Chapter 14: Zhou Yu, the God of Fire!
The rainstorm stopped.
There seems to be a violent breath brewing in the rolling Yangtze River, and even though the water level has receded a lot, the turbidity is still unsettling. The situation in the Koto region has continued to deteriorate under these circumstances, and even it was heard that their monarch Sun Jian was unexpectedly seriously injured. However, there is no definite information about the specific cause of the injury.
"My lord?"
Huang Yueying looked at Zhao Futu in front of her, and said in a condensed voice: "Let me go, right?" ”
"No way!"
Zhao Futu looked at a large number of unclothed refugees, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to send grain to the Jingnan area, you can either go to Wuxi Port, or you can only pass through Jiangling. Now both sides are not very safe, and after that rainstorm, no bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods can escape. You still stay here to help Guan Feng's assistant, I'm worried that there will be monsters in the world if there are too many dead people! ”
"I've already made up the formation near the city, so there shouldn't be any monsters."
Huang Yueying is the only one under his command who knows the Dao method, although Zhao Futu also knows a lot, but his ability has not yet been unsealed, and his major is also an immortal art based on swordsmanship, about formations, pills, talismans, etc., but only a little bit he learned from Zhang Jiao before. Now the entire plot plane has undergone tremendous changes, and news of the birth of monsters has come everywhere, even Jingnan's side is not very safe.
There's not much food left here.
Zhao Futu must find a way to transport some grain from the Yunnan region in central Shu, and the situation in Yong'an is not known yet, but the situation in Chengdu, Jianning, and Yunnan in Sichuan should be okay. At least the loss will not be as serious as in the Jingzhou area, there should still be a lot of grain, if it really doesn't work, he can only borrow some from Zhang Lu, and if he can't borrow it, he can only attack Hanzhong.
"You beware of the army in Changsha, they may attack this side and seize the grain!"
Zhao Futu glanced at Guan Feng next to him, nodded randomly, the Xuanbing heavy sword on his waist cut through the sky, he jumped lightly and landed on the sword, and randomly flew to the other side of the Yangtze River. After crossing the Yangtze River, he glanced slightly in the direction of Jiangling, and then rushed towards Yong'an's location. This time he didn't take anyone with him, his speed was naturally extremely fast, and he also flew a lot of distances along the way, and arrived in Yong'an territory in the evening.
Compared with the tragic situation in the Jingzhou area, this side is undoubtedly much better.
After Zhao Futu entered the city, he immediately ordered his officials to count the amount of grain, and then collect the grain and distribute it uniformly. If it was somewhere else, such a move would not intend to attract the resistance of the landlord, but under the mind control of the nightmare space, the order given by Zhao Futu was carried out without any discount.
At the same time, grain from Yunnan and Jianning was also delivered under the escort of soldiers.
"Send someone to borrow grain from Hanzhong!"
Even if the grain of the four cities was concentrated, Zhao Futu felt that it was a little insufficient.
Of course, if you want to feed people, there is no problem, but if you want to start a war of foreign expansion, then it is absolutely not enough. In the war situation, the food consumed is almost two or three times that of usual, Zhao Futu can't wait for the situation to change again, he must take advantage of the difficulties in all parts of the country, and expand his territory as much as possible.
Because the plane pan-consciousness has awakened!
"Yes."
Bao Sanniang answered, and quickly ordered the soldiers to set off.
Before leading the army into the Jingzhou area, Zhao Futu had sent a goodwill envoy to Hanzhong, and also sent a large number of ordnance materials. Otherwise, Zhang Lu would definitely not have enough strength to attack Shangyong now, and only relying on the supplies in one place in Hanzhong, even if there was enough food, it would be useless. Now it's time for him to express his attitude, if he refuses to borrow grain, after Zhao Futu destroys Liu Bei, the next target will be him.
Day 3.
A large number of grain and grass baggage were mobilized, and Zhao Futu gathered an army of 50,000 and escorted a large number of grain and grass to Jingnan. At the same time, he also dispatched 15,000 troops from Yong'an, led by Bao Sanniang, to pay attention to the changes in the Gangneung area. The transportation of so much grain and grass, whether it is for Sun Jian or Liu Bei, is a great attraction, and Zhao Futu does not dare to be careless at all. This time, he brought out most of the elite troops, and the entire Shuzhong Yunnan region was newly recruited.
Including the Wudang Flying Army of about 1,000 people, this time he was also brought to the battlefield!
"Report!"
"My lord! There are soldiers and horses gathering ahead! ”
Sure enough, as Zhao Futu expected, the spies sent out soon discovered the enemy's movement of troops and horses.
Jiangling's Sun Ce finally couldn't bear it and was ready to rob him of his military rations, and Jiangling is now a place of three wars, first broken by Zhao Futu, then recaptured by Liu Beijun, and then fell under the attack of Sun Jian's army. Now the entire Jiangling City is a little damaged, and the grain in it was taken away by Zhao Futu when he retreated, and burned when Jiang Wei broke the city.
"Order the whole army to be on alert!"
Zhao Futu frowned and thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Order Bao Sanniang to go east, and we will attack Jiangling City directly!" ”
Now should be the weakest moment for Sun Jianjun, they first fought Liu Bei, and then encountered seven consecutive days of heavy rain, and the flooding in the Yangtze River area also caused them great losses. Although there are many first-class top generals in Jiangling City, Zhao Futu also has 40,000 or 50,000 men and horses, and it is difficult to predict the outcome if it really fights. If the Jiangdong army was peeping around, it would be difficult for the army under his command to cross the river easily, not only because their naval army was strong, but more importantly, Zhou Yu might sneak attack when he crossed the river halfway.
