Chapter 1913 The two sides are tied, and the strength is respected
Sun Quan pointed and roared at the top of the city gate. Although Zhou Yu was far below his own banner, he seemed to have heard it.
There are only the last 100 personal guards left by Zhou Yu''s side, and the rest of the soldiers have already filled the battlefield. Even Huang Gai fought fiercely at the front of the line, dragging his tired body.
Huang Gai was obviously wounded, but he was still on the front line, standing still. The big gun had stabilized the precarious formation countless times. After the kill, even Cao Ren avoided Huang Gai''s position. , I don''t want to fight this lunatic again!
The smell of blood was extremely strong, permeating the entire battlefield.
Zhou Yu glanced at Cao Junda on the opposite hill, and could only vaguely see Cao Cao under the banner, who seemed to be coldly looking towards his banner. Although he and Cao Cao didn''t fight directly, they kept fighting. In the competition who is more tenacious, who is more resistant to war, who is stronger!
The sun in the sky has moved westward to the top of the mountain in the sky, but it still casts its last afterglow on this land, making everything around it golden and transparent, but in one or two hours, it will be dark.
The combat power of the soldiers under his command has now been brought to the extreme. Zhou Yu knew that although they looked decent on the surface, they were actually holding on. Many people might have exhausted their strength, and they couldn''t fight anymore, even if they couldn''t even hold up a knife or gun!
Zhou Yu smiled wryly in her heart.
Maybe I really underestimated Cao Cao this time...
If Cao Cao can be retreated, at least the center line of the Cao army can be shaken, and then Xia Houyuan on the flanks has to return to help, so that Sun Quan has the opportunity to calmly dispatch the army and cover and kill Cao army together.
But now, it is only if, it is obviously impossible to realize it.
I also cannot retreat.
Because at present, all the soldiers of our own are relying on their last breath to support them. If they withdraw this time, let alone whether they can escape in the dark, I am afraid that even the morale of the army will be fatally hit. Once against Cao Jun, he was three points weaker before the battle!
In the war of cold weapons, the morale and morale of the army are very important, so Zhou Yu used all his strength from the beginning, and Cao Cao did the same. Both sides are unwilling to show a cowardly posture when confronting head-on for the first time, so as to affect the morale of the entire army.
Cao Cao had Xia Houyuan by his side, but he refused to let Xia Houyuan join the battle, so that he could not lose with this momentum.
Zhou Yu’s side seems to be the same, Sun Quan, who also has a flank, has not moved in the city, but Zhou Yu knows that the situation is not the same as Cao Cao’s, because he cannot mobilize Sun Quan.
Worries about the Jiangdong gentry, without any signs, can only be worries, and may even be mistaken by Sun Quan as suspicious, and may also arouse the dissatisfaction of the Jiangdong gentry, saying that Zhou Yu has ulterior motives...
By doing this by himself, on the one hand, he accompanied almost all his own private soldiers, on the one hand, he aroused Sun Quan''s dissatisfaction, and at the same time, he might offend the Jiangdong gentry. It will turn into ashes in an instant!
Is it worth it?
worth.
Because my private soldiers are the most elite part of the Jiangdong Army. Under the leadership of Sun Ce and him, this army has won victory after victory. It is this kind of continuous victory that supports a strong belief. Only then has the super aura of fighting to the death without retreating. It can be said that these soldiers under his own, together with the group of Sun''s soldiers under Sun Quan, are called the most powerful combat troops in Jiangdong. If even your own army cannot gain an advantage in a direct confrontation with Cao Jun, then even if Cao Cao retreats this time, if Cao Cao goes south again in the future, there will be another army that dares to resist Cao Cao like today. ?
In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was Bian Que, who saw Duke Huan of Cai and set up a room.
Bian Que said: "Your disease is in the skin, if you don''t cure it, you will be afraid of death." 』
Huan Hou said: "The widow is free from illness. 』
At present, Zhou Yu himself is this Bian Que, but Sun Quan, who is "illness in the body", may not think that he has a disease.
No matter what, it’s enough to be worthy of the world, at least, worthy of the entrustment of Brother Bofu...
What will happen to me, why bother to think about it?
