Chapter 494 Zhou Yu's Guess, Reinforcements

After the Red Blood Knife came into contact with Huang Zhong's blood, it suddenly began to change. The original bright red blood color began to fade, and a strange golden color began to occupy the blade of the Red Blood Knife.

The color change started from the tip of the knife and gradually spread downward. The strange golden color was constantly engulfing the bright red blood color, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

Looking at this scene, even a fool would know that the other party had used some trump card. The golden color was too strange.

Ordinary golden colors are glittering and look peaceful, but the golden color of the Red Blood Knife is different. The golden color seems to cover the red color, and the original bright red blade can be faintly seen through the golden color.

"I didn't expect that the first time I fully released the Red Blood Knife after being promoted to a famous general was because of you guys."

Huang Zhong sat on the horse with a blank expression, with some golden light in his eyes. The whole person's temperament has undergone a great transformation, which is shocking.

Zhou Yu's face was solemn. Huang Zhong's state was a little too unusual, especially the red blood knife flashing with strange golden color, and the golden light in Huang Zhong's eyes, which made Zhou Yu a little uneasy.

Huang Gai, on the other hand, was excited. He had just regained his confidence and was eager to take action and take down Huang Zhong.

"Are you not afraid of slipping your tongue when you brag? Just now, you were almost smashed in the head by my iron whip. How come the commander-in-chief stabbed your brain instead of your chest? Your head is on your chest?"

Huang Gai showed his language charm to the fullest, trying to disturb Huang Zhong psychologically again, so that Huang Zhong could not concentrate on dealing with the two of them.

"Gong Fu, be careful, Huang Zhong seems to have changed."

Zhou Yu said softly to Huang Gai on the side. He could see that in order to save face, Huang Gai was basically on the verge of madness and was about to evolve in the direction of Gan Ning.

But Gan Ning was able to control himself at critical moments every time, but Huang Gai was not necessarily. After all, Huang Gai had never had such a thing happen to him before.

"General, what are you careful about? Be careful not to smash his head with an iron whip? What's the same or different? With the elixir given by the clan leader, Zhao Yun will definitely lose to us, not to mention Huang Zhong!"

Huang Gai's excited voice was trembling. He was obviously in a special state now. I'm afraid that only by waiting for the end of this battle, or directly solving Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong in this battle, Huang Gai would naturally not be bothered and would not fall into the current state again.

Zhou Yu could find Huang Gai's abnormality, and Huang Zhong could naturally find it too. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a gleam of light shot out of his eyes. Then he gently squeezed his legs on the horse's belly, and the prairie fire instantly flew out like an arrow from a string, rushing straight towards Huang Gai.

"Hahaha, come on!"

Huang Gai had no intention of retreating, and immediately raised his iron whip to meet Huang Zhong.

The sound of the iron whip hitting the red blood knife rang out. It was not like the sound of metal and stone colliding before. There was only a rumbling drum sound, and nothing could be heard at all.

After just one encounter, Huang Gai was shocked by Huang Zhong's blow and his palm was numb. Only in this way, his iron whip could not withstand the pressure and a crack had appeared on it. If he continued to fight in this way, it would probably be broken within five moves.

As Huang Gai expected, after only four strikes, the iron whip in his hand shattered with a bang. Zhou Yu, who was behind Huang Gai, immediately stepped forward and took over Huang Gai's position to resist Huang Zhong.

Although the general was not as heavy as the iron whip, it was better in terms of material and was hard enough. After withstanding Huang Zhong's attacks several times, Zhou Yu also felt great pressure and was surprised.

They improved greatly after taking the elixir, but Huang Zhong's Red Blood Sword improved almost as much as them. The strange golden sword seemed to come alive in Huang Zhong's hand at this moment, with whistling sounds and unparalleled power every time it was swung.

Although Zhou Yu's swordsmanship was exquisite, he could only barely hold on in the face of Huang Zhong's storm-like attack. Every time the swords crossed, Zhou Yu felt his arms numb, as if even his bones were shaking.

After all, the sword is not suitable for fighting on the battlefield, and Zhou Yu, a Confucian general, is not a pure military general. Although he has been among the famous generals for a long time, his combat power is not much different from that of Huang Gai, who has just been promoted. At best, he can only suppress Huang Gai. If there is no support from the elixir, he and Huang Gai can't resist Huang Zhong now.

