Chapter 352: End of Life, Cruelty of War
"It's scary, it's so scary, it's so scary! Before Mr. Wolong came out of the mountain, Liu Caoxie was attacked from both sides by Cao Zhonger and Sun Menghu. He was attacked from both sides. As a result, after Liu Caoxie invited Mr. Wolong out of the mountain, he punched Cao Zhonger and kicked Sun. The tiger also brought Liu Zhongdi into the situation, and single-handedly disrupted the entire Central Plains. "
"Watching the sky at night is so perverted! Not only can we see that Zhao Yun and Third Master are still alive, but we can also see that Liu Zhongdi is about to die. He actually planned how to annex Liu Zhongdi's Jingzhou. It's still a conspiracy. , so awesome!”
"In this battle, Sun Menghu's family fortune was almost wiped out. Yangzhou threw more than half of his army into it at once, as did Cao Zhonger in the north, the Royal Forest Army and the Imperial Guard. In the end They were still beaten back to their hometown. After this battle, the two of them could not recover at all within a few months. In these few months, Liu Caoxiao was enough to deal with them one by one. By then, Liu Caoxiao would be the only one in the family. , coupled with Liu Caoxiao’s status as the descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, I feel that Liu Caoxiao will directly ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in the next step!”
"It's all the result of Mr. Wolong's planning alone. He took advantage of everyone on Liu Caoxiao's side and utilized the mechanism. Xi Zhicai Fa Zheng asked Mr. Wolong to send them to guard various military towns and cities. , I am afraid that the people under my command will have the intention of rebellion again. "
"Liu Caoxie's subordinates are either elite soldiers or generals, or they are strategists and poisonous warriors. This is too strong. How can we, Sun Menghu, survive? The plan must weaken Liu Caoxie, otherwise there will be no more fun."
Not only were barrages flying in Gu Rubing and Sun Jian's live broadcast room, but Liu Biao's live broadcast room, where Zhuge Liang concluded that he would not live long, was also filled with barrages.
"Liu Zhongdi, Liu Zhongdi, Mr. Wolong over at Liu Caoxiao has been saying that you don't have long to live. How are you? Are you overindulging? Are you overdrafted? Do you want Shenbao? I'll send you a mailbox."
"Liu Zangdi, tell me about you. Ever since you entered the game, you have been either farming or "farming". The crops in the fields have grown, but the seeds you planted on your lovely wives and concubines have not yet been harvested." It’s sprouting.”
"You won't be the first person to be cursed to death in this game."
"I think Liu Zhongdi looks pretty good, and he doesn't look like a short-lived man. Why was he sentenced to death?"
They only discussed the current situation and the future pattern with Gu Rubing and Sun Jian in the live broadcast room, but almost all of Liu Biao's live broadcast room was here to complain about the news of Liu Biao's death.
Liu Biao, who has been criticized wildly by netizens, is currently studying how to capture Nanchang County, the seat of Yuzhang County. His counselors Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, and military generals Huang Zhong, Huang Zu, Wenpin, etc. are all gathered. In one day, they launched three attacks on Nanchang City, but all failed and suffered heavy losses.
"Everyone, do you have any good ideas to attack Nanchang County?"
Liu Biao was sitting in the main seat, looking a little uncomfortable. He had been feeling itchy on his back for the past few days. No matter how he scratched it, it didn't help. Bear with it.
"Nanchang County is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the opponent has a lot of boulders and rolling logs in reserve. It is very difficult to attack the city tower. If you want to use catapults and giant crossbows to attack the city, you will have to face Jiangdong General Gan Ning after entering the city. No matter which method of attack the cavalry leads, it is not the best strategy for us. "
Kuai Liang's face was solemn. He had suffered considerable losses when attacking several other military towns in Yuzhang County before. Now he has suffered a lot in Nanchang County and Gu Yong. If this delay continues, there will be hundreds of disadvantages and no benefits.
"My lord, Zirou, there is no need to worry. Since I am already here, there is no need for you to worry anymore."
The person who spoke was an old general with white hair and beard named Huang Zu. He and Changsha Zhonglang General Huang Zhong were from the same clan. In terms of seniority, he was Huang Zhong's uncle and served as the prefect of Jiangxia. , it was here that Zhao Yun borrowed five catapults and twenty giant crossbows from Huang Zu.
He is the strongest general under Liu Biao. Since he became the governor of Jiangxia, he has resisted Sun Jian's troops' attacks on Jiangxia many times and firmly guarded the east gate of Jingzhou. Changsha in the southeast is guarded by Zhonglang General Huang Zhong. Both of them are Liu Biao's capable general.