It’s just that these soldiers of Cao’s army are really powerful. It would be great if they could be less aggressive...
Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and it was more beautiful than the sunset in the sky for a while.
Cao Cao couldn''t see Zhou Yu''s face, but he could see the figure in the distance, and he was as stable as Mount Tai. From the beginning of the battle to the present, he was just like Cao Cao himself, not moving half a step.
What?
Poo problem?
Didn’t hear a single sentence that was said well, how much **** do idlers have?
Uh, Lu Xun, please sit down. In fact, that is to say, under the control of adrenaline, both sides in the fight, from the generals to the soldiers, will not have troubles with feces and urine.
So Cao Cao saw Zhou Yu''s calm figure, and as the sun set a little bit down on the mountain, Cao Cao''s expression gradually sank.
No matter how many times, no matter how tired these Jiangdong soldiers look, no matter how many times they are defeated, these Jiangdong soldiers will still gather and attack again!
Now that Cao Cao has seen a kind of fear in his Qingzhou soldiers...
These Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Cao''s command were born out of the Yellow Turban soldiers. They are basically veterans who have experienced life and death again and again. These Qingzhou soldiers, under the fighting of Jiangdong soldiers, have already shown a very serious exhaustion. Many people retreated and lay on their backs with their hands and feet spread out, panting heavily, as if they were moving again and again. They didn''t even want to do it for a moment, and some even suffered serious loss of strength and fainted on the spot!
At the same time, Cao Cao also has a war avoidance emotion that Cao Cao has hardly seen in Qingzhou soldiers!
The messengers yelled and the horns sounded, but these retreating Qingzhou soldiers didn''t seem to hear them. They moved slowly and obviously didn''t want to go forward again. Under the urging of the military commander Qu Chang, they reluctantly formed a formation to meet them.
This made Cao Cao angry, but also a little frightened.
Jiangdong soldiers are dying, as far as Cao Cao knows, there are at least 60,000 soldiers!
If all the Jiangdong soldiers are as powerful as the ones in front of them, then if they really fight in an all-round way, can their subordinates be able to fight it? Even if they can fight, how many soldiers will be left after the war?
Then Fei Qian in Guanzhong...
Thinking about it carefully, Cao Cao couldn''t help but feel suspicious. Therefore, Cao Cao had to re-examine his original plan, and even began to wonder whether he should take the fourth or fifth plan as his main goal.
Sun Quan was on the city wall of Jiangxia, anxious and angry, circling around in agitation. If it were another Jiangdong general, Sun Quan would ignore him and just do his own thing, so what if he cares about his life?
But Zhou Yu is no one else, he is his brother Sun Ce''s right-hand man, and the only backbone general recognized by the Jiangdong Veteran faction, and also the assistant commander entrusted by his brother on his deathbed! Although Zhou Yu and himself were not always in tune, and even gave him a long sheathed dagger to ridicule him, Zhou Yu was still Zhou Yu after all, 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 dispatched all the soldiers to fight Cao Jun desperately!
But Sun Quan didn''t want to, and didn''t want to be led by the nose by Zhou Yu!
Seeing that the war is becoming more and more cruel and stalemate, although Sun Quan stands still, he is more and more slandering and angry towards Zhou Yu in his heart. Sun Quan knew that he should support Zhou Yu, but he hated the feeling of being controlled by Zhou Yu!
Sun Quan doesn''t like this kind of feeling very much, he is the lord, he is the one-sided monarch! He should be on it! It should be him who arranges everything, who takes the initiative, instead of passively responding to Zhou Yu''s actions!
Seeing Sun Quan so anxious, Lu Su''s brows could not help but frowned tightly. Although he could guess the reason why Zhou Yu returned to help, Lu Su felt that even if he guessed these things now According to Sun Quan''s current situation, he may not be able to listen to what he told Sun Quan...
Sun Quan couldn''t understand Zhou Yu''s feelings for Sun Ce, and naturally it was impossible to understand Zhou Yu''s importance and caution to the Sun family''s foundation.
It’s like many rich second generations always spend money lavishly, because these rich second generations who spend a lot of money have not experienced the hardships of their parents who spent two cents and rose from poverty.
The difference is here.
Contradiction was born from this...
