Chapter 498: The Lord of the Great Murderer
The black pillar of light rose to the sky, dyeing all the suns in the sky black, and the boundary of Jingzhou suddenly dimmed.
After hundreds of people found out about this scene, they hid in their homes and prayed that the gods would end this vision as soon as possible.
In Xiangyang City, Zhou Yu was stunned and looked at the pillar of light in the distance, in his position, he could clearly see the range of the pillar of light, that position was near the City Lord's Mansion, and he passed by there a few hours ago.
He knew what was causing it, but it was this that made the people even more frightened.
"The Lord of the Great Evil, who can only be called a person who has experienced boundless slaughter and brought endless calamities, who is it? Was it Cao Cao's subordinates or Cao Cao himself? If it's a subordinate, then it's okay to say, if it's Cao Cao, it's not good. Zhou Yu muttered to himself, not even caring about the battle in front of him.
Cao Hong and Le Jin's advance killed Zhou Yu more than once, and without the containment of the top generals, Zhou Yu couldn't bear it alone.
"Kill, capture Zhou Yu alive, the one wearing the red brocade robe is Zhou Yu." A loud roar recalled Zhou Yu's thoughts.
Looking at the Cao Jun who was killed, Zhou Yu hurriedly retreated, and while retreating, he ordered everyone to evacuate Xiangyang City, and now he can't take care of it too much, the lord of the big murder is too important, and he must understand who it is.
Zhou Yu's retreat made the army fall into a panic, their undefeated military god had been defeated, plus they had not slept all night, and their will to fight was very weak, which caused great chaos and was easily broken by Cheng Yu.
However, Cheng Yu was also frightened by the black pillar of light, and after dispersing Zhou Yu's army, he did not move, waiting for Cao Cao's order.
Outside the city, Liu Bei's army routed the remnants of Dian Wei and rushed towards the open city gates.
When they arrived at the city gate, just in time for the evacuation of Zhou Yu's army, they were blocked by countless Zhou Yu's army, so that the speed of the cavalry suddenly stopped, and the front was their own friendly army, and countless cavalry fell to the ground, and the scene was slightly panicked for a while.
Fortunately, Liu Bei and the three arrived in time, otherwise Liu Bei's cavalry would have to fight with Zhou Yu's army first to stop all this.
Pacify the cavalry and order them to go outside the city to stand guard, leaving a distance for acceleration, otherwise Xu Shu's physical strength will not be so easy to recover.
When everything was over, Liu Bei saw Zhou Yu, only to see Zhou Yu's tired face, it seemed that last night's battle had consumed him a lot.
"Governor, are you alright?" Without waiting for Liu Bei to speak, Gan Ning rushed forward first and carefully observed Zhou Yu's body to see if he was injured.
Zhou Yu saw the intact Gan Ning, smiled at him, and said: "It's okay, thanks to Xingba, otherwise I will definitely not be able to go back, by the way Xingba, you go and appease the army and see how many ...... are left."
After listening to this, Gan Ning went directly to prepare, to gather all the remaining Wu army together, and not let them panic.
After Gan Ning left, Zhou Yu came to Liu Bei's side and respectfully bowed, which was a thank you to Liu Bei.
Thanks to Liu Bei for coming to the rescue, this prevented him from being wiped out.
"Where, Mr. Gongjin, please get up, this is what you should do." Liu Bei hurriedly helped Zhou Yu up and said polite words, but he was very happy in his heart, and only Sun Ce could do it if he could make the arrogant Zhou Yu like this.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu behind Liu Bei were disdainful and very unhappy with Zhou Yu, who made Zhou Yu handsome and outstanding.
"Gong Jin is very grateful here, but the battle of this trip is not over, we have all fallen into Cao Cao's calculations, after my understanding......" After that, Zhou Yu told Cao Cao's traps, telling everything he knew, and there was no private hiding.
After Liu Bei and the three of them listened, the smiles on their faces all dispersed, and when they learned that Cao Cao had two top generals, their faces became very ugly, and now it seems that Cao Cao has six top generals and two top strategists, which is completely superior to them in terms of high-end combat power, and they will definitely lose if they continue to fight.
As for the lord of the great murderer, they don't care very much, anyway, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, there is nothing to think about.
Now temporarily repel Cao Cao's army, but when Cao Cao's army reacts, it will be difficult for them to win.
After a while, Liu Bei called Xu Shu and the three of them to share the current information, and strive to negotiate a safe method in the shortest possible time.
In the end, Zhou Yu and Xu Shu set up a phalanx for battle, that is, to destroy Cao Cao's living forces, even if they were all defeated, they could buy time for Wu and Shu, as long as they had time, they would have a chance of winning.
After the discussion, everyone did not dare to slack off, and directly launched an attack, taking advantage of Cheng Yu's inaction in the city, to kill the open city gate.
Even the remnants of Zhou Yu's army began to attack, and after receiving Zhou Yu's order, they slowly but surely slaughtered into the city, regardless of their physical exhaustion.
The next battle lasted until the evening before it was temporarily stopped, because Liu Bei and Zhou Yu's army was already running out, and if they continued to fight, they would also be in danger.
Now the city gates are being occupied, and a tug-of-war is being fought.
Guan Yu Zhang Fei Ganning stood at the gate of the city, waved the weapons in his hands vigorously, repelled the Dian Wei people who rushed again, and then with the bonus of the strategist skills, killed and injured the enemy's soldiers, and then when the enemy generals reacted, they fled directly, and so on, striving to eliminate the number of enemy soldiers.
Outside the city, Xu Shu has collapsed to the ground, he has exhausted his physical strength, he has fallen asleep, and by his side, Zhou Yu is about the same, and now he is close to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong in blessing skills, but the power is not as good as before.
