Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Mighty Man Is Gone
"Ma Zhong releases arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! Zhou Yu shouted.
"Come back!" Cheng Pu and Huang Gaice immediately stepped forward and yelled at the same time.
"Rest hurting my lord!" Tai Shi Ci raised his halberd and slapped his horse up.
Jiangdong's little overlord was kicked off his horse, and to Jiangdong's soldiers, it was as if the Chinese army had been cut down, and their faith was shattered in front of their eyes, and they didn't even have time to react to what was happening.
But Zhou Yu and the others seemed to have expected it, and they reacted very quickly.
Lu Bu showed no mercy, and Fang Tian's halberd stabbed at Sun Ce, who had not yet been able to get up on the ground.
Almost at the same time, under Zhou Yu's loud reminder, Ma Zhong took his bow and sent an arrow towards Lu Bu, whoosh~
Maybe it was Zhou Yu's 'Ma Zhong released the arrow' that reminded Lu Bu, or maybe he was too familiar with the sound of the bow and arrow on the bow, he almost didn't look in the direction of Ma Zhong, and subconsciously chose to withdraw the halberd, and the whole person was prostrate on the back of the red rabbit horse, and the arrow swept over his head.
Although the action was a little embarrassing, he managed to avoid this arrow.
Taking advantage of this gap, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Tai Shici were already in front of them, and Zhou Yu helped Sun Ce to get on the horse quickly.
"Wen Hou be careful!"
"The thief will release the cold arrow!"
"Kill the general!"
At the same time, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, Xu Sheng and others shouted at the same time, and they didn't care about any formation, so they swarmed towards the pontoon, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos.
But Ma Zhong seemed to be very firm in believing that his archery skills were enough to shoot Lu Bu in the chaos, and continued to wind his bow and fire two more arrows.
This time, he was on guard, and although the distance was very close, he was blocked by Fang Tian's painting halberd.
However, he had bought enough time for Sun Ce, and the group mounted their horses and galloped towards the city.
Lu Bu, who was not disturbed by the battle with Sun Ce, was shot three times in a row by Ma Zhong, his face was hot, and his eyes were round with anger, "The carving insect skill also dares to get an axe!" ”
Sun Ce won't die first, you will definitely not survive today!
Lu Bu immediately stabbed Fang Tian's halberd on the ground, picked up the treasure carving bow under the saddle with his left hand, picked up a golden arrow with his right foot, and aimed at Ma Zhong.
At that time, Sun Ce and his entourage had already entered the city, dozens of horsemen were mixed together, and with the dust raised by galloping, it was not difficult to shoot.
But Lu Bu's entire set of actions was smooth, and even the most difficult aiming and releasing arrows was only between two breaths.
The golden feather arrow turned into a white practice, accurately found Ma Zhong in the chaotic crowd, and passed through the throat.
Seeing Ma Zhong roll to the ground, Lu Bucai snorted arrogantly, "Let you shoot me!" ”
Then he pulled up Fang Tian's halberd and followed the army to rush into the city.
Seeing Lu Bu's army rushing onto the pontoon bridge, the defenders on the city pass finally reacted, desperately firing arrows downward, and when the distance was close, they picked up the rolling stone and smashed it down.
"Thunderbolt! Quick, get moving! Liu Ye is proficient in the six arts of a gentleman, horseback riding, archery and swordsmanship are not bad, but charging into battle is obviously not his strong point, and he immediately jumped to his feet to let others fight back.
Squeak ~ boom!
The jar in the bamboo basket of the thunderbolt flew towards Chengguan.
Bang bang bang~
The jar shattered to the ground, and the reflexive avoidance of the Jiangdong children caused a lot of turmoil.
But what made them dumbfounded was that these jars were all empty, and there was no tung oil in them at all.
Wuhu, fooled.
At this point, everyone understands what happened, and their own lord was deceived by the person opposite.
The thief is hateful, and his heart is punishable.
If you know that these are all fake, why do you need to open the city, as long as you hold the city gate, Lu Bu and the ten thousand people have no chance to attack, but right now.
