Chapter 2639 Darkness at dawn
“Whoosh”, an arrow flew across the bridge with lightning and shot down a Sun Hao soldier who appeared at the end of the bridge.
?Sun Hao, who was on the other side of the bridge, cursed loudly.
He has been stuck at the bridge for more than half an hour, and he can''t get over it even if he is dead or alive.
Sun Hao sat on horseback, brandishing his sword and shouted loudly: "Bring down the bridge for me!" The first one to rush over will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins! As long as you capture the inner palace, the money will be yours! Each person will be given another thousand gold! 』
The rebels immediately became restless.
What kind of generals are there are, of course, what kind of subordinates they have.
Another wave was organized. The leading soldier gave a loud shout, and more than a hundred people whose morale was aroused swarmed forward.
?The stone bridge is not wide and cannot be spread out even if there are many people.
Arrows roared and shot several people to the ground.
?Some of Sun Hao''s soldiers on the other two sides began to tentatively jump off the canal and swim high and low to the opposite side.
Most of the soldiers in Jiangdong are good at bows and arrows, and the same is naturally true for Zhou Tai''s men.
In comparison, Sun Hao seemed to be a little unprepared. First he did not prepare enough shields, and then he did not adjust his strategy in time. He just knew how to rush in a wave, and then was repelled, and then charged again, until Sun Hao himself After arriving, there were slight changes.
?Zhou Tai’s face and body were covered in blood.
In front of him, the corpses of many Sun Hao soldiers were lying scattered.
Perhaps there are also some green-skinned hooligans who take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Zhou Tai clenched the sword in his hand and shouted: "Spearmen come forward!" 』
With Sun Hao''s encouragement, the rebels finally rushed across the bridge with arrows in their hands.
"kill! 』
??The spearmen roared in unison, raised their spears, and stabbed Sun Hao and several rebels at the front to death on the spot.
The rebels still charged under the inertia. The spearmen in front of Zhou Tai raised their hands and poked their spears out from the shoulders of the front row. The dense spears kept expanding and contracting, bringing out a canopy of blood every time.
The disorganized rebels collided with Zhou Tai''s array, and were unable to cross the defense line formed by the spearheads for a while. More and more corpses were piled up. Those in front wanted to retreat, but those behind blocked the bridge, forming a mass. A crowded and chaotic crowd.
??Zhou Tai stood on the front line, and his thick armor gave him enough protection. Although he was still injured, he was still a terrifying and fierce killing machine. The sharp sword can easily cut off human life. Strange faces fell down with pain, turning into piles of corpses on the ground.
With everything in front of them finally empty, the remnants of Sun Hao''s rebel army lost the morale to continue the attack and turned around and fled.
This wave of attacks was repelled by Zhou Tai again.
??Sun Hao''s soldiers, who were swimming and climbing in the river, realized that the troops on the bridge had been defeated. When Zhou Tai''s archers started shooting at them, they all screamed strangely and fled back...
Time passes gradually.
The night is finally passing, and dawn is coming soon.
Cheng Pu rode his horse to the **** and took a look at the inner city to the north of Wu County. He felt relieved. As long as nothing happened to the inner city to the north of Wu County, the plan would be basically successful.
He led his troops along the way, leaving even the baggage behind.
Huang Gai Cheng Pu is the mainstay of the veterans.
Since Huang Gai was involved in this matter, how could Cheng Pu stand idly by?
Huang Gai stared at Zhu Zhi and others, and Cheng Pu came to deal with Sun Hao.
??But to Cheng Pu, this was just like a farce.
Cheng Pu followed Sun Jian back then, and then until now, he has been fighting on the battlefield for so many years. In terms of combat capabilities, whether he is on water or land, whether he is leading infantry or cavalry, he is definitely not first-rate. But he must be the most balanced.
Simply put, Cheng Pu is the universal balm, which can be applied wherever it is needed. With many years of experience, Cheng Pu has no problem whether he is leading the forwards or handling the logistics.
It is precisely because of this that Cheng Pu feels more and more that the current situation is really a ridiculous farce.
It’s not just Sun Hao.
?There is also Jiangdong.