With the establishment of the foundation, the veterans are more willing to stick to it and strive for steady progress, while the second generation, er, the third generation like Sun Quan, is more willing to open up and do a bigger business to prove their ability …
Conflicts are naturally unavoidable, but Lu Su is trying to mediate in such conflicts, trying to be a good mason, and smearing on the cracks in Jiangdong.
『My lord...』Lu Su followed Sun Quan’s footsteps in circles, and whispered beside him, 『The current battle situation is for the governor to show his loyalty to the lord...』
"Uh? ah? ! When Sun Quan heard this, he couldn''t help being taken aback, stopped, looked back at Lu Su, and stretched his neck to look at the cruel battlefield outside the city, "What does Zijing mean by that?" 』
Lu Su looked around, Sun Quan understood, and ordered the guards to go further away. Lu Su said in a low voice: "The governor''s move has three intentions. Firstly, it can dampen the prestige of Cao Jun, hurt his muscles and bones, and make Cao thief dare not despise Jiangdong; secondly, Liu Jingzhou is like a wolf, and Cao thief is like a tiger. It is inappropriate for a wolf to carry a tiger on its back; the third..."
Lu Su glanced at the city, and said in a lower voice, "The governor has a lot of old soldiers, so...now all these old soldiers are here... Isn''t the governor doing this to show his loyalty to the lord?" My lord, think twice! 』
No matter in any dynasty, the emperors are extremely taboo about losing military power, and these strong soldiers in Zhou Yu''s hands are a historical legacy. Sun Quan has no way to just take them away, but now Zhou Yu undoubtedly fills these soldiers into this battlefield. , the loss is not small, so from this perspective, Zhou Yu''s threat to Sun Quan is naturally much smaller.
『Hmm…』Sun Quan pondered.
I have to say that after Lu Su said this, Sun Quan felt much more comfortable in his heart. Although Zhou Yu suppressed him this time, it might be the last time, and next time he will be the leader!
If you say that, well, this time, I will bear it!
『Forget it…』 Sun Quan took a breath, 『Come on! Beat the drum! Ready to fight! 』
The deafening drumbeat finally exploded in Jiangxia City, causing the two sides in the battlefield to have different reactions...
Needless to say, Zhou Yu’s side was fighting bravely, while Cao Cao’s side was a little hesitant, because Cao Cao felt that it would be a bit disadvantageous if he said that he would confront the Jiangdong soldiers in an all-round way right now.
After seeing Zhou Yu''s strong soldiers, Cao Cao naturally had some doubts about the possibility of using Xia Houyuan to seize the city while Sun Quan opened the gate, and then wondered whether he would fall into the strategy of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, and whether there would be some risks in the future or something.
To put it simply, in Cao Cao''s mind, he himself wears shoes, while Jiangdong Sun Quan and the South Vietnamese barbarians are naturally barefoot. Then take the shoes in your hands to fight the barefoot ones, even if you can fight, it is definitely not worthwhile.
Then, should Xia Houyuan and Sun Quan fight according to the original plan and take the opportunity to seize the city?
Cao Cao looked at the setting sun on the edge of the mountain, saw the slightly dazzling light from the last bald forehead of the sun, and then disappeared under the ridge. He couldn''t help touching his own slightly bald forehead, and then ordered: " order! Bows and arrows on both wings suppress the formation, Mingjin retreats! 』
I am slowly withdrawing my troops at this moment, and Sun Quan and Zhou Yu dare not chase after them.
This is for sure.
Zhou Yu''s side was exhausted from fighting hard, while Sun Quan''s side had to go out of the city to line up, and the autumn sky was getting dark very quickly, and it would be dark in a blink of an eye. If Jiang Dong really dared to catch up, he must light a fire, and then When the enemy is in the dark, Cao Cao doesn''t mind ambush.
But there is a great possibility that the two sides will stop fighting.
Sure enough, seeing Cao Cao slowly withdrawing his troops, Zhou Yu also ordered to call for gold, and instead of stalking, the two sides began to break away from each other and left the battlefield where corpses were left.
Although it''s a pity, it''s the way it is now.
Cao Cao shook his head slightly and sighed.