There was no time to think about it, so the soldiers hurriedly adjusted their formation and began to continue to release arrows.
However, the soldiers of the Lu army who rushed into the city pass had already begun to rush to the city pass, and on the road, the sound of fighting began to collide.
It's really a heifer that doesn't give birth to cubs, and it's terrible! Witnessing Lu Bu crushing Sun Ce's fighting generals, Lin Mo sighed with emotion, especially the last blow, which was clearly insulting, don't you like flying kicks, I will use your way to end you.
Master Yuezhang is also crazy, but his madness seems to be different from Guan Yu's.
This is probably similar to the later generations of scholars who despise the scholars, you take the test 99 points because you only have the strength of 99 points, and I take the test 100 points because the paper only has 100 points, it does not mean that the gap between you and me is only that one point.
However, Lu Bu's last move made Lin Mo have a black line, with his arrow method of shooting halberds, he could definitely shoot Sun Ce in the chaos of the army, how could he aim at an inconspicuous archer.
Sure enough, Lord Yue's qi cultivation technique was still a little worse, Lin Mo said helplessly: "Where is the archer, just put a cold arrow, you are still addicted, provoke my Lord Yuezhang, isn't it a long life?" ”
The army has already rushed into Guangling City, with the strength of its own land battle, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is crushing Jiangdong, just with those 3,000 cavalry, it is enough to kill more than 10,000 people of Sun Ce.
It seems that the general trend has been set.
"There is chaos here, and we are close to the Chinese army." As soon as Lu Lingqi said this, Lin Mo reacted, there was no one around, and even the sergeant in charge of throwing on the thunderbolt car rushed forward with a knife.
In the era of the military merit system, if they wanted to change their lives against the sky, they could only rely on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and they naturally didn't want to miss it if they were so great today.
However, there will be special caretakers in the Daxu of the Central Military Department, not many, and there are one or two hundred people.
This is faith, as long as the big army does not fall, the soldiers will know that the Chinese army is still there, and they can fight to the death.
Therefore, there are often feats of beheading generals to capture the flag and cutting down Daxu to chill the hearts of the army.
"Have you ever been on the battlefield to kill an enemy?" Lin Mo looked at the tragic situation of the battle on the city pass, and he no longer had the initial feeling of stomach acid surging in his heart, but it was not enough to go to the city to kill the enemy.
"Nope."
Lu Lingqi shook her head a little disappointed, "My father never let me go to the battlefield, during the Battle of Puyang, the troops were in danger, and my father only asked me to protect my mother and little mother and them to retreat."
It seems that I practice martial arts to protect my family.
In fact, every time my father went to war, I hoped that I could help. ”
It can be seen that Lu Lingqi has a heart to be a general.
Perhaps, she just wants to share her father's worries as a daughter.
"Otherwise, you're going to kill it now?" Lin Mo turned his head to look at her.
Lu Lingqi still shook her head, "Father said, my task is to protect you." ”
At the end, she added: "One day you don't need my protection by your side, then I will also go to the battlefield." ”
No matter how you hear this, it feels like being fostered.
Lin Mo smiled bitterly, "Actually, I practice my sword skills and archery skills every day. ”
This is the truth, when he was in Pengcheng, Lin Mo took this matter more seriously, and later, Cao Cao's messenger came to the door, which had a great impact on him.
At that time, if the other party really wanted to kill the killer, I am afraid that Jiuquan would have died.
So since that day, Lin Mo's martial arts training has changed from serious to hardworking, and as for whether it has any effect, there is no way to verify it.
Neither of them spoke, staring at Chengguan seriously, expecting the battle to end soon.
After entering the city, Lu Bu led the cavalry and rushed towards the city.
In the process, on the houses on both sides, Jiangdong soldiers kept coming out and firing arrows at them.
In terms of numbers, it is obviously not an ambush, otherwise it should be equipped with corresponding pikemen.
The toad doesn't bite people, he disgusts you, and there are not many crossbowmen, but on the long streets, almost all of them have crossbowmen who fire arrows on people's houses, and the soldiers are constantly frustrated, and the speed is slowed down.
