Chapter 30 Two Deaths
"Governor, no!" After about half an hour, Zhou Tai bowed his head and led more than half of the casualties back. Looking at Zhou Yu's face, Zhou Tai gritted his teeth and said, "There is only one path in the back mountain, which is far less spacious than the front mountain road. If you attack the mountain from there, the Xuzhou army can defend it with only a few hundred people.
"I see!" Zhou Yu's tone was cold, which made people shudder. The order went down, so that the soldiers could rest in shifts and keep attacking. No matter how many casualties there are today, I have to take Shentingling for me and capture Zhao Botao alive. I will kill him with my own hands and avenge my brother! Zhou Yu's order finally made Cheng Pu and others feel a little relieved. After all, it is better to rest in shifts than to rush up. In fact, the reason why Zhou Yu forcibly attacked overnight in a way that almost did not count the casualties was, of course, on the one hand, revenge for Sun Ce, but on the other hand, he knew that the reason why the Xuzhou army blocked him so much in Shentingling was by no means aimless. What happened in Wu County, so he made up his mind. We should rush to Wu County as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Zhou Yu also ordered someone to take out a carrier pigeon carried with the army. The flying pigeon told Sun Quan that he was slightly hindered and would probably arrive tomorrow morning.
"Attack on Shenting Ridge and capture Zhao Botao alive!" At the beginning of the third wave of attack, the commanders of the Jiangdong Army had begun to incite the soldiers to shout this slogan. Thousands of people all over the mountain roared at the cross truth, and then rushed to the mountain either actively or passively. Shit, what do you think of me for giving me so much face? Zhao Feng saw a wave of eastern troops coming up like crazy, and his soldiers were doing everything possible to stop them. This scene reminded him of the old movie "Red Day". In the end, the People's Liberation Army also roared to capture Zhang Lingfu alive. I hope he would not end up committing suicide today.
"General Zhao, are these Jiangdong bastards crazy?" Another wave of attacks was repulsed. Chen Da wiped the blood on his face and asked hatefully. Leave them alone and guard them. How about the casualties of the soldiers? Zhao Feng asked in a low voice. Now I am the backbone of this garrison, not only my own side thinks so, but also the enemy acquiesces.
" Up to now, there have been 2,000 casualties, and Bai's elite soldiers have been killed and injured nearly 100!" Chen is a little unbelievable. Zhao Feng looked up at the sky. At this time, he should have blocked the enemy for at least five hours. It should be almost midnight now, more than an hour away from the two updates.
"Give up, I think Jiangdong's army has killed at least 5,000!" Zhao Feng comforted him. Although the terrain of Shentingling is still flat, it is a mountain after all. When the Jiangdong Army attacks from the front, it can only send 2,000 people at most at a time, otherwise the formation will not be opened. Fortunately, the Xuzhou Army can also effectively kill and injure the enemy while preserving its strength.
"Wh!" Another Huang Zhong shot with an arrow, and another uncle of Jiang Dong's army was shot through the chest by him again. This is already the twenty-seventh officer who died under his arrow. The Xuzhou army, which was trying to defend, was still full of colorful voices and morale was greatly boosted. The Jiangdong Army had long known that the Xuzhou Army had an archery veteran who specialized in sniping and commanding officers. For a while, they were a little uneasy and their attack efficiency was greatly reduced.
With the thirtieth chief being shot to death by Huang Zhong with an arrow, this wave of attack was also repulsed. This is already the eighth attack launched by the Jiangdong Army. Keep attacking, don't stop!" Zhou Yu's cold words made Tai Shici, who was ready to suggest, swallow the words back into his stomach. Zhou Yu is working hard. It seems that he wants to avenge Sun Ce!" Zhao Feng saw that Jiang Dong's army was so vigorous to attack the city, and soon figured out the key. Seeing that Jiang Dongjun was preparing to organize the ninth wave of attacks, Zhao Feng also took the opportunity to drink a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then roared at Zhou Yu at the bottom of the mountain: "Zhou Yu, you son of a bitch! You are just a piece of shit, and no one will play with it in the yard! Your mother doesn't have an asshole, your father sells his asshole, and you have a rotten asshole! At the age of one, he learned to cry, at the age of two, he learned to laugh, at the age of three, he learned to stand, at the age of four, he learned to crawl, at the age of five, he learned to peek at his mother to take a shower, and at the age of ten, he was castated into the palace as an eunuch!" His voice was loud, and Shentingling was not too high. In addition, there was no shouting to kill at this time. Most of the soldiers of the two armies heard clearly and suddenly there was an uproar.
Zhao Feng was still not satisfied, and then scolded, "Your dog said that he was a fake man. When he met Sun Ce, a fake man, he became a governor of Jiangdong. You two fake men are blind to the beautiful wife in the family for nothing!" After the call, Zhao Feng felt really refreshed, and more than half of his resentment after being suppressed for a long time seemed to have gone.
"General Zhao, your swearing words are also a little poisonous!" After listening to it, Chen thought about it for a long time, and then he still expressed his admiration to Zhao Feng. He was caught alive for a long time by him. The clay figurine also has a local surname!" Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"Zhou Yu, fake man! Zhou Yu, fake man!" Chen Da and Zhao Feng are still flattering each other, and the crossbowman under Huang Zhong over there has begun to scold the street in a rhythmic way. Sure enough, he is old and strong, and his learning ability is no worse than that of young people at all!" Zhao Feng sighed, and Chen Da nodded repeatedly and fully agreed.
"It's unreasonable!" Zhou Yu's handsome face at the foot of the mountain was already red with anger. He had never seen such a vicious shrew scolding the street. The governor, the last general is willing to lead another person to kill Shentingling and kill Zhao Feng's dog thief!" Tai Shici also gritted his teeth. Zhao Feng scolded so harshly that even the dead Sun Ce was scolded by him. However, in the confrontation between the two armies, I don't care about accumulating morality.
