Chapter 1914: Both sides are tied, strength is respected(1/2)
Sun Quan roared and pointed and roared on the city gate. Although Zhou Yu was far away under his own flag, he seemed to hear it. He looked up slightly, then turned around, his expression seemed to have not moved at all.
There were only the last hundred personal guards left by Zhou Yu, and the rest of the soldiers had already entered the battlefield. Even Huang Gai was fighting with his tired body at the front of the front.
Huang Gai was obviously injured, but he was still standing on the front line. The big gun had stabilized the precarious array for many times. Later, even Cao Ren avoided Huang Gai's position and was unwilling to fight with this madman again!
The smell of blood is extremely strong and it spreads throughout the battlefield.
Zhou Yu glanced at the Cao army turret on the hill opposite, and could only vaguely see Cao Cao under the flag, and seemed to be looking coldly towards his flag. Although he and Cao Cao did not go directly to fight, they were always competing for who is more persevering, who is more persistent, and who is more powerful!
The sun in the sky has moved west to the hillside, but it still sprinkled the last afterglow on the land, making everything around it golden and transparent, but in another hour or two, it will be dark.
The combat power of the soldier under his command has now been exerted to the extreme. Zhou Yu knew that although he seemed to look like he was on the surface, he actually held on. Many people probably had tried their best and could not even hold up the sword and gun if they could continue fighting!
Zhou Yu smiled bitterly in his heart.
Maybe this time I really underestimated Cao Cao...
If Cao* can be retreated, at least he can shake the central line of Cao's army. Then Xiahou Yuan on the flank had to return to the rescue, so that Sun Quan had the opportunity to calmly go out and kill Cao's army together.
But now, it is only if, and it is obviously impossible to achieve it.
I can't retreat either.
Because all the soldiers at the moment are supported by their last breath. If they retreat this time, not to mention whether they can escape in the dark, they may even be hit by the morale of the army. Even if they fight against Cao's army next time, they will be weaker before the battle!
In the cold weapon war, military morale and morale are very important, so Zhou Yu used all his strength from the beginning, and Cao Cao was the same. Both sides were unwilling to show a cowardly attitude when they first confronted each other, which affected the morale of the entire army.
Cao Cao had Xiahou Yuan on his side, but he refused to let Xiahou Yuan go into the battle, so he could not lose in this tone.
On the other hand, it seems that the same is true for Zhou Yu. There are also Sun Quan, who is on the wing, in the city, but Zhou Yu knows that the situation is actually different from Cao Cao, because he cannot mobilize Sun Quan.
If there is no sign of any concern for the Jiangdong gentry, it can only be worrying. Even Sun Quan mistakenly thought of it as a suspicion, which is also very likely to cause dissatisfaction among the Jiangdong gentry, saying that Zhou Yu had ulterior motives...
Doing this himself would accompany almost all his private soldiers on the one hand, and on the other hand, it would arouse Sun Quan's dissatisfaction, and on the other hand, it might offend the Jiangdong gentry. Once defeated, the fate would be almost unimaginable. The reputation and status that had been fought to the death before may turn into dust in an instant!
Is this worth it?
worth.
Because his private soldiers can be said to be the most elite part of the Jiangdong Army, this army has won victory after victory under Sun Ce and his leadership. It is precisely this continuous victory that supports the strong belief that it has the strong momentum of fighting to the death. It can be said that these soldiers under his command, together with the Sun Family Soldiers under Sun Quan, are not an exaggeration to call them the most powerful combat troops in Jiangdong. If even his own army cannot gain an advantage in confronting Cao's army head-on, then even if Cao Cao retreats this time, if Cao Cao goes south again in the future, will there be another army that dares to resist Cao Cao as decisively as today?
There was Bian Que in the Spring and Autumn Period, and when he met Duke Huan of Cai, he had a branch.
Bian Que said: "You have a disease in the skin, and you will be afraid of being deeply untreated if you don't treat it."
Mr. Huan said: "I am not sick."
Zhou Yu himself is Bian Que, but Sun Quan, who is "diseased in the skin", may not think that he has a disease.
No matter what, it is worthy of heaven and earth, at least, it is worthy of Brother Bo Fu's entrustment...
What is your ending? Why bother to think more about it?
But these Cao's soldiers are indeed a bit powerful. If they can reduce their ferociousness a little...
Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and for a moment, it was even more gorgeous than the sunset in the sky.
Cao Cao naturally couldn't see Zhou Yu's face, but he could see the figure in the distance, as steady as Mount Tai. From the beginning of the battle to the present, he has not moved more than half a step, just like Cao Cao himself.
What?
Shit and urine problem?
