Zigui.

Zigui County is not big.

The city walls were originally dominated by earth and stone, but now they look like they are poured with flesh and blood.

Up and down the city walls, under the setting sun, there is a piece of red in the red.

With a series of commands in the Jiangdong Army under the city wall, the dark rain of arrows rushed into the air with the terrifying sound of bowstrings, covering the head of Zigui City in a large shadow.

The arrow fell down with a roar and bit on the stones, wooden stakes, floors, and soldiers who could not dodge or were accidentally exposed.

Sometimes the brain will do something that cannot be understood by normal people when they are nervous. Just like before the rain of arrows, a middle-level military academy has issued instructions to avoid and block, but there are still soldiers who don’t know what to think, and then move from the place where they would not have been shot to a more dangerous area, or if they have hidden their bodies, they feel unsafe and have to move in a position halfway through...

Although Zhuge Liang's expression was still stable.

Although Huang Gai's strength was somewhat unexpected, it seemed to be expected.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Huang Gai was obviously regarded as a green leaf, just like he was only selling his butts... uh, a general who sold his butts, then set off Zhou Yu's agility, and then used Zhou Yu to set off Zhuge Liang's myth. But in fact, burning the Red Cliff, to be precise, was neither the first thing Zhou Yu thought of, nor had any direct connection with Zhuge Liang, but the suggestion made by Huang Gai first, Zhou Yu agreed, and then Huang Gai executed it, and he almost died.

As for the wonderful miracles such as the wonderful straw boat borrowing arrows and east wind in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang did not do anything at all...

The truth is Zhuge Liang's contribution to the Battle of Red Cliff. Strictly speaking, there is only one thing, that is, he promoted the alliance between Sun Quan and Liu Bei.

Therefore, in the Three Kingdoms games in later generations, Zhou Yu's skills were often set to be the God of Fire. In fact, half of this military medal was Huang Gai's.

The position set up by Zhuge before was stable and clever, not only curbing the advance of Jiangdong soldiers and boats on the water, but also left Jiangdong soldiers on the land helpless. After Huang Gai failed in the attack, he immediately found a way to break the deadlock. Although Zhuge Liang's crossbows and stone catapults could break Huang Gai's tower ships and his mountain soldiers could block Jiangdong soldiers, Zhuge could not resist the raging fire and thick smoke...

Later, Zhuge Liang also responded to Huang Gai with a fire, but this does not mean that Huang Gai's strategy is wrong. Huang Gai didn't expect that Zhuge had this trick. The efficiency of setting fire in the river water, although it was assisted by tinder oil, was also restricted by tinder oil. If it was not stained with tinder oil, it would naturally not cause any harm. After the Jiangdong army lost some ships and personnel, they received the second wave of supplements, quickly gathered up again, removed the obstacles on the water surface, and rushed to Zigui.

Zigui County is an important node in the entire long waterway.

Starting from the Yidao, the waterway enters an area with many mountains and forests. Zigui County is a rare flat area between the mountains and rivers that can provide army repairs, and has now become the key point of competition.

Sudden arrows covered the city walls like heavy rain, and soldiers with poor protection fell down in a row.

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly.

Although he was intentionally showing weakness, he did not expect that the quality of these guards in Zigui was so poor...

Of course, if it were during training, these Zigui defenders might not have performed so badly.

After all, there is a big difference between actual combat and training.

During training, the soldiers knew that this was training and would not really die, so they naturally acted more firm and courageous. In actual combat, the original subtle wavering and fear were invisibly magnified.

But there is no good way to do this, because actual combat is practical combat. After a practical combat, if these Zigui defenders survive, their mentality and will will be greatly improved.

But now...

A large part of these defenders in Zigui were originally Jingzhou soldiers who surrendered when Wei Yan attacked Jiangling. Later, some soldiers were recruited nearby local areas because of the lack of sufficient military training. In addition, the general bandits around Zigui were faced with general bandits, and even ethnic minorities such as Di people and juren who were not even considered to be, so it was naturally enough. However, now facing Jiangdong soldiers who also had sharp armor-piercing, even if they had a slight advantage in equipment, they could not completely make up for their shortcomings.