At that time, as long as a few thousand elites were needed, they could cause extremely terrible consequences!
In this case, instead of being beaten passively, it is better to attack Jiangling City directly, and Zhao Futu will see how powerful those first-class historical generals are.
Knock knock!
The army, which stretched for dozens of miles, began to turn around, and female generals such as Bao Sanniang, Hua Wei, Wang Tao, and Wang Yue began to direct the soldiers to approach. Tens of thousands of horses and horses took half a day to approach the location of Jiangling City, and after discovering that Zhao Futu actually intended to attack Jiangling City, the Jiangdong army inside immediately began to shrink, and all entered the city wall to defend. In terms of troops, Zhao Futu has no intention of having more advantages, and besides, there is not much food and grass on the Jiangdong Army's side, and they may not be able to eat enough now.
Gangneung Fortress.
Compared to the last time Zhao Futu arrived, this place seemed even more dilapidated.
At the beginning, the city gate that was breached by Zhao Futu had not had time to repair, and then it was captured by Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei repaired the city, but it was immediately captured by the Jiangdong army. Soon after the Jiangdong army took this place, it encountered seven consecutive days of heavy rain, many houses in the city collapsed into water, and the city wall, which had been repeatedly attacked, had no time to rest. In the end, Zhou Yu thought of a way to directly block the broken city gate before Zhao Futu's army attacked.
Woooooo
The desolate trumpet sounded.
With the help of the Nightmare Space, Zhao Futu activated the hero template, and the soldiers under his command all turned into expressionless dead soldiers, and then attacked Jiangling City. The length of the front stretched for several kilometers, and an army of 60,000 surrounded the city, attacking the three gates in the south, south, and west at the same time.
Before launching the attack, Zhao Futu strictly forbade his female generals to attack!
Because he knows very well how many generals and fierce generals in the Jiangdong Army are here, among all the female generals of Zhao Futu, I am afraid that only Guan Feng, Huang Yueying, and Mrs. Zhurong can fight with them.
"Array!"
The dull sound of war drums began to rush up, and thousands of sword and shield soldiers gradually approached the city wall, and behind them were improvised ladders, rushing carts, and well railings. Under the rain of arrows from the Jiangdong Army, a large number of soldiers fell, but Zhao Futu still did not hesitate to give the order to attack. The historical generals of the Soochow camp began to appear, and these thousand-strong enemies played a huge role, even in the face of a group of elite heavy infantry at the same time.
Gan Ning, Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao, etc., and there is also a [Vulcan] Zhou Yu who has not yet shot!
Perhaps because of the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu's ability in this plot half-plane has been greatly enhanced. Especially for the use of fire, it can be said that it has reached the level of supernatural perfection. It's like Zhuge Liang flooding Liu Biao, Zhou Yu is said to be able to send fires from the sky, and the ancient ingot knife in his hand is a magic weapon.
- "Rocket Strike!" ”
Thousands of archers gathered under the walls and began to shoot at the walls.
Arrows fell on the city, and soon a fire broke out inside. Relying on the superiority in troops, Zhao Futu's army gradually attacked the city wall. But at this moment, the fire in Gangneung City suddenly underwent a strange change, and the aura of the formation appeared on the four city walls, and then the flames everywhere actually gathered automatically.
- "Red Flames! ”
A raging fire fell from the sky, turning into a fiery dragon that enveloped Zhao Futu's soldiers in it.
Zhou Yu's figure appeared on the city wall.
He stood in the midst of the fire, but not the slightest spark touched him.
- "Dance of the Dragons!" ”
Several fire snakes were entangled together, and then transformed into a fire dragon dozens of meters long, letting out an earth-shattering roar, and pounced towards Zhao Futu. The image of the fire dragon is very realistic, the dragon scales, dragon horns, and dragon claws are clearly visible, and the more clearly the fire dragon, the greater the lethality it contains. At this point, Zhou Yu's strength is much more than Guan Feng's, and Guan Feng is only a general outline of the phoenix at most.
Sonorous!
The fire dragon surged out, and the temperature around it rose sharply.
A disdainful smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Yu's mouth, as if he felt that he was looking down on his opponent a little. Because from the beginning of the siege to the present, he did not see the generals under Zhao Futu, but saw several female generals in the protection of the army. There is not a single famous minister and general under his command, how can he be the opponent of the Jiangdong Army.
Can this alone be used by soldiers to take Gangneung City?
When the casualties of the soldiers exceed 30%, even if they don't have much morale to speak of, right?
Therefore, now Zhou Yu almost feels that he has a chance to win, and almost none of the fierce generals of the Jiangdong Army have been dispatched, mainly because he intends to consume the opponent's strength first and reduce the loss of his own troops, and the real opponent is still in Xiangyang. If his losses are too great, it will be difficult to mobilize troops from the Chaisan area now.
The dragon roars!
The sea of fire in the sky seemed to be summoned, turning into a waterfall of flames and descending towards Zhao Futu's figure.
Zhao Futu stood motionless, and when the fire dragon in the sky pounced in front of him, he slowly stretched out his palm, and he accurately stuck the throat of the fire dragon with one hand, even if it was made of flames, not the real thing. But he pinched its throat as easily as if it were a small snake.
"I can't help myself!"
Zhao Futu snorted coldly, and smashed it towards the ground casually, and the transformed fire dragon let out a mournful roar, hitting the ground with a bang, and then a large amount of flames were absorbed by the earth, and the ground gradually showed signs of drying up and cracking. The fire dragon that was caught in Zhao Futu's hands became more and more weak, its body became more and more real, there seemed to be traces of magma in the flames, and the whole body began to crack, and finally turned into dust and fell to the ground.
A faint smell of sulfur fills the air!