I didn’t hear a good sentence, how much do idle people shit and pee?
Well, please sit down. In fact, under the control of adrenaline, both sides of the fight, from generals to soldiers, will not suffer from feces and urine.
So Cao Cao saw Zhou Yu's calm figure, and as the sun sets little by little, Cao Cao's expression gradually sinks.
No matter how many times, no matter how tired these Jiangdong soldiers looked, no matter how many times they defeated them, these Jiangdong soldiers would still gather together and attack again!
After fighting now, Cao Cao actually saw a kind of fear on his Qingzhou soldiers...
The Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Cao were born from the Yellow Turban soldiers. They were basically veterans who had experienced life and death again and again. They were already extremely used to fighting and fighting, and were indifferent to life and death. However, even these Qingzhou soldiers had already shown a very serious fatigue posture under the fighting of the soldiers in Jiangdong. Many people retreated and lay on their backs on the sky, gasping for breath, as if they were not willing to move again. Some even had serious loss of strength and fainted on the spot!
At the same time, there is also the feeling of avoiding war that Cao Cao had hardly seen in Qingzhou soldiers!
The messenger yelled and horns were aroused, but the retreating Qingzhou soldiers seemed to have not heard it. They were slow and obviously unwilling to step forward again. At the urging of the military chief Qu, they barely formed a formation to fight.
This made Cao Cao angry, but he was also a little scared.
As far as Cao Cao knows, there are at least 60,000 soldiers in Jiangdong!
If all the Jiangdong soldiers were as powerful as those in front of them, then if they really fought in full force, would their subordinates be able to fight? Even if they could fight, how many soldiers would be left after the war?
Then Fei Qian in Guanzhong...
When I think about it carefully, I couldn't help but make Cao Cao feel suspicious. Therefore, Cao Cao had to re-examine his original plan, and even began to think whether he wanted to take the fourth or fifth plan as his main goal.
Sun Quan was on the Jiangxia city wall, anxious and angry, and was in a mess. When he changed to another Jiangdong general, Sun Quan ignored him and did his own thing. What if he was alive or dead?
But Zhou Yu is not a person. He is the right-hand man of his brother Sun Ce, and the only recognized backbone general in the Jiangdong veteran faction. He is also the assistant commander entrusted by his brother on his deathbed! Although Zhou Yu has never been very compatible with him, and even gave him a long-scattered short sword to ridicule him, Zhou Yu is still Zhou Yu after all, and is not other ordinary Jiangdong generals!
Yes, Zhou Yu cannot die, at least Zhou Yu cannot die in front of him!
Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin must have understood this, so he unscrupulously sent all the soldiers to fight against Cao's army!
But Sun Quan didn't think about it in his heart, nor did he want to be led by Zhou Yu!
Seeing that the war became more and more cruel and stalemate, although Sun Quan remained silent, he felt more and more slanderous and angry about Zhou Yu. Sun Quan knew that he should support Zhou Yu, but he was extremely disgusted with the feeling of being controlled by Zhou Yu!
Sun Quan disliked this feeling very much. He was the lord and the monarch who was the only one! He should be on top! He should arrange everything and take the initiative, rather than responding passively under Zhou Yu's actions!
Seeing Sun Quan so anxious, Lu Su couldn't help but frown tightly. Although he could guess the reason why Zhou Yu returned to the aid, Lu Su felt that even if he told Sun Quan about the things he guessed, according to Sun Quan's current situation, he might not be able to listen to it...
Sun Quan could not understand Zhou Yu's feelings for Sun Ce, and naturally he could not understand Zhou Yu's emphasis on Sun's family's core.
Just like many rich second generations always spend money, because these rich second generations with huge expenses have not experienced the hardships of their parents who have risen from poverty.
The difference is here.
Contradictions were born from this...
With the establishment of the foundation, the veterans are more willing to be more inclined to keep up and seek progress while maintaining stability. Second-generation, er, third-generation project, like Sun Quan, wants to explore and do a bigger career to prove his abilities...
Conflicts are naturally inevitable, while Lu Su tried to reconcile such conflicts, strive to be a good bricklayer, and work hard to apply the cracks in Jiangdong.
"Lord..." Lu Su followed Sun Quan's circle and whispered beside him, "The current situation of the war is the governor showing his loyalty to the lord..."
"Uh? Ah?!" Sun Quan was stunned when he heard this, he stopped, looked back at Lu Su, and then stretched his neck to look at the cruel battlefield outside the city. "What does Zi Jing mean?"
