bear to look at it, and it tore through a cloud and covered his face, not wanting to emit more heat and provoke more killing.
However, once war begins, it will not be diverted by any will of existence, and the only thing that can end it is victory or defeat!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the south bank, Zhu Huan couldn't worry about Zhou Yu and the robes, because Sun Jian had already killed him.
For Sun Jian, Zhu Huan's mood is very complicated. Although he has not served directly under Sun Jian, or even under Sun Ce, he is the person directly promoted by Sun Quan, but he has always heard the story of the old lord Sun Jian and grew up.
However, he never imagined that one day he would face this old lord on the battlefield.
In fact, similar to Zhu Huan's mood, there is also Sun Jian.
In any case, Dongwu is his heart's work, the emperor of Dongwu, and his son. Although he didn't like Sun Quan's second son very much, he felt that the kid's mind was too deep, and his personality was not like him at all. In this respect, the eldest son Sun Ce is more like him.
However, the tiger poison does not eat its children, and now he is leading the army to attack the army of Eastern Wu, which is completely betraying his past, and even extinguishing his son Sun Quan's only hope of turning the tables.
It's just that Sun Jian understands better that even if he doesn't do this, Soochow can't be the opponent of the Tang Dynasty, which is related to the comprehensive national strength that Li Yi said to him.
Today's Datang is ten times that of Dongwu in terms of population, military strength and wealth, and even the land area of Datang is ten times that of Dongwu.
Under such circumstances, Datang does not have to play any conspiracies with Dongwu at all, and purely crushing it with strength, Dongwu is completely hopeless.
In this case, it is better to take action yourself, so that you can kill and injure as few soldiers as possible in Eastern Wu, so that there will be fewer orphans and widows in Jiangdong in the future.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Sun Jian held a Zhangba spear and hit the Eastern Wu army formation.
Behind him was a sharp array of hundreds of spearmen and more than a thousand sword and shield men, who shook off the large force behind them and quickly rushed forward.
This is the standard attack array. Sun Jian wanted to stop Zhu Huan with a fierce attack, and prevent him from taking any actions that could affect the friendly forces on the north bank and the big river.
As long as the first wave of the offensive can hold on to half a pillar of incense, the Tang soldiers who have been killed can calmly set up the second and third military formations. As long as the offensive continues, and when the battles on the north bank and the river are decided, the Soochow army on the south bank will have no choice but to lose.
The army led by Sun Jian was not many, only 5,000 people. However, they are all veterans of the Royal Forest Army who have fought for many years, and their combat experience and fighting ability are not comparable to ordinary armies, and the armor and weapons equipped are also extremely sophisticated.
In a matter of moments, Sun Jian had already caused four Dongwu generals to fall from their horses one after another. This kind of killing efficiency can attract hatred very much, and a leader of the Shanyue clan rushed over on horseback, waving an iron thistle bone in his hand like a windmill, looking at the posture, it was almost as if he was going to directly knock Sun Jian into the air.
This Shanyue leader didn't know Sun Jian, and he didn't know that Sun Jian had no intention of killing the Eastern Wu soldiers.
Sun Jian was not in a hurry, and at the moment when the two approached, he suddenly squatted, the tip of the spear forward, and the tail of the spear reached the ground.
"Poof!" The war horse didn't even have time to neigh, it died tragically in an instant, and the spear was broken into two pieces, and then the rider was thrown into the air by a huge inertia and fell to Sun Jian's feet like a broken pocket.
Before the Yamakoe generals who had been smashed to pieces got up from the ground, the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army who followed behind had already arrived and tied him up.
The soldiers are strong and brave, and they can't be easily stopped, let alone the Eastern Wu army that was attacked on three sides.
The Eastern Wu army in front of the cone formation retreated one after another, and some of the soldiers under the leadership of LΓΌ Meng tried to outflank and go around behind the enemy. It turned out that the troops coming from the east were stretched into long columns, and people kept rushing to the battlefield, and then automatically replenished to the cone formation, so that he had no idea where to start.
Although the Eastern Wu army on the south bank has more than 10,000 people, twice as many as the Tang Imperial Forest Army, it is not an opponent at all in terms of combat effectiveness and morale.
The victory is decided, but the fierce battle continues.
The clash of blood and iron fills every corner on both sides of the water. No one can stay out of the situation, whether it is for victory or survival, you must spare all your courage and strength to fight until the last moment.
The Eastern Wu army was no longer fighting to turn the tide of the war, and the troops on the north bank began to retreat. The way of retreat was very inefficient and dangerous, and most people jumped into the river with a plank.
Using this method to fight against the rapids of the water can be described as a life-or-death move, but with the super strong water nature, there is no hope of success, but the real danger still comes from people, because the first thing to determine the victory is the battle on the river.