Guan Yu and the three of them withdrew from Xiangyang City again, this time, they were also tired enough, and when they returned to the temporary camp, they sat directly on the ground, and they didn't care if they were elegant or unsightly.
"Second brother, third brother, what's going on in the city?" When Liu Bei saw the three returning, he hurriedly beckoned the soldiers to bring food and water, so that the three of them could recover their strength, and while eating, they asked about the situation in the city.
"Big brother, the situation is not very ideal, although we have killed a lot, but the number of Cao Jun is still considerable, if it weren't for Cao Jun not taking the initiative to attack, the three of us would not be able to come back." Guan Yu replied truthfully.
After Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Gan Ning's tones were similar, although they didn't know why Cao Jun stuck to Xiangyang City and didn't come out to kill them, but it was like this that gave them a chance.
After Liu Bei got the information, he let the three of them rest and continue to attack after half an hour, while he came to Xu Shu and the others to watch their state.
When he learned that Xu Shu had not woken up yet, his face turned pale, and when he knew that Zhou Yu's situation was not good, his face became even more ugly.
"Lord, the latecomer is coming, and when the time comes, we won't be like this." Zhuge Liang reminded me appropriately.
They are all cavalry in the vanguard, although their combat effectiveness is amazing, but they are not very good at siege, and they still have an advantage in terms of foot soldiers, and the foot soldiers behind are 500 million troops, which can be made up in terms of quantity, so that Guan Yu and others will not be so tired.
"Kong Ming, I'm not afraid of that, but once Cao Cao reacts, what can we do?" Liu Bei expressed the anxiety in his heart at this time, not only Liu Bei thought so, but Zhuge Liang and others were similar.
They were all wondering why Cao Cao didn't order an attack, just let Cheng Yu and others defend the city, was he crazy?
Such a good opportunity was missed, what was Cao Cao thinking? Could it be that there are bigger traps waiting for them?
When Liu Bei and the others were breathing, the atmosphere in Xiangyang City was very evil.
Last night and today's war, countless residents were affected, their houses were destroyed and displaced, originally according to Cao Cao's personality, they would be arranged to live, but today, all such residents were ruthlessly killed, which made Cao Cao lose most of the people's hearts in Jingzhou.
As for Cao Cao, he fell into a deep sleep, he was promoted today, it was too weird, the black pillar of light made Cao Cao directly unconscious, no matter who could not wake Cao Cao, otherwise Zhou Yu would have been killed long ago.
In order to protect Cao Cao's safety, Guo Jia had to order the army to stay in the city, even if the enemy came forward, he could not leave the city, and everything waited until Cao Cao woke up.
Outside Cao Cao's room, all the strategists were nervously walking back and forth, and three of them were sitting on chairs, with obviously different statuses.
Looking at their clothes, you can also find that they are not ordinary, among which the golden lace is Guo Jia, as the first strategist under Cao Cao, his status is the highest, even Cao Cao's sons are not as high as Guo Jia's status, followed by Cheng Yu with silver edge and Sima Yi with the same silver edge, compared with Guo Jia, the status is too bad.
Because Cao Cao had not woken up, many strategists whispered a little and began to discuss what happened today, speculating about various possibilities.
"Fengxiao, what's wrong with the lord?" Cheng Yu found that the situation was a little bad, if these strategists were suspicious and suspicious, the morale of the army was very bad, and with Liu Bei's backup coming, the hard battle was still very long, and it was impossible to mess up.
"Yes, Lord Fengxiao, what's wrong with the lord?"
"Please let me know."
"Please let me know."
Cheng Yu's inquiry pushed Guo Jia into the crest of the waves, but Guo Jia was not angry, he was very pleased, Cheng Yu did this to help him, he was confused by Cao Cao's affairs at the moment, so he didn't notice the current state.
"Whew. Take ......a deep breath, Guo Jia looked around, they were all familiar people, and he didn't find any outsiders, he nodded and began to speak.
"The lord has been promoted."
When this news came out, many strategists looked puzzled, how could they be promoted to be unconscious, wouldn't it be Guo Jia who appeased them?
Without waiting for everyone to ask, Guo Jia continued.
"The lord is not promoted to an ordinary profession, but an extraordinary existence, have you heard of the lord of the great murderer?" Guo Jia asked rhetorically.
Hearing Guo Jia's question, most of the strategists were even more puzzled, not understanding the meaning of the Lord of the Great Murderer.
Only Cheng Yu and Sima Yi's faces changed abruptly, they remembered something, and when they completely remembered the introduction in the book, the expression on their faces returned to indifference, and then they shut up.
The two of them did not speak, and the other counselors did not dare to interject.
"Ha, what kind of sneaky person will give me death." Suddenly, there was a roar outside.
Then the sound of arrows rushing into the sky sounded, and the huge roar informed everyone that this was Xiahou Yuan's arrow, and it seemed that Xiahou Yuan had discovered something.
After waiting for a cup of tea, the voice of Xiahou Yuan asking to see him came from outside.
"Let General Miaocai in." Guo Jia spoke directly and asked the attendant to open the door.
After Xiahou Yuan came in, he first inspected the circle, and then respectfully saluted Guo Jia.
"Dare to ask your lordship, have you ever seen anyone go out of here?" Xiahou Yuan's question made Guo Jia stunned for a moment.
Looking back for a long time, I didn't think of anything.
"Miaocai, the door has been closed, only you come in, no one goes out." Guo Jia's words made Xiahou Yuan nod, and he guessed who it was.
"Lord Fengxiao, someone from Youzhou came just now." Xiahou Yuan said with a solemn face.