Lu Su looked around and Sun Quan understood and ordered the guards to go away. Lu Su whispered: "The governor's move has three intentions. One can defeat the might of Cao's army, hurt its muscles and bones, and make the Cao thieves dare not look down on Jiangdong; the second is that Liu Jingzhou is like a wolf, and Cao thieves are like tigers. The old wolf is old, so it must be worse than Cao thieves under the city. Now all tigers and wolves are here, and they face wolves and carry tigers. There are many inappropriate things; the third is...
Lu Su glanced at the city and said in a lower voice, "The governor has many old soldiers, so... Now all these old soldiers are here... Isn't the governor showing his loyalty to the lord with this move? Lord, think twice!"
No matter in any dynasty, the emperor was extremely taboo to lose military power. The powerful soldiers in Zhou Yu's hands were historical problems, and Sun Quan could not take them away. However, now Zhou Yu undoubtedly filled these soldiers into this battlefield, and the loss was not small. Therefore, from this perspective, Zhou Yu's threat to Sun Quan was naturally much smaller.
"Yeah..." Sun Quan pondered.
I have to say that when Lu Su said this, Sun Quan felt much more comfortable. Although Zhou Yu was pressed down on the bottom this time, maybe this was the last time, and the next time he was the one who took charge!
If that's the case, well, this time, I'll endure it!
『Well…』 Sun Quan took a breath, 『People come! Beat the drum! Get ready to go out!』
The deafening drum sound finally burst into the sky in Jiangxia City, which immediately caused the two sides on the battlefield to react differently...
It goes without saying that Zhou Yu's side is fighting, but Cao Cao is a little hesitant, because Cao Cao feels that if he is in full swing with the Jiangdong army at the moment, it seems to be a little disadvantageous.
Seeing that Zhou Yu's soldiers were strong, Cao Cao was naturally somewhat suspicious of the possibility of using Xiahou Yuan to steal the city while Sun Quan opened the city gate, and then doubted whether he would fall into the strategy of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, whether there would be some risks in the future, etc.
Simply put, in Cao Cao's mind, he himself wears shoes, while the barbarians of South Vietnam such as Sun Quan in Jiangdong are naturally barefoot. Then, he takes the ones wearing shoes in his hands to compete for barefoots. Even if he can compete for it, it will definitely not be cost-effective.
So, are you still let Xiahou Yuan and Sun Quan fight according to the original plan and take the opportunity to seize the city?
Cao Cao looked at the sunset on the edge of the mountain, looked at the sun's last bare forehead with a slightly dazzling light, and then disappeared under the ridge. He couldn't help but touch his slightly bare forehead, and then ordered: "Send the order! The two wings of bows and arrows pressed down on the ground, and the gold was called to stop the troops!"
He slowly withdrew his troops at this moment, and Sun Quan and Zhou Yu did not dare to chase him.
This is certain.
On the other hand, Zhou Yu was exhausted in fighting, while on the other hand, Sun Quan had to go out of the city and line up. In addition, the sky was dim very quickly in autumn, and it was dark in the blink of an eye. If Jiangdong really dared to catch up, he would definitely ignite the fire. Then, in the darkness of the enemy, Cao Cao would not mind taking advantage of the situation to ambush.
But there is a great possibility that both sides will stop fighting.
Sure enough, seeing Cao Cao slowly withdraw his troops, Zhou Yu also ordered the gold medal, but did not pester them. The two sides began to fight each other and leave the battlefield where a body was left behind.
Although it was a pity, it was just like that now.
Cao Cao shook his head slightly and sighed.
After all, I am no longer twenty years old, and God will definitely not give me twenty years to make a fuss. Therefore, since the current situation has changed as I did not expect, it is obvious that it is impossible to defeat the Jiangdong army quickly, so I will try to be stable first!
Anyway, I will not lose any loss no matter how I calculate this wave. I either gain from here or from the side. Since Zhou Yu returned to the army, the siege of Jiangling was almost equivalent to rescue. Therefore, even if I retreated from the Jin Dynasty, I would not lose. Then I sent a scout and provocate to find out the changes and then proceed to the next step of the strategy. There would be no problem...
In this game, it will be considered a draw between the two sides, and a date will be chosen to confront each other!
…ヽ('Д')?…
The war in Jiangxia has come to an end for a while, but the storm and clouds in the Western Regions are getting stronger and stronger, just like the cold current of the cold winter in the north, whistling.
In mid-August, the cold wind blowing from the north roared at the mountain pass, like the roar of death.
Yunrong and his party turned from the Pamir Mountains to the Western Regions, crossed the mountains and ridges, and finally saw some people in their sight, which means that they finally walked out of the mountains and deserts and were getting closer and closer to Dunhuang.
To be continued...
