Chapter 069 Battle of Jiang Cheng

March Wuwu New Year.

The outpost came to report that 5,000 troops led by Wu Fuzhi, a general under Huan Xuan, between Jingkou and Jiankang, were defending the river.

Only two hours after the trip, I saw warships all over the river. Judging from the strength of the warships of both sides, it is impossible to break through the defense line on the river. I had to dock all the ships to attack Wu Fu's base camp.

I have heard of Wu Fuzhi for a long time. He is the first general under Huan Xuan and is very favored by Huan Xuan.

I met Wu Fuzhi many times when I was in Jiankang, and I never knew that he was the fierce general called "Chu Hu". He is very humble among ministers and generals, not only to Huan Xuan, but also to others regardless of their rank. This man didn't seem to be brave at all. When he first saw him, he thought he was Huan Xuan's groom or servant, and he didn't care at all.

Huan Xuan is arrogant and brave. Even if he becomes an emperor, he likes to compete with some generals who are proficient in martial arts on the campus. Huan Xuan fought with Wu Fu many times, and every time he won narrowly. Of course, Huan Xuan knew that Wu Fuzhi's martial arts skills were much higher than his own, but Wu Fuzhi always lost very cleverly, making it difficult to see the flaws, which made Huan Xuan very satisfied, so he appreciated him even more.

The Wu Fuzhi I saw today is far from the modest "horseman" or "servant" I saw in Jiankang City a few months ago.

This fierce general known as "Chu" seems to have completely changed, revealing his tiger nature. But I saw him standing on a high hill with a halberd all over. He was born burly, which makes him much taller than the people around him. It is majestic and heroic.

I have never seen a person change so much, and I can't help but be more cautious about it. The more such a person is, the more it should not be underestimated.

Wu Fuzhi is not only like a tiger, but also his soldiers are like tigers. In the first charge, the vanguard of our army killed 30 or 40 soldiers, while Wu Fu's army still held its position and remained motionless. Wu Fu's number is several times more than our army, occupying a favorable position and waiting for work. Judging from the first battle, the situation is extremely unfavorable to us.

This is the first battle to attack Jiankang. If morale is depressed, it will not only hinder the advance of the rebels, but also be detrimental to Meng Chang, Liu Daolian and others to recruit troops in Jingkou, Guangling and other places. This is a crucial battle.

If I don't take the lead in fighting against that "Chu Tiger", I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through the first line of defense in the suburbs of Jiankang. So I shouted, "Take my moon knife!"

Liu Zhong handed me my knife in person. I held a knife in my hand and said to Liu Yi beside me, "Xile, please beat the drum and cheer in person until I go to kill the enemy in person." After saying that, I was ready to charge with more than 100 dead men under my subordinates.

I only heard someone shouting behind him: "General, you can't kill a chicken with a cow knife." Looking back, I saw Meng Longfu jumping out of the crowd. Behind him, Keen raised his knife and Liu Rongzu's two guns also rushed out.

So, I took the lead, Meng, Kui and Liu side by side, and hundreds of dead soldiers killed the enemy.

This is a typical position battle. When fighting against the weak, positional warfare is extremely unfavorable to the smaller party. The art of war is very taboo for such battles. However, in terms of my experience against the enemy dozens of times in recent years, the competition between the two armies is not the victory of the strong, nor the victory of the brave, but the victory of the fearless who gains morale.

The first battle has lost morale, and the second battle must be a life-and-death battle.

We have not rushed to the front of the enemy array, and several enemy soldiers in front of the array have been shot down. Wu Fuzhi was also struggling to block the arrows shot in front of him with halberd and shield. This is Liu Rongzu's first attack.

Wu Fuzhi's soldiers were really brave. After the enemy in front of him was shot down, they still stood in a row under the back row.

I rushed to the front of the team, jumped up and cut down several enemy soldiers, and rushed out a gap in the enemy's defense. Meng Longfu, Keen and Liu Rongzu behind them also grabbed the array and scattered their feet respectively. The enemy's position was in chaos, and our dead men filed in.

Most of the dead soldiers I led were from the Long Knife Camp and were personally trained by Wei Yongzhi and Ao En. They have the exquisite array and knife skills. They cooperate with each other, advance and retreat, and naturally form four arrays and gather behind the four of us. The enemy array soon seemed to have been torn open four wounds, and the wounds were constantly expanding.

Except for Wu Fu, the rest of the enemy's soldiers are not my four opponents at all. This killing forced the enemy soldiers to retreat.

Wu Fuzhi was deeply afraid of chaos, and he and two companies of generals cut down several retreating enemy soldiers, but he still couldn't suppress the battle. Wu Fuzhi was so angry that he pushed away the soldiers in front of him and shouted at me.

