Chapter 245: Fierce Battle
The battlefield gradually quieted down, and the fierce fighting calmed down. More than 100 warships and more than 10 fireboats attacked, or they were about to sink, and the fire turned into torches burning on the river, illuminating the river and the sky red; Blood stained the surface of the river, the corpses of soldiers on both sides floated with the waves, the air was filled with the smell of blood, and the sound of burning flames was heard in the ears; The firelight reflected the faces of Sun Jianjun's soldiers, and as the victorious side, they did not feel the slightest joy.
The herald quickly climbed the Kuiguan city wall, came to the back of Huang Zhong, who was anxiously waiting for the battle report, and clenched his fists and said, "The governor ,......."
Huang Zhong turned around and asked urgently, "How is the battle going?" ”
The herald said with a sad and indignant face: "Our army failed to break through the enemy's defense line, and all 3,000 sailors were killed!" General Deng Quan was seriously injured and is being rescued! ”
Huang Zhong was furious: "Damn! Glancing at the herald, "How is the battle situation on Queen Zhurong's side?" ”
"The Wolf Poison Army was defeated by Sun Jian's army by land and water, and has withdrawn."
At this moment, another herald rushed up to report: "Governor, Queen Zhurong is back. Before he could finish speaking, the sound of horses' hooves came from the next place. Huang Zhong looked towards the city and saw Zhu Rong, who was tall in leather armor, galloping to the city gate under the escort of more than a dozen female soldiers. Zhu Rong gave up his war horse and quickly climbed the city wall. Huang Zhong greeted him. When the two met, Zhu Rong said with a look of shame: "Dudu, I failed to complete my mission!" Huang Zhong said: "The queen doesn't have to blame herself! Sun Jian's army advanced by land and water, and the queen's 30,000 wolf poison soldiers were indeed difficult to resist the enemy! ”
Zhu Rong hurriedly asked, "I don't know if the navy army can achieve results?" ”
Huang Zhong frowned and shook his head, "The three thousand sailors were all killed, and they failed to break through the enemy's defense line!" ”
Zhu Rong's heart was shocked, and his face showed a solemn expression. He hugged his fists and said, "Dudu, should all the Leopard Tao troops be transferred?" ”
Huang Zhong walked to the side of the road wall and looked at the endless barracks of Sun Jian's army under the city pass, but Hangzhou did not arrive: "Although I have this authority, I can't transfer it!" Turning around, "I really don't hide it from the queen, although we can fully believe the queen and most of the people in Nanzhong, we can't believe Meng Huo, Lujin Pass must leave a certain number of troops in case of accidents, and Chengdu can't completely leave no army!" ”
Zhu Rong nodded in understanding. Thinking of Meng Huo, she really didn't understand, she didn't understand what Meng Huo was obsessed with? Do you still dream of winning the world in the Central Plains! Zhu Rong felt a little funny, and also felt a little sad, it is impossible for the Nanzhong forces to dominate this world! For the sake of future generations, they can only choose the best lord to serve! In her opinion, Lu Bu should be the best lord!
Zhu Rong retracted his thoughts, thinking of the current situation, he couldn't help but be worried, and frowned: "Sun Jian's naval army is extremely powerful, I really don't know how long we can hold out!" Huang Zhong also looked solemn. frowned and said resolutely: "Hold on as long as you can!" If you can't hold on any longer, you will use this old life to be loyal to the general! ”
Zhu Rong looked at Huang Zhong with some shock.
Suddenly, a blaze burst from the northwest. Huang Zhong and Zhu Rong hurriedly looked at the firelight, and Zhu Rong exclaimed: "That seems to be the direction of the pontoon bridge!" ”
Huang Zhong said decisively: "Queen, you guard the city wall, I'll take a look!" Before he could finish speaking, the man had already descended the staircase.
And at this moment, Sun Jian's army, which had not really attacked the city, poured out of the camp and suddenly launched a fierce attack on Kuiguan! Zhu Rong commanded the barbarian army and the Han army to meet the battle, and the battle was extremely fierce.
On the other side, Huang Zhong led a group of light cavalry out of the West City Gate, turned west through a bay mouth, and rushed to the vicinity of the river where the pontoon bridge was located. Seeing that the other side has been lost, Sun Jian's army is attacking from the pontoon bridge, and the defenders on this side are fighting with the enemy, and they are about to be unable to resist!
Huang Zhong immediately untied the old yellow bow, aimed at the enemy generals in the army and fired three arrows in a row, the arrows were not in vain, and the three generals of Sun Jian's army fell off their horses one after another, Sun Jian's army was shocked, and the offensive was frustrated. Huang Zhong took advantage of this opportunity to lead a thousand cavalry to rush up, rushing Sun Jianjun to the ground, and then killed Sun Jianjun and rushed across the pontoon bridge, and many Sun Jianjun who had no time to escape were knocked into the water, struggling to drift with the current.
Here, Zhou Tai saw Huang Zhong rushing over like a tiger coming down the mountain, and immediately led the soldiers around him to meet him.
The two sides fought on the bank of the river. The soldiers on both sides roared and brandished their blades, and one by one the soldiers were cut to the ground, and blood gushed wildly; Huang Zhong and Zhou Tai fought endlessly, Huang Zhong made a big knife, such as the golden armor god will come, majestic, Zhou Tai wielded a long knife to chop horses, like a river evil Jiao! The two of you come and go, the blades are vigorous, and the sky is dark, and the sun and the moon are dark!
After thirty rounds, Zhou Tai showed a sign of inadequacy, Huang Zhong took the opportunity to rise to his might, and the big knife continued to slash down, as if it could split the mountains with a single knife! Zhou Tai parried more and more hard, and he was horrified in his heart!
Kill! Huang Zhong roared, carried the knife with both hands, and slashed hard against Zhou Tai, the big knife tore through the air with a whirring sound, thrilling! Bang...... The big knife looked heavily on Zhou Tai's long knife for chopping horses, Zhou Tai only felt that the power of Wan Jun fell on his head, and the whole person trembled, the war horse couldn't stand such a force, and fell to his knees with a scream!
Huang Zhong continued to carry the knife to Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai heard the creaking sound of the weapon rubbing, and felt the pressure on the top of his head getting bigger and bigger, pressing himself as if he was nailed to the ground inch by inch! Clenched his teeth, beads of sweat the size of beans overflowed on his forehead, his hands were slowly pressed down, and he was about to lose his support!
At this moment, a group of soldiers rushed up, raised their spears and stabbed at Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong frowned, had to abandon Zhou Tai, brandished a big knife with both hands, and the soldiers were immediately cut to the ground with guns. Looking up to find Zhou Tai again, he had been rescued by several generals.
Huang Zhong scolded in annoyance, urging the war horse to wield a big sword and kill the enemy soldiers.
Huang Zhong then ordered everyone to withdraw to the north bank, and ordered people to burn the pontoon bridge.
The flames burned, and from a distance, it looked as if a flame had cut through the river. Immediately, the flame broke into more than a dozen knots, rushed down the current, and gradually extinguished in the river.
The army attacking Chengguan stopped the attack after learning that Zhou Tai's attack had failed.
The battle was over for the time being, and the mountains and rivers became silent again.
Sun Jian summoned all the generals to the Shuizhai Mansion to discuss the ship, and he planned to launch a major military operation.
Let's turn our attention to Guandu. The Guandu battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao has entered a critical moment at this moment.