Fortunately, after the Jiangdong soldiers got ashore, they were not as powerful as they were on ships and warships.

Under Zigui City, soldiers from Jiangdong swarmed in, shouting as if they were about to pierce the sky here.

Gain experience in actual combat and grow in actual combat.

This seems to be true for both parties...

The Jiangdong soldiers adapted faster, while the defenders of Zigui still had some problems.

Soldiers who are panicked and unacceptable to actual combat will die quickly, and the rest will naturally become tempered veterans and finally have the opportunity to become elites.

The injured and dead soldiers will be carried away by a special person and sent to the city.

The archers above the city also fought back against the archers in Jiangdong amid the call of orders.

Compared with the solid stone battlements on the top of the city, the wooden shields and rattan cards of the Jiangdong soldiers were somewhat thin. Jiangdong archers who had no time to hide were shot and fell down in rows. The screams sounded like a group of people, echoing up and down, combining inside and outside, showing the fragility of life and the impermanence of fate.

Then the archers on the top of the city began to adjust their angles and began to shoot Jiangdong soldiers rushing up behind the battlements. Jiangdong soldiers charging under the city fell one after another, and blood splattered everywhere. The soldiers shot were either killed on the spot, fell to the ground, or whistled on the ground, and then dragged down by the soldiers in charge of medical treatment in Jiangdong...

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Jiangdong Bing also has medical soldiers.

Anyway, the fattest tail of all the men is shaking in front of them, and very few people can resist pulling it.

The crowds came to the city head, with rows of slanting branches and rows of ladders with tender green leaves, and Jiangdong soldiers climbed up like ants. The archers on the city head did not retreat immediately, but bent down to find an opportunity to shoot the climbing Jiangdong soldiers. From time to time, Jiangdong soldiers were shot and fell down from the ladder screaming. Blood dyed the city walls and the land under the city into bright red purple, red, black and red.

Zhuge Liang looked up at the distance and saw that behind the Jiangdong military formation, the newly built ladders, chariots and chariots were slowly pushing down towards Zigui City.

It is already good to be able to create these siege equipment in such a short time. It can be called a proper arrangement and move quickly. After all, when Zhuge Liang arranged the mountain positions in the waterway, he did not relax his defense arrangements for the Zigui land. Before the Jiangdong soldiers arrived, Zhuge ordered that several miles of trees and forests outside the Zigui County city be cut down, and even slightly larger stones were collected into the city.

This caused considerable difficulties for the Jiangdong soldiers, otherwise Huang Gai would not have sent people to send boats to the mountains and forests on the other side of the shore to cut down timber.

The Jiangdong Army did indeed put in the capital.

Before these big guys were built, the Jiangdong Army did not stop attacking. It would launch a wave of attacks one or two hours apart. Every time, there would be dozens of corpses left or pulled back, and there would be more wounded people.

It was not until now that these big guys were brought out, which also meant a real fierce battle, perhaps only starting from now on.

Zhuge Liang carefully measured the height of the carriage, and it seemed to be about the same as the Zigui city wall. Although the Zigui city wall was not as tall as the Xiong Pass, it was not low. The craftsmen in Jiangdong were of good quality. The height difference was not much different by visual inspection, which means that there were indeed two brushes.

However, a small number of slugs and rushers do not have much effect.

Zhuge Liang's face was still stable, "Come on, prepare tinea oil."

Of course, turmeric oil is used to deal with squeezers and steepers.

The turmeric oil cannot be used too much, because the number of rushers and buckles that the yellow cover pushes up for the first time is not large. If it is not controlled and used up, it will be numb the next time.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang felt that Huang Gai seemed to be planning something...

Or maybe something was hidden under the battlefield, he had not discovered it yet.

"Fa Hengzhi, prepare a team of 100 people. When Jiangdong retreats, he will kill his soldiers and drive them out." Zhuge Liang ordered, "But be careful of Jiangdong ambushing. If there is any accident, return immediately."

