"Ma Zhong shoots the arrow! Shoot the arrow quickly!" Zhou Yu shouted.
"Bo Fu, come back soon!" Cheng Pu and Huang Gaice stepped forward and shouted at the same time.
"Don't hurt my lord!" Taishi Ci raised his halberd and clapped his horse.
Jiangdong's little overlord was kicked off his horse. To Jiangdong's soldiers, it was like the Chinese army's banner had been chopped off. Their faith was shattered before their eyes. They didn't even have time to react to what happened.
But Zhou Yu and the others seemed to have expected it and reacted very quickly.
Lu Bu showed no mercy, Fang Tian drew his halberd and stabbed Sun Ce who was still on the ground before he could get up.
Almost at the same time, Ma Zhong, under Zhou Yu's loud reminder, strung his bow and fired an arrow at Lu Bu, whoosh~
Perhaps it was Zhou Yu's cry of "Ma Zhong releases the arrow" that reminded Lu Bu, or perhaps he was too familiar with the sound of bows and arrows being strung. He almost didn't look in Ma Zhong's direction and subconsciously chose to withdraw his halberd. The whole person was lying on the back of Red Rabbit's horse, and the arrow flew past his head.
Although his movements were a bit awkward, he managed to avoid the arrow.
Taking advantage of this gap, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and Tai Shici were already standing in front of them. Zhou Yu helped Sun Ce to mount his horse quickly.
"Marquis Wen, be careful!"
"The thief will not let go of his cold arrows!"
"The killer will go in!"
At the same time, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, Xu Sheng and others shouted at the same time, regardless of their formation, they swarmed towards the pontoon, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos.
But Ma Zhong seemed to firmly believe that his archery skills were enough to kill Lu Bu in the chaos, so he continued to string his bow and fired two more arrows.
This time he was on guard, and even though the distance was very close, he was blocked by Fang Tian's painted halberd.
However, he had bought enough time for Sun Ce, and the group mounted their horses and ran towards the city.
Lu Bu, whose breath was not disturbed by the battle with Sun Ce, was because Ma Zhong shot three arrows in succession. His face was hot and his eyes were wide with anger. "You dare to do the same thing even though you are a trivial person!"
Regardless of whether Sun Ce dies or not, you will definitely not survive today!
Lu Bu immediately thrust Fang Tian's painted halberd into the ground, picked up the precious eagle bow under the saddle with his left hand, picked up a golden feather arrow with his right foot, and aimed at Ma Zhong.
At that time, Sun Ce and his party had already entered the city. Dozens of horsemen were mixed together. Coupled with the dust raised by the galloping, shooting was very difficult.
But Lu Bu's whole set of movements was smooth and smooth, and even the most difficult thing of aiming and releasing the arrow only took two breaths.
The golden feather arrow turned into a white arrow, accurately found Ma Zhong in the chaotic crowd, and passed through his throat.
Seeing Ma Zhong fall to the ground, Lu Bu snorted arrogantly, "Let you shoot me!"
Then he pulled up Fang Tian's painted halberd and followed the army towards the city.
Seeing Lu Bu's army swarming up the pontoon bridge, the defenders at the city gate finally reacted and fired arrows downwards. When they got close, they picked up rolling stones and smashed them down.
"Thunderbolt Chariot! Quick, start moving!" Liu Ye was proficient in the Six Arts of a Gentleman, and was good at horseback riding, archery and swordsmanship. However, charging into battle was obviously not his strong point, so he immediately jumped to ask his own people to fight back.
Squeak~Boom!
The jar in the bamboo basket of the Thunderbolt Car flew towards the city gate.
Bang bang bang~
The jar shattered on the ground, and Jiangdong's disciples reflexively avoided it, causing quite a commotion.
But what made them dumbfounded was that all these jars were empty, with no tung oil in them at all.
Wuhu, I was fooled.
At this point, everyone understood what happened. Their lord was deceived by the person opposite.
Thieves are hateful and their hearts are to be punished.
If you knew that these were all false, why open the city? As long as you guard the city gate, Lu Bu and his ten thousand people would have no chance to attack, but right now.
