Chapter 142: Fighting Sun Jian (2)
The first to appear on the stage was the Linzhen Lu bus, which is the rushing car that Gongsun Zhu knows.
This thing is not the kind of thing that Gongsun Zhu had in his previous impression, several wheels set up a shelf, and then get a big log, and a group of people pushed it over and smashed the city gate open.
If that's the case, he can't open the gates, so he will let the crossbowmen on the walls shoot them into a sieve.
The Lu bus is rumored to be something that Jiang Shang made back then, and after countless generations of reforms, it is what it is today.
It is five stories high, with solid planks and partitions arranged layer by layer, and the first layer is made up of wheels and soldiers, who are the biggest driving force to support the rush forward.
The upper three floors are all crossbowmen, relying on the height to compete with the crossbowmen on the city walls, especially the top layer, which is the most dangerous and the most important.
Attached was a huge log, which was what had been used to storm the city gates, and countless cowhide hemp ropes tied the logs and slammed them into the gates again and again, making them open the gates as quickly as possible.
The only way to deal with this kind of thing is the fire oil, and it is not the kind that is thrown down from the city wall, and the Linlu bus is generally constantly wet, and it will be covered with good water-soaked cowhide, which is to prevent the fire oil from ignition.
The best way to do this was to rush out of the city, throw the oil directly on the two floors below, and then set the cart on fire and roast the soldiers from the inside.
It's just that this is okay in the north, and Nu worked hard to form a fine horseman, coming and going like the wind.
But now that this is Jingzhou, the general's war horses are not enough, let alone anything else.
This is also the reason why Xiangyang City is in danger.
In addition to the Lu bus, there was also a ladder that was also carried on the city wall by a famous soldier, and there was a well that was not much higher than the city wall.
These things threaten the safety of Xiangyang, and the crossbowmen of the well are more powerful than the rushing car, and the tall and sturdy well is a mobile dock fort.
Liu Biao could only passively hope that the walls of Xiangyang were strong enough.
Guan Yu looked at the battle in the distance, and he was also anxious, he couldn't leave now, and the current Gongsun Zhu and Ma Chao alone might not be enough to hold the camp.
If Ma Chao is asked to go around and burn those wells and cars, this is not very reliable.
Not to mention that the strength of that person is limited after all, even Ma Chao has never commanded any soldiers and horses, and I am afraid that leading troops to fight is not as good as his uncle Gongsun Zhu.
Originally, Gongsun Zhu was the most suitable candidate, but now that Gongsun Zhu was seriously injured by that Sun Jian, he is at least unable to go to the battlefield to fight now.
This made Guan Yu very uncomfortable.
Just when they were anxious, a reinforcement army finally appeared in their rear.
"Huo Du of Zhijiang City, I am ordered to come, please let the general let me and others into the camp!"
A loud roar announced that their reinforcements had appeared, although there were only a few hundred people, but it was a bit majestic to look at it.
One of the two leaders is strong, and the other is not very old, so they should be two brothers.
Gongsun Zhu was in charge of the back camp, and was slightly stunned after seeing the two of them, always feeling that this name was a little familiar, but after seeing Pang Ji's letter, he didn't doubt it much, and immediately let them in.
At the same time, on the way to meet Guan Yu, I also asked about their identities.
The Huo family in Zhijiang County, Nanjun County, is also a small and powerful family, but unlike those thieves, this is quite capable and sensible.
It can't be said that they have never done evil things, at least they have never heard of such things as looting and harming the people, so they were not affected when they cleaned up the thieves before.
After Liu Biao sat in Xiangyang, he was also silent, until this time Sun Jian attacked, and after the Zhijiang City County Commander fled, Huo Du and Yuan Shu's reputation was not very good.
Until Jingzhou was lost, they would not have a good life, so they simply summoned hundreds of private soldiers to start protecting the city directly in place of the county order, and also thought that they would be able to get a background in the future.
After listening to Huo Du's story, Gongsun Zhu immediately set his eyes on the brother beside him.