"Chengyan, do you have any plans?"
Liu Biao asked, the itching on his back becoming more and more unbearable.
"There is no plan, just a rat from Jiangdong. Wait until tomorrow and I will lead an army to attack Nanchang County and capture Nanchang within one day!"
Huang Zu was domineering. He had been fighting against Jiangdong all year round. He was well aware of the nature of Jiangdong's subordinates and had repeatedly thwarted Sun Jian's plot to merge with Jingzhou. This kind of strength was not something to be said casually.
Huang Zhong wanted to speak at the side, but saw Liu Biao wave his hand.
"That's very good. Tomorrow, Chengyan will serve as the commander-in-chief of the three armies and lead the army to attack Nanchang County. Do you have any objections?"
Liu Biao didn't give anyone a chance to speak.
"If not, then let's end it here. Zirou, please tell Chengyan our current situation and make a plan for tomorrow. You two are fully responsible."
After saying that, Liu Biao walked out of the meeting hall without looking back. As soon as Liu Biao walked out of the meeting hall, he wanted to take off all his clothes and scratch his body. It was so itchy, not just on the surface, but the kind that goes deep into the flesh. itch.
"Come on, come on, come and scratch my back."
Liu Biao quickly walked into the concubine's room and lay down on the bed without any explanation. The concubine was a little stunned when she saw this sudden scene. Before she could react, she heard Liu Biao yelling angrily.
"Why don't you hurry up? What are you doing standing still!"
"Huh? Oh, okay sir."
The concubine finally came to his senses and quickly started to scratch Liu Biao's back. However, Liu Biao still felt uncomfortable despite his clothes, so he immediately took off his clothes, exposing his whole back, and the concubine continued to scratch his back.
"Harder!"
Liu Biao lay on the bed and said impatiently. The concubine quickly used force, fearing that she might offend Liu Biao in some way and make him unhappy.
"Harder!"
Liu Biao's tone became even more impatient, and the concubine had to use her nails instead of her fingers.
"Harder! Harder!"
Liu Biao said angrily, and the concubine had no choice but to be cruel and use her nails to scratch Liu Biao's back.
"I told you to use your fucking strength, are you deaf?"
Liu Biao roared and knocked his concubine to the ground.
"You can't even fucking scratch it?"
Liu Biao sat by the bed, his eyes full of anger. The concubine was so frightened that she fell to her knees on the ground and kept kowtowing.
"Master, please forgive me, Master, please forgive me!"
The concubine kept kowtowing, and Liu Biao looked at her helplessly, put on his clothes and walked out of the room. If there was a mirror here, Liu Biao would be able to see that his back was already red and ferocious through the mirror. The mark scratched by his fingernails seemed like a gorgeous flower blooming on Liu Biao's back.
Chengdejun Town, Jiujiang County, is a huge Shura purgatory. The battle is still going on at this moment. Because the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban reserve force is lower than that of the opponent, the battle quickly changed from an even match at the beginning to Gu Rubing's side starting to lose ground. .
After Zhao Yun and the others circled the entire Chengde Army Town, they came directly behind Sun Jian and the others. They had the characteristics of Gu Ru Bingwu, who was the destiny, and always maintained sufficient physical strength, but their war horses were different. It has been several hours without a break, and even the top BMW cannot hold up under such high-intensity use.
Zhao Yun looked at the exhausted horses under the soldiers' crotches, and drove his horses to Zhang Fei's side.
"Brother, the soldiers' horses are on the verge of death and can no longer withstand the high-intensity charge."
Zhang Fei also frowned when he heard this. The current situation is not optimistic. Sun Jian's tribe is now very high-spirited and their combat power is at its peak. If they don't have war horses, even if they join the battlefield, it won't be of much use. Only in a strong state can a hole be opened behind Sun Jian's team to take some of the pressure off Gu Rubing.
"Brother Zilong, what do you think?"
"Brother, I think we should let the war horses rest. It just so happens that there is still some food and grass in the German army town, which is enough for the horses to use and recover."
"That's very good. I will take the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry to the city to carry food and grass."
Zhang Fei took the remaining 600 Yanyun and eighteen cavalry and entered Cheng De from the south city gate.
The fighting on the battlefield became more and more intense. In the long battle, the negative effects on the Yellow Turban Reserves became less and less. From the 50% characteristic gain at the beginning, they now enjoy the 70% gain. Gain, and so far, the Yellow Turban reserve has dropped sharply from the initial 350,000 to less than 290,000.