Without any time to think about it, the soldiers quickly adjusted their formation and began to continue firing arrows.
However, the soldiers of the Lu army who had rushed into the city gate had already begun to pour into the city gate, and the sounds of fighting began to collide on the horse path.
It’s true that heifers don’t give birth to calves, so awesome! Witnessing Lu Bu crushing Sun Ce's generals, Lin Mo felt emotional, especially the last blow, which was clearly insulting. Don't you like flying kicks? I will end you in the wrong way.
The father-in-law is also very crazy, but his madness seems to be different from Guan Yu's.
This is probably similar to the way later generations of scholars despise academic masters. You got 99 points in the exam because you only have 99 points in strength. I got 100 points in the exam because I only got 100 points in the paper. It doesn’t mean that the gap between you and me is only 100 points. That one point.
But what Lu Bu did in the end left Lin Mo with a black eye. With his archery skills of shooting halberds from the gate, he could definitely kill Sun Ce in the chaos. How could he aim at an inconspicuous archer?
Sure enough, my father-in-law's Qi-nourishing skills were still a bit poor. Lin Mo said helplessly: "Where is the archer from? Let's just shoot a cold arrow. You are still addicted. If you mess with my father-in-law, don't you think you have a long life?"
The army has already rushed into Guangling City. With our own land warfare strength, it is no exaggeration to say that we can crush Jiangdong. The three thousand cavalry alone are enough to kill more than 10,000 Sun Ce and defeat him.
It seems that the general trend has been decided.
"The troops here are in chaos. Let's move closer to the headquarters of the Chinese army." After Lu Lingqi said this, Lin Mo realized that there was no one around anymore. Even the sergeant in charge of throwing in the Thunderbolt car rushed forward with a knife.
In the era of military merit system, if you want to change your fate against the odds, you can only rely on killing the enemy on the battlefield. With such a great opportunity like today, they naturally don't want to miss it.
However, there will be special guards at the Central Military Office, not many, maybe one or two hundred people.
This is a belief. As long as the big banner does not fall, the soldiers will know that the Chinese army is still there and they can still fight to the death.
Therefore, there are often feats of beheading generals, seizing flags, and cutting down large banners to chill the morale of the army.
"Have you ever gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy?" Lin Mo looked at the tragic scene of fighting at the gate of the city. He no longer had the initial feeling of stomach acid in his heart, but it was not enough to go to the city to kill the enemy.
"No."
Lu Lingqi shook her head slightly disappointed, "My father never let me go to the battlefield. During the battle in Puyang, the troops were in critical condition, so my father only asked me to protect my mother and Xiao Niang and their retreat.
It seems like I practice martial arts just to protect my family.
In fact, every time my father goes to the battlefield, I hope that I can help. "
It can be seen that Lu Lingqi has the heart to be a general.
Perhaps, she just wanted to be a daughter and share her father's worries.
"Otherwise, are you going to fight in now?" Lin Mo turned to look at her.
Lu Lingqi still shook her head, "Father said that my mission is to protect you."
At the end, she added: "One day you no longer need my protection by your side, then I will also go to the battlefield."
No matter how I heard this, I felt like I was being taken care of.
Lin Mo smiled bitterly, "Actually, I practice swordsmanship and shooting skills every day."
This is the truth. When he was in Pengcheng, Lin Mo took this matter more seriously. Later, Cao Cao's messenger came to his door, which had a great impact on him.
If the other party really wanted to kill him at that time, he would probably have already died.
So since that day, Lin Mo has changed from being serious about practicing martial arts to working hard. As for whether it has any effect, there is no way to verify.
Neither of them was talking, they were staring at the city gate seriously, looking forward to the end of this battle soon.
After entering the city, Lu Bu led his cavalry and charged into the city.
During this process, Jiangdong soldiers kept coming out from the houses on both sides to shoot arrows at them.
Judging from the number, it is obviously not an ambush, otherwise there should be corresponding spearmen.