The Zhijiang Huo family has an eldest brother and hundreds of private soldiers, who are not very old.
"Is this Brother Ling?"
"Yes, this is the brother in the villain's family, Huo Jun."
Really....
Gongsun Zhu took the Huo family brothers to see Guan Yu, Huo Du thought that he would be responsible for garrisoning a city, but Gongsun Zhu pulled Guan Yu aside and said for a long time.
When he came back again, Gongsun Zhu asked Huo Du a question.
"If you are allowed to garrison the front camp, you may be able to block Sun Ben's attack?"
Huo Du looked at the young general a little sluggishly, as well as the Yuzhou army that was still attacking, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"Only death!"
"You don't have to be so nervous, Sun Ben can't fight for his life at this time, it's mostly containment, as long as you are cautious, there won't be too much of a problem."
After Huo Du heard these words, although he didn't know why Gongsun Zhu trusted him so much, he also knew that this was an opportunity.
"The villain will live up to expectations."
Huo Du replaced Guan Yu, and although the hundreds of soldiers under his command were not elite, they were also young and strong, and they had also experienced several battles and had some skills.
But he can also replace Guan Yu.
At this time, Guan Yu gave an order, and the only hundred cavalry in his hand immediately turned over and got on his horse.
Guan Yu was the mainstay, supplemented by Ma Chao, and took these more than 100 people to carry fire oil and fire folds from the back camp, bypassing the battlefield, and directly inserting them into Xiangyang City to ignite the car well, so as to buy enough time for Liu Biao.
In the shouts, Guan Yu and Ma Chao left the camp, and Huo Du, who replaced Guan Yu, immediately felt a strong pressure.
Guan Yu's departure from the camp couldn't hide from Sun Ben, and the moment they left, this feint attack and containment immediately turned into a real onslaught.
even ordered Sun Jian, hoping to transfer Huang Gai to bring troops over, and Huang Gai was under his command, but the real Jiangdong soldiers were the descendants of Sun Jian's lineage!
However, at this time, Gongsun Zhu couldn't take care of Huang Gai and the so-called Jiangdong disciples.
For he was completely shocked by the ability and bravery of another man.
Gongsun Zhu can swear that he has never underestimated the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian from beginning to end.
But he must also admit that he did underestimate the unknown Sun Ben today.
This guy is Sun Jian's nephew, Sun Ben is not famous in Gongsun Zhu's memory, but Sun Ben is the number two person in Sun Jian's army, and his status is higher than Cheng Pu.
And this status is not because he is the son of Sun Jian's brother Sun Qiang, he has piled up his life one by one.
Sun Ben is Sun Qiang's eldest son, and when his younger brother Sun Fu was born, his parents had already died, and he did not rely on any relatives, but raised his younger brother independently.
and once served as a subordinate official in the local area, becoming the chief of the post, which can be regarded as a close confidant.
After his uncle Sun Jian raised his army, he immediately followed him, whether it was ability or character, he was absolutely capable of it, and he was decisive in killing and brave in battle, and he had always been entrusted with important tasks by Sun Jian, and he was regarded as a confidant.
After Sun Ben accepted the task of attacking Gongsun Zhu's camp, he saw that although the camp was short, it was quite strong.
In addition, the Yuzhou soldiers under his command were indeed a little hesitant in their hearts, and the offensive had not been able to be intense, Sun Ben did not kill people to vent his anger, but had been feint as usual, without much pressure at all.
Gongsun Zhu and Guan Yu both had the illusion that Sun Jian had given up on this place and turned to attack Xiangyang City.
That's why Gongsun Zhu asked Huo Du to replace Guan Yu, and even took Ma Chao away, and he must quickly destroy the well and the car, so as to keep Xiangyang City.
But just as Guan Yu and Ma Chao left, Sun Ben, who had been silent, immediately sent a fast horse to pass Sun Jian, and transferred Huang Gai and the most elite Jiangdong disciples to come to change the previous decline.
With the Jiangdong soldiers as the main force, they stormed the Gongsun Zhu camp.
