Chapter 691 Cao Jun Arrives
Three or five Jiangdong soldiers gathered into a small formation. One person stood in the middle, slashing left and right with a ring-shaped sword in his hand, leading the attack. There was a comrade on each side of him, and the two of them assisted the person in the middle. If the enemy If someone in the middle fights back, they will raise their leather shields to resist and cover the robes in the middle. Three or five Jiangdong soldiers will cooperate with each other tacitly, killing the defenders at the top of the city and retreating steadily.
"No, no! I can't die, my mother still relies on me to support her."
When a guard saw the corpses of Paoze lying everywhere, his legs trembled with fear. He still had no fighting spirit. He threw his weapon behind him, turned around and ran away.
As a result, he slammed into a "high wall". When he looked up, he saw a tall war supervisor staring down at him, with two cold gleams in his eyes, and the short ax in his hand shone with a sharp light.
"General Li has an order. Anyone who retreats before the battle will be killed without mercy." The supervising team said coldly.
"No, no, please!"
The deserter's legs trembled, and he fell to his knees, hugged his legs, and begged.
"kill!"
However, the war supervisor raised the short ax without mercy and chopped it down hard.
"Please don't kill me!"
The short ax fell and struck him on the chest, blood spurted out, the deserter's pleas stopped abruptly, and he fell to the ground rolling.
"good!"
Li Shu praised him and shouted to the defenders at the top of the city: "Did you see that this is the fate of running away? I will fight to the death. Drive Jiangdong's soldiers off the top of the city and our army will survive!"
When the Lujiang defenders saw that the supervising team was showing no mercy, they dared not retreat, so they had no choice but to turn around and fight with Jiangdong's army. However, more and more Jiangdong Army soldiers climbed up from the ladder. Suddenly there were more than 300 people. Three or five of them gathered in a small formation, killing the defenders like small arrows. .
The defenders suffered many casualties. They could no longer bear the fear and turned around and ran away.
When the supervising team saw these guards running away in fear of fighting, they naturally dropped their swords and axes mercilessly and killed the deserters.
"ah!"
"Damn it, if Jiangdong soldiers kill us, you will kill us too. Why?"
"Brothers! Everyone is dead. Kill these supervising troops who are pretending to be powerful. Everyone can escape and still survive!"
A commander of the Lujiang army with a scar on his face shouted and raised his arms and shouted. When the surrounding guards heard his call, the crowd was excited and responded one after another.
"Wang Daobao is right. Anyway, we are going to die. Let's kill these war supervisors first!"
"That's right, I'm waiting for a bloody battle at the top of the city. Why should they kill us?"
"kill!"
The nearly a thousand defenders on the city were already in panic. However, fear was not just a negative emotion. When the fear reached its extreme, it would often produce the flames of anger.
Nearly a thousand defenders no longer resisted the Jiangdong Army's attack. Instead, they turned around and swarmed toward the supervising team, with angry expressions on their faces.
"Bold! Are you seeking death?"
The supervisor who had just killed the man roared angrily and reprimanded the guards. However, his dignity had already been wiped out. This group of angry Lujiang soldiers could no longer tolerate this group of supervisors who were pretending to be powerful.
The chief king, Scar, laughed ferociously: "Shi Wei, you have always been a fox and pretended to be a tiger, but now your end has come. You must die!"
Without saying a word, Wang Daobao grabbed the sharp blade and galloped forward. With a forward thrust, he got into Shi Wei's arms, and the sharp blade thrust forward with a pop. The white knife went in and the red knife came out. Shi Wei was shocked and stared at him in disbelief: "Scar Wang, you..."
"Who told you not to give us a way to survive!"
Wang DaoScar gave a sharp shout and stirred the sharp blade from side to side, causing Swayton to die.
"Brothers, kill these supervisors and surrender!"
"kill!"
Seeing that Wang Daobao took the lead and killed Shi Wei, the nearly a thousand defenders were all in high spirits and rushed towards the dozens of war supervisors. The crowd was furious.
Although these war supervisors are tall and wearing armor, because of this, they rarely experience battles. Their main job is to kill each other. Once the military situation is critical, there is no need for them to go into battle and fight for their lives. The troops were ordered to withdraw.
Suddenly faced with dozens of times the enemy's siege, these supervisory teams panicked and retreated.
"What are you doing? Are you going to rebel?"
Li Shu was stunned for a moment, then screamed sharply, like a eunuch for a moment.
"Li Shu! We didn't want to rebel. Duke Bo Fu trusted you and appointed you as the governor of Lujiang to guard one side. However, you betrayed Duke Bo Fu and threatened us to rebel. Now we are trying to bring order to the chaos."
Wang Daobao shouted.
"You fart!" Li Shuqi's face turned red and he screamed repeatedly.
"You're the one who farted!" Wang Daobao didn't talk nonsense to him. He raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, kill Li Shu and ask Zhou Lang for his head!"
"kill!"
The morale of the Lujiang defenders was greatly boosted, and they attacked Li Shu. Li Shu was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.
"hehe."
Outside Shuxian City, the veteran Cheng Pu standing next to Zhou Yu smiled: "Li Shu was unpopular and hijacked the Lujiang defenders to rebel. Now he deserves this end."
Pan Zhang on the side smiled and said: "What General Cheng said is very true. Mencius said, those who have gained the Tao will have many help, while those who have lost the Tao will have few. This Li Shu is a thief and a treacherous one. The spirit of Lord Bo Fu in heaven will naturally protect our army."
It can be said that the war situation has been decided at this moment, and Shu County will be captured in less than half an hour. However, Zhou Yu still looks serious, without any signs of relaxation.
"Grand Governor, Shu County is under attack. Is it possible that the Grand Governor is not satisfied with the performance of our army?"
Cheng Pu on the side noticed Zhou Yu's expression and couldn't help but express concern.
Zhou Yu shook his head: "General Cheng, our Jiangdong Army has experienced hundreds of battles, and Li Shu is a mediocre man. It will be easy to capture Shu County, but I always feel that things will not go so smoothly."
"The Governor is worried about Cao Jun?"
Cheng Pu said with relief: "I heard that Cao Cao sent two armies to attack Yanzhou and Jizhou respectively, and Xiahou Dun was besieged by Yu Jin in Xue County, unable to advance or retreat. Although the situation in Jizhou is still unclear, Jizhou is a large state with a dense population, so that Xu Huang can be entrusted with the important task of controlling one side by Liu Yuqing, so he must not be an easy person. How can Cao Jun still have the strength to attack our Lujiang River?"
"I'm afraid that Cao Cao is more than willing to do anything for me in Lujiang."
Zhou Yu nodded slightly: "What General Cheng said makes sense."
At this moment, the ground suddenly shook slightly, and Zhou Yu frowned.
He stood on an earth platform that was nearly two feet high. Standing high and seeing far away, he couldn't help but become serious as he looked around.
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."
Tap tap tap!
In the distance, a black line appeared, getting closer and closer. It turned out to be a group of Cao Jun cavalry. Thousands of horse hooves beat on the ground, as if the god of war was beating war drums, and the sound shook the earth.
