Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Bloody Battle of Wu County: A Tragic Victory

This battle was fought extremely fiercely, the two sides fought from dawn to dark, and then from dark to dawn, the sound of drums, shouts of killing, and the sound of soldiers above the west city gate were in full swing, and there was no interruption all night.

Above and below the city, corpses are piling up like mountains, blood is flowing like a river, and the water of the guard river has turned blood-red, and both sides seem to be red-eyed and can't stop.

Whether it is Wang Lang or Sun Quan, so far, they are fighting to hold on, and they have all exhausted the last trace of their troops, and even went into battle in person, without the slightest reservation, to fight such an offensive and defensive battle.

The Huiji army is going to advance, and they know that they will only have vitality if they take Wu County, so they will not hesitate to advance even in the face of the sea of swords and fire.

The Jiangdong Army has to defend it, and the county town behind it is the dignity of the Jiangdong Army, and it is better to die in battle than to take half a step back, so it is defended.

"Give the order to go down, Mingjin, collect the troops, rest for an hour, eat the last food, and after an hour, we will prepare for the final blow! Win or die! ”

In the morning light, Wang Lang gritted his teeth tightly, his tired eyes burst out with a decisive coldness, staring at the big banner of the word 'Sun' at the head of the city, and his hoarse voice sounded.

After fighting all night, he used all his means to personally cut down a few retreating generals, forcing the soldiers of Huiji County to fight to the death, but he still failed to take Wu County, he was unwilling.

"No!" A few heralds immediately went to Mingjin.

"Sun Quan, I don't believe it, I can't consume you, today, either you die or I die." Wang Lang squinted his eyes, he didn't care about Wu County anymore, he just wanted to defeat the young Sun Quan who was in front of him, his arrogance would definitely not allow himself to be defeated at the hands of a young man who had not yet reached the crown.

This battle has reached this point, there is no technical strategy left, both sides are fighting for will, what Wang Lang didn't expect was that Sun Quan, a weak-crowned boy, actually insisted on this part.

He had to admit that Sun Quan's tenacity, the average general, who he underestimated, even if Cheng Pu and Huang Gai's generation came to defend the city, in the face of his insane attack that didn't care about casualties and was crazy, the West City Gate had already fallen into his hands.

However, he, Wang Lang, will definitely be able to break through this city gate.

At this time, at the head of the city, in a hazy morning mist, Sun Quan looked at the soldiers who suddenly retreated, without the slightest joy, only a more solemn look.

"Wang Lang, you are really the number one person, you can actually let these inspectors hold on to this point, and they haven't collapsed, okay, Lao Tzu will accompany you to consume, see who dies quickly, all departments, report the number of people immediately!"

Sun Quan's eyes swept across his chest, and he looked at the soldiers on the city wall, panting, his eyes widened, and he shouted.

"Childe, there are only five hundred soldiers left under Tian's command!" Zeng Tian's face was hideous, his voice was a little choked, and he said in a low voice, the most elite soldiers and horses under his command, so he has always resisted the front line, and the casualties are the greatest.

"Childe, there are only five hundred people under your command!" Zhu Zhi stood up, and he led the army to gather all the county soldiers after the convergence.

"Childe, there are only six hundred people under Ben's command!" What Sun Ben led was just a young man who was temporarily recruited, and his combat effectiveness was not great.

"Childe, there are about a thousand people left under Sheng's command!" The soldiers and horses under Xu Sheng's command are the prisoners who came out of the prison, all fierce, Xu Sheng and Lei Ding are both first-class fierce generals, plus hundreds of death row prisoners broke out and were put to death and survived.

Although they resisted the front line and killed the most enemies, the casualties were the smallest, only a few hundred usually slippery, dodged, and did not dare to face the battlefield, and those who were greedy for life and afraid of death died instead.

"Han Tao, you immediately go and let the people below, within a quarter of an hour, prepare the broth, meat buns, and rice crackers, we have to quickly replenish the body, and then fight the last battle!" Sun Quan squinted his eyes and said firmly to the young man beside him.

"No!" Han Tao nodded.

Sun Yi and Han Tao, two teenagers, fought last night, did not leave Sun Quan's side at all, went into battle in person, and killed a few enemy soldiers, it can be regarded as such a fierce and cruel battle, Han Tao had seen a lot when he fled from Jizhou, so it was easier than Sun Yi to fit a battlefield, Sun Yi's appearance was a little worse, and his combat effectiveness could not be exerted fifty percent, if it wasn't for Sun Quan to be protected, he would have died a long time ago.

"No need, Childe, I've got these things ready in the morning." At this time, Zhang Zhao walked up in the dust, and dozens of fireheads behind him brought up the food.

"Great, all listen to the order, eat, replenish the body, and then we fight with the thieves under the city, if you die, double the pension, my Sun Quan guarantees in the name of the Sun family, and hand over his money to each of your relatives, and those who survive are my Sun Quan's brothers for life, people die and birds rise to the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years!"