Faping took the order and left.

Gan Ning, who was beside Zhuge Liang, looked a little ugly. He blinked his eyes and pursed his mouth. He couldn't help but say loudly: "Entertainment, I'm here! Why don't you let someone go out of the city to kill the general and seize the flag!"

Gan Ning was held accountable before, but now he is eager to save face. When he sees a chance to fight, why don’t he be anxious? Otherwise, when his merits are won by others, how can he look up and be a human being?

Zhuge Liang glanced at Gan Ning and said, "No hurry."

Gan Ning wanted to jump, but after repeated assurance, he got the chance to return to the battlefield with Zhuge Liang for the second time. He really didn't dare to act arrogantly at this time. He could only squint his hands and whisper to himself in a low voice.

Huang Gai, who was on the tower on the bank of the river, looked at the Zigui city wall from afar, couldn't help but sigh, "The soldiers from Sichuan and Sichuan are definitely not ordinary."

He still had some fear.

But he had to come.

The internal dilemma of Jiangdong is more troublesome than what it looks like on the outside.

Perhaps others think Jiangdong is pretty good, but in fact, what kind of thing is Jiangdong now? As a member of the upper ruler of Jiangdong, Huang Gai naturally has some account in his mind.

Is Jiangdong absent from a general?

No shortage.

Is there a shortage of counselors in Jiangdong?

There is no shortage either.

But Jiangdong was trapped in Jiangdong, unable to move forward and dared not retreat.

Huang Gai figured out a little bit, but he couldn't figure it out all.

In fact, the Jiangdong Army's training targets on land are basically similar to those of the Sichuan and Shu Army, and most of them are Shanyue. Therefore, when the Jiangdong Army attacks a bone that is not too hard like Zigui, there are also some discomforts.

"I said, Governor Huang, the Sichuan Army is just relying on the city wall to guard. He has been hiding inside all day and dare not confront us in a dignified duel. What's there to praise?" Chen Wu heard Huang Gai's words, and laughed and said loudly, "It's true that the cavalry and horses dominate the northern part of the land. But in Sichuan and Shu, it's high mountains and deep waters, how can it be compared with the powerful cavalry and Guanzhong? He even heard that the Zigui general is only a weak child. Is it ridiculous that there is no one in this river? It's ridiculous that there is no general in this river! After the city is broken, if he can capture this son, he will tie his neck and crawl at his feet to entertain the soldiers!"

Chen Wu's vulgar words were obviously more in line with the taste of ordinary soldiers. After he said this, the soldiers in Jiangdong around him burst into laughter, as if they would conquer Zigui City in the next moment.

Huang Gai's face darkened, "Chen Zilie, you must know that arrogant soldiers are prone to defeat!"

"Yes, yes! Governor Huang said! A proud soldier, haha, it's easy to defeat!" Chen Wu glanced at Huang Gai and beat him again haha.

Huang Gai gritted his teeth.

Chen Wu smiled with a crooked mouth.

Even if the soldiers around were dull, they seemed to be able to detect something wrong. They even gave each other their eyes and lowered their heads, hoping to put a background board sign on their heads, indicating that the real person had not seen anything here and heard nothing.

Huang Gai was too lazy to say anything to Chen Wu, and Chen Wu's expression showed some disdain without any concealment.

His words just now seemed to belittle Sichuan and Shu on the surface, but in fact they were actually ridiculing Huang Gai.

Look, Sichuan and Shu are so trashed. You Huang Gai have suffered losses in front of such a garbage soldier. Does that mean...

uh-huh!

No matter whether Chen Wu has qualifications or achievements, he can't compare with Huang Gai. Even if Huang Gai was defeated before, Chen Wu could not say anything on the surface. After all, as a general, who can say that he has won every battle? Even Governor Zhou had suffered losses before and had defeated the war. If Chen Wu said that he would be defeated, if he was defeated, would he turn the shit and urine he threw on his head?

Therefore, Chen Wu would indulge his subordinates to sing, but he would not openly break up with Huang Gai on the surface. As for innuendo, it is indispensable to point out the mulberry and slander. After all, Chen Wu would not directly say his name. Could Huang Gai still be able to get the seat by himself?

