Chapter 30: Two Death Battles

"Governor, no!" After about half an hour, Zhou Tai led the commando team with more than half of the casualties back in frustration, looking at Zhou Yu's face was a little unpleasant, Zhou Tai gritted his teeth and said: "There is only one path in the back mountain, which is far less spacious than the main road in the front mountain. If the mountain is attacked from there, the Xuzhou army only needs a few hundred people to hold the pass. ”

"Got it!" Zhou Yu's tone was cold and authentic, which made people shudder when they listened. "Give the order to go down, let the soldiers rest in shifts, and keep attacking. No matter how many dead and injured there are today, I have to take Shenting Ridge and capture Zhao Botao alive, I will kill him with my own hands and avenge Brother Bofu! Zhou Yu's order finally made Cheng Pu and the others feel a little relieved, after all, it is better to rest in shifts than to rush up. In fact, the reason why Zhou Yu forcibly attacked overnight in such a way almost regardless of casualties was of course on the one hand, but on the other hand, he knew that the reason why the Xuzhou army was so fanfare to block himself in Shenting Ridge was by no means untargeted, and there was something wrong with Wu County, so he made up his mind to rush to Wu County as soon as possible to make sure that everything was safe. Thinking of this, Zhou Yu also ordered someone to take out a carrier pigeon carried with the army, and the flying pigeon passed a message to tell Sun Quan that he was slightly hindered, and he would probably be able to arrive tomorrow morning.

"Attack Shenting Ridge and capture Zhao Botao alive!" At the beginning of the third wave of the offensive, the command staff of the Jiangdong Army had already begun to incite the soldiers to shout this slogan. Thousands of people shouted this mantra all over the mountain, and then rushed to the mountain, either actively or passively. "Damn, what did you take me for so much face?" Zhao Feng saw that a ** Jiangdong army was rushing up like crazy, and his soldiers were doing everything possible to stop them. This kind of scene reminds him of the old movie "Red Talk", in the end, the People's Liberation Army also roared to capture Zhang Lingfu alive, hoping that he would not end up with the whole army destroying and committing suicide today.

"General Zhao, are these Jiangdong miscellaneous people crazy?" Another wave of attacks was repulsed, Chen Zhi wiped a handful of blood from his face, and asked hatefully. "Leave them alone, pay attention to the defense, what about the casualties of the soldiers?" Zhao Feng asked in a deep voice. Now he is the backbone of this defender, not only does he think so, but even the enemy acquiesces.

"So far, there have been 2,000 casualties, and the elite soldiers of Baier have also been killed and wounded almost 100!" Chen Zhi was a little unbelievable. Zhao Feng looked up at the sky, at this time should have been at least five hours to block the enemy, and now it should be almost midnight, and there is still more than an hour before the second watch.

"Hold on, I think the Jiangdong Army is dead at least five thousand!" Zhao Feng comforted. Although the terrain of Shenting Ridge is quite gentle, it is a mountain range after all, and when the Jiangdong Army attacks from the front, it can only dispatch a maximum of 2,000 people at a time, otherwise the formation will not be able to spread. Fortunately, the Xuzhou army was able to effectively kill and wound the enemy while preserving its strength.

"Whoosh!" It was Huang Zhong who shot an arrow again, and another Dubo of the Jiangdong Army was shot through his chest again. This is already the twenty-seventh officer who died under his arrows, and the Xuzhou army that is trying to defend is still full of colorful voices and morale in the midst of his busy schedule. The Jiangdong Army had long known that the Xuzhou Army had a veteran of archery skills who specialized in sniping and commanding officers, and they were a little uneasy for a while, and the attack efficiency was greatly reduced.