Sun Quan stood at the highest place at the head of the city, staring at the generals and shouting, which was the last morale boost.

"People die and birds rise to the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years!" The war has come to this point, and even those young men who had only gone to war a few days ago have faded away from their most primitive fears and become a beast.

"Lei Ding, do you regret taking someone to the battlefield with me?" Sun Quan bit a piece of rice cracker, walked over to the lean man who came out of the prison, smiled, and asked.

"As long as you don't regret it, I won't regret it, I killed a total of twelve enemies today, and each of the death row prisoners under my command killed at least three enemies or more, don't forget it!" Lei Ding was full of energy, a rice cake and a meat bun in one hand, and said heartily while eating.

Sun Quan had to admit that these death row prisoners were the most ferocious group of soldiers and horses, and if it weren't for them, I am afraid that the city gate would have fallen.

"Hahaha...... As long as you survive, you can make a difference! Sun Quan patted him on the shoulder, laughed, and said.

More than an hour later, the first sun had risen, and under the golden sun, there was a knock and a knock...... Bursts of drums rang out, and the guild guards began their final assault.

"The son of the Huiji, fight to the death, and if it doesn't succeed, he will become benevolent and kill him." Wang Lang was completely insane, and as a civil official, he took the lead and directly led the troops to charge.

"Brothers, block it, block it for me, block it is victory!" Sun Quan also went crazy, and his voice became hoarse.

"Childe, it's not good, the eastern city wall has broken a gap in their battering ram, and the guild guards have already killed it." In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhu Zhi's face was bloody, and he hurriedly walked over and said loudly.

"Lei Ding!" Sun Quan shouted.

"Here!" Lei Ding slashed off a soldier who rushed up from the ladder, and immediately walked up and said.

"Let Xu Sheng resist here, you lead two hundred troops, immediately support the east gate, resist the east city wall, and can't let the enemy kill in!"

"No!" Lei Ding immediately threw down two hundred soldiers, shouted loudly, and rushed to the head of the eastern city.

"Is it really unstoppable?"

Sun Quan watched the soldiers under the city rush up like a wave of water, and couldn't help but gasp, he went into battle in person to keep the morale of this desperate battle, and there were already several scars on his body.

But still can't you hold it?

No, you must keep it, behind you is Wu County, the Sun family, and his relatives.

A cold glow erupted in Sun Quan's eyes, and with a sword in both hands, he stepped up, suddenly cut off an enemy, and shouted: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!"

At this time, every Jiangdong soldier was desperate, if it weren't for the two brothers Sun Quan and Sun Yi, such a cruel battle would have collapsed early in the morning.

"Sun Quan, Wang Lang of a certain family, wants to kill you!" The Huiji soldiers were killed, and the formation was no longer clear on the city, and it was a mess, Wang Lang led hundreds of guards, pointing directly at Sun Quan, who was a hundred steps away.

"Wang Lang, if you have the ability, kill me, my Sun Quan is waiting for you here!" Sun Quan glanced at it from afar, and also saw Wang Lang, smiled coldly, and shouted.

Click......

At this time, suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves outside the city sounded that resounded through the sky, shocking the two sides that were fighting, such a heavy and complicated sound of horses' hooves, at least a thousand people.

Sure enough, when I looked at the city, I only saw the overwhelming flags shining in the distance, and a black crowd of people was surging.

"Hahaha...... Reinforcements are coming, our reinforcements are coming, brothers, hold on to your last breath, we are the victors! Sun Quan's eyes lit up, and he let out a long howl, cheering up the last soldier.

"Kill!" This time it was a real reinforcement, and everyone could feel the unparalleled momentum of the Jiangdong Army, and one by one they suddenly cheered up, bursting out with the last trace of combat effectiveness.

"The giant deer Pan Feng is here, he will be a thief, and he will surrender quickly." Pan Feng had a surprise attack last night when the battle was at its fiercest, but let Wang Lang, who had been prepared, put down ten crossbow carts, blocked back, and kept looking for a hurry, but fortunately received reinforcements, so he killed them directly.

"Jiangdong's sons are not surprised, Ling Cao is here, Huiji has let the general take it, Guo Yi is dead, you surrender quickly, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

At this critical moment, Ling Cao, who led two thousand Jiangdong cavalry and came day and night, finally arrived.

"The tide is over!"

Watching thousands of cavalry join the battlefield, Wang Lang's face turned white, as if he was dozens of years old, and he was only holding the long sword in his hand, he was unwilling, but now, he was only unwilling.

With the addition of more than 2,000 cavalry, it became a straw that finally overwhelmed the Huiji soldiers, and only less than 7,000 of the Huiji soldiers collapsed, put down their weapons, and surrendered.

Xu Fang asked Xu Sheng to cut off his head with a knife and died in battle, Wang Lang used too fierce means in order to fight to the death in order to make the Huiji soldiers fight to the death, and was imprisoned by his own subordinates, and in desperation, he wiped off his neck and committed suicide.

The Battle of Wuxian ended with a crushing victory for the Jiangdong Army.