At this moment, Gongsun Zhu was caught off guard, and the Jiangdong soldiers didn't care about the refugees in Yuzhou, they saw more refugees.
Back then, they were also refugees, and it was Sun Jian who gave them a bite to eat, and it was Sun Jian who brought them enough to live.
The order of the Sun family is their order.
"Kill, kill!"
Sun Ben also heard his uncle say that Guan Yu's bravery was not under him, so he didn't dare to rush forward to kill, and now that Guan Yu had left the camp, Sun Ben naturally charged in person without hesitation.
rushed to kill with all his might, and wanted to break through the Gongsun Zhu camp in one fell swoop.
After Huo Du saw this scene, he also knew that the current situation was completely different from what Gongsun Zhu said, and the Jiangdong soldiers who roared and rushed over were not afraid of death one by one, and almost seized their camp gate as soon as they appeared.
Under the leadership of Sun Ben and Jiangdong Jingrui, those Yuzhou soldiers also slowly recovered their morale, and the battlefield was originally a place to mobilize blood and energy.
If it is declining, it will become weaker and weaker.
But if the bloody courage is mobilized, the morale of the army will also increase rapidly, for example, now, the battlefield that was originally quite easy has become more and more difficult with the improvement of morale.
And Gongsun Zhu in the back had also come to the front, and he felt that he was being played by the guy opposite.
"Major General, retreat first, it's dangerous here."
Although Huo Du resisted very hard, he also knew that it was very important to protect Gongsun Zhu at this time, and after seeing Gongsun Zhu appear, he immediately sent some soldiers and horses to protect Gongsun Zhu, which made the resistance of the camp gate even more difficult.
Gongsun Zhu looked at the chaotic battlefield and the crazy enemy army, and his face was so ugly and ugly.
"Get out of the camp." Just when he was sweating on his forehead and at a loss, a somewhat hoarse voice came from the side.
It's Huo Jun, but it's only fourteen-year-old Huo Jun.
"Big brother, get out of the camp gate, the morale of the enemy army is high at this time, it is too difficult for us to resist, it is better to let go of the camp gate, the enemy army is numerous, if they see the camp gate get out of the way, they will definitely swarm here.
However, if there were too many people, there would be congestion, so the crossbowmen were used to cover the gates of the camp and set fire directly around the camp with fire oil, cutting off the way for them to rush in.
That's what they can do to stop their attack. ”
Huo Jun, who was only fourteen years old, said a very clear plan at this time, but it was very dangerous.
Gongsun Zhu didn't know, but he knew that in this way, their camp would be lost, and if the fire went down, when the fire was extinguished, their front camp would be gone.
"Zhong Miao, don't mess around!" Huo Du looked at Gongsun Zhu, who had an ugly face, thinking that Gongsun Zhu was angry, so he quickly stopped Huo Jun's words, and at the same time asked Gongsun Zhu to plead guilty.
However, Gongsun Zhu directly stretched out his hand to stop Huo Du, looking at the more and more difficult camp guards, Gongsun Zhu clenched his back molars.
"Listen to him."
Gongsun Zhu's words made the Huo family brothers stunned, even Huo Jun himself didn't expect Gongsun Zhu to make a decision so quickly.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, wait until the other party comes in, I can't let it go if I want to!"
Gongsun Zhu once again brought out his decisive advantages, since he didn't pay attention, then listen to the people around him who have ideas, good ideas or bad ideas are better than sitting still.
Huo Du was no longer verbose at this time, and immediately left with Huo Jun, mobilized fire oil and crossbowmen according to Huo Jun's arrangement, and then prepared to give up the front camp.
At the same time, according to Huo Jun's statement, a large number of pits were dug to block the speed of the enemy's advance and charge, and so on.
Soon, the fire ignited, thick smoke rose up, the camp gate was voluntarily let go, and Sun Ben's corporal swarmed up, pushing each other in the firelight, scrambling to rush in.
Then they were greeted by the large and small dotted pits, and the uniform rain of arrows.
"Shoot, continue, shoot!"