With the thirtieth commander killed by Huang Zhong's arrow, this wave of attacks was also repulsed, and this was already the eighth attack launched by the Jiangdong Army. "Keep attacking, don't stop!" Zhou Yu's cold words made Tai Shici, who was about to make a suggestion, swallow the words back into his stomach. "Zhou Yu is desperate, it seems that he wants to avenge Sun Ce!" Zhao Feng saw that the Jiangdong army was attacking the city with such efforts, and it didn't take long for him to figure out the key. Seeing that the Jiangdong Army was preparing to organize the ninth wave of attacks, Zhao Feng also took the opportunity to take a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then yelled at Zhou Yu at the bottom of the mountain: "Zhou Yu, you bastard!" You're just a shit piece of garbage, and no one will play with it if you throw it in the yard! Your mother doesn't have an asshole, your dad sells an asshole, and you have a rotten asshole! Learn to cry at the age of one, learn to laugh at the age of two, learn to stand at the age of three, learn to climb at the age of four, learn to peek at the age of five at the bath of his wife, and was castrated into the palace as a eunuch at the age of ten! His voice was high-pitched, and the Shenting Ridge was not too high, and there was no shouting at this time, most of the officers and soldiers of the two armies could hear it clearly, and there was an uproar immediately.

Zhao Feng was still unsatisfied, and then scolded: "You are a fake man, and you met Sun Ce, a fake man, so you became a Jiangdong governor." You two fake men, blind the beautiful wives of the family! After this call, Zhao Feng felt really refreshed, and the resentment of being suppressed and beaten for a long time seemed to be gone.

"General Zhao, your scolding words are also a little poisonous!" After listening to it, Chen Zhi reminisced for a long time, and then expressed his admiration to Zhao Feng. "Sacrifice ugliness and sacrifice ugliness, he was captured alive for a long time, and the clay man also has a local surname!" Zhao Feng said with a smile.

"Zhou Yu, fake man! Zhou Yu, fake man! "Chen Zhi and Zhao Feng are still touting each other, and the crossbowmen under Huang Zhong's command over there have begun to collectively scold the street in a rhythmic manner." Sure enough, he is old and strong, and his learning ability is no worse than that of young people! Zhao Feng sighed, and Chen Zhi nodded again and again, fully agreeing.

"How can it be!" Zhou Yu's handsome face under the mountain was already red with anger, and he had never seen such a vicious shrew scolding the street. "The Grand Governor, the last general is willing to lead another group of men and horses to kill the Shenting Ridge and kill Zhao Feng's dog thief!" Tai Shici also gritted his teeth. To say that Zhao Feng scolded too harshly, even the dead Sun Ce was scolded by him. However, now that the two armies are clashing, he can't take care of Jikoude.

"Zhou Tai, go up with me again!" Zhou Yu said angrily, Zhou Tai heard that he had also personally selected a team of men and horses, and was about to kill them up the mountain. But Cheng Pu, who heard it on the side, panicked: "Metropolitan Governor, fire, Wu County is on fire!" Zhou Yu turned his head to look far away when he heard the sound, Shenting Ridge was only twenty miles away from Wu County, but he saw that the direction of Wu County was indeed on fire.

"General, Wu County is on fire!" On the Shenting Ridge, Chen Zhi was also excited and said to Zhao Feng. "Very good, let the soldiers fight hard to defend, and the Lord will send someone to rescue us after the Lord settles Wu County!" Zhao Feng stood taller, and in addition to the fire, he could vaguely see the figure of someone fighting in Wu County.

In fact, as Zhao Feng expected, the city of Wu County was indeed in a scuffle at this time. Because Shenting Ridge and Wu County are not far apart, since the confrontation between Zhou Yu and Zhao Feng began in the evening, Sun Quan and others in the city have already heard the movement, and even Sun Quan personally led the officials to the head of the West City to check. Later, I received Zhou Yu's flying pigeon biography, and then I realized that it was blocked by the Xuzhou army. Fortunately, the reinforcements were only twenty miles away, and although they did not converge, they finally saw it, and Sun Quan and the others felt much more at ease. At the same time, Xu Gong was afraid that Zhou Yu would break through the defense and come to reinforcements, so after hesitating for a while, he actually united his comrades, and did not wait for the agreed second watch, so he took the risk of opening the south gate.