You can only let the infantry behind you keep climbing up to clean up.
"The soldiers are fighting bloodily, do you want me to abandon the city and flee?" After running all the way from the west gate to the east gate, Sun Ce finally reacted and quickly stopped.
"Lord, when you were fighting with Lu Bu just now, I had the army withdraw from the east gate, and now those who remain in the city to fight to the death are all the children and soldiers we brought from Yuzhang, or they are not only children, or their parents have brothers when they are there, or they have no wives and children at home!"
After meeting Sun Ce's gaze, Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly and said: "There is no choice, Lu Bu has thousands of cavalry, and the soldiers can't outrun them on two legs, unless the lord wants everyone to be buried in Guangling City!" ”
"Why do you want to use troops privately!"
Sun Ce had a halberd, his eyes were bloodshot with anger, and he stared at Zhou Yu viciously, "Even if they let them go first, Lu Bu's cavalry can still catch up, do you know!" ”
"Bo Fu, I have discussed this matter with Gong Jin, I agree with his approach, and he has made arrangements, as long as we rush out of the city, Lu Bu will not be able to catch up!" Cheng Pu roared.
"Uncle Cheng!"
Sun Ce was like a roaring tiger, and asked loudly: "Outside Xingyang City, my father was surrounded by Xu Rong's army, did he ever leave a brother behind!" ”
In his life, Sun Ce took his father as an example and the overlord as his goal, and he was confident that he had the four counties of Jiangdong today.
If you want him to leave behind the soldiers who followed him from birth to death, it is better to kill him directly.
"Death is death, what is there to fear! If I want to leave the soldiers and run for my life, I can't do it!! Sun Ce, whose helmet fell off his horse, roared in an almost hysterical manner.
Cheng Pu saw Sun Jian's shadow on Sun Ce's body, and for a moment, he had a feeling of sour nose, turned his head away, and stopped speaking.
Zhou Yu looked up to the sky and sighed, and said softly: "Lord, do you want to be angry for a while so that the brothers can't return to their homeland, or do you want to endure the humiliation, cross the river with the children of Jiangdong, and make self-determination, and the last generals will obey the orders of the lord's army."
Sun Ce was in a trance for a moment, and looked around through his messy hair, how could these soldiers die here, Jiangdong still has a family business.
He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, "You guys go, I'll break off!" ”
"Huh"
Tai Shi Ci laughed, shook his head and said: "How can there be a reason in this world that the lord is the general of the subordinate, the eldest husband will not frown even if he has a knife on his neck, and he will fight to the death with the lord in this city at the end of today!" ”
"Swear to live and die with the Lord!"
"Swear to live and die with the Lord!"
"Swear to live and die with the Lord!"
Around, the Jiangdong soldiers raised their swords one after another, and shouted with their necks thick.
At this moment, everyone's faces were full of determination.
But Sun Ce's eyes slowly blurred.
You are the best soldiers in the world, and it is my incompetence that has led you to death.
Bo Fu, as a human master, you are not afraid of death, but you must not speak lightly of life and death.
Sun Ce always thought that the words that his father held his hand before he died were telling him that he should not be brave on the battlefield.
Today, he understands that the children of Jiangdong regard death as home, but as the master of the people, they should let them live.
He turned the horse's head, pulled out the sword at his waist with his right hand, held the sword with his left hand, and after pulling it out with all his might, his palm was suddenly dripping with blood, "My Sun Ce swears with blood today that he will take revenge one day!" ”
After speaking, he clenched his fists and slowly stepped out of his horse.
Behind him, hundreds of people silently followed.
On the city gate, the defenders who watched Sun Ce and others leave were sad and reluctant in their hearts, but more happy, they looked at each other and smiled, tears in their eyes.
"What about Uncle Huang? Why don't you see Uncle Huang? With the city gate behind him being closed, Sun Ce reacted.