??If possible, Cheng Puzhen would like to kill all these Jiangdong nobles in one go.
?These descendants of the Jiangdong gentry are the biggest obstacle to the entire Sun family''s great cause.
Collude with each other, control places, embezzle assets, hoard, deceive superiors and subordinates, and seek profit. Basically, apart from appearing to be the same person on the surface, there is no clue what is hidden under the glamorous appearance. .
At the moment of the Han Dynasty, the world is in chaos!
In times of chaos, who doesn’t know that only by uniting as one can we have greater strength?
??Are these Jiangdong gentry children all fools who don’t even understand this truth?
No, they all know it, but they don’t do it.
Cheng Pu knew that Zhou Yu had faked his death, but not everyone among the Jiangdong gentry could guess it. But what did those people do when they heard the news that Zhou Yu was dead? We are still organizing cocktail parties, and we are especially looking for some highly skilled working women.
Declaring regret and sorrow to the outside world.
Inside, there is laughter and singing.
No matter how big the event is, no matter how many people are killed or injured, it is not as important as the word Ding Ding.
??If it were a more fashionable Ding Ding, it would be more important than the lives of many people.
?In the hearts of these gentry children in Jiangdong, they themselves are the first priority, first as individuals, then as families, then as Jiangdong, and finally as the great Han...
This time, Sun Hao jumped out. To be honest, as long as anyone with the Jiangdong surname said hello, he could stop this clown. Just like when this guy wanted to cause trouble for the first time, Yu Fan came forward and said a few words, and Sun Hao got cold feet.
?But now, why is there no one to stop it?
Cheng Pu laughed in his heart.
Do you really think that Jiangdong is the only place in this world? Just Koto?
Cheng Pu waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to advance.
『Give me the order to attack the traitor army directly! 』
??Jiangdong is good at naval forces, but it also has some cavalry.
Cheng Pu led the cavalry, suddenly protruding from the night, rolling toward Wu County. These are the treasure-like cavalry in Jiangdong!
?These cavalry are well equipped and equipped with armor. As a private collection of Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and other veteran generals, they have always been an important means of decisive battles in front of the battle!
Now that they are all here, they have set up their formations, and the sky and the earth are rolling with murderous intent, filled with the thunderous sound of horse hooves, which immediately frightened Sun Hao''s soldiers outside Wu Commandery. The war horses, the swords and armor are gleaming with cold light, and they are like the envoys of the underworld rushing towards me!
Cut off foreign aid, trigger civil strife, and then at the last moment, use the power of a lion to beat a rabbit to subdue the thieves!
Although Sun Hao''s soldiers didn''t know what was going on, when they saw this situation, they instinctively felt that something was wrong, and they did not have the courage to confront Cheng Pu''s cavalry. They immediately rolled and crawled, thinking only of avoiding the sharp edge and escaping with their own lives in mind!
After Cheng Pu arrived at Wu Commandery, he did not immediately rush into Wu Commandery to rescue Sun Quan. Instead, he launched a fierce raid on Sun Hao''s camp outside the city.
In Sun Hao''s camp, the main force followed Sun Hao to Wujun City and attacked the inner city. Others who had a little bit of force could not restrain their restless thoughts and secretly went to Wujun City to rob. Those who stayed behind were all old people. Weak and forced civilian husband.
Cheng Pu and his men came rushing towards him, and without even receiving a few arrows, they destroyed Sun Hao''s camp.
The cleaning of the camp is still in progress. Many rebels and civilians are running around in the dark, and they are not completely under control for the time being.
?Outside the east gate of Wu County, there are scattered used torches, torn strips of cloth, and some straw sandals, long spears, short spears, and even shields left behind for unknown reasons...
Facing such a scene, Cheng Puzhen didn''t know whether to laugh or sigh.
…(╬￣俣)=○…
The inner city of Wu County.
Originally, the inner city of Wu County was just an ordinary government office, but later the Sun family settled in Jiangdong and began to carry out major civil engineering works inside Wu County. Now it can be regarded as a city within a city, with the flavor of a large fort. .
? Later, after Sun Ce handed over the power to Sun Quan, Sun Quan also wanted to do some business here in Wu County, so he continued to repair and build it more or less, and built an inner city that was full of things.?????In the inner city, there are places for leisure and places for military armor.