Another hour later, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun's horses finally regained their strength. They led more than 20,000 cavalry around to the rear of Sun Jian's troops, while 8,000 infantry were led by Zhang Jaw and continued towards the northwest. , this time, they will launch a surprise attack from two sides at the same time.
"Brother Zilong, after this battle, I must have a good drink with you."
Before charging into the formation, Zhang Fei said with a smile, Zhao Yun cupped his hands and smiled at Zhang Fei.
"Brother invites you. Even if I can't drink, I will definitely drink until I'm extremely drunk."
The two of them stopped talking and looked at the Shura field that was rising to new heights. They both knew that those words just now were their last words, because they wanted to do something that no one had ever done before, that is, to attack from behind the enemy's rear. Start until you kill the opponent's camp and return to your own front.
Zhang Jaw led eight thousand infantrymen to the west of Sun Jian, preparing to break into the formation from Sun Jian's flank.
When everything was ready, Zhang Fei rushed out first, followed closely by Zhao Yun. After both of them rushed out, all the cavalry followed their footsteps and started this almost lifeless charge without hesitation.
"Report! Lord, a large number of cavalry have appeared from behind us! They are charging towards us!"
"Report! Lord, a large number of infantry appeared from the west of me! They are attacking us!"
After hearing the information, Sun Jian was furious and smashed the sword in his hand to the ground.
"Where are the scouts? What do the scouts do? Why is it that the enemy has already started charging and no one from the scouts has come to report?!"
The furious Sun Jian himself had forgotten that he had already sent all the scouts out to the north to keep an eye on Gu Rubing's support.
It's just that the scouts under Sun Jian and the scouts led by Taishi Ci are completely different concepts. The scouts under Sun Jian are nothing more than some cavalry with outstanding combat effectiveness, but the scouts led by Taishi Ci are composed of an assassination team and are also equipped with After seeing Zhuge Liannu, how could Sun Jian's scouts be their opponents? Taishi Ci had already cleared out all the scouts before Gu Rubing arrived.
"Quick, send troops to stop them! Don't let them rush into the camp!"
Sun Jian roared angrily, but the next moment, a sound that almost broke his eardrums sounded, followed by shouts of killing. Sun Jian knew that it was too late.
The shouts of killing on the battlefield were deafening, and the smell of blood filled the air. Zhao Yun wielded his spear, and every slash brought a crushing force to repel the enemy. Zhang Fei was the same. He used the eighteen spears in one hand to the extreme and kept clearing the enemies on the battlefield.
The intensity of the war can no longer be described in words. Soldiers on both sides held sharp swords and spears, and tried their best to stab the enemy in the fierce battle. People kept falling, and then someone fell on top of the corpses just now. Soon their corpses piled up like a mountain and blood flowed like a river.
At night, the battle that had lasted for a day and a night finally stopped temporarily. Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun succeeded in breaking through the formation and fought their way out, but only less than 2,000 cavalrymen were left. The 18 cavalrymen of Yanyun were wiped out except Zhang Fei, and even Zhang Fei's two deputy generals were killed.
In the west, only 800 of the 8,000 infantrymen led by Zhang He escaped from the siege, and they risked their lives to save Zhang He, who was already injured.
Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Zhang He, the three of them, only had 3,000 troops left in Chengde Military Town. After a fierce battle, the 350,000 Yellow Turban Army brought by Gu Rubing now had 260,000 left. Gu Rubing's side lost nearly 200,000.
On Sun Jian's side, Zhou Yu lost a total of more than 100,000 people when he attacked the city, and more than 90,000 people were lost in the battle. Among these more than 90,000 people, nearly 60,000 died under Zhang Fei's fearless charge. In addition to the 10,000 cavalry ambushed by Han Dang, Sun Jian's side lost more than 200,000 people in total.
After a total of thirteen hours of fighting, the total number of casualties on both sides added up to nearly 400,000. The 400,000 corpses were either lying in Chengde Military Town or lying on the battlefield that had just ended. The bloody smell was extremely pungent. Even the veterans who were used to fighting on the battlefield and seeing the scenes of life and death could not help but cover their mouths and noses.
On the battlefield, the military town was in a mess, filled with smoke, and the broken flags, broken weapons and scattered limbs witnessed the cruelty of this war.
Corpses piled up on the muddy battlefield. The comrades who were still talking and laughing yesterday were lying together again at this moment, just like resting together last night, but they could no longer speak and never had to get up again.
The crows, symbolizing ominousness, kept circling in the low sky, landing on the battlefield full of corpses and minced meat from time to time, picking up a piece of meat and flying away quickly.