His early launch made the Xuzhou army outside the city a little unable to react. Fortunately, the attention of the defenders was focused on the battle of Shenting Ridge in the west, and there were not many defenders at the south gate. After Xu Gong entangled a thousand people, he opened the city gate under a sudden attack. However, how could the combat effectiveness of Xu Gong's private soldiers composed of these temporarily assembled domestic servants be as good as the regular army, and not long after Ma Zhong, the guard general who was patrolling nearby, heard the news and led his troops to kill, and the two sides fought at the south gate, and Xu Gong was suddenly defeated.

Seeing that the city gate was about to be recaptured by the Jiangdong army, Wen Ping and Xu Sheng, who were ambushed outside the south gate, finally led a commando team into the city and fought a fierce battle with Ma Zhong's men and horses. At this time, there were less than 300 people left under Xu Gong's command, as long as he gave Ma Zhong another cup of tea, he could recapture the city gate, but Wen Ping would definitely not give him this opportunity.

"Help me!" Xu Gong is a civil official, and this kind of fighting scene makes him already frightened, if it weren't for the desperate guards of a few doormen around him, he would have died a few times. Ma Zhong hated him for colluding with foreign enemies, but led his army to target him and beat him hard. At this moment, Xu Sheng led his army forward to intercept Ma Zhong's battle, and Xu Gong finally escaped with his life and was escorted out of the city.

"Is Your Excellency Xu Taishou?" Wen Ping saw a civil official who was escorted out of the city by everyone, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask. "It's Xu, who is the unknown general?" Xu Gong agreed repeatedly.

"Hire below!" Wen Ping replied, and Xu Gong hurriedly thanked Wen Ping for saving his life. "Xu Taishou is too polite, and Wen is also acting on orders. Uncle Liu Huang is in the tent, the fight is in full swing here, it is not very safe, Taishou should go to see my lord first! Wen Ping was very polite, and personally pulled Xu Gong to see Liu Bei.

"Thank you, thank you!" Xu Gong was grateful, and at this moment, a stray arrow shot down from the city, and Wen Ping pulled Xu Gong as if intentionally or unintentionally, and after the latter staggered a step, the arrow hit him right in the back of the heart.

"Huh?" The flying disaster caught Xu Gong off guard, and then death quickly struck. At the moment before he lost consciousness, he seemed to hear Wen Ping say: "I'm sorry Xu Taishou, you know too much!" ”

Xu Gong's unexpected death was just a small episode, and more and more Xuzhou troops entered Wu County through the south gate and engaged in street battles with the defenders in the city. Without the tall city wall as a cover, the gap in the combat effectiveness of the infantry of the Jiangdong Army and the Xuzhou Army was suddenly reflected. Sun Quan and the others were not generals who were good at commanding on the spot, so the defenders almost relied on the instinct of survival to start a fierce battle with the Xuzhou army, and the balance of victory and defeat gradually tilted to the side of the Xuzhou army.

The night of scuffle did not end until the east was slightly white. Soon after the fierce battle began, Zhou Yu also knew from the mouth of the returning Tanma that Wu County was about to fall, and he was even more crazy when he was already attacking, and he ordered people to attack Shenting Ridge at all costs.

"General Zhao, this fake man is in a hurry!" After repelling another wave of attacks, Chen Zhi was also out of breath. "Uncle Zhi hold on a little longer, I see that Wu Jun's shouting and killing have stopped, presumably the lord has already taken the city, and he will be able to come to reinforce us immediately!" Zhao Feng wiped a handful of blood splashed on his face, regardless of the pungent smell of blood, he still tried to encourage Chen Dao.

"Got it!" Chen Zhi also understood people, and when he heard this, he didn't say anything anymore, and prepared to defend the next attack of the Jiangdong Army. At this time, the mountain road was already full of the corpses of the Jiangdong Army, and the corpses of the Xuzhou Army who died in battle were all dragged back and placed on the top of the mountain. Zhou Yu was in a hurry to capture Shenting Ridge, but he didn't even have time to collect the corpse.

"It's broken!" Zhou Yu listened to the shouting and killing sound of Wu Jun in the distance gradually disappeared, and suddenly had a trace of ominous premonition in his heart. Just then, a horse that had been sent out hurried back to report to him.

"Grand Governor, Wu County is lost!"