?The guards are all selected from the Sun family or loyal soldiers in the army. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Especially the inner palace in the inner city is under strict vigilance. All the rice, flour, meat and vegetables used every day are all taken by these Sun family''s cronies and escorted in. Even the servants serving in the inner palace have to check their basics. If they are even slightly out of step, they are absolutely not allowed to enter.
Such a strict screening process was not just done during this period of time, but has been conducted over and over again since Sun Ce''s death, in order to be able to deal with possible situations like the current situation.
??The simplest thing is that there were only a few dozen guards guarding the inner palace, but now they have become nearly a thousand pro-army troops!
??It''s just that these nearly a thousand people, gathered together, are quite a lot, but they are scattered around the inner city, and there are not many people at each point.
Zhou Tai returned in disguise, and Sun Quan knew that Zhou Yu was pretending to be dead. Although it was one of Sun Quan''s wishes to completely eliminate the hidden danger Sun Hao this time, Sun Hao was named Sun after all. This Zhou Yu...
But even though Sun Quan was suspicious, he was helpless.
If you think about it deeper...
??On one side, there was constant noise coming from the stone bridge, and on the other side, there were the chaotic thoughts that came to his mind from time to time. Sun Quan looked calm and composed on the surface, but in fact, his little clothes were soaked with sweat.
?But no matter how long the wait is, it will eventually come to an end.
I don’t know how long it took, but Sun Quan finally heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves outside the inner city!
Cheng Pu came with his cavalry to break the attack. Sun Hao''s originally somewhat restrained army of thousands of rebels suddenly became a mess, and those green-skinned rangers who sneaked in to join the chaos were also scurrying around like squirrels hiding from the light. He immediately hid himself in the shadows to avoid the oncoming swords, guns and horse hooves.
??Sun Hao also had some war horses, but they were not many in number and did not form an army. There was no special cavalry training. When he saw Cheng Pu approaching with murderous intent, he immediately forgot about any "great cause" or "grand plan". Regardless of what he shouted when he first took the oath and set off, or what he mentally built up for himself during the march, when he saw Cheng Pu''s fierce look, Sun Hao suddenly only had the following thoughts in his mind: A thought.
Run quickly!
When Cheng Pu saw Sun Hao''s figure, he immediately shouted and led the cavalry straight to Sun Hao''s place!
?Sun Hao was so frightened that he beat his horse hurriedly, wishing that he could grow wings and fly away from the dangerous situation. However, the road was congested, and Sun Hao was not as good at riding as Cheng Pu. Seeing Cheng Pu getting closer and closer, Sun Hao was so anxious that his voice became sharp, as if someone had pinched his balls, "Here comes someone!" Someone is coming! Save me, save me! 』
??Several guards following Sun Hao looked at each other, some lowered their heads and pretended not to hear at all, but a few guards shouted loudly and turned to fight Cheng Pu...
Cheng Pu swung his horse, and first knocked down the spear thrust by Sun Hao''s guard from the left, losing his accuracy. Then he leveled his horse and charged towards the rider on the right. The horses and spears of both sides crossed each other. However, the horse''s spear was longer and more flexible. Before the cavalryman on the right could reach Cheng Pu with his spear, Cheng Pu had already knocked the cavalryman on the right off his horse with one spear!
Sun Hao’s eyes widened and he looked at everything in front of him in horror!
?Then he saw Cheng Pu running straight towards him almost non-stop!
??The blood on the horseshoe was dripping, getting closer and closer to Sun Hao.
?Just when Sun Hao felt that he was finished, he saw Cheng Pu''s contemptuous eyes, then slightly turned his horse, and knocked Sun Hao off his horse with one blow!
『Tie it up! 』
…_(:з ∠)_…
Above the inner city of Wu County, fire was blazing.
There were fires everywhere in the city, and the lights and shadows shone wildly. Among these lights and shadows were mixed the cries of the people of Wu County.
No matter what the flag is, no matter what the slogan is, in every such restless rebellion, the first to suffer are always the people.
