Chapter 13
Huang Zhong burst into a shout, and the big ring knife hand rose and fell, slashing down an enemy soldier in front of him.
At this time, Huang Zhong's armor was stained with blood, and he was full of murderous aura, like a god of war, and he was facing a steady stream of Zhou soldiers.
It was Lü Meng, the vanguard of Zhou Yu, who led the Zhou army to attack the city.
Lu Meng held a steel knife in his hand, dressed as an ordinary soldier, and at this time he had led more than a hundred soldiers to firmly occupy a corner of Wuchang City.
Behind Lu Meng, more soldiers of Zhou were climbing up the ladder.
Wuchang City has reached the most dangerous moment, and the fighting between the two sides has become more tragic.
If the enemy army is not repelled as soon as possible, Wuchang City is likely to fall.
The blood has stained the city, and the soldiers who have fallen to the ground can be seen everywhere, there are Jiangxia soldiers and Jiangdong soldiers, and no one knows whether they are dead or alive.
Whether it is Lu Meng or Huang Zhong, they are not well-known now, but as generals, they are still keenly aware of each other's identity.
Shoot the man first and shoot the horse first, capture the thief and capture the king first!
As long as the opposing general is dead, his soldiers will naturally be defeated.
Seeing Huang Zhong's temples white, Lu Meng felt that this veteran was easy to deal with, and his eyes suddenly had a murderous intent, and the steel knife turned into cold light and slashed out.
Huang Zhong is a veteran of a hundred battles, and the big ring knife is horizontally in front of his chest, and in the crisp sound of gold and iron, Lu Meng was shocked back several steps.
Lu Mengdeng's eyes widened, and the stinging pain from the tiger's mouth made him gasp, and the steel knife in his hand almost flew out of his hand.
"This veteran is so powerful!" Lu Meng couldn't help but show surprise.
"Yellow-haired child, watch me take your head!"
Huang Zhong let out a loud shout, and immediately stepped forward to fight with Lu Meng, and fought for more than a dozen rounds in an instant.
But at this critical moment, something happened in the Zhou army camp.
Zhou Yu was originally staring at the battle situation ahead, and seeing that Lu Meng had already gained a firm foothold in the city, and more and more soldiers climbed to the head of Wuchang City, he knew that he had won half of this siege battle.
All that's left to do is to take Wuchang City in one go!
"Pass the order! All the soldiers will attack Wuchang City with all their might, and within half an hour, I will take this city!" Zhou Yu said coldly.
"Whew!" Dong Xi and Zhu Zhi took the order, ordered their soldiers and horses, and prepared to participate in the siege battle.
But at this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly felt that the ground under his feet seemed to be shaking slightly, and the deafening drum sound seemed to be faintly mixed with the sound of horses' hooves.
Zhou Yu has been riding horses for many years, and he is very familiar with the sound of horses' hooves, and it is impossible to hear it wrong.
"What's the matter, where did the sound of horses' hooves come from?" Zhou Yu frowned and immediately asked.
"The sound of horses' hooves?" Ling Tong on the side was stunned for a moment, and then he also felt the vibration of the ground, and this tremor became clearer and clearer.
"Kill!".
Just when Zhou Yu and the others were surprised, a shout of killing that resounded through the sky instantly exploded in everyone's ears.
I saw that behind the camp of the Zhou army, a galloping cavalry was sweeping over.
Seeing this scene, all the Zhou soldiers were stunned, and a question popped up in their minds at the same time: How can there be an army behind their own barracks?
With the billowing smoke and dust, Gan Ning led two thousand five elite cavalry and rushed into the camp of the Zhou army unstoppably, like a knife cutting tofu, and instantly scattered the formation of the Zhou army.
Before the spread of thermal weapons, cavalry had a natural advantage over infantry.
The powerful impact of the cavalry charge is difficult to resist with manpower alone.
At this moment, not to mention Sergeant Zhou, even Zhou Yu himself was stunned in an instant.
But Gan Ning would not give the Zhou army a stunned effort, two thousand elite cavalry as if into a no-man's land, iron hooves fiercely trampled on the Zhou army camp, many Zhou soldiers because they could not dodge, instantly died under the horses' hooves.
The steel knife in his hand was even more merciless, and when the knife fell, I don't know how many people were cut to the ground.
All this came too suddenly, and many Zhou soldiers were stupid, but after all, someone reacted, and a terrible shout sounded in the Zhou army camp.
"Enemy attack!".
Although some people came back to their senses, in the face of the impact of these two thousand and five cavalry, the Zhou soldiers could not make any resistance at all.
The Zhou soldiers didn't know how many people there were on the other side, but when they saw that the local cavalry was like a rolling torrent, it seemed that there were tens of thousands of people, and most of the Zhou soldiers panicked at this time.
Sneak attack is a double-edged sword, if you are not careful, you may fall into the ambush of the other party.
However, if the sneak attack is successful, the damage inflicted on the enemy army is immeasurable.
"Dong Xi, Zhu Zhi, Ling Tong, immediately pacify the soldiers and form a formation to resist the enemy army!"
Zhou Yu rarely lost his demeanor, he didn't have time to think too much, and his face changed drastically and he roared.
As the Grand Governor, he knew very well that if he could not stabilize the morale of the army as soon as possible, he would be greeted with a crushing defeat.
At this moment, Zhou Yu had only one thought in his mind, that is, how could there be such a fierce army behind him?
The spies clearly reported that neither the soldiers and horses of Xiakou nor Xiling moved, and no naval army passed by the river.
"When the hell is it?" Zhou Yu clenched his fists, his eyes splitting.
Such a large group of centaurs can unknowingly go around behind themselves to launch a surprise attack!
How the hell is this done?
At this time, Dong Xi, Zhu Zhi, and Ling Tong received Zhou Yu's order and began to organize soldiers to resist the enemy army as soon as possible.
But Gan Ning will not give them this opportunity, and Liu Jue will not give them this opportunity.
Just when Gan Ning led the cavalry to rush into the Zhou army camp and disrupt the Zhou army's formation, Liu Jue, who was closely behind, also led two thousand elite infantry to start charging.
It was like a flock of tigers rushing into the flock of sheep and rampage in the camp of the Zhou army, and all the Zhou soldiers who appeared in them were cut to the ground by them.
This was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The soldiers of the Zhou army were already in a mess, but at this moment, they completely collapsed, and a large number of soldiers began to flee, even if Dong Xun and others killed a few, it would not have much effect.
Seeing that the situation was very good, Liu Jue immediately raised his arms and shouted: "Soldiers, crush the Jiangdong Army in one go, if you cut off Zhou Yu's head, this general will be rewarded!"
There will be brave men under the heavy reward!
What's more, for these 5,000 elite soldiers, Liu Jue's orders are like holy decrees, and they will carry them out without caring about their own lives.
The five thousand elite soldiers began to divide into small groups, scattered and rushed to kill, and slashed the Zhou soldiers in front of them without mercy.
The entire camp of the Zhou army was completely chaotic, and all kinds of screams and wails were endless.