After all, I am not twenty years old anymore, and the thief will definitely not give me another twenty years to make waves. Therefore, since the current situation has changed that I did not expect, it is obviously not good enough. It is possible to win the Jiangdong soldiers quickly, so we must first seek stability!
Anyway, this wave of mine, no matter how I count it, I will not lose money, either from here or from the side. Now that Zhou Yu has returned to the army, the siege of Jiangling is almost equivalent to a siege, so even if he retreats with money, he will not lose money, and then send scouts to find out the changes before proceeding to the next strategy. question…
This round will be regarded as a tie for the time being, and the confrontation will be another day!
…ヽ(｀Д)…
The war in Jiangxia has temporarily come to an end, but the situation in the Western Regions has become more and more intense, like the cold current of the cold winter in the north, roaring in.
In mid-August, the cold wind blowing from the north howled at the mountain pass, like the roar of death.
Yun Rong and his party returned from Congling to the Western Regions, crossing mountains and ridges, and finally saw some people in their field of vision, which meant that they had finally walked out of the mountains and deserts, and were getting closer to Dunhuang.
There was also a long dispute among the Yunrong tribe about leaving Congling this time and going out to Dunhuang.
Most of the younger generation expressed their willingness to go out for a while, um, give it a try, while the older clansmen expressed their opposition, unwilling to leave the environment they are used to, and then cooperate with strangers, even if these strange Han people will The prospects for the future are painted in a hype.
Then naturally they are at loggerheads with each other.
Young people think that older people are stubborn and do not think about change, while older people think that young people are reckless and do not know what to do...
The final result is that some of them are led by the older tribal leaders and continue to live in Congling, while the young sons of the patriarchs take some of the same young Yunrong people to Dunhuang to pursue the bright future that they long for. .
The son of Yunrong''s patriarch, his name is very long and difficult to pronounce. Although he has said it several times, Jiang Jiong still can''t remember it, so Jiang Jiong simply intercepted one of the syllables and called him "Yun Er". …
"Yun Er" didn''t object either, because according to Jiang Jiong''s explanation, the patriarch Yunrong is naturally the oldest one, so the patriarch''s son is naturally the second, that is, "Yun Er".
Troubles come out of poor mountains and rivers, this sentence... um...
Because of the harsh natural conditions, people who can live in poor mountains and rivers often need stronger bodies and stronger strength, while those who are sick and weak are eliminated by nature and cannot survive at all.
Yunrong is the same.
In the plateau mountains and forests like Congling, almost everyone in Yunrong, who is half herding and half plowing, is a warrior. Facing the cruelty of nature and the tigers, leopards and bears in the mountains, he has also cultivated his strong physique. As the son of the patriarch Yun Er is the leader among the younger generation. Because of his status, Yun Er, who is not short of food and drink, has big arms and a round waist, with hair all over his body, even on his face, and the fur of a black bear that he said was killed by himself is slanted, just like a black bear. Be more like a beast than a man.
『Go a little further and you will find Dunhuang...』Jiang Jiong explained with gestures,『There will be delicious food over there...』
Qiang is a large-scale tribal agglomeration that already existed in the Zhou Dynasty. The "Book of Songs · Shang Song" records: "In the past, there was Cheng Tang, and since then Di Qiang..."
Therefore, Qiang language is the common language in most areas of the Western Regions, and Yunrong is no exception. Although some pronunciations have changed, and communication is a bit difficult, it is not that the two parties cannot understand at all. Jiang Jiong’s words probably allow two I can understand more or less.
Jiang Jiong was thinking about the food of the Han family, but Yun Er was thinking about another thing. Seeing Jiang Jiong turned around to lead the way, he quickly reached out and grabbed Jiang Jiong, saying: "That...over there, you, tell me One, a very powerful person...I, want to fight with a very powerful person...』
While talking, Yun Er was shaking his fist tightly in front of Jiang Jiong, grinning ferociously.
"what? ”Jiang Jiong was taken aback, and then he reacted a bit, and said tentatively, “Did you say that you want to compete...with Wen Hou? ah? Why? 』
Yun Er said very seriously: "Whoever is strong and powerful, I will listen to him..."
Jiang Jiang: "..."