??If we say that we can defend the inner city and defeat the rebel army, then victory is already decided.
But what I want is more than this?
Every fight. Every plan and every adventure is for Jiangdong''s luck!
?Sun Quan raised his head.
This is Jiangdong of the Sun family!
Even if you die, you must protect this inheritance!
Whoever wants to covet this inheritance, let him die!
?He was more or less insomniac during these days, thinking about all kinds of things, and then he ran into the Sun Hao incident.
The battle in Wujun was of great significance to him. If he could survive it, it would mean that he could continue to stand on his feet.
After Cheng Pu arrived, he defeated Sun Hao''s army with an almost overwhelming force.
At this time, Wujun City became less noisy, and neither the south gate nor the north gate sent out emergency signals.
Looking to the east, the sky was already slightly white, and Sun Quan let out a long breath.
The situation has been decided.
Not long after, Zhou Tai came back from his garrison, covered in blood, and took Sun Hao, who was **** on all fours like a dolphin, to the inner city gate to resume his life.
?Sun Quan was too lazy to say anything to Sun Hao, and even looked at him with disgust. They ordered Sun Hao to be imprisoned in the inner city prison first, under strict supervision by Sun''s personal guards.
??Zhou Tai came to Sun Quan, smelling of blood, reported the battle situation, and then said: "My lord...do you want to take this opportunity..."
Zhou Tai''s words were full of murderous intent.
??Although Zhou Tai defended the stone bridge this time, Zhou Tai still remembered the shame of being cheated by Hu Yu last time.
??A pirate not only has sufficient sources of supplies, but he can also seize the opportunity and prepare a trap for Zhou Tai. If no one in Jiangdong secretly communicates with Hu Yu, is it possible that all checkpoints and passes are made of paper?
??Although Zhou Tai doesn''t know which family is behind it, but now, maybe there is a chance to ignore which family, isn''t Sun Hao in his hands anyway?
?Sun Quan frowned.
??Zhou Tai whispered: "My lord, the city is in chaos now, why not..."
?Sun Quan took a deep breath, was silent for a moment, and shook his head, "No." 』
?Zhou Tai was a little confused. Because he felt that the Sun Hao incident had developed to this stage, and it was obvious that the Jiangdong nobles were either passive or secretly instigating it. The best thing to do was to sit on the sidelines and watch. Taking this opportunity to deal with these guys would not be considered as wronging these "Jiangdong heroes". ”, “Master from Wu County”!
Sun Quan said a little tiredly: "Unless we can kill them all in one go...otherwise, we still have to use these guys...This time, we have to kill some, but not now..."
Zhou Tai''s mind was racing, and he seemed to have caught something from Sun Quan''s words, but he never thought it through. After a moment, he gave up the idea of ??thinking it through, and just said with admiration: "I obey the order." My lord is really far-sighted..."
Sun Quan smiled at Zhou Tai and said, "This time Youping fought hard and won, and he will be rewarded when his merits are judged!" In the future, if Youping is appointed to another place, he will also need to weigh a lot. Whether to kill and **** will all depend on the gains and losses, not on the momentary mood...Wujun, Jiangdong...it is related to the overall situation and must be considered comprehensively..."
?Sun Quan sighed softly and looked at the gradually whitening sky in Wu County, "Otherwise, such a tragic price will be in vain..."
After the sky was completely bright, hundreds of boats came from the upper reaches of the river outside Wujun City to block the sun.
The soldiers who were on duty in Wujun also saw this scene on the city wall. Just when they were wondering, they saw the huge flag on the central building ship, which represented Zhou Yu''s three-army commander-in-chief flag. There was a huge cheer in unison!
Commander! 』
It’s the governor’s battle flag! 』
『The governor is not dead, the governor is not dead! 』
『God has mercy on Jiangdong! Governor! 』
?These shouts and shouts gradually swept across the entire Wu County!
?At the end, these chaotic cheers turned into two words...
Commander! 』
? ? Around Wu County, whether they were in the city or under the city, whether they were soldiers or farmers, they all listened to this shouting, and then involuntarily joined in, cheering!
??In the cabin of the central building ship, Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu sitting on the bow, with a somewhat complicated expression in his eyes.