Huang Gai couldn't help cursing at the side. This iron whip was not the one he had been using before. It was given to him by a deputy general under him before the army set out for the battlefield. He said it was made of the best materials. When Huang Gai got it, he felt that the iron whip was much heavier, so he naturally didn't doubt it. He chose to use this new whip instead of his old friend when he went to the battlefield.

Now thinking about it again, Huang Gai also reacted. The deputy general was probably Liu Bei's background. He used an ordinary iron whip to fool him and made him lose on the battlefield.

"Wait, I will kill you when I go back!"

In fact, Huang Gai really criticized the deputy general. He was just simply used by others. He originally wanted to use this iron whip to exchange for a smooth career, but he never thought that it would become his death warrant.

Huang Gai is now in an embarrassing situation. He can't join the battle now because he has no weapons. When joining the battle, he can't let him pick up the sword with bare hands. Huang Zhong's sharp sword energy, let alone catching the sword with bare hands, uses weapons. It's hard to resist.

It is unrealistic for him to go get the weapons. The weapons are placed at the border of Jiangxia County. Even if he rushes at full speed, it will take two or three hours to go back and forth. After two or three hours, Zhou Yu and Gan Ning are still alive. , I don’t know how this battle will turn out, and what’s the use of the weapons he brought.

"Public prosecution, what are you doing standing there in a daze?"

While Zhou Yu struggled to resist Huang Zhong's offensive, he turned around and saw Huang Gai standing there, as if thinking about something. This made him furious. He was fighting desperately here, but Huang Gai was in a daze. . Huang Gai was even more mute when he ate Coptis chinensis and could not express the pain. The taste was even worse than eating a dead fly.

Huang Gai had no choice but to pick a cavalryman who looked like a general and rushed forward. When the captain saw Huang Gai coming towards him unarmed, his face was full of solemnity. The gap between them and the famous general was like a mayfly in the sky. It's definitely not something that can be compensated by the lack of a weapon.

But the cavalryman still did not flinch, and there was no fear on his face. He threw the body on his spear to the ground, then raised his spear and began to charge towards Huang Gai.

Of course, there was no need to think about the result. He was punched in the heart by Huang Gai. The armor at the heart was dented, and the armor fragments were shattered and pierced into his body. At the last moment of his life, the captain pulled out a dagger from his waist. , stabbed the opponent with all his strength, but was interrupted by Huang Gai's blow and his arm.

Huang Gai picked up the captain's spear and attacked Huang Zhong again. From the beginning to the end, he never looked at the captain again. Blood foam kept pouring out of the captain's mouth, and a trace of emotion finally appeared in his eyes. Fear, that is the instinctive fear of death.

When Zhou Yu saw Huang Gai actually killing a school captain, he was so angry that he just wanted to shout, but Huang Zhong seized the opportunity. Huang Gai was not around, and Zhou Yu was also distracted. This is a rare occasion. When Huang Zhong encountered a fighter, he shouted loudly, and the power of the sword increased again. The golden sword light was as dazzling as the scorching sun. With one swing of the sword, Zhou Yu was knocked back dozens of feet.

Zhou Yu was shocked because after Huang Zhong gained the upper hand with one blow, he immediately moved his horse forward to take advantage of this rare opportunity to capture the city for their army. Zhou Yu was the governor of Jiangdong, and he was considered to be under one person in Jiangdong. Sun Ce, the eldest son of Sun Jian, has a close relationship with Zhou Yu. Sun Quan is even half of Zhou Yu's student. He is also the commander-in-chief of the Jiangxia battle. If Huang Zhong can kill Zhou Yu at this time, the impact will be huge. Just imagine.

However, just when Huang Zhong was about to succeed, Huang Gai rejoined the battle with a decent weapon. It's funny to say that his iron whip might not be as good as the long weapon he snatched from the school captain. The spear is strong. ,

"Grand Governor, I've frightened you."

Huang Gai said in a deep voice, Zhou Yu's situation just now could be said to be on the line between life and death. If he had been slower, maybe Zhou Yu would really be killed by Huang Zhong here.

Zhou Yu shook his head.

"It doesn't matter."

Although he said it was okay, Zhou Yu's heavy expression said everything.

Huang Gai was secretly glad that it was best if Zhou Yu was fine. If something went wrong, he would probably be the biggest sinner. At the same time, he also had a deeper understanding of Huang Zhong's strength.

