Chapter 113: Gangneung Iron Wall
Cao Ren can really hold it up now.
After the Wu army landed, it had formed a posture of Mount Tai pressing the top, and Cao Ren was once frightened to explain what happened.
But at this critical moment, serious contradictions arose between the two commanders of the Wu army.
Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu are the governors of the left and right, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.
Although Zhou Yu admired Cheng Pu and was willing to cooperate with Cheng Pu on many trivial issues, he knew that the attack on Jiangling was of great significance, and who was in charge was related to the status of history and the distribution of interests among his subordinates.
Cheng Pu also admired Zhou Yu's bearing, but at his age, he couldn't refuse the opportunity to win such a great achievement.
The two first exchanged views amicably, and decided that Zhou Yu would attack the city from the west, and Cheng Pu would attack the city from the south.
The main force of the Wu army was divided into two units, and under the command of the two of them, they fought hard to attack the city, and the Jiangling that was once fought was crumbling, but that day from the morning to the afternoon, seeing that the morale of the army was not high, Cheng Pu thought that Hengzhu could not break the city today, so he simply let his subordinates withdraw first to eat some food, and prepare to fight again tomorrow.
This is also in line with the art of war, and he also sent people to pass on Zhou Yu.
But Zhou Yu's soldiers were stronger, and they had already climbed the city wall in the daytime battle, and were fighting to the death with Cao Ren's defenders, and he was unwilling to give up such an opportunity, so he sent someone to ask Cheng Pu not to collect his troops. But the communication in these years was transmitted by war horses, and when the war horses rushed back to Cheng Pu's camp, Cheng Pu's soldiers and horses received orders to collect troops and began to retreat slowly.
Although Cao Ren was a mess in the water war, he immediately seized this rare opportunity after many years of fighting.
He left Niu Jin to defend the city, and he personally took Chang Diao to reinforce the west of the city, and the Cao army in the west of the city saw Cao Ren coming in person, and immediately boosted their morale, and even opened the door to go out of the city to fight with Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu couldn't hold on, and the soldiers who had climbed to the top of the city were thrown off the city tower one by one, and the screams made the morale of the whole army collapse, and he had no choice but to retreat.
At this time, Cheng Pu received Zhou Yu's request not to withdraw his troops for the time being, and after thinking for a while, he changed the order, letting the rear team change into the front team and continue to attack the city.
The Wu army was already deflated when he received the order to retreat, and this time he turned around and went back to attack the city, naturally reluctantly.
Niu Jin, the fierce general guarding the south of the city, seized the opportunity and immediately led the army to attack, and the two armies collided head-on, and the Wu army was instantly scattered, and the whole army suffered heavy losses.
Cao Ren returned to the south of the city after repelling Zhou Yu, and when he saw Niu Jin so brave, he simply put on his armor and went out of the city again, defeated Cheng Pu, and chased Cheng Pu to the door of Cheng Pu's military camp and showed off his might for a while before going back.
In this battle, the Wu army suffered heavy losses, and Zhou Yu's most courageous Xiandeng Rui was abandoned at the head of the city, and was slaughtered like a duck by Chen Jiao's scribes.
The elite soldiers behind Cheng Pu's palace were scattered by Niu Jin in one fell swoop, and Cao Jun calmly killed the rear team of the Wu army, and even carefully cleaned the battlefield, killing the Wu soldiers who did not die one by one, stripping them of all their clothes and armor, and there was a thunderous cheer in Jiangling City.
The siege of the siege was actually pushed back to the door of the house.
This command and dispatch is already at the same level as Cao Ren's command of water warfare.
Zhou Yu's teeth itched, and he immediately came to Cheng Pu to settle accounts, Cheng Pu was also very aggrieved, and scolded Zhou Yu for being greedy, if Zhou Yu hadn't sent someone to let Cheng Pu stay, Cheng Pu would have given charity and then retreated, so why was he beaten like this.
The two argued for a few days, and finally reached an understanding temporarily, thinking that the lineup was okay and would come back next time.