Huo Du stood beside the crossbowman at this time, constantly shouting for the soldiers to shoot the arrows in their hands over and over again.
And Huo Jun was standing beside him, finding the right time to directly let the spears go up to a thousand, blocking the soldiers who rushed in in front, and at the same time letting the sword and shield men encircle and suppress on both sides, blocking the direction of their scattering and killing.
Hold them firmly near the camp gates.
The firelight here naturally reflected the battle situation here, and Sun Jian and Guan Yu saw the sudden fire almost at the same time.
Sun Jian immediately sent reinforcements to support Sun Ben again, wanting to kill Gongsun Zhu in one fell swoop, while Guan Yu grabbed Ma Chao, who was about to turn over and attack.
"Feng'er won't sit still, it's useless for me to go back now, continue to move forward and burn the well, and then let Xiangyang send troops to support us and others."
Guan Yu was also worried about the safety of the camp, especially when he saw the fire ignited, the panic in his heart couldn't be restrained, but he also knew that going back at this time was useless except for the fatigue of the soldiers and horses under his command.
Interrupt Sun Jian's attack on Xiangyang, and then relieve the pressure on Xiangyang, so that Xiangyang's soldiers can rush out and join them.
With enough reinforcements, they will be able to truly fight the corners.
Ma Chao looked at the fire behind him, then looked at Guan Yu, who was determined, and finally yelled, "Go!" ”
Guan Yu and Ma Chao led more than 100 cavalry to directly rush into Sun Jian's army from the side, and Guan Yu and Ma Chao personally led the team to rush forward.
He tore a gap in the nearly 10,000 Yuzhou troops, threw the oil under a bus that was about to fight, and then the fire broke the oil with the faint light of the fire.
The flames rose, and the soldiers in the Nalu bus screamed and jumped off the bus, falling to the ground.
Instead of killing the wailing soldiers, he turned around and continued to look for the next rushing car or well.
Sun Jian also saw the sudden spoiler, although he had been prepared, but after seeing the bravery of Guan Yu and Ma Chao, Sun Jian also snorted coldly.
"Guan Yuxiu is going to be rampant, Sun Wentai is here!"
With a loud roar, Sun Jian rushed in front of Guan Yu, cut off the head of the ancient ingot knife in his hand, and directly cut Guan Yu in two.
Guan Yu was also unceremonious, it was not conducive to staying for a long time in the army, so he directly swept Sun Jian's ancient ingot knife away, and then the big knife waved him back, and immediately continued to charge with the soldiers and horses, and continued to ignite the wells and rushing cars.
Sun Jian also wanted to continue to rush over and drag Guan Yu, but Ma Chao stepped forward and stopped him directly with a shot.
At this time, the soldiers changed formations, Guan Yu continued to rush and kill in front, Ma Chao blocked and intercepted in the back, Ma Chao fought and dragged Sun Wentai, and Guan Yu was invincible and went on a rampage.
But the good times didn't last long, when Ma Chao wanted to bump into Sun Jian to meet Guan Yu, he suddenly led a young general to rush out.
"Father, go, and the boy will stop the thief."
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy also rushed in front of Ma Chao with a spear in his hand, and when he came up, he stabbed the door directly, wanting to end Ma Chao.
Ma Chao was arrogant, where could he stand this kind of thing, he snorted coldly, and was about to grab the young general's spear and drag him off the horse.
Let him know what it means to know what it means to be high and thick.
But when Ma Chao held the incoming spear, he suddenly felt a huge force in his hand, no less than him, and the spear rushed towards his face door again.
Ma Chao was shocked, but his body did not hesitate, and directly turned his body sideways to avoid the vital point.
But even so, under this shot, this Ma Chao is still hanging a dot.
With a "poof" sound, the blood was already flowing out of Ma Chao's face.
The shot of the young general under Sun Jian's command just now not only broke free from Ma Chao's hand.
even took the opportunity to leave a not deep but somewhat hideous wound on Ma Chao's rather handsome and tender face.
It's just because Ma Chao reacted fast enough just now, if this reaction is slower by half a point, I'm afraid he won't just be such a wound now.