With only a golden demon sword, they were able to turn defeat into victory. They fought against him and Zhou Yu alone, and they took the elixir to increase their strength. At the most terrifying time, when the two of them joined forces, they could only defend. , being hampered everywhere, let alone defeating Huang Zhong, even resisting Huang Zhong's attack seemed extremely difficult.

"Grand Governor, procrastinating like this is not an option. Sooner or later we will be unable to hold on. Is there any way to defeat him?"

Huang Gai asked in a low voice. He and Zhou Yu had a very good relationship in private. Zhou Yu had always acted as a think tank and he was responsible for execution. Now he also placed his hopes on Zhou Yu.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu just smiled slightly.

"Of course there is a way, aren't we doing it now?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Just drag it on like this. Do you still remember what Xingba said before we took the elixir?"

The two of them said as they jointly faced Huang Zhong, who was charging towards him. After a joint attack, both sides retreated several feet away.

"What are you talking about? Give me a knife!"

Huang Zhong knew that the two were discussing how to deal with him, so naturally he would not let the two of them think so preoccupiedly and launched another attack. Zhou Yu and Huang Hai joined forces to fight against the enemy. They were very close to each other and were still discussing how to deal with Huang Zhong.

"Remember, Xingba seems to have said that he will capture Jiangxia County within three hours."

"Then do you know why Xingba said that?"

Huang Gai was immediately stopped by Zhou Yu's question, and Zhou Yu immediately smiled.

"I guess that the effect of this elixir can only last for three hours at most. After three hours, the effect of the elixir will disappear. By then, it may have other effects, and it may even reduce our combat power. maybe."

After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Huang Gai's face was uncertain, but at the same time he did not forget to fight against Huang Zhong. He thrust out a spear and briefly blocked Huang Zhong's offensive.

"Then what does this have to do with the defeat of Huang Zhong?"

"Our strength improvement has limits, so Huang Zhong will definitely have limits too, and the improvement is so great that it will probably take much less time than ours, and the other effects produced by that time will definitely be greater. We just need to drag it out until his magic sword turns red again."

After being enlightened by Zhou Yu's words, Huang Gai suddenly became clear-headed, and his eyes sparkled.

"In other words, the one who should be anxious is not us, but Huang Zhong!"

Zhou Yu nodded, as a response to Huang Gai's guess, and Huang Gai immediately felt like he had been injected with chicken blood.

"Hahaha, Huang Zhong, take your grandfather's spear!"

Huang Gai laughed and waved his spear to attack Huang Zhong.

Seeing this, Huang Zhong curled his lips with a sneer, waved the Red Blood Sword, the sword light flashed, and the golden light filled the sky, and he beat Huang Gai back with another blow.

At this moment, a burst of rapid horse hoof sounds came from far away. It was not conspicuous in the battlefield full of shouts and killings, but the few people present were already famous generals and were no longer ordinary people. This burst of rapid horse hoof sounds was a little harsh in their ears.

The armies were already fighting together. At this time, there was still such a loud sound of horse hooves, which must mean that other armies had joined the war.

The five people stopped swinging their weapons tacitly and turned their heads to look at the same time. They saw a cavalry rushing like a black torrent and joining the battlefield. Wherever they went, they immediately cleared out a no-man's restricted area.

Zhou Yu was delighted. The other party was wearing a helmet and armor. Although he did not recognize whose subordinates they were, the other party had just joined the battlefield and started fighting with Liu Bei's subordinates. The answer was obvious. It was either their Jiangdong or Cao Cao's subordinates.

Zhao Yun's eyes were sharp and his brows were slightly frowned. The battlefield on the east wall was already stretched due to the presence of the Wu Nan Army. Suddenly, another army that was as strong as the Wu Nan Army appeared. The outcome of this battle would become unpredictable. Moreover, Zhao Yun knew that they had no reinforcements. The people here were all the troops they could mobilize.

Therefore, he and Huang Zhong were the only variables that could determine this war. Their army was far less than that of the other side. They had relied on their own higher characteristic bonuses to fight the enemy. As a result, after teaching again, the other side's characteristic bonuses were not much weaker than theirs. During this period, not only they were improving themselves, but Jiangdong's improvement was also huge.

Looking at this scene, Huang Zhong's eyes flashed with determination. If this continued, Jiangxia County would be dragged into the quagmire. They could not afford to be dragged like this. You know, the biggest battlefield was still on the border of Yanzhou and Jingzhou. They would not have more reinforcements here.