If Dian Wei is a general of the ranger under Cao Cao and Guan Yu is a general of the ranger under Liu Bei, then Chen Wu is a general of the ranger under Sun Quan, Jiangdong, representing the ranger faction, or a general with a ranger character.

Huang Gai is from the same generation as Sun Jian, while Chen Wu followed Sun Ce, and now he is slightly more biased towards Sun Quan. However, Sun Quan's emphasis on Chen Wu only remains on the surface, especially for Chen Wu's "Lujiang Shangjia" under Chen Wu, he is more or less afraid of it.

"Lujiang Shangjia" is Chen Wu's direct private soldiers. This is not a big problem. After all, Jiangdong generals all have the following private soldiers to support as many private soldiers as they can. However, Chen Wu's "Lujiang Shangjia" is basically from Lujiang. He is surrounded by each other, has a strong personality and a decisive style, and is ready to die. Naturally, he also gained some fame in the Jiangdong Army, which made Sun Quan unable to move if he wanted to split his military power in the middle and late period.

This is very troublesome...

Sun Ce won over Chen Wu because he fell in love with the soldiers in Lujiang. As a result, before Sun Ce had time to do anything, he died in a car accident and had not had time to recover the investment he gave. Isn’t it just a cheaper Chen Wu?

Sun Quan wanted to accept Sun Ce's creditor's rights, but how could it be that easy?

Chen Wu understood Sun Quan's thoughts, so he was always vague and still took advantage of the benefits, but it was absolutely impossible to hand over the military power. This time, Chen Wu came. Although he was the leader of Huang Gai on the surface, Huang Gai could not cross Chen Wu to command the "Lujiang Shangjia".

At the same time, most rangers look down on serious aristocratic families, aristocratic families look down on martial arts, and martial arts look down on the rangers...

Then the people of Jiangdong look down on the Nanyue people, and the people of Nanyue also hate all the people of Jiangdong.

Anyway, all levels in Jiangdong despise each other.

Humans will spontaneously form circles. The characteristics of group warming in ancient genes will make the characteristics in the circle more obvious. The so-called big bureaucrats can only attract small bureaucrats. What can be attracted by despised monsters is of course despised monsters, boxers attract boxers, etc. Only people with the same characteristics around can support each other.

So who are the people who are attracted to Jiangdong?

After Sun Ce, those who fled to Jiangdong, including the Three Kingdoms, the Jin people fled south, and later the Southern Song Dynasty, etc., those who fled south were all refugees, those who were unwilling to face the invaders and avoid various disasters...

It’s not that these people are not good, after all, it is normal for people to seek profit and avoid harm, nor does it mean that these people cannot escape. After all, they cannot require everyone to have blood and courage to fight. However, when a group of people gather together and form a fixed mindset, they feel that the rebels are fools, and the gentle ones are very smart, which is definitely something wrong.

Although Chen Wu smiled at everyone on the surface, he not only looked down on Huang Gai and others in his heart, but also looked down on Sun Quan and Jiangdong's great cleverness. In Chen Wu's heart, he felt that Sun Ce was the same as a match for each other. What a hero he was. He had defeated Jiangdong with one person's power to build this foundation. However, he didn't expect that it took him to die. Jiangdong had lost his aura and arrogance. How could this not make people feel depressed?

While Huang Gai and Chen Wu were each thinking about each other, suddenly tinkered oil on the top of Zigui City and ignited it. Suddenly, the rushing carts and studs that the Jiangdong Army had finally made under the city were trapped in a sea of ​​fire!

『It turns out that there is still tincture oil!" Huang Gai sneered twice, and then said to Chen Wu, "There will most likely be the opportunity to cover up the kill after the fire is extinguished. Captain Chen can lurk on one side and attack him with a look."

The city of Zigui screamed in tears, but amid such screams, the Jiangdong generals on the tower stood up.

Chen Wu stared at Huang Gai.

Huang Gai stared at Chen Wu.