The two of them gave up their previous suspicions, and this time they unified their command, saying that they couldn't let Cao Ren continue to run rampant.
Three days later, the Wu army attacked again from the south and west.
The morale of Cao's army was high in this attack, and the resistance far exceeded that of every previous one, and the Wu army saw that the situation was not good, and began to retreat early.
Cao Ren concocted the same method and ordered his general Niu Jin to lead 300 people out of the city to pursue, striving to drag the enemy's rear and inflict some casualties on the Wu army.
Niu Jin showed his skills in the last battle, and the morale of the cavalry under his command was also high, which was not at all worthy of the ponies and soldiers in Jiangdong who had not received any regular cavalry confrontation.
He did not hesitate to go out of the city to pursue, and tightly bit the rear team of Wu Jun, Wu Jun desperately shouted and scolded, Niu Jin didn't pay attention to it at all, and once moved the idea of directly entering the Wu army camp to show off his might.
But he really underestimated Wu Jun's heritage.
The Wu army, which has been fighting for many years and assesses Jiangdong, is now at its peak, Niu Jin's three hundred people rushed too forward, Zhou Yu immediately made a decision, and the Wu army, which had already shown its defeat, immediately opened the net, Xu Sheng, Song Qian, and Pan Zhang each waved their weapons, such as three ink dragons out of the abyss, Huang Gai and Han Dang also brandished broadswords and led the infantry to copy from the outside, and besieged Niu Jin and other 300 people at once, and they were about to be annihilated one by one!
Although 300 people were not many, it was undoubtedly an inspiring victory for the Wu army, which had just suffered defeat.
As long as Niu Jin is annihilated and his head is hung up for public display, it will definitely greatly damage the morale of the Cao army in the city, and there may be three more months to break through.
Victory or defeat in one fell swoop, Wu Jun is really the life of the three armies, fierce generals, sharp soldiers, commanders, Wu Jun took out everything he could, this overwhelming power of Mount Tai is by no means Niu Jin can resist.
Niu Jin's face turned white when he saw so many people roaring towards him, he forced his composure, ordered his soldiers to break through, and threw a look of help at Cao Ren on the city tower while fighting.
General, help!
When Cao Ren saw the Wu army coming from all directions from the city, he had already begun to put on his armor, and Changshi Chen Jiao hurriedly grabbed Cao Ren and said in horror:
"The general is the commander-in-chief, how can he risk his life? While it is very painful to abandon friendly forces, ...... There's nothing you can do about it. โ
Cao Ren glared at him and ordered Chang Diao to defend the city, and personally led the guards around him out of the city. Seeing that Cao Ren only took more than 100 people out of the city, the soldiers of the Wu army thought that Cao Ren was just bluffing to scare themselves, but they never thought that Cao Ren shouted, but he actually waved his iron halberd and led his guards to rush into the encirclement of the Wu army.
Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were overjoyed when they saw that Cao Ren actually dared to come to his death.
The two of them personally put on their horses and dispatched all the soldiers who could be dispatched to surround Cao Ren, preparing to complete their work in one battle and behead this Cao Wei pillar under the horse.
But they soon discovered that Cao Ren was deeply trusted by Cao Cao, not just because of his surname Cao.
In the face of the swarming Jiangdong cavalry, Cao Ren was not afraid.
As soon as the iron halberd in his hand was raised, the sharp sharp hook immediately brought up a blood flower, and then, the iron halberd flew like lightning in his rough palm, or light, or heavy, or fast, or slow, obviously there was only an ordinary iron halberd, but it shone under Cao Ren's wave, Xu Sheng and Song Qian felt their breath suffocated at the same time, and the surging attack just now suddenly slowed down!
While!
In the dull sound of the clash of weapons, Cao Ren walked through the Wu army's formation, and the Wu army's weapons were difficult to penetrate the heavy iron armor on his body, and Cao Ren was stunned in severe pain and snatched a few weapons, waved his sword and let go of the killing, and actually tore a gap in the encirclement of many famous generals of the Wu army, killing all the generals of the Wu army.
Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu saw Cao Ren so brave, and their faces showed a hint of shock.
Such a powerful martial art, except for Gan Ning, I am afraid that no one in the Wu army can stop such a fierce general.
If only Bo Fu and Ziyi were still alive.
Cao Ren saw that the generals of the Wu army were not his opponents, and his confidence suddenly increased, he used all the martial arts in his life, rushing left and right in the encirclement of everyone, and it was difficult to retract after the encirclement of the Wu army was broken, and the unwilling Xu Sheng and Han Dang stepped forward to challenge several times, but they were easily repelled by Cao Ren, and they could only watch Niu Jin break out of the encirclement.
Cao Ren, who was covered in blood, was bathed in the dazzling sunlight of spring noon, like an ancient beast out of the cage.
He didn't even retreat in a hurry, but looked at the generals of the Wu army with disdain and even a little pitiful eyes, and snorted coldly.
"But that's it."
Wu Jun was silent.
Cao Jun had retreated, but no one of them dared to challenge him anymore, so Cao Ren easily turned his horse's head and Shi Shiran returned to the city.
Chen Jiao, who was standing at the head of the city, jumped up and down excitedly, patted the arrow stacks at the head of the city, and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Is the general a man from heaven and earth? Is the general a man descended from heaven to earth? โ
The soldiers of the Cao army also cheered together, and the thunderous sound hit the hearts of the generals of the Wu army, and none of them wanted to make a sound for a while.
failed before, and it can be said that the scheduling was improper and the coordination was not good, so it was a failure.
But this time, they fought hard, and they were actually hit head-on by Cao Ren, who had been a mess in the previous water battle, and played a brave result like a god, which will surely become a major shame that Zhou Yu will not erase.
Looking at the Cao Jun and the others who were showing off their might, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu both had the same thought.
It's over, you won't be able to take this city for three months!
What to do......
If you can't fight a fight, you either run away or call someone.
Sun Quan had now begun to attack Hefei, and it was impossible for the Wu army to have any further support in the rear.
Zhou Yu thought about it again and again, but he could only make a very helpless choice-
"Zijing, please ask Liu Yuanjun to send troops and borrow Zhang Yide, which is enough to fight against Cao Ren!"
Lu Su bowed his head slightly, but his face was still sad.
"What about the north?"
One Cao Ren is so powerful, if the north is opened up, and Le Jin and Xu Huang kill together, the plan of the Wu army to attack Jiangling will be completely frustrated.
"Now...... can only see how long Guan Yu's father and son can hold on. โ
Zhou Yu thought that it would be easy to break through Jiangling within three months, and only gave Guan Yu three months of grain and grass, but he didn't expect Cao Ren, the general of the defeated army, to be so powerful, this battle continued, and the Wu army was trapped on the periphery of Jiangling City, but Guan Yu had to endure the battle without rear, no support and even no supplies.
It's okay to say for a month or two, and I can barely hold on to three months.
No matter how long it was, Zhou Yu was embarrassed to let Guan Yu face so many Cao troops by himself.
"The Supreme should have taken Hefei, hopefully...... I hope Guan Yu can hold on. โ
ยท
In Jiangling City, Cao Jun was jubilant.
They can still support the grain and grass for a long time, it seems that the Wu army will not want to break the city in two or three months, and Cao Ren hurriedly began to plan the follow-up battle plan.
Cao Cao's original plan was to let Cao Ren rest for a while, buy time for the main force to rest, and then Cao Cao sent someone to rescue Cao Ren, so that Sun Liu would not easily get Jiangling and then quickly go north.
But now that Cao Ren has won many battles, he has begun to swell a little.
He was ready to drive the Wu army away and run away completely, so that they would never dare to stand in front of him again in the future.
"I now want to know the specific arrangement of Sun Liu." He patted Chang Diao's shoulder, "Giant Eagle, you are in charge of school affairs, and you have to be careful in this matter." โ