When I just cut down several enemy soldiers who were entangled with me in front of me, Wu Fuzhi's halberd was also stabbed. I dodged sideways and stabbed his hand.

He was quick-eyed and wrapped the halberd in an arc to avoid my blade. He stabbed the halberd again and was hit by me with a knife. Hearing the "beam" sound, I not only made a tinnitus, blood surged up my head, but also the tiger's mouth was numb, the handle of the knife sank down, and I almost took off my hand.

Wu Fuzhi is indeed a fierce general with infinite power!

Wu Fuzhi is not much better than me in this round. His halberd was shaken around his head by my knife, then turned his hand and turned his halberd head towards me. Instead of attacking, he stared at me, which seemed to be a little confused. It seems that he didn't expect that my strength was not weak. The hard fight just now also shocked him a little.

After confronting each other for a while, they recovered and continued to fight in one place. My knife is heavier than Wu Fuzhi's halberd. If I hit it, I will have the advantage. Wu Fuzhi saw that he was at a disadvantage in weapons, so he simply stopped working hard and switched to a set of clever halberd methods.

I have used halberd before. However, my halberd method is far from Wu Fu's. If you want to crack his halberd method from martial arts, as long as I slow down one step forward, I may be buried under Wu Fu's halberd.

For good, I occupied the advantage of the weight of the moon knife and wanted to continue to expand this advantage, so I tried to dance the moon knife, facing his halberd and attacking the key points on him. Wu Fuzhi tried his best to avoid confronting me, which also more or less resolved part of his halberd method.

When the two weapons touched one place again, my blade just hit his halberd handle and cut his halberd in half.

When Wu Fu was in a hurry, he waved his halberd head and halberd handle, and was forced to retreat repeatedly by me. I saw the opportunity and was about to jump hard, but I might as well get an arrow in my leg. This arrow hurt my old wound, and I shouted, the pain was unbearable, and I almost fell down.

Wu Fuzhi took this opportunity to seize a soldier's horse and continue to stab me. I was unstable, so I had to fight on one side and retreat on the other. Wu Fuzhi's flexible footwork made me overwhelmed. Gradually, Wu Fuzhi no longer deliberately avoided my knife. The two soldiers met, but he had the advantage. In a round, he picked up the horse and almost picked my moon knife away.

The soldiers behind me saw that the situation was critical. Although they knew that the two fierce generals were extremely dangerous when they fought, they still rushed up to protect me. The soldiers under Wu Fu saw this and also rushed up. Both our soldiers and the enemy soldiers have eased my pressure on Wu Fu's attack.

Wu Fu's chance of winning was in hand. When he saw his soldiers jumping in front of him to make trouble, he was angry, but he had no choice. Pushing left and right, but still can't open a way.

After the two sides fought together, Wu Fuzhi saw that he had lost a good opportunity to kill me. Relying on how many people he was not afraid that I would escape, he simply inserted the weapon in his hand into the ground and watched us fight with great interest. Wu Fuzhi's own soldiers are all armored soldiers: they wear helmets and armor all over their bodies, and their defenses are excellent. I watched the soldiers around me fall one by one, but I couldn't take care of myself.

Although Meng Longfu, Kui En and others also wanted to come to rescue, they were far away from me and surrounded by many enemy soldiers and could not be separated.

In a short time, all the soldiers around me died, and I was the only one left to fight with those soldiers.

If one of the soldiers is cut down by me, they will surround two people, and four people will be surrounded by two people. Although I became more and more brave, there were more and more armors around me, and my leg injuries were getting worse and worse.

Fortunately, there was a team of people behind me to share my worries.

I took advantage of the back and forth of the Jiashi to kill their siege. I cut down the guards in front of Wu Fuzhi and took Wu Fuzhi directly. Wu Fuzhi's eyes were blocked by the guards in front of him. When I cut him with a knife, he hurried to defend himself. I tried my best with this knife and was determined to get it. How could he defend calmly? I only heard two sounds of "kaka" and "poof", and Wu Fuzhi's head was cut off by me together with his head.

When our soldiers saw that I killed the enemy general, they shouted together: "Wu Fuzhi was killed!" Wu Fuzhi was killed!"

Those enemy soldiers near the left fled and scattered when they saw that the main general was dead and had no intention to fight. Seeing the situation, Tan led the main force to rush up and seized the important land of Jiang Cheng.

The enemy on the river fled and was robbed by our army of many warships. These warships are enough to accommodate all our rebels.

So we rearranged and equipped the vanguard with strong and fast enemy warships. Allocate the boat we used to the soldiers led by the Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi brothers who are still marching on land. The worst ship was sent to the heavy team. Although these burdens are a burden on the way to the march, these burdens are indispensable in the upcoming siege and street battle of Jiankang.

After the formation was completed, Tan and I took two ships and more than 20 Meng Chong ships first.