If a toad doesn't bite, it will disgust you. There are not many crossbowmen, but in the long streets, there are almost all crossbowmen shooting arrows on the houses. The soldiers are constantly frustrated and their speed has also slowed down.
We can only let the infantry behind us keep climbing up to clean up.
"The soldiers are fighting bloody battles. Do you want me to abandon the city and flee?" After running all the way from the west gate to the east gate, Sun Ce finally came to his senses and stopped quickly.
"My lord, when you were fighting Lu Bu just now, I had the army withdraw from the east gate. Those who are left in the city to fight to the death are all the soldiers we brought from Yuzhang. They are either the only son or have brothers if their parents are here. , or there is no wife or children at home!”
After meeting Sun Ce's selective and devouring gaze, Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly and said: "There is no choice. Lu Bu has thousands of cavalry. The soldiers cannot outrun them with two legs, unless the lord wants everyone to be buried in Guangling City." !”
"Why do you want to use troops privately!"
Sun Ce's beard was taut, his eyes were bloodshot with anger, and he stared at Zhou Yu fiercely, "Even if you let them go a while, Lu Bu's cavalry can still catch up, do you know?"
"Bo Fu, I have discussed this matter with Gong Jin. I agree with his approach, and he has made arrangements. As long as we rush out of the city, Lu Bu will not be able to catch up!" Cheng Pu yelled.
"Uncle Cheng!"
Like a roaring tiger, Sun Ce asked loudly: "My father was surrounded by Xu Rong's army outside Xingyang City. Did he ever abandon a brother?"
Throughout his life, Sun Ce has followed his father as his example and his goal of becoming the king. He is confident that this is why he has the four counties of Jiangdong today.
If you want him to abandon the soldiers who have followed him through life and death, it would be more satisfying to kill him directly.
"If you die, you will die. What are you afraid of! If you want me to leave my soldiers and run for my life, I can't do it!!" Sun Ce, whose helmet fell off due to falling off his horse, shouted almost hysterically with disheveled hair.
Cheng Pu saw the shadow of Sun Jian in Sun Ce's body. For a moment, he felt a sour feeling in his nose. He turned away and said nothing.
Zhou Yu looked up to the sky and sighed, and said softly: "My lord, are you going to show off your anger and make your brothers unable to return to their homeland? Or should you endure the humiliation and bear the burden, lead the Jiangdong children across the river, and decide on your own? All generals will obey my lord's military orders."
Sun Ce was in a daze for a moment and looked around through his messy hair. How could these soldiers die here and still have family business in Jiangdong?
He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, "You go, I'll cut you off!"
"Ah"
Taishi Ci laughed, shook his head and said: "Is there any reason in this world for a lord to cut off his queen for a general? A man can hold a knife to his neck without frowning. Today, the general will fight to the death with the lord in this city!"
"I swear to live and die by my lord!"
"I swear to live and die by my lord!"
"I swear to live and die by my lord!"
All around, the soldiers from Jiangdong raised their swords and shouted with their necks thickened.
At this moment, everyone's faces showed determination.
But Sun Ce's vision slowly became blurry.
You are the best soldiers in the world, but it was my incompetence that led you to death.
Bo Fu, as a master, you are not afraid of death, but you should not talk about life and death lightly.
Sun Ce always thought that the words his father held his hand before he died were telling him not to show off his courage on the battlefield.
Today, he understood that the Jiangdong children looked down upon death, but as the master, he should let them live.
He turned the horse's head, pulled out the sword from his waist with his right hand, and held the sword body with his left hand. After struggling to pull it out, his palm was dripping with blood. "I, Sun Ce, swear in blood today that I will avenge this in the future!"
After saying this, he clenched his fists and slowly rode out.
Behind him, hundreds of people followed silently.
At the gate of the city, the defenders who watched Sun Ce and others leave felt tragic and reluctant, but mostly happy. They looked at each other and smiled, with tears in their eyes.
"Where's Uncle Huang? Why can't I see Uncle Huang?" Sun Ce reacted only after the city gate was closed behind him.