"Zhou Tai, go with me again!" Zhou Yu said angrily. Zhou Tai also personally selected a man and was about to kill up the mountain. But Cheng Pu, who was beside him, panicked and said, "Governor, fire, Wu County is on fire!" Zhou Yu turned his head and looked at it from afar. Shentingling was only 20 miles away from Wu County, but he saw that the direction of Wu County was indeed on fire. As soon as he ordered someone to attack, he hurriedly called Tanma to find out what was going on.
"General, Wu County is on fire!" On Shentingling, Chen Dao was also excited and said to Zhao Feng. Very good, let the soldiers work hard to hold on. After the Lord fairly appoints Wu County, he will send someone to rescue us!" Zhao Feng stood higher. In addition to the fire, he could also faintly see people fighting in Wu County.
In fact, as Zhao Feng expected, Wujun City was indeed in a melee at this time. Because Shentingling and Wujun are not far away, since the confrontation between Zhou Yu and Zhao Feng in the evening, Sun Quan and others in the city have heard the movement, and even Sun Quan personally led the officials to the head of the West City to check. Later, after receiving Zhou Yu's flying pigeon biography, I realized that it was blocked by the Xuzhou army. Fortunately, the reinforcements were only 20 miles away. Although they did not meet, they finally saw it, and Sun Quan and others were much more at ease. At the same time, Xu Gong was afraid that Zhou Yu would break through the defense and come to reinforce him. After a long time of hesitation, he actually united with his party. Without waiting for the agreed second update, he took the risk of opening the south city gate.
His early launch made the Xuzhou army waiting outside the city a little unresponsive. Fortunately, the defenders paid attention to the battle of Shentingling in the west, and there were not many defenders in the south gate. After Xu Gong was entangled with thousands of people, he opened the city gate under a sudden attack. However, how could the combat effectiveness of the private soldiers composed of Xu Gong's temporary family servants be as good as that of the regular army? In a short time, Ma Zhong, the garrison who was patrolling nearby, led his troops to kill him. There was a scuffle at the south gate of the two sides, and Xu Gong was immediately defeated.
Seeing that the city gate was about to be recaptured by the Jiangdong army, Wenpin and Xu Sheng, who were ambushed outside the south gate, finally led a commando into the city and launched a fierce battle with Ma Zhong. At this time, there are less than 300 people left under Xu Gong's command. As long as he gives Ma Zhong another cup of tea, he can take back the city gate, but Wen Ping will never give him this opportunity.
"Help me!" Xu Gong is a civil servant. He was frightened by such a fighting scene. If it hadn't been for the desperate guards around him, he would have died a few times. Ma Zhong deeply hated him for colluding with foreign enemies, but led the army to beat him up. At this time, Xu Sheng led the army to stop Ma Zhong from fighting. Xu Gong finally escaped and was protected out of the city.
"Is your Excellency Xu Taishou?" Wen Ping saw a civil servant who was protected by everyone and slipped out of the city, so he hurried forward and asked. It's Xu, the unknown general? Xu Gong agreed repeatedly.
"Recruit below!" Wen Ping replied that Xu Gong quickly thanked Wen Ping for saving his life when he heard the words. Xu Taishou was too polite, and Wen was also ordered to act. Uncle Liu is in the tent. It's not safe to fight here. The Taishou should go to see my master first!" Wen Ping was extremely polite and took Xu Gong to see Liu Bei in person.
"Thank you very much!" Xu Gong was grateful. At this time, a stream of arrows shot down the head of the city. Wen Ping seemed to pull Xu Gong intentionally or unintentionally. After the latter staggered a step, the arrow hit his back heart.
"Huh?" The flying disaster caught Xu Gong off guard, and then death came quickly. At the moment before he lost consciousness, he seemed to hear Wen Ping say, "I'm sorry, Xu Taishou, you know too much!"
Xu Gong's accidental death was just a small episode. More and more Xuzhou troops entered Wu County through the South Gate and started a street battle with the defenders in the city. Without the tall wall as a bunker, the gap in the combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong Army and the Xuzhou Army's infantry was suddenly reflected. Sun Quan and others were not generals who were good at on-the-spot command. In this way, the defenders almost relied on the instinct of survival to fight fiercely with the Xuzhou army, and the balance of victory or defeat gradually tilted towards the Xuzhou army.
The night's melee did not end until the slight whiteness of the East came to an end. Shortly after the beginning of the fierce battle, Zhou Yu also knew from the detective horse that Wu was about to fall. He, who had already attacked hard, was even more crazy and ordered people to attack Shentingling at all costs.
"General Zhao, this fake man is anxious!" After repelling another wave of attacks, Chen was also out of breath. Uncle Zhi insisted a little more. I saw that Wu Jun's shouting to kill stopped. Presumably the lord has taken down the city and can come to reinforce us immediately!" Zhao Feng wiped the blood splashed on his face. Despite the pungent smell of blood, he tried his best to encourage Chen.
"I see!" Chen was also a sensible person. He didn't say anything when he heard the words and was ready to defend the next attack of the Jiangdong Army. At this time, the mountain road was already full of the bodies of the Jiangdong army, and the bodies of the Xuzhou army's own people who died in the war were dragged back to the top of the mountain. Zhou Yu was in a hurry to capture Shentingling, but he didn't even have time to collect the body.
"It's broken!" Zhou Yu listened to the shouting of killing in Wu County in the distance, and suddenly had an ominous foreboding in his heart. Just then, a previously dispatched Tanma hurried back to report to him.
"Great Governor, Wu County is lost!"
