Chapter 497: Cao Cao Advances
In Xiangyang City, the atmosphere is very strange at the moment, because Cao Cao's way of playing Zhou Yu is to besiege but not attack, as if he is waiting for something.
Except for the occasional fighting, the rest of the time was in a stalemate.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu knew that he had been fooled again, and it was estimated that Cao Cao knew that he had gone to ask for help when he found out that Gan Ning was not there, and the current situation was to prevent the enemy's surprise attack, and he wanted to kill all the people who were sent to the door.
"Hehe, what a good plan, I'm not as good, I'm not as good." At this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly realized, but unfortunately it was too late, even in the current situation, he didn't feel the slightest bit happy.
One billion elites, there are only more than 600 million at the moment, and the rest are all mentally frightened, frightened by the enemy's generals.
The two brothers Dian Wei, Xu and Chu Xiahou are all there, the four top generals, not to mention him, no matter how many top strategists can't withstand it, not to mention the appearance of Guo Jia Chengyu, it can really be said that it is worse than a disaster.
With the light shining in the east, it heralded the arrival of a new day, and it was estimated that after a while, Cao Cao would definitely attack, and his time was running out.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack." Before Zhou Yu could go up to investigate, a loud roar sounded on the city wall.
With the roar, countless arrows fell from the sky, feeling the different attack strength from last night, it seemed that Cao Cao was preparing to attack with all his might.
"Steady, steady, the shield soldiers stepped forward, the archers counterattacked, counterattacked." Zhou Yu's order was also issued quickly.
Hearing Zhou Yu's voice, the army finally stabilized, but they had not slept all night, and they were already exhausted, and only the threat of death kept them excited.
Under the command of Zhou Yu, he once again repelled the enemy's attack, but this made Zhou Yu even more puzzled.
It was obviously thunder and rain, he was strange, could it be a feint, a real attack elsewhere?
About a quarter of an hour later, a scout came running in a panic with bad news.
It turned out that Cheng Yu led the army to capture the east gate, and he was entering the city at the moment, once Cheng Yu came from the east, he would be in danger of being attacked from both sides.
After listening to the scout's words, Zhou Yu hurriedly asked.
"But see clearly, is it really Cheng Yu?" Zhou Yu's questioning was a little strange, which made the scout nervous.
Pondering the scene, he nodded.
"Haha, God help me, notify me, open the city gate, fight a bloody road, whether you can escape depends on whether the soldiers fight for their lives." Zhou Yu's order spread throughout the army in the blink of an eye.
More than 600 million soldiers began to get excited, and the hope of life gave them infinite strength, driving away the fatigue of a sleepless night, and the boulders behind the city gates were moved away piece by piece, waiting for the surprise attack.
With hope, the speed of the army was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, all the boulders were emptied, and then the city gate slowly opened, and just as the army was preparing to raid, there was an earth-shattering shout of killing outside.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu hurriedly ran up the city wall, looked into the distance and found that behind Cao Jun outside the city, he suddenly became chaotic, he must have been attacked by an unknown enemy, and he guessed slightly, he knew who it was.
It must be Gan Ning's request for help that Liu Bei sent troops and horses, but this is exactly Cao Cao's plan, if he goes out of the city, Cheng Yu in the city will occupy this place, attack him on both sides, and then after breaking him, he will take advantage of the situation to solve Liu Bei, and then it will be too late.
If he led his army to raid at this time, at least his army could escape, but Liu Bei's army would not be able to leave, and the pros and cons were fighting back and forth in Zhou Yu's mind, making it impossible for him to give orders.
In the end, he remembered Sun Quan of Wu State, and after weighing it, he made a choice.
"Where is Ziming?" After making his choice, Zhou Yu yelled.
After a while, Lu Meng, who heard Zhou Yu's shout, appeared, although he is only a young general now, but he has shown his power with extraordinary potential, and he is second only to Gan Ning in the army this time.
"Governor, what do you command?" Lu Meng knelt on the ground and looked at Zhou Yu excitedly, this is the pillar of Wu State.
"Ziming, I have a task for you, do you dare to accept it?" Zhou Yu looked at the young Lu Meng and hesitated for a moment before asking.
"The Governor of the Metropolis, please command, the end will be completed." Lu Meng shouted loudly.
"Very good, I will go out of the city with your army of 100 million to meet Liu Bei's reinforcements, and then inform them that after defeating the enemy, rush to the outside of the city to join me, so that Cao Cao's tricks can be broken......" Zhou Yu then informed Lu Meng of some secret matters and asked him to be careful.
After hearing this, Lu Meng nodded emphatically, and then went straight to it.
Under the leadership of Lu Meng, 100 million troops rushed out of the city, although Lu Meng could not fully control this army, but as long as they were given a direction, the elite army would attack on its own.
Anyway, the enemy outside the city was defending against Liu Bei's attack, and he didn't care too much about them.
At the same time that Lu Meng went out of the city, Zhou Yu began to distribute tasks and set traps in the city, but now he can't manage too much, delaying Cheng Yu in the city is the focus, as for the people of Xiangyang City, Zhou Yu gave up directly.
In the face of Zhou Yu's response, Cao Cao was obviously surprised, originally according to his idea, Zhou Yu would definitely escape from Xiangyang with Liu Bei's support, and then use the outside of the city as a battlefield to fight him to the death, I didn't expect Zhou Yu to think of this, it really deserves to be Zhou Yu.