"The old general has gone to the south gate. He has probably left the city by now. Let's meet at the ferry." Zhou Yu said this calmly, but Cheng Pu and Tai Shici knew that his heart should be torn apart inch by inch.
Huang Gongfu said that he could not come back.
This is the price.
The price of a defeat.
Soon, Lu Bu led a group of cavalry to the gate of the west gate. The scene before him made him frown.
The city gate was closed, and the door was filled with Jiangdong soldiers holding Huanshou swords.
What's going on? The city has been destroyed. They should run for their lives.
Soon Lu Bu made a judgment in his mind. I followed Sun Ce's escape route and chased him here. He must have escaped from the west gate. So, these people in front of me should be the dead soldiers of the Sun family who stayed to break up the family.
He didn't even bother to shout for surrender. He waved his hand and shouted: "Crossbowman!"
Behind him, a group of sergeants holding stiff bows formed an array.
Before they could release their arrows, dozens of people suddenly appeared from the city gate and dropped the prepared burning jars of tung oil. Suddenly, there was a sea of fire in front of them.
More than a dozen crossbowmen were burned directly because they failed to dodge in time. The heart-rending screams were filled with the disgusting smell of burnt meat, and the scorching air waves forced the war horses to retreat continuously.
When escaping, arranging an ambush to cut off the rear was a common tactic. Lu Bu was not only not angry, but also a little happy in his heart, which proved that he was going the right way.
Most of the Jiangdong soldiers are infantry, and there are only a few hundred Huainan Army cavalry. If you run for an hour first, I won't have time to catch up.
"Boping!"
Lu Bu roared, and Gao Bian, knowingly, led the trapped camp from the alleyway around the line of fire and rushed to the city gate.
"Push!" The defenders at the gate of the city pushed the prepared rolling stones and wood down the stairs. Thanks to the heavy armored infantry like Zhen camp, who had a high degree of tacit understanding, they immediately formed a row and pushed the iron shields down. Pushing forward with all his strength, he was able to withstand the first wave of rolling stones with his numerical advantage.
As the rolling stones continue to push down, even if they are trapped in the camp, they have to retreat. This way, it is obvious that they do not intend to leave alive.
Seeing this, Lu Bu pulled the reins, and the red rabbit horse ran wildly. He jumped over the tongues of flames that were taller than a man and went straight to the city gate, waving the Fangtian painted halberd, trying to kill through the city gate with his own strength.
The city gate is not narrow, it is two feet wide. Lu Bu painted a picture of a tiger dancing with a halberd in the sky. The cold light flashed, and the blood mist filled the air. Many people didn't even have time to raise their swords to resist, and their throats were split open, and blood flowed out. As noted.
In the narrow terrain, the Red Rabbit Horse could not gallop to show its advantages, but it had become quite intelligent after following Lu Bu for many years. When someone approached from behind, Lu Bu didn't need to swing his halberd, just kicked him directly in the back, and nailed the horseshoe, and he was hit. The person who was kicked suffered a dent in his chest and fell to the ground vomiting blood.
"Stop blocking me!" Lu Bu is not a murderous person, and the hundred or ten people at the gate of the city cannot stand the harvest of his Fang Tian Hua Ji.
However, these disciple soldiers were determined to fight to the death, marching forward one after another.
Finally, less than twenty people were killed. They picked up the tung oil altar prepared by the city gate and threw it at Lu Bu. Red Tuma dodged spiritually and was once again forced back by the tongue of fire.
Bearing the heat wave of dozens of degrees, they each looked at death as if they were going home. Gritting their teeth, they smashed the last ten tung oil altars against the city gate behind them.
In the fire, twenty people held hands and sang in unison: "The wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong men will never return."
Even Lu Bu was stunned by this scene. Jiang Dongjun was so admirable.
The fire lines on the ground will naturally be extinguished when the tung oil burns out. However, the city gates are all made of camphor wood that is a hundred years old. Pouring tung oil on them can burn for several days. It is too late to put out the fire now.
"Boping, you lead a group of cavalry to chase them out from the south gate. I will lead a group to kill them from the north gate. Most of them are infantry and they can't run far!"
"Here!"