"The old general went to the south gate, and most of them were out of the city at this time, so we met at the ferry." Zhou Yu said this very calmly, but Cheng Pu and Tai Shici knew that his heart should be torn apart inch by inch.
Huang Gongfu can't come back.
That's the price.
The price of a defeat.
Soon, Lu Bu rushed to the gate of the West Gate with a group of cavalry, and the scene in front of him made his brows tighten.
I saw that the city gate was closed, and the gate was full of Jiangdong soldiers holding ring-headed swords.
What's going on, the city is broken, they should run for their lives.
Soon Lu Bu made a judgment in his heart, I followed Sun Ce's escape route to chase here, he must have run from the west gate, this will not be wrong, then, these should be the dead soldiers of the Sun family in front of him, and they will be left behind.
He didn't even bother to shout the words of surrender, waved his hand and shouted: "Crossbowman!" ”
Behind him, a sergeant with a stiff bow lined up.
Before they could release their arrows, dozens of people suddenly jumped up on the city gate, and threw the prepared and burning tung oil jar down, and suddenly there was a sea of fire in front of them.
More than a dozen crossbowmen were burned to the ground because they couldn't dodge in time, and the disgusting smell of burnt flesh wafted from the heart-rending screams, and the scorching waves forced the horses to retreat.
When fleeing, after arranging an ambush, this is a common trick, Lu Bu is not only not angry, but also a little happy in his heart, which proves that this road is on the right track.
Most of the Jiangdong soldiers are infantry, and there are only a few hundred cavalry of the Huainan Army, so it will be too late for you to run for an hour before I can chase it.
"Pepin!"
Lu Bu roared, and Gao Shun willingly led the trapped camp from the alleyway to bypass the line of fire and rushed to the city pass.
"Push!" The defenders on the pass pushed the prepared rolling stones and sassalwood down the stairs, and the heavy infantry of the trapping camp was lost, and they had a high degree of tacit understanding, they immediately formed a row, pushed the iron shield in front, and carried the first wave of rolling stones by virtue of their numerical superiority.
As the rolling stones continued to push down, even if they were trapped, they had to retreat, and in this way, they obviously did not intend to leave alive.
Seeing this, Lu Bule moved the reins, and the red rabbit horse galloped wildly, and after jumping over the tongue of fire that was higher than a person, he went directly to the city gate and waved the Fang Tian painting halberd, wanting to kill through the city gate with his own strength.
The gate of the city is not narrow, it is two zhang wide, Lu Bu Fangtian painted the tiger and tiger dancing with the halberd, the cold light flickered, the blood mist was filled, and many people didn't even have time to raise the ring head knife to resist, and the throat was cracked, and the blood was like an infusion.
In the narrow terrain, the red rabbit horse can not gallop to give full play to its advantages, but following Lu Bu to fight for many years has been quite spiritual, there are people close behind him, no need for Lu Bu to wield a halberd, the back kick directly kicks, plus the nail horseshoe, the kick of the person chest is sunken, directly to the ground vomiting blood.
"Don't stop me!" Lu Bu is not a person who loves to kill, and these hundred and ten people at the gate of the city can't withstand the harvest of his Fang Tian Painting Halberd at all.
These soldiers are determined to fight to the death, and they go forward one after another.
Finally killed less than 20 people, they picked up the tung oil altar prepared by the city gate and smashed it at Lu Bu, the red rabbit horse dodged spiritually, and was forced to retreat by the tongue of fire again.
Bearing the heat wave of dozens of degrees, they looked at death one by one, gritted their teeth and smashed the last ten tung oil jars to the city gate behind them.
In the fire, twenty people held hands and sang in unison: "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone."
This scene, even Lu Bu was stunned, Jiangdong Army is admirable.
The fire line on the ground will naturally be extinguished when the tung oil is burned out, but the city gates are all made of camphor wood of 100 years, and the tung oil can be poured for a few days, and it is too late to extinguish the fire now.
"Peping, you lead a team of cavalry to chase out from the south gate, and I will lead a team to the north gate to kill, most of them are foot soldiers, and they can't run far!"
"Whoa!"