"Fengxiao, how many Liu Beijun came?" Cao Cao asked Guo Jia behind him.
"My lord, it has been ascertained that there are 200 million cavalry, and behind them, there are countless foot soldiers, about 500 million to 1 billion." Guo Jia closed the bamboo slip and said truthfully.
After listening to Guo Jia's report, Cao Cao began to ponder, now he is his pawn outside the city, and it is the cornerstone of his promotion, once all of them are killed, his path to promotion will go further.
Thinking of the failure of the promotion on the Yangtze River, Cao Cao had a little headache, originally according to the results at that time, he would definitely advance, but I don't know why, in the end, all the energy disappeared, making him fail to advance, and even the absorbed energy was gone.
This time, he didn't believe that several times the energy could not make him advance, and he had waited for a long time for this day.
Under his feet, countless dense patterns shone with black light, which was the essence of the death soldiers near the entire Xiangyang City that was absorbed by the formation, and then transferred to Cao Cao's side for Cao Cao to transform into his own ability, as long as it continued, Cao Cao would definitely be able to advance.
Behind Cao Cao, Guo Jia lowered his head and glanced at the light of the magic circle, he was also puzzled by the failure last time, and he didn't understand why this was so.
Is it because Cao Cao is the king of Wei and the king of a country?
"Fengxiao, Fengxiao?" Suddenly, Cao Cao's voice sounded, making Guo Jia raise his head and look over.
"What's the matter?"
"Pass my order, all the armies will attack, give me to kill Zhou Yu and Liu Bei, and I will use their blood to lay the opportunity for promotion." Cao Cao said solemnly.
After receiving Cao Cao's order, Guo Jia nodded, walked out of the room and began to give orders.
Cheng Yu, who was still in the city, brought Cao Hong and Le Jin to attack Zhou Yu's army and wanted to deal with Zhou Yu at once.
Outside the city, in the army that was caught by Liu Bei and Lu Bu, four generals suddenly rushed out, they were divided into two, one general killed Lu Meng, and the other three killed Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they were the four Dian Wei, who had been hidden in the army for a long time, just waiting for the arrival of the order.
The attack of the four of them immediately reversed the tide of the battle for the Cao army, which was about to fail, whether it was Lu Meng or Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they could not stop them, and they were defeated and retreated under the attack.
Lu Meng couldn't help but live and die, he was killed by Xu Chu and fled, if it wasn't for the fact that his body was quite flexible, he had become a puddle of flesh and blood under Xu Chu's mace, Lu Meng had fled, but his army would have ended.
Behind Xu Chu, an elite army began to fight frantically, without the blockage of the generals, the effect of sleepless nights began to appear, the combat power of the Lu Meng army plummeted, and the army was killed by Xu Chu's army, and the remnants fled back to Xiangyang City in just half an hour.
As for Liu Beijun, it was a difficult defense, and in the end, Liu Bei also went directly to the field, with his joining, the three brothers went into battle again, and finally were able to stop the attack of Dian Wei and the three, but their army was not good.
With the help of the power of the three brothers' formation, Liu Bei can act as a top general in a short period of time, and the double-strand sword in his hand is forceful, forcing back Xiahou Yuan, who was killed, pulling out the gap, looking back, and after seeing the heavy casualties of the army, the corners of his eyes are moist, this is his rising capital, and he can't lose it here.
"Yuan Zhi, it's up to you." Liu Bei yelled, and then concentrated on the battle and no longer cared about the things he commanded.
In Liu Bei's army, Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong stood safely on the chariot, even if the situation was critical, they did not make a move, but secretly observed the enemy's movements to see if the enemy still had an ambush, and when Liu Bei roared, they were finally convinced that the enemy's back hand was gone, and they could use their skills with all their might.
"Two brothers, I wish you a hand." Xu Shu jumped out of the chariot, holding a long sword and preparing to wield it.
Zhuge Liang and the two on the side nodded, ready to help Xu Shu.
"Haste."
"Chisel through."
"Divine power."
"Sprint."
……
Ten skills were used in a row, so that more than 100 million cavalry began to exert their might, and with the blessing of skills, the power of the cavalry was fully displayed.
Equivalent to the speed of a charge, an attack with several times the strength, plus a gouge through the enemy's defense line with ease.
In front of the charging cavalry, no matter how many foot soldiers could not stop it, without the jamming of the generals, the cavalry penetrated the enemy's defense line at one time and killed Xiangyang City.
Even the battle of Dian Wei and others was also affected by the cavalry, and when the cavalry passed, they looked at the corpses of Cao Jun all over the ground, just shook their heads and prepared to evacuate.
The evacuation of the three of them made Liu Bei and the three of them breathe a sigh of relief, how to say that Liu Bei is not a red-grade general, and it is a blessing to be able to hold on for so long.
After Dian Wei and the three of them fled, Liu Bei was just about to say something, when suddenly a black pillar of light lit up in Xiangyang City, and the pillar of light was not very thick, so everyone was unsure So, looking at the pillar of light, they were all guessing what it was?
Only Zhuge Liang's expression was a little wrong.
"What's wrong with Kong Ming? Did you find anything? Pang Tong on the side asked.
"The Lord of the Great Murderer, the Lord of the Great Murder ......" did not respond to Pang Tong's inquiry, but just a strong chatter.
In front of the two of them, Xu Shu, who had just rested for a while, saw this, and recalled the meaning of these four words in his mind, and his face also changed abruptly.