Feeling the hot feeling of his wound, and then looking at the young general in front of him who had some regretful appearance, Ma Chao's eyes couldn't help but widen.
At the same time, anger slowly emerged.
"Boy, who are you?"
With Ma Chao's roar, the young general who rushed out of Sun Jian's army also directly revealed a sneer.
looked at Ma Chao in front of him and became extremely arrogant.
"Boy, I see that you still have some skills, today a certain family will tell you the identity of a certain family, and it will save you from going to Jiuquan to still be a fool!
The father of the family is Jiangdong Tiger Sun Wentai, and a certain family is named Sun Bofu, a thief, and he is not yet dead! ”
After saying this, Sun Ce, who was only seventeen years old at the time, once again rushed directly towards the opposite side with a spear in his hand.
Although Sun Ce is young, his marksmanship is already quite old and spicy, and his moves are strong and heavy, which is quite successful.
At the same time, his own soldiers and soldiers also rushed up towards Guan Yu, looking like that... It seems that he wants to directly encircle Guan Yu here.
Sun Jian saw that his son's bravery was not under Ma Chao, and he also chuckled and stopped entangling with Ma Chao, and rushed towards Guan Yu.
At the same time, in addition to Cheng Pu, who commanded the battle, Han Dang also rushed forward with soldiers and horses, but before anyone arrived, he had already bent his bow and shot an arrow towards Guan Yu's back heart.
Guan Yu heard the exclamation, dodged but let the arrow cut through his arm.
At this moment, Guan Yu finally realized what it meant to be in danger.
Just as he was about to be surrounded and suppressed, a loud roar came from the gate of Xiangyang City.
"The dog thief who hurts people with a dark arrow, you also see the old man's arrow!"
There was a loud roar under Xiangyang City, and a veteran of about forty years old appeared on a horse, and a special arrow in his hand that was three points longer than an ordinary arrow was put on a huge bow by him, and it was an arrow towards Na Han Dang.
Han Dang, who had just rejoiced that an arrow had injured Guan Yu, suddenly heard this roar and instinctively looked in the direction where the sound came from.
As a result, what I saw was that the veteran directly let go of his finger, and the arrow rushed towards him quickly, and the speed made Han Dangdu tremble.
"Han Dang, abandon the horse!"
At the critical moment, Sun Jian's reminder was the most effective, and after Han Dang heard this, he instinctively turned over and dismounted, but his speed was fast enough, but in front of that arrow, he still brought out a touch of blood to his juniors.
Between Han Dang's turnover, the arrow slashed at the back, and the leather armor that had always been strong had no effect, still making Han Dang's blood flow.
This was the voice of the veteran and Sun Jian almost at the same time, which saved his life, if it weren't for this reminder, Han Dang would have died on the battlefield by now.
Han Dang, who was evacuated by the protection of the soldiers, looked at the veteran who had just shot arrows with a frightened face, and a feeling of shame arose in his heart.
The veteran didn't mean to keep him alone, it was humiliating.
He Han Dang was skilled in arching and horses, but the secret arrow only scratched Guan Yu's arm, and the veteran reminded him, but in the end, an arrow almost killed him.
It's an incomparably obvious gap, but... In the eyes of that Han Dang, this is also a naked humiliation!
At this moment, Han Dang's face also turned red rapidly, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth when he looked at the Jingzhou general who rushed out.
At this time, the Jingzhou general didn't care what Han Dang thought, after the arrow was shot, he no longer looked at him, but put the bow in his pocket, and took out the big knife hanging on the war horse with his backhand.
With the big sword in his hand, he killed several enemy soldiers in a row, and there were thousands of Jingzhou troops behind him who went out of the city to meet him, and quickly joined Guan Yu under his leadership.
Guan Yu, who was originally delayed by the army, with the addition and cooperation of these foot soldiers, the veteran jumped out of the horse directly, blocked in front of him, and forced the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Wentai away with a knife, and suddenly had room for maneuver again.
"General, stop them first, and Guan will come when he goes."
